Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same. She is a poet, always. All these efforts find representation here: "ah, Mephistophelis" is so named after the last line of Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, whose heretical success flouted the censor for a time.

Anonymous Hacked The CIA (again?)

This just in from RT.


Anonymous hacked the CIA

Traditionally known as FuckFBIFriday, this weekend eve turned into FuckCIAFriday, as hacktivists downed the official website for the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States cia.gov. At approximately 3.10 p.m. Eastern time one of twitter accounts related to the hackers' group announced "cia.gov DOWN. 
Along with the secret audio leak, numerous sites feel prey to Anonymous’ crippling assault including several entertainment industry giants and government sites. The websites for the US Department of Justice and Universal Music Group were among the first to go, with the sites for US Copyright Office, Warner Music, BMI, and RIAA following suit shortly after. These attacks were in retaliation for a raid on Megaupload, where the feds raided the file sharing service site which led to more than 20 warrants being served and several arrests internationally.

But didn't they do this recently?  Like on the second of February?  And ...  also last year, when AntiSec was first born?

More as develops.

Be seeing you.

  1. I love you Anonymous! Go after the IRS in April please!

    If it's the real anonymous they probably hacked the CIA to stop us from going to war with Iran.

    But if this is the anonymous that is not truly anonymous-they may have hacked it to start the war with Iran.

    Either way-the real Anonymous is awesome.Hackers rule.
