Move to future history if you all wish, but what would you say do to make the wikileaks concept stronger or more shaking to history? OTL wikileaks was pretty damn strong, but there were other cases and places where this could be a bit stronger. What if instead (or in addition to) say, diplomatic leaks there are a lot more juicy statements or plans released - say an Operation Northwoods plan released?

Or, say that the response and escalation of the cyberwar involved a relatively intact 'Anonymous' group (after Scientology anonymous collapsed and denigrated into civil war due to cultural conflicts - ignore that or whatever to make anon 'strong').

Or, instead of the channers - let's say that a lot more old school or 'new blood' hacker clans get involved in the cyberwar - and that this yberwar is more likje the 1980s tags and games that hackers had with each other on BBS and dial-up systems and messing with phone lines and whatnot.

This is admittedly ASBish, but what about something so nasty in the leaks that it prompts the overthrow of the united states government? Something like say those 'FEMA Camps' theories of the '9/11 was an inside job' theory. What hypothetical action do you think would be enough to prompt a simultaneous revolution against the United States government, or a nasty collapse and reformation of the government (as in all the states declare there needs to be a 'nullification' of the old union, and the states reconstitute their governments and then reconstitute a from scratch federal government.
