美國12歲女孩起訴學校用Facebook監視自己 12-Year-Old Girl Sues School for Spying on Her Facebook Account


12-Year-Old Girl Sues School for Spying on Her Facebook Account

Activist Post

The ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of a 12-year-old middle school student who was detained and interrogated by Minnesota school officials who demanded her Facebook and email passwords.

According to CNN, the girl claims she was "'intimidated, frightened, humiliated and sobbing while she was detained in the small school room' as she watched a counselor, a deputy, and another school employee pore over her private communications."

The "interrogation" of the student stemmed from an incident where the girl wrote on her Facebook wall that hall monitors in the school were being "mean" to her and that she hated them, which the school determined was enough justification to demand a review of all her private communications.



The ACLU says that the Minnewaska School District violated the student's First Amendment right to free speech and her Fourth Amendment right to privacy and protection from unreasonable search and seizure.

"Students do not shed their First Amendment rights at the school house gate. The Supreme Court ruled on that in the 1970s, yet schools like Minnewaska seem to have no regard for the standard," said Minnesota's executive director for the ACLU in a statement about the case.

The school district maintains that its actions were "reasonable and appropriate".

Official List Of Words Feds Monitor On Social Networking Sites

Alexander Higgins, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

The Feds have been forced to release their social network monitoring manual, which contains the list of words the government watches on social media and news sites.

Earlier the Huffington Post reported on the Feds have been forced to give up their list of words they monitor on Facebook, Twitter, and comments being posted on news articles, so I compiled that list below.

Homeland Security Manual Lists Government Key Words For Monitoring Social Media, News
Ever complain on Facebook that you were feeling “sick?” Told your friends to “watch” a certain TV show? Left a comment on a media website about government “pork?”
If you did any of those things, or tweeted about your recent vacation in “Mexico” or a shopping trip to “Target,” the Department of Homeland Security may have noticed.
In the latest revelation of how the federal government is monitoring social media and online news outlets, the Electronic Privacy Information Center has posted online a 2011 Department of Homeland Security manual that includes hundreds of key words (such as those above) and search terms used to detect possible terrorism, unfolding natural disasters and public health threats. The center, a privacy watchdog group, filed a Freedom of Information Act request and then sued to obtain the release of the documents.
The 39-page “Analyst’s Desktop Binder” used by the department’s National Operations Center includes no-brainer words like “”attack,” “epidemic” and “Al Qaeda” (with various spellings). But the list also includes words that can be interpreted as either menacing or innocent depending on the context, such as “exercise,” “drill,” “wave,” “initiative,” “relief” and “organization.”

These terms and others are “broad, vague and ambiguous” and include “vast amounts of First Amendment protected speech that is entirely unrelated to the Department of Homeland Security mission to protect the public against terrorism and disasters,” stated the Electronic Privacy Information Center in letter to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence.
The manual was released by the center a week after Homeland Security officials were grilled at a House hearing over other documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit that revealed analysts were scrutinizing online comments that “reflect adversely” on the federal government. Mary Ellen Callahan, the chief privacy officer for the Department of Homeland Security, and Richard Chavez, director for the National Operations Center, testified that the released documents were outdated and that social media was monitored strictly to provide situational awareness and not to police disparaging opinions about the federal government. On Friday, Homeland Security officials stuck by that testimony.
A senior Homeland Security official who spoke to The Huffington Post on Friday on condition of anonymity said the testimony of agency officials last week remains “accurate” and the manual “is a starting point, not the endgame” in maintaining situational awareness of natural and man-made threats. The official denied Electronic Privacy Information Center’s charge that the government is monitoring dissent. The manual’s instruction that analysts should identify “media reports that reflect adversely on DHS and response activities” was not aimed at silencing criticism but at spotting and addressing problems, she added.

25個報告可以令你在恐怖份子觀察名單上出現

25 Reports That Can Put You on the Terror Watch List

Anonymous 
Activist Post

A concerted effort has been afoot for some time to merge local police with federal authorities to respond to the implementation of citizen spy "snitch" programs. This has been best illustrated by the role of threat fusion centers, which are integrating data from public and private sources alike -- even universities.

