"Now is a good time to download some history insurance" - Wikileaks documents

[rec]

It looks like something freaking huge is about to be made public by Wikileaks. Really huge.

Today, the USA has been briefing other governments on topics currently unknown, rumored to be what Wikileaks is about to go live with. It will apparently make everything else they've ever exposed pale into absolute insignificance....

In order of Twitter updates, from oldest (top) to latest (bottom), all within the last few hours:

WikiLeaks
NYT briefed the Whitehouse on Monday over Embassy Files: Now we see every tinpot dictator in the world briefed prior to release.

WikiLeaks

Now is a good time to download some "history insurance" https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/572...eaks_insurance

What is "history insurance", you ask?

Wikileaks has a file on their website called "insurance". Nobody really knows what's in it, because it's locked with the highest level of encryption available today. Eventually it will be cracked, but the computer power necessary to solve the encryption is likely decades away, or about equal to the shelf life of the classified documents in question.

There's a lot of speculation, but what most people think is that it's a dead-mans switch, meaning that Wikileaks can mass distribute the passkey if the US government ever gets too close to shutting them down. In the meantime, we all store the 1.4GB file on their behalf.

It's basically the only leverage that Wikileaks has. Either that, or one of the greatest bluffs in history.

[Aegis]

from the sounds of it, it has big potential to fuck up every government

[psyave]

or maybe the documents will screw both sides of government.

People are of course assuming the worst - either a 9/11 or GFC involvement reveal.

I'd be happy with either.

But aliens would be best.

I've always had mixed feelings about Wikileaks on the one hand you get access to information and government secrets which is pretty cool.
On the other hand Information is dangerous if in the hands of the wrong people. What has been learned cannot be unlearned (or can it?) COMING SOON TO WIKILEAKS NUERALIZERS ARE REAL! OMG!
