INDYMEDIA OWNED BY ISRAELI ZIONIST ORGANIZATION

This posting is an obvious Mossad Cointelpro attempt to cover up the involvement of the Bronfman, Soros and Rothschild families in the control of Indymedia, as well as their control over the Martian city of Cydonia, the Secret Government and the Chemtrail corporation.

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!
Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do! We do!
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do! We do!
Who robs the cave fish of their site?

Ah, that explains why all my paychecks have the Mossad logo crossed out and replaced with "Yoyodyne, Inc."

First off no one owns any of the indymedia's. secondly, I'm not associated or aware of any religious affliated organizations. Heck, I'm agnostic and probably more likely an aetheist.

Palestine Activism Spammed

by ABBY AGUIRRE

[posted online on October 10, 2002]

Within days of the April incursion of the Israel Defense Forces into Jenin, pro-Palestine activist Thomas Olson received first a trickle, then thousands, of e-mails with menacing subject lines such as: "Mecca is for Muslims, Jerusalem is for Jews," "Die Hitler Scum" and "I take it in the ass from Arafat." What then became daily e-mail bombardments of pro-Israel diatribes, racist cartoons and pornography soon progressed into a much more sinister form of cyber-harassment: Olson became a victim of a type of identity-theft dubbed a "joe job" by experts, wherein someone using Olson's name and e-mail address sends out thousands of messages that grossly misrepresent his position with respect to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. One such "job" had Olson declaring "I love Hitler" to hundreds of his fellow activists. Welcome to the concerted (and ongoing) cyber-campaign to frustrate and intimidate US-based pro-Palestine activists who attempt to organize on the Internet.

While spammings continue to crash servers and shut down inboxes, these joe jobs in particular have been smearing identities and wasting countless hours valuable to the activist community. University of Illinois law professor and pro-Palestine organizer Francis Boyle, for example, returned from a summer vacation to find 55,000 e-mails waiting in his inbox--most of them return-to-senders from a mass e-mail he supposedly wrote saying, "When I see in the newspapers that civilians in Afghanistan or the West Bank were killed by American or Israeli troops, I don't really care." Boyle--a former board member of Amnesty International USA and outspoken critic of the war in Afghanistan--spent four days sorting through the e-mails, deleting failed deliveries and apologizing to angry colleagues.

Similarly, Monica Tarazi, director of the New York chapter of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), discovered that her e-mail account had shut down after someone using her address spammed some eighty Yahoo! groups. And Yale medical school professor Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh has on three separate occasions learned that e-mails he wrote to various activist lists were altered and forwarded to 1,500 members of the Yale community. Qumsiyeh has also been the victim of outright forgeries, many of which attempt to slander him by alleging that he is a Muslim advocating terrorist acts. A recent e-mail even had Qumsiyeh rallying for revolution: "Comrades and friends, the only solution to the miseries of the world we live in today is with revolutionary change that overthrows the US capitalist system and its bourgeois supporters once and for all." Reading this aloud, Qumsiyeh chuckled, "They discovered that I'm not a Muslim, so they decided to make me a Communist."

All accounts of this cyber-harassment point to the targeting of activists who subscribe to pro-Palestine e-mail lists or belong to Palestine-related e-groups, as well as various academics, news groups and human rights organizations that either support Palestinian statehood or are simply critical of Israeli policy. Even celebrated MIT linguistics professor Noam Chomsky, outspoken critic of Israeli policies toward Palestine, has been hit. "There is an awful lot of stuff going out in my name that's totally insane and that I haven't written," the professor complained. For the last month or so, Chomsky's personal inbox has been regularly inundated with return-to-senders, which obviously constitute only a small fraction of the e-mails being sent from his address. When asked to characterize the campaign, Chomsky sighed, calling it "somewhere between infantile and Stalinist."

So who's responsible? Interestingly, the bulk of the e-mails appear to be coming from within the United States, specifically from a Kinko's or Internet cafe where the sender can remain anonymous. They are then routed through various servers around the world. Olson traced messages back through servers in Brazil, China and Mexico, only to find they were sent from a Kinko's in Colorado; likewise, some of the spam Boyle receives is sent from a Kinko's in the St. Louis area and routed through open relays in Brazil, China, Taiwan and Dubai. Though the campaign is no doubt elaborately sustained, and its architects determined, it is not necessarily the work of sophisticated hackers. What many of the victims are learning is that it is easy to change the "from" line of an e-mail. As Nigel Parry, co-founder of the Electronic Intifada website, told me, "This could have been done by 16-year-olds."