The FBI has now made public their "Communities Against Terrorism" Suspicious Activity Reporting flyers.

I myself have seen documents like this as a former retail store owner.  One day, roughly 10 years ago, I received a flyer in my mailbox informing our establishment that we were to submit a "Suspicious Activity Report" for anyone paying with large amounts of cash (I believe it was $2,000 or more at the time).  I proceeded to throw it directly into the garbage where it belonged. I did inform my clients, though, rather than inform the "authorities" as I was directed. However, these SAR's have clearly become much more widespread than my tiny retail shop, infiltrating nearly every facet of life in America.

Listed below are all 25 known flyers that should be read in their entirety if one wishes to discover just how far the United States has traveled in its attempt to replicate a level of citizen snitches not seen since the Stasi of East Germany.

I have included a very short summary of each .PDF, with an embedded link in the title,  to serve as a general guide of who is a potential terrorist suspect.

Let us never forget that this system of control needs our cooperation if it is to succeed.  We have to accept personal responsibility for how much further this slide toward tyranny is going to take us; and that starts by getting informed, and informing others of the extent of their plan.
  1. Airport Service Providers -- Includes on-craft providers: baggage, cleaners, cargo, catering, mechanics, ground crew, food service, cleaners, security, taxi, limos, and shuttles.
  2. Beauty/Drug Suppliers -- People who have burn marks, missing limbs, travel a long distance, nervous, who are picked up, make illogical requests (even of consumer-grade products).
  3. Bulk Fuel Distributors -- New customers not from the area, those using cash for large transactions, nervous, large purchases, having a rental vehicle.
  4. Construction Sites -- People with environmental slogans and/or anti-government slogans, banners or signs that threaten or imply violence.
  5. Dive/Boat Shops -- New customers reluctant to provide complete personal information, customer who does not have certification, using cash for expensive transactions, extended rentals, appearing uninterested in safety rules, experiencing guarded behavior.
  6. Electronics Stores -- Person who alters appearance from visit to visit (changing hair color, shaving, etc.), fills a "shopping list" of components while lacking knowledge about their use. Pays cash for large purchases.
  7. Farm Supply Stores -- New customers not from the area, nervous or impatient, suspicious inquiries regarding equipment specifications, failing to state legitimate use for supplies, rental vehicle, cash for large transactions.
  8. Financial Institutions -- No evidence for legitimate business activity, those with multiple accounts, banks, parties, and jurisdictions (layering).  Mixed deposits (money orders, third-party checks, and/or payroll into a business account).  Large volume of wire transfers, or repetitive patterns, shell entities, "pass through" points by foreign jurisdictions.
  9. General Aviation -- Taking flying lessons but appear uninterested, renting under vague reasons for doing so, requests to fly over specific locations without substantiated reason, taking pictures or videos of potentially sensitive locations, actions outside the norm, parking near the perimeter of airport, asking questions without substantiation.
  10. General Public -- Basically everything exhibited by those with an inquisitive nature: questions, note taking, drawing, annotating maps, inappropriate photos or videos, people in places where they do not belong.
  11. Hobby Shops -- Interest in remote-controlled aircraft, interest that does not seem genuine, possessing little knowledge of purchase, exhibiting unusual interest, exhibiting no interest, using cash for large transactions.
  12. Home Improvement and Large Retail Stores -- Large quantity of ammunition, firearms and ammunition out of season, combination of unusual items, interest in night vision and camouflage apparel, purchases of pipe fittings and supplies, rental vehicle, refusal to complete firearms paperwork, using cash for large transactions.
  13. Hotels/Motels -- There is an excellent discussion of this section in Michael Snyder's recent article.
  14. Internet Cafes -- There is an excellent discussion of this section in Michael Snyder's recent  article.
  15. Shopping Malls -- Wearing backpacks, discreet use of cameras, note-taking, or video over an extended period, several men arriving together then splitting up, continuing to communicate (dry run?), speaking to security guards, comments regarding radical theology, vague or cryptic warnings, or anti-U.S. sentiments that appear out of place and provocative.
