Wikileaks: Swiss bank freezes Julian Assange's account - Polidicks

After I found out what they (WikiLeaks) leaked in the last leak, as in, super important places for the US and not only, I understood what kind of an idiot this Assange is. He just fucking told every fucking terrorist around the world primary targets to hit, how can you people think he's cool or something? He's like Che Guevara in a way. "Revolutionary", "Freedom fighter", my ass. Just another idiot that only wants to fuck up everything. Would be best put down IMO.

That dude is not going to have an easy life.

He's going to have to just hand over the encryption key soon, governments are seriously starting to put the squeeze on him.

The only kinds of attacks this will help are the guys who get arrested trying to get a Ruger mini-14 through an airport.

I'm hoping Assange got some secret move up his sleeve.

Already a thread about it: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1034860-Wikileaks-founder-Defense-Fund-frozen[/url]. And as I said there already: [quote]:siren:Swiss post is trying to talk to Assagne in order to transfer his money to another account:siren: I only have a swiss source for that though :saddowns: [url]http://www.tagesschau.sf.tv/Nachrichten/Archiv/2010/12/06/Schweiz/PostFinance-schliesst-Konto-von-Assange?WT.zugang=front_top[/url][/quote]

Your entire knowledge of the intelligence field is from movies and books, as I'm assuming you've never worked for the CIA or your countries equivalent. The list of facilities is [i]interesting[/i], but a pretty damn far cry from 'whistle-blowing'.

Julian must think his life feels like shit right now. I kinda feel bad for him

[QUOTE=Nerts;26532507]My point is it's actually near useless to terrorists, there's almost no info on the layout or security at any of the facilities.[/QUOTE] But it is also a massive list of sites. While a Nuclear power plant in the US may be an obvious target, a cobalt mine in The Congo is not. Nor is an oil pipeline in the middle of Eurasia, unless you already know details about oil distribution.

You know, all this makes a famous quote come to mine. "[B]They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin [/B]

Assange is one of the most collected people in the media today, if you think shit like this fazes him you're wrong.

[QUOTE=1239the;26535329]You know, all this makes a famous quote come to mine. "[B]They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin [/B][/QUOTE] What liberties exactly are being given up?

[QUOTE=5killer;26535375]What liberties exactly are being given up?[/QUOTE] Uh. Your right to freedom of information?

[QUOTE=1239the;26535411]Uh. Your right to freedom of information?[/QUOTE] I can still read Wikileaks.

[QUOTE=5killer;26535485]I can still read Wikileaks.[/QUOTE] Just saying, all the people saying that Julian has gone too far and should be arrested or even assassinated are pretty much the people who the quote is aimed at.

If they froze the Swiss bank account of everyone suspected of criminal activity, they wouldn't have any clients. [QUOTE=1239the;26535411]Uh. Your right to freedom of information?[/QUOTE] Which amendment is that?

haha owned

[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;26530805]But then, I think he could find people that are sympathetic with Wikileaks so maybe he could sleep on their couch[/QUOTE]I would let him

[QUOTE=Mingebox;26536322]Which amendment is that?[/QUOTE] Unless there is a law specifically stating there is no right to freedom of information then it is the ninth

[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy18;26538057]Unless there is a law specifically stating there is no right to freedom of information then it is the ninth[/QUOTE] People have the right to information, but the government has no obligation to tell people everything they want to know.

What the fuck Switzerland, I thought you were cool. I guess I was mistaken. :smith:

Ok, who the fuck is doing a Dos attack on postfinance (where Assagne had his account).? Can't reach it since yesterday.

[QUOTE=FHamster;26542261]We had no right to freedom of information.[/QUOTE] It's a human right, as far as I know: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_information[/url]

[QUOTE=rosthouse;26542180]Ok, who the fuck is doing a Dos attack on postfinance (where Assagne had his account).? Can't reach it since yesterday.[/QUOTE] Who else? /b/

[QUOTE=FHamster;26542261]We had no right to freedom of information.[/QUOTE] It's kind of funny that whenever some government is revealed to be withholding information or spying on its citizens, Facepunch screams "1984". Yet when an organization like Wikileaks actually gives them the information they deserve to know, Facepunch sticks their head in the sand and wants it to all go away.
