SAN JOSE, CA – Apr. 4, 2014

ZL Technologies, Inc. (ZL), the leader in total information governance for the large enterprise, today announced the company’s CEO, Kon Leong, will participate on a panel with representatives from the CIA and the Department of Homeland Security at the IT Security Entrepreneurs Forum (ITSEF 2014), taking place April 8-9 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif. Leong will join Dawn Meyerriecks, deputy director for Directorate of Science and Technology of the CIA; Donna Roy, executive director of Information Sharing Environment for the Department of Homeland Security; and moderator L. William Varner, president of ManTech Mission, Cyber and Intelligence Solutions Group, to discuss the growing privacy challenge of Big Data and how to leverage data for new purposes in government.

Website up, down, up, down... a suspicious person would take this as proof the Kbots took over Portland Indymedia.

"Name removals requests can not be honored, as there is no editing or removing anything from the newswire unless it is a security concern"
Apparently the readers knowing who is legally responsible for Portland Indymedia is a "security concern":

What Happened Before Seattle Indymedia Died

Indymedia must be run in an open and democratic way...or it's toast.

Indymedia must be run in an open and democratic way



The attitudes and actions of Lady Macbeth are similar to to those of an arrogant landlord. She is dishonest and manipulative partly (it would appear) because that is her character. But there is also a more important reason: she acts the way she does because she can -- because it is so easy for her to get away with it.

Indymedia -- which holds potential to expose all that is corrupt and rotten in our society -- to make our society politically transparent is not, itself, run in a transparent manner. This is why this kind of dishonest manipulator can so easily secure an ownership position in such a franchise.

The problem here is not that a dishonest and manipulative person owns the local franchise. That is only a symptom of the problem -- the visible tip of the iceburg (95 percent of which is always submerged).

We live in a class-divided society. This means that any significant institution or organization will attract careerists and opportunists -- who will seek to secure their positions by means of alliance with the dominant political establishment. (In the part of the political ecosystem in which Indymedia exists -- the dominant political establishment tends to be the left wing of the imperialist Democratic Party and its "green" fringes.)

Lady Macbeth was (in my opinion) installed in the local Indymedia -- and part of her job, so to speak, is to keep Indymedia safe from activists who are "out of control" (ie: who do not act with the proper deference to the reformist political trends that, unfortunately, dominate the progressive movements). Lady Macbeth could be discarded like a used kleenex if her political sponsers conclude that she is a liability (ie: too clumsy and obvious in her gatekeeping role) -- but the problems with indymedia would likely remain.

This is one reason I believe that indymedia, in order to fulfil its potential, must be run in an open manner by an open collective -- which activists have a right to join. The content and policies of indymedia (including the rules for what is censored from the newswire and what appears in the center column) must be subject to an open and democratic process -- which is visible to all activists. All activists must have the right to take part in this process of open struggle.