  16. Martial Arts/Paintball -- Insist on paying with cash, travels long distance to participate, interest in learning offensive moves in a confined space, learning the use of hidden weapons, learning kill and restraint techniques with no occupational need, group training, uttering racist, religious, unusual, anti-US, or vague and cryptic warnings, close combat training, paintball tactics of ambush or kidnapping scenarios, operating a private facility, converting large plots of rural land to conduct these activities.
  17. Mass Transportation -- Altering one's appearance, exhibiting burns, bleached body hair, concealed wires, nervous, actions suggesting use of a hidden camera, unusual comments, questioning security/facility personnel via normal means of communication, groups arriving together then splitting up and communicating via cell phone.
  18. Military Surplus -- Demanding identity privacy, insisting on paying with cash, suspicious comments, bulk purchases.
  19. Peroxide Explosives -- Unknown customer, individual requesting more information.
  20. Recognizing Sleepers -- Arrival from countries where violent militant Islamic groups are known to operate, long unexplained absences, fury at the West for reasons ranging from personal problems to global policies of the U.S., conspiracy theories about Westerners (e.g. the CIA arranged for 9/11 to legitimize the invasion of foreign lands), accusing the West of trying to destroy Islam.
  21. Rental Cars -- Reluctance to provide complete personal information, using cash, unusual questions.
  22. Rental Properties -- Using cash for large transactions, inquiries about local sites, refusing maintenance or service over extended time, not using property for intended purpose, unusual number of package deliveries, unusual amounts of traffic, discovery of unusual items.
  23. Rental Trucks -- Reluctance to provide personal information, cash for large transactions, inquiries about renting a truck with a wooden floor, questions about vehicle specifications.
  24. Storage Facilities -- Failing to provide complete personal information, using cash to pay fees in advance, placing unusual items in storage, disposing of tools, gloves, masks, or clothing, discarding clothes or shoes in new condition, avoiding contact with rental facility personnel, accessing facility an unusual number of times, storing items that emit unusual odors or leak liquids.
  25. Tattoo Shops -- Demanding identity "privacy," paying cash, altering appearance (beard, hair style, hair color, style of dress, etc.), making racist or extreme statements, suspicious comments that suggest or appear to endorse violence in support of a cause, repeated returns with multiple individuals requesting identical tattoos, inquiries about unusual methods of tattooing or placement which could allow the concealment of extremist symbols.
These flyers also state an additional note about how you can be a part of the solution:
  • Require a valid ID of all new customers.
  • Keep records of purchases.
  • Talk to customers, ask questions, and listen to and observe their responses.
  • Make note of suspicious statements, people and/or vehicles.
  • If something seems wrong, notify law enforcement authorities.
As a former store owner in one of the categories above (and a martial arts practitioner), I suggest that you completely disregard the suggestions of these reports.  Instead, I would urge common sense, reliance upon your innate "gut instincts" that nature has provided as a tool to determine what is truly wrong beyond these catch-all guidelines.  And, lastly, realize that preventing terrorism is not a "community effort" under the direction of bloated bureaucrats and their overlords. Preventing terrorism, whether State-sponsored via false flag or legitimate, should be the role of each individual's power of discernment. It's more efficient, more honest, and more effective.

It is the utmost duty of individuals to speak out against unsubstantiated fear mongering and the usurpation of power based on upon exaggerated threats. These exaggerated threats are often designed to lead to a paranoid culture that can be easily swayed by manipulated emotions instead of critical thinking. Furthermore, violence, coercion, and threats of consequences for non-cooperation with State dictates are the hallmarks of historical tyranny.

Finally, let's not forget what the mere accusation of terrorism means in today's world: indefinite detention without a trial, torture, and the end of our unalienable rights.

Follow the above official State guidelines for reporting "potential terrorism" at your peril.

