The hard-left MoveOn.org site, funded by the infamous George Soros, will stealthily collect and misuse your IP address. In this instance, the site is falsely using your IP address to inflate a signature count on behalf of their efforts to shill for the public employee unions. What else MoveOn.org may be doing, or planning to do, with your IP address and your computer, is anybody’s guess.

If you want to visit MoveOn.org in order to keep tabs on what our enemies are up to, be sure to go through a secure proxy service, as Velvethammer did here:

MoveOn.org Systematically & Fraudulently Skewing Anti-Walker ‘Call to Action’ Support Results [Screenshot]

(h/t: AvidEditor)

Thanks to AMORC11 of ‘Another Day at the Foundry’ there is solid proof that MoveOn.org is capturing IP’s, an underhanded dirty trick to fraudulently gather signatures of support for their “50-State Mobilization to Save the American Dream”.

Here is a screenshot I took after having accessed the same page going in through http://anonymouse.org. As you can see, since my IP address was hidden I was not forced into signing their letter without my consent.

The text of the letter “50-State Mobilization to Save the American Dream” MoveOn.org is tricking people into signing.

In Wisconsin and around our country, the American Dream is under fierce attack. Instead of creating jobs, Republicans are giving tax breaks to corporations and the very rich and then cutting funding for education, police, emergency response and vital human services. The right to organize is on the chopping block. The American Dream is slipping out of reach for more and more Americans, and we have to fight back.

Can you add your endorsement to the call for emergency rallies in front of every statehouse this Saturday at 12 Noon to stand in solidarity with the people of Wisconsin? We must demand an end to the attacks on workers’ rights and public services across the country. Demand investment, to create decent jobs for the millions of people who desperately want to work. And demand that the rich and powerful pay their fair share.
You can add your name and endorse the call for emergency rallies by following this link:

Thanks!

As we have learned in light of the union protest in Wisconsin, public employee and their unions have the power to bring government to its knees. And their comrades at MoveOn.org are perfectly willing to stoop to any level to come to their aid. Whatever it takes, the ends [will] always justify their means.

MoveOn.org is as anti-American as it gets. So it should come as no shock that they and Obama are thick as thieves…

One more reason why a team blog is a good idea

If you have noticed that 1389 has not written any significant blog posts for quite a long while, it’s because I’ve been quite ill with bronchitis. And when I’m too sick to work a full schedule, I’m certainly in no condition to do justice to a blog article! All I can do is gulp water and antibiotics, cough, blow my nose, and try to stay on top of the deadlines for my other tasks. I’ve neglected everybody on Twitter, I haven’t read most of my feeds… I still haven’t been well enough to write any of the full-blown articles I’ve been planning on.

Fortunately, JennSierra has filled in admirably last week, so I could take a much-needed break.

I recently saw a little checklist, entitled When Not to Blog, which is actually quite funny. It makes some good points about being in the proper mental state. After all, if the pen is mightier than the sword, it behooves one to exercise a degree of prudence and caution.

It isn’t always easy to take a break. Dedicated bloggers often fear that their readership will dwindle if they take too long to get that next blog post out, or if they don’t work hard enough to promote their latest articles via email, social news sites, blog networking, word of mouth, and so forth.

Sometimes you can’t avoid doing some blogging while sick or while tired, but there comes a point of diminishing returns, and then a point where it becomes counterproductive. If you manage to get anything posted at all, it’s apt to be riddled with typos, layout errors, and dead links. Worse, you could end up trashing your own database and leaving yourself or your team a mess to clean up. So if you see you aren’t making progress, leave the blog alone, get some rest, and see the doctor if you need to!

More goodies on our Blog Censorship resource page

In view of the recent cutoff of web and cellphone communications out of Myanmar (see Think it Couldn’t Happen Here?), more people have been looking for information about censorware and other forms of Internet censorship, and how to get around them. Today, I finally managed to address that issue to some extent on our Blog Censorship resource page. Using proxy servers and the like to get around official censorship, especially in a dictatorship during time of war or revolution, is a very risky business, and I do not want to mislead anybody into being careless. If any of you have additions or corrections, please post a comment or click here to contact us via email.
