Wikileaks and the U.S. presidential


In a statement posted on its website WikiLeaks has announced that starting from today will start publishing more than 200,000 documents related to the U.S. presidential elections in November.These confidential files are composed of messages contained in the email obtained by the company Stratfor, a major U.S. multinational that specializes in geopolitical and intelligence working for different departments and government agencies. Wikileaks has not specified how it is in possession of files (a total of five million). Last December, however, the site of Stratfor was attacked  by hackers who claimed to recognize the efforts of Anonymous. It is therefore very likely that the emails were obtained during the attack, and then switched to WikiLeaks. Today will be posted 13,000 email that reference Mitt Romney and the Republican Party, relating to the period from 3 January 2011 to 19 December 2011. In the coming days on the site you will find thousands of communications which also affect President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. "The only legitimate government is one that is elected by an informed population.Wikileaks aims to inform the voters of the United States in an impartial manner, "the statement said. As of yesterday, however, have been raised to a lot of criticism because Wikileaks to get the information on the website of this organization, "non-profit" must overcome a page with the video parody of a speech by Barack Obama (entitled "Vote Wikileaks") surrounded by credit cards.Below the video there are a number of options to pay for Wikileaks 15, 25, 50 or 100 dollars.There is no way to overcome this pop-ups and access to documents, therefore, without disabling JavaScript in your browser.
