Wikileaks and Less Important Info
Dec. 7th, 2010 11:24 amI haven't posted in a while, so I figure that it might be time to do that. Hello, internet! I am well. Munching on cheese and crackers, at the moment. They're very nom. I was wary about flax seed crackers originally, and I didn't like the smell, but they've grown on me.
Here's a tiny PSA from your friendly neighborhood Fareii: Keep up on the WikiLeaks news.1 (That goes to the IP address, since certain agencies have put considerable effort into blocking the DNS.) Whether you agree with what they do or think that they're dangerous, read the documents. Please. There is a very real chance that the people operating the site may have "accidents", and don't you think that if your government (any government, not just the USA) arranges an assassination, you have a right to know why?
And if you do believe in them, give them some support? Please? Things are starting to look nasty, with the founder in police custody (which might actually be safer!) and a whole lot of businesses looking to brown-nose by locking their doors. Download the insurance policy2 if you can. I'm not going to wax poetic about details, because I know I'm either singing to the choir or screaming at the pews, but awareness is never a bad thing no matter where you land on the issue.3
1) If you're apolitical... um. Hi? How's it going? Weather getting hot/chilly at this time of year, isn't it? Yeah, you know how it is, same old, same old... You should probably know that I really don't understand you, but I'm willing to try.
2) Which I can't until I can get to a connection that's not government controlled. Seriously, work locked down that specific torrent. :| Not amused, work. Not amused at all.
3) Seriously, people in the USA? Stop demanding Assange be tried for treason. You're embarrassing me.
( Less important stuff, but what you probably are reading for )
