....hate to be off-the-wall here, but i just have to say it...

amazing that this guy is getting all this heat. even more astounding is the possible sentence this man faces for hacking into a computer....

meanwhile....child abusers (of all types) are slapped on the wrist daily and walking away with meager sentences....

I suspect that he will eventually plea to the charges and spend sometime in a federal prison, before being send back to the UK, after they have made a sufficient example of him. The vast majority of all criminal and civil cases resolve by pleas and settlements--80 to 90% or so of all cases end this way.

In the relatively unlikely event that he does go to trial, I doubt very much that the court will permit any evidence of the contents of the computers and the substance of what Gary claims to have found to be admitted into evidence. Indeed, before trial the prosecution will most likely obtain an order from the judge excluding any such evidence on the ground that it is irrelevant. They will do this by way of a motion in limne. Such a motion is filed by litigants asking the court to exclude evidence that is irrelevant, immaterial, cumulative, or unduly prejudicial in the sense that it appeals to passion, prejudice and bias, rather than sense and reason.

I have not looked at the laws under which he is charged, but I will bet you that the "crimes" he is charged with committing are committed by the act of hacking, and in no way is guilt or innocence a function of what you find when you hack. (Think about that for a minute.) Thus, what is found will be ruled irrelevant to establish the elements of the crime or any defenses thereto, and the federal judge (his case will be or already is in federal court) will rule that any such evidence is inadmissible.

For that reason no one, including Dan Burich, will be permitted to testify as to what Gary found in the computers nor give any factual testimony or expert opinion as to the truth or falsity of the contents of the computers.

The powers-that-be will, therefore, have no need to keep the media out of the trial, or assert national security, state secrects or some other legal fiction to keep the truth concerning the contents of the computers out of evidence, because the court will not permit the contents or substance of what Gary discovered in the computers into evidence, having determined that it is irrelevant to prove the elements of the crime or to prove Gary's innocence.

I'm sorry folks but, in my humble opinion, Gary's case will not provide the opportunity to prove that the government engages in black ops or is aware of extraterrestrial life forms who are in contact with we mere and mortal Earthlings, any more than the few cases filed by family members of the victims of 9/11 proved that 9/11 was an inside job. Albeit, the reasons the latter cases failed to get to the truth of 9/11 (immunity, failure to state a calim etc...) are different than why Gary's case will fail to get to the truth about alien life forms and visitations or government black ops.

Proxy server trail leads FBI to Palin email hacker

By Humphrey Cheung
Friday, September 19, 2008 21:44

Anchorage (Alaska) – FBI agents are using proxy server logs to track down the hacker who broke into Sarah Palin’s Yahoo email account. The hacker gained access to the Republican Vice Presidential candidate’s account by resetting the password. He then posted details of his adventures up on a popular online forum, but that information is now leading reporters and federal investigators to the suspect – a Tennessee university college student and son of state democratic representative Mike Kernell.

A few days ago, someone going by the name of “Rubico” gloated on 4chan.org that he managed to hack into Sarah Palin’s Yahoo account. He forced a password reset by answering questions about Palin’s birthdate, zip code and where she met her spouse, Wasilla High School. Of course, by being the Republican candidate for Vice President, this information is all very easily found on the Internet. After answering the questions, Rubico reset the password to “popcorn” and read through Palin’s emails.

And it seems he was pretty thorough, saying he read, “ALL OF THEM” on the boards. He even posted up screenshots of the Yahoo email page, complete with the full URL (we’ll talk about that later). Rubico says he didn’t find anything incriminating and the emails were actually fairly mundane family pictures and correspondence. But his jubilation turned into horror as he realized that he didn’t take proper precautions in covering his tracks.

Rubico used a proxy server that shields the source IP address from website logging scripts. While this sounds great, Rubico posted, “Yes I was behind a proxy, only one, if this sh** ever got to the FBI I was FU****”

In his gloating, Rubico posted up screenshots of the Yahoo account complete with the full URL which included the proxy server url (ctunnel.com) appended with a unique identifier. For example, we used ctunnel.com to surf to YouTube and the URL reads - http://ctunnel.com/index.php/1010110...ebe14f44221026. So it doesn’t take a genius to go through the logs and match up the ID to the appropriate IP address and BAM, you got the hacker.

But aren’t proxy servers supposed to anonymize your information? Yes and no. Dan Goodin over at The Register talked to Gabriel Ramuglia, the owner of the ctunnel.com proxy server that Rubico allegedly used. Ramuglia is upset about the ordeal because his service was never meant to be used for illegal activies and says Rubico definitely broke his site’s terms of service. Ramuglia added that every incoming IP address is logged with the time and destination website.

