Is this possibly going to connect the two?
LOL! "I know in my heart that I am funny. . ."
Hmmm--now I'm thinking, are the political groups Soros funds in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union linked to the terrorists who attacked the Russian school, and if so, if his funding network is linked to the Shadow Government network, which is linked to the Tides Foundation. . .
That would be nice, but I'm guessing you're about five steps and six months ahead of the FBI.
No kidding?
How interesting.

fyi
Kerrywaffles.net has some damning emails from the Heinz Foundation to the Kerry campaign, but he can't get anyone to touch it as a story. I have tried to ping him to several relevant stories because I think he may have a better chance now (do a search on his poster name, kerrywaffles.net here at FR and read the evidence).
In answer to your question, I would say it is feasible if past behavior by Heinz is any indication.
Have you read the Shadow Government work by David Horowitz (and another writer)? If not, the first installment is in my tag line, and you should easily be able to locate the second installment here or through the original link.
They are very, very sneaky.
They can tell if you click through to their site from LGB or FR, and when you do, they immediately do as your one article suggests - remove the incriminating materials or hide it.
What I find absolutely facinating (and damning) is the silence on this from the Left. This is so unlike them unless they are packing their bags and leaving the country as we speak.

Thank you so much! :o)
fyi
over here!
Pretty much the same article from the Sydney Morning Herald:
FBI seizes Indymedia servers

The FBI has issued an order to hosting provider Rackspace in the US, ordering it to turn over two of the servers hosting the Independent Media Centre's websites in the UK, a statement from the group says.
Rackspace has offices in the US and the UK. Independent Media Center, which is better known as Indymedia, was set up in 1999 to provide grassroots coverage of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) protests in Seattle.
Rackspace complied with the FBI order, without first notifying Indymedia, and turned over Indymedia's server in the UK. This affects over 20 Indymedia sites worldwide, the group said.
Indymedia said it did not know why the order had been issued as it was issued to Rackspace. Rackspace told some of the group's volunteers "they cannot provide Indymedia with any information regarding the order." ISPs have received gag orders in similar situations which prevent them from updating the parties involved on what is happening.
Indymedia said a second server was taken down at Rackspace. This provided streaming radio to several radio stations, BLAG (a Linux distribution), and a handful of miscellanous things.
In August the US Secret Service used a subpoena in an attempt to disrupt the New York city Independent Media Center before the Republican National COnvention by trying to get IP logs from an ISP in the US and the Netherlands.
Last month the US Federal Communications Commission shut down community radio stations around the US. Two weeks ago the FBI asked Indymedia to remove a post on the Nantes IMC that had a photo of some undercover Swiss police and IMC volunteers in Seattle were visited by the FBI on the same issue.
Indymedia said the list of local media collectives affected included Ambazonia, Uruguay, Andorra, Poland, Western Massachusetts, Nice, Nantes, Lilles, Marseille (all France), Euskal Herria (Basque Country), Liege, East and West Vlaanderen, Antwerpen (all Belgium), Belgrade, Portugal, Prague, Galiza, Italy, Brazil, UK, part of the Germany site, and the global Indymedia Radio site.
