Sarah Palin's Yahoo Email Account Hacked

Not much in the news, but plenty on the internet about how someone was able to gain Sarah's Yahoo account password, and have full access to all the emails.

Yahoo is not high on the list for security of passwords.
Knowing some public information about Palin, allowed the hacker to trick Yahoo into resetting Palin's password, which then allowed him full access.

But this article is not about the actual hacking, it's about more than that.

With "Troopergate" fast gaining on her heels, Palin has begun to stall the investigation with "lawyering up", and submitting motions that would try to make the entire mess disappear. She already has been asked for all her emails from the official email address she uses as Governor, but sources knew she used public email services to send official email, in an effort to avoid those emails ever surfacing.

The hacking of her Yahoo account has proven that she did indeed send official emails via Yahoo, which may be a violation in itself, but the bigger cover up is that she was trying to circumvent the law.

So, if Palin knew that eventually her Yahoo account could damage her, if she was forced to turn over the "official emails", which by law she would have to, what is the next logical event that she could wish to happen?

The account just disappear, with her completely out of the picture?

BINGO !

Enter the anonymous hacker, that gains access to her account, copying only a few innocent pictures and emails, and then bragging about it on a "hackers" forum. He gave out the new password, which allowed others access, one of which felt that he had to right a wrong, and reset the password once again, and for some reason posted a screenshot of his email to one of Palin's contacts. He somehow forgot to blank out the new password.

The posting of the new password caused quite a few fellow hackers to once again gain access to Palin's email, and either the multiple log-ons, or the multiple requests to change the password once again, tripped Yahoo's security features to lock the account to anybody.

Now Yahoo claims that the entire account has been deleted! Oh what a wonderful thing to hear! All the evidence is gone, deleted, no more, zapped into oblivion.

Sarah must be sighing a HUGE sigh of relief, knowing that Yahoo has come to her rescue, and all the EVIDENCE has been conveniently destroyed.

Well, I can tell you, the email is somewhere on the Yahoo servers.
I once deleted a Yahoo account and here are some screenshots.
Notice that it takes 90 days to delete, and that all your emails are archived as a precaution to any fraudulent activity.






Well, well, well ! But Yahoo claims that Sarah's email is ALL GONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Disrespect for the US Flag?

What would you say about a person that shows disrespect for the US flag?

What if that person should know better?

Do you think it is OK?

Respect for Flag

§176. Respect for flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America;
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform.

So do you think this person is showing the proper respect?

Once Again, The US Aids the Terrorists

Experts: U.S. hindered 'jet bomb plot' probe

According to the CNN report:

A former police anti-terror chief and an opposition lawmaker said the arrest of a terror suspect in Pakistan at the behest of the U.S. in August 2006 meant they were forced to move quickly against 20 suspects in Britain before they could gather sufficient evidence.
This contributed, the experts believe, to a jury's failure on Monday to reach verdicts over prosecution claims that the suspects planned suicide bombings on flights from London's Heathrow Airport to the United States and Canada in 2006.

The US agencies responsible for the arrest of the terror suspect in Pakistan, neither consulted nor notified their British counterparts, who then had to abandon their investigation, and arrest the remaining suspects before they destroyed evidence or panic and mount a "desperate attack."

This initial premature arrest, and the subsequent arrest of the remaining suspects almost comprised numerous UK intelligence gathering operations, and caused a complete stop to gaining any further evidence that would most certainly convict the group on the charges of a plot to blow up aircraft.

If the US would work together, instead of in competition with foreign governments to combat terrorism, maybe we all could win the battle.

In Bush's famous "You're either with us or against us in the fight against terror", may just now apply to the US Government. This one mistake, the arrest of a suspected terrorist without sharing the information with our allies, eventually caused some pretty bad terrorist to be found NOT GUILTY of charges that could have put them away for a long time.

Good going guys!

McCain, Fox News, and the "Stolen" US Flags

My attention was brought to a Fox News article about how a vendor at Denver’s Invesco Field found trash bags full of flags in and near garbage bins, and turned them over to the McCain campaign.

I tried to post a comment, but it was not allowed to be posted. I can only think because it didn't support their agenda. Obviously Fox News blocks comments that do not agree with them. Seems very one-sided. But since this blog is censorship free, I will post what was censored at the Fox website.

Quoting from UNITED STATES CODE, TITLE 36, CHAPTER 10>

(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard.


The words 'flag, standard, colors, or ensign', as used herein, shall include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America.

See paragraph (i), my bold "It should not be printed or otherwise impressed on anything that is designed for temporary use and discard"

So what does FOX NEWS have to say about what the US Government does when it prints US Postage stamps with the likeness of "Old Glory" on them?

I think a stamp is designed for temporary use, and then is generally discarded when it completes it's intended use. In fact when cancelled it is mutilated and soiled. So by my count, that's 3 violations right there.



According to the United States Code, the US Government is in violation of it's own code. Where is FOX News' outrage over this blatant violation of the United States Code, and disrespect shown everyday to our national emblem?

Oh, I guess it is NOT anti-democratic, so we don't report that news.

FOX News, please be more lenient in allowing comments to be posted to your website, and please report the NEWS in a FAIR & UNBIASED way !

We Want McCain for President ?

McCain cancels his scheduled interview with CNN Larry King because he was mad at the question asked of Tucker Bounds about Sarah Palin's commanding of the Alaska National Guard. Tucker Bounds could not give one example of any order that Palin had given the National Guard during her tenure as Governor of Alaska.

What is even more noteworthy is McCain's childish attitude towards CNN.

This is how a brave man acts? We want McCain as our next president?

If this makes him run and hide, just think what he will do if something more serious occurs. McCain cannot seem to handle this bit of controversy with diplomacy. Hmmmm?

Score one for CNN.

Sarah Palin And Republican Hypocrisy

There could NOT be a more shining example of conservative hypocrisy. The Daily Show and Colbert Report are far better news sources than fox
