Last thread got 'nomed, and situation has changed, so more discussion is necessary!

Since last time people complained that they had to leave the thread in order to find information (aka they had to Google it, oh the horror!), I will leave a grief synopsis;

- US forced Amazon to drop Wikileaks hosting, and then the hoster of the Wikileaks.org DNS to drop them, and then Paypal and Visa etc to drop the donation vectors. Sweden froze Wikileak's accounts.
- Assange is being held by the British, currently waiting for extradition to Sweden, from the 2 rape charges. The British guards fear for his safety from possible assassination attempts from the US.
- US is looking for anything they can charge Assange with, so they can have him (but they have to move quick).
- Anonymous of course is DDOSing Paypa, Visa, Mastercard, Amazon, etc.
- Other hackers joined in too for the fun of it.
- A splinter faction of Anon is attacking the Anon LOIC control channel, preventing hivemind control.
- Assange says this doesn't change anything, and that Wikileaks is still strong.
- Wikileaks has many redundant servers in many countries that will pop up should their main server, deep in a cold-war bunker carved in to a stone hill, go down.
- Wikileaks 'insurance policy' still looms ominously in the shadows.
- US trying to pretend the Pentagon Papers never existed, and there there is 'no precedence' for Wikileak's actions.


tl;dr: Assange arrested, Anon derping, Wikileaks still legal.
