Der Wechsel "Info-Junkie./.Eremit" zumindest als eine Art "Info-Fasten" erscheint mir fuer die geistige Gesundheit ebenso hilfreich wie der Fastenzeit-Verzicht auf Fleisch, Zucker, Drogen,... Praktiziert fuer eine "gewisse Zeit" ergibt das eine Art "geistige Entschlackung".

WikiLeaks will fund itself via Flattr, Pirate Bay founder’s startup
By Scott Horton Munich’s Süddeutsche Zeitung takes a look at what makes WikiLeaks tick and finds that it rests on the in-kind contributions of supporters, who tend to be young computer geeks who believe that freedom is threatened by the secrecy in which governments around the world operate, and a tiny handful of cash donations. WikiLeaks aims to collect 460,000 Euros per annum. That would be enough for the five staffers and some of the approximately 900 volunteer helpers to recover some of their costs in the future. Up to this point, not even Assange receives a salary.
Financing WikiLeaks—By Scott Horton (Harper's Magazine)
Assange hatte das Gefühl, dass Medien ihr Interesse verlieren, sobald Daten allgemein zugänglich und kostenlos sind. So versuchte er 2008, ein weiteres geheimes Datenpaket unter Zeitungsverlagen zu versteigern. Anzeige Doch die Auktion von 7000 E-Mails eines früheren Redenschreibers des venezolanischen Präsidenten Hugo Chávez erwies sich als juristisch und organisatorisch zu aufwendig. Es dauerte etwa ein weiteres Jahr, bis Assange ein Geheimpaket mit einem Video aus dem Irak erhielt, von dem er wusste: Das könnte der Scoop werden, der die Aufmerksamkeit für ausreichend Spenden erzeugt. Unter dem Code-Name ProjectB machte sich Assange daran, das Videomaterial zu entschlüsseln, mit Ton zu versehen und auf eine sichere Webseite zu stellen, um es zu veröffentlichen.

While mainstream media struggles to find a balance between free online content, paywalls and subscriptions, Wikileaks is happily experimenting with a new micropayment service, Flattr. Flattr lets organizations set up microdonations on individual blog posts, articles, videos, photos and other media so that users who like the content can give their financial support. And what sets Flattr apart is really its ease-of-use: users don’t have to log in to a larger payment site like Paypal and donate large lump sums – Flattr is a true micro donation platform.

WikiLeaks says funding has been blocked after government blacklisting | Media | The Guardian
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange holds up a copy of the Guardian after thousands of US military documents were leaked and exposed Photograph: Andrew Winning/REUTERS The whistleblowing group WikiLeaks claims that it has had its funding blocked and that it is the victim of financial warfare by the US government. Moneybookers, a British-registered internet payment company that collects WikiLeaks donations, emailed the organisation to say it had closed down its account because it had been put on an official US watchlist and on an Australian government blacklist. The apparent blacklisting came a few days after the Pentagon publicly expressed its anger at WikiLeaks and its founder, Australian citizen Julian Assange , for obtaining thousands of classified military documents about the war in Afghanistan, in one of the US army's biggest leaks of information.WikiLeaks has had to close its submission system while it deals with the amount of material it has accumulated and is facing "serious" financial threats, founder Julian Assange said at the Frontline Club last night. Speaking at a debate following Friday's publication of the Iraq war logs, almost 400,000 military documents relating to the war in Iraq, Assange said the whistleblowing website could no longer fulfil its promise to publish material "in a timely manner". "We make these promises about publishing everything that we receive provided it fits our editorial criteria," he said.

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 07, 2011 - "I hope this book will become one of the unifying documents of our generation"- Julian Assange Canongate Books has acquired world rights (excluding North America) in Julian Assange’s highly anticipated first book. The deal, brokered by Caroline Michel at Peters, Fraser and Dunlop, will see Canongate publish the book in the UK in April 2011.WIKILEAKS internal structure is becoming more of a closed shop than ever. What really is beginning to concern us is the increasing lack of accounting for donations received from internet donors. There is absolutely no accounting in terms of monies received and expenditures. In addition to this, Assange is the only person with direct access to WIKILEAKS funds. The lack of large donations is beginning to expose WIKILEAKS to undesirable political influence.
