WikiLeaks Shutdown

Reports indicate that the WikiLeaks site and all its mirror sites are not accessible. It appears the site has been shutdown.

UPDATE: Reuters quotes Senator Lieberman as saying that Amazon.com has ceased hosting services for  theWikiLeaks website.

UPDATE 2: WikiLeaks is backup. It is reporting that it is using its servers in Sweden, following a shutdown of Amazon.com as the primary hosting server.

  1. The main site www.wikileaks.org is indeed down but I have recently been able to access some 'subsites':

    www.cablegate.wikileaks.org

    and

    www.warlogs.wikileaks.org

    These are on specific wikileak dumps.

    There may be others ...

    If these were on Amazon servers then they have been shut down also.

    1984.

    Soon those sites will never have existed.

    Unsites!

  2. The powerful protect their own. The government can't release information on billions sent to Wall Street, then have WikiLeaks show how corrupt one firm is.

  4. This Lieberman guy want's the President to have the power to shut the internet down. This guy is playing with us and the so called WiKiLeaks. The man is a complete joke, a dupe of the elite. See the link.

  5. Amazon has to learn a lesson. I was their customer for many years and spent a hefty dollars their. I can't do much, but I am taking my business somewhere else - let them feel the pain where it's important for them: their profit&loss statements.