"It's a very organized, tenacious campaign," explained Boyle, "and it's clearly designed to knock me off the Internet." Indeed, the e-mails are intended to cause enough confusion to ultimately prevent pro-Palestine activists from organizing online. Thanks to a team of computer technicians at his university, Boyle is standing his ground; the computer users' office sifts through his e-mails and sets up blocks in an effort to keep spam manageable. "I'm not going anywhere," Boyle assured me. But for others like Olson (who have fewer resources), the resulting frustration and fear have made it so they can barely communicate with other activists electronically and have had to unsubscribe from politically oriented e-mail lists like Al-Awda and Free Palestine. "It's an impossible situation," explained Olson. "We're wasting hours of our time trying to figure out what's going on; it's making all of us paranoid; it's totally disabling the entire community and causing activists to withdraw from the Internet."

Adding to the activists' frustration is a sense that all this comes at a time when communication within the international pro-Palestine movement is more dependent than ever on cyber-communication. The strongest connection between pro-Palestine activists in the States and the people living in Palestinian camps and settlements exists online, where chat-rooms and warblogs (politically oriented web-logs) constitute a crucial component of the discourse. As one Palestinian blogger recently put it to the Jerusalem Post, "It comes down to the permission to narrate one's experiences, thoughts, and expressions. Basically, it is a way to communicate with the outside world." Moreover, as Edward Said noted in these pages (May 6, 2002), what does not make it through Israel's restricted coverage of the West Bank, the Internet provides in the form of hundreds of verbal and pictorial eyewitness reports. These accounts and reports are crucial to US-based pro-Palestine activism, where the struggle is for accurate reporting in the media rather than for homes and lives. "In Palestine they're fighting for their lives; here we're fighting for the truth," explained Olson. Numerous pro-Palestine activists in the United States feel it is this crucial communication the cyber-harassment is meant to stifle, which is why many share Nigel Parry's feeling that the campaign is an assault on freedom of speech.

Ironically, if the campaign as a whole constitutes an assault on freedom of speech, so too might efforts to prevent it. (Aside from being difficult and expensive to enforce, antispam laws are often challenged in court on constitutional grounds as violations of the First Amendment.) The clearer issue is that a majority of these e-mails are threatening and should seemingly qualify as harassment, intimidation and, in some cases, character assassination. But even along these lines, activists have encountered a slippery slope. After receiving a message that said "maybe one day I will kill your children," Monica Tarazi contacted the FBI. In a conference call with the Cyber Crimes and Civil Rights Section, Tarazi, along with Nigel Parry, were told that as frustrating as the e-mails may be, there was nothing illegal about them. The message "maybe one day I will kill your children" was not specific enough to qualify as a real threat. "There haven't been threats that rise to the level of hate crime," Tarazi told Wired News. "No money has been stolen, public safety has not been endangered and, as far as we can tell, our computers have not been hacked or 'technically intruded' into, as one agent put it."

When Olson received an e-mail containing a window shot of his personal c-drive, signed "thank you for sharing the contents of your c-drive with us," he too alerted the FBI. In his case, the Anti-Terrorism Task Force did concede that someone had gained partial access to his computer. But in order to help him, the federal agents claimed they would need to take his computer and make a copy of the hard drive. Olson did not feel comfortable handing his computer over to the FBI. (Under a provision of Ashcroft's USA Patriot Act, if it is determined that you are a supporter of terror, the FBI can plant in your computer the Magic Lantern, a device that records every activity performed on your computer.) When ultimately he opted not to give his computer to the agents, they accused him of hiding kiddy porn and left.

Subsequently, two organizations, the March for Justice (a Miami-based human rights organization) and Palestine Media Watch (a Philadelphia-based media watch group), are trying to foster more of a response from the FBI. Tired of finding their websites hacked, their servers shut down and thousands of incriminating e-mails written in their names, these organizations (in alliance with Palestinian Justice, Citizens for Fair Legislation, Essays and Commentary on Contemporary Middle Eastern Issues, Jewish Friends of Palestine and The American League for Justice and Peace) have put together an action coalition to get to the bottom of the cyber-harassment campaign. According to Ahmed Bouzid of Palestine Media Watch, the aim of the National Coalition Against Cyber Terrorism is "to gather as many victimized organizations and individuals under one umbrella so that we can collectively put pressure on the authorities." They are demanding that law enforcement and government agencies immediately respond to the repeated waves of cyber-harassment by pro-Israeli hackers, and enforcement of the law to the fullest.