你喜歡網上隱私嗎?您可能會成為恐怖分子

Do You Like Online Privacy? You May Be a Terrorist

A flyer designed by the FBI and the Department of Justice to promote suspicious activity reporting in internet cafes lists basic tools used for online privacy as potential signs of terrorist activity. The document, part of a program called “Communities Against Terrorism”, lists the use of “anonymizers, portals, or other means to shield IP address” as a sign that a person could be engaged in or supporting terrorist activity. The use of encryption is also listed as a suspicious activity along with steganography, the practice of using “software to hide encrypted data in digital photos” or other media. In fact, the flyer recommends that anyone “overly concerned about privacy” or attempting to “shield the screen from view of others” should be considered suspicious and potentially engaged in terrorist activities.
Logging into an account associated with a residential internet service provider (such as Comcast or AOL), an activity that could simply indicate that you are on a trip, is also considered a suspicious activity. Viewing any content related to “military tactics” including manuals or “revolutionary literature” is also considered a potential indicator of terrorist activity. This would mean that viewing a number of websites, including the one you are on right now, could be construed by a hapless employee as an highly suspicious activity potentially linking you to terrorism.

* People Who:


Are overly concerned about privacy, attempts to shield the screen from view of
others
Act nervous or suspicious behavior inconsistent with activities

* Activities on Computer indicate:



Evidence of a residential based internet provider (signs on to Comcast, AOL,
etc.)
Use of anonymizers, portals, or other means to shield IP address
Suspicious or coded writings, use of code word sheets, cryptic ledgers, etc.
Encryption or use of software to hide encrypted data in digital photos, etc.
Suspicious communications using VOIP or communicating through a PC game

* Use Computers to:


Download content of extreme/radical nature with violent themes
Gather information about vulnerable infrastructure or obtain photos, maps or
diagrams of transportation, sporting venues, or populated locations

Download or transfer files with “how-to” content such as:
- Content of extreme/radical nature with violent themes
- Military tactics, equipment manuals, chemical or biological information
- Preoccupation with press coverage of terrorist attacks
- Defensive tactics, police or government information
- Information about timers, electronics, or remote transmitters / receivers

英國會要網路業者 監控極端主義

(路透倫敦6日電)英國國會內政事務委員會(Home Affairs Committee)今天表示,網路在大多暴力極端分子激化他人案例上扮演重要角色。網路服務業者(ISP)應加強監控網路內容,並制定守則。
委員會指出:「網際網路是極端分子宣傳理念或是招募新人的重要管道,勝過監獄、大學或是宗教場所。」
委員會主席瓦茲(Keith Vaz)表示:「需投入更多資源因應這些威脅,並避免極端分子透過網路和私密空間激化他人。」
瓦茲說:「這些地方是恐怖主義滋長的大好溫床。」
檢方上週表示,坦承陰謀策劃炸毀倫敦證交所的4名伊斯蘭教徒,是受奧拉基(Anwar al-Awlaki)網路宣傳刺激。奧拉基為美國公民,與葉門蓋達組織(al-Qaeda)有關。美國中央情報局(CIA)去年發動無人機攻擊,擊斃奧拉基。
委員會報告指出:「我們建議政府和英國網路服務業者合作,制定行動準則,要求ISP業者致力移除網路上的暴力極端內容。」這篇報告名為「暴力極端主義之根源」。
不過網路服務業者協會告訴委員會,他們不是最適合判斷何為極端內容的單位,並表示因網路內容數量龐大,要監控所有內容不切實際。中央社(翻譯)url

