Obama Warns of Covert Corporate Influence >>
If Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is trying to turn himself into a Bond villain, he's succeeded: the ongoing distributed denial of service attack against Wikileaks has forced his minions to move the site to a fortified data center encased in a cold war-era, nuke-proof bunker encased in bedrock. Really.
The host is called Bahnhof, and considering that the attacks against Wikileaks already forced its original host, PRG, to boot the site, and its second host, Amazon.com, to bow to political pressure to do the same, one wonders why Swedish Bahnhof would take on the challenge of hosting a site that will probably be under permanent attack for the foreseeable future.
Unless it's for the PR value: Bahnhof has hosted Wikileaks before. In which case, let the gallery begin.

Looks like a fun place to work, as long as Sweden doesn't suddenly become a hotbed of volcanic activity.
Re: Inside Wikileaks Fortified, Nuke-Proof Bunker
Amazing stuff. Ours was built by an insane military buff who sold his bunker for profit.
. . it completely pales in comparison.

It's in the middle of Stockholm. It wouldn't take a bunker buster fired from an aircraft, That bedrock could be penetrated by a guy with a wheelbarrow walking through the front entrance.
Cool lair though. I'd live in it.

It's more suitable for S_V, who in real life goes under the name of Smaug and has converted many millions of credits he accumulated here into gold coins. Normally, he can be found resting on top of that big pile of his up on the topmost floor of a smoking high-rise just off NYC. The faint screams are those of virgin girls who may or may not (more on that later) be virgins anymore.
Many a brave knight (usually from the government and Fox News) has tried something heroic, but as you can see from the roses growing all around the high-rise, bone meal does more heroic stuff nowadays.
(I water those roses, so you got to go first past me whenever I'm there, but that's not too often. Anyway, all the girls got to go past me first, so you see there's logic to the system.)

Wikileaks is just a government/CIA propaganda spreading machine. It's fake like hollywood. Oooh that Julian Assange is so mysterious. He's always on the run so he can bring us information that the government wants to make public in order to keep people occupied with bullshit. Here's some of Julian's dramatic acting:

Americans eat this shit up and accept it as truth because they are stupid, fat and watch American Idol.

LoL, I was just about to troll a pithy sarcastic comment that was going to sound almost exactly like what you wrote here.
Oh, and Jesse Ventura is a CIA stooge.

Prolly. It's hard to tell what's being spoon fed to us and what's not.
I meant to say that the bunker is pretty cool. Wouldn't mind living in one of those.

Americans are fat and stupid?
Amazing point. Now excuse me while I quietly laugh at your "American Idol" reference.
