September 21, 2011 By Jacob Andrews 1 Comment

Since the early days of WikiLeaks, the Julian Assange Autobiography has been much anticipated. Who is Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks? What was the impetus behind WikiLeaks in his own words? The book would allow Assange tell the story of WikiLeaks and his own journey from his direct point of view with little outside or third party interpretation. Now, in a tremendous turn of events, publisher Canongate will release “Julian Assange: The Unauthorised Autobiography.” This Julian Assange Autobiography is being published without consent from the WikiLeaks founder and after after legal, financial and contractual wrangling. “Julian Assange: The Unauthorised Autobiography” will be available September 22nd, 2011.

WikiLeaks Movie & Documentary Film Update- Alex Gibney, The “Dishevelled Columbo” on a Quest for Understanding the WikiLeaks Story

July 23, 2011 By Jacob Andrews 1 Comment

WikiLeaks Movie and documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney was recently interviewed by Karl Quinn of The Sydney Morning Herald. Gibney, who has two films showing at the Melbourne International Film Festival, is on a fascinating trek to understand and convey the “globe girdling” WikiLeaks story. This trek has taken Gibney to Iceland for interviews with Birgitta Jonsdottir, to Magnetic Island, Oklahoma USA and many other locales. Alex Gibney clearly recognizes the hilarity and challenge of his effort as it takes place simultaneously to other WikiLeaks movie and film projects. Branding himself ”a more dishevelled Columbo, shuffling along trying to understand what’s going on,” it is this dogged, detective-like approach to film making that may ensure his WikiLeaks documentary film project stands out in the eyes of history.

“To BCC, Or Not To BCC, That Is The Question” — Ex-WikiLeaks Member James Ball Explores The Human Side of Source Security & Root Causes Leading to Bradley Manning’s Detention

"A Wikileak Orange" ReMix by @exiledsurfer

“To BCC, or not to BCC, that is the question.” In today’s Guardian, former WikiLeaks member James Ball traces the roots of Bradley Manning’s detention to an early email error made by Julian Assange relating to the CC/BCC fields. This seemingly small error, Ball explains, sparked a series of events leading to Bradley Manning’s detention and a host of other implications. This is a very interesting exercise in “connecting the dots” by Ball to explain his point that anonymity and source protection involve much more then technology, encryption and cyber security. To get our own heads around this series of linkages we have attempted to summarize.

“On Censorship, Art and WikiLeaks” by Meltem Arikan

"The Great Wikileaker" ReMix by @exiledsurfer

Censorship is not just about forbidding discussion of certain facts or limiting the freedom of thought. Our very patterns of thought, emotions, and beliefs can be molded in ways beyond our control, both directly and indirectly. Censorship is indirectly imposed through instilling feelings of guilt and fear through the media and institutions of society. For these reasons, censorship is a violation of human rights. Political discourse and artwork have been subjected to censorship in the same ways for thousands of years. There are many examples of censorship imposed on artworks of all kinds.

The WikiLeaks Fundraising & Donations Quest: From a VIP “Lunch with Assange” to “BitCoin Virtual Currency”

June 14, 2011 By Jacob Andrews Leave a Comment

The WikiLeaks fundraising & donations effort continues to evolve just as the Federal Grand Jury investigation of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange swings into gear in Alexandria, Virginia. The fundraising effort by WikiLeaks, which is in need of funds to sustain itself organizationally, includes an exclusive Lunch with Assange eBay auction as well as the use of controversial new Bitcoin virtual currency. With regards to the “Lunch with Assange,” a small group of “Eight admirers of Julian Assange can bid on a 3 hour dinner ‘in one of the best restaurants in London’.” Interested bidders and donors are making bids now at eBay. This is something donors interested in the WikiLeaks cause and looking for time with Assange will appreciate. But what about the menu? Greg Mitchell, as always, has something to say. He says, “What’s on the menu? Should be braised leeks.” At the same time WikiLeaks recently via Twitter today that the organization is now accepting Bitcoin virtual currency donations as a part of the ongoing WikiLeaks fundraising effort. Bitcoins, Andy Greenberg notes, are “a wholly digital and theoretically untraceable currency.” The adoption of Bitcoins by WikiLeaks comes at a moment when this form of virtual currency is both hotly contested and adopted.

CNN’s Wikileaks documentary ‘WikiWars: The Mission of Julian Assange’, is a one-hour special, at 8pm ET. In this documentary, CNN’s Wikileaks documentary ‘WikiWars: The Mission of Julian Assange’, is a one-hour special which aired on June 12, 2011. In this documentary, CNN correspondent Kaj Larsen reports on the ‘unconventional life and mission of the WikiLeaks revealer-in-chief’ Julian Assange. The ‘WikiWars’ documentary came on the heels of the PBS Frontline documentary ‘WikiSecrets’ which prompted howls from many Wikileaks supporters, led Wikileaks to release its own footage and transcript of the original PBS interview with Julian Assange, and was cited as the reason for the LulzSec (or Lulz Boat) hacking of the PBS website in the days following.
