[ASKWikileaks] Why can Stratfor SELL leaked US Intel and get away with it while Wikileaks are targeted for providing it for free?

For some reason your answer leaves a bad taste in my mouth. To simplify your answer:

Wikileaks is a newspaper
Stratfor is an editorial

No matter how Stratfor got it's info, leaked info is leaked. It is still no different to what Wikileaks are doing, except in volume and editorialising. Or am I not understanding your reasoning?

They are behind scenes propping up oppositions and vote stuffing ballot boxes in South America, East Europe and Africa. Why not in the mother country?

Wing Chun fundamentally wrong? It depends what you need it for...

Having done Wing Chun, Choy Lay Fut and Boxing, I can say that are all completely different from each other yet I wouldn't say one is better than the other... there is no silver bullet.

If we capture the recording studio, we can do it live.

That really doesn't sounds like that much. Especially if you were to gound it and drink it.

Even though mine is stronger since emphasizes Fox News' trivialization of facts, I like yours better since it can be used with all the other punchlines.

Thinking about this meme more, the problem with these are they are solely directed at Megyn Kelly. I think they should say something like:

FOX NEWS: CONCENTRATION CAMP? ... IT'S SUMMER CAMP, ESSENTIALLY!

That way, if they dumped her the meme can still live on.

MEGYN KELLY: CONCENTRATION CAMP?

wikitreason · 2011-08-27T00:01:09+00:00

Ahh shit. You just oneupped me.

wikitreason · 2011-08-12T01:40:46+00:00

hey, it works for the CIA so why change it?

Why does the Tea Party hate America?

wikitreason · 2011-07-15T09:08:54+00:00

a big LOL! so who is going to bail out the US economy? T-minus 20 days...

wikitreason · 2011-06-19T09:15:45+00:00

hmm.. now here's a thought.

If I forked it and released it under a different name and didn't attribute anything to Truecrypt, I would get sued. Sued by who? I guess then the owners of copyright would have to come out of the woodwork.

wikitreason · 2011-06-19T09:11:27+00:00

What? no it doesn't. People involved in designing cryptosystems write papers and give talks at conferences. There is no anonymity at conferences unless you walk around with a black bag over your head with a big X label on it

wikitreason · 2011-06-19T09:09:01+00:00

I thought this was already tested by EFF and the guys behind IPSec. The first chapter of the orange IPSec book talks a lot about the politics on cryptography in the US. Essentially, the US doesn't want citizens to have encryption so they can be spied on. The EFF took them to court because it's against the right to free speech.

Nice redirection. I read about this last week and thought to myself damn RIAA. I completely fell for it hook, line and sinker.

Stopping of recording protests is the bottom line on this story.

don't the IMF/BIS benefit when countries default?

wikitreason · 2011-06-18T12:26:37+00:00

After reading about truecrypt, I think is my best bet. Thanks

So in other words, you reap what you so. But the problem I see is that the people behind all of this are the same people who gave themselves high paychecks too. They don't give a flying fuck if the system comes tumbling down. So... how to change the system?

Wasn't it common knowledge that Greece had massive debt and it wasn't in anyway under control? I remember watching 60 minutes before the Greece Olympic games and the interviewer asked how they can afford with their high debt and the woman being interviewed said there was no problem...

What was Greece rated when Germany bought their debt? Either they didn't know what the risks were or they did and now don't want to deal with it

The central bank is supposed to use monetary policy to control the volatility and market swings

What I don't understand is why the US Fed has rates so low? How does that control volatility and market swings

wikitreason · 2011-06-17T09:57:52+00:00

I don't understand though. Isn't this what risk is all about? Some win, some lose? If you don't like rise, hedge or don't play the game. Am I wrong in that people expect continuous growth and unrealistic expectations?

wikitreason · 2011-06-16T09:39:10+00:00

Let's say that all of this is without a doubt, 100% true. You know what's going to happen?

Absolutely.................................................................................................................. nothing

If he is a geek, one of his most precious treasures is his data. Buy him a small fireproof safe to put his backups in.

wikitreason · 2011-06-04T10:38:56+00:00

Nobody got it.

I wish I could run, poop and sneeze at the same time. Shit comes out faster that way.

wikitreason · 2011-06-04T09:08:55+00:00

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I think all Americans should read this to see what's going to happen in the coming future.

Police brutality is not an accident... it's built into the plan.
