(Nov. 18, 2011) Anonymous said today it has hacked the e-mails of a Department of Justice special investigator, which contained messages from ex-wives and girlfriends, and "man seeking woman" responses on Craig's List.

"As part of our ongoing effort to expose and humiliate our white hat enemies, we targeted a Special Agent Supervisor of the CA Department of Justice in charge of computer crime investigations. We are leaking over 38,000 private emails which contain detailed computer forensics techniques, investigation protocols as well as highly embarrassing personal information. We are confident these gifts will bring smiles to the faces of our black hat brothers and sisters(especially those who have been targeted by these scurvy dogs) while also making a mockery of 'security professionals' who whore their 'skills' to law enforcement to protect tyrannical corporativism and the status quo we aim to destroy," Anonymous said.

After naming the agent, Anonymous said, "We lulzed as we listened to angry voicemails from his estranged wives and ex-girlfriends while also reading his conversations with girls who responded to his 'man seeking woman; craigslist ads. We turned on his google web history and watched him look up linux command line basics, golfing tutorials, and terrible youtube music videos. We also abused his google
voice account, making sure Fred's friends and family knew how hard he was owned."

Also today, Anonymous announced it has disabled the website of the International Association of Computer Information Systems.

The announcement says, "cops.org/iacis.com - TANGO DOWN. For the continued distribution of Law Enforcement instructional materials and  propaganda."

Anonymous continued its releases on Friday of law enforcement documents, following the repeated police beatings and shootings with rubber bullets and bean bags across the United States, including attacks on peaceful protesters at the Occupy sites in Oakland, Berkeley, Denver, Portland and New York City. The police violence has been documented in videos and photographs.

Anonymous said on Friday, "IACIS just shut down its mailing list and urged its users to changed passwords. Though the issue is http://cops.org being rooted."

The IACIS website was offline Friday morning.

On Friday, Anonymous released more law enforcement related documents. Earlier Anonymous identified police officers involved in violence against the Occupy movement.

Today's release includes this document and begins with this statement: "Snoop on to them as they snoop on to us."

Anonymous also released this comment Friday morning, "Good day ladies and gentlemen, we are today's entertainment."

Earlier, Anonymous released a list of police officers, with photos, who beat University of California-Berkeley students. The Alameda Sheriff's Department beat young women in the stomachs with their batons.

The repeated and savage attacks by Denver police on the Occupy movements also led to exposures there.

In one document, Anonymous said a Denver Police officer stopped veterans in a van because they donated to the Occupy movement. Anonymous said Officer Brian Klaus, Badge no 0409, Officer District 6, Denver Police Department was identified by his business card.

The release states, "Business cards that Officer Klaus and his partner Officer Lang gave me on Nov.15 2011 after giving 2 Vietnam veterans tickets for giving Occupy Denver donations around." Read more: http://cabincr3w.tumblr.com/post/12839474109/d0x-on-brian-klaus

On Friday, Anonymous also turned its sights on police in Portland, Oregon, for abuse of protesters during the National Day of Action:

On Friday, Anonymous was seeking to identify the police officer in Portland responsible for the abuse in the photo.

From the Oregonian:
By Randy L. Rasmussen, The Oregonian
PORTLAND, OREGON -- November 17, 2011 -- A police officer deployed pepper spray at SW Yamhill, between the JP Morgan Chase bank and Pioneer Courthouse Square. The photo was taken from the southeast corner of the square, looking toward the intersection of 6th and Yamhill after a day of marching through downtown Portland, Ore., by Occupy Portland participants.

In other news, a New York Police Department officer pushed a New York Supreme Court Judge against the wall and threatened her with arrest:

My office isn't far from Zuccotti Park and when I heard it was being cleared I went down with my camera. I ended up filming for 18 hours until the Park was reopened at 6pm on November 15, 2011. The police presence was overwhelming, more than I've ever seen - more than during the blackout, more than the days after September 11th.

'Nazi' book destroyers strike Occupy Wall Street AGAIN





Occupy Wall Street librarians with new books again


NYPD and Brookfield seize People's Library AGAIN


By XENI JARDIN/Boing Boing Net
(Nov. 17, 2011) NEW YORK -- "NYPD and Brookfield have taken the People's Library again and we love you all," tweet the Occupy Wall Street librarians of Zuccotti Park.
They also raided all the energy bars, waters, and snacks from the re-created library, and threw them away, too. This is not the first time.
Then, shortly after: "A few of our awesome librarians holding up new donations just after NYPD and Brookfield workers took our books tonight."
The librarians are restocking, in case you'd like to donate.
And for those new to the story, Brookfield is the owner of Zuccotti Park, a central site in the two-month-old global Occupy movement. Participants in the OWS protest at Zuccotti set up a book-sharing site, a library of sorts, and both the structure and the 5,000 books it contained were destroyed by the police earlier this week.
"Books are apparently the crosses and garlic of the evil vampire squid," tweets "bookmaker" Kate Black.
"Porn star Sasha Grey reads to children while the NYPD throws books in the trash," sayscomedian Rob Delaney. "Inhale that, America."

Occupy Denver Day of Action Nov. 17, 2011

N17 Day of Action
24 hours of protest

First Rally: Noon at Municipal Building @ 201 West Colfax Avenue
Second Rally: 6PM @ The Greek Ampitheatre in Civic Center Park

OCCUPY DENVER
November 17: 60 Days of Action
We have reached a pivotal moment in history, as we find ourselves on the threshold of a great and lasting change. We at Occupy Denver stand in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and all occupations across the country and around the world. The accelerated and coordinated efforts to destroy the Occupy movement, evidenced by the forceful actions taken against the occupiers in Zucotti Park and other cities, are confirmation that the Occupy movement is working.
These actions will not stop us; they will only make us stronger. This has brought us to the precipice of tremendous change, a change for the better. We believe and know what is right and good and thus we will take that next step.
The Occupy movement stands in sharp contrast to the forces that are being marshaled against us. When they use force, we use nonviolence. When they try to isolate us, we build community. When they move against us, we call for peace and cooperation.
Together, we are standing up and speaking out for the rights guaranteed by our Constitution: the right of free assembly, the right of free speech, the right of free press. We affirm that all people are created equal and have the right to share in the prosperity of our great nation. Without such rights, then what have we? We are committed to ending the corruption of our government and restoring political power to the people. We believe that our country, and our world, can be a better place and that we must work together to make this happen. To those already standing with us: we ask that you continue to stand strong. You are making the difference. To all the rest: we need for you to join us. We need individuals and organizations from every corner of the country to join the Occupy movement now.
We call upon you who have been silent: Speak and be heard.
We call upon you who have not stood up for what you believe in: Stand and be seen.
We call upon you who have yet to put your needs on paper. Write and be counted.
Make the difference and bring about the change you want to see! Join us at noon tomorrow, November 17, at Civic Center Park as we celebrate the two month anniversary of Occupy Wall Street and the nearly 2,000 Occupy movements that have sprung up around the world. There has been a coordinated effort to silence the voices of the 99%, Mayor Hancock and the Denver Police Department are scared of an awakened populace. We will call attention to the Mayor’s decision to violently crackdown on Occupy Denver. We will present alternatives and show the contrast with other communities around the country and how their local governments have supported the 99% rather than attempt to silence the voice of their constituents. There will then be a 6 p.m. rally at Occupy Denver after which we will conduct a General Assembly where we will discuss the Occupy movement as a whole and how we should progress over the coming months. So come out, have your voices heard and once again stand up for freedom, for justice, and for the future of our world. United we stand!
