Post by: molecular on October 24, 2011, 12:48:39 PM
just tuned in

Assange says, for example, it's a breach of the rights of wikileaks donors to freeze accounts.

They also talk about an attack of American Institutions against European sovereignity.

The video should be available to view after the live session ends.

Dear Donor,

on behalf of the whole WikiLeaks project, we in the Wau-Holland-Stiftung (WHS) want to thank you for your
generous donations in 2010. Your donations were vital to making the historic disclosures of 2010 possible. Without
your help, the WikiLeaks project would not have been able to deliver on making freedom of information a reality.

As you are aware, since December 2010 WikiLeaks has come under a politically motivated attack to cut off
donations and debilitate its financial capabilities; our own foundation is subject to an investigation of its charitable
status by the tax authorities in Germany. The financial blockade has not achieved its goals. You can still financially
support WikiLeaks and help the project withstand this politically motivated attack - and here is how:
http://wikileaks.org/support.

Today, 24th October 2011, WikiLeaks is initiating a campaign against the unlawful and arbitrary blockade imposed
by PayPal, Bank of America, VISA, MasterCard, and Western Union to prevent you and other people like you who
want to donate to the WikiLeaks project and keep it strong. WikiLeaks has initiated litigation proceedings in several
countries.  Your support is more vital than ever. If you would like to learn more about the blockade, visit
http://wikileaks.org/Banking-Blockade.html.

You can join Julian Assange, Kristinn Hrafnsson and Bernd Fix from WHS at the press conference about the
financial blockade against WikiLeaks and WHS via live stream http://www.ustream.tv/channel/frontline-club. The
event will be held in London's Frontline Club at 12:45 (local time) on Monday, 24 October 2011.

Best regards,

Board of directors, Wau-Holland-Stiftung

They still need help - this is a cause worth contributing to so please do help.
