Transport Union Refuses To Bus Protesters Arrested By New York Police

In Solidarity With Occupy Wall Street, Transport Union Refuses To Bus Protesters Arrested By New York Police | The Transport Workers Union is going to court today in hopes of blocking New York City from forcing bus drivers to transport any Occupy Wall Street protesters after the New York police department commandeered at least three buses to take many of the 700 protesters off the Brooklyn Bridge this weekend. Last week, the TWU voted to support the Occupy Wall Street movement and called the order to bus prisoners “a blatant act of political retaliation.” “TWU Local 100 supports the protesters on Wall Street and takes great offense that the mayor and NYPD have ordered operators to transport citizens who were exercising their constitutional right to protest — and shouldn’t have been arrested in the first place,” TWU President John Samuelsen said. Samuelson said that by instructing the drivers to follow the police directive, the Metropolitan Transit Authority violated its contract with the Local 100.

Breng die digitale kanonnen eens in stelling

Qua digitale veiligheid maken westerse overheden een enorme denkfout. Na iedere aanval verstevigen we ons fort, maar we laten het na om kanonnen in stelling te brengen. Die strategie bracht de geallieerden in de Tweede Wereldoorlog ook op achterstand. Eerst moesten er bommen op Londen vallen, voordat de luchtmacht koers zette richting Duitsland.

Dat betoogt Stewart Baker, een voormalig staflid van het Amerikaanse ministerie van Binnenlandse Veiligheid en inlichtingendienst NSA. In het tijdschrift Foreign Policy hekelt hij het gejuridiseer rondom het hacken. Om de ene vijandelijke overheid aan te vallen moet mogelijk eerst ingebroken worden in systemen van bondgenoten. Laat je daar het oorlogsrecht op los, dan moet de hele operatie afgeblazen worden. Ondertussen worden er wetten gemaakt die het Pentagon verbieden zelf overheden te hacken.

Techniek dicteert oorlogsvoering

Baker brengt in herinnering dat Rusland onlangs overheidsnetwerken van Estland en Georgië saboteerde. Ook wijst hij op het Stuxnet-virus: wie daar precies achter zat is onbekend, maar het legde met succes een Iraanse kernreactor lam. En Chinese hackers wisten de certificaten van het Amerikaanse beveiligingsbedrijf RSA te kraken. Iets soortgelijks overkwam Nederland vorige maand: belangrijke overheidssites bleken opeens onveilig.

Cyber War on Georgia

Hier blijft het niet bij, waarschuwt Baker. De Noord-Amerikaanse energiecentrale NERC waarschuwde vorig jaar dat een aanval op het netwerk de stroom van miljoenen mensen kan afsluiten. Dusdanig, zo stelt Baker, dat de situatie te vergelijken is met New Orleans na de orkaan Katrina. Niets zo ontregelend en gevaarlijk als een stad in het donker.

Stuxnet - Cyber Warfare

Niet het oorlogsrecht, maar de technologische innovatie dicteert volgens Baker hoe we elkaar op het slagveld bejegenen. Hij kan zich daarom goed vinden in wat James Cartwright, een gepensioneerde marinegeneraal, onlangs zei: “Als het oké is om mij aan te vallen en ik kan niet anders reageren dan mij steeds weer beter te beveiligen, dan is het erg moeilijk om tot een afschrikwekkende strategie te komen.”

Operation Invade Wall Street - A Message to the Media

quote:

Greetings, institutions of the media.

We are Anonymous.

The events transpiring within Wall Street have caught our eye.

It seems that the government and federal agencies enjoy enforcing the law a little bit too much. They instate unjust laws as mindless automatons, blindly following orders with soulless precision.

We witness the government enforcing the laws that punish the 99 percent while allowing the 1 percent to escape justice, unharmed, for their crimes against the people.

We have observed this same government failing to enforce even the minimal legal restraints of Wall Street’s abuses. This government who has willingly ignored the greed at Wall Street has even bailed out the perpetrators that have caused our crisis.

We will not stand by and watch the system take over our way of life.

We the people shall stand against the government’s inaction.

We the people will not be witnesses to your corruption and ill-gotten profits.

We will not labor for your leisure.

We will not assist you in any way.

This is why we choose to declare our war against the New York Stock Exchange. We can no longer stay silent as the population is being exploited and forced to make sacrifices in the name of profit.

We will show the world that we are true to our word. On Oct. 10, NYSE shall be erased from the Internet. On Oct. 10, expect a day that will never, ever be forgotten.

Vox Populi, Vox Anon.

The Voice of The People is The Voice of Anonymous.

We are Legion. We are the 99 percent.

We do not forgive. We do not forget.

Wall Street: Expect us

At its Core, Occupy Wall Street Will Always Remain a Product of its Time and Place

Criticisms about the various occupy movements now spreading throughout the United States were expected from the outset.

Generally speaking, and for various reasons, there will be underlying elements that will seek to undermine popular movements. Often this is accomplished by questioning the purpose, usefulness, motives, tactics, or by constructing moral judgments to rally around, and even by slandering individuals within the movement or the movement as a whole.

