RAW STORY: San Diego GOP Chair Revealed as Infamous International Software Hacker
Where 'Last Ninja II' Was Cracked in Minutes, Warez Like 'Diebold GEMS/Accuvote' Will Surely Confound an Infamous Pirate Like 'Strider,' Right?
Any job applicant knows that background checks are routine – especially for jobs involving authority or oversight of money. So why didn’t the San Diego Republican Party do a simple Google search before naming Tony Krvaric as its chairman?

...Or did they?...
Online research reveals that Krvaric is the co-founder of Fairlight, a band of software crackers which later evolved into an international video and software piracy group that law enforcement authorities say is among the world’s largest such crime rings.

...Well, go figure.

That skill set should come in very handy down there in, of all places, San Diego, where the far-right Republican Board of Supes, and the far-right Republican Registrar of Voters office, have never met a hackable Diebold electronic voting system they didn't love. "It's well known inside the computer hacking world that well-paid hackers were used to crack Diebold's computerized voting system to give Bush apparent victories in the 2000 and 2004 election which he otherwise would have lost resoundingly."

I recall "Strider" (Krvaric) and the "Fairlight" boyz from my own C-64 and BBS "warez" swapping days in the late 80's. Those guys, and the other incredibly competitive pirate crews, could crack anything, anytime, usually within minutes after a new piece of software hit the market (and often, even before it did!).

But no doubt, the air-tight, mission-critical, impenetrable security in Diebold's voting systems would be beyond the reach of d00dz like Strider and friends. And, of course, there's far more to gain by a 17-year-old "Strider" cracking the codes of, say, International Karate Plus and Shoot 'em Up Construction Kit than there ever would be for him, as county GOP chair, to hack an election in San Diego, right? I mean, what would possibly be the upside to that?

In other news - here's the closest thing we've gotten to a confession as to why the C.I.A. staged the 9/11 attacks and framed patsies from the Middle East in order to win broad public support for an all out pre-emptive invasion of the Iraqi oilfields and it comes from none other than ReichsMarshal John McCain.

“My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East,” McCain said.

REASON FOR WAR IN MIDDLE EAST = "dependence on oil from the Middle East"... (NOT TERRORISM - NOT 9/11)... right from ReichsMarshal McCain's own foul mouth
