DEVELOPING: Wikileaks threatens to release "insurance" file code

I am not finding anything on the internet at the moment. Just heard a Fox News report that Wikileaks is preparing to or is posturing to release the password for the insurance file located on their website. Apparently, the DOD and Pentagon have now placed a mandatory ban on all US Military from viewing any wikileaks documents or visiting their website. Link to military ban story

Any further information post in this thread.

Interesting.

I wonder what this file contains?

I love how they have banned members of the U.S military from viewing wikileaks. Are they afraid they'll see something they won't like? As in the horrible horrible truth?

P.S. I like your signature.

From what I've been reading, morale is low in the armed forces, so maybe they are scared that more whistleblowers will come foreward.

In any case, watching how TPTB are reacting I have the strong impression they are panicking!!!

Go wiki leaks, our government is a monopoly on power and wiki leaks is keeping them honest!

War is the pornography of violence. It has a dark beauty, filled with the monstrous and the grotesque.

I think we may have grown up enough of late to see and accept the grotesque over the beauty, the monstrous over the lies - irrespective of whether our 'parental-figures' agree to it or not!!

The dark beauty will be the truth unleashed and our victory will be the laughter of our children.

IF FOX News is excited about something that is against the US military, it's just fishy. I wonder what it is?

Aren't you all a little bit suspicious of this? With the timing and all.

Red Herring thread

No news, no links, no sources.

You should be suspicious, seeing as how this guy has purposely mislead many of you. I'll never trust this guy ever since he released that video of an Apache engaging armed insurgents and claiming it was "collateral murder".

The guy clearly has an agendas and doesn't mind lying to advance it.

When the van pulls up to help the wounded journalist, it gets massacred with 30mm rounds. Killing 3 civilians, and wounding 2 children. That is exactly collateral murder.

I'll take your last point, and redirect it on yourself.

Wow, I didn't know that Reuters journalist are armed... I think they're talking media shield laws a little to literally then!

did we watch the same video? I'm not condemning or condoning as I have never been in a theatre of war and will not pretend to imagine what its like but when a country is at war and pays for it in taxes and blood, the country should see what is happening and not be fed watered down propaganda and a sob story on some soldier who passed away. If we have to hide the reality of war for it being so irrational then perhaps that should tell us something.

Cheers

its hard to say what is in the insurance document, however I'm going to speculate and say that it is possible that the US military has taken out insurance on their possesions such as the men/women on the front lines.
maybe they are cashing in on all the deaths that are occuring in Iraq and Afghanistan......my 2 cents

That makes me wonder, I remember watching a documentary where big companies had taken insurance out on their employees then seemingly on purpose put them in dangerous roles and got large payouts when the inevitable happened. The victims families done some serious investigating and found out a lot about it, must have been heartbreaking for them.

The story you linked to seems to say nothing whatsoever about Wikileaks threatening to release the insurance code for their file. Its kind of annoying to me that you said that when it does not seem to be true.

reply to post by nickrick


Would it even be possible to for them to do that?

......Access to Wikileaks has been banned across the entire U.S. Military in what seems to be a bid to stop any further information being leaked.

It doesn’t look like much attention is being paid to the ban as the e-mail announcing the action has been leaked to the Air Warriors forum. It included the following:

Yesterday, the media released information regarding a large number of documents containing U.S. national security information posted on a publicly available website called WikiLeaks. I understand it was first reported in the New York Times yesterday at www.nytimes.com... The White House then issued a statement available at www.whitehouse.gov...…ones-wikileaks. Personnel are reminded not to confirm nor deny information contained on the website. In addition, personnel should not access the WikiLeaks website on government owned systems, in order to avoid a proliferation of potential electronic spillages (ES).

Further requests and reminders have been issued such as this one sent to personnel in the Navy:

There has been rumor that the information is no longer classified since it resides in the public domain. This is NOT true.

and this one by the Marine Corps:

USMC Personnel (Marines/Civilians/Contractors) are hereby cautioned and directed to NOT access the WIKILEAKS website from a personally owned, publically owned or US Government computer system.

In addition, and in what can only be seen as a futile request, the Pentagon Spokesman Geoff Morrell gave a briefing asking that Wikileaks return all documents and remove them from their site

hahahahaha
awesome.
good stuff man, thanks!!
hahahaha

The file was put up there as a threat against those who have said
they plan to arrest and black bag the wikileaks leadership.

If they do this that file is the price the US will pay for hauling
off the wikileaks ppl to a place like camp bondsteel.

If GMTO is closed places like bond steel will just take its place
as they already act in much the same role.

Smoke and mirrors to keep the public chasing their own tail.

I think the US government is arrogant enough to go after them,
and I am looking forward to finding out what is in the
"Insurance" file 2nd hand from some other country.

I say 2nd hand from some other country because I bet it will
get Obama to cut net access here, and 2nd hand is the only
way ppl in the US will see it.

The setup of the internet kill switch was for a scenario like this.

The 1st amendment is hovering over the toilet.

i would like too see the code released, it is time to turn the light on and see what has been kept i the dark, the mil has way to many hush hush files that the public should know.

We should be able to see first hand what a 50 cal does to the human body, the pools of blood left from a m16 or an ak47, and see witch has more effect, so we the people, can and will understand what warfare is truly like.

We need field feed video like there was back in 66-75, and i am tired of the egg shell, soft shoe tap dance, "oh let's not go after them" type attitude.

We need to win and the only way to win is kick @$$ war is hell, and hell is what war is.

I just get at the wimp-out leader ship we have, some times we either go in full bore or we say you can do this but not that, we trained you this way but we want you to fight that way????

Hell if that is the case just send in the UN.

Any links yet about Wikileaks supposedly threatening to release the file code?
