Spawn of Wikileaks


Note: at the time of this writing OpenLeaks.org's website was still only 'parked'.

It is good to witness a spontaneous order in its early stages. OpenLeaks is 'the buzz' on the net at the moment regarding whistleblowing, but there are other organisations on the web -- less well-known, but those passionate, daring individuals are there.

Whistleblowers mentioned in the Forbes article below:

  1. BalkanLeaks
  2. IndoLeaks
  3. Government Leaks (China) [1][2]

Podcaster par excellence Dan Carlin in his Dec 18, 2010 Common Sense podcast Show 190 (mp3 file -- main rss feed here) delivers an excellent, no make that superlative, commentary on wikileaks when he poses one of many questions "Should government s be afraid of the people?"

The article below from Forbes is an interview with Domscheit-Berg, ex-wikileaker and creator of the the whistleblowing site OpenLeaks.org.
