Today, Wikileaks received donations of less than 10 thousand U.S. dollars per month.
Julian said that WikiLeaks has been forced to stop processing jobs of tens of thousands of secret documents that have been received. During this, WikiLeaks receives and publishes secret documents from whistle-blowers and leakers, then released and forwarded to a number of news organizations like The New York Times, Der Spiegel (a German news magazine), and The Guardian (UK newspaper) .
