The Liberation of Alpharetta is Complete!
In a dawn mission, the Atlanta Resistance completed the final step in the liberation of Alpharetta, constructing 20 L8 portals in the center of this former Enlightenment stronghold. Alpharetta was an unassailable high-level enemy farm for most of December, with the local resistance cell being badly outnumbered and outgunned. Working with other Resistance cells in nearby suburbs, we were able to secure supplies and support to flip the farm in January and hold it through a series of intense battles with the North 400 Enlightened. After farming these new L8 portals to burnout, several agents posed for a picture at the historical marker where this campaign began. Many of the participants on both sides achieved Level 8 during this conflict!
The L8 farm has completed its first 24 hours of operation, with all portals intact & undamaged!

Undeclared martial law, dancing to terrorists' tune, … and we applauded
I think I'm one of the few people disturbed and unhappy by how the manhunt was run in Boston and by how few people even questioned if any of this was legal. Or what precedent we just set.The media, who should have been loudest in questioning these actions, used the polite term "lockdown" to describe what was an undeclared martial law. When you shut down all transportation, close businesses, tell citizens they must remain inside their homes, and bring in the armored vehicles – that's martial law. When you search people's bags and demand their ID because they are walking on the street – that's martial law. When you "ask" people for "consent" to search their homes by sticking your foot in the door and using intimidation and fear – that's martial law. Taking a US citizen into custody and not reading him his rights and interrogating him without right to council AND planning to use what he says in court – is far past martial law.
A pair of terrorists do a heinous act and we oblige them with wall to wall 24 hour coverage. We magnify the effects of the act by forcing a major US city to completely shut down. We further do the terrorists job for them by spitting on the 4th and 5th, (and possibly 6th) amendments in the name of public safety. Hell, we didn't just dance to the terrorists' tune, we added an orchestra.
I have no problem with the police, FBI, SWAT officers. They, for the most part, were trying to be as polite and focused as possible. They put their lives on the line and one of them didn't make it. If there was a manhunt for a very violent criminal taking place in my area and the police showed up and politely asked if they could search my home for the suspect, I'd most likely let them. If authorities asked me to stay off the streets so they could more easily locate a dangerous criminal, I'd most likely comply. What I object to is how the city officials pretended to ask for voluntary actions on the part of citizens, but their actions made it plain it was anything but voluntary. I object to doing the terrorists' job for them by shutting down an entire city, causing more disruption and fear than the original act caused. I object to the passive way we now accept voiding our rights, as in Boston or at any airport or our online data (CISPA passed the House, did you know that?), because the government tells us that's what we must do to be safe. The Patriot Act, Kill Lists by our President, Drone attacks, suspension of Due Process … and now martial law in our cities? Is this another step along the path of The New Normal?
Every citizen is protected under the constitution, no matter what they have done or what person the authorities are searching for, or we are no longer the United States of America. The terrorists won this round (again) and we helped them and then applauded.
And want to know the sad kicker to this string of events? The 19 year old suspect wasn't found through these illegal actions. He was found by a homeowner who went out to check his property after the undeclared martial law was lifted.

+Zane Rogers If you are interested in checking out #ingress in preparation for your new phone just search the hash tag. There are several communities around and we, the West Georgia Resistance, are looking for a Carrollton agent.
I've got a couple of spare invites as long as you're joining the resistance. If interested in the frogs then you'll want to sign up for your own invite. Heh.

So our company opened a store directly across the street from Centennial Park two weeks ago. What with March Madness, several free concerts and the Braves games there were a ton of people in the city. I ended up going in and working from about 1:30 yesterday afternoon until about 2:30 this morning.
It kicked my ass pretty hard. Once you add in the driving time I got home right around 4am this morning.
Hopefully it'll be a long time before I have to see that many people at one time again.

Senators supporting the so-called “Marketplace Fairness Act” are planning to force a full Senate vote on Internet taxes this Wednesday by attaching it to the Senate’s budget resolution.
This misguided proposal, despite being masked in “conservative-sounding” talking points, sets the stage for government at all levels to snatch another helping of your money via the Internet and opens the door for even more federal regulations.
More accurately described as the National Internet Tax Mandate, this legislation allows states to tax businesses without any “physical presence” in their state, ignoring the standard established by the Supreme Court in Quill v. North Dakota.
It flips the original intent of the Commerce Clause on its head by subjecting businesses to burdensome out-of-state taxes and represents the worst sort of taxation without representation.
And big-spending governors just can’t wait to get their hands on what essentially amounts to new bailout money through the federal government forcing more taxes on their citizens.
The last thing our country needs right now is more government and more special interests grabbing at our wallets.
Those who support lower taxes and smaller government must stand united in opposition to turning small Internet retailers into tax collectors for the states.
Please contact Senators Saxby Chambliss at 202-224-3521 and Johnny Isakson at 202-224-3643 right away and demand a “NO” vote on all attempts to pass or endorse S. 336, the so-called “Marketplace Fairness Act.”
This vote is of vital importance, and one senator could make all the difference.
Even if the budget resolution itself is defeated, if the Senate passes this amendment, supporters of the National Internet Tax Mandate will have momentum to fast-track their legislation as a standalone bill.
The U.S. Senate is under massive pressure from big corporations and D.C. lobbyists to get this tax bill passed.
It’s up to you and me to raise our voices and stop their plan, and one vote could make all the difference.
Please make your call right away and urge Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson to hold the line.

It was a very productive night. The upper and lower fields took me two days but garnered me ~ 100k in AP. I fully expect it to be gone in the next day or so if not sooner.
Not quite the biggest one in the state.
