Crowdleaks ScienceLeaks UniLeaks Interview: Daniel Domscheit-Berg presents OpenLeaks » Article » OWNI.eu, Digital Journalism The news has been widely divulged by the press and reported on the web, but OpenLeaks’ launch – or at the very least its official online presence - should be finalised within this week. Presented as an alternative to WikiLeaks, founded by German Daniel Domscheit-Berg – who, under the name Daniel Schmitt, acted as spokesperson for the organization before being fired in September - the new platform is based on the same premise: allowing anonymous informants to provide sensitive information to the media, ensuring their complete safety throughout the whole process. Julian Assange’s former lieutenant agreed to enlighten us about his new project. When will OpenLeaks be operational? Everywhere, I’ve read that the site would be launched on Monday (December 13, ed), but it’s a big word. We officially open the platform, but for now, it’s only to present our project. How many people will be working with you, and how will you operate? For now, we are ten, and the roles are not partitioned.
"Aveugler la conspiration" : dès 2006, la conception de WikiLeaks En 2006, alors qu’il s’apprêtait à lancer WikiLeaks, Julian Assange avait déjà théorisé sur son blog sa conception de la transparence, et l’importance de prendre le contrôle de l’information contre le pouvoir. Extraits de ce manifeste toujours d’actualité. Le blog personnel de Julian Assange, Iq.org, n’est plus en ligne, mais il reste accessible via le site internet Archive. On y trouve notamment un texte daté du 3 décembre 2006, intitulé « De la conspiration comme mode de gouvernance ». Dans ce texte, Julian Assange estime que les régimes politiques « autoritaires » reposent sur des conspirations, et que ces conspirations tirent elles-mêmes leurs forces des informations dont elles disposent. Avec WikiLeaks, Julian Assange est passé à la pratique. Pour changer radicalement le comportement d’un régime, nous devons penser avec clarté et audace, car si nous avons appris une chose, c’est que les régimes ne veulent pas être changés. Des « conspirations » basées sur le secret
israeliLeaks Localeaks USA Ex-WikiLeaks spokesman criticises Assange's gagging order for staff | Media Daniel Domscheit-Berg has condemned Julian Assange for demanding workers for the website sign 'confidentiality agreements'. Photograph: Thomas Peter/Reuters A former WikiLeaks spokesman has condemned Julian Assange for demanding that staff for the whistleblowing website sign a gagging order that imposes a penalty of up to £12m on anyone who breaks it. German activist Daniel Domscheit-Berg said that in imposing the draconian confidentiality agreement on its employees WikiLeaks was behaving too much like the governments and businesses it purports to expose. "WikiLeaks has become what it despises: a repressive organisation, using restrictive contracts to gag its staffers, cultivating intransparency and unaccountability," Domscheit-Berg said in an email to Reuters. Domscheit-Berg, who was once one of Assange's closest associates, said he felt "sorry ... for all those new staffers that had no idea what they were getting into" in working for WikiLeaks.

Often we suffer to read, "But if we believe X then we'll have to Yet just as we feel all hope is lost and we sink back into the miasma, back to the shadow world of ghosts and gods, a miracle arises; everywhere before the direction of self interest is known, people yearn to see where its compass points and then they hunger for truth with passion and beauty and insight.
