So I went on to twitter to see if there was anything relevant
for today’s blog, I found one account called Source Fed they have a popular
YouTube channel and blog. The story that I found to be most interesting was one
about WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks has released over 1.7 million documents as part of
WikiLeaks Public Library of US Diplomacy (Plus D).The creator Julian Assange
said that; “The collection covers US involvements in and diplomatic or
intelligence reporting on, every country on Earth. It is the single most
significant body of geopolitical material ever published.” The time period of these documents is from
1973-1976 it has 200,000 records most of them about former US Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger. This is WikiLeaks largest publication. There are over
12,000 documents that are listed no distribution and 9,000 that are listed as Eyes
Only. Julian Assange also posted this about the leaks; “The US administration cannot be trusted to maintain the history of its
interactions with the world. Fortunately, an organization with an unbroken
record in resisting censorship attempts now has a copy.”
I wonder how the government is going to respond but, with so much talk about North Korea this leak might be ignored.
