SEEKING TO IDENTIFY (2#) -
# Attorneys for a convicted murderer said in court Wednesday that they want the IP addresses of everyone who accessed the web site of the newspaper... to see if any of the jurors who convicted her violated a court order not to read about the case.
# "Last month, an investigator at Kansas University delivered a search warrant to the Lawrence Journal-World, a highly regarded newspaper in Lawrence, Kansas, demanding access to their computer servers in order to get information about the identity of a user who had posted comments on the paper's website. The warrant, which appears to violate the federal Privacy Protection Act, raises serious concerns about governmental overreaching and highlights the need for adequate procedural protections for anonymous online speech."

BAD FAIRIES ON THE NET -
Doesn't Play Well With Others -
# According to ICANN, the Russian government wants to establish a Cyrillic Net, but Russian internet users fear being boxed in to a separate ghetto on the worldwide web, rendering them more vulnerable to government control, spying, and restrictions. [Viv Groskop]
# The Miami Herald's Bad Fairy
was out and about again last night, harassing visitors to register and refusing them entry if they declined to
follow orders . . .
The last time their Bad Fairy came out, Management claimed it was due to a software breakdown, but I did not believe them then and I don't believe it now.
I will not register under any circumstances; nor will I give them my email address or any other personal information about myself.
I just dropped by The Herald again a few minutes ago.
Their Bad Fairy is still harassing visitors.

GANGSTER LOCKED UP -
A Miami self-styled gangster man posted video of himself on YouTube which shows him brandishing an AK-47 and expressing a declaration of war. In the video, he seems to be taunting the local police to arrest him, but for no apparent reason.
Much of his behavior in the video didn't seem to make any sense, and I could only guess he may have been in an altered state of mind, messed up by chemicals, while he was performing for the camera.
Wednesday morning he was arrested by Federal authorities.
While executing a search warrant, they discovered what appeared to be the weapon displayed in the video, additional guns, and almost 800 rounds of ammunition.
He has been booked into the Federal Detention
Center in Miami.
I found this whole episode very troubling
for complex reasons.

SoFlo: UNDER SIEGE - (2#) -
Residents of South Florida are currently living here under siege. Terrorists, who are prosecuting a low-intensity guerilla war against us, are frequently seen running around, brandishing AK-47s or similar weapons. And they are clearly engaged in armed insurrection.
*Assault weapons are leaving a bloody trail of violence in South Florida... In Miami, assault weapons were used in about 4 percent of all homicides in 2004; last year, the figure was
21 percent...*
"The guns keep coming in, their prices are
dropping, and they've become ubiquitous.''
But many people are still in denial.
**********************************
*Florida is facing what is likely the nation's fastest-growing gang problem, with at least 1,500 gangs with more than 65,000 members.*
"They control neighborhoods and oppress
our citizens by using violence and threats."
*While painting a sordid picture of how gangs operate in Florida, using assault weapons and fists to intimidate, the 56-page report delivered to the state Supreme Court on Tuesday said gangs are growing at an "increasingly alarming" rate, and placed much of the blame on illegal immigration.*
+ In my opinion, they should be reclassified as terrorists and treated as such. The reason they are brandishing AK-47s is to terrorize people. And, by their own public admission, they are conducting a war against us.

EXPLORING THE DARK SIDE -
A Role-Playing Game Turned Deadly?
American college student Amanda Knox is a key suspect in the murder of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, last November 1 in Perugia, Italy.
*Precisely how an attractive, gifted, wholesome American student found herself at the heart of a particularly sordid and brutal murder has yet to be established by prosecutors and the police.*
Could it have anything to do with this?
In December 2006, Amanda Knox posted a short story on M*Space in which a young woman is drugged and raped by another young woman. One passage reads: "She fell on the floor, she felt the blood on her mouth and swallowed it."
According to the autopsy report:
*Kercher was stabbed three times in the neck. The last and deepest thrust missed her carotid artery, but Kercher is believed to have been in agony for about 10 minutes before bleeding to death.*
I have been following this case and have formed the impression that this scenario may have started out as a kind of Role-Playing Game based on the widely popular TV shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel or, perhaps, the Anne Rice books and movies about Vampires - until the game turned deadly.
For most youngsters these TV shows, books and movies are harmless fantasy forms of entertainment; but for other young people who have some serious problems, they can provide a vehicle to explore taboo endeavors like vampirism or even murder as exciting adventures.
*John Follain spent two months in Italy and Seattle finding out the truth about Amanda Knox.*
Mr Follain has done an excellent job as an investigative journalist in this extensive article. And the presentation here is quite comprehensive.

SoFlo: POCKET POOCH THEFT -
Where I come from, there used to be two basic
kinds of dogs: bench and field. But not anymore . . .
The inflation of the Condo Bubble has left a similar effect in its wake. With the rise in number of condo residents in the area, there has been a rise in small dogs which are allowed to live in those buildings and an expanded number of merchants catering to the increased demand for that type of dog. These dogs now typically sell for approximately $1,500 to $3,000, making them more attractive to thieves who intend to resell them.
But the current price can also inflate the crime category for perpetrators who are not thieves, but are, instead, people with emotional problems.
Local animal shelters often have chihuahuas for adoption, so that it is really not necessary to steal one. Yet the theft of these Micro Pups has become a regular and ongoing item in SoFlo news.
It will be interesting to see if the end of the Condo Bubble will end the drive to continue miniaturizing these dogs, which most vets tell us is not so good for the doggies' health. They are cute, but the smaller they get, the more delicate they get, which makes their health all the more fragile.

Prez Bush begins a landmark

It included an appeal to greet Prez Bush with"bombs and traps" during his imminent visit to the Middle East.
Jerusalem has been stepping up security for Prez Bush's visit; they seem to be making use of a lot of confusing decoys.
Meanwhile, Gadahn and his messages have been irritating a lot of people, especially very vocal Americans with access to the Internet, as France24 duly notes.
And, as if the production of pompous, self-important trashtalkin' videos were not enough, the Qaeda Cult is now generating corporate swag (!) decorated with their media channel's designer emblem "bug."
