Hacking Effort Catches Facebook and Twitter in Crossfire

December 8, 2010 by element115

Governments trying to control the flow of information have found it difficult to block people from voicing their concerns or setting up meetings through the sites.

Marcia Hofmann, a lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said, “Any Internet user who cares about free speech or has a controversial or unpopular message should be concerned about the fact that intermediaries might not let them express it.”

WikiLeaks 'struck a deal with Israel' over diplomatic cables leaks ???

by element115

We should obviously all support WikiLeaks and its founder and spokesperson, Julian Assange, who has just been arrested in Britain, in this dirty war by states around the globe against transparency and openness. But in the world of politics, sadly, things are never as innocent as they appear. According to new revelations, Assange had allegedly struck a deal with Israel before the recent 'cable gate', which may explain why the leaks “were good for Israel,” as the Israeli prime minister put it.

Hackers Avenge WikiLeaks Leader with 'Operation Payback'

by element115

A group of hackers have launched an online assault on businesses that have cut ties with WikiLeaks, in an apparent revenge attack for the arrest of the organization's leader, Julian Assange.

A group calling itself "Anonymous" has claimed responsibility for shutting down the MasterCard website Wednesday as part of "Operation Payback." The credit card company announced Monday it would not process donations to WikiLeaks which is under political pressure for publishing classified U.S. diplomatic cables.

The hackers, or "hacktivists", have also targeted the Swiss bank PostFinance, which had closed Julian Assange's bank account.

Ontario Ombudsman slams G20 ‘secret’ law, calling it unconstitutional and likely illegal

The secretive provincial law relating to Toronto's G20 security fence was likely illegal and unconstitutional, gave police “extravagant” powers and “should never have been enacted,” Ontario Ombudsman André Marin found in a report released Tuesday.

The report also found widespread misapplication of the law, with police stopping, searching and arresting people passing well outside the area to which it applied.

Authorities deliberately kept the public in the dark on the law, Mr. Marin told reporters, in what he called “the most massive compromise of civil liberties in Canadian history” and “amounted to martial law in Toronto.”

WikiLeaks cables claim Vladimir Putin has secret wealth hidden abroad

Putin refused to install a strong successor when he stepped down as president in 2008 because he was afraid he could become the target of "law enforcement investigations".

"...Putin understands that under the system he has created there is no real rule of law and that at any time anyone can be arrested or businesses destroyed."

The opposition leader's predictions were spot on. Putin spurned Ivanov and picked the weaker Dmitry Medvedev, who duly became Russia's president in May 2008, and now, according to further leaked US cables, plays "Robin to Putin's Batman".

WHAT IS GOING ON ????????

by element115

The drumbeat of an approaching war with Iran reverberates through U.S. diplomatic documents leaked by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.

...the WikiLeak’s trove of stolen U.S. diplomatic cables shows, in unprecedented ways, the growing pressures being put on Washington to find a military solution to Iran’s growing nuclear threat.

Iran’s nuclear program “must be stopped . . . by whatever means necessary.”

...“the U.S. will not be able to avoid a military conflict with Iran, if it is serious in its intention to prevent Tehran from achieving a nuclear weapons capability.”

Arab states simply look the other way, if Israel finally decides to launch a preemptive military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Saudi Arabia and Jordan have already cut secret deals with Israel.

Israeli pilots are also said to have conducted bombing-run drills in the Negev desert.

Israel staged a full dress rehearsal for a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

U.S. officials believe Israel is capable of staging a raid single-handed.

...“a different world” in four to five years.

Israel: "See, we've told you. And now let us attack."

Sick. I feel sick.
We are probably standing on the edge of huge tragedy.

How 250,000 US embassy cables were leaked

by element115

The biggest intelligence leak in history !!!

What will emerge in the days and weeks ahead is an unprecedented picture of secret diplomacy as conducted by the planet's sole superpower. There are 251,287 dispatches in all, from more than 250 US embassies and consulates. They reveal how the US deals with both its allies and its enemies – negotiating, pressuring and sometimes brusquely denigrating foreign leaders, all behind the firewalls of ciphers and secrecy classifications that diplomats assume to be secure. The leaked cables range up to the "SECRET NOFORN" level, which means they are meant never to be shown to non-US citizens.

As well as conventional political analyses, some of the cables contain detailed accounts of corruption by foreign regimes, as well as intelligence on undercover arms shipments, human trafficking and sanction-busting efforts by would-be nuclear states

The first Black president rules very much like the last white president, and “the absence of outrage directed in the right direction makes us more endangered now than in the days when Bush occupied the White House.”

These are the “users” and “takers” who live their lives, some invisible, some media darlings, some famous heroes as portrayed by their friends in the media, their fellow thugs. This is the world’s greatest terrorist organization, the threat to, not only world security but the lives and freedom of the people of the world.

Among nations considered to be friendly to Washington, Israel leads all others in its active espionage directed against American companies and the Defense Department. It also dominates two commercial sectors that enable it to extend its reach inside America’s domestic infrastructure: airline and telecommunications security. Israel is believed to have the ability to monitor nearly all phone records originating in the United States, while numerous Israeli air-travel security companies are known to act as the local Mossad stations.