Yesterday, the undermining critique came from a most unfortunate source. Presstorm published the following piece calling attention to the political underpinning of the General Assembly of the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City. An obvious feature to point out about this latest Presstorm piece is that it is not linked to the Presstorm site. That is because shortly after this article was published, the site appeared to have been hit by a DDoS.

This rather ironic twist of fate might be the “just deserts” Presstorm had coming as a result of this latest piece. I myself couldn’t help chuckling at this most paradoxical of situations. As a Presstorm journalist, however, you may be wondering, what on earth would make me crack a smile?

It is not enough to defend freedom of speech and to express the critical need for publications to simultaneously articulate multiple viewpoints in order to bring truth to the fore, especially in the field of journalism. I firmly believe that these freedoms come with a certain level of responsibility. These responsibilities were breached by Presstorm’s latest publication entitled “Investigative Analysis: Occupy Wall Street General Assembly – Direct Attack on the American Constitution”. While I may not agree with the perspectives of the author, the perspectives alone are not what make me uncomfortable.

The article in question used “Presstorm” as a banner to make blanket analyses that inevitably brought all those affiliated with Presstorm underneath. This was a serious oversight by the article’s author.

Presstorm is not a unified monolithic think bloc. I frequently disagree with my colleagues on various matters: political and social. To have this article, which now appears on Philip Brennan’s website, angled in a manner that implies my accord with it, is entirely negligent and irresponsible.

Furthermore, the repeated discussions of Alexa O’Brien of the US Day of Rage (USDOR), by Presstorm, has developed into a deplorable and offensive slander and, at this rate, is tantamount to bullying.

Our contemporary political and social milieu condones the act of criminalising people purely on the basis of their political, social, economic, and in many instances, religious thinking – this is something as a Pakistani Muslim who has lived both in the United States and the United Kingdom, I am all too familiar with. It is most unfortunate to see this type of conduct carried out in this setting. At the end of the day, unfortunate or not, we are all products of our contemporary environments.

Most, if not all, social movements are comprised by bodies of political thought and historical interpretation – ranging from the “moderate” to the “radical”. Nevertheless, these various elements comprise the larger collective body that moves together, and it is these variations, whether they be the socialist lites, the communists, the anarchists, even the seemingly “radical ideologues” like Alexa O’Brien, that critically shape movements and lie at the core of social movements making them wholly and entirely democratic.

ANONYMOUS Message concerning Invade Wall Street

Citizens of the world

We are Anonymous! Recently something very disturbing has come to our attention. You must take all notices and information claiming to be 'Anonymous' with a grain of salt. Consider EVERYTHING.

Operation Invade Wall Street is bullshit! It is a fake planted operation by law enforcement and cyber crime agencies in order to get you to undermine the Occupy Wall Street movement. It proposes you use depreciated tools that have known flaws such as LOIC.

Anonymous would never tell you to use LOIC - Not after the arrests and failures of Operation Payback.

Anonymous wouldn't attack NYSE on a HOLIDAY - It is debatable if Anonymous would ever even attack NYSE.

Be wary friends!

Telecomix : Syria

Tonight, Telecomix is releasing all log files in their possession (or at least the ones that the writer is presently aware of) taken from Syrian BlueCoat devices. These are Web filtering proxy devices that have been used by the Syrian Telecommunications Establishment for months in order to filter and monitor all HTTP connections in the country, helping authorities to track, arrest, torture and kill potential opponents. The log files cover the period from 22nd of July to 5th of August, 2011. They concern seven out of the fifteen BlueCoat SG-9000 devices that we found on the STE backbone network. Log files provide dozens of millions of HTTP requests emitted by dozens of thousands of Internet subscribers of all major ISPs in Syria, and represent 54GB of data. They notably include all requested URLs and how the proxy reacted to these requests. We release them to allow any one who wishes to analyze them to provide a deeper insight on Syrian censorship and create more knowledge to circumvent further attacks on freedom of expression. Statistical analyses can reveal interesting information such as forbidden keywords. Two of them that are already identified are "israel" and "proxy". Some experiments that we made to confirm the devices behavior are described here: reflets.info . Subscribers' personal IP addresses have been stripped off the for obvious privacy reasons, but it is indeed possible that some personal data are still present in the requested URLs. Syrian backbone network contains for sure other BlueCoat proxy devices, notably inside Syrian Computer Society IP ranges. More recent logs are not available, maybe because Syrian authorities have eventually secured the logging process and/or because they have upgraded their filtering strategy, now using devices from a German brand called Fortinet. Some BlueCoat devices IPs are the following: 82.137.200.42-56 (STE) and 213.178.244.16 (SCS). Have good fun with these, and feel free to mirror them! streisand.trollab.org sec.tl ftp://bluecoat:bluecoat@telecomix.ceops.eu Tue, 4 Oct 2011 23:43:52 +0200
