WikiLeaks says 'blockade' threatens its existence
2011-10-25
LONDON - WikiLeaks will have to stop publishing secret cables and devote itself to fund-raising if it is unable to end a financial "blockade" by US firms such as Visa and MasterCard by the end of the year, founder Julian Assange said on Monday.

After releasing tens of thousands of confidential US government cables, WikiLeaks would need $3.5 million over the next year to continue operating, Assange said.

Geez, you are underpaid, Fred. There is nothing we can get there that we cannot get here easier.

What would you do with $3.5 Million Dollars, Fred?
I bet you would be far more effective.
You rock dude!
