Comment on Tim Harris Speaks of Revolution by stuartbramhall

You left out the assassination in Seattle in 1981 of the Filipino organizers for the cannery workers union Domingo and Viernes. The assassination was organized jointly by the FBI and Marcos agents. The Committee for Justice for Domingo and Viernes sued the US government and during discovery, uncovered documents revealing that the FBI had infiltrated the union and essentially orchestrated the assassination – though Marcos agents filed the actual shots. As in the case of the assassination of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton, the US government quietly settled with the families rather than allowing it to go to court.

I write about this and my own close encounter with the seamier side of US intelligence (related to 30 years of grassroots political organizing in Seattle between 1983 and 2002) in my recent memoir: THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY ACT: MEMOIR OF AN AMERICAN REFUGEE (www.stuartbramhall.com). I currently live in exile in New Zealand.

But from time to time I have be stricken to allow that the fit domain is an enigma, a innocuous poser that is made rueful on our own fuming assault to spell out it as allowing it had an underlying truth.

Comment on Arcata Cops Gone Wild by Dignity Advocate

Dignity Advocate — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 07:14:57 +0000

Dear This Way Up,

Stories like this get me so riled up!

We have a major problem here in Portland too — having to do with the criminalization of homelessness (with anti-camping law here, etc.), and this helps reinforce attitudes among some bullying cops here that ‘the homeless got it comin.’

Glad for your writing here. The poorest of the poor need defenders daily! They also need housing and green work opportunities!

Comment on Syn-Tax or Sin Tax by constituant

constituant — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:42:37 +0000

I’m just beginning to research the history or development of the sin-tax. My question is where’s the cap on this tax?! I also would like to see some financial’s for the $ the state has and will receive. I’ll continue looking. I also want to know what can be done, legally, against the state for this outrageous and very discriminatory tax. Thanks!

Comment on Example to be made from Harassment by trackthehack

Yeah… 218.23.53.228 tried to get in my stuff. My computer was compromised recently and I had to remove it… Scarry stuff, I have spent the last couple days changing all my passwords and working from another computer. I am become more aware of these threats and do not like it.

One other thing… immediately after the attempt was blocked several other IP addresses sent various different requests to the destination computer. I am taking this seriously and have locked down my computer, using firefox, script controll now and only reputable sights on the computer as if they compromised my acounts I would not be liking it.

SiteTheory had this to say about the IP:

Analysis: Possible MS Baster or various other Worm Attack

06:12:16 Host: 2.b2.374a.static.theplanet.com/74.55.178.2
Port: 1433 TCP Blocked
Analysis: Probable Scan for MS SQL Server – Most likely malicious
_____________________________

SANS institute says about the IP listed above: see detailed sans results below my ZoneAlarm output.

Reports: 91384 (how many people have reported it.

Targets: 55345

That is how I found this forum, after googling a firewall blocked attempt on my computer. Read all this as the most interesting information did not come from zone alarm…

I searched the net for the IP address and came up with the info below the zonealarm report. Here is the search string. Please not that I have replaced the whois email address with “xxx” so that these entities are not spammed though if yo want to see the data just follow think.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=218.23.53.228&btnG=Search

ZoneAlarm blocked and provided the following information

11-22-2008 Firewall TCP (Flag:S) Source 218.23.53.228 (TCP Port 6000) to 76.22.58.xxx (TCP Port 2967) was blocked medium

ZoneAlarm Security Suite has blocked access to port 2967 on your computer

ZoneAlarm Security Suite has successfully stopped local network or Internet traffic from reaching your computer. No breach in your security has occurred. Your computer is safe.

What happened?

ZoneAlarm Security Suite blocked traffic to port 2967 on your machine from port 6000 on a remote computer whose IP address is 218.23.53.228. This communication attempt may have been a port scan, or simply one of the millions of unsolicited commercial or network control messages that are routinely sent out over the Internet. Such unsolicited messages are often called Internet background noise.

Should I be concerned?

This alert should not be a cause for concern. ZoneAlarm Security Suite has protected your machine according to the firewall settings you have selected.

What should I do?

You do not need to do anything about this alert unless one of your programs is not functioning correctly or is unable to complete a task. In that case, you can temporarily lower your security level to medium to allow traffic to reach your computer. . Additional Program configuration options can be found in the help files.

he most common cause of this alert is that ZoneAlarm Security Suite may not be configured properly to allow traffic through the firewall. Please refer to the help files for information on configuring programs to function correctly with ZoneAlarm Security Suite. Possible explanations for the alert include:

* The communication may have been a legitimate attempt by your ISP, a mail server, or another service attempting to authenticate your IP address or host name.

* The ZoneAlarm Security Suite Internet Lock may be engaged

* There may be excessive network congestion or other network problems that prevent information from being transmitted completely and correctly.

Details about 218.23.53.228, the IP address of the computer that caused the alert you received from ZoneAlarm Security Suite, are provided in the Whois report below. The information in the Whois report comes from the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the region where 218.23.53.228 is located: ARIN, RIPE, LACNIC or APNIC. The name of the RIR appears in the Whois report.

The Whois report includes the name, address and contact information for the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that administers the block of IP addresses that contains 218.23.53.228. The report probably does not list the administrator of the specific computer at IP address 218.23.53.228.

You should not assume that individuals listed in this report are responsible for the alert you received on your computer.

Note: This data is updated periodially. In order to refresh the data, click here. Not all source IPs in our database are “attackers”. There are a few common false positives. For example, hosts that participate in P2P networks, mail servers and DNS servers are some of the most common issues. You can see more details if you click on the number of reports. This may allow you to conclude if a host is a false positive or not.