Google自我審查 封博客「違法」文章

【明報專訊】曾向中國網絡搜尋審查高聲說不的Google,繼twitter之後,也捲入自我審查風波。Google 被揭推出新機制,容許按照不同國家的規定,審查當地開戶博客的文章內容,若收到「合法要求」,Google會封鎖有關內容,令該國網民無法登入觀看,儘管 身處其他國家的訪客仍可看到。新機制目前先在澳洲、新西蘭和印度實行,預期最終會在全球執行。
澳紐印先行 料擴至全球
Google 是於上月初低調透露設立了這個新機制。根據網上公布,Google會按國家重新導向網誌訪客,例如澳洲網民想瀏覽Google旗下的網誌時,會自動被導向 至域名後半部為「.blogspot.com.au」的網址,比原本網址多上代表澳洲的「.au」。若澳洲官員提出,當地某網誌內容違反當地法律,而 Google認同其意見,便會在澳洲封鎖該網誌,但在該網址未被判違法的國家或地區,網民到訪仍不受限制。此安排與twitter早前宣布按國家過濾內容 的做法相似,在當地政府的「合法要求」下封鎖推文,但容許外國網民照樣瀏覽。
Google推出變相審查機制,惹來損害言論自由的抨擊。網上 自由關注組Open Net Initiative直指Google和twitter的做法,反映美國網絡巨擘向政府強權屈服的趨勢。但Google堅稱此舉「有助適當地推動言論自 由」,因為Google毋須將網誌內容徹底移除,即使網誌無法在受法律限制的國家或地區瀏覽,其他地方都能看到,增加處理本土法律問題的彈性。牛津大學互 聯網研究所的研究員賴特(Joss Wright)也附和,揚言「Google的新做法,將能平衡最終用戶的言論自由、合法性與實際情况」。
被指向強權屈服
Google 以前曾按照個別國家的法律屏蔽網站,例如2002年按德法要求,在搜尋器中過濾逾百個反猶太主義和納粹主義等散播極端仇恨言論的網站,但會在搜尋結果上註 明網站封鎖的數量和原因。印度民主政府最近正大力施壓,要Google、fb和twitter等,審查對印度而言屬於「敏感」的內容,今次Google率 先在印度推出新措施,令人關注Google是否向印度政府屈服。url

確保網際安全 美國安部有新招

(法新社華盛頓30日電) 美國國土安全部部長納波里塔諾(Janet Napolitano)今天說,美國官員正在部署「最新工具」,確保商業網際安全,保護美國資訊基礎建設。
納波里塔諾在華府全國記者俱樂部(NationalPress Club)致詞時,強調國土安全與美國經濟安全「齊頭並進」的重要性。她針對國土安全狀況發表年度演講時說:「對我們全體而言,網際空間是1個日益繁忙的地區。」她說:「在今天高科技安全和商業環境下,我們所專注的,不僅是貨物與人跨越邊界的實體活動而已。」她說,國土安全部官員旨在「為電子商務設立安全
流通環境」,協助支持建立「商品和理念安全交易的市場」。(譯者:中央社王黛麗)url

Twitter允自我審查 遷就歐美法律 難換華解禁

【明報專訊】一直強調捍衛言論自由、被視為「阿拉伯之春」推手的社交網 絡Twitter宣布,現可視乎各地特殊情况,審查「推文」內容,選擇性地禁止在個別國家上載,以便進入那些「對言論自由尺度有不同意見的國家」,令外界 關注Twitter是否為了商業利益而犧牲言論自由。有分析認為,中國無論如何都不會給Twitter解禁。
Twitter指出,當公司業 務「不斷在各地擴張,我們將進入那些對言論自由尺度有不同意見的國家」,部分國家基於歷史文化原因,對部分言論有不同的限制,例如德國及法國就有法例禁止 鼓吹納粹主義的言論。該公司為新措施辯護稱,現時收到個別政府對敏感「推文」(tweets)的投訴,公司就要把有關留言徹底刪除,令全球網民無法獲得消 息,但在Twitter提升軟件系統後,部分信息即使因為在個別國家屬於違法而無法在當地顯示,其他地區的網民仍可繼續瀏覽,新措施變相令更多網民有機會 獲得信息。
非徹底刪除 辯稱更多人獲知信息
Twitter強調,現時尚未應用有關技術,但日後若刪除留言,將會通知用戶「在什麼時間或什麼緣故下刪除推文」,並計劃與網絡自由權益組織「寒蟬效應」(chillingeffects.org)網站合作,編輯及發布由政府、企業及個人所提出的刪除信息要求。
「意見南轅北轍國 不容我們存在」
Twitter 沒表明新審查技術將於哪些國家採用,但預期「那些對言論自由持南轅北轍意見的國家,不會容許我們存在」,《華爾街日報》稱,此話矛頭似乎是指以防火牆封殺 了Twitter兩年的中國。分析指出,由於中國在網上全面封殺指定關鍵詞,就算Twitter肯在中國加強自我審查,但其打算向其他用戶公布刪除信息決 定的做法,恐怕都難以換取Twitter在中國解禁。
免犯歐美法 曾稱不會審查推文
對Twitter來說,新措施的更大效 用,似乎是避免觸犯歐美法律。Twitter年多前公開披露華府暗中取得法庭頒令,他們在法庭令下公開4個帳戶的資料,懷疑帳戶主人與公開美國外交密電的 「維基解密」網站有關。當時Twitter解釋說:「我們其中一個核心價值,是捍衛及尊重每位用戶的聲音,將盡可能保持內容流通。當我們不能做到時,也會 對用戶保持透明度。」去年1月,突尼斯、埃及等國家爆發「阿拉伯之春」,該網站曾發布《推文必須流傳》的網誌,聲言不會審查推文內容,新做法難免被質疑向 個別政府妥協。

