The WikiLeakS.org "uncensorable anonymous whistleblower website" domain name appears to have expired at Dynadot.com
- Is this part of the process transferring it away to another Domain Name Registrar ?
- Is this administrative incompetence by the Wikileaks team in not paying the annual fee of $9.25 on time ?
- Is this incompetence or malice by the Dynadot.com domain name registrar company in not allowing Wikileaks to renew the domain name ?
- Or does this means that another Court injunction has been served (see the Bank Julius Baer court case) ?

Obviously WikiLeaks.org is no longer pointing at the reverse web proxy server front end in Sweden at http://88.80.13.160 or https://88.80.13.160
You should try some of the other "Cover Name" domain names
- US http://88.80.13.160.nyud.net (Coral Content Distribution Network, a third party mirror)
- Sweden http://www.sunshinepress.org
- Latvia http://riga.ax.lt
- Slovakia http://bratislava.iypt.sk
- UK http://wikileaks.org.uk
- Finland http://wikileaks.fi
- Netherlands http://wikileaks.nl
- Tor Hidden Service http://gaddbiwdftapglkq.onion/ (only works if you are using Tor)
Remember that there are no leaked documents on this technical and ethical issues discussion blog here at WikiLeak.org (with the "S")., which is not part of the WikiLeakS.org project, and is not one of their "Cover Names" either.
Update:
The WikiLeakS.org domain name seems to be coming back to again, slowly, but until the DNS propagation is complete, it will still not point to IP address 88.80.13.160 for everybody.

Again this could be resolved by joining the chat and asking whats up.
Looks like things are sorted out.

And by the way, your last claims have again been imprecise and misleading. amongst many other things please be noted that the main download link for a document is still pointing to SSL.
apart from that, you are pointing people to places like hushmail for secure services. you might wanna rethink that. so quit this cheap propaganda trying to spread doubt and confusion and start doing something useful.
@ nothing to worry -
Why would anyone who values their privacy want to use an IRC channel ?
How many people do you expect to be able to find the url for such an IRC channel, when the main domain name no longer points to the right IP address ?
Perhaps you should check your facts and actually read the previous blog entry.
That was no SSL or Tor link, as there is now, on the download pages two days ago, when the previous blog article was written.
You can see the Template revision history at ;
http://wikileaks.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ALeak&diff=36733&oldid=36417
which shows that the SSL and Tor links were only added on the 4th October i.e. today, after the previous style of download links were changed on 26th September.
Why ? Hushmail is still far more secure and anonymous than, say, hotmail or gmail or yahoo mail, or your local ISP's POP3 account.
How about you addressing some of the valid constructive criticisms of the WikiLeakS.org project instead of insulting a potential supporter of the scheme ?
