It starts out with the usual "liberal" outrage against the growing police state, but there is a big twist about halfway through.

A little more complicated. Many ppl- our dd included- only have seizures during sleep, so it's important to have the patient go through several sleep cycles. Our dd has been behaving oddly- we're not sure if it's behavioral or neurological- but with her hx of seizures it's important to find out which.

After chastising a Canadian politician for pushing a bill that would allow the Police full access to private info online, while making it illegal for ISPs to inform customers that their info was accessed - they then reveal just about every single detail (save the names of children) about him, his family, his mistress, the existence of a love child, ect.... and then ask him how he likes it.

In brief: There is a bill (C30) before the Canadian Parliament that would negate the citizen's right to privacy,
making all of their private facts & records available to the police. But the Member who presented the bill has
lied to the public about this.
Anonymous promises to retaliate. Should the bill pass, Members of Parliament who voted for it would soon have all
of their own private records made public.
(At least that's what I got from 1 listen.)

Oh, is that what's going on?

It's kind of sad that public servants think they get to keep private documents and that people have to resort to hacking to force government transparency. Here in Utah they passed some nonsense to protect their emails right on the night before pushing through some other ugly legislation. The constitutional law firms went after them on that one, but it's been unresolved as far as I know. Kinda dropped off the radar even. And then a citizen's petition to create a third party ethics panel also got shot down.

Keep the Shiny side up


Don't know that much about the Canadian legal system, but it seems that the police there should be able to get warrants for stuff they want to get from ISPs.

That being said, info the police get, with a warrant or not, is probably not very likely to be widely disseminated to the public, unlike what Anonymous did.

Then again, there's pretty much no way to confirm the accusations Anonymous makes. They could be making this stuff up out of whole cloth.

And outing someone's possible lover but then saying you're not going to name her four year old child is kind'a lame, because if they tell you who the woman is, it's not hard to figure which child it is.

of 'hackers on steroids,' 'domestic terrorists,' and collectively an 'Internet hate machine.'"

The English language edition of Al Jazeera, "This is the future, whether one approves or not, and the failure on
the part of governments and media alike to understand, and contend with the rapid change now afoot, ought to remind
everyone concerned why it is that this movement is necessary in the first place."

December 2010 thru 2011, there have been a numer of arrests in several countries.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


"... making all of their private facts & records available to the police ..."

I can't play the video here, but no one has mentioned anything about warrants. If the Canadian system is similar to the US, in order to get a warrant you have to demonstrate probable cause. If they are seeking to do wholesale internet trolling sans warrant, then they can't demonstrate probable cause. In which case, why defend the government's actions? Why should a government be allowed to secretly spy on anyone just because?

AFAIK Canada and in fact most other countries have a privacy clause specifically in their constitutions, unlike the US in which privacy is inferred and is (now) assumed only to mean privacy from the federal government. Most other countries including the consortium called the EU also guarantee privacy from intrusion by private parties and all levels of government. (As Facebook found out when brought to court by Germany.)

So this bill would seem to be a direct violation of PRIVACY constitutional requirements.

If lawmakers are threatening the PRIVACY of citizens, perhaps their PRIVACY should also be put at risk.

If You listen to the video, you may well get a different message than I did. I heard Anonymous, of whom I know nothing
except they hack, say that Bill c30 would sneakily, essentially remove a citizen's right to private records as regards
police with or without a warrant or notification. Such a bill would be vile. I can't side with Anonymous knowing next
to nothing about them. Perhaps they are a quite loose group, international, no leadership or definite policies? Are
any of them responsible adults?

I didn't try to look up Bill C30 to find what it actually said, knowing if it were even posted, it'd be a reading and
interpretation chore far beyond my energies. I have no way to pick between the hackers and the member of Parliament
at this time.

It's only a 6 minute video; y'all could go to YouTube, find it, wait for it to load, then listen to it, decide for
yourselves. Anonymous has lots more to say than that, too.

The Conservative government has called its controversial new electronic surveillance bill the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act as it attempts to win support for the planned laws that would give authorities unprecedented new powers to monitor the online and phone habits of Canadians.

