Lawrence Lessig indica que existe um i-Patriot equivalente ao Patriot Act

O professor Lawrence Lessig, da Universidade de Stanford, um dos fundadores da licença Creative Commons, membro da direcção da EFF e da Software Freedom Law Center e «um dos maiores defensores da Internet livre, do direito à distribuição de bens culturais, à produção de trabalhos derivados (criminalizadas pelas leis actuais), e do fair use.» [1], veio a terreiro afirmar que após uma conversa com o antigo czar do terrorismo, Richard Clarke, este lhe terá dito que iria haver um acontecimento parecido com os atentados de 11 de Setembro de 2001, mas desta vez a nível informático, e que após este, entraria em vigor o i-Patriot Act, a versão electrónica do Patriot Act.

USA PATRIOT Act – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The USA PATRIOT Act, commonly known as the Patriot Act, is a controversial Act of Congress that U.S. President George W. Bush signed into law on October 26, 2001. The acronym stands for “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001” (Public Law Pub.L. 107-56).

The act expands the authority of U.S. law enforcement agencies for the stated purpose of fighting terrorism in the United States and abroad. Among its provisions, the Act increases the ability of law enforcement agencies to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial and other records; eases restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States;

O mais estranho é ele ter afirmado que esta nova lei já se encontra preparada, estando só à espera que ocorra um atentado deste tipo.

Como é que já têm um projecto lei preparado para ser aprovado após algo que ainda não aconteceu?
As administrações norte-americanas agora adivinham quando se vão dar atentados? O tipo de atentado?

Na minha modesta opinião mais uma vez estes senhores preparam-se para repetir os atentados de 9/11, ou melhor, preparam-se para nova operação False Flag de forma a mais uma vez aprovarem leis que atentam contra as liberdades e garantias do povo norte-americano e que infelizmente têm a péssima tendência de se propagar pelo resto do planeta, especialmente para a UE.

Law Professor: Counter Terrorism Czar Told Me There Is Going To Be An i-9/11 And An i-Patriot Act : Information Clearing House – ICH

During a group panel segment titled “2018: Life on the Net”, Lessig stated:

There’s going to be an i-9/11 event. Which doesn’t necessarily mean an Al Qaeda attack, it means an event where the instability or the insecurity of the internet becomes manifest during a malicious event which then inspires the government into a response. You’ve got to remember that after 9/11 the government drew up the Patriot Act within 20 days and it was passed.

The Patriot Act is huge and I remember someone asking a Justice Department official how did they write such a large statute so quickly, and of course the answer was that it has been sitting in the drawers of the Justice Department for the last 20 years waiting for the event where they would pull it out.

Of course, the Patriot Act is filled with all sorts of insanity about changing the way civil rights are protected, or not protected in this instance. So I was having dinner with Richard Clarke and I asked him if there is an equivalent, is there an i-Patriot Act just sitting waiting for some substantial event as an excuse to radically change the way the internet works. He said “of course there is”.

Ausencia de registos que indiquem que os aviões dos atentados de 11Set2001 sejam mesmo os das companhias

A NTSB, entidade que investiga os acidentes de transportes nos EUA, não possui qualquer registo que indique como foram identificados os destroços dos aviões ou se estes foram mesmo identificados positivamente.

Ou seja, a entidade competente para investigar qualquer acidente de transportes nos EUA, não possui qualquer registo que comprove que os destroços encontrados nos escombros a quando dos atentados, sejam ou não dos aviões que supostamente a UAirlines e a AAirlines perderam.

Mas nesta história toda alguém anda a mentir uma vez que o mesmo pedido através da FOIA ao FBI teve como resposta, “The identity of the three hijacked aircraft has never been in question by the FBI, NTSB or FAA”.

NTSB: No Records Pertaining To Process Of Positive Identification Of 9/11 Aircraft Wreckage | 911blogger.com

Within a July 18, 2008 Freedom of Information Act response from the National Transportation Safety Board, the NTSB indicates that it possesses no records indicating how wreckage recovered from the 4 aircraft used during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 was positively identified as belonging to the 4 planes reportedly hijacked that day or even if such wreckage was positively identified at all.

The History Commons, ou Cooperative Research – uma excelente ferramenta online para jornalistas de investigação

O site History Commons, antes denominado Cooperative Research, foi criado por Paul Thompson após os atentados nos EUA de 11 de Setembro de 2001, contém mais de 11269 artigos sobre diversos temas, e está divido por projectos, tais como:

O site foi criado com o objectivo de recriar através de notícias de diversas fontes e cruzando esses dados para obter informação o mais credível e isenta possível, os passos dados pelos diversos intervenientes nos acontecimentos, desde os supostos terroristas, passando pelos serviços secretos, politicas e politicos.

O History Commons define-se ele prórpio como “(…)an experiment in open-content civic journalism. It provides a space for people to conduct grassroots-level investigations on any issue, providing the public with a useful tool to conduct oversight of government and private sector entities. It is collaborative and thus allows individuals to build upon the work of others.”

Relativamente às suas origens o site deu origem ao livro The Terror Timeline: Year by Year, Day by Day, Minute by Minute: A Comprehensive Chronicle of the Road to 9/11 — and America’s Response.
Este é uma compilação de mais de 5000 artigos e relatórios que estão online no site acima referido, relativos aos atentados e que vão sendo actualizadas à medida que se obtém mais informação sobre os mesmos.

No dia 20 de Abril de 2008 o New York Times, publicou um artigo revelador, que depois disso foi largamente ignorado, detalhando a sitemática campanha de propaganda levada a cabo pelo Pentágono para promover a guerra no Iraque e manipular a opinião pública, usando para tal oficiais militares retirados e apresentando-os como analistas independentes e comentadores.

Após esse artigo revelador, o History Commons através dos jornalistas e investigadores que o compôem começaram desde logo a agregar todas as peças que eles encontrassem e que tivessem a ver com o tema, tendo-os reunido no projecto Domestic Propaganda, Military Analysts, and the US Media.

Deixo ainda aqui o artigo que me levou a escrever esta entrada e do qual “bebi” grande parte desta informação, embora já o conhecesse muito bem, uma vez que até adquiri o livro que menciono acima.

repeatedly insisted that they had no evidence that Osama bin Laden was
planning an attack inside…”

The Pentagon Military Analysts Program: What We Know

The profile of the Pentagon propaganda operation is incomplete. It has been reported that a former Pentagon public relations official, Torie Clarke, originated both the military analysts program and the “embedded journalists” program, and envisioned them as “bookends” for the same overall propaganda operation. We know that many of the media’s military analysts have ties to defense contractors, and that many of these contractors have financial interests in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have learned of connections between the propaganda campaign and White House political guru Karl Rove. We have been deeply disappointed (but not particularly surprised) to see the virtual shunning of the story by the broadcast media, and the backhanded attention paid it by the print and Internet media, but we continue to dig for information.
