re: #271 lawhawk

I don’t think the anti-Semitic links will get the media to engage in further investigations. However, the Russian mob connections might - and it goes back to another possible line of charges against those involved in the leak (Assange, Manning, et al.) that I’ve thought could be applied - RICO charges (whether indictments are handed down here in the US or overseas under similar laws).

If the Russia mob is somehow involved, we’re talking about a criminal enterprise, and the release of information could have been secondary to the mob’s desire to learn about specific information.

Then again, the Russian mob merely be a front for the Russian government in its desire to bamboozle the US foreign policy and diplomatic efforts.

Now, now, let’s not jump from organized cyber-crime to meatworld mafia. There is no connection as of yet. Also, it may have been a mishap on the part of the main WL admins. Note that they redirect(ed) traffic to the mirror but they do not run the mirror:

spamhaus.org

So the person running wikileaks.info (which we repeat is in no way connected with Julian Assange or the real Wikileaks organization)…

Let’s deal with facts only.
