Wikileaks has released a secret German government report from this year which shows that following the terrorist attacks in the United States on Sep 11, 2001, the German government commissioned an investigation into Stasi support for terrorist groups. Former Stasi officers within the Stasi files commission (BStU) corrupted the investigation into Stasi sponsored terrorist groups such as the West German Red Army Faction (RAF), the group surrounding Ilich Ramírez Sánchez ("Carlos the Jackal"), and the Abu Nidal Group...

Wikileaks has released the entire secret internet censorship lists of Thailand's military Junta together with an analysis. Since the military coup of September 19 last year, the Ministry of Communications & Technology has increased the number of censorsed sites from 2,328 to 11,329. The fifth official order of the coup leader on the day after the coup was to censor the Internet. However, the ICT Minister, Dr. Sitthichai Pokaiyaudom, has been variously quoted in the Thai press making statements that, since coming to office in October 2006 as "Official Censor of the Military Coup", his Ministry has blocked "only two", "five" or "about a dozen" websites. Additionally, on Sep 16 the popular website thaijustice.com was shutdown with this injunction.

Apparently some 600 people or more have gotten sick from 'inhaling gasses' near a crater in a remote location in Peru. The crater is presumed to be a meteorite crash site. Authorities are looking into what could be causing the illnesses. They don't believe it's radiation.

Wikileaks, the website for whistleblowers, has broken one of the world's biggest corruption stories in the international press (Guardian, BBC, Forbes, Sydney Morning Herald). The site has leaked a secret report on looting by ex-president Moi of Kenya — and possibly altered the outcome of an impending national election. Moi has become a key player in political life in Kenya, and is now an essential pillar in President Kibaki's campaign for re-election in December 2007. From the Wikileaks page: 'The suppressed auditor's report reveals that currency worth billions of US dollars was looted from Kenya by President Moi and his associates. The money was laundered across the world and includes properties and shell companies in London, New York and South Africa and even a 10,000 hectare ranch in Australia.'"
