"It has come to my attention, that our hosting provider, Calyx Internet Access, has been under harassment and scrutiny by the United States Secret Service in a blatant attempt to disrupt our relationship. Furthermore, it has been revealed to me that my contact information, was required to be disclosed to the government, presumably to begin directly harassing me. The SS did not contact the IMC directly in relation to this matter, but instead felt it prudent to put a strain on a place which we do business with. The agents attempted to circumvent Indymedia by contacting Calyx by phone, originally without a warrant or subpoena, in order to obtain user connection logs regarding a particular post on an Indymedia site. The post in question is a repost by an anonymous person containing information that is already available all over the Internet, and publicly available in other forms."

damn. they're cracking down. last week a buddy was planning a small poker party. 8 people. nothing big. maybe 200-400 bucks each... TOPS... and that's a stretch. he happened to tell one of his buddies about it on a blog. i was supposed to go but ended up getting sick so another guy went instead.
the place got raided and all their money was confiscated. no lie. he has a court date later next month. it was the fbi whatever gaming comission blah blah bullshit.
wtf?!? don't they have better things to do in chicago then raid a couple guys playin cards?!? no loud music, no noise... they just found out from the blog.
be careful.

That is the honest to God truth. His poker party was raided as an "illegal gambling establishment" like something from the fucking old Chicago mob days. I guess the back door was open to let air in and they just walked in and the first guy said while gun drawn "game over boys". After they said "you're lucky, if your door was locked we were going to smash it in... you pay the bill."
Unreal. One even had some weed on him and they tossed it aside and never mentioned it. My buddy said they didnt even care about it. Only that a few buddies were gambling small change.
Unreal. Thank God I got myself sick.

Kona, so is his blog popular or something? That's some mighty big nets the FBI is casting overthe introweb for a little blog.
- k0na_an0k0
Not sure what blog it was. May have even been chatter on Star Wars Galaxies.
He's a regular guy just like you and me and he really doesn't have any strong political views that he would go onto anti this or that blogs and post some crazy shit. I really don't know how they found out. He just said he mentioned it 'online' to one of his buddies on a blog and the next thing he knew there were 10 agents with guns in his kitchen.

Nope. Absolutely true. I really think he's going to be fucked. All 8 of them have to go to court and all their money was taken. Even the shit they weren't gambling with.
- unfittoprint0
kona, that shit's true?
That type of arrests happened to a lot of my relatives with Portugal's own SS, PIDE.
But that was when my country lived under Salazar's fascist regime, before 1974.
jesus.

right now, hundreds of protesters are being arrested downtown one by one after being blocked in in pens.
- k0na_an0k0
well YEAH... cause they aren't supposed to be within 3 blocks of the event, just like at the dems party. These peeps are way to close and some/most don't have permits.

kona, was it in Chicago and were Chicago PD involved? There's a site where you can look up crime reports, might be on there:
http://12.17.79.6/ctznicam/ctzni…
I love that site, good data for moving to a new apartment.

sounds like one of your boys is a snitch or the po po got everything on lock but then again how come they don't find the fanatics who preach jeehaad (donkey voiceover) on their websites?

oh shit, im gonna have a poker game tonight, are they gonna come?
oh shit, why did i just type that!
oh shit, my door is locked!
oh shit, i have to pay for that bill!

No way... this would present an AWESOME opportunity to do some prankstering.
If you knew a blog was being watched... you could set up a "poker game" and do it ALA Home Alone... with moving dummies and voices being played on tape or something. Then as you watch from across the street with your VIDEO camera... and surveilance inhouse (webcam etc) you could get it all on camera for the family albums! ha ha ha " raiders of the lost card".
that would be sick! although given I'm one to not push my luck I don't think I'd ever do it.
plus I'm guessing Jesus wouldn't have done it either...
