They claimed there was threats and personal information, but there was nothing of the sort. The undercover police that were photographed on the page were photographing protesters. Rackspace is a US company, but have colocation in the UK where these servers are (err, were) located. So this is about Swiss police, on a French site, on a server in England, taken away by American federal police... can I be the first to say WTF?!

FBI seizes Global Indymedia Servers. Reasons Unknown Current rating: 0
by Sascha Meinrath / NYC IMC
(No verified email address) 07 Oct 2004
(from UC-IMC / Global IMC / Wire Reports): The FBI took the hard drives of Global IMC servers in the USA and the UK. It appears that a court order was issued to Rackspace (Indymedia's service provider with offices in the US and in London) to physically remove the hard drives from Global Indymedia servers (backup servers are now in place). Rackspace was given no time to defend against the order before it was acted upon and turned over the hard drives, both in the US and the UK. The servers hosted numerous local IMCs, including UK Indymedia, Belgium, African imcs, Palestine, UK, Germany, Brasil, Italy, Uruguay, Poland, Belgrade, Portugal and others.

During the Republican Convention, the ISP of the NYC IMC was informed that it was the subject of a Secret Service / FBI investigation into an article submitted to its Open Newswire identifying delegates at the RNC. While the FBI has made it clear to members of the press that the investigation is ongoing, there is not necessarily a connection between events in NYC and the FBI's seizure of the Rackspace servers. Currently, much of the speculation about the reasons for the FBI's move centers around photographs posted to the IMC-Nantes website.

See IMC Press Release
Slashdot Discussion
The FBI's latest anti-free-press actions began at the beginning of October when they visited Indymedia's ISP demanding the removal of identifying information from photographs of undercover police officers that was posted on the Nantes Indymedia website. When asked what the US government was doing requesting the removal of information from a French-run website that contained information about Swiss police actions, the FBI stated that this was a "courtesy" to the Swiss government. The FBI agents stated that no laws had been broken, and no crimes had been committed. However, because no identifying information was posted on the website in question, it was unclear what actions the FBI was requesting.

The article in question is/was posted here:

http://nantes.indymedia.org/article.php3?id_article=3910

On Tuesday October 5th, Indymedia received the following message from Rackspace:

"I apologize for the delay in responding. I have been trying to get a hold of the FBI agent I spoke with before, but haven't been able to at this time. As the request originated with the Swiss police, I can only speculate on what they saw or what they were concerned about. However, at this time, I have received no further communications from either the FBI or the Swiss authorities, so I feel like we can close this this issue."

Today the FBI seized Global Indymedia servers; however it is unclear if this is related to the Nantes issue or is a second FBI concern within the past week.

(14:20) Rackspace has issued a "no comment" response concerning the FBI's actions.

Russians Accept Limitations on Rights

October 6, 2004, 3:28 PM EDT

MOSCOW -- With fear running high after a series of deadly terror attacks, many Russians would agree to significant limitations on their rights and freedoms to ensure security, pollsters and analysts said Wednesday.

Opinion polls in the wake of the stunning attacks that killed more than 430 people in August and September suggest that despite skepticism about President Vladimir Putin's reform, he will have little trouble tightening Kremlin control over the country in the name of unity against terrorism.



"More than half the populace is prepared, under the pretext of the fight against terror, to agree to limitations of rights and freedoms," said Leonid Sedov, senior analyst at the respected Levada Center polling agency.

Feds plan to track every car

Obscure agency working on technology to monitor all vehicles

Posted: October 7, 2004
1:00 a.m. Eastern

© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com

A little-known federal agency is planning a new monitoring program by which the government would track every car on the road by using onboard transceivers.

The agency, the Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office, is part of the Department of Transportation. According to an extensive report in the Charlotte, N.C., Creative Loafing, the agency doesn't respond to public inquiries about its activity.

According to the report, cutting-edge tracking technology will be used by government transportation management centers to monitor every aspect of transportation. Under the plan, not only will movement be monitored but it also will be archived in massive databases for future use.

The paper reports a group of car manufacturers, technology companies and government interests have worked toward implementing the project for 13 years.

States the Creative Loafing report:

"The only way for people to evade the national transportation tracking system they're creating will be to travel on foot. Drive your car, and your every movement could be recorded and archived. The federal government will know the exact route you drove to work, how many times you braked along the way, the precise moment you arrived – and that every other Tuesday you opt to ride the bus.

"They'll know you're due for a transmission repair and that you've neglected to fix the ever-widening crack that resulted from a pebble dinging your windshield."

The agency's website says its purpose is to "use advanced technology to improve the efficiency and safety of our nation's surface transportation system."

Critics believe the program will be used to line the pockets of business interests that stand to gain from the sale of needed technology and that the government will use the data collected to tax drivers on their driving habits.

