What's in that Military funding Bill. Something about language the government doesn't approve of?

That climate bs was easier and cheaper to implement than running drugs. The gov’t is trying to go legit.

After surveying my ancient stack of Sun Sparcstations and PII 400 pc’s, they ended up settling for two laptops and an adsl broadband router. I’m blogging this post via my mobile. LOL ... "I'm in solitary ... just a man and his thoughts ..."

The ClimateGate 2 file was initially sent anonymously from the cloud to WordPress.com
not the blogger. The blogger was simply the first one to report the existence of the CG2 file.
Furthermore, he had received a message the requested that he retain all his information and to “I not disclose the existence of this request...” (see http://noconsensus.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/wordpress-preservation-request-1.pdf)

The police sounded like they were pretty tech savvy. He should have tried to hide a toaster and see if they would have seized that also. Something like, “don’t touch that radiant wave broadband router there, it’s very delicate and shouldn’t be moved”.

From a note in the comments....Jeff ID of the

It seems that the world governments are escalating cliamtegate to the next level. Tallbloke a fellow recipient blog of the climategate emails, and linked on the right, was raided today in what seems to be a coordinated effort by Metropolitan Police, the Norfolk Constabulary and the Computer Crime division and the U.S. Department of Justice Criminal Division. His home was raided and computers were taken for ‘examination’.
Updates are coming shortly which will explain further. The same is coming to a blogger near you.
Perhaps this post should be titled - “The Empire Strikes Back”
To: All
Tall Bloke
reports that he was raided by UK police and his computers seized. Read his blog post for further details, including actions in the US involving WordPress. Also see Jeff Id
here. It is not a coincidence that this story is reported first on these three blogs.
In an unrelated story, according to Richard Tol, IPCC has told its WG2 scientists that they are above the law on freedom of information.

So apparently this is the new whistle blower law. Seize the computers of anyone who helps the whistle blower.
To: justa-hairyape