The question looms as to how much of this disruptive activity is actually illegal. Because antispam laws have proven difficult and expensive to enforce, state and federal legislation have defined cyber-harassment statutes in different ways, and identity theft must involve financial loss to qualify as illegal, the outlook has seemed murky at best.

But there may be hope on the horizon. Since Monica Tarazi's initial conference call with federal agents, the ADC's legal advisers and one particularly helpful agent from the Civil Rights Section have dug up the relevant harassment statute of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and brought it to the attention of the FBI, which, in turn, agreed to launch a formal investigation next week.

this didn't happen............right?

you're right,

Jews became daily e-mail bombardments of
anti-jewish and anti-Israel diatribes, racist cartoons and pornography soon progressed into a much more sinister form of cyber-harassment:

ISRAELI COMPUTER HACKERS FOILED, EXPOSED
By Michael Gillespie
For Washington Report on Middle East Affairs - Sept. 3, 2002

Israeli cyber warfare professionals targeted human rights and anti-war activists across the USA in late July and August temporarily disrupting communications, harassing hundreds of computer users, and annoying thousands more.

The Israeli hackers targeted Stephen "Sami" Mashney, an Anaheim, California, attorney active in the effort to raise awareness of the plight of Palestinians.

"People have found an alternate way to communicate through the Internet," Mashney, a Palestinian-American, told the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, "and this attack is backfiring on the hackers. Many people are being educated."

Mashney, who co-manages a popular pro-Palestinian e-mail list hosted by Yahoo! logged onto his Internet accounts on July 31 to find hundreds of e-mail messages from angry Americans. He quickly realized that hackers had appropriated or "spoofed" his e-mail addresses and identity and sent out a message titled "Down With America" in his name. The message named and included contact information for 16 well-known human rights activists and falsely claimed the activists wished to be contacted by anyone desiring advice or assistance in fomenting and carrying out anti-American, anti-Christian, or anti-Jewish activities.

In an obvious attempt to damage Mashney's reputation, the hackers appended his name, law office telephone number, and website address to the spurious e-mail.

As Mashney was looking up the telephone number of the local FBI office to report the hackers' crime, his phone rang. It was the FBI calling, from Washington, with questions about the forged e-mail message. Mashney later met with FBI agents in California.

"I answered all their relevant questions," said Mashney, who notes that the hackers' attacks continued unabated for weeks and expanded to include other new and innovative methods of harassment that were used against many other activists associated with Free Palestine and other public and private e-mail lists.

Dr. Francis A. Boyle, professor of International Law at the University of Illinois College of Law, is a human rights activist who served on the board of Amnesty International USA. A member of Free Palestine and other activist lists, Dr. Boyle was also targeted by Israeli hackers who sent counterfeit e-mails in his name. Again, the hackers' intention was to SOW CONFUSION, PROVOKE ANIMOSITY, DAMAGE A REPUTATION, AND RESTRICT ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE. When Boyle returned from a vacation in mid August, he found 55,000 e-mails waiting for him. Like Mashney, Boyle spent days sorting through the messages, writing personal apologies to those offended by the bogus e-mails, and deleting thousands of bounced messages. Unflappable, Boyle takes it all in stride.

"You can't keep the Irish down," wrote Boyle in an e-mail message to this reporter.

Israeli hackers also targeted Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh, associate professor at the Yale University School of Medicine. The hackers forwarded to some 1,500 members of the Yale community e-mails that Qumsiyeh had sent to a private list of activists. Many of his university colleagues were annoyed, but Qumsiyeh, too, feels that the hackers are doing the Zionist cause more harm than good. Qumsiyeh said the hackers' efforts have generated new networking opportunities among activists and groups who did not know of each other's existence before the hackers targeted them.

Monica Terazi is director of the New York office of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). Terazi's e-mail privileges were yanked by Yahoo! for a time after hackers "spoofed" her e-mail address and identity to send a message to some 80 Yahoo! groups. Terazi, like Mashney, spoke with the FBI about the new Israeli cyber warfare tactics, which have piqued the interest of Internet communications professionals.
For a story published August 23, Terazi wrote to Wired News reporter Noah Shachtman, "While these e-mails are a nuisance, offensive and intimidating, the FBI didn't find anything illegal: There haven't been threats that rise to the level of a hate crime, no money has been stolen, public safety has not been endangered and, as far as we can tell, our computers have not been hacked or 'technically intruded into' as one agent put it." The offensive messages are all protected by the
First Amendment, said Terazi.

