WTF? (What the Fawkes?) Rosa Luxembourg famously said that those who do not move cannot feel their chains. This morning in Suffolk county court, the ACLU of Massachusetts and our client moved. And we felt our chains.

I had gone to court to listen to our legal team argue a case to protect the First Amendment rights of our client, Twitter user @p0isAn0n, aka Guido Fawkes. That user, who wishes to remain anonymous throughout the proceedings, was the target of a Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney’s administrative subpoena to Twitter, dated December 14, 2011. As we wrote last week, the subpoena asked Twitter to hand over @p0isAn0n’s subscriber information, including our client’s IP address, which can be used to help track down someone’s physical residence.

Secret subpoena aimed at Twitter user not so secret anymore. Massachusetts authorities apparently thought that asking nicely would suffice to keep secret their subpoena for information on a Twitter user involved with Occupy Wall Street.

Secret subpoena aimed at Twitter user not so secret anymore

They thought wrong. So when the Suffolk County District Attorney's office sent its request to Twitter, its subpoena ended up in the inbox of the DA's target, following a decision by Twitter to share it as part of its privacy policy. The user in question goes by the handle @p0isAn0N, who last week posted the document in full on Scribd. My Occupy LA Arrest, by Patrick Meighan.

The problematic area which one member @DoxCak3 states is, “they’re subpoenaing a hashtag and words.” Wikileaks, Antipolitics, and the Post Modern State. Talking-point politics, taken for political discourse is delusion.

It's akin to the cunning nature of chatter in the mind of a neurotic. It masquerades itself as thinking. OCCUPY WALL STREET // N15 // D17 // OCCUPY 2.0 // YOUR TIME IS NOW.

Why I Am Not Protesting at Occupy « AmericanPaki. For those who have known me, my keen interest in the Occupy movement comes as no surprise.

Why I Am Not Protesting at Occupy « AmericanPaki

For those whom I have met only recently know me as the researcher, freelance journalist and blogger who has been making it a strong point to let everyone know that I am merely observing protests from the sidelines and not participating as a demonstrator. Since the beginning of Occupy at Wall Street on 17 September, I have stood on the peripheries of encampments observing a democratic movement unfold before our very eyes: from marches, to GA meetings, to police raids, and even the arduous online activism that has now become part and parcel of the current movement.

As a researcher and journalist, I have spent a lot of my time ranting about nothing but Occupy since its inception. It may come across as somewhat odd in case some wonder whether or not I have an actual job.