Though the program has ominous privacy implications, Creative Loafing reports none of the privacy-rights organizations it contacted were aware of the government's plans.

The report states that more than $4 billion in federal tax dollars has already been spent to lay the foundation for the system, which will use GPS technology and other methods to monitor Americans' movements.

The plan includes transceivers, or "onboard units," that will transmit data from each car to the system, the first models of which are expected to be unveiled next spring. By 2010, the paper reported, automakers hope to start installing them in cars. The goal is to equip 57 million vehicles by 2015.

Al-Zarqawi may not be behind Iraq attacks

Intelligence says group too small to do what he claims or is blamed for

By Mohamad BazziNEWSDAY

BEIRUT, Lebanon -- Whenever a car bombing, beheading or other spectacular act of violence takes place in Iraq these days, U.S. officials are quick to blame Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. If he hasn't already taken responsibility himself.

But according to an Arab intelligence assessment, al-Zarqawi is not capable of carrying out the level of attacks in Iraq that he has claimed and that American officials have blamed on him.

JAY - A man responsible for the closing of a state highway in Delaware County for three hours is familiar to the FBI, Undersheriff Dale Eberle said Monday.

A two-mile stretch of State Highway 20, east of Jay, was closed Saturday while an Oklahoma Highway Patrol bomb squad searched the man's car. Authorities had received a report of "possible terrorist activities."

The FBI office in Tulsa was notified, and agents were called to interview the man. He was released after being held for seven hours. The driver, who identified himself as Israeli, was unable to show a passport or visa.

Eberle declined to identify the man since no arrest was made. The FBI received "some hits on his name and said they had dealt with him before," he said.

The man, approximately 40 years old, is married to a U.S. citizen, Eberle said. He did show an Arizona driver's license with a Gentry, Ark., address.

Saturday, the Delaware County sheriff's office received a report that a man stopped at a convenience store near Jay and was asking directions to Oklahoma. He was driving a car with what appeared to be pipe bomb attached to the roof.

Eberle said the "pipe bomb" was a video camera inside tubes taking pictures of the area's surroundings. The highway patrol determined the pipes did not contain explosives, he said.

"Our concern was for the Pensacola Dam and the two watersheds that feed Tulsa," Eberle said.

Eberle said authorities reviewed the videotape, which showed the surroundings from different angles. The video showed nothing specific, he said.

An inventory of the car showed recording devices and tools, Eberle said.

Eberle said the man was in Jay last week asking questions about the community's industry. He also ate at a local diner, but he refused to use a metal fork or a glass because he didn't want to leave his fingerprints, he said.

Chart: Bush Ratings vs. Terror Alerts

I have put together a chart comparing Bush approval numbers to the timeline of terror alerts. (Thanks to Stuart Eugene Thiel for the amazing daily graphics that he prepares, comparing the approval ratings from different polls and media sources.) You can see it by clicking in the graphic below:



There are few things that are quite evident from the chart:

- Whenever his ratings dip, there's a new terror alert.

- Every terror alert is followed by a slight uptick of Bush approval ratings.

- Whenever there are many unfavorable headlines, there's another alert or announcement (distraction effect).

- As we approach the 2004 elections, the number and frequency of terror alerts keeps growing, to the point that they collapse in the graphic. At the same time, Bush ratings are lower than ever.

Update: for the record, we are not claiming that all these alerts are politically motivated. We are sure a considerable amount of these alerts were legit and caused by real and immediate information of potential threats. What is important to note is that many of these "immediate" terror alerts were later on discredited (in some cases they used old data, in other cases the announcements were less immediate and less urgent that we were lead to believe, as the press reported.) Those are the cases that could be interpreted as politically motivated, especially when they seemed to coincide with political news and events unfavorable to the administration.

Moscow schoolchildren will soon receive ID cards bearing a logo of the pro-Kremlin United Russia party.

Every pupil and teacher will receive a plastic card with his or her photo and important personal data. United Russia’s symbol — a walking bear against the backdrop of the Russian flag — and the address of the party headquarters in Moscow will be printed on the reverse side of the card.

The youth wing of the Rodina (Motherland) bloc, too, strongly disapproved of United Russia’s project. “All that will end with total control,” Oleg Bondarenko of Rodina’s youth organization told Ekho.

Gorbachev Calls for New World Order, Expresses Concern about Revival of Nuclear Arms Race

...

Mikhail Gorbachev, the former Soviet leader who ended the Cold War and helped diffuse a nuclear standoff between his country and the United States, called Tuesday for a new world order that will be based on strong adherence to international law.

Gorbachev, speaking to the 91st annual Insurance Leadership Forum at The Greenbrier, also expressed concern that the progress he and President Ronald Reagan (news - web sites) made to eliminate the threat of a nuclear confrontation between the world's two superpowers is being eroded by development of nuclear weapons in other nations.