By mid August, the Israeli hackers had begun to target activists in Iowa, where it seems the Israeli hackers have "technically intruded" into computers. It is also likely their helpers here have forwarded addresses from private lists to Israel. Iowa activists report that
people and organizations on their private e-mail lists: family members, friends, acquaintances, media contacts, government officials, interfaith relations organizations, activists, and activist organizations suddenly found themselves receiving tens, hundreds, or thousands of anti-Arab, anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian "spam" e-mails per day. Many on private e-mail lists reported receiving anti-Arafat cartoons and racist diatribes, along with e-mail that aggressively connected to a web site that took control of their computers, turned the screen white, and made it necessary to shut down and re-start the computer. Some also reported that their e-mail addresses had been "spoofed" and their on-line identities appropriated for the distribution of racist messages.

Darrell Yeaney, a Presbyterian campus minister who retired after serving at the University of Iowa, is active in Friends of Sabeel, an ecumenical Christian organization that supports the ministry of Sabeel,
the center for Palestinian Ecumenical Liberation Theology. He and his wife, Sue, now serve as co-moderators for the Middle East Peacemaking
Group in Iowa. The Yeaneys report that the hackers appropriated their address and sent out spurious e-mail in their names.

Ames-based activist, author, and editor Betsy Mayfield, whose work has appeared in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, was busy with plans for a mid-September Des Moines film festival, "Boundaries: The
Holy Land," when the hackers turned their attentions to her computer.

Several Ames women whose only association with the crisis in the Holy Land is their commitment to the Ames Interfaith Council (AIC) reported being shocked by the sudden appearance of pornographic e-mail and
racist diatribes on their computer screens.

Many Iowans were targeted for harassment by the hackers, and hundreds of others suffered varying degrees of inconvenience because they were somehow connected to the cause of peace and justice in the Middle East. Similar scenarios played out in other states across the USA.

The SCALE of the Israeli cyber warfare campaign, the number of targets, and the variety of techniques used, coupled with specifically targeted intrusions calculated to provide additional target addresses for the application of the hackers' various forms of harassment, suggest a sophisticated, coordinated, government-sponsored program designed to impact directly upon the communications abilities of the human rights and pro-Palestinian anti-war activism communities in the USA.

When the Israeli hackers "spoofed" the AIC's e-mail address, they invited a response they did not expect. Because the AIC list was hosted by Iowa State University (ISU), because the world's first electronic digital computer was invented at ISU in a Physics Department laboratory in the early 1940s, and because he has represented the ISU Muslim Student's Association on the AIC cabinet, ISU Physics Department computer administrator Dr. Bassam Shehadeh decided to track the hackers down.

"The hackers access the internet via an ISP called Palnet.com on the West Bank," said Shehadeh.

When Palnet.com did not respond to his repeated e-mail enquiries, Shehadeh called the company, informed their representative that Palnet facilities were being used to interfere with communications at a state
institution in the USA, and demanded an explanation. He provided information that enabled Palnet technicians to identify the phone number of the customer harassing Iowans.

"Everyone here is a victim but the hackers," said Shehadeh. "The hackers use stolen identification to get access to Palnet."

Shehadeh said the contact line the hackers used for at least one message to the AIC list address was an Israeli number in West Jerusalem or one of the surrounding settlements. A Palnet representative also told Shehadeh the hackers have used several lines and methods to access Palnet's facilities.

"Afterwards, the hackers compromise another service system here in the USA by passing the e-mail message with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), using HELO verb. The hackers don't have a valid principal host but overcome that by using a bracketed Internet Protocol number (IP address) at a location anywhere on the web. Web hosting servers tricked
into transferring these e-mails include Digital Cube, Inc., Verizon DSL Network, and Iowa Online Web Access located in Washington, Iowa," said Shehadeh

Shehadeh and other computer professionals working in the USA report that ISPs and companies with IP addresses are typically very cooperative when notified that their equipment is being misused. Most act promptly to end the hackers' access.

Given widespread and systematic destruction of electronic communications facilities by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) in the West Bank in recent months, the continued existence of Palnet facilities suggests that the Israeli government had reason to permit Palnet's continued operation and raises questions about the ability of Palnet's owners to refuse service to Israeli hackers or otherwise interfere with their activities.

This particular campaign in Israel's cyber war seemed to have been curtailed, at least temporarily, on August 29, soon after Shehadeh tracked the hackers to the West Bank ISP and, finally, to an Israeli phone number, while other computer professionals in the USA, along with some of the targeted activists themselves, quietly contacted management representatives at various IP addresses around the globe and notified them that their facilities were being abused.
