You have to seperate two things.
First the "rape" allegations. Allegations, not even charges, that were first brought up and dismissed two months ago due to lack of proof. Allegations not of "rape" but consensual intercorse without protection (which is somehow incriminated in sweden).
This is basicaly the bigest manhunt for what ammounts to a broken condom in history. The guys mistake was bedding 2 ladies in 3 days and allowing them to find out about eachother.
The whole matter is hillarious. Now we (atleast in my country) have US ambasadors pointing out that the mane is being accused of a serious crime/rape and that we should keep that in mind and focus on that instead of the leaks. Even Ray Charles can see through that lol.
The other thing is wikileaks credibility. That hasnt been called into question in some 5 years of publishing leaks from all corners of the world. And they leak raw documents which we have no doubt are genuine. So what their motives are is irrelevant as the messenger doesnt really play that big of a role, its the content that is important.
And I find it humorous that the reporter you link to is the same guy that has it in for wikipedia and is a faaaaar liklier candidate to be a "pen for hire" given his history of attacking scientists and global warming.
Attacks on sites like playpal and mastercard... well. Hard to tell whats worse, those, or their buckling to political pressure to deny service to wikileaks to cut off means of people supporting it. Its arbitrary and adds up to an attempt to indirectly censor information and the internet.
Mastercard will hook your donation up with a well known KKK front outfit but not with wikileaks. What. The. Frack. Lol?
P.S. a must read:
