As readers will know from the foot of this website, it is hosted by PDPS who, in the person of Ian Parker-Joseph, take care of all technie matters that I may experience.
You may have noticed that there has been a little disruption on my site over the past few days, especially with people getting a 503 not available message.
I am of the opinion that this has been caused by one of the posts which went up earlier as it is since then that strange events have taken place. First, briefly, some background. On the 23rd March 2012 a blogger by the name of Tim Rustige was arrested at his home in Altringham, Trafford in a ‘cross border operation’ by officers of Grampian and Greater Manchester Police. His home was simultaneously searched and personal items removed. Rustige, together with the secured items, were then transported directly to Aberdeen where he was kept in the cells over the weekend and released on bail on Monday 26th. (you can read further on Rustige’s arrest here and here.)
It is almost a mirror copy of the ‘cross border’ raid on Robert Green’s home, where computers and notebooks were removed by Grampian Police, while officers from Cheshire Police remained outside the house, or the 7 hour raid on the home of Hollie and Anne Greig, also by Grampian Police whilst the local officers remained outside, this time not only removing items from the home but also damaging and trashing the property in the process.
I wrote to David Cameron to complain about the conflation of devolved matters on 11th April and again on 27th May. On 16th May I also wrote about how difficult it is for any constituent in Witney to contact their Member of Parliament. It was around the 16th May that ‘attacks’ on my website began, albeit only one or two; unfortunately this has now increased to such an extent that it results in what amounts to attempts of brute force entry into my blog by the Police National Network, the MOD, an un-named Government department and a whole range of financial institutions using Rippers software. Witness:

It would appear that anyone who writes anything about the Hollie Greig campaign comes under an intimidating barrage of abuse by officials. A misuse of power if ever there was one – just what and who are they protecting. (it took a while to work out why the financial institutions, but then realized they have a vested interest in this case, more on that in the next few months from the Hollie Demands Justice website ).

Similarly PDPS Internet has suffered exactly the same fate (above) although they are now used to this abuse as they also host the Hollie Demands Justice website. The attacks on myself and the hosting company are from the same IPs that regularly attack the HDJ site and remove content; witness:
I am advised that the missing documents were the result of a visit from the Police National Network using Rippers software.
To bring the matter of these unwarranted attacks up to date, this morning the following is what the MoD were trying to enter and/or alter using Rippers on this site:

Since the above, the following also took place:

I also have a problem with my old Blogger website in that when acting as administrator I am no longer able to delete any comment on any post other than my own. By way of explanation, on blogger beside each and every comment there appeared an icon in the shape of a dustbin which on clicking then provided the administrator the ability to delete that post – all those little dustbins have disappeared. It may be due to the move from .com to .co.uk and Blogger did not ‘transfer over’ all administrator facilities. If any blogger still on blogspot would care to confirm that they have not lost the ability to delete comments, I would be greatly appreciative – failing which it is reasonable for me to assume that I can small a rat as the ability to ‘censor’ comments was lost around 20th May, which is the last occasion on which I attempted to enter my old blog as an administrator.
Reverting to the letter from Turner Parkinson LLP I have written to Google requesting that as I am unable to remove those posts naming names, perhaps they would do so in view of what looks like court action. I have also requested that they supply me with the IP and email addresses of those comments – again stating I need that information pending possible court actin – and it would not surprise me were it to be shown that all the comments in question originated from the same source.
That behaviour by the State, such as recounted above, can happen in what we are told is the ‘mother of democracy’ beggars belief, on the contrary such behaviour is that which is associated with the USSR of old, China or North Korea.
Anyways, let us see what unfolds in the days ahead – and yes any further attempts to hack this blog will be publicized.
Update: Further investigation of my blog showed that the sidebar images had been tampered with causing them to loop, which in turn caused an increase in CPU usage. It is not possible to state who tampered with them, but it is odd that this should have happened at a time when other questionable visits have taken place.
