> Or at least in the Worldwide Web.

> Case in point: a BBC story which appeared April 13th. The headline reads:
>
> '''SERB HACKERS' ON A RAMPAGE"

> Very often, I have found, Western news stories begin with a lie and end with
> something approximating truth. So with this BBC story.

> Here's a quote that appears three-quarters of the way through:
>
> "It is impossible to say exactly who the hackers are, or how they managed to
> breach databases that should be secure."
> Indeed.
>
> The story itself is slightly incomprehensible. As you will see when you read
> it, it appears to be talking about two different sets of events. The set of
> events related to the headline is this: apparently a number of websites
> whose domain names are registered with Network Solutions were taken over in
> the past few days. The Websites included some big companies (like Adidas) as
> well as a variety of Balkans sites including www.kosovapress.com (KLA) and
> www.Arkan.com and www.yu.com (definitely not KLA). The only evidence the BBC
> offers to support the "Serb rampage" headline is: one or more of the hacked
> sites sported a Serbian Eagle emblem and the rather mild comment "Kosovo is
> Serbia. Be happy if we hacked your site because we only hack the best sites
> on the internet."
>
> The problem with the "the Serbs did it" line is: why then were Serbian sites
> also hacked? Indeed, as the BBC didn't bother to mention, the main Serbian
> government site - www.serbia-info.com - was also hacked Wed. afternoon and
> Serbia-info is also registered with Network Solutions. And it didn't get an
> emblem and a harmless logo. It got an entire English presentation full of
> NATO-type propaganda, accusing the Serbian government of atrocities.
>
> There's another problem with the "the damn Serbs-did-it" line: The BBC story
> says the hackers forged email address identical to those of the hacked
> Websites and then transferred control of the various domain names to the
> hackers. Explains the BBC:
>
> "The contact addresses were at first transferred to a Yugoslav address, and
> then on Monday night to an Albanian address."
> Huh?
>
> Doesn't this suggest a KLA-type group did the hacking and tried to pin it on
> "the rampaging Serbs"?
>
> [Note: Since this story was written, the BBC has changed their line, not
> once but twice. First, they replaced the original story with a new one that
> softens the allegations against the Serbs. Most recently, they have posted a
> story which correctly portrays the Serbian websites as the victims.
> Unfortunately, the original Serb-bashing story was run on the front page of
> the BBC website, while the final story portraying the Serbs as victims does
> not appear on any main news page. It was only discovered by doing a deep
> search of the BBC site.]
>
> When the Serbia-info.com site was hacked, Eric Garris at www.antiwar.com
> spoke with Christine from the Media Relations Department at Network
> Solutions. She suggested that the hackers had emulated the email addresses
> of owners of various Websites and using those addresses, sent false
> messages, transferring the domain ownership over to the hackers.
>
> But there's a big problem with this explanation.
>
> As Garris noted, before a domain change can be processed, Network solutions
> has to send a confirmation email to the proper owner. So the hacker would
> not only have to emulate the email address when sending in the transfer
> request - a fairly easy task - he or she would have to intercept the Network
> Solutions confirmation message as well. This seems virtually impossible.
>
> This suggests something a good deal more sophisticated than amateur hackers.
> One possible explanation: this was a black ops move, orchestrated by the US
> government, which last May announced its intention to take the war to the
> Internet.
>
> Network Solutions is licensed by the US government and US intelligence
> organizations could easily gain access to the Network Solutions technical
> apparatus. The purpose: to disrupt the Serbian government Website and to set
> the stage for a media smear campaign about "Rampaging Serbs."
>
> Making these changes from within Network Solutions would be a snap. If this
> is what happened, it is a very serious matter indeed. Was the seizure of the
> Serbian site a trial balloon? And if so, who will be next?
>
> Below is the text of the altered domain registration information, which was
> posted at Network Solutions when Serbia-Info.com was taken over by hackers,
> apparently from Pristina, in Kosovo. And below that we've posted the link to
> a statement from Serbia-Info.com which sees the hacking of the Serbian
> government Website as part of the US assault on Yugoslavia.

> Order the new video "Judgment"
>
> In 1992 the world was shocked by pictures of a supposed death camp run by
> the Bosnian Serb government. These pictures were distributed by ITN, the
> British news station. The worst - a faded black and white photo of an almost
> skeletal man, naked to the waist, apparently behind barbed wire - stuck in
> people's minds. These pictures convinced millions that the Serbs were the
> new Nazis.
>
> The pictures were fabricated - staged and edited to communicate a lie.
> "Judgment," the new emperors-clothes.com documentary, proves it.
>
> The video relies on footage shot at the same time the 'death camp' shots
> were filmed. The narration is thoughtful, understated. The film itself shows
> what ITN chose not to let people see. And it illustrates, step by step, how
> the phony pictures were created.
>
> We urge you to order the 32 minute video for yourself. It's $20 plus
> shipping but if you cannot afford the full cost pay what you can. Let's get
> this video seen by every Western citizen. It needs no introduction. It
> presents a compelling argument and its conclusions are irrefutable.
> Therefore it jogs the mind that has been fogged with lies; it jogs the mind
> to life, to doubt, to think.
>
> We are now raising money to translate the film into Spanish, French, German,
> Dutch Polish, Italian, Greek, and other languages.
