An Anon at a Sandbox is reporting that Adrian Lamo is a member of the Tor Project.  The Tor Project is part of the Direct Action Network.  Adrian Lamo has been working on cyber and information war tactics for the NSA through a series of shell companies since he was released from probation in 2007.

Excerpt from Anon:

So, Lamo, an original Wikileaks donor, is also a Tor exit node operator -- the domain for which he registered using the same ``free speech'' registrar Wikileaks uses; and maintains email accounts at the anarchist hacker collective Riseup.net -- the same network Assange used to initially organize Wikileaks volunteers and donors... Interestingly, Riseup.net lists operating Tor exit nodes under the ``Other Services'' section of its website:
``... we also run TOR exit nodes, if you would like to contribute to the Tor Project but not deal with the technical or legal details.''

Recall that Lamo has accused both Appelbaum and Wikileaks of sniffing the Tor network. Given that sociopaths often accuse the subjects of their obsessions of committing their own crimes, this leads to the important question of whether Lamo has just been caught on television sniffing the Tor network using his exit node at SetecAstronomy.org. Unless other footage of Lamo's screen exists -- which would show the leftmost columns of his terminal clearly (i.e. the ports being forwarded *to*) -- this remains an open question. Lamo might not even have the technical aptitude to sniff the Tor network (which is nonetheless trivial). Perhaps he is using his exit node as a simple SOCKS proxy, relaying his web traffic through his exit node to camouflage it, i.e. get ``lost in the noise'' -- as Lamo's hacker ex-friend Appelbaum named his own collection of Tor exit nodes (LostInTheNoise.net). Or perhaps Lamo really is sniffing Tor exit traffic, looking for that next bit of information to snitch about or turn over to Project Vigilant.

Regardless, this all leads to a single conclusion: Tor is not safe. Tor is a tool designed by spies (see US Patent No. 6266704, 1998), for spies -- a spy audience consisting of everything from professionals like governments and Wikileaks, to mediocre hackers like Appelbaum, to sociopath prescription drug abusers like Lamo. Tor enables these fringe elements to enact their common fantasy of living the lives of spies.

The Tor network is not an anonymity network; it is not a privacy network. The Tor network is `wiretapping for dummies', an orgy of exhibitionism useful only to sociopaths -- sexual deviants and hackers alike.

What Anon means by that is the Tor Project is part of the RiseUp Network.

Who remembers Lou Posner? 

 Lou Posner was an attorney arrested on a variety of prostitution and money-laundering charges at The Hot Lap Dance Club.  The media was all over that.  But they didn't cover all the aspects of what services were available from The Hot Lap Dance Club.

Lou  Posner laundered the sex profits through Voter March, a nonprofit voter registration organization he founded.

Voter March

http://www.votermarch.org

“We at Voter March were protesting Bush from Day One when Bush stole the election in November 2000. We organized a large rally at Dupont Circle at the Counter-Inaugural protests in January 2001. On May 19, 2001, we organized the Voter Rights March at the West Capitol Steps in Washington DC and in San Francisco. See the new music video “Offend” of Ringmaster as they played for the Voter March rally at the West Capitol Steps.”

Voter March is also a part of ACORN.

VoterMarch "about" page:

The Voter March platform calls for a Voters' Bill of Rights for critically-needed reforms, including improved voter registration. Voter March also fully supports the peace and anti-war movements and is adamantly opposed to the unelected, illegitimate, unmandated President Bush and his Administration's plans to wage unilateral war against Iraq.

Voter March is independent and not funded or controlled by any organization. Voter March, Ltd. is a New York State not-for-profit organization that qualifies under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code as a tax exempt organization. The Director of Voter March is founder Louis J. Posner, a New York City attorney and member of the National Lawyer's Guild, who is listed in "Who's Who in American Lawyers," "Who's Who in America," and "Who's Who in the World."

ACORN

“We have the largest single, unified delegation of Dems, Greens, Socialists, other Radicals and ACORN community activists, a rainbow of ethnicity and ranging in age from 18 to 75+.”

Volume 01 : Number 410

Excerpt:

Public outrage over the Republican theft of America's presidential election and the systematic denial of African-American voting rights has sparked a vast array of organizing efforts by everyone from revolutionary anarchists opposing "the entire state system" to Democratic voters questioning the fairness of American democracy for the first time. Most significantly, Bush's coronation is sparking a revival of grassroots organizing by the black civil rights movement.

