    Obama Admin Blacklists Wikileaks, puts on watchlist

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010...ing-is-blocked

    Wikileaks has been blacklisted by the US, and their funding cut as the organization that collects donations cannot do business with Wikileaks due to them being on a US watchlist.


    Assange contacted them to see what the problem was. He got his reply:

    "When I did my regular overview of my customers, I noticed that something was wrong with your account and I emailed our risk and legal department to solve this issue. Below I have copied the answer I received from them:

    'Hi Daniel, you can inform him that initially his account was suspended due to being accessed from a blacklisted IP address. However, following recent publicity and the subsequent addition of the WikiLeaks entity to blacklists in Australia and watchlists in the USA, we have terminated the business relationship.'"





    This sucks man, Wikileaks rocked. Oh well, it's the "Gov controls information you get, and monitors all the information you give" age now, such as life.

    And you laughed at Tom over defending DPRK. They were just ahead of the curve; forward thinkers if you will ;^)
