About This Zine
Here we are with issue six of HackThisZine, it has been a long time since we put out the last issue and someof you may have thought that we were never going to come out with this issue, and at points we didn’t either,but after much delay I can assure you that HackThisZine is indeed not vaporware.As for those who will hate on us for not having an issue out for over a year, I have the following to say to you,if you want it to come out more often then help out! Send us an article, send us some art, volunteer to helplay out the zine, volunteer to help translate the zine, volunteer to help print the zine. We have lives outsidethe zine and putting it out isn’t easy, or cheap!
We have a really great zine for you this time, we have part 2 of Nomenumbra’s article about the PE le sys
-
tem, we have part too of the Train Hopping article by Ms. Haieisch (part one was by Evoltech). We have an
article on the scariness of facebook. We have an article about the Berkeley Tree Sit by our newest collectivemember Frenzy who has been helping out a lot around Hackbloc HQ, everyone give him a warm welcome! Ithink that this is out best issue yet and it comes out in a very interesting time, comcast has been ordered to
stop its trafc shaping by the FCC, America is on the eve of electing a new president, and possibly also on theeve of invading Iran. The RNC and DNC are only a month away and may have already even happened by thetime you read this, and the government and corporations (does there really need to be an and there?) are still
invading your privacy in newer and more explicit ways. Action is more important now than it ever has been. We
should take pride in the fact that comcast has been forced to respect net neutrality by the FCC and we shouldsee that as a signicant and inspiring victory and keep taking action untill the last entity trying to strangle our
freedom has been toppled.We hope that our sixth communique will help you in your struggle.