The players in the unfolding inauguration drama are so numerous and varied, and the pace of preparations so harried, that it hasn't been easy to get a handle on what will go down on January 20. Here, then, is a guide to the scenario and cast of characters for the inauguration protests.

SCENARIO

Many of the details concerning the actual Inauguration, like the exact parade route, have yet to be announced, but the basic outline of the day is set. The swearing-in ceremony will take place on the west side of the U.S. Capitol building beginning at 11:30 AM. Bush is scheduled to take the oath of office at noon. The ceremony will be followed by the traditional inaugural parade, which begins at 2:00 PM.

For more information on official preparations, see the official web site, www.inauguration-2001.org. Other good resources are www.presidential-inaugural.com and the Armed Forces Inaugural Committee's "frequently asked questions" page: www.afic.army.mil/FAQs/FAQs_page1.htm. If you've got many hundreds of dollars to spare, you can buy a scalped ticket to one or more inaugural events, from the swearing-in ceremony to various inaugural balls; one source for these is www.inauguralevents.com.

There are three different announced meeting points and times for anti-inaugural protests.

1) At 10:00 AM, people will meet at Dupont Circle for the Voter March rally and protest (www.votermarch.org), which will culminate in a march to the Supreme Court. The organizers of this event, which has a moderate tone and good-government agenda, have received a permit from the D.C. police.

2) Also at 10:00 AM, folks of a more radical disposition will meet at Pennsylvania Avenue and 14th Street, responding to calls put out by the socialist International Action Center (www.iacenter.org) and the anarchist Revolutionary Anti-Authoritarian Block (www.infoshop.org/coronation.html). The anarchists will meet beneath a "Class War" banner. Presumably this march will also go to the Supreme Court, though there's been no public announcement of the route.

But Posner's club didn't just offer lapdances.  They offered special events for special tastes.

http://www.hotlapdance.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-63.html

For over 3 years Premium Events had some of the hottest private swinger parties in Manhattan. We had fabulous venues including a 5 Million Dollar celebrity loft in NoHo and ultra luxurious Penthouse hotel suites with panoramic views and roof gardens. We had the hottest couples in Manhattan, as well as couples from the West Coast and Europe visiting Manhattan. Our parties were uber hot and had more action then all of the other swinger parties put together. We even had gang xxxxxx with strikingly beautiful young housewifes and single females volunteered to be gang xxxxxxxxxxxx and bi-females with strapxxxxxx. Here is a link to some of our Premium Events swinger parties xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

During the first few months of 2006, we concurrently ran both the Premium Events couples swinger parties and the HOT Lap Dance parties. We then made the difficult decision to discontinue the Premium Events couple parties so we could concentrate all of our efforts on making our lap dance parties the best that New York has to offer. If you click on the old Premium Events website at xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx it will redirect you to the Hot Lap dance club. We constantly get emails from couples begging us to have another couples swinger party. We have no plans on having more couples swinger parties and we invite other swinger clubs and parties to post here.

Couples and single females are always welcome at our lap dance parties. We are also planning on having a monthly Saturday night lap dance party for couples and single bi-females only.

Saturday, September 29 (eve) — “PARADE WITHOUT PERMIT” PROTEST MARCH

The unauthorized but well-planned march sponsored by the Radical Homosexual Agenda (”RHA”) gathers at Tompkins Square Park after 6 p.m. amd kicks off @ 7 p.m. It is planned to have the famous “Stonewall Car” — well-known to the NYCPD — symbolically leading the protest march. One of the protest issues is the unnecessary new law that any gathering of 50 or more people need a “parade permit”!? What is this pre-Stonewall 1968? Shame on the City Council Speaker for supporting such undemocratic trash! For further 411, e-mail the RHA’s chief coordinator Tim Doody at Query@RiseUp.net.

S.V.A. Editor’s Note: What an absolutely treble busy day for the S.V.A. It’s like deja vu 1969!

