Contact

If you need help using Tor you can contact WikiLeaks for assistance in setting it up using our simple webchat available at: https://wikileaks.org/talk

If you can use Tor, but need to contact WikiLeaks for other reasons use our secured webchat available at http://wlchatc3pjwpli5r.onion

We recommend contacting us over Tor if you can.

Tor

Tor is an encrypted anonymising network that makes it harder to intercept internet communications, or see where communications are coming from or going to.

In order to use the WikiLeaks public submission system as detailed above you can download the Tor Browser Bundle, which is a Firefox-like browser available for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux and pre-configured to connect using the anonymising system Tor.

Tails

If you are at high risk and you have the capacity to do so, you can also access the submission system through a secure operating system called Tails. Tails is an operating system launched from a USB stick or a DVD that aim to leaves no traces when the computer is shut down after use and automatically routes your internet traffic through Tor. Tails will require you to have either a USB stick or a DVD at least 4GB big and a laptop or desktop computer.

Tips

Our submission system works hard to preserve your anonymity, but we recommend you also take some of your own precautions. Please review these basic guidelines.

1. Contact us if you have specific problems

If you have a very large submission, or a submission with a complex format, or are a high-risk source, please contact us. In our experience it is always possible to find a custom solution for even the most seemingly difficult situations.

2. What computer to use

If the computer you are uploading from could subsequently be audited in an investigation, consider using a computer that is not easily tied to you. Technical users can also use Tails to help ensure you do not leave any records of your submission on the computer.

3. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

1. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

2. Act normal

If you are a high-risk source, avoid saying anything or doing anything after submitting which might promote suspicion. In particular, you should try to stick to your normal routine and behaviour.

3. Remove traces of your submission

If you are a high-risk source and the computer you prepared your submission on, or uploaded it from, could subsequently be audited in an investigation, we recommend that you format and dispose of the computer hard drive and any other storage media you used.

In particular, hard drives retain data after formatting which may be visible to a digital forensics team and flash media (USB sticks, memory cards and SSD drives) retain data even after a secure erasure. If you used flash media to store sensitive data, it is important to destroy the media.

If you do this and are a high-risk source you should make sure there are no traces of the clean-up, since such traces themselves may draw suspicion.

4. If you face legal action

If a legal action is brought against you as a result of your submission, there are organisations that may help you. The Courage Foundation is an international organisation dedicated to the protection of journalistic sources. You can find more details at https://www.couragefound.org.

WikiLeaks publishes documents of political or historical importance that are censored or otherwise suppressed. We specialise in strategic global publishing and large archives.

The following is the address of our secure site where you can anonymously upload your documents to WikiLeaks editors. You can only access this submissions system through Tor. (See our Tor tab for more information.) We also advise you to read our tips for sources before submitting.

If you cannot use Tor, or your submission is very large, or you have specific requirements, WikiLeaks provides several alternative methods. Contact us to discuss how to proceed.


Talk:Transparency after the Turks and Caicos Islands scandal

From WikiLeaks

Jump to: navigation, search

Shaun Malcolm of TCI Journal is incorrect in his interpretation of what happened in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Mr. Malcolm appears to have respect for Law on this occasion. Let's share the facts as laid down by Chief Justice Gordon Ward's recent rulings. Judge Ward is the same Judge who has ruled a number of times against attorneys who wished to prevent the public from hearing about the proceedings. Justice Ward ruled a number of times that the public had a right to know what was occurring in their very own Supreme Court. So, he must be a respectful Judge, and respected by Shaun Malcolm, if this is any important. Below is the true picture of Chief Justice Gordon Ward’s decisions in the past 2 months. It is not difficult to see why Mr. Malcolm would like to keep them at dark, as he has a very particular agenda, which will be revealed very soon:

On June 18th, 2009 in Action CL 93/09, the Supreme Court of Turks and Caicos Islands decided that any adverse reference to Dr Cem Kinay or his companies should be removed from the Final Report of the Turks and Caicos Islands Commission of Inquiry. Furthermore, the Supreme Court granted a declaration that the Commission’s refusal to remove all adverse references to Dr Kinay from the final Report, and its refusal to recommend non publication in the final Report of any adverse references to him was unlawful.

The Chief Justice then concluded: “I am satisfied that Dr Kinay has not been given a fair hearing ….. He had a legitimate expectation that the Commission would follow its own procedures … and it failed to do so.”

In a passage of his judgment commenting on these facts, the Chief Justice said that the clear and almost total failure of the Commission to follow its own procedures:

“ …was made worse by the fact that it appears to have been a conscious decision by the Commission not to advise Dr Kinay of the allegations. When Dr Kinay took the initiative to write to the Commission, he received no response until after the close of the hearing. The allegations made by counsel to the Commission raised matters which had not been addressed in the hearing and about which no warning had been given to Dr Kinay. His letter to the Commission had been sent in time to allow a response and an opportunity to give evidence but it was apparently ignored. No opportunity or further advice was given to him.”

Early on Saturday July 18th 2009, the Turks and Caicos Commission of Inquiry published a redacted version of Sir Robin Auld’s Final Report. The purpose of redacting the report insofar as it related to Dr. Kinay was to remove adverse references to Dr Kinay and his companies. However, as His Excellency the Governor later acknowledged, it became apparent that it was possible to access the unredacted text and Dr Kinay asked him to take steps to have the Final Report removed from the Commission’s website. Dr Kinay felt obliged to seek and obtain an urgent injunction to prevent further publicity being given to the unredacted report and any further damage to his reputation and business interest. Publication of the report in its unredacted form is a serious matter which has interfered with the administration of justice of these islands. The application for the injunction was supported by the Attorney General

By July 21st, 2009 it had become apparent that the unredacted report was widely available. In response to evidence of that and an application by Turks and Caicos Weekly News and WIV Channel 4 News Dr. Kinay did not seek the continuation of the injunction. It was accepted that Dr. Kinay was an innocent victim of the disclosure of the unredacted report. Those adverse references had been made unfairly. Regrettably they have now been given publicity. That does not make them fair when they are not.

