UFO Hacker May Spend Rest of Life in Prison

UFO Hacker May Spend Rest of Life in Prison

Last moments of freedom for McKinnon

UFO hacker Gary McKinnon's last chance of avoiding extradition to the United
States, for a trial that could lead to 70 years in prison or an indefinite
term at Guantanamo, takes place on February 13, when his case will be
decided by London's Court of Appeal. Since his crime took place on UK soil,
he wants to be tried in the UK, and is appealing extradition to the United
States.
McKinnon's hacking of NASA computers was accomplished by simply finding
systems that had blank passwords and opening them. He did no damage, and
reported that some NASA files made reference to an apparently extensive
secret US manned presence in space.

While he is apt to get a fair trial in the United Kingdom, there is every
likelihood that the United States will treat him as a terrorist and he will
disappear into the night and fog of American justice. If he is tried,
conviction will be virtually automatic, and sentencing brutal.

Ken Lewis writes in the New Zealand news site M-net that McKinnon, who broke
into US military computers and found evidence of aliens and UFO technology,
faces up to 70 years in a US prison.

Torture is a Part of The American "Justice" System

Here's some interesting articles regarding the treatment of Jose Padilla, one of them outlining where these torture techniques come from... Take a look, if you dare!

WHY DID THEY TORTURE JOSE PADILLA? http://www.philly.com/mld/dailynews/news/opinion/16219278.htm

Routine and systematic torture is at the heart of America's war on terror http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,1970086,00.html

Neither of these, of course, go into the hairy topic of the prison system, the life-long system of criminal records that promote recidivism, and the other tortures used to destroy people everyday in our so-called "justice system."

Welcome to Amerika, where we imprison more of our populace (1 in 5) than any other nation on earth! Including Saddam's evil Iraqi empire!!! Who needs liberating again??

More Ridiculous Holiday Shenanigans...

Seattle Airport removes Christmas trees

All nine Christmas trees have been removed from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport instead of adding a giant Jewish menorah to the holiday display as a rabbi had requested.

Maintenance workers boxed up the trees during the graveyard shift early Saturday, when airport bosses believed few people would notice.

"We decided to take the trees down because we didn't want to be exclusive," said airport spokeswoman Terri-Ann Betancourt. "We're trying to be thoughtful and respectful, and will review policies after the first of the year."

Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky, who made his request weeks ago, said he was appalled by the decision. He had hired a lawyer and threatened to sue if the Port of Seattle didn't add the menorah next to the trees, which had been festooned with red ribbons and bows.

"Everyone should have their spirit of the holiday. For many people the trees are the spirit of the holidays, and adding a menorah adds light to the season," said Bogomilsky, who works in Seattle at the regional headquarters for Chabad Lubavitch, a Jewish education foundation.

After consulting with lawyers, port staff believed that adding the menorah would have required adding symbols for other religions and cultures in the Northwest. The holidays are the busiest season at the airport, Betancourt said, and staff didn't have time to play cultural anthropologists.

Hanukkah begins this Friday at sundown.

"They've darkened the hall instead of turning the lights up," said Bogomilsky's lawyer, Harvey Grad. "There is a concern here that the Jewish community will be portrayed as the Grinch."

Hey, pal, I got news for you: they are the grinch!
