Grand Rapids - The FBI is investigating a Grand Rapids company tonight.

At about 8am this morning agents raided the Cybernet Group on Division.

They told dozens of employees to leave, while they went through the building and confiscated computers.

Agents won't say what they're looking for, but they did tell us that they were executing two search warrants.

Cybernet has more than a dozen offices worldwide.

The Grand Rapids location is the company's main headquarters here in the U.S.

It is probably another software piracy thing. They have been the target of those kinds of raids before.

cybernet works on defense systems for the DOD. Check out the home page.

Sounds like something smelly is afoot in Florida....Bigtime....I started sniffing around about Cybernet, sure enough, connected to the same scam....

Also, I will not commit public Libel here and be called out. But I do have brossingnol's profile resume record, if you have some interest, PM me please.

Also, such software piracy couldn't possibly have to do with malicious codes.....What I see from here, is very revealing. cool.gif

PLease show us what you are "hiding" in your hand.

Making a statement like "...sure enough, connected to teh same scam..." needs to be backed if you wish to post that kind of statement.

I will say this: They have various programs across the country and offices, some in florida, some in michigan, some in NY state even.

Also, they are called CyberNET engineering, not systems. Ciber systems has a footnote....

Found this as well:

CyberNET Group building raided in Grand Rapids

(Update, Grand Rapids, November 17, 2004, 5:27 p.m.) Federal officers from about every agency you can name entered The CyberNET Group building on South Division Avenue, south of Fulton Street, in Grand Rapids Wednesday morning.

They seized all electronic data including computers and financial information connected to the company. Federal agents brought in truckloads of equipment, and according to employees, they will likely be here for days collecting information.

The CyberNET Group hosts Internet Web sites for companies and holds electronic data for them. The company is based in Grand Rapids with 120 employees, and another 550 worldwide in Chicago, Las Vegas, the United Kingdom, Philippines, Australia, Hong Kong and China.

Sources tell 24 Hour News 8 the investigation involves wire mail fraud and bank fraud. The allegations are something the company's owner and CEO Barton Watson is familiar with, as he was convicted of fraud in the 1980s. He served three years in a federal prison and was released in 1989.

The owner of the building says he leased space to the company five years ago. He says they have been good tenants.

Employees tell 24 Hour News 8 they thought their boss was had a clean history. Now they wonder if they will still have a job.

This does not point them directly involved with Sembler's organization and Mr J Bush, but then again, when the F.B.I starts sniffing around (and they had the radio transcript on today of Roger, Jeff and others talking to an authority official who is sniffing this one hard) they don't just go to the juvenile junkies and start throwing out warrants, they take their nose straight up the chain, to see where to go in order to get real nasty

http://www.awex.be/NR/rdonlyres/7DB6A326-0.../387/TIC_EN.pdf

created during the June 1999 elections
According to this document, Cybernet Engineering had some interesting connections to the results of the June 1999 elections, and what do we have here....They possibly outsourced their code, meaning it is very likely this gigantic government company helped these university schools get all the technology, and thus, the ease of hacking democracy as we know it to pieces.

No, the story does not mention cybernet. The page the story is on has a link -- not related to the story -- to another article that mentions a company called Cybernet Software Systems. This is not the same company as the CyberNet group and there is nothing here that links either Cybernet Software Systems or the CyberNet group to voting technology.

Don't worry, gduval has seen Activisms posts for awhile now. We all have. Those of us who take the time to read the articles he cites will find that the articles do not support his claims, and often have nothing to do with his claims.

One of my all time favorites was when he posted that the Russians had witnessed Karl Rove hacking.

You have provided a link to what appears to be a doctoral dissertation written in 2001 by a student at New York University. It appears to be about some new user interface ideas for web browsing. Counting the cover pages, the entire document is 300 pages long. It is a pdf document, so it cannot be searched. Reading it to find out whether it contains any references to the Bush brothers would obviously take a long time.

I saw that one. I have been following this forum for a while. Speaking of Karl Rove, if I wanted to disrupt discussion on an important topic and convince most of the world that the people discussing that topic were flakes, the Rovian way to do it would be to have someone post messages that sent people down rabbit trails.

Fortunately for us truth seekers, PDF's can be searched. smile.gif

The referenced document contains no references to the Bush brothers. The only references to Bush are the Bush/Gore election, of which there are 5 references.

There are no references to Cybernet, just for the record.

Most of the above discussion has no relevance whatsover to the topic of fair election practices. I did some posting on this thread because I've been trying to figure out what Activisms is really up to. I apologize that this has kept bumping this thread up.

I have been active on only two threads in this sub-forum today.

Both threads were started by "jessiegirl," whose lead I trust and whose prompting I have followed several times before. Thank you, jg, btw!

Both threads, unfortunately, have devolved into muddied squabbling and considerable efforts to clear all the smoke left in the wake of the many garbled posts of "activisms."

Activisms has just made my "ignore" list, period.

_______________________________________________

Activisms, if you are reading this, you'll have to log on using some other forum name if you want to continue to pester me. Simmer down. You don't have to step on every thread with some half-baked, knee-jerk response. Haste makes waste, eh?

I am prone to feel sympathetic rather than presume some disruptive intent on your part. I must also say, however, that the bulk of your posts are not constructive. You add more heat than light. So you're on my sh*t list. I'm sorry.

Conversely, you might just be talking over my head, your wit and powers of discernment beyond what I can fathom.

Either way, for now, I can't bother to waste any more time trying to figure your contributions out.

Hasta!

What happened, if I can put it in plain english actually is, alleged employees of this so called company helped make election software

And in the process they are connected towards the top to something very ugly, as its being witnessed that all voting companies particularly ES&S, Diebold used these software devices in pretty much all their election boards. Instead of XCEL who needs that when you have home brewed expertise who have their own agenda in mind.
