A pretrial hearing in the case against accused LulzSec hacker Jeremy Hammond this week ended with the 27-year-old Chicago man being told he could be sentenced to life in prison for compromising the computers of Stratfor.

Judge Loretta Preska told Hammond in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday that he could be sentenced to serve anywhere from 360 months-to-life if convicted on all charges relating to last year’s hack of Strategic Forecasting, or Stratfor, a global intelligence company whose servers were infiltrated by an offshoot of the hacktivist collective Anonymous.

Hammond is not likely to take the stand until next year, but so far has been imprisoned for eight months without trial. Legal proceedings in the case might soon be called into question, however, after it’s been revealed that Judge Preska’s husband was a victim of the Stratfor hack.

Videos of conflict in Egypt today

Magic Martin has been digging up videos of the current conflict in Egypt between Morsi’s Muslim brotherhood that have “made themselves the new Pharaoh” and secularists.

Cairo

This looks like a fairly good explanation of what is taking place and why.

This is from an Egyptian news service from today. Don’t know where yet but it appears to be the military preparing for a large stand off with civilians, presumably unhappy with Morsi’s new status as a deity.

The one below appears to be from a highly symbolic st. in Cairo leading from Tahrir Sq. to the interior ministry

Same Street, more clashes.

View from above, same st. Clearly there is no effective litter laws in Cairo. That alone is worth a riot ow two. How the cops can eat in the middle of all that noise and garbage is a mystery I do not want solved.

Another Win – Chingford

By • on November 13, 2012

90-92 Chingford Mount Road, London E4 9AA

We’ll  keep doing this if you don’t grant planning permission!

A planning application was submitted for a mosque at No 90 and 92 Chingford Mount Road. No 90 was to go  from  a “book shop” (you know the routine) to a full mosque, and be extended to No 92. More than doubling its size, to a total of 148 square metres, or 1,600 square feet.

The Applicants said that otherwise they would have to pray in the street.

Mosques: the Nag Factor (but we win another one, anyway)

Pester power works on Homer, but not us

Sometimes mosque-fightin’ is like an episode of the Simpsons. The opportunistic caricatures that present the applications, the gullible simplicity of the Councils that lap it up, and the spiteful narcissism of the community organisers and journalists. all play their part in this absorbing pageant of human nature.

But the most amusing thing is the juvenile pester power that mosque outfits employ. It goes something like this: apply; apply again; if refused, apply again; apply again with a glossy traffic report; get angry (but apply again); finally, if all else fails, apply again.

The fewer comparisons made between Council planners and Homer Simpson, the better. But mosque promoters are obviously avid students of Bart and Lisa, who know something about the Nag Factor.

This was the routine with our latest win: 7 Carlisle Road, in Brent.

REDUX: The CBN Clip of the march through Paris

I felt that while the coverage CBN and Dale Hurd did of it was excellent and it did the heart good to watch it, I think Mr. Hurd made one error in his observations that I wanted to address.  So I added it to the end of the clip.

I hope they can forgive the correction. But they are an exceptionally good bunch over at CBN:

EDL and We Are Norwich protests: Four arrested at demonstrations

As th BBC did not specifically say that it was EDL members that were arrested but worded it so that a quick read would link the two concepts in the mind of the readers, I would say it is a safe bet that it was anti-EDL counter-demonstrators who acted up and were arrested. But I don’t ‘know’ this. I am merely extrapolating based on what I have seen so far.

EDL supporters at the start of their march About 200 EDL supporters took part in the march through Norwich

Police made four arrests during an English Defence League march and counter-protest in Norwich.

Officers from 11 forces were on duty as about 200 EDL supporters and up to 2,000 members of the We Are Norwich coalition marched through the city.

Police said the day passed off relatively peacefully, although extra officers remained in the city centre into the evening as a precaution.

Both groups said they were they were pleased with the outcome of the day.

The EDL organised its march in protest at Norwich City Council’s decision to ban Pastor Alan Clifford of Norwich Reformed Church for promoting “hate-motivated” anti-Islam leaflets from a council-owned stall on Hay Hill.

We Are Norwich, a coalition of 25 groups, staged a counter-demonstration.

The EDL march began at Castle Gardens, passing through central Norwich to City Hall.

The We Are Norwich march began with a rally at Chapelfield Gardens and also finished at City Hall.

The war memorial was barricaded off and the two opposing groups were kept apart across a “sterile zone” in front of City Hall, but there was some isolated trouble.

Two men were arrested for suspected public order offences.

At last. Some artists finally recognize which side their bread is buttered on in the long term

Yes leftists who hand out the vast vast majority of arts grants are ultra-politically-correct and will crush any artist who dares speak up against totalitarian Islam and/or communism. But in the long term artists had better recognize that if they want to do their art at all, grant or no, they had better look at who the real enemies of free-expresion is.
