Posted by SpaceNeedle on October 25, 2011

WikiLeaks DonateChristopher Hope reports in the Telegraph:

The whistleblowing website set up by Julian Assange said that it is temporarily suspending publication of leaks to fight a “blockade” by credit card companies.

The refusal to accept donations has cost the website “tens of millions of dollars” in lost funding, the website said.

Mr Assange was due to make the announcement at a press conference in London, and appeal for donations to help flight the blockade.

WikiLeaks said “in order to fight for its survival” it has decided temporarily to stop publishing secret state documents, while it battles the financial blockade through the courts.

In a statement, WikiLeaks said: “In order to ensure our future survival, WikiLeaks is now forced to temporarily suspend its publishing operations and aggressively fundraise in order to fight back against this blockade and its proponents.”

    Hey. The money has got to come from somewhere.  If the corrupt officials get ‘payouts’ all the time I don’t see why Wikileaks can’t bribe the same officials for the ‘dirt’ on everyone.  After all any one that is corrupt is looking to cash in.  Don’t matter who the secrets are going to.  Assange will just have to use cold hard cash or gold.  There is always ways around obstacles.
