FBI Demands Logs From Radical Website
sunbird writes "The details are as yet unclear due to a gag order, but apparently the FBI is once again demanding IP logs from dissident webservers. The sysadmin for flag.blackened.net, best known for hosting infoshop.org and the Anarchist FAQ has responded to an FBI request for server logs. Although he cannot reveal the details of the request due to the gag order, the sysadmin has issued an informal press release discussing his reasons for turning over the information.

If you're an extremist (left or right), you should expect that eventually you will receive an extreme response.
You're a good little citizen, aren't you? These guys disagree with the gov't, so they deserve what they get huh? Fuck you. Nobody deserves to have the FBI snooping around their computers unless you're planning on committing, say, mass murder. So fuck you and your group think. Nobody in the US should have to worry about what they say. That's what this country is founded on. Free speech without fear of reprisal. So again, fuck you.
I don't respond to AC's.
Right, because it's impossible to do propaganda by the deed without breaking the law. Perfectly reasonable. I don't know what I was worried about.
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
As always, I'd like to point out that our Federal Government is far outside of its Constitutionally granted powers, roles, and responsibilities. I support a strict reading of the Constitution with the 9th and 10th Amendments intact. Congress likes to legitimize its right to do whatever it pleases by invoking its power to regulate interstate commerce. I'd like to point out that the 9th and 10th Amendments specifically address this political trick in the verbage "...the enumeration of the Constitution shall not...".
For those who wish to argue I ask,"Where does it end?" If you don't support a strict interpretation of the Constitution then what can't be legitimized by the enumeration of the power to regulate interstate commerce?
Face it. The USA as a democratically elected Constitutional Republic is a fraud. The document exists, but the institution quit playing by the rules as of the first meeting of Congress. What we have is a democratically elected banana republic which has no true charter. There is no existing document which legitimately grants our current federal government the scope of powers that it currently exercises.
I guess that makes it a democratically elected fascist state functioning no differently from the corrupt implementations of communism and socialism that dominate Eastern Europe.
fast as fast can be. you'll never catch me.
