WikiLeaks now storing files in ‘James Bond’ bunker

WikiLeaks reportedly is storing some of its data in this Swedish bunker, as shown in a YouTube video by Data Center Pulse.

(CNN) — Amazon dumped the controversial site WikiLeaks from its computer servers on Wednesday.

But WikiLeaks, which is known for publishing state secrets, apparently has found a new home for its files: A Cold War bunker, inside a Swedish mountain, that’s been described as fit for a “James Bond” movie.

A company called Bahnhof is hosting the WikiLeaks site from a literal cave inside White Mountain, near Stockholm, Sweden, according to news reports from Forbes, The Associated Press, and the Norwegian news website VG Nett.

The MIT Technology Review, where we spotted this story, describes the situation this way:

“If Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is trying to turn himself into a Bond villain, he’s succeeded: the ongoing distributed denial of service attack against Wikileaks has forced his minions to move the site to a fortified data center encased in a cold war-era, nuke-proof bunker encased in bedrock. Really.”

Forbes has further details about the storage site:

    Assange is apparently an operative for the CIA and the other govt. underground operations. So the leaks were sanctioned.

    And why should a govt. have secrets? They only have secrets because they are doing illegal, corrupt activities. They have brainwashed people with the idea that “they are protecting the people and securing the govt. from the bad guys.” They are the bad guys.

    The truth is a very dangerous weapon to have. They will kill you for the truth….

    This guy’s days are numbered, period. They will make an example of him for anybody behind that is even contemplating the idea.

    Even more resources than is being spent on the hunt for OBL, will be used to shut this guy up. There is no democracy, no freedom of speech, no human rights when you are revealing the dirty backroom secrets of the powers that be. This guy can never feel safe again for whatever remains of the short time of his life.
