“The Spy Who Shagged Me” – Former Chinese Finance Minister Plus 3 Other Top Chinese Officials Caught in Taiwan Spy “Honeytrap” – Plus MOVIE REMIX

June 27, 2011 By Jacob Andrews 1 Comment

In a scenario worthy of “The Spy Who Shagged Me,” WikiLeaks cables from September 2007 reveal that Chinese Minister of Finance Jin Renquing resigned because he’d been trapped in a romantic ‘honeypot’ with a Taiwanese intelligence operative. In August 2007, when Chinese officials announced announced that Jin Renqing was stepping down, their claim was that “personal reasons” caused his resignation. However according classified US diplomatic cables recently released by WikiLeaks, the Jin Renqing was actually involved romantically with a woman also linked to other prominent Chinese officials. It is alleged that this woman was an operative and “a promiscuous socialite” for the Taiwanese Intelligence services.

The LulzSec Hackers targetting PBS. CyberWars. China hacking Google…again. What??? These are topics many of us struggle to get our arms around. At Wikileaks-Movie.com we are interested in all things Wikileaks and ourselves are working to learn more about the role of hacking and hacktivists in this story.

With this in mind we have attempted to put together our perspective and some resources for your review. Enjoy and please comment and contribute to increase the collective understanding of the hackers, hacktivists and associated concepts and terms.

Wikileaks Movie Scene: Artic Oil & Resource War?…Potential Scene for Wikileaks Movie & Film?

May 22, 2011 By Jacob Andrews Leave a Comment

The Wikileaks Artic Oil and Resource cables highlight a major global issue while setting the stage for some awesome potential Wikileaks movie and film scenes. Movie and film fans are already imagining the movie scenes which will highlight key impacts or milestones emerging from the Wikileaks and Julian Assange story. Diplomatic cables have been released by Wikileaks which bring a key international issue to light: the competition for Artic oil, gas and natural resources by countries including the US, China, Canada and Russia. As polar ice melts due to global warming, massive reserves of natural resources are being exposed, resources which fossil fuel dependent industrialized countries need. The Wikileaks cables bring new detail to this issue relating to resource extraction and the opening of new, strategic shipping routes. Make no mistake that major countries will go to great lengths to assert first rights to this resource base as economic, military and political power is tied to ownership of oil and natural resources. Given this fact, it will be interesting to watch how the Wikileaks movie and film projects will incorporate this topic of the competition for Artic Oil, which in many respects reminds our team at Wikileaks-Movie.com of a suspenseful, espionage-filled and action-packed James Bond movie.
