Wikileaks Website Offline

I was going through my shortcuts checking on what's new and discovered that the Wikileaks website is redirecting to the Godaddy website. I can't say how long this has been doing this or why.
www.wikileaks.com...

Godaddy is the registrar for the Wikileaks domain name.

Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (www.godaddy.com...) Domain Name: WIKILEAKS.COM

Didn't they also close their donation account?

I guess they did.

If you go to wikileaks it says there down for scheduled maintenance.

I hope that they aren't shutting down, we need things like wikileaks to stay around for the sake of truth and freedom of the press.

It says it is down for scheduled maintenance try this link: http://__._/
second line.

WIKILEAKS.COM pushed there luck and the Feds shut them down. It is that simple. This just goes to show they can do just about anything they want to do and there is little if anything that anyone can do about it. WIKILEAKS.COM is dead, killed by TPTB. Some said it could not/ would not happen will guess what, it just did.

I bet that "scheduled maintenance" means having all the hard drives on the servers wiped. I bet if the site does come back it will be only a shadow of what is was before.

I think I read an article early
this week that stated Assange
was claiming the Pentagon was
using financial warfare against
wikileaks. Maybe these 2 are
connected. If the site stays down
longer than 4 hrs, then Houston
we have a problem. Be sure also
to check the IP of the wiki
site when it comes back up
to see there are no gov
re-directs using ICANN.
Also use a trace route
to see what IP's are listed
in the wiki ping. Just
some hints

Maybe it has something to do with the little fact that the website is registered as Wikileaks.org, Not Wikileaks.com

and then everybody wonders why there is no disclosure...
and why there is no independant investigation of 9/11...
and no charges filed about faked foreclosure papers...
and no bankers sent to jail for the massive derivitives fraud..
and no more reporting on the massive BP spill...
and the legal anonymous foriegn millions coming in to influence our elections...
the wealthy are immune and there is not a damn thing that can be done about it. we are now the UNITED CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA, and the wealthy don't take crap from anybody.

As stated in my OP I used a saved shortcut to access the site. I'd saved it after looking up the site a while back. When I marked it there was a wikileaks website on the .com address that had content I expected to find on the site. I didn't know about the .org website.

They are due to dump thousands of leaked documents tomorrow. maybe that is the reason. They could be shoring up their site or have maybe been shut before their deadline.

You can follow them on twitter. They just posted this:

twitter.com...

If im not mistaken, they are planning a huge upload of leaks on Monday the 18th. With their server being in Western Europe, it is almost the wee morning hours of the 18th already. Perhaps the site is doen to facilitate the 400,000 documents rumored to be leaked. Perhaps they were shut down because of this scheduled dump although probably not. Just a few seconds ago via twitter Wikileaks anounned that The Pentagon has preempted some of their dump with documents released through the FOIA.

Dont think this is the case. If you look at their latest twitter post, TPTB that you seem concerned with actually preempted Wikileaks by releasing documents of their own through the Freedom of Information Act.
