UPDATE: Amazon’s websites have just come back online. The down time was a good two hours. Twitter is still raging on the issue.
It appears that Wikileaks hacktivists have made good on their threat to take down one of the Internet’s global behemoths. Amazon’s European websites are down and inaccessible, costing the company untold millions on one of the busiest shopping days of the year in the run up to Christmas.
Firing the biggest salvo in what hacktivists have dubbed a new cyber-war, Wikileaks supporters have seemingly exacted revenge for Amazon removing Julian Assange’s website from its cloud network of servers at the behest of Joe Lieberman’s Senate Homeland Security Committee ten days ago.
“Catching you up to speed, it is entirely possible that Anonymous, the 4chan-started “hacking” group could be behind the down time. The group, which has tossed attacks at MasterCard, Visa and PayPal since the arrest of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has claimed in the past that it would target Amazon. It was widely known that Wikileaks was using the Amazon DNS services, and Amazon then pulled the site from the services due to its activities,” reports TheNextWeb.
I was personally trying to buy Christmas presents at around 8pm GMT on Amazon.co.uk. The website became increasingly lethargic before it went down altogether.
Amazon’s websites in France, Germany and Italy are also all offline at time of writing, although Amazon.com is still accessible at the present time.

VISA, PayPal, and Amazon all Pentagon Puppets.
They have all cut off funding to Wikileaks.
I suggest all three should be avoided if possible. They will get what they deserve soon enough anyway though, when the whole financial system of the Western world collapses, which is just a few years away anyway.

Speaking of Pigs, It's No Longer Land of the Free, but More Like The Land Of Lieberman
Boycott Amazon. Critic's of Wikileaks are calling for a boycott of them? LOL. Lord Obama has appointed a "Secrecy Czar." And all the mental midgets of America talk about how they are just so "confused" about Wikileaks. Should they have "so much" power? Give me a break. They are David against the Goliath of the American Military-Industrial-FInancial Complex. Wake up retards and realize that you need transparency and freedom before you have lost everything.
Lieberman Has Power To Shut Down Websites With A Phone Call
From Prison Planet.
Senator Joe Lieberman, the man behind legislation to give President Obama a kill switch for the Internet in the move towards a Chinese-style government controlled world wide web, now has the power to shut down websites with a mere phone call, as was underscored yesterday when Amazon axed Wikileaks from its servers after being pressured to do so by Lieberman’s Senate Homeland Security Committee...
