I was just trying to search wikileaks at google, and guess what? their main domain appears to be down. "www.wikileaks.org" is down. I think government striped their domain name from name server or somehow prevented access to their name server or even worse their site may be under attack. I think thier other mirrors are still operational. I found their facebook account showing some mirrors working directly on IPs.
But what I found interesting was how google's search engine still is able to search them. Just type "wiki leaks" and google searches page that don't have a domain name , but rather a static IP. Strange? well kinda yeah. I mean how the hell they did that? ( might have been the cached pages... don't know for sure). I mean it blows up the SEO right? Or is it just googles own preference to find them cause it is a burning topic?
Is it possible to remove wikileaks from Internet? Well the answer is probebly "nope". Why? Because Internet was designed for this specific purpose. (I know you don't know that. So here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpanet ).
Internet was designed to endure a Nuclear attack. So it even works if some of its portion is blown.
P.S. dismantling Internet would be the only way to bring down wikileaks to dust i guess :)
