WikiLeaks, directed by Julian Assange, has
performed an essential service for everyone
concerned with and impacted by the corruption of
government and financial institutions, war, and
the human rights violations carried out under
the global dictatorship of the US.
WikiLeaks’
journalism has rivalled, succeeded, and
superseded the dominant media institutions with
all of their many alliances and compromises with
the US imperial security state. The Zero
Anthropology Project actively supports
WikiLeaks by a number of means: financial
donations; speaking out in defence of
WikiLeaks
in various media interviews; serving as a
press
contact for several years; training students on
accessing and using
WikiLeaks data and
publications; setting up a
WikiLeaks mirror on the openanthropology.org
domain; and, authoring the publications listed
below which were either about
WikiLeaks or based
heavily on information published by
WikiLeaks.
WikiLeaks should not just be celebrated as a
unique and independent support system for
citizens, but needs to be
defended by all means
possible. The listing below differs from the
others in terms of format and that it aims for complete coverage of
all relevant work produced by the ZAP. The date of the last edit here was June
30,
2019.
