Wikileaks - Revealing the Wizards behind the Curtain
So...on the radio this morning I heard about this neat site called Wikileaks which is being set up. The purpose of it is to provide a website on which regular people can post leaked government documents anonymously. It is based on the same open concept as Wikipedia, which I love, but has the added benefit of anonymity. The goal of the project is to promote open governance by exposing corruption and unethical behaviour. A pretty honourable intention...and perhaps, if X-Files has taught me anything, pretty courageous. The Truth is Out There but the Man is out to protect it.
Today, while looking into this website I stumbled across something even more interesting...the next chapter in this story. The secret discussions by the organizers of Wikileaks have been leaked onto the internet!
It seems that one of those closely involved in the project became angry about the fundraising efforts ($5 million by July) and decided the best way to get back at them was to expose the organizers of Wikileaks.
They provide sufficient information to identify some of the conspiracy crackers. One of them runs a website which currently has his picture up on it. I think he could be this guy. Check the two pics...do you think they are the same person? Maybe with a bit more hair...but perhaps I'm grasping at straws....I'm a bit new at this conspiracy stuff.
It is interesting to read the draft versions of the Analysis of a Leaked Document that they provide on their News page. The author of the analysis uses a pseudonym of Bourbaki in the drafts...but this is changed in the final version to Harpoon.
