Articles and other information about Wikileaks

The articles collected below are early observations on the Wikileaks project, from 2010 after the leak of the Afghan War Diaries:

Broadly supportive

There is an extended series of articles by Arthur Silber on his "Once Upon a Time" blog [1] in ardent support of Wikileaks which repay careful study. They also contain copius links to further information.

Wikileaks as a 'Limited Hangout' or 'is being used by Shhh you know who'

Webster Tarpley has put forward a solid argument that Wikileaks is a limited hangout.[3]

Puffed up outrage clearly in service to the official narrative

On the face of it the organisations listed here are bona-fide Establishment critics/dissidents. The problem is that they are large NGO's which, like Wikileaks itself, wiil ALWAYS be targets of the SIS's. The longer they are established, the more likely and thorough the penetration. In the case of Reporters Without Borders there is ample evidence of their complicity in furthering covert Western agendas in third world countries - especially Cuba and Venezuela
