WikiLeaks

How can I safely and anonymously donate money to Wikileaks? I have heard of US banks shutting down account if they discover a customer donating to Wikileaks. Cash is difficult because there is no assurance that it will reach the organisation. Maybe Western Union or something like that?

Bitcoin, maybe, if you consider that to be money.

On their donation page they say:

Via Postal Mail

You can post a donation via good old fashion postal mail to:

WikiLeaks (or any suitable name likely to avoid interception in your country)
BOX 4080
Australia Post Office - University of Melbourne Branch
Victoria 3052
Australia

I suggest writing, 'not WikiLeaks'. But if anybody in the government is looking out for these types of donations they are probably looking at the address.

Not the strangest but you are on to something.

The same post can be found:

afisara's other post here is:

How can I read the articles on Wikileaks? I know there a several different mirrors for it and theres the original wesite, then the current one. But for some reason I can't seem to find any documents or articles of which they said Wikileaks holds. Can any of you help me out with a link?

From December 21.

Is it acceptable that Wikileaks has published secret conversations between governments? I love it how they're exposing war crimes and crimes against humanity done by the U.S. empire, but do you think Assange is going too far in exposing what was supposed to be secret conversations between governments? Do governments have a right to secret conversations?

afisara joined a number of boards on December 16 and made a single post on December 20 or 21 about Wikileaks. Other activation dates were July 2/3. There are at least four forums where afisara joined on December 14 and posted on December 20 but the posts were not related to Wikileaks but they were of the same format. The June 10 post linked above is not under afisara but deewany. deewany hit many other forums around that date. I guess the goal is to get users to click on the links in the signature. Delete afisara.

I received 80 hits for discussions with WikiLeaks in its topic title. This one seems appropriate to share this news without initiating yet another wikileaks thread.

Minor convictions for ex-CIA coder in hacking tools case

A former CIA software engineer accused of stealing a massive trove of the agency's hacking tools and handing it over to WikiLeaks was convicted of only minor charges Monday, after a jury deadlocked on the more serious espionage charges against him.

Joshua Schulte, who worked as a coder at the agency's headquarters in Langley, Va., was convicted by a federal jury of contempt of court and making false statements after a four-week trial in Manhattan federal court that offered an unusual window into the CIA's digital sleuthing and the team that designs computer code to spy on foreign adversaries.

After deliberating since last week, the jury was unable to reach a verdict on the more significant charges. The verdict followed four days of deliberations, during which jurors reached impasse on several counts. One juror was dismissed last week after telling the panel she had come across news about the Schulte case before the trial.

Prosecutors portrayed Schulte as a disgruntled software engineer who exploited a little-known back door in a CIA network to copy the hacking arsenal without raising suspicion, in what was said to be the largest leak in CIA history involving classified information.

It was only after the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks published the so-called Vault 7 leak in 2017 — nearly a year after the theft — that the agency scrambled to determine how the information had been stolen. It identified Schulte, a 31-year-old originally from Lubbock, Texas, as the prime suspect.

Schulte had left the agency on stormy terms after falling out with colleagues and supervisors.

The data dump revealed CIA efforts to hack Apple and Android smartphones and even described efforts to turn internet-connected televisions into listening devices.

"These leaks were devastating to national security," Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Laroche told jurors. "The CIA's cyber tools were gone in an instant. Intelligence gathering operations around the world stopped immediately."