Ramuglia told Goodin that he hasn’t a chance yet to examine his logs, but added that there is a good chance that it will lead to the hacker. Since the interview, he’s received a call from the Anchorage Alaska FBI field office and agents there are highly suggesting that he not lose the logs.

But it gets even better. White hat hackers didn’t even need proxy information to find the culprit because they discovered that the Rubico forum handle was linked to rubico10@yahoo.com.This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it A few searches on Google and YouTube further links this email address to 20-year-old David Kernell, a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. His father is Democratic Tennessee state representative Mike Kernell.

As you can expect, the Yahoo account has been frozen and all the incriminating forum posts on 4chan.org have been deleted. But this didn’t stop Wired.com from printing some of the posts. Don’t you just love it when hackers brag about the “leet” skills?

http://www.tgdaily.com/index2.php?op...e=0&Itemid=108

================================================== =

So...this guy was looking for dirt on Palin.

Since she is an evil Republican, this is okay....right?

What if it was Barrack who was hacked?

What if it was you?

What if it was Project Camelot?

Many will say that Project camelot was hacked many times.

This could be true.

So do we really want to validate this, by saying that since the PtB did it first, we are okay it retaliating?

Do we fight evil with evil?

Re: Poor Gary Mckinnon
 


Just my view:

but in many people there is a pronounced
suffering savior archetype.
These will stand out in front of tanks and raise a hand to
tyranny. Their contract before reincarnation here may well
be to be a suffering savior.

He cannot do it alone.

He needs people to keep him before the public eye or
his sacrifice will go in vain

If a mass support is kept going he will become martyr material
and TPTB will not disappear him . Tyranny does not want martyrs!
They can ignite rev ol ushun!

To really help him AND OURSELVES, keep his name and work circulating
across web. If not , and he becomes innocuous, it is easy to lose him
in the massive system of misnamed justice.

Send him kind words, keep his name on every forum, send emails ,
( eyes read them ) and generally let tyranny KNOW we will
follow him to his freedom.

This way he stands a chance of getting out before he rots!

This is how Ernst Zundel was saved from twenty years or more.

He was kept in fornt of the public moment by moment, day by day
from the day he was illegally arrested and kept incognito for
two weeks in a Tenessee sheriffs jail W/O any charges !

An international cadre of supporters screamed across the web
and even the insane courts of siun Germany would decide to stick
to the law and give him what that law stated, five years but no
time off for two years he sat in soiltary in Canada UNCHARGED
for ANY crime.
( he was eventually charged with a thought crime, denial of a hoax is
a thought crime in Germany and many other nations and Liberman and
his cohorts are trying to pass same law here in America ! )

This even tho so many kept his name in the faces of TPTB
He became an International HERO and martyr!

This is NOT what tyranny wanted to happen.

if we stand tall for Gary he will survive and be an ICON
for all of us who want to get free of tyranny.

He is a rev ol ush nerie of the first order !

re vol ushuns are ignited by FIREBRANDS who most often die
in that process and become LEGENDS

It is these very seemingly small events that re ignite the fighting
Spirit in we older persons and LIGHT IT IN THE YOUNGER ONES!

Creating rev ol ushun takes days, weeks, years ,to gather up enough
Spirit to stand up to the OGRE with a thousand weapons.


when that Spirit reaches its CRUX one sufferig savior will stand up
and be the catalyst that fires that shot to be heard and welcomed
round the world and across the web.

It MAY be GARY, it MAY be one who comes after, but as the
cycle ripens one will be.


TRUST NATURE, one will BE.


cycles overlapping cycles. and so it is...

I did not direct the questions at you and to be fair I don't recall you ever answering any of mine in the past.

But since you asked I will state this:

I think it is stupid to do anything, which involves breaking the law!
There are always creative ways to get to the truth without breaking the law!

However in the event that someone has been guided or misguided to do so,
and they have admitted to it (or partially have)
and have publicly admitted that what they have done was wrong,
I would like to see them judged PROPORTIONATELY AND FAIRLY!

I wish someone will judicially review the UK government in the high court for their decision to engage in a non reciprocal extradition treaty and especially their agreement to wave off any need for EVIDENCE before shipping their citizens off to a country that practice torture, trauma based mind control, radiation experiments... Shell I go on?

It is not what the persecutors PROMISSED Gary - that is for sure!

Because no hacker has even gotten anything beyond 10 years....99% are under 5 years.

