First Blaumkamf now these guys. SA is apparently blowing up culturally. I’m not sure if they’re serious or parodic but they’re entertaining either way. Plenty of musical quotations from hip hop/electronica/jpop. And no matter what you think we can at least agree their production values are good.
Like wikipedia, they are a nonprofit. Only, instead of collecting the mass knowledge of humans, wikileaks seeks to expose corrupt businesses and governments.
I, unfortunately, am broke. However, I will do what I can, and spread the word around.
I’m sure there are many in goverments and businesses around the world that would love to see this website shuttered because they expose ugly truths that otherwise would not see the light of day. They’ve been involved in some pretty heavy-duty shit.
So, they exposed a lie the US goverment told. They have faced legal challenge after legal challenge, and one of their spokepeople’s houses was raided in Germany. They are considered very dangerous. Knowledge, after all, is power. And power is dangerous to those who jealously hoard their own power over others.
Sounds like the noble thing to do, right? I mean, you’d be world-famous. Your name would reverberate around history, single-handedly putting an end to one of the more brutal dictatorships the world has known. The person who tried to assassinate him, well, she and thousands of others were killed the next day in retribution for the attack.
But.
there also would have been no “Uncle Joe” to drag Russia kicking and screaming into modernity so that they could have the military badassery to kill eight out of every 10 Germans that died in WWII.
You heard what I’m saying, sun? America got the layup in Europe on dub-dub-deuce from the brutal, totalitarian Ruskies. If Russia had disintegrated into warring tribal areas, Germany would have Stalinized them, post-invasion.
propagating the myth that shaking your Polaroid makes it develop faster just doesn’t belong in the future. Seriously though, unless you’re waiting for processing time, why do you want to wait and watch your digital image slowly appear. Is waiting to see the output of might-as-well-be-instantaneous (if you can shake it to make it go faster…) processing some sort of mental luxury I just don’t understand?
