Resurrecting Wikileaks in Thailand
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.
No offense, this is about the internets!

Magnet links to Wikileaks material

(Magnet links work with most new bittorrent clients, for example Vuze, Transmission.). Please help seeding these files with your clients, even if you are outside of Thailand. Save the links on your computer. Even if this page gets blocked, magnet links can be sent in e-mails, Instant messages, even printed on paper, in order to keep information flowing.

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.

This is a service provided by the WikiCong. We do not approve of blocking the free flow of information. Join us! Join Telecomix! And Support Wikileaks! Please copy all of this page and set it up on several more servers as we are likely to be blocked very soon!

Overdose Awareness Day - August 31st 2010

...a day to acknowledge individual loss and family grief for people who have suffered overdose. 
Tuesday 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.
This year The Salvation Army would like to encourage people to post a tribute to someone lost from an overdose on our website. Tributes will be posted on the web site from the beginning of August 2010. The website will also offer space for particulars of events that are being conducted on the day. Details relating to tributes and community events can be forwarded to us via facsimile on (03) 9536 7778 or via email at access.health@aus.salvationarmy.org

NME: 50 Best New Bands Of 2010

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.
