Wikileaks 'hacked ahead of secret US document release' breaking news

Whistle-blowing website Wikileaks says it is under attack from a computer-hacking operation, ahead of a suspected release of secret US government files.

"We are currently under a mass distributed denial of service attack," it says on its Twitter feed.

Now I’d like to see the scumbags at Wikileaks get “hacked”. They aren’t “whistleblowers”. They are murderers.

I’m angry with WikiLeaks, but I’m FURIOUS with the government apparatus that can take down “entertainment” domains, yet allow WikiLeaks to continue to operate.

It’s just the chicoms trying to make Obama look invasive /s

I don’t think any of us understood what the Kenyan Barry Regime meant when they were talking about “tranparency”. I think this is it. The ‘RATS don’t care how many people die because of this crap.

This document dump is going to be a double-edged sword this time, from what I've read. On one hand, some sniveling little shit is about to possibly put our national security, our diplomnatic ties to allies - and lives - at risk. On the other hand, the rumored damage that these diplomatic communiques might be cause to The Regime - and possibly to Democrats - may be mortal. Like I said, a double-edged sword.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Today, weird stuff is happening to many websites I visit. I got directed into what I think was a secure part of one and several others that I visit were temporarily down.

Could someone be playing around with a ‘kill switch’?

Here is what Dr. Jack Wheeler wrote in one of his recent articles dated 11/3/2010.

The Pentagon is subject to astronomical numbers of attacks every day on its computers. By far the greatest number of them, and the most sophisticated, are from the Chicoms. The DOD's Cyber Defense Team is staffed by amazingly brilliant 25 year-old whiz kids who get burned and bummed out playing nothing but defense. They quit and newbies hired because they can't stand just protecting their goal line and never being allowed to play offense.

"You have no idea what we could do to Chinese military computer systems if my guys were greenlighted to take them down," the leader of one of the cyber teams told me. "We'd teach the Chicoms to never dick with us ever again. We could take down practically the entire Chinese economy if we wanted to. My guys are light years better than theirs - but our hands our tied behind our backs."

So expect a delegation of majority members of the House Armed Forces Committee to pay a visit to the Pentagon early next year and start untying those hands. The message will be: The Chinese must be taught a series of very instructive lessons that cyber-war with the US is a game they will seriously lose.

Fluxnet has taught the Syrians first, and now the Iranians, that all their computers are belong to us.

Our side isn’t only playing Defense.
