Anonymous cracked? Hardly


'You mad bro?' Anonymous responds to exposure of FBI infiltration

Friday update from Anonymous on Twitter
"It looks like the LulzBoat is sailing again: This was to be expected. Retired and angry pirates have been woken."
Anonymous hacktivists, posting on Twitter, say the revelation that ‘Sabu’ has been an FBI informant since last summer will not stop the hacktivists. Further, the indictment of 'Sabu' reveals that the hacking of Stratfor global intelligence was done after the FBI was involved. The cache of 5 million Stratfor files was stored on an FBI computer.

'Sabu' cooperated with the FBI during the alleged hacker of the Stratfor files, which led to the arrest of Jeremy Hammond of Chicago. According to the FBI indictment (below) of Hammond, the FBI directed that a server be set up in New York to store the Stratfor files after those were hacked.

Meanwhile, Barrett Brown, journalist writing about Anonymous who often engaged in discussions online, said his home was raided by the FBI on Tuesday. Earlier, Brown obtained a book contract to write about Anonymous, and also announced that the cartels in Mexico would be a subject of hacking.

As I have noted, the FBI raided my apartment in Dallas on the morning of March 6th. I was not there at the time; I had been given a vague warning that a raid was to take place the next day, so I went to my mom's place, where she lives with her husband, who is out of town, on the 5th. On the morning of the 6th, three FBI agents came to my mom's door and asked if I was there. She woke me up and I went down to talk to them. They told me that they'd executed a search warrant at my apartment and that the door had been broken in the process, and then asked me if I had any laptops with me here at my mom's place that I wanted to give them. I responded in the negative, and they left."

In Brown's latest post, on Wednesday, Brown exposed this in a tweet: http://wiki.echelon2.org/wiki/Endgame_Systems and an hour later posted these names:
"Matthew Steckman, Eli Bingham, Aaron Barr."

Democracy Now's reported: "Lulzsec’s chief hacker was a 28-year-old now identified as Hector Xavier Monsegur, better known by his alias ‘Sabu.’ Apparently, Monsegur was caught last summer and — according to the FBI — has been working as an informant ever since. He allegedly directed fellow hackers from his public housing project in New York while turning around and feeding federal investigators enough incriminating evidence to build a case against his cyber-comrades.”

The Gawker's coverage of Sabu's arrest was not as kind.

The Guardian reported on Sabu's involvement in the hacking attack on the security company Stratfor, of which US citizen Jeremy Hammond is accused. “A cache of more than 5m emails taken from an attack on the company's servers in December 2011 is currently being published by Wiki Leaks, but the indictment documents reveal that straight after the attack, Sabu offered an FBI-owned server to store the cache – which was quickly accepted.”

In typical Anonymous humor, this tweet followed the rapid series of events today, referring to the FBI's role in the hacking of Stratfor: “Oh, by the way @Stratfor. How does it feel to get hacked and slaughtered by the FBI? Umad?”

Meanwhile, Brown is the subject of some of those hacked e-mails from Stratfor already released on Wikileaks Global Intelligence Files. Stratfor examined the role of Brown and Anonymous, and the dangers involved in targeting Mexico’s cartels with hacking.

Earlier, after announcing that Mexico's cartels would be targeted by hacking, Brown described on Twitter how he left his home in Dallas and went to New York, as his home address was exposed.

In Wednesday's tweets, Anonymous questioned if Brown has been taken into custody. Anonymous tweeted at noon, “Did the Feds raid and detain @BarrettBrownLOL AGAIN this morning? Rumours are flying."

Brown tweeted late Thursday, "I haven't been charged with anything."

Meanwhile, readers of the Global Intelligence Files were curious if Wikileaks would continue to publish Stratfor intelligence files now, knowing now that those files had been stored on an FBI computer.

Wikileaks continued to publish its daily releases of Stratfor e-mails.

Anonymous, pointing out there are no leaders, continued its hacktivism, targeting Vatican websites and another security company. Anonymous, in OP Palestine, also urged people to write and fax the companies (below) making white phosphorus and tell them to stop.

The Register reports, "Italian hackers affiliated with hacktivist collective Anonymous pushed the Vatican's website offline last night. The hack was in "retribution" for the child abuse scandals in the Catholic Church and Vatican-endorsed acts going back thousands of years, the group claimed in a message."

