while Assange is currently busy with driving the name of Wikileaks down and further down into endless Bullshit, Appelbaum gives an interesting keynote at the  Chaos Computer Club yearly convention – the 29c3 (29th convention of c3)

It’s definitely worth to take a look at Appelbaum’s keynote while not forgetting to keep an eye on a certain twitter account and to ask why the heck the person with access to that WL account is building situations that, without adressing the issues he creates himself, have to make people if ever having been in contact with WL one day to be ashamed to ever have spoken with the tweeting guy with access. (Which is btw the reason why we avoided to place this post in our “about Wikileaks” category.)

Here is the keynote – however, Jacob: your sentence “Being associated with Wikileaks is…” – is simply a little bit too simple. In light of the BS visible on the screenshots linked in the first text line above. Cui bono works both ways – cui bono is a once working network falling apart – and cui bono is, in light of the BS we see, the current progress of it into the direction deep down up to minus Mount Everest.

Anyway, here is the keynote. One click away from the screenshot.

Meike Laaff in the taz on Dec 28, 2012: CCC-KONGRESS IN HAMBURG – Freiheit für Bits und Bytes – Auf ihrem Jahrestreffen verlangen die Netzaktivisten des Chaos Computer Clubs, dass die Hacker-Szene politischer werden soll. <– err Meike: as “political” as the current “professional” in the WL twitter account? Disagree, then! More ppl however with some political, at least SOME political awareness might be needed definitely. However: how would that have helped on March 7th? The guy there is a total jerk, does anybody believe that he would have deleted that Linktweet to the Swedish right wing extremist “Fria Tider” if being hinted at it by more people of his hacker gang in time? Or that the WL ppl would have cared to make it clear to rixstep that this page cannot be linked as long as the BS is on the page? Or cared to get the link there on the official support page deleted? Deleted in case getting a hint in time? Forget that, he would have taken the same tweet and tweet it just 10 another times – just like he did with the rixstep link***. Do you see any changes on the rixstep page or on the support page? They received first hints about it weeks ago! This shit is held there deliberately. Plus, it’s just simply… how long can you treat a guy just as a totally brainless hacker with no clue who stucked in the age of 5 years? Claiming these tweets were ups glitches, overlooked? Doubt that, simply doubt that, it’s a bit too much at once. In front of the entire public – visible clearly, seriously… no way to call that a “just” another error, “just” another fail.

*** please note that JA has proven us right on this one. On January 5, 2013, right in the middle of a troll girlie groupies’ panic regarding an arrest hoax, he used the time to tweet the tenth tweet to Fria Tider. This tenth tweetlink is especially disgusting due to the tactics used – it was tweeted right in the middle of the hoax panic, so it was regarded as a ‘life sign’ tweet by many followers – and of course retweeted even more broadly. This tenth tweet to the right wing extremist newspaper tweeted by the official Wikileaks twitter account received over 70 retweets until the end of the day on January 5. On January 7, the tweet counted 90 retweets.

Doch zurück zu Appelbaum und der Keynote (dem Grundsatzreferat, Mark-Twain-Witze hin oder her):

Süddeutsche, 30. Dezember: “Elite im Bällebad” (lustigerweise unter “Kultur”, nicht unter “Netzwelt” abgelegt)

Zeit: Aufruf zum Widerstand gegen den Überwachungsstaat (27.12.2012)

Und einen kleinen Seitenblicksprung zurück – zu den hiesigen Verhältnissen: Berliner Sitz der Top-Spione – BND-Neubau kommt später und wird teurer (tagesspiegel.de – 25. Juni 2012) – und, noch weiter ins Inland und zu Inlandsthemen rückend: mitten in der scheinbar heiß laufenden Aufarbeitung der NSU-Terrorserie (Sie erinnern sich, das war die “Aufarbeitung” mit den “Ups, Schredder!“-Zufällen) – mittendrin vermisst ein Herr Friedrich was? Genau, ein Anti-Terror-Zentrum, das unsägliche Lücken schließen soll. Lücken? Etwa Dokumentlücken, verursacht durch “Ups, Schredder!”-Zufälle? Nein ach was – um ganz andere Lücken  geht es ihm, dem Friedrich. Um die Lücken aus seinen Träumen. – Sie glauben, Friedrich träumt von schweizer-Käse-Löchern und dem, was in ihnen so verschwindet? Ach was, für Schwarzgeldbagatellen hat ein Friedrich doch keine Zeit. Wenn ein Friedrich von Löchern träumt, dann geht es da um Socken, und zwar rote – weil gegen Linksextremisten wird ja nichts unternommen in diesem Land. — Nun, und wie steht’s beim Verfassungsschutz? Hamburg meldet am 2. Januar: im Westen nichts Neues beim VS, der Hauptfeind steht links, wo sollte er auch sonst stehen, und das Verfassungsschutz-“Portal gegen Rechtsextremismus” sieht aus… nun, schauen Sie sich das nach dem Klick am besten selbst an.

Sie wird auf der Internetseite der Kunst-Akademie zur Schau gestellt – in einer Art Manifest der “nationalen Künstler”. Es richtet sich gegen die angeblichen Lügen der linksliberalen ungarischen Intelligenzija, die vom Westen aus gegen Ungarn hetze. …” – Deutschlandfunk: Die “Orbanisierung” der ungarischen Kultur – Überall werden Rechtsnational-Konservative in Führungspositionen gehievt)