How would Gary know if he caused damage or not?

What about the damage you are said to have caused?

McKinnon: What they call damage is really just them realizing that they have been accessed without authorization. Then they say things like I deleted 300 users, deleted systems files and such. That was one instance when I did a batch file to clean up all my stuff--I think once and only once, though perhaps I ran it on the root drive of the "c:" drive. But it certainly wasn't every machine I was on and, if you believe them, they talk about 94 networks being damaged.

http://news.cnet.com/Gary-McKinnon-S...3-5786782.html
***************************************

McKinnon unearthed unprotected computer systems operated by the US army, the navy, the Pentagon and Nasa. On every system he hacked, he left messages. 'It was frightening because they had little or no security,' he said. 'I was always leaving messages on the desktop saying, "your security is really crap".'

One message has come back to haunt him. 'I said US foreign policy was akin to government-sponsored terrorism and I believed 9/11 was an inside job. It was a political diatribe,' he admitted.

Back to Zorgon's earlier post...
I gave the following somethought

Quote:

Look... the internet WE use was designed by DARPA and then given to the public because they had something BETTER... there is NO WAY to access the Secret stuff from the regular internet... ONLY if some idiot took some work 'home' with him and stored it on a PC at work would you find anything... and you can bet THAT person is in Gitmo And that would be an internal matter... you would NEVER see it on the news...

The OTHER nets are...

NIPRNET... for below top secret but sensitive and confidential traffic
SIPRNET... for secret
We are being told by the prosecution where they claim he has been, which includes Nasa, the Army and the Navy among others. I assume some within those, are using the internet or using the internet as well as the other secure networks. Maybe both from the same machines. Which would explain how Gary might have hopped from one network to another and eventually stumbled on what he claims to have seen.

Here is someone else deliberating this and other issues


http://ufo-evidence.com/

Gary McKinnon Loses European Appeal

No big surprise that Gary McKinnon has lost his appeal to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, which has refused to hear the appeal.

Articles covering this have McKinnon listed as a, “Computer Expert” which is a term he vehemently rejects, describing himself more as a stoner come truth-seeker.

Surely this description is more damaging to the public perception of the US military and NASA whom have apparently allowed a stoner with a Perl script access to their most frequently denied secret, i.e. prior knowledge to/and first hand experience of the UFO/ETH phenomenon.

Perhaps the UFO was an ‘elaboration’ by McKinnon?

Personally I struggle to see the rationale involved if that was the case as surely the last thing Gary needs is people (often on) the fringe of the UFO community lobbying for his freedom. All of which makes it quite a strange case in itself, add to that the refusal of the US to allow Gary to be tried in the UK (which let’s face it for all intents & purposes was where the crime was committed) and I can’t help but wonder why the US haven’t swept this under the carpet rather than allow it to drag out and turn into the media circus that it is inevitably becoming.

Surely regardless of what punishment the US judge deems fit to bestow it can only be unwanted publicity further highlighting the weakness of the computer systems and the amateurish personnel charged with defending some of the countries most delicate secrets (UFO/ETH related or not).

I believe there is a little more going on than is immediately apparent but I’m hesitant to state my opinion at this juncture other than to reiterate my puzzlement at how the US is allowing itself to be publicly perceived as little more than petty bureaucrats intent on proving a point. And in doing so is instilling/reinforcing distrust in an already apprehensive public regarding their general modus operandi as it relates to handling secret information, and it’s an MO that ultimately exposes their massive negligence and incompetence as it directly relates to locking even the simplest ‘backdoor’ into their highly sensitive network.

If the system is as corrupt as it seems why should a citizen be squeaky clean and obey?surely exposing the corruption is a higher purpose.

Its a different set of rules for the rulers -they just do what they want.

Wonder if the extradition receipts come back at $700 billion?

The UK gov handed over Gary when they know the States is being run by crooks/war mongers/terrorists and blasphemers.What does that say?
"God bless America?" -God help us from America/n law/lawyers.

To all the posts on Garys side "tob job"
Poor Garys' mum ,keep going.
The idea for the thread was to get a little bit of empathy for Gary.
I liked the way he came across in the interviews.
To put him in jail is a crime in it's self ,is he a danger ?
is it worth the expense?
NO send him home to his family .

Hey yeah...great post....maybe we should all stop paying our mortgages, since it only supports the evil PtB.

Hacking is not a crime, just as long as it is for ufo's.....or whatever we can make up.

Good luck UFO vigilantes!

No wonder we are considered the fringe, and are never taken seriously.

