3. Looks like the FBI are involved in the case. Good Bust Their Cowardly
Asses!

-Snip-

On Thursday, 7 October around 18 GMT two Indymedia servers hosted by Rackspace in the UK went down. The servers (ahimsa) host the sites of more then 20 local collectives, radio streams for several radio stations, BLAG (a GNU/Linux distribution as well as miscellaneous other projects. Indymedia was not informed prior to this action, nor have we been given any information why the hardware was taken, by whom and who holds it now. Indymedia issued a press release that has been taken up globally. It was followed by a lot of speculations worldwide on the reasons. The next day, 8 October Rackspace stated that they responded to a "Commissioner's subpoena". "Rackspace is acting as a good corporate citizen and is cooperating with international law enforcement authorities. The court prohibits Rackspace from commenting further on this matter."
Indymedia failed to get information from authorities in the US and the UK.
According to an AFP report, published on 8 October, "the FBI acknowledged that a subpoena had been issued but said it was at the request of Italian and Swiss authorities. 'It is not an FBI operation,' FBI spokesman Joe Parris told AFP." Indymedia could not get direct confirmation of this statements.

5. g00ns message, and the irony therein
"You have lied to the American People over and over again. You attend The Fifth Hope and spread your wicked ideology there. Expect more of this.
American Imperialism is non-existent. Our soldiers are dying over sees to give men, women, and children a taste of freedom and you call them imperialists. You are nothing but pigs. You are not against Bush you are against Republicans, you are against anyone who has a different opinion and way of thinking than you. Your box got rooted for lying to the American people. Here are some fun things for the visitors:"

the statement in bold is quite ironic, given that indy media did nothing to g00ns, yet g00ns felt justified in telling indy media how much they 'hate' by destroying their property.

That's a classic example of that rethug (ill)logic.

6. So they're smart enough to hack a server, but can't spell "overseas"

"Our soldiers are dying over sees to give men, women, and children a taste of freedom and you call them imperialists."

:rofl:

You have heard of us and you are curious and want to find out more or you have been directed here by some other means and you wish to know what the hell is going on. If you are here for the first reason then all we can say is you may remain curious. There is no info here nor will there be. We are not here to satisfy you nor grant you anything. If you do not like that answer then oh well, that is your problem. If you are here for the second reason. Then please read the response for the first reason and add, "You deserved it" on the end of it. If you are here for another reason not mentioned above then oh fucking well.
