blogsofwar.com has a blog post from July 1, 2005 that quoted some post at indymedia that said Hack This Site has a manifesto and hacktivist magazine "Notes from the Hacker Underground" documenting their experiences and sharing tips on internet security, becoming anonymous, and online security culture. I haven't read through it, and don't plan to, but I seem to remember the same organization hacked into freedominion.ca (FR's Canadian cousin) a few months ago.
Speaking at the Chicago benefit was a young anarchist, Jeremy Hammond, whom the PDC defended following his arrest at the 27 June 2004 Gay Pride Parade. Hammond and two others were seized by cops for defending their march from anti-gay bigots who attacked the parade. Recalling the IWW's slogan, "An injury to one is an injury to all," the PDC has a long history of mobilizing labor to defend gay rights. Chicago is the city, after all, where the PDC and Spartacist League mobilized hundreds of steel workers, auto workers, transit workers and others in defense of Gay Pride Day in 1982 when Nazis threatened it.