Sunday, September 23 — S.V.A. and the RADICAL HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA

For the planning of their protest march on Saturday, September 29th, their special guests today are logically members of the STONEWALL Veterans’ Association. There is no question that the S.V.A. has experience with “protests”. The Radical Homosexual Agenda (”RHA”) also invited the S.V.A. today to plan protest strategies and make arrangements for the protest march to feature the big blue classic convertible known as the “Stonewall Car”. Williamson Henderson of the S.V.A. originated the symbolic and visible Stonewall history idea. It was quickly embraced by both groups united in Gay respect and Gay rights cause. One of the RHA’s popular banners cleverly states: “The Stonewall Veterans didn’t ask for a parade permit!” Today’s representation for the S.V.A. is headed up by Bert Coffman. Meeting location is at Bike Space, 49 East Houston Street in the East Village @ 4 p.m. For more 411, you may e-mail the RHA at: WeWantYou@RiseUp.net.

More on Stonewall:

Harry Hay
Pioneer, coalition-builder and radical faerie
Nov., 2002

Henry “Harry” Hay, the founder of the modern American gay movement, died on October 24, 2002 at age 90. He had been diagnosed weeks earlier with lung cancer. Despite his illness, he remained lucid to the end and died peacefully in his sleep at his home in San Francisco.

“Harry Hay’s determined, visionary activism significantly lifted gays out of op-pression,” said Stuart

Timmons, who published a biography of Hay, called “The Trouble with Harry Hay,” in 1990. “All gay people continue to benefit from his fierce affirmation of gays as a people.”

Hay devoted his entire life to progressive politics, and in 1950 founded a state-registered foundation network of support groups for gays known as the Mattachine Society.

Hay was also a co-founder, in 1979, of the Radical Faeries, a movement affirming gayness as a form of spiritual calling. A rare link between gay and progressive politics, Hay and his partner of 39 years, John Burnside, had lived in San Francisco for three years after a lifetime in Los Angeles. Hay is listed in histories of the American gay movement as the first person to apply the term “minority” to homosexuals. An uncompromising radical, he easily dismissed “the heteros” and never rested from challenging the status quo, including within the gay community.

“Harry was one of the first to realize that the dream of equality for our community could be attained through visibility and activism,” said David M. Smith of the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, DC. “When you were in a room with him, you had the sense you were in the company of a historic figure.”

Due to the pervasive homophobia of his times (it was illegal for more than two homosexuals to congregate in California during the 1950s), Hay and his colleagues took an oath of anonymity that lasted a quarter century until Jonathan Ned Katz interviewed Hay for the ground-breaking book “Gay American History,” published in 1976. Countless researchers subsequently sought him out. In recent years, Hay became the subject of a biography, a PBS-funded documentary, and an anthology of his own writings called “Radically Gay: Gay Liberation in the Words of Its Founder.”

Before the establishment of the Mattachine Society, attempts to create gay organizations in the United States had fizzled or been stamped out. Hay’s first organizational conception was a group he called Bachelors Anonymous, formed to both support and leverage the 1948 presidential candidacy of Progressive Party leader Henry Wallace. Hay wrote and discreetly circulated a prospectus calling for “the androgynous minority” to organize as a political entity.

Hay’s call for an “international bachelor’s fraternal order for peace and social dignity” did not bear results until 1950. That year, his love affair with Viennese immigrant Rudi Gernreich (whose fashion designs eventually earned him a place on the cover of Time magazine), brought Hay into gay circles where a critical mass of daring souls could be found to begin sustained meetings. On November 11, 1950, at Hay’s home in the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles, a group of gay men met which became the Mattachine Society. Of the original Mattachine founders, Chuck Rowland, Bob Hull, and Dale Jennings pre-deceased Hay. Konrad Stevens and John Gruber are the last surviving members of the founding group.

“Mattachine” took its name from a group of medieval dancers who appeared publicly only in mask, a device well understood by homosexuals of the 1950s. Hay devised its secret cell structure (based on the Masonic order) to protect individual gays and the nascent gay network. Officially co-gender, the group was largely male -- the Daughters of Bilitis, the pioneering lesbian organization, formed independently in San Francisco in 1956.

Though some criticized the Mattachine movement as insular, it grew to include thousands of members in dozens of chapters, which formed from Berkeley to Buffalo, and created a lasting national framework for gay organizing. Mattachine set the stage for rapid civil rights gains following 1969’s Stonewall riots in New York City.

