http://www.pledgebank.com/defend-wl Comments on 'donate $200 towards defending WikiLeaks in their first amendment fight' en-gb team@pledgebank.com hourly 2 1901-01-01T00:00+00:00 http://www.pledgebank.com/defend-wl#comment_2452718 Wikileaks is the only way for straight-justice in the current world. http://www.pledgebank.com/defend-wl#comment_2376718 Being able to speak out against corporations and governments much more powerful than you is an integral part of keeping things honest. The laws are there to ensure that nobody is treated unjustly, but big corporations with expensive law firms on retainer can bend the law as they see fit to suppress these important rights. Whistleblowers are required to ensure any large company is entirely legit and not injuring anyone in the course of its business. Wikileaks is an incredible advance on that front. For the first time, ever, we have access to all the dirty laundry we're not supposed to see - the secrets that have been kept from us because they show a corrupt government or a belligerent corporation; or even an abusive cult. And this kind of resource should never, ever be removed or censored. Wikileaks should be a convincing threat to anyone considering illegal activities in their position of power, and the courts (seperated as they are from other branches) must recognise this. Best of luck in your future endeavours, wikileaks crew.

There is a push to outlaw whistleblowers as whistleblowers put a crimp on illegal activities which enriches the syndicate of the soulless. Therefore it is necessary for each and every citizen to stand up and demand accountably. After all - what good are laws if they are designed to be circumvented by a small powerful elite of soulless individuals. http://www.pledgebank.com/defend-wl#comment_2300303 I am outraged that this could happen in our country. I am not a very good writer, but I have just started a blog about food from China. I would hate to be shut down because I named names and demanded full disclosure of where our food is coming from. I am in full support of your cause, and I am donating what I can right now. I will also help you spread the word. http://www.pledgebank.com/defend-wl#comment_2299016 Protect our freedom of speech http://www.pledgebank.com/defend-wl#comment_2297876 String em up! ;) http://www.pledgebank.com/defend-wl#comment_2296764 You are surprised? I cannot believe that you are surprised that the U.S. government is trying to trample down the 1st amendment to the U.S. Constitution when it suites their desire. Federal, state and local governments in the U.S. have been trampling down the 2nd amendment to the U.S. Constitution for over 70 years (extremely hard for the last 30 years). If you do not protect the 2nd amendment, you will not get to keep the other amendments. http://www.pledgebank.com/defend-wl#comment_2296266 Political leaders are not liable for their mistakes or actions. And they will never be. But if every aspect of their decisions is recorded and become public within a reasonable time frame, accountability, in other forms, will be guaranteed. Private citizens only have the power comfered by the free flow of information. Otherwise elections and democracy becomes a sad, self destructing farse. The USA administration is a pathetic example of all the above. http://www.pledgebank.com/defend-wl#comment_2296251 I was outraged when I read that WIKILEAKS had essentially been censored. I was very upset with the Judge handling the case because if the Court had been smart, knowing he did not have jurisdiction, he could have asked the parties to volunatarily agree to a court ordered mediation and or selected an impartial attorney to assist with binding arbitration. But granting the Plantiff's motions outright was just outrageous over-reaching. I know what censorship feels like. NASA has been behind a well coordinated effort to censor and shut down our web site for several years now but they have failed. Cordially, S.
