What Is This World Coming To?

The FBI executed a search warrant on a Dallas-based internet service provider by seizing three servers, effectively pulling the plug on at least fifty different businesses.

Matthew Simpson, the owner of Core IP Networks, said in a letter posted online that FBI agents raided two floors and ‘pulled the plug’ on his clients’ web servers starting at 6 o’clock Thursday morning. Agents also raided Simpson’s house in Ovilla.

According to Simpson, some residents’ access to 911 is also being affected because some of Core IPs primary customers include telephone companies.

The FBI isn’t commenting on specifics but said it could take several days to restore the servers of the affected companies. Officials say they could speed up their analysis of the web servers if the affected companies would contact them.

Simpson closed his online letter with the statement, “If you run a datacenter, please be aware that in our great country, the FBI can come into your place of business at any time and take whatever they want, with no reason.”

What is important to liberals is whether supporting or opposing that policy makes them feel good about themselves. Read the rest of this entry »
