Julian Assange now an official enemy of the US
"The U.S. Defense Department has formally declared WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange an enemy on par with al-Qaida, according to documents that an Australian newspaper said Wednesday it had obtained under freedom of information laws." Hilarious.

It *totally* makes sense! It does! Because hosting documents embarrassing to the administration is *exactly* the same as blowing up two large buildings and killing thousands of people. And if you can't see that, then maybe you also don't believe we have always been at war with Eastasia. -- Neca eos omnes. Deus suos agnoscet. -- Arnaud-Amaury, 1209
they spelled al-Qaeda wrong, lol. (non that it matters because it uses ayn which is a letter that no westerner ever can say right.) ....sorry, back to important US bashing. On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 2:19 AM, Tyler Durden <camera_lumina@hotmail.com> wrote:

The pretentious beauty of not having a transliteration standard. Anyway, I won't be convinced that this analogy is government policy until Assange ends up on the SDN list.

Yes, of course. And I found out that "Qaida" transliteration is used a lot, too, so this makes the whole point moot. Back to the point... I really wonder if Sweden would *actually* hand JA over to USA. They did something like that before (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repatriation_of_Ahmed_Agiza_and_Muhammad_al-Zer... ) On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 3:15 AM, Collin Anderson <collin@averysmallbird.com> wrote:

Anyone notice that Julian has published a book entitled "Cypherpunks"? We'll probably be getting a steady stream of hot, young tail soon. Where's Tim May at to send 'em reeling? Julian Assange = King of the Cypherpunks. It's official, because the King of the Anarchy said so. Anyone who can piss of the US Feds that much deserves all praise.

Is he still posting on Usenet? I haven't looked in ages.

I think he's done good. The next generation of whistleblowers will be using a decentralized cryptographic filesystem. It's like trying to take down BitCoin vs. eGold. Now if only journalists weren't that technology challenged. But they'll learn, when their more savvy colleagues keep snatching up the big fat stories from under their noses. Wonder when the first joker will actually implement AP a la Silkroad. Hope not to soon, the authorities are already breathing down our general necks for no damn reason.
