I'm not worried about my neighbour having a howitzer. Do you know how much that ammo costs? He's not going to be shooting squirrels with that thing, let me tell you.

The German invasion of Russia (WW2) is a clasic example of what a huge but poorly armed force can accomplish. At the start of the war 90% of the russian soldiers were unarmed, they had no airforce, no tanks, few artillary, and terrible leadership. And they stopped the best equipped and best trained military on the planet.

In many parts of the world, a drug or virus you inject to ensure you only have male children would be worth several years salary. Also a virus that causes infertility, but only against a specific racial group, would be a very desirable biological weapon.

There are 2 ways to handle this: 1-map out everything and figure out what/how everything works, so there are no unexpected results. 2-try stuff out and see what happens. Obviously plan 2 requires a corporation and a 3rd world military dictatorship, as they don't have moral values and human rights laws to block this.

You are assuming they intend to follow legal proceedings, like extradition. The asumption is they intent to abduct him and put him in a secret American prison. They would have difficulty with extradition because he's not an employee of the US Gov and HE didn't break American law to get the secrets, so his posession of American secrets isn't illegal.

In a gun fight, the person who shoots first often wins. The bad men/corrupt police will have their guns out and pointed at you before you know they are there, so they will usually shoot first.

Maybe Wikileaks needs a Facebook page. You send them stuff and they publish where it will be seen.

Many of the Asian countries hate China. And not just "they are spying on me!" hate, this is personal. They joined the TPP trade talks as protection against China, so there is little chance they will join with China any time soon.

A computer virus is copyrightable, just like any other code. What the code is used for has no effect on the copyright status.

Http should prevent code injection, provided the server that handles the http stuff isn't compromised. When the ISP that owns the server is the one doing the injection, the server is compromised.

Publishing on the internet does NOT extinguish your copyright. The author (web page owner) legally requires permission from the (slimeball) corporation to publish their copyrighted material. The author might be able to sue for impersonation (they pretended the stuff they served was from the author), and they (corp) might be liable for defamation (they served up adds on his website without consent and made it look like he (author) was doing it), but they most certainly have the right to block him publishing their code.

I like their rates, waiting for that on Itunes. Oh right, region based prices. Of course once we make a darknet that actually stays dark, we'll all be able to pick and choose where we buy things.

You are suggesting the East India company was small? How about the Hudsons bay corporation? As well the smaller multi-nationals were willing to work together for mutual benefit, example the corporations that staged the American war of independence to protest English taxes.

You don't need all the voters, you just need half to show up at his office. If half the registered voters (in a single riding) show up it means they will vote against him because of this single (fixable) issue, meaning the money (bribes) won't work (get him elected). People keep calling our elected reps stupid, but our actions keep proving they're not.

Letting the corporations run the world as a collection of fiefdoms isn't better than what we have now.
