Gary McKinnon: Travesty of Justice in the Making

There is a story barely reported of a UK man (Gary McKinnon) who is being charged in the US with computer crimes due to hacking into the NASA and DOD computer systems.

 

Gary McKinnon is a 39 yr. old man with Asperger’s  who is facing 60 years in jail because he wanted to know for sure if the US had found aliens and were hiding the fact. While it is interesting that he does not deny having found anything of the sort, this would actually come as no surprise to the large portion of the population anyway.

 

What seems to be at issue is that Mr. McKinnon got in and out of the computers pretty much at will and searched through large volumes of “restricted material” including looking for answers to questions surrounding the 9-11 attacks and the fact that he is quite forthright in his statements that it appears that the US had fully functioning anti-gravity devices (something that would negate oil as a major energy source).

 

Now in almost all past hack attacks at the pentagon, NASA and DOD, the perpetrators were almost always offered a major computer contract and all concepts that there may have been any breaches in security were buried. Now this leads to a few questions. Did Mr. McKinnon get into details and areas that previous hackers were not able to reach? Is his age and ASD affecting the Government’s urge to overkill the issue rather then hire him? Is the fact that Mr. McKinnon believes that some of these details belong in the public domain a major factor in attempting to bury his findings?

 

ASD or in this case the branch of ASD that includes Asperger’s includes aspects that makes even charging him with these crimes rather ludicrous let alone the fact that they are attempting to attach as much as 60 yrs. or the remainder of his natural life in prison.

 

Now lets look at this from a realistic standpoint they are looking at putting an autistic person in prison for the rest of his natural life for HACKING this is so stupid as to be laughable, except this is the same country that less then a year ago executed an autistic person so we already know that they have no understanding of autism and care only for making themselves look good at the expense of anyone who is different.

 

While I have had high hopes for Obama, I am rather quickly losing any hope that he is anything other then just as far an extreme right winger as any Republican to hold office. This case could and should have been terminated by his office soon after he was elected.

 

I would call specifically on Obama and Cameron to terminate this assault on the Autism Spectrum and if they refuse i Call on Prime Minister Harper to offer Mr. McKinnon political asylum and on Mr. Ban Ki Moon to suggest sanctions against these two countries for the atrocity they are attempting to perpetuate.
