Hackers Strike Back to Support WikiLeaks

One of headline on WSJ. Though I am against any form of violence but from bottom of heart I like this news. Honestly, I am kind of against Pay Pal and MasterCard for budging so easily under government threat. It is really shame that these companies despite being based in Silicon Valley participated in these crimes. 

I have decided to shut down my Pay Pal account and Cut down all my master cards in protest. I guess, if we can start some kind of revolution against these companies who are helping to suppress all the truth.. I was looking for pages/sites where we can start something like that. Didn't find anything good. May be it is time to start something like that. Here is the news article:

 

===============

A growing list of organizations and individuals that have tangled with WikiLeaks and its detained founder, Julian Assange, have suffered online attacks, in what appears to be an effort by hackers bent on exacting revenge for the document-leaking website.

The attacks stepped up Wednesday, a day after Mr. Assange was arrested and denied bail in London in connection with sexual-misconduct accusations in Sweden. A range of organizations, including MasterCard Inc., and the Swedish prosecutor's office, reported technical difficulties with their websites that appear to stem from so-called denial of service attacks, in which computers flood a server to prevent it from displaying a Web page.

The attacks in recent days have hit eBay Inc.'s PayPal as well as MasterCard, both of which have pulled services from WikiLeaks in recent days. Also affected: Swiss bank PostFinance. The unit of Swiss Post recently closed Mr. Assange's account, saying he provided a false address in Geneva, failing to meet the bank's requirement of Swiss residency for account holders. While the attacks caused some business disruption, they were mostly annoying rather than crippling.

What defines us?

I was thinking about our own perception about ourselves. What do we think about ourselves? Is it really our own perception or what other people think or tell us. Why can't our brain be simply content with it's own perception. Why it is always seeking other's opinion or perception...

Most of the time we value opinion from the people we love or whom we look at. Nothing wrong about it as long as it doesn't start influencing our own perception. You should listen to every one whom you consider as your own but you decide or act or think what you (or we) think that is right without getting yourself influenced by them,,

Once we start changing our own perception based on others perception we are simply letting our life governed by them and simply lost control of our own life ourselves. We become highly reactive and emotional to someone else. We let others control our life instead our own control.

How can we stop this from happening?? I guess this is real yoga to believe in yourself and stop reacting to what others and society thinks about you or your acts. At the same time if everyone starts thinking like this then I don't know what will happen to our society. By this opinion criminal is as right as any other great leader or person. Ignoring these kind of extreme corner cases... I believe that you need to be really honest and brave to be able to act and define yourself. Honesty and truth to yourself is first stepping stone for bravery and hence first foundation stone to define yourself. and best of all no one else knows better than you yourself about your own honestly and truthfulness...

Since we know so little about our own brain, I think it is this discovery which made all these great men really great. This is never ending thought process but I think this is it for today.

Cheers!!
