The Fifth HOPE (2004),
July 9, 2004, 7 p.m.
(60 minutes)
Back in 2000 at H2K, Bernie S. and ShapeShifter led a discussion on
secrets of the major political conventions in the United States. Not
long afterwards, ShapeShifter was arrested on the streets of
Philadelphia on suspicion of being a"ringleader" of dissent. In the end,
he won his case against the city and all charges were dismissed. Like
Bernie, his interests weren't squashed because of unjust prosecution.
That's why this panel will focus on the 2004 Republican National
Convention taking place across the street from the Hotel Pennsylvania in
late August. The panel will detail how cops spy on people, their methods
of surveillance, and how they often abuse authority. You will learn how
to infiltrate organizations like the RNC, how to look for and find
security holes, and how mischief and mayhem is achieved. There will also
be details on a unique scavenger hunt.

ShapeShifter
ShapeShifter is most well known as one of three alleged "ringleaders" of the 2000 RNC protests in Philadelphia, where he was charged with "Possession of an Instrument of Crime" (a cell phone) and held on half a million dollars bail. The charges against him were dismissed when prosecutors failed to prove that cell phones are dangerous and that he conspired to break the law. In addition to being a menace to society, ShapeShifter is currently studying electrical engineering and has recently spawned "the BUG," a.k.a. Zoe Olivia. ShapeShifter is also the layout artist for 2600.