Anonymous hacked the antivirus security firm Panda in Spain, accusing Panda of assisting law enforcement with arrests in Spain and South America. Even Forbes carried the story.

Anonymous responded to Sabu in its statement about Panda. “Yeah yeah, we know, Sabu snitched on us. As usually happens FBI menaced him to take his sons away. We understand, but we were your family too. (Remember what you liked to say?)."

“It’s sad and we can’t imagine how it feels having to look at the mirror each morning and see there the guy who shopped their friends to police.”

Hammond, Jeremy Complaint

Debra White Plume: Oglala Lakota arrested at blockade




Oglala Lakota arrested at blockade

By Debra White Plume
Censored News

WANBLEE, S.D. -- On Monday, March 5 we were called by a lady from Wanblee village that was forced to pull completely off the highway as the huge semi-trucks hauling these enormous pieces of equipment took up the whole highway.



The two trucks were hauling equipment called "treater vessels" from Houston, Texas to Alberta Canada. These treater vessels arrived in Texas in August 2011 from South Korea. The papers the truck drivers gave us say that the treater vessels each were carrying or weighed 229,155 pounds each. The individual value of each vessel is $1,259,593.

The truck drivers said they were given their route by their headquarters in Canada. The route was worked out with the State of South Dakota, according to the truckers. They said they were told by South Dakota that if they go on the route they did they could avoid paying South Dakota the fee of $50,000 per truck, so they came down Highway 44 through Interior, Potato Creek and Wanblee.

Wanblee is where we set our blockade. Oglala Sioux Tribal Vice President Tom Poor Bear was with us. He called state government officials in Pierre and they verified that yes they gave that route to the corporation to cross Indian lands.

Apparently, the treater vessel is used to separate gas and oil and other elements. The device is also used to provide intense heat. Our Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council, along with the Oglala Sioux Tribe, have both passed legislation against the Keystone XL oil pipeline and have adopted the Mother Earth Accord which calls for a moratorium on the tar sands oil mine as destructive to water, Mother Earth, all animals and human beings. Whatever these treater vessels are and where ever they were going, they are much too huge, heavy and hazardous to be on our roads.

There were about 75 people at the blockade. Approximately 20 cars parked in front of the semi-trucks, who were accompanied by about a dozen pickups with flags displaying wide load warnings, etc. They also had their own electric trucks were traveling with them in order to push up the power lines in their path.

The trucks were too enormous to turn around. The tribal police arrested us as we did not want the trucks to proceed across our land. We were told the tribal police were going to escort the heavy haul caravan to the reservation border and direct them to the state highways.

Alex White Plume, Sr. and I, along with Sam Long Black Cat, Andrew Iron Shell, and Terrell Eugene Iron Shell were all arrested by the tribal police. We were all handcuffed and charged with disorderly conduct, as the police said there were no other charges to bring against us. We were taken to Kyle jail.

We stood our ground for our land, our treaty rights, our human rights to clean drinking water and our coming generations. We did this in solidarity with the First Nations people in Canada who are being killed by the tar sands oil mine, which is so big it can be seen from outer space, it is as big as the state of Florida.

OST Vice President Tom Poor Bear and Alex White Plume of the Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council stated they will work together to create enforceable laws that prevent any future heavy hauls of equipment through the Pine Ridge Reservation. President John Steele was in Washington, DC and the tribal council representatives for the Eagle Nest District where Wanblee is located could not be found.

The oldest person on the blockade was Marie Randall. Renabelle Bad Cob in her wheelchair was in the blockade as well. People from the village brought pots of soup, fry bread, cases of water, doughnuts, and coffee. Many stayed and participated in the blockade.

When the tribal police gave a warning to move off the highway or be arrested, five of us refused to give an inch. All five of us were arrested. Tribal attorney Sonny Richards was at the jail in Kyle and he did the paper work necessary to get us all released.

After we were released from the jail, there was a crowd of people waiting for us. They offered us soda pop and cigarettes. Several people had bond money ready to bond us out. They offered us rides home and that was fortunate because we did not have our cars there.

The truck drivers said they did not know they were crossing a Indian reservation, and would let their corporate office in Canada know that this was a route to avoid as there were road blocks set up to stop them.
