Cubic / TrapWire / Tartan / Stratfor / OWS / Ntrepid / Abraxas / Dauntless
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, August 22 2012 @ 11:17 AM EDT
How do you make matters worse for an elusive intelligence company that has been forced to scramble for explanations about their ownership of an intricate, widespread surveillance program? Just ask Cubic, whose troubles only begin with TrapWire.

Days after the international intelligence gathering surveillance system called TrapWire was unraveled by RT, an ongoing investigation into any and all entities with ties to the technology has unturned an ever-increasing toll of creepy truths. In only the latest installment of the quickly snowballing TrapWire saga, a company that shares several of the same board members as the secret spy system has been linked to a program called Tartan, which aims to track down alleged anarchists by specifically singling out Occupy Wall Street protesters and the publically funded media — all with the aid of federal agents.

NYPD: Muslim spying led to no leads, terror cases
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, August 22 2012 @ 12:27 PM EDT
In more than six years of spying on Muslim neighborhoods, eavesdropping on conversations and cataloguing mosques, the New York Police Department's secret Demographics Unit never generated a lead or triggered a terrorism investigation, the department acknowledged in court testimony unsealed late Monday.

The Demographics Unit is at the heart of a police spying program, built with help from the CIA, which assembled databases on where Muslims lived, shopped, worked and prayed. Police infiltrated Muslim student groups, put informants in mosques, monitored sermons and catalogued every Muslim in New York who adopted new, Americanized surnames.

Apple and Samsung go for blood in closing arguments

a 20-page verdict form that is no doubt much more complex than they'd anticipated
And some of us thought the Oracle/Google trial verdict form was bad enough. This judge really let the lawyers get away with it.
