Thanks, DR +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Open Letter to Amazon.com By Daniel Ellsberg December 5, 2010 - To Customer Service and Jeff Bezos, I'm disgusted by Amazon's cowardice and servility in abruptly terminating its hosting of the Wikileaks website, in the face of threats from Senator Joe Lieberman and other Congressional right-wingers. I want no further association with any company that encourages legislative and executive officials to aspire to China's control of information and deterrence of whistle-blowing. For the last several years, I've been sp ending over $100 a month on new and used books from Amazon. That's over. I have contacted Customer Service to ask Amazon to terminate immediately my membership in Amazon Prime and my Amazon credit card and account, to delete my contact and credit information from their files and to send me no more notices....

"PayPal has permanently restricted the account used by WikiLeaks due to a violation of the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity," reads a statement on PayPal's website. "We've notified the account holder of this action." Most of the over $1 million in contributions WikiLeaks has drawn in the last year have come through its PayPal account, which belongs to the Wau Holland Foundation, a German non-profit group that manages the bulk of WikiLeaks' money. Attempting to donate to Wau Holland though PayPal on Friday night produced the message "This recipient is currently unable to receive money." PayPal's move comes amid mounting U.S. pressure against WikiLeaks over its cache of over 250,000 State Department diplomatic cables. Struggling with denial-of-service attacks on its servers earlier this week, WikiLeaks moved to Amazon's EC2 cloud-based data-storage service, only to be summarily booted off on Wednesday. Then on Thursday its domain-name service provider, EveryDNS, stopped resolving WikiLeaks.org, after the DNS provider was battered by the DoS attacks. There was an element of theater to WikiLeaks' supposed struggles against electronic censorship this week. WikiLeaks kept its domain hosting at EveryDNS even after the company gave WikiLeaks notice that it was pulling the plug. And though WikiLeaks has no shortage of hosting options outside of U.S. influence, founder Julian Assange selected Amazon instead, in what he described Friday as a test of the company's commitment to free speech. The attack on WikiLeaks' money flow, in contrast, is the real deal, and has the potential to genuinely impact the organization. PayPal's public statement doesn't detail the "illegal activity" WikiLeaks promotes, but presumably it's the leaking of classified information. Sometimes such leaks are indeed illegal. And sometimes classified leaks - legal or not - reveal warrantless wiretapping of Americans, secret CIA prison networks,and massive government waste hidden in black budgets. The reasoning PayPal offers for its newfound intolerance for WikiLeaks would seem to apply equally well to the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Flotilla Survivor says Israeli marines boarded unarmed American ship thr...

A passenger ship is sailing in international waters. Hundreds of kilometers from land. On board are unarmed civilians. At 2am, a military helicopter attacks, dropping heavily armed commandos firing their weapons. Some of the passengers grab sticks and marbles, some try to push the attackers away, vainly to try to stave off the overwhelming attack. Many of them are slaughtered, many are wounded. On other much smaller boats, bullets are fired into the wooden hulls, crew and passengers offer no resistance whatever, and are beaten and bruised and in some cases, wounded by rubber bullets. The official story is that the commandos acted in self-defense. The world's pimp media repeats this endlessly. But- the whole world is watching. We are the WITNESSES, and it is our job to make the world watch, so not one human can say "I didn't know" or hide in ignorance, or deny individual responsibility, or evade profound personal complicity. More boats are on the way. The Rachel Corrie is at sea as this is written, and will not turn back. And after her, will be tens and hundreds and thousands more, until the genocidal inhuman blockade is broken. This is just the beginning, and at last, the world is watching.

First Ship Sets Sail For Gaza By Huwaida Arraf 15 May, 2010 http://www.freegaza.org/ London - 14 May 2010 - At 22:45 local time tonight, the MV Rachel Corrie, a 1200-ton cargo ship, part of the eight-vessel Freedom Flotilla, set sail from Ireland on its way to the Mediterranean Sea. Three ships from Turkey and Greece will join her, then sail to Gaza. This past week reports from Israel have indicated that the Israeli authorities will not allow the Freedom Flotilla to reach Gaza with its cargo of much-needed reconstruction material, medical equipment, and school supplies. According to Israeli news sources, clear orders have been issued to prevent the ships from reaching Gaza, even if this necessitates military violence. The Free Gaza Movement, which has launched eight other sea missions to Gaza, confirms that Israel has tried these kinds of threats and intimidation tactics before in order to try to stop the missions before they start. "They have not deterred us before and will not deter us now," said one of the organizers. Ship to Gaza - Sweden, a Freedom Flotilla coalition partner, together with parliamentarian Mehmet Kaplan (Green Party) yesterday asked for an audience with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden, Carl Bildt, to discuss what measures the Swedish government and the European Union will take to protect the Freedom Flotilla's peaceful, humanitarian voyage. Earlier this week during a meeting with the European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza - another coalition partner, Turkish Prime Minister Tayyib Erdogan expressed his support for "breaking the oppressive siege on the Gaza Strip...which is at the top of Turkey's list of priorities." Coalition partners, Ship to Gaza - Greece and the Turkish relief organization IHH, stressed that the ships, passengers, and cargo will be checked at each port of departure, making it clear that we constitute no security threat to Israel. Israel's threats to attack unarmed civilians aboard vessels carrying reconstruction aid are outrageous and indicative of the cruel and violent nature of Israel's policies towards Gaza. The Freedom Flotilla is acting in line with universal principals of human rights and justice in defying a blockade identified as illegal by the UN and other humanitarian organizations. Palestinians in Gaza have a right to the thousands of basic supplies that Israel bans from entering, including cement and schoolbooks, as well as a right to access the outside world. The Freedom Flotilla coalition calls on all signatories to the Fourth Geneva Conventions to pressure Israel to adhere to its obligations under international humanitarian law, to end the lethal blockade on Gaza, and to refrain from attacking this peaceful convoy. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is comprised of: Free Gaza Movement (FG), European Campaign to End the Siege of Gaza (ECESG), Insani Yardim Vakfi (IHH), Ship to Gaza Greece, Ship to Gaza Sweden, and the International Committee to Lift the Siege on Gaza, with hundreds of groups and organizations around the world supporting the effort. Huwaida Arraf is co-founder and director of Free Gaza Movement. www.freegaza.org www.savegaza.eu www.ihh.org.tr www.shiptogaza.gr www.shiptogaza.se +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
