    fraudsters and drug smugglers, celebrities and professional athletes.

    Instead of A Chelsea Manning or an Edward Snowden you now know have +400 motherfuckers from different countries who are managing the leaks, a bit harder to target so many people in a coordinated effort. Dont you just love it when people unite together on their own under a common goal? No use of force or coercion, just real change through NAP.
    Its pretty evident that this will have a huge impact in the near future. This whole thing just:

  8. No U.S. names on list -- hopefully that changes

  10. Riiiiiight. District us with the right hand while the left hand does its thing.
    Whenever they release information like this don't y'all wonder what's really going on?
     
  11. A reporter on Twitter said something along the lines of "Just wait, definitely more to come." I guess only 150 of 11.5 million documents were released! Of course there are U.S. names on the list... it's just a matter of who did what. I wouldn't be surprised to see every member of Congress on the list, along with the president.

    Also important is companies on the list, like Haliburton. Could show (see: prove) that the Iraq War was a money venture from the start.

  15. @morange alerted me to reddit (which I hadnt thought of lol) for live updates and a smattering of info, as always gotta keep your hat on straight for the sources

    Creepy to think that right now there's a powerful group of people hiring experts and working really hard to track down and kill the informant

  16. all the info is in the hands of the journalists now so the information should still come out because its too widespread to shut down now, but the hacker him/herself is in serious danger regardless might already be dead to be honest.

  18. So all the files have been transferred from the informant, it's the consortium who's decided to trickle release it?