I am sorry for Gary and his family....6mos in jail would have been horrible.

Gary has one person to blame, himself.

That is just it. HE DIDN'T! Throughout all the legal comings and goings till this moment, all that was discussed in the courts is the law itself.

Gary was accused, his crimes alleged, but NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER WAS SUBMITTED and he had not once the chance to refute it!

The questions the court system was deliberating was: should Gary be extradited under the new extradition treaty, which by the way, was only ratified by both sides in 2007. So while most of these legal steps dealing with this point were going on, the treaty was only sighed by the UK.


Like a lamb to the slaughter....

A vindictive sort of justice

The US authorities are so desperate to extradite my son that they have changed the law. Now he faces 60 years in jail

Article history

Any day now, my son, Gary McKinnon, could face extradition from Britain to the United States, where he would stand trial for hacking into US government computers and could face a sentence of up to 60 years.
Gary has recently been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, which is why I and his family and his many friends and supporters around the world are arguing that he should be allowed to stay in the UK and face the courts in the country where the offence – if offence there was – was committed.
The US authorities waited two years to call for Gary's arrest because of a then-unratified, unsigned extradition treaty between the two countries, which would make it easier for them to have a British citizen sent for trial in the US. Yet, when he was first arrested in London, six years ago now, Gary was told he would probably get a sentence of community service for his hacking activities.
He naively admitted computer misuse before he had engaged a lawyer and without a lawyer even being present. We were still unaware at that time that he had Asperger's syndrome.
Gary gained no leniency for his honesty and on the contrary, his extradition has been relentlessly pursued by the British and American authorities, despite the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) declining to prosecute him in Britain. This attitude will hardly encourage British citizens to come clean regarding any crimes they may have committed. If no leniency or consideration is given when a person accused of a crime immediately and openly tells the truth, there is little point in them admitting to anything.
The CPS's decision not to to prosecute Gary here was clearly made to allow the Americans to arrest him two-and-a-half years later, once the one-sided extradition treaty was introduced and then made retrospective.
In addition, in order to indict Gary, the US authorities had to claim a specific amount of financial damage. Gary has always denied causing damage and without proof of such, the US could not prosecute him. Just a month ago the US prosecutors stated in an interview that once Gary was extradited, the most difficult thing to prove would be the damage!
Several weeks ago the goalposts were moved yet again when the US introduced a new law whereby no proof of damage was required where military computers were concerned. For the American law to then have been conveniently changed at such a crucial time does little to give us any faith in such a legal system.

There is a London demonstration outside the US embassy, scheduled for 4pm on September 28 in Grosvenor Square. See the campaign website for more details.

New YouTube video - An interview with Rasagy

An interview with Rasagy

In late September a group of concerned people came together outside the American Embassy in London, to highlight the plight of Gary McKinnon, recently confirmed as having Aspergers Syndrome, a form of Autism.
McKinnon faces extradition to the USA for alleged damage to various computer systems operated by the US military.
The demonstration was organised by the London Autistic Rights Movement, to highlight that Aspergers Syndrome is considered a disability, and as such no extradition should even be considered.

Gary McKinnon Case
 
I wanted to give my personal opinion on this case.

I feel the facts are going to come out regarding the secret space program Anyway. I feel our government does not want them released in this manner at this time. I think all the facts will come out when the timing is correct. Right now we need to get ready for the orchestrated global financial collapse. I believe this is a carefully constructed positive plan that is happening now in steps. Also, What happens with the presidency will be very interesting as well.

I think Gary McKinnon won't do much time.
I would be very surprised if he does. If they really wanted to make a example out of him it would be much bigger headline news.

So what are your thoughts on this?
I'd love to hear some more personal opinions on this. :)


Peace,
Ampgod

Re: Gary McKinnon Case
 
People won't make a big story of him is because he does not want to.

If, as Kerry said, he stood up and said: NASA and the American Government has been lying to its people and taking all the Tax of the people to finance the Secret Space Program and hide the Existence of Extraterreestrials, watch how the story will turn out.

In my opinion, Kerry and Bill should concentrate deeply on that alternative because it might set Gary free if the lies are uncovered publicly.

Re: Gary McKinnon Case
 
I would think that the last thing the government wants at this point is a lot of publicity, that would get the public curious. Far better to spirit Gary away without too much fanfare, find out what he knows. try him and just let the media report want they want us to hear and then as Kerry suggested in another thread they can tighten up the laws on this kind of thing. I just hope for Gary's sake that it doesn't happen.
