WAIT!!!!


It's on the propaganda services... his activities have been on the propaganda services too often recently... damn it, he's been played!

It's a disinfo operation... Julian your still a hero but you've been played... better clarify what you know.

Good man. Down with the self-righteous pricks who think they have the right to censor information to those who permit the existence of their authority.

We need more people like him.

In a statement, US National Security Adviser Gen James Jones said such classified information "could put the lives of Americans and our partners at risk".

Had to have a chuckle when I read that! I would have thought that it was at the forefront of his mind that they are already at grave risk and that his administration was responsible for putting them there in the first place. Probably also armed the opposition!

What did I miss?

What did he do?

Voting for censorship is like voting for ignorance. Poke my eyes out and be my guide.

So which party has a policy of fast internet without the censorship?

You missed nothing.

He did nothing.

He didn't spend 4 years at university, 6 years in training, then 30 years as a nurse working long shifts for not much pay to ease the suffering of sick people

He didn't become a primary school teacher and go work in a deprived area and spend all his waking life trying to instill enthusiasum into children to lift them out of poverty.

He didn't volunteer for overseas aid work in a third world country.


He is named as the director of a bunch of nerds who set up a web site on which people can anomolously post stuff that other people then believe is 100% true because it is on his web site and because it is the opposite of what they read elsewhere.

Quite interestingly some strange stuff happened recently which Wikileaks said was due to 'funding shortages'. If you delve deeper there seems to be some strange PR and spin designed to canvas public support, whip up funds and discredit people who don't fund Wikileaks.

I say quite interesting as no leaked e-mails from one Wikileaks director to another director talking about how they could spin up some PR have ever appeared on Wikileaks.

In fact the inner workings of Wikileaks is a bigger secret to the world than the inner workings of the US military. Which I find ironic, I am sure others find to be necessary to protect against attack.

Seems that some secrets are best kept as secrets - which is something both Wikileaks and the US military agree on, so end of the day - he did nothing.

Y'see, there's the rub.

It's definitely not labour.

Libs support internet filtering, they don't want the NBN, but they have rumbled about an 'alternative' fast broadband.

The greens are a good bet, but a vote for the greens means that if they don't get in then you just voted for Labour.

I reckon voting should be like a big old referendum, you don't vote for parties, you vote for issues.
No internet filter - big tick
Fast downloads, and a guaranteed connection when you move house - tick
Daylight saving - tick [}:)]
20 knots every day - BIG TICK!!!

25+ knots, day off - TICK!

The LDP believes in No Internet Censorship
http://www.ldp.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1032:not-evil-just-wrong&catid=108:admin&Itemid=29

The LDP supports voluntary voting, citizens initiated referenda, fixed parliamentary terms, recall elections, constitutional protection of private property and sunset clauses on legislation. ...
The LDP supports the right to own firearms for sport, hunting, collecting and self-defence. ...
The LDP supports competitive federalism as it was intended by the founders of the constitution. ...
The LDP believes traffic laws should strike a better balance between safety and efficient travel. ...
The LDP believes those who choose to use motorcycles and scooters should not be discouraged by government policies. ...

^ It would have been cheap as chips to initally setup, but as a site gathers more and more traffic it can become expensive. The Setup I worked on two years ago consumed $100,000/year in electricity alone. That is not uncommon.

edit: and the current I.T. project I am on, I just had confirmed, is running at $900,000/month. It will have taken 2 years when complete.

Funny: One complaint from a user/employee we saw was that the upgrade cost $26,000. Somebody missing some zeroes there.

Server hosting costs aside, apparently Mr Assange spends a lot of time travelling very carefully so as to avoid US entrapment. Bet that costs a bit.

If you're interested, he's supposed to be interviewed on Lateline tonight on ABC1
