Anonymous declares cyber war on Congress over indefinite detention act Published time: December 16, 2011 18:28 Edited time: December 16, 2011 23:22 Anonymous declares cyber war on Congress over indefinite detention act Hacktivists are continuing their mission to take on politicians causing the collapse of constitutional rights in America, with operatives from the online collective Anonymous keeping up a campaign against the signers of controversial legislation. As RT reported on Thursday, members of Anonymous began a campaign this week to expose information on the lawmakers who voted in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, a bill that will allow for the indefinite detention of American citizens, the reinstating of torture methods and the creation of the United States as a battlefield.

Oakland seeks to stop port protests OAKLAND -- Monday's protest that shut down much of the Port of Oakland will be the last of its kind if several City Council members get their wish. The council's four-member Rules and Legislation Committee voted unanimously Thursday to press ahead with an urgent resolution directing city leaders "to use whatever lawful tools we have" to prevent future shutdowns or disruptions of port operations. "I think it's embarrassing for the city, for the mayor, for the port and for the council to keep saying that we're not going to let this happen, but then it happens anyway," said Councilman Ignacio De La Fuente, who co-sponsored the resolution with Councilwoman Libby Schaaf. The resolution, which will go before the entire council for approval Tuesday, alarmed Occupy organizers, who said the directives risked renewed confrontations between police and protesters. "We were completely hands-off," Oakland police union President Dom Arotzarena said. "The port is a public place," she said.
Why Lobbying Transparency Is More Important Than Open Government - News In 2009, Barack Obama's presidency promised to be among the most transparent ever. His tech-friendly administration made public information more accessible (and more useful) with efforts like Data.gov, which collates and publishes important government datasets, and Recovery.gov, which reveals the inner workings of the economic stimulus bill that was the first major point on Obama’s agenda. The Obama team leveraged YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to better communicate with the public; other elected officials of both parties followed suit. (None of this is to say the administration has been perfectly transparent. Among other things, it releases White House visitors logs, but aides reportedly hold sensitive meetings at coffee shops to avoid scrutiny.)

On Dec. 8, I began a hunger strike with three other members of Occupy D.C. at McPherson Square — Adrian Parsons, Kelly Mears and Joe Gray. This commitment is necessary to expedite congressional action toward democracy for the District. Ours is an act of protest in response to a clear violation of our rights as Americans. We follow the examples of Alice Paul, Mohandas Gandhi, Anna Hazare and others in refusing food and consuming only water and vitamins in an indefinite hunger strike. We are calling for three reforms.
