Why WikiLeaks Matters
By Greg Mitchell 2011-01-17
Nearly fifty days have passed since the WikiLeaks document release in late November, this one centering on US diplomatic cables and quickly dubbed "Cablegate." At this writing, not even 3,000 cables from the cache -- which reportedly holds more than 251,000 documents -- have been published by WikiLeaks or, in most cases, by its newspaper partners. It's impossible to know whether everything of prime importance has already emerged in the cherry-picking.

Supporters Wikleaks Plan Attack on American Banking System
By Frank Amptmeijer Washington : DC : USA | Jan 16, 2011
Supporters from the now world famous whistleblower website Wikileaks plan to attack the American banking system. In November Julian Assange announced to release; “hundreds of thousands of documents on a major U.S. banking company in early 2011. Sensitive documents which will expose the bank’s shady practices in an effort to provoke a large-scale investigation on the U.S. banking system.”
Rumors had it that this bank would be the Bank of America, the largest bank in the United States. The Bank of America stopped payments to Wikileads and followed with these actions Mastercard and Paypal. Was the Friday outage due to a viral attack by Wikileaks supporters?

What Does Wikileaks have on Bank of America?
by Mary Bottari on January 14, 2011 - 11:17
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is promising to unleash a cache of secret documents from the hard drive of a U.S. megabank executive. In 2009, he told Computer World that the bank was Bank of America (BofA). In 2010 he told Forbes that the information was significant enough to "take down a bank or two," but that he needed time to lay out the information in a more user-friendly format.
Recent new reports suggest that BofA is now moving into high gear on damage control, creating a "war room" and buying up hundreds of derogatory Internet domain names including BankofAmericaSucks.com and BrianMoynihanblows.com (referring to BofA's Chief Executive Officer).
Before the big banks start calling for Assange’s internment at Guantanamo, the question worth considering is what does Wikileaks have on America’s largest bank?

Assange: Wikileaks timing "no coincidence"
Published on 15 January 2011 - 9:20pm
It is "no coincidence" that Wikileaks have given a Dutch television station access to cables from the US embassy in The Hague while Dutch MPs consider whether or not to back a police training mission to Afghanistan.
In an interview with the NOS, Wikileaks frontman Julian Assange said he believes the Netherlands should make an informed choice about participation in the NATO police training mission.
"MPs are about to vote in parliament and if there is relevant material, it has to come out before they do."