...

"World order does not mean world government," he said, nor "can you build a new world order on the basis of preemptive strikes."

Also, he said, "leaders of the industrial world should not reject the protests of those who are objecting to globalization" in meeting sites of groups such as the World Bank (news - web sites) or summits of economic leaders from major countries. Any attempt at building the new world order will not succeed "if we ignore poverty in the world," Gorbachev said.

...

"If terrorists gain access to weapons of mass destruction, then our current problems will seem tiny by comparison," he said.

One particular foreign intelligence agency carried out the August 21 grenade attack on Bangladesh Awami League rally, stated the Judicial Probe Committee report prepared by senior judge of Bangladesh High Court Justice Joynul Abedin.

Certain local quarters assisted the foreign intelligence agency in its heinous attack.

The report, however, did not make public the name of the foreign intelligence agency or its country of origin or its Bangladeshi agents.

Although the report was not made public, media lickage stated that the commission observed that the motive behind the grisly attack, which killed 21 people and injured or maimed hundreds of civilians, was ment to destroy Bangladesh's image as a business friendly nation and stop foreign investment here by creating political anarchy.

'Fortress America' focuses on future of siege mentality

By Stephen Lyons, Special for USA TODAY



Imagine a chip implanted in your body that carries all your pertinent information as well as your current body temperature and, of course, your exact location.

Brzezinski's question: How much disruption will the American people tolerate as its government tries to find "the balance between security and liberty"?

Sounds harmless when applied in commerce to track shipments or in the livestock industry to monitor animals.

But when the idea is broached of injecting the chip into political prisoners, as is rumored in China, or into convicted sex offenders, a proposal in this country, then the name of George Orwell quickly surfaces.


Fortress America

By Matthew Brzezinski

Bantam, 256 pp., $25

Matthew Brzezinski explores this high-tech surveillance technology and other new and often frightening frontiers in a post-9/11 USA in his riveting Fortress America.

A siege mentality — a maximum security state similar to Israel — is emerging in the USA, he says.

The manufacture of such sophisticated hardware as the RFID — radio frequency identification — is easy, but moving it into place and solving delicate legal issues before another terrorist attack is the tricky part.

"The technological and legal foundations for blanket surveillance had already been laid in 2003," Brzezinski writes. "All that was lacking was the political and social will to bring all this technological wizardry to bear in the war on terror. It wouldn't happen overnight or without another catastrophic incident, something that upped the ante and put America in the same survival mode on par with Israel: a nuclear detonation, a biological outbreak, a mass casualty event. But if the stakes were high enough, would we be more willing to accept life in a maximum security surveillance state?"

As for RFID, the future is here. Brzezinski writes, "Special Ops forces reportedly had tiny chips injected in their hips on sensitive missions where they could not wear dog tags."

The former foreign correspondent at The Wall Street Journal and the nephew of Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security adviser under President Jimmy Carter, Brzezinski takes readers inside a mock drill with first responders in Denver, to a simulation of an emergency session of the National Security Council and to the inner sanctums of the Department of Homeland Security.

And as the 9/11 Commission reported, Brzezinski confirms that the USA is vulnerable to attacks on its under-protected chemical and natural gas depots.

Readers are asked to contemplate the unthinkable. One doctor tells Brzezinski, "If I were al Qaeda I'd send twenty terrorist martyrs infected with smallpox or pneumonic plague to crisscross the country on as many domestic flights as possible." Brzezinski writes that "75 million people could be infected" within a month's time from the suicide infectors.

At the heart of Brzezinski's solid reporting and evenhanded summaries is this question: How much disruption will the American people tolerate as its government tries to find "the balance between security and liberty"?

OT neni to Kosmodisk? .)

Na internetu se spekuluje o tom, zda měl Bush při diskuzi sluchátko
(4.10.04)

Řada diváků, sledujících duel Bush versus Kerry (aneb zlo versus zlo,) si v televizním záběru všimla podivné vybouleniny na Bushově saku vzadu. Viz foto - klikněte si na odkaz.

Diváci rovněž upozorňují na zámlky v jeho projevu, i když to u Bushe není žádná novinka.

Byl-li Bush opravdu napojen na vnější mozek a dostával v průběhu debaty rozumy do sluchátka, se samozřejmě nikdy nedovíme.

Je mi toho Bushova týmu někdy skoro líto. Udržet loutku živou a vytvářet neustále dojem její inteligence dá zabrat.

There is no such thing, at this date in the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it.

There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print.

I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the street looking for another job.

If I allowed my honest opinion to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.

You know it and I know it.

And what folly is this - toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes.

We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance.

Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men.

We are intellectual prostitutes.”
