"Well it does sound like the charges against him are trumped up. The women that say he sexual assaulted them actually hung out with him, threw a party and gave money to him after the alleged incident. Does that sound like something a normal woman would do if that actually happened to her? And the U.S. and some other gov'ts have said they would like to charge him with some sort of anti-gov't crime. So is he in danger? Yes, I would say so.....in danger for telling the truth. Isn't that sad. What kind of message are we sending young people these days? Not to tell the truth?
I think most of what he has exposed is mainly political b.s.......as far as the deep rooted exposes of the U.S. secret ops, like 911, Haarp, Bilderbergs, Soros, Wall Street, JFK, etc.......no I don't think he would be able to access that."
Wikkileaks told the truth about the various shenatigans of the federal government. The US governent had no business arresting the webmaster of Wikkileaks and shuting it down. In my opinion, he is a political prisoner and I feel that Amnesty Int'l should get involved. It shows that our freedoms are being slowly taken away from us on a regular basis, due to corporate bribes to the elected officials. Corruption is running rampant in local, state and possibly federal government. There are even corrupt local officials making back-room deals with organizations like the Portland Business Alliance. By the way, the President has the power to shut down the Internet with a kill switch. We probably could call the President "Barack Herbert Hoover Obama" (yep, here comes the Hoovervilles again - those shacks are almost in style,) This would lead to telecoms losing money. In the event of this, dissenters and activists can use land lines for their phones (the Egyptian gov't cut off cell phone services too), dial-up modems and BBS's (Bulletian Board Systems) again.

"A new Senate bill, sponsored by Senator Joseph Lieberman, proposes to give the president the authority "to seize control of or even shut down portions of the Internet," according to CNET.
The authority granted to the government in the bill, known as the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act (PCNAA), has been likened to an Internet "kill switch."
The bill would require that private companies--such as "broadband providers, search engines, or software firms," CNET explains--"immediately comply with any emergency measure or action" put in place by the Department of Homeland Security, or else face fines.
It would also see the creation of a new agency within the Department of Homeland Security, the National Center for Cybersecurity and Communications (NCCC). Any private company reliant on "the Internet, the telephone system, or any other component of the U.S. 'information infrastructure'" would be "subject to command" by the NCCC, and some would be required to engage in "information sharing" with the agency, says CBS4.
Numerous groups, such as TechAmerica, have criticized the bill, warning of the "potential for absolute power" and expressing reservations about the "unintended consequences that would result from the legislation's regulatory approach."
Liberman recently defended the PCNAA, arguing that it was imperative the president had the ability to "say to an electric company or to say to Verizon, in the national interest, 'There's an attack about to come, and I hereby order you to put a patch on this, or put your network down on this part, or stop accepting any incoming from country A.'"
He added that the bill is necessary for it would reduce the liability of companies that may need to resort to extreme measures in an emergency situation. Companies might have to "do things in a normal business sense you'd be hesitant to do but national security requires you to do," Lieberman explained, adding 'We protect them from that because the action the government is ordering them to take is in national security or economic interest.'
