Get flash to fully experience Pearltrees
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.

[2010] Wikileaks Cash Flows In, Drips Out | Threat Level

WikiLeaks has received 640,000 euros (U.S. $800,000) through PayPal or bank money transfers* since late December, and spent only 30,000 euros (U.S. $38,000) from that funding, says Hendrik Fulda, vice president of the Berlin-based Wau Holland Foundation.

6 September 2010. Note: While a little bit unusual for Cryptome to dabble in the authenticity racket, the "Wikileaks insiders" are likely imposters fabricated by a person or persons unknown.
Le site spécialisé dans la mise en ligne d'informations sensibles et confidentielles WikiLeaks s'apprête à publier 15.000 nouveaux documents militaires confidentiels sur la guerre en Afghanistan, malgré les avertissements du Pentagone et de la Maison Blanche. S'il a toujours été controversé, WikiLeaks joue sans doute ici la partie la plus importante de son histoire. Et elle n'est pas politique, mais économique.

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.

WikiLeaks , the Sweden-based organisation that publishes anonymous leaks of secret material (most recently 90,000 documents about the War in Afghanistan) has until now, relied on donations to fund its activities. That’s lead to outages when funds became scarce, for whatever reason.
