A truck bearing the name of one of the world's most secretive and famous websites was spotted at Fox News HQ and on the Upper West Side earlier today, and is currently at Union Square for a protest. Clark Stoeckly is an "artivist," who has taken his "WikiLeaks Top Secret Mobile Information Collection Unit around the country. Here's why:
I started the WikiLeaks Top Secret Mobile Information Collection Unit on March 19th during a rally for Bradley Manning at the White House. My goal is to bring awareness to WikiLeaks, protest the detention of Bradley Manning, and make the government and corporations sweat when they look out the window and see me parked in front of their buildings.
Though I am not connected to WikiLeaks, I believe we are all WikiLeaks. I realize that I am not only representing WikiLeaks with this project, but everyone who supports them. I strongly believe that Bradley Manning is a hero and true patriot.
WikiLeaks and its eccentric, smelly founder Julian Assange, have kept governments and corporations around the world on their toes by releasing classified information. But the man who made WikiLeaks a success and international sensation is army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning, who is being held in Fort Leavenworth awaiting charges of "aiding the enemy" and leaking secret information, namely more than 260K cables, 90K intelligence reports and a combat video. He faces life in prison, and possibly execution for his acts.
You can find out where the WikiLeaks truck will be on its Twitter account. Here's a montage that Stoeckly made of the creation of his truck with a speech given by Manning-supporter and famous government-leaker Daniel Ellsberg.