The so-called “lawful access” legislation, tabled in the House of Commons Tuesday, will require Internet service providers and cellphone companies to hand over basic customer information — including name, address, phone number, email address, and ISP addresses — to authorities when requested, without the need for a warrant.

Patriot Act.

Allows them all your emails over 6 months old, and also allows them to compile a database with drivers licenses and facial recognition software for the eventual US version of Interpol. Also, your car and stuff can be subject to an unwarranted search during a routine traffic stop or while going through airport security.

At that point, whether they need a search warrant is actually kind of irrelevant. They've created a loophole around the 4th amendment.

However, at least a judge ruled that you can't put GPS tracers on a car. So we might be able to turn some of this insanity around.

This is an example of something that's actually a dangerous precedent hiding behind something with an innocuous name and a just sounding cause.

They chose the name so that they could tar any opposition as exactly what you said ("who could be against amendments to the Clear Air Act?"), but I wouldn't exactly trust that internet predators is what they're really after.

I don't know much about Anonymous (who does?) either, but so far their actions have been in the public interest (yes, as THEY view it) and not against the public itself. I have no problem with someone outting information on someone in power pushing a bill to out information about private citizens. I loved it!

And yes, the naming of the bill, much like here, is a transparent attempt to hide what it is: massive invasion of privacy. I'm pretty sure, from all I've heard, that it's done here and they're just following our example.

I'm on the fence about Anonymous, but thus far they haven't done anything of which I've disapproved (but of which TPTB REALLY disapproves). That makes me a bit in their favor.

How is the sterilization of (homeless, hungry?) dogs cruel? Did Anonymous think this through?
Cruetly to animals, abandoned animals are issues that will get me frothing. I favor the efforts of folks like Randy

If people have pets, they should take care those pets don't reproduce and that there's no accidents if they aren't spayed or neutered.

But at the same time, the plight of feral animals is the fault of humans deciding to take wild animals and make them suitable pets then losing them again to the wild. I have mixed feelings about sterilizing feral animals, I suspect that would be terrifying for the animal, and a large birth rate may be necessary to counter balance a high death rate in the population (feral animals are no longer pets).

Heck, I have mixed feelings about sterilizing pets, because it's not like you'd sterilize a human, though I recognize the necessity here.

FBI: US losing hacker war
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/fbi-us-losing-hacker-war/11143

Summary: A Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) executive says
“we’re not winning” the hacker war. He warns that FBI’s current
model to fight hackers infiltrating governments and companies is
“unsustainable.”

Oonjerah wonders idly ... Can it be the FBI has no competent and
honest hackers of its own? hmmm.

Well duh - hackers, by their very nature are anti-authoritarian.

The Feds have tried to counter this by training their own, but that kind of bootlicking, straight laced thought process doesn't have the necessary creativity to compete.

All they got is a few punks and shills like Adrian, who's skills are primarily social engineering and betrayal, even hackers have sociopaths although not many, and most of THEM are in it 4thaLuLz.

Adrian is a special case though, he gets off on fucking people over and destroying things, and isn't it so very ironic that he found his calling stooging for the Government, eh ?
His day WILL come.

All Hackers are not created from the same mold.

Takedown, 2000, "This film is based on the story of the capture
of computer hacker 'Kevin Mitnick'." Tsutomu Shimomura helped to
capture Kevin M., and he co-wrote the book about it. Tsutomu was
a hacker for the good guys. Pretty good movie.

My sis, along about 1960, went from keypunching to computer
programming. Computers fascinated her, and those were the "bad
old days" when they were still fairly simple. With her obsession
and the relative simplicity of it, she was able to master several
languages.

She liked to call herself a hacker, because she could read binary and
knew enough about architecture to get "underneath." I would say
she got under programming, into the workings of the CPU and BIOS.
But that's probably a misunderstanding by me.

Lemme imagine she's reborn in 1980 and well into hacking by 1995.
She's nearly amoral, could go either way with the talent. Lust for
money and appreciation for nice things like Maseratis, she'd wanna
be paid by a corporation for her skills.

I suggest that what the FBI can't do, the Corporations will.

OTOH, the FBI crying "uncle" may be a sensible tactic.

While I don't trust the ethics of the hackers as a whole,
I do trust their arrogance and love of publicity ... it's
a good time to broaden their activities.
