… could become as important a journalistic tool as the Freedom of Information Act.
- Time Magazine
Wikileaks is the world’s #1 resource for publishing secret documents that are in the interest of public good. This site is a colossal pain in the ass for corporate criminals, corrupt governments, tax cheats and anyone out to abuse the general public. The site allows anyone in the world to submit secret documents anonymously so that the whole world can know what the criminals don’t want you to know. Whistleblowers and people of conscience who come across powerful secret information are able to make it public through Wikileaks. It is the only site of its kind.
You may have read about stories in the news that Wikileaks helped to break since they began operations in 2007. This site does what no other site in the world is doing or has done before: They give the truth a place to come out. A brief sample of stories that have come out of Wikileaks include,
Anti-union call between Bank of America, Bernie Marcus, et al. and Rick Berman, 17 Oct 2008
How One Fund’s Profits Ended Up in the Caymans
Wikileaks releases NATO report on civilian deaths
UN probe indicts Kenya on police killings
CIA Algeria station chief Andrew Warren drug rape search affidavit, unredacted, 2008
Secret Israeli defense database shows full extent of illegal settlements, 2009
Imprisoned Australian author Harry Nicolaides censored novel: Verismilitude, 2005
Anthropologists Adopt New Language Against Secret Research
Parts for ‘dirty bomb’ found in slain US man’s home
Change you can download: a billion in secret Congressional reports
Now, they need our help – and by help, I mean money. Nothing of value comes free in this world. Not liberty, health, food, space or in this case – the truth. Please visit their website to make a donation of any amount. Please help keep a place in the world for truth to be found. Please help fight corruption manipulation from elected governments, military dictatorships and corporate criminals.
You can give money directly or send a letter of support to the email address below. I ask that you do both.
Here is the letter I received from Wikileaks:
The Sunshine Press (Wikileaks) is in a dire financial position.
We need your letter of support.
Although we expect to receive some $2M in funding later this year,
there has been no formal funding since last year.This organization’s positive world impact has never been
higher, but it is, as a consequence, also more expensive run and
ran out of formal funding four months ago. Since that time our staff
and lawyers have funded the entire organization from their modest
personal savings and anyone else they can find to assist.The reason that impartial, revelatory investigative journalism has
been traditionally funded by readers is that governments and
billionaires alike will not support groups which are tasked to
expose and reform them.Despite being universally recognized as being the most important
stimulus of democratic reforms, government funding for
such organizations is non-existent. At the same time organizations
which are guaranteed to have no domestic political impact are well funded.On-line donations, an important buttress to our ability to take on
all governments and companies with total independence, have amounted
to around $10,000 since the beginning of the year. Costs outside
of court actions are almost $400,000 per year.Our $2M funding injection later this year will support a radical expansion
of our mission. Until then, your support, and that of your friends and
colleagues, will mean the difference between continuing to
fight the good fight and shutting down.If you support our work or have benefited from our cause, please
write a strong letter of recommendation we can to present to
additional funding bodies. You may examine our front page or google
news for ideas.Also consider an easy on-line donation; every contribution, no
matter how small, will directly extend the number of months and
days we can continue taking on the world:Send support letters to wl-supporters@sunshinepress.org
Thank you.
Please give something to this site…time, money publicity. We need all the allies we can get for truthdigging.

Your site is fabulous.
Right now in Australia we have the issue of net censorship which gets more and more ridiculous.
If it wasn’t for Wikileaks we’d get only half the story, and that’s the spin from the government.
Good work guys!

Martin,
Thanks for the kind words and for reading my post. I am only an ally of Wikileaks. I too believe in the fundamental need for transparency & honesty in public serving agencies. You folks are up against it in Australia right now. You’ve got some politicians in bed with corporate interests that are trying to screw the whole country. Good luck fighting it. Do like the FBI does when going after the mob – follow the money. Net Neutrality is about the free flow of information. Be sure to keep asking yourself who it is that will gain from an uninformed public.

Exactly Mr Gadfly …. Excellent “Follow the Money” Analogy.Removing Australians access to ordinary “average” pornography along with the illegal kind will immediately boost the XXX Rated DVD Industry in Australia.Have a guess which ONE state in Australia is the Capitol of porn movies production and distribution? Coincidentally Canberra. The home of these corrupt pollichickens. This is a direct attack on peoples basic rights to information and has very little to do with illegal pornography at all. Next they will expand the lists to material they feel is “unwanted” or critical of their behaviour.

Steve,
You’re 100% right. Here in the US, the opponents of Net Neutrality are broken into two camps: Monopolies and Crooks; and they partner up to fight the free flow of information. An educated population is a threat to those looking to manipulate the marketplace and those that are breaking the law. Knowledge is power and it is our only chance to avoid becoming wage slaves to monopolies and tyrants.

Here, in Portugal, we’re living in a real dictatorship government.We’ve been squeezed from all sides by taxes imposed by them and if you shout a little bit more, they simply throw the A.S.A.E. to squeeze you till you have nothing. In the last 3 years, Portugal unfortunaly had increased up to 19% of population from middle class to extreme pour ( less than 1 Eur a day ). I cannot afford to help You this moment. We’re in deep economical problems with industries, commerce and services closing day by day. All I can do is to give You my simpathy and wish to leave in another epoque.Antonio

Antonio,
Thanks for your highly informative and personal comment. I definitely feel the crunch, too. Thanks for reading and supporting with your intellect and free will. That is something of value to me as well.

Hi, I’ve tried several times to access your link to donate, but using firefox, latest version, am unable to connect any way to do so. Can you send me a good link via email?
thanks

For more than a week, every time I attempt to read a new story’s link to Wikileaks, I get a “WikiLeaks is overloaded by global interest” page.
What’s the point of having “more than 1.2 million documents” if they are not accessable.
Also, a majority of links in your twitter feed are dead links; see: http://bit.ly/1BSTl0 , http://bit.ly/1E5UCv , http://bit.ly/bxG9W , and http://bit.ly/8USNY for samples.

United States policy of Information Superiority includes denying access to information. Listening, spying on everyone was once the exclusive power of the Church. Today corporations compete for minds, wage Holy wars, and kill dissidents. The Church of the Administration LOST CONTROL. President Dwight D. Eisenhower
warned of the military-industrial complex. Beware the Armed Church Choir.
