Our website continues to be the target of numerous hacking attempts-- actually it has been a continuous wave of onslaught since late March of this year.  This has led to a daily battle for us to just maintain and update our website.  Certain data is still not up to date, such as image files, as evidenced by the lack of certain images in our Spring 09 Newsletter. Our attempts to upload those images is being blocked.

The source of the hacking activity is varied, from IP addresses from all over the world.  Some of those IP addresses are still listed as unallocated, therefore we stand by our previous assessment that the U.S. government is the source of this hacking activity. 

We have also experienced attempted penetration of our computers which are not online but simply connected to a phone line.  We utilize a land line telephone line serviced by Verizon Corporation. This type of activity is unusual to say the least, and further illustrates that the telecommunications carrier Verizon may be facilitating such activity. 

Compounding this, telephone service was cut off the evening of May 10th, or during the very early hours of May 11th, thereby preventing us from performing our daily updates, even though DSL service was continued for the subsequent four days, but also cut on the fifth day. 

We update our server by dialup rather than DSL, out of a security concern.  While updating by dialup, hacking activity is limited by a 2400 baud rate, whereas a DSL connection exposes us to a much greater digital baud territory which increases the probability of hacking penetration of our server and our connection.                                      

Verizon employees explained to us that the telephone service was affected as a result of a 'downed line', however the DSL service on the same cable was unaffected. 

I guess the 'telephone Fairy' permitted a partial 'downed line' that only affected our telephone line.  Verizon customers in adjoining buildings were unaffected, as was a Verizon customer within our building on a separate floor.  For the record, they all use the same telephone cable that we do.

Verizon must think we are idiots.                                   

We have experienced dubious activity in the past with Verizon services, when our tone based telephone service was changed to pulse, thereby preventing our telephones from being able to dial out (all our phones are tone based).  Pulse based service, commonly known as rotary dial, is an antiquated technology that was superceded by tone service. 

MORE SERIOUS EVENTS

Such activities are thuggish in character.  In fact other thug-like activities are being used to target us, in fact myself in particular.  I had hoped that it would not come to this, I had hoped that with a new administration in the White House, such activities would be a remnant of a past in America embued by a Bush era mantra.  But I can no longer entertain such naive notions.                                                              

Attempts are being made by law enforcement agencies not just to surveil, the activities of this website, but also to create events to criminalize me, Victor Saraiva, the founder, Principal Director of this organization and the Editor-in Chief of this website.                                           

I have been targeted ever since I filed a complaint with the FBI requesting a criminal investigation be launched regarding a clique of 'businessmen and bankers' operating in the Newark area.  That complaint was filed in 1995. 

To my knowledge no investigation by the FBI of such persons named in my complaint was ever initiated. A FOIA request filed later by myself with the FBI, turned up 'no records on file' inclusive of any records tied to my name.  So in essence, according to the FOIA request response, I never filed any statement with this governmental law enforcement agency. 

Incredulous indeed, since my first statement was filed in person at the Newark field office; a second statement was filed with the U.S. Attorney's office, in Newark, also in 1995; and a third statement was filed by registered mail, mailed by a third party, in my presence, serving both as the direct agent submitting my statement into the care of the U.S. Postal Service, as well as witness that the statement was mailed to FBI headquarters in Washington D.C.                                                  

All three statements were submitted prior to my FOIA request, you know, the one that resulted in the highly questionable response of: 'nothing on file.'                                                                                                  

Given that my statements purported to establish that there existed a group of individuals in the Newark area that were directly involved in trafficking narcotics and utilized their businesses to funnel profits of such activities and launder them; and then the premier law enforcement agency of the United States negates a citizen's varied statements as ever being filed; one must therefore conclude that said law enforcement agency is not only aware of such activities but must logically condone them.  Succinctly: they too are involved!                                                         

Therefore, I can only conclude that drug traffic is being protected, or perhaps even purposely utilized by United States governmental agencies, in violation of laws and oaths to protect the citizenry of our nation.  I have since concluded that drugs are being used as a weapon of social control; to destabilize and purposely destroy communities populated by minorities.

Events have since transpired, especially of late, to lead me to also conclude that events are being created or molded to establish a 'believable' scenario to paint me as some degenerate or criminal.  Such events can only be characterized as 'beyond belief' in scope.

Over the years I have privately documented as much as possible, but decided to remain silent, in the hope that myself as well as my family would be left alone to live our lives in peace; in fact I had decided of late to minimize my political activities in these last couple of weeks; my soul searching led me to conclude that I had little left, not only in physical energy but also the monetary means to continue to do battle with elements in this city, county and state that epitomize sheer evil, and raw power. That personal appraisal is being called into question by unfolding events.                                                                                        

Recent events, in the life of my family's health and financial well being; as well as the 'frame job' being elaborated by corrupt cops and political figures (as I have been informed)-- may force me to go entirely public with my accusations: naming names, producing documents (some of which, passed on to me by third parties), and utilize this website as a means to expose activities of Newark drug traffic; money laundering and bank fraud; that involve a conspiracy of a variety of individuals assisted and protected by law enforcement personnel from different agencies. 

We will shortly elaborate further.

"He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression;  for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."

-- Thomas Paine

 

"Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)." --Ayn Rand

 

"Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down."

-- Frederick Douglass
