Thaileaks
For unknown reasons the Thai Government has closed access to the Wikileaks website. This means that Thai internauts and webizens are not allowed to take part in the current netbased movement of freedom. This is not acceptable. Therefore we make all Thai-related content from the Wikileaks website available for direct download.
You may access the entire Wikileaks site by browsing to wiki.thaileaks.info or use secure connection (you need to accept the certificate) on the https-enabled version.
This is sensitive material, all quoted from Wikileaks. Please note - This is not about disrespecting the Thai State or the Royal family. It is about making a statement for the freedom of information.

How to bypass the blocking filter of Thailand permanently
In order to avoid the oppressive blocking filter, there are several methods that you may use. Here are a few examples and links:
- To use ssh proxies and I2P darknet there are video instructions made by Telecomix here.
- You may use a free VPN service such as AIR VPN.
- Onion routing software such as Tor will allow you to bypass the firewall.

Overdose Awareness Day - August 31st 2010
We are inviting you to participate in Overdose Awareness Day 2010. This year, on the 31st August 2010, we will be remembering those who have died from having suffered overdose as well as those who live with permanent injuries from overdose. The silver badge, which signifies the profound loss of someone cherished, will be available for anyone to wear, whether they wish to show their understanding or to offer condolences to those bearing the burden of grief, or, indeed, to signify their own grief. The badge is a symbol which puts different views and presumptions aside to commemorate the complexity of life and to remember the joy which was given by those who have been lost.
Overdose Awareness Day has a number of aims:
- It hopes to lay bare the stigma associated with drug use.
- To include overdoses that are heroin related, but also overdoses from alcohol, pills and other drugs. The inclusion of all drugs is important and more reflective of the reality of overdose, allowing us to speak more broadly about the issues.
- To provide an opportunity for people to publicly mourn for loved ones, some for the first time, without feeling guilt or shame.
- To include the greatest number of people in Overdose Awareness Day events, and as such, encourages non-denominational involvement.
- To give community members information about the issue of overdose.
- To send a strong message to current and former drug users that they are valued.
- To stimulate discussion about overdose prevention and drug policy.
- To provide basic information on the range of support services that exist in the local community.
- To remind the drug user to be careful.
It is envisaged that after an agency or individuals have obtained the silver badges and other information from The Salvation Army Crisis Services, they will be handed out free to people to maximise the spread of the message.
If you are interested in organising an event your local council, or municipal body, may be able to offer support or co-ordination for you.

Wikileaks 1 VS Pentagon 0
The Pentagon is walking back initial denials that it tried to contact WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, in recent days to discuss still-unreleased secret files from the Afghanistan war. And new details divulged by defense officials suggest their middleman for contacting the website was an obscure lawyer based in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Earlier today, Assange told reporters that he'd "received contact" from the military and he'd "welcome their engagement," adding: "It is always positive for parties to talk to each other." But according to Newsweek:
...spokesmen for both the US Army and the Office of the Secretary of Defense denied that any such contacts had occurred. The office of the Army's general counsel, the military service's chief lawyer, has had "no contact with Julian Assange or any representative of WikiLeaks," said Col. Thomas Collins, an Army spokeman.
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman went on to say that there was no "direct contact with WikiLeaks," and the DOD's only avenue of communicating with the site was "via the media."
That now appears to be untrue. In discussions with reporters later Wednesday at the Pentagon, Whitman clarified the military's position. According to Stars & Stripes DC bureau reporter Kevin Baron: "DOD just released a letter sent on Monday to an indivudual they 'came across' who was 'purporting' to be an atty for WikiLeaks." Whitman told the assembled reporters that the DOD had scheduled a phone conversation at 10 a.m. on Sunday, "but the atty did not show."
That attorney, who was to have spoken with the Pentagon's general counsel (as Assange had claimed earlier), was Timothy J. Matusheski of Hattiesburg, whose firm owns the website MississippiWhistleblower.com. Matusheski didn't return calls from Mother Jones requesting a comment on Wednesday, but a search of public records does show that he filed a Freedom of Information Act Request with the Justice Department as a representative of WikiLeaks (PDF) on March 10, 2009. The request description, which was incomplete on the public register, appears to have been for "Any comunications [sic] Ed Gillespie, White House Counsel to President George W. Bush from June 27, 2007 to Jan. 20, 2009 would have had with the Justice Department on the subject of restoring diplomatic..." The description was cut off at that point.
In further remarks, Whitman maintained that the Pentagon still had no "direct contact" with WikiLeaks, and the department "will not negotiate some 'minimized' or 'sanitized' version of a release by WikiLeaks." Still, according to Baron, the DOD refused to discuss "if investigators talked to this guy," meaning Matusheski, and "also would not explain how the Pentagon 'came across" this man."
Whether or not Matusheski or the Pentagon clarify their links to reporters, today's developments appear to vindicate Assange's most recent claims about hearing from the DOD general counsel. If the Pentagon-WikiLeaks rivalry is a battle for credibility, the upstart website appears to have won the day, at least.