互聯網審查下一階段現已開始:人的戰爭位置!





盜百萬fb網民資料 廣告公司遭控

【明報專訊】Facebook(fb)與華盛頓州政府控告美國廣告公司Adscend涉嫌電子商業通訊詐騙及進行不公平商業行為,以「點擊騎劫」伎倆,誤導fb用戶點擊廣告網站,令用戶泄露個人資料,並將垃圾信息傳播給朋友。
專頁作餌 須「讚好」解封內容
估計Adscend每月藉「點擊騎劫」盜用戶資料獲利120萬美元,影響百萬計fb用戶。這是首次有美國州政府控告透過fb發布垃圾信息的公司。
案 情指Adscend以一些設計吸引的fb專頁為誘餌,假裝成來自朋友的信息,聲稱可讓用戶觀看有趣或色情內容,要求用戶先對專頁「讚好」,其後用戶便被連 接到fb以外的廣告網站,要求用戶填寫網上問卷或訂閱廣告信息等,以開啟聲稱被封鎖的網頁內容,但最終用戶預期中的內容可能根本不存在;而用戶在「讚好」 後,朋友亦會收到通知,幫助散播誘餌專頁。當局指單在去年2月,就有28萬fb用戶曾到訪Adscend開設的專頁,相信受騙fb用戶可能高達數百萬人。

FBI研監控社交網蒐情報



FBI研監控社交網蒐情報

【明報專訊】美國聯邦調查局(FBI)擬研發應用程式,以便從facebook和twitter等社交網絡,蒐集情報「保護國家安全」,惹來監控網絡言論和侵犯民眾私隱的批評。
FBI 戰略資訊及行動中心(SOIC)正就開發可靠的社交媒體監察程式,在網站公開邀請科技公司提供可行方案及估算成本。SOIC希望透過監察程式,快速自動蒐 集網民於社交網絡公開發布的資訊,甚至將之即時翻譯為英文,並容許以不同關鍵字進行搜尋。SOIC要求,有關程式可把資料整合,在3D Google地圖上實時顯示全球各地區面臨的「威脅程度」,另系統須可保存有用資訊,兼易於分享情報。
被斥侵私隱 牽連無辜用戶
SOIC聲言,透過程式蒐集社交網資訊,可與現時全球恐怖分子網絡的情報結合,協助當局調查「不法分子」的行動,防範襲擊。SOIC稱只會蒐集用戶自願在社交網發布的公開內容,強調有政策避免收集與調查案件無關的資訊。
稱只蒐公開資訊 YouTubeFlickr有份
SOIC 暫計劃監察短片網站YouTube、相簿網站Flickr,以及專門分享fb熱門內容的網站ItsTrending.com等,當局列舉了一些搜尋關鍵字 例子,諸如gang(幫派)、smallpox(天花)、leak(泄漏)等。但「leak」這例子,卻不禁使人想到爆料網站維基解密,令人關注FBI的 監控目標,是否只涉調查罪案和反恐。
英國組織「私隱國際」稱,社交網絡將大量用戶互相連結,即使警方監控目標只有一人,但可能牽連數以百計 無辜用戶同被監視。美國私隱關注組織EPIC直指FBI這項收集情報計劃「荒謬」,認為FBI意圖繞過授權程序,調查他們根本無權調查的人,欠缺公信力及 透明度,亦缺乏監管。

互聯網審查下一階段現已開始:人的戰爭位置!

