Is it possible that the US is actually starting to take notice?


"Two web activists, Slim Amamou and Azyz Amamy, have not been heard from since Thursday, sources in Tunisia told Al Jazeera." Reporters Without Borders has also reported that at least six (and likely more) activists and bloggers have been arrested or have "disappeared" throughout Tunisia. Rapper Hamada Ben-Amor was also taken from his home late on Thursday in response to a protest song titled "President, your people are dying".

The Department of Justice is reportedly requesting information from Icelandic parliament member Birgitta Jónsdóttir. She said via Twitter "just got this: Twitter has received legal process requesting information regarding your Twitter account in (relation to wikileaks)". The request is clearly for personal information and not just tweets. She apparently has "got 10 days to stop it via legal process before twitter hands it over."

I still have heard very little about anything that's going on regarding the situation in Tunisia from American news sources. Either they don't care, or they're too busy watching their precious Jersey Shore to take a second and look around. Why people don't care, I don't know.

This is happening.
This is what people are paying attention to.

And classic books are being censored too. Well we just live in a wonderful, jolly world, now don't we?

"You cannot waterdown us, there are too many of us."



"While the Anonymous self-imposed title of "Legion" may have seemed like little more than a cliché to the casual reader, the data indicate otherwise. And while popular headlines may suggest that "the world is at cyberwar with America" and other enemies of Wikileaks, the data show that a vast number of Americans are on board with Anonymous ideals. As numbers grow, use of the term "Legion" begins to look less like a metaphor than an accurate description."

Let's play the hypothetical game. Let's say that they do find every single person that has been involved in illegal Anonymous operations (although what is considered "illegal" may become a bit sketchy), what are they going to do with all of these people? In mid-December, LOIC downloads topped 43,000 IN ONE WEEK. Now these are probably not all being used in support of Anonymous, but either way that's going to be a lot of people. And there's no possible way to find everybody with proxies, VPNs, and everything that people will use to hide who they are. Supporters keep growing. Anonymous can't be stopped. And if it is, than a new Anonymous will just emerge from it. People will only be oppressed to a certain length before revolt becomes a must.


What Really Happened in Bil'in

This is a disturbing portrayal of a protest in Bil'in. Heavy tear gas (that appeared to be more powerful than normal) and violence at a clearly nonviolent protest.

Tunisian authorities blocked WikiLeaks and other sites that reference it. The Tuniasian government has had a "complete media blackout", by blocking popular sites such as Facebook, Youtube, and Google. Anonymous has already responded by attacking Tunisian government websites and leaving a message on www.pm.gov.tn. Tunileaks.appspot.com has been blocked, along with the Google App Engine IP address, which made appspot.com partially unavailable in the country. Al-Akhbar newspaper, a Lebanese publication, was also on the list of everything blocked after it had published several of the cables from the US Embassy in Tunisia and published them online. "So if you can read this post in Tunisia, it means Tunisian authorities haven’t yet gone on a Firewall frenzy. It means that Tunisian authorities haven’t resorted to putting up a cyber great-wall-of-China to block the world its citizens from getting access to some of its dirty laundry."

I'm not quite sure how smart an idea it is to post this, but this exists(I didn't make it, or find the info. Merely found the picture): 

On Saturday, many activists gathered in front of the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv to protest against the death of a Palestinian demonstrator in Bil'in who was killed after being exposed to tear gas. Police were acting violently towards the activists, with eight being arrested, including former Knesset member Musi Raz.The protesters were reportedly blocking off major roads and were acting violent toward the police officers.

In Budapest, Hungary a radio station is currently under investigation for playing a record by rapper Ice-T called "It's On", which violates new media laws. The controversial media laws went into effect on January 1, but The Media Authority has reportedly been monitoring radio stations throughout the country for the past few months.

Egypt, activism escalates, spurred by Tunisian riots and local violence.

tunisia uprising 

I would like to comment on one point. What is happening in Tunisia right now is an uprising and not a riot.In fact, it is the police which is terrorizing the people. '"

Uprising? Paranoia is in bloom, the PR transmissions will resume. They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down and hope that we should never see the truth around... I could keep going forever...