Last Palestinian linked to 1972 Munich massacre dies
Amin al-Hindi disappeared from public life for 22 years following the Munich massacre
A funeral has been held for a Palestinian said to have been involved in the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre in which 11 Israeli athletes died.
The ceremony for Amin al-Hindi was held in Ramallah, with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and senior Palestinian leaders present. He was buried in Gaza.
Mr Hindi, who died aged 70 in Jordan on Tuesday, led the General Intelligence Service under the late Yasser Arafat.
In the 1970s, he was a security officer in the PLO's ruling Fatah movement.
He is alleged to have then also been a member of Black September, a militant offshoot of Fatah behind the Munich attacks.
Two Israelis were killed by the group at the athletes' village, and nine more died in a botched rescue attempt by the German police. A German policeman and five Palestinian gunmen were also killed.
Peace talks
The Palestinian envoy to Jordan, Ata Khairy, said Mr Hindi died of cancer of the liver and pancreas at the King Hussein Medical Centre in Amman.
Mahmoud Abbas was among the Palestinian leaders who attended the funeral
He had slipped into a coma after undergoing surgery last week, Mr Khairy added.
With the death of Mr Hindi, there are not thought to be any more Palestinians linked to the Munich massacre still alive.
He disappeared for 22 years following the attacks, before emerging as the commander of the General Intelligence. He also served as an adviser to the Palestinian delegation during peace talks with Israel in the 1990s.
Last month, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Munich massacre, Mohammed Oudeh - who led Black September under his guerrilla name, Abu Daoud - died in Damascus at the age of 73.
Following the attack, Israel assassinated a number of Palestinians whom it believed were involved. Oudeh survived one attempt to kill him.
David Toop & Max Eastley - New And Rediscovered Musical Instruments
LP released on Eno's Obscure label 1975
Max Eastley: Hydrophone, Metallophone, Centriphone, Aerophone
David Toop: voice, Prepared Electric Guitar, Bowed Chordophone, flute, water
Frank Perry: percussion
Paul Burwell: Bass Drums, Lorry Hub, String Fiddle
Brian Eno: Prepared Bass Guitar, vocals
Hugh Davies: grill harp
Chris Munro: vocals
Phil Jones: vocals
In 1974, David Toop published a book titled 'New/Rediscovered Instruments', a survey of self-build instruments in the UK, including articles on the likes of Hugh Davies, Paul Burwell, Evan Parker, Paul Lytton, David Toop and Max Eastley. From 1972, he ran a BBC radio show co-hosted with Eastley, mixing ethnic music with home made field recordings, a novelty at the time (information above from Toop's book Ocean Of Sound, 1995). 'The Divination Of The Bowhead Whale' is structured by Frank Perry's sparse gong reverberations, the ensemble resuming playing only after the end of a specific gong strike. Perry played percussion on the legendary 1973 Ovary Lodge LP with Keith Tippet. The track also embarks Hugh Davies' grill harp and a bowed guitar. The music sounds like a field recording from a zen garden ceremony. Toop's opening and closing tracks explore the fragility of his hushed falsetto, be it backed by sparse instruments on 'The Chairs Story', or acappela with a few chorus interjections from Eno, Munro and Jones on the finale. Using nature and natural elements as musical source and/or instruments is one of Max Eastley's most striking skills. His self-build hydrophone, for instance, produces a striking banshee-like whining sound, complete with the river stream and wind recording. The comparison with Henry Cowell's 'The Banshee' (1925) and 'The Aeolian Harp' (1923) is interesting (listen here). Besides, there's something gothic and unsettling in the sounds here, not unlike some Walter Scott ghost story. The Elastic Aerophone is a wind-propelled instrument similar to the one featured in the gorgeous video below. The whole LP is quite unique and hard to categorize.
