Assange has now sent shock waves across India

New Delhi: Indian multi-millionaires are spending sleepless nights as reports said that Wikileaks would be exposing 2000 wealthy people having their unaccounted black money in Swiss Banks. The reports said some 40 Indians are on the list of Julian Assange.

BJP which has been demanding the government to talk to the Swiss government and have the list of Indians with black money in the Swiss banks has reiterated its demand of seizing the black money of Indians and spending it for public use.

Latest reports said that Wikileaks got the details of 2000 from a senior Swiss Bank retired executives. The reports said these 2000 persons could have evaded tax and were also possibly involved in criminal activity.

According to The New York TimesThe New York Times, Rudolf M. Elmer who ran the Caribbean operations of Swiss bank Julius Baer for eight years until he was dismissed in 2002, told the media at a news conference that about 40 companies and ‘Pillars of society’ were among the millionaires being exposed. He however refused to identify any of the individuals or companies. He told the Observer newspaper that those named in the documents come from the US, Britain, Germany, Austria and Asia and from all over. Reports said that Mr. Elmer handed two computer disks to Mr. Assange at the news confirence.

Assange however said it would take some more time for him to process the information and make it public.

France & USA To ban Wikileaks from their servers.

Internet addresses written in Arabic were live on the Internet on Thursday

Earlier talk of giving President Obama the power to shut down the Internet has apparently happened. The U.S. based Internet domain registrar EveryDNS.net has denied Wikileaks the use of the domain .org, widely used by non-profit groups.

Anti-war.com said the domain was effectively shut down because the Wikileaks site had become the victim of attacks. If that is true it means that all that is necessary to do to remove an annoying Web site is to attack it.

Anti-war and others are continuing to provide updated lists of locations where the whistleblower can be found.

This is probably the biggest attack on the Internet since it became a worldwide business, leisure and household tool. Even China didn't try to shut down domains.

The U.S. isn't the only government to attack Wikileaks. France has said it will ban Wikileaks from its servers.

Given the determination of Wikileaks it seems likely they would result to graffiti on city buildings if necessary. The attacks also are drawing support from others for the group of cyberhackers who believe governments have been lying to their people for decades. Some would compare it to non-Jews wearing the Star of David during Nazi roundups.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a group that advocates for freedom of speech on the Internet, noted that the U.S. Constitution does bar "prior restraint," meaning any legal action against someone for publishing something offensive has to come after the act.

EFF noted that Amazon, one of the largest Internet businesses in the world, terminated Wikileaks' use of its servers after U.S. Sen. Joe LiebermanJoe Lieberman's office called them. Lieberman was the first major figure to urge that the U.S. administration be able to black out the Internet during a crisis.

The Obama Administration can argue that it was not involved in the U.S. registrar's decision.
