Julian Assange, founder of the controversial Internet project WikiLeaks, just a few days has become a global superstar whose popularity is comparable to the largest-known politicians, actors or musicians. A hacker in the past and fighter for freedom of information in the present, Assange perfect for the title “Person of the Year”, which wants to award him the magazine Time.

Julian Assange was quite a good hacker (nickname – Mendax), helped write a book about the computer underground, and in the early 90′s prosecuted by Australian authorities for entry into computer networks.

One of the email adresses Assange – me@iq.org. Archive of the fact that he wrote before his world fame, is at the same address as the mail.

Site Wikileaks, whose name translates as “information leakage + wiki, currently has no relation to the wiki, but entirely devoted to leak. They come to the site using the form, where information could drain anyone. Assange back in 2006 for Wikileaks presented at the World Social Forum in Brazil (leftist anti-Davos). He said that at that time the site contained 1 million secret documents from around the world, and encouraged volunteer editors to help them streamline the principle of Wikipedia.

One of the founder of Wikipedia, Larry Sanger, said Assange enemy of the American people.

Several influential politicians urged Republicans to exterminate Julian Assange as terrorists without trial. Sarah Palin called him “an enemy agent who has blood on his hands of innocent victims.”

School of Diplomacy at Columbia uni first warning sent its graduates, citations and links to materials Wikileaks could threaten their careers in the U.S. state agencies.

The best thing that could make the Kiev Institute of International Relations – open a special course on the study “Keyblgeyta – 200,000 telegrams (” Cables “) on the U.S. embassies in various countries. Perhaps even if illiterate diplomatic representatives of Ukraine, who are mostly buying office for the money, learn how to prepare a brief and clear statements in Kiev. All other items can be canceled KIMO: they still have little in common with the global diplomacy.

About Assange publicly rebuked Sen. known libertarian Ron Paul, who has signaled that puts freedom of expression is higher than national security.

Julian Assange is on the international wanted list through Interpol to report on Sweden on charges of rape. After consensual sex, the victim  in a few days after the incident, wrote a complaint to Assange that he at some time refused to use perezervativ. According to Swedish law it is considered sexual assault. On these charges Assange arrested British Scotland Yard. In the photo: Julian Assange inside a car surrounded by police in London.

Last week, stocks fell several large companies on Wall Street. For example, Bank of America fell 10% after Assange declared him the next target.

Assange is the initiator of “paradise for freedom of speech” – a special system of laws to be adopted in Iceland. It will allow the media to register offices in this country, to become under the protection of its laws and not fear of litigation for its publication in other countries.

After the recent scandals Jónsdóttir Assange accused serial killer and urged to step aside so as not to cause harm to Wikileaks. In the photo: Activist advocates supporting Julian Assange.

In autumn 2010, Wikileaks published the most detailed description of the war stories (“The Iraqi dossier”) – more than 400,000 pages of records from the place of fighting. Among other things, in them we are talking about more than 15 000 cases of civilian deaths, not previously known. In the photo: the game of Iraqi children.

Thanks to Wikileaks, we got a chance to see how the powerful in the world of diplomacy. In the photo: The machine with the creator of the site WikiLeaks leaves the courthouse after the meeting.

Thanks to Wikileaks, we received evidence from third parties, how important it is for Russia Ukrainian history, and how much effort is made to reduce the extent of famine. In the photo: a shot from a documentary about the famine.

U.S. State Department two months ago in response to a proposal Assange refused to help edit a telegram to delete from them the names of people who may be affected for communications with American diplomats.

Instead, the U.S. government is virtually total war on Wikileaks. At the moment, for Wikileaks refused to provide services: the company Amazon, Mastercard, Visa, the payment system PayPal, Swiss Post Bank. The latter two institutions have frozen 100 thousand euros in donations collected for the relief Assange and server support Wikileaks. In the photo: the protestors opposing the arrest Assange donned a mask with his image.

On a side Assange and Wikileaks made hackers from the website 4chan. They have already announced their intention to punish the PayPal for the shameful behavior. Soon the site of the system was attacked. Attacking “put” sites Swedish prosecutors and the Post Bank, PayPal site works harder than usual.

Wikileaks has lost its name Wikileaks.org. This came after the company EasyDNS excluded it from their database, citing a very strong DDoS attack on their servers, which could suffer from their other clients. The situation was saved by Tweeter and FaceBook – new IP-addresses and names of Wikileaks mirrors were transferred to the social networks in real time, from hand to hand. According to rumors at the moment is the pressure on the leadership of Twitter and FaceBook to suspend the account Wikileaks.

Facebook made a statement that does not see the page Wikileaks with 1000000 members anything illegal. On Twitter, looks a bit suspicious fact that Wikileaks could not go for these days in the trends.

Part servers Wikileaks, after moving from France and an unsuccessful attempt is hosted by Amazon, located on floors Swedish provadera PRQ, where they were again attacked. ISP is known that the host site Pirate Bay and the “Kavkaz-Center”.

The legendary John Perry Barlow, co-founder Eff.org, said that “the first serious information war going on now, the battleground is Wikileaks, and you – the soldiers in it.”

Methods by which the U.S. is trying to censor Wikileaks origins of “Keyblgeytu” similar to Chinese attempts to censor the Internet. “Censors differ only as a justification for their actions in court” (c).

Umberto Eco on the Wikileaks said that under the rules of special services, top-secret messages, and should only contain all the known data – otherwise they would not believe. As an example, he cites a top secret telegram from the U.S. Embassy in Rome Berlusconi. The information it contains, even a week before the Open published NewsWeek.

Many feel that the origins of Wikileaks – it is not just a gigantic scandal of world level. Assange, justifiably or not, compared with Luther, and Keyblgeyt – with a manifesto nailed to the church door. Do not be surprised if the whole story with Wikileaks completed a radical restructuring of the world order. At least, the wave of leaks is very large: the already loud resignations of politicians, the Pirate Party of Sweden proposed to create an alternate, decentralized system of DNS-names, and Washington began to withdraw its diplomats.

Julian Asanzh is unlikely to be a maniac, eager to world fame. In fact, he went to his goal of more than 10 years (he wanted to make a site for the origins as far back as 1999, when the registered name leaks.org).

Today the 33 miners are being taken out from the copper and gold mine who are trapped since August 5th. On Monday, the Phoenix I capsule – the biggest of three built by Chilean navy engineers, named for the mythic bird.

The men will take a twisting, 20-minute ride to the surface. It should take about an hour for the rescue capsule to make a round trip, Aguilar told the AP.

Candles lit near Chilean flags at the San Jose mine, near the city of Copiapo, 800 km north of Santiago on October 12, 2010. Chile counted down the hours Tuesday to the start of a dramatic operation to winch 33 miners to the surface, with a presidential welcome awaiting them after 10 weeks trapped underground.

Carlos Galleguillos and Tabita Galleguillos, relatives of trapped miner Jorge Galleguillos stand at the camp where relatives wait for news outside the San Jose mine. The engineer leading Chilean rescue efforts, Andres Sougarett, said Monday his team has successfully tested a rescue capsule nearly all the way down to where 33 miners are trapped. The miners became trapped when the mine collapsed on Aug. 5.

Machinery covers the site of rescue operations for 33 trapped miners at the San Jose mine near Copiapo. Rescuers on Monday finished reinforcing the hole drilled to bring 33 trapped miners to safety and sent a rescue capsule nearly all the way to where the men are trapped. The miners became trapped when the gold and copper mine collapsed on Aug. 5 and are expected to be rescued starting Wednesday.
