CZ Hackers Versus NPPA - Part II

The results of my call for Czech signatures under Leonard Peltier's petition made me a very pleasant surprise. Czech names were present almost on every page of the signature list. Quite symbolically, the signature number 7000 was Czech. You should know our recent history to understand how difficult was to push Czechs to make a public signature. 40 years of Communist dictatorship have made a serious damage to the courage of our people. Communists are gone for more than 10 years now, but people are still afraid to make a public stand. So, those signatures meant a lot to me. I was happy to have found the right words in my articles (my Czech is really much better than my English!) and pushed people to act, that I woke them up! My country needs this kind of efforts otherwise we will slip again to some other kind of dictatorship. Our young generation is our only hope. And those Czechs who signed were almost all young people between 20 and 30. And I had one more motivation for my involvement in Peltier's campaign. Some time ago I received a mail from one Peltier's support group with these words:

"There was a support group in the Czech Republic. In 1996 the LPSG/Prague managed to get the Peltier clemency petition directly into the hands of Vaclav Havel's hand. His response? "Presidents don't sign this." So you see, there is much work and education to be done."

I followed the advice and I am working and educating. I was feeling so terrible ashamed! So now I hope that Native Americans have understood that all Czechs are not like their President. I had received a mail from my Lakota friend with these words addressed to our young people:

"So to all the new generations I say thank you for signing your names and speaking out, this is your gift to the ones yet to be born. You will write and make your new history!"

Of course, as the number of Czech signatures under the petition was increasing, the violence of attacks of Peltier's adversaries in the NPPA's guestbook was equally growing. "Anonymous Surfers" tried present me in their usual twisted way as a person living in the USA - an immigrant and a Communist. They threatened and insulted me and even made a man of me:

"My relatives would escort you back to the boat or tell you to swim home." (Donna on 08/19/00)

"The American Indians don't like your Communism and will run you out of town if you try it here. The Govt. will assist us in sending you packing." (Donna on 08/20/00)

"Your not helping Indians...your robbing them." (Donna on 08/20/00)

"Bushka is defending a Communist!!!!! He calls his friends Commrade!!" (Donna on 08/20/00)

"It has been proven that Peltier lied to you and that you can live with it. Not here." (NPPA on 08/21/00)

I didn't give up and continued in my poisonous postings into their shamebook.

Then happened something that had to happen - they've just got what they've earned - a week before the end of August an anonymous Czech hacker just shot down the NPPA's site! 

What a sweet view of "Page not found" notification appearing instead of those abject pages full of lies and demagogy. Of course, I do not know the identity of the perpetrator(s) of this illegal and condemnable act therefore I couldn't report it to the authorities. Hmm, how sad... :o))) These people are used to protect their privacy. I was notified only after the event took place and the message said that it was meant as a little present for me. Some of the best Czech hackers were among visitors of the site where I was used to post my articles and they didn't like nor the activity of the No Parole Peltier Association (NPPA) neither the insults and threats that I was receiving on the pages of their guestbook. Those brilliant young braves love their "Auntie Bushka" (a nickname I use to sign my articles - I am an older lady - almost 46 :o)), so they hacked the NPPA's site and my dearest "enemy mine" - the NPPA's webmaster Sue VeldKamp had to rebuilt it completely after a two day's long crash-down. I would want to make clear that this was an exclusively Czech business - "CZ HACKERS X NPPA" - and in any case it couldn't cast shadows on Leonard's cause. Peltier's supporters are just spectators and are allowed to laugh.

One of them didn't laugh too much when it came out that the a very similar computer ID that threatened me on my chat, hacked his computer and stole sensitive information that could represent a security risk for himself and his friends. It was time to retaliate seriously. I filed an official complaint about cyber-harassment by my night visitor to the US Administration. I haven't received any feedback, but about a week later - on September 6 - the NPPA's guestbook disappeared and since then the NPPA's site doesn't have any. The guestbook was registered to the name of Sue VeldKamp who was with the utmost probability my anonymous chat stalker. R.I.P. ...

The NPPA's site has lost the only feature that could attract visitors on its pages. Who will come to their pages now, without their guestbook that many people visited only for the fun of reading absurd postings of "Anonymous Surfers". In a certain way it is a pity because a visit of this shamebook could have only one effect on a normal, democracy loving person: go immediately to the site hosting the pro-Peltier's petition and sign it! One simple look on guestbook's pages was enough to understand that Peltier's adversaries were of the worst kind of fascist crap. The efforts of this bunch of scoundrels were totally counterproductive: instead of gaining supporters against Peltier, they were achieving the contrary - convincing people to sign the petition calling for his release.

The story of Auntie Bushka & Czech hackers and their struggle against the NPPA is probably over. The bad guys had lost and the good ones gained the victory. Myself, I have gained the most. I've realized that one single person could even move a mountain under condition of having enough faith and conviction. I received many mails from my readers demonstrating me their support and gratefulness for having provided information about Peltier's case. And the most important thing of all - I have found new friends among Native Americans and Peltier's supporters. People, for whom I feel great respect and sincere friendship. People, who belong to the most respectable persons and greatest personalities that I had ever met. People, about whom many white Americans say that they are ignorant and uncultured. One of them, a Lakota woman wrote me:

"One thing I do miss are Czech Beads ....... I create through beading and only use what Czech Beads remain on very special pieces, so your beads and your history are beaded into American Indian Pieces ...... Part of you takes part in Sacred Ceremony ...... I can't even begin to guess how many years this has been ongoing."

What a difference from the NPPA's "concerned US citizen" who even didn't know that my country wasn't a part of Russia! Czech beads were one of our traditional export articles for centuries. And now they have been replaced by Japanese beads that Indians don't want to use. I would sincerely wish that some Czech beads producer would accept this challenge and recover our traditional export market. To continue that old spiritual connection between our peoples that are so different and in the same time so similar for having both lived under oppression and fought for the survival of their respective cultures and languages.
