Are you insane???!!!!!?? Some of the secrets released may cause death and make us vulnerable to our enemies. You must not love your freedom or country.
Wikileaks Mirror Sites, Amazon Boycott
December 4th, 2010 I found this list of mirror sites on the CLG website. Since the government is pressuring groups to shut down Wikileaks, it is time for a thousand flowers of leakage to bloom. We need to water this world with the truth, so that those who make excuses for covering up the facts simply have no place to hide.
Daniel Ellsberg is calling for a boycott of Amazon for caving into pressure from the administration in particular from Joe Biden, when they shut down the Wikileaks site. There is enough censorship in the mainstream media, we don¡¯t need to see the alternative media silenced.

¡°Daniel Ellsberg Calls For Leaks From Amazon Insiders On WikiLeaks Snub
Dec. 3 2010 - 10:19 am By ANDY GREENBERG
There are two very different versions of the story leading up to Amazon¡¯s decision to boot WikiLeaks from its hosting services Wednesday. And Daniel Ellsberg, the leaker of 1971¡¯s iconic Pentagon Papers, knows something about how to find the right one.
In an open letter to Amazon on his website, the former military analyst and antiwar activist called for Amazon employees to come forward with information detailing Amazon¡¯s decision to cut off WikiLeaks as a customer in the midst of the site¡¯s controversial publication of a quarter million secret diplomatic cables.
This would be a good time for Amazon insiders who know and perhaps can document the political pressures that were brought to bear¡ªand the details of the hasty kowtowing by their bosses¡ªto leak that information. They can send it to Wikileaks (now on servers outside the US), to mainstream journalists or bloggers, or perhaps to a site like antiwar.com, which has now appropriately ended its book-purchasing association with Amazon and called a boycott.
I should add that agreenberg (at) forbes.com wouldn¡¯t be a bad place to send those leaks either.
On Thursday night, Amazon defended its decision to cut off WikiLeaks in a blog post, countering claims that it had caved to Senator Lieberman¡¯s political pressure. ¡°There have been reports that a government inquiry prompted us not to serve WikiLeaks any longer,¡± reads the statement. ¡°That is inaccurate.¡±
Amazon¡¯s post goes on to argue that WikiLeaks defied its terms of service by hosting material it didn¡¯t own, and that the material poses a danger to people around the world¨Cit argues that ¡°it is not credible that the extraordinary volume of 250,000 classified documents that WikiLeaks is publishing could have been carefully redacted in such a way as to ensure that they weren¡¯t putting innocent people in jeopardy.¡±
We¡¯ve been running AWS for over four years and have hundreds of thousands of customers storing all kinds of data on AWS. Some of this data is controversial, and that¡¯s perfectly fine. But, when companies or people go about securing and storing large quantities of data that isn¡¯t rightfully theirs, and publishing this data without ensuring it won¡¯t injure others, it¡¯s a violation of our terms of service, and folks need to go operate elsewhere.
Amazon¡¯s statement conflicts with a report from Talking Points Memo that Lieberman¡¯s staff called Amazon to ask that WikiLeaks be removed from its servers, and that the company dutifully called back the next day to say that the whistleblower site had been booted, long before it made a public statement on the issue. Lieberman has gone on to argue that any other companies hosting WIkiLeaks data should be pressured to end their relationship.
Whether Amazon is as politically craven as reports of Lieberman¡¯s influence would imply or simply abiding by its terms of service is a serious issue for the future of free speech¨Cand for the business of cloud-hosted services like Amazon¡¯s. Someone on the inside knows which version of events is true. And perhaps the truth will out.¡±

From Daniel Ellsberg¡¯s site
¡°For the last several years, I¡¯ve been spending over $100 a month on new and used books from Amazon. That¡¯s over. I ask Amazon to terminate immediately my membership in Amazon Prime and my Amazon credit card and account, to delete my contact and credit information from their files and to send me no more notices.¡±

I will add my name to the list. Garyrumor2@yahoo.com. Any info about government efforts to censor the internet would be of interest.