Harry Hay was born in England in 1912, the day the Titanic sank. His father worked as a mining engineer in South Africa and Chile, but the family settled in Southern California. After graduating from Los Angeles High School, he briefly attended Stanford, but dropped out and returned to Los Angeles. He understood from childhood that he was a sissy -- different in behavior from boys or girls -- and also that he was attracted to men. His same-sex affairs began when he was a teenager, not long after he began reading 19th century scholar Edward Carpenter, whose essays on “homogenic love” strongly influenced his thinking.

A tall and muscular young man, Hay worked as both an extra and ghostwriter in 1930s Hollywood. He developed a passion for theater, and performed on Los Angeles stages with Anthony Quinn in the 1930s, and with Will Geer, who became his lover. Geer (who later generations grew to love as Grandpa Walton on the TV series “The Waltons”), took Hay to the San Francisco General Strike of 1934, and indoctrinated him into the American Communist Party. Hay became an active trade unionist. A blend of Marxist analysis and stagecraft strongly influenced his later gay organizing.

Despite a decade of gay life, in 1938 Hay married the late Anita Platky, also a Communist Party member. The couple were stalwarts of the Los Angeles Left. Hay taught at the California Labor School and worked on domestic campaigns like that for Ed Roybal, the first Latino elected in Los Angeles. The Hayses occasionally hosted Pete Seeger when he performed in Los Angeles, and Hay recalled demonstrating with Josephine Baker in 1945 over the Jim Crow segregation policy of a local restaurant. When he felt compelled to go public with the Mattachine Society in 1951, Hay and his wife divorced.

After a burst of activity lasting three years, the growing Mattachine rejected Hay as a liability due to his Communist beliefs. In 1955, when he was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee, he had trouble finding a progressive attorney to represent him. He felt this was due to homophobia on the Left. (He was ultimately dismissed after his curt, brief testimony was deemed unimportant.) Hay felt exiled from the Left for nearly fifty years, until he received the Life Achievement Award of a Los Angeles library preserving the history and artifacts of progressive movements.

A second wind of activism came in 1979 when Hay founded, with Don Kilhefner, a spiritual movement known as the Radical Faeries. This pagan-inspired group continues internationally based on the principle that the consciousness of gays differs from that of heterosexuals. Hay believed that this different way of seeing constituted the greatest contribution gays made to society, and was indeed the reason for their continued presence throughout history.

For most of his life Hay lived in Los Angeles. However, during the early 1940s, Hay and his wife lived in New York City. He returned there with John Burnside to march and speak at the Stonewall 25 celebration in 1994. During the 1970s, he and Burnside moved to New Mexico, where he ran the trading post at San Juan Pueblo Indian reservation.

His years of research for gay references in history and anthropology texts led Hay to formulate his own gay-centered political philosophy, which he wrote and spoke about constantly. His theory of “gay consciousness” placed variant thinking as the most significant trait in homosexuals. “We differ most from heterosexuals in how we perceive the world. That ability to offer insights and solutions is our contribution to humanity, and why our people keep reappearing over the millennia,” he often stressed.

Hay’s occasional exhortations that gays should “maximize the differences” between themselves and heterosexuals remained controversial. Some academics and activists seeking full integration of gays and lesbians into straight society tended to reject his ideas while still respecting his historic stature.

A fixture at anti-draft and anti-war demonstrations for sixty years, Hay worked in Women’s Strike for Peace during the Vietnam War as a conscious strategy to build a coalition between gay and feminist progressives. He also worked closely with Native American activists, especially the Committee for Traditional Indian Land and Life. Hay was a local founder of the Lavender Caucus of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition during the early 1980s, and was determined to convince the gay community that its political success was inextricably tied to a broader progressive agenda.

Despite his often-combative nature, Hay became an increasingly beloved figure to younger generations of gay activists. He was often referred to as the “Father of Gay Liberation.”

Hay is survived by Burnside as well as by his self-chosen gay family, a model he strongly advocated for lesbians and gays. His adopted daughters, Kate Berman and Hannah Muldaven, also survive him. A circle of Radical Faeries provided care for him and Burnside through their later years.

Harry Hay leaves behind a wide circle of friends and admirers among lesbians, gays, and progressive activists. Donations in his memory can be made to the San Francisco GLBT Community Center, 1800 Market Street, San Francisco CA 94102 (identify it for the Harry and John Founders Wall plaque), or to the One Institute and Archives, 909 West Adams Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007.
