    I've noticed some here expressing difficulty finding a good place to host the new Elder's Manual.

    The solution is simple: WikiLeaks

    WikiLeaks is a site that specializes in hosting controversial and secret content that needs to be made public.

    I'm not the most computerate person in the world but I cannot find where to do a search on wikileaks, other than for Iran and war related topics.

    Help please

    I found a tab for 'Submissions', then found it disabled for the moment due to technical repairs it said.

    Still, this is an excellent suggestion. They claim intense encryption to keep anonimity for those who submit documents.

    Yes, they are performing maintenance at this time, but I suspect they will be accepting new submissions shortly.

    Nothing to worry about... just patience.

    Wikileaks might not be a permanent home for "leaked" material.

    Currently, all the older "leaked" material that used to be on the site has been removed, even from the Google search databases and caches!

    "what do you mean by that VM44"

    Do a search on google for "watchtower" by typing the following in the Google search box:

    site:wikileaks.org watchtower

    The search results used to return a link to the wikileaks page where the older 1991 Elder book could be downloaded.

    Now....it is gone!

    ok. I think it could be because of maintainance on the site.

    Here is an interesting and timely news article:

    Iceland turns from banks to freedom of speech

    Computer Server

    Iceland wants companies from around the world to set up their servers there and publish material online without the fear of ruinous lawsuits or censorship. Stephen Beard reports.

    TEXT OF STORY

    STEVE CHIOTAKIS: Iceland has a bold new international money-making plan. But after its last foray into the global marketplace, a financial system that went haywire, should the world be worried?

    Marketplace's Stephen Beard reports.


    STEPHEN BEARD: Iceland does not intend getting into banking again. Just as well. Those banks wound up owing about ten times more than the whole Icelandic economy. No, the country now wants to turn itself into a haven for the digital age.

    BIRGITTA JONSDOTTIR: A haven for freedom of information, freedom of expression and of speech.

    Lawmaker Birgitta Jonsdottir.

    JONSDOTTIR: What we're doing is putting together all the best laws so that one country can set the standard for how we in the future strengthen these rights.

    Iceland wants people from around the world to set up their servers there and publish material online without the fear of ruinous lawsuits or censorship. Icelanders see this as a noble aim and a business opportunity.

    SMARI MCCARTHY: A lot of companies will just want internet hosting services.

    Smari McCarthy is also involved in the project.

    MCCARTHY: Other organizations might have greater needs such as operating offices from here to protect their employees.

    He says the plan could turn Iceland into a refuge for whistle blowers and anyone who wants to expose corporate or official abuses. But Alistair Mullis, Professor of Law at the University of East Anlgia says it'll more likely turn Iceland into a hotbed of libel and intrusiveness.

    ALISTAIR MULLIS: It will make it very difficult to sue people who are publishing defamatory material or material that's private when they are based in Iceland.

    Another critic claims that Iceland will prove as reckless with reputations and with state secrets as it was with other people's money. But Smari McCarthy says Iceland merely wants to learn and profit from the disaster of its banking boom and bust.

    MCARTHY: This is a country that was badly burned by a strong urge by those that are in power and those who own everything to keep the general public un-informed about what they are up to.

    Iceland's information haven could be up and running in a year. This is Stephen Beard for Marketplace.