Number Six
Activist Post
Reports pertaining to the censorship and takedown of personal websites continue to flood in.

First, YouTube meddled with the view counts of folks like Alex Jones over at Info Wars and Prison Planet. Then Flickr, MySpace and Facebook began censoring comments and material. Now an increasing number of independent online media is beginning to feel the sharp edge of the blade.

Amazon & Wikileaks

When Wikileaks went under fire for its publication of material such as the quarter million diplomatic cables (or Pentagon Papers 2), Amazon decided to pull the plug on its service to the whistleblower website.

Subsequently, we found out that the CEO and founder of Amazon attended the most recent Bilderberg group meeting in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

Is it any wonder that Amazon too has joined the bandwagon? Average Joe’s who shot to fame and fortune, respective business empire founders such as Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, have been enticed by the club of “good old boys” and awoken that innate and evil human desire to play God with the rest of us.

This author was responsible for the Wikileaks publication of the few Bilderberg meeting documents available a week before their meet in Greece of 2009. They had been obtained from the author of Illuminati Conspiracy Archive, whose website seems to have become now defunct. Apparently, they had floated around on the net some years before, to have been taken down, and this author figured it wise to republish the few documents available to aid research.

A final disclaimer on the subject of Wikileaks. This author believes Wikileaks to be a “US Government con job.” Esteemed analyst William Engdahl has written extensively on this topic. Daniel Estulin of Bilderberg fame has also recently published a book on the deceptive nature of Wikileaks and its use as a tool of disinformation, the results of which we are now witnessing. Founder of Cryptome (John Young) worked with “Wikileaks” in its infancy and left after growing suspicion.

Don’t Tread on Me

A few weeks ago, Silver Shield’s popular economic and political commentary blog had been hacked. He has been wildly popular with his Sons of Liberty Academy and drive to make people aware of the true nature of the monetary system, suggesting the purchase of physical silver as one way to be free of the false paradigm. A similar hack had also been perpetrated against Freedom Force International a few years ago.

SGT Report & Bank of America

Just recently, SGT Report, who provides excellent economic reality and freedom related reporting, had been subjected to COINTELPRO commentary assault by the Wall Street-Pentagon nexus which includes Bank of America. See the site editor’s excellent detective work HERE.

Activist Post & Google via Blogger

The excellent Activist Post, to which Global Governance Archive is a frequent contributor, seems to have just been taken down by Google-owned Blogger. Recall that Google CEO Eric Schmidt also attended the last Bilderberg meeting.

Rick Rozoff (Stop NATO) & WordPress

The website of important analyst Rick Rozoff,  Stop NATO, has now been threatened by WordPress, who seems also to have taken to the chopping block.

Yahoo & the Day of Rage

Finally, we have Yahoo censoring the Day of Rage attempts to coordinate their occupation of Wall Street.Full Spectrum Dominance

Full Spectrum Dominance

This insane Pentagon doctrine seeks to dominate land, air, sea, outer space, inner space and cyber space. It seeks "informational superiority" which is defined as "the capability to collect, process and disseminate an uninterrupted flow of information while exploiting or denying adversary's ability to do the same."


Prepare for the Cyber False Flag

Corporate interests have been co-opted by the global elites and their secret societies. Bilderberg 2011 saw the coming together of Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and Amazon, among others. We are now only beginning to witness the outcome of their policy agenda. Companies are being bought up and merged by the new world elites, with Skype going to NSA Microsoft and YouTube to CIA Google.
As the few, the wise, those that enter through the narrow gate have long been warning and preparing for such issues as food storage, survivalism and spiritual preparedness, our essential lines of communication are gradually being cut. Skynet is becoming self-aware. Take all preventative measures and bat down the hatches. There be a storm on the horizon. Godspeed.

Global Governance Archive is an information war desk which seeks to aid researchers both new and old in sifting through the most important material on everything from economy to the architecture of global government which is now being built.
