I don't know who exactly treats the "Special Relationship" seriously, except maybe the government. To most people I speak to, on most radio programs, etc etc. The "Special Relationship" is permanently encased in quote marks.

Maybe it's one of those things that works if you wish really hard, and the Prime Minister has to keep doing it because no-one else will. Maybe it's because we can't be bothered to learn French so that we can reinstate the Entente Cordiale.

prior to WWI we were known to the Germans as "they make good razor blades" but little else
Not true. Stories from the Old West were pretty big around 1900 in Germany.

Everyone in Britain realises what a joke the "special relationship" is except the government, both current and previous.

If the *chans weren't rotten penises-shells of their former power, it'd be cool to see the english chans fight the chinese (oh, and the japanese *chans too!)

also, wikileaks guy says new cables WILL have UFO related stuff on it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXJUZMMNUpY&feature=player_embedded

EDIT: related as the autistic pothead hacker references this stuff - it's referenced in some leaks too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4PkNPCEnJM&feature=player_embedded

At least *chan had the ability to raid other people/do shit in a more organizer manner than what they do now. Even fucking /i/ raid boards are a remnant of their former self, broken shadows with some factions that consider Anonymous to be 'dead'. What can we do about that!

But all they do is crowd up a forum or game and post pictures of cocks everywhere, or just DDOS. That isn't exactly spectacular. Pretty childish regardless.

Also, Jester is definitely not ex-military.

Up until now, the leaks have arguably been motivated by a desire for more transparent government. This just comes across as deliberately doing research for terrorists.

Currently taking a break from the site. See my user page for more information.

Research for terrorists? What a crock of shit. You could've gotten that info on wikipedia I bet.

The only thing leaks posted was how much the US was worried about it.

And frankly, Terrorists target coffee shops, not gas lines.

What was posted is actually pretty significant Commando. It's essentially stuff the US cares about that is not in protected US territory. That factory in the Congo for instance would be a reasonably accessible target.

Then again I don't see what makes those targets all that important, I think we'll get by just fine with less antivenom for snakebites. The insulin however, is important to many I suppose.

I have doubts about the weight of some of the leaks. Let him release everything if it is as boring as everything else let him be embarassed by his laughable failure to really do anything significant other then severely piss people off. Hell I have a suspicion the so called insurance file is nothing more then stuff we already thought, knew, or believed to begin with.

I am kind of interested in the U.F.O. files. It is always interesting to read about unusual or unexplainable things. I want to see what the government has to say about it. I hope they last long enough to release it.

Who watches the watchmen?

I'm kind of curious if the Caucasian Front has the wherewithal to hit a Siberian target.

Most of that looks like stuff you could find if you just thought about it for a minute. Irritating though, it makes it easier for the dumber groups to find important stuff.

Twitter started censoring Wikileaks. I'm not surprised considering the actions of Paypal, Amazon, and Every DNS.

Anyway, Wikileaks has moved it's server to a underground nuclear bunker in Sweden. And they created a search engine for all the hundreds of cables already published.

Here's an interesting article:

It looks like Sweden is not afraid to stand up to the US when it comes to kidnapping people for proxy torture.

@Tuefel Hunden IV

I'm pretty sure his aim isn't to encourage terrorists or piss people off, mainly just to shake up and promote transparency in governments.

Also the article from the BBC mentions the sites in the cable that aren't in the US are deemed important globally, so the best place for a terror attack would still be the country you aim to terrorise.

By the powers invested in me by tabloid-reading imbeciles, I pronounce you guilty of paedophilia!