Shaun Malcolm and Transparency

On Monday, July 27, the “editors of the TCI Journal” posted an extensive article documenting what they claim are unfounded attacks on the weblog by Dr Cem Kinay, the developer of Dellis Cay.

Kinay was successful in his initial application to the TCI Supreme Court to have references to himself and the Dellis Cay development redacted from the Final Report of the Commission of Inquiry. However, due to an apparent oversight, it was found that the report in its redacted format could be restored to its original unredacted form by computer users with the knowledge to do so.

The TCI Journal article goes back and forth between the claims of Dr Kinay and the TCI Journal personnel and there appears to be some confusion as to the true identity of writers and editors of the TCI Journal.

What the Journal describes as “the necessary anonymity of some of the Journal’s contributors” has been a point which has drawn attention to the publication in recent months. It is unclear why the editors and contributors to this particular website, with a few exceptions, believe they need to maintain anonymity and they have yet to explain their reasons.

The website ostensibly promotes openness while at the same time keeping the identities of the editors and contributors secret. In a very recent article posted by one of the original and few publicly revealed contributors Shaun Malcolm, he supports transparency.

Another frequent contributor, Richard Berke, who is mentioned in the article, is an American who reports he has been visiting the islands since the mid to late 1980s. Currently, he has been visiting while he has been having a home constructed. Berke claims he is a contractor from California. Berke has claimed on a number of occasions that threats, including death threats, have been forwarded to him via cell phone text messages.

Contributor “Diana de Gara” has been reported by Berke to be a fictitious name and at this time her true identity has never been revealed to the public. It is unknown if she is a TCI national or expatriate.

Shaun Malcolm has been associated with the TCI Journal since it first appeared online briefly in December 2007. Malcolm has been referred to by many of his acquaintances as a political opportunist. He has been active in both political parties and has openly criticised both, with current overtures reportedly being made by him to the British authorities. Malcolm has also claimed he has received threats via text messages.

For the first time, however, a Gurchuran Singh has been identified by the website.

Sources within the TCI have long reported that, in fact, Singh is the singular motivating force behind the Journal and that he has made representations to this effect to numerous persons of note in the TCI.

Numerous articles over the name “editors” or GS and other initials are usually attributed to him.

Singh’s history is incomplete but the following information has been obtained from a variety of sources.

Singh is now 49 or 50 years old and it appears that he was born in India but his family moved to Canada when he was young. His TCI history traced to date places him in Provo in the mid to late 1980s, where he was writing software.

Later, he formed a company known as Norbellis to buy about 17 acres west of the Blue Horizon Resort on Middle Caicos, which was to be a computer lab or think tank business (non- profit). Plans were drawn, TCI Invest and many others were stirred up by it but nothing came of it, as it appeared he had no funding.

Unknown to anyone except the private seller, he did buy 7/10 acres consisting of two lots at Blue Horizon. These are currently in default on a large mortgage owed to Meridian Mortgage of Provo. They are reportedly held by Singh in the name of a firm called Natures Way.

In 1998, Singh founded a company known as IQ Ludorum in the UK to create gaming software to support in-house and online gambling enterprises. Initial success put the firm up to 80 employees with 50 percent of the market by May 2003. Reports relating to Singh and his company’s position as a key supplier facilitating gambling houses and online gambling have been posted over the years.

After the company went public, when it appears Singh raised millions of dollars, the company went downhill. It appears that following a public offering Singh lost stock control and the company fell on hard times. At one point, in an online article, the company was reported to have “blown it” as related to its chance to continue to hold a strong market share.

The board of directors fired Singh in February 2005.

The company is now know as Continuum Payment Solutions and, with Singh gone, has re-emerged as a software entity. It is unknown if Singh still has holdings in that firm.

Singh reportedly resides in Miami with his wife, a TCI national.

Paradoxically, Malcolm, who is said to be very close to the gambling software developer Singh, was part of a pastors’ parade in Provo in 2007 when the church leaders were protesting the expansion of local casinos to allow locals to legally engage in gambling. Observers of the parade claim that at one point Malcolm took over a poster and led the protest parade.

Addition sources about Shaun Malcolm and TCI Journal

Shaun Malcolm is also said to be an insider in a circle of a somewhat dodgy group of developers. In addition to Singh, there is also an underlying developer, a UK national, by the name of David Hartshorn. David Hartshorn was the developer of the Ritz-Carlton on West Caicos which development was stalled in controversy when it lost funding in 2008. New foreign investors have been reported to have resumed funding in October 2009.

It is unclear why Shaun Malcolm is linked to the two developers. Yet Malcolm speaks out in protest, on his website TCI Journal, of certain other developers. Shaun Malcolm appears to have an ax-to-grind with Dellis Cay developer Cem Kinay, Mario Hoffmann, Lord Michael Ashcroft and several others. What could be his purpose for attempting to stall the other developers projects? Shaun Malcolm claims that they bribed Michael Misick, Turks and Caicos' former Premier accused of corruption.
