Online Sit In

Monday, January 26, you are invited to join us on an Electronic Sit In against HLS collaborators. We will be targeting the website of HLS's auditors RMSBG and since on the 26th it is the day of action against HLS customer, Bayer, we are targeting the website of one of their biggest products, aspirin.com. This is the way it works. You set your browser to a certain page that continuously loads images on the target website. Our hope is if enough people do this, we will effectively deny legitimate users access to the website by tying up the websites bandwidth. About two months ago, it appears we succeeded in doing this. About halfway into the day the website was taken down and a message saying the website was down was replaced. Then a couple weeks later there was a call to another action but the website that was hosting our script to reload the images was taken down, most likely by the people we were targeting. WE HAVE A SOLUTION!! If this website is taken down, visit the Indymedia pages of any major city in the United States and find the call to action article. At the end of the article, there should be an HTML file that you can download onto the computer your using. Simply open this in your web browser and your good to go!!! When it is Monday January 26, please visit  http://smashhls.hostse.com/index2.html and leave it open in your browser AS LONG AS YOU CAN. Oh!! Also, use a public computer so in the rare case this action is investigated, you can't be tyed back to being part of it.
