It appears that some right-winger has deliberately set up a phony indymedia site under the domain name of www.beachcitiesimc.org .
Although it presents itself as being a member of the indymedia family, its real purpose is to promote right-wing causes.
I did a whois on the beachcitiesimc.org and came up with the following information:

Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.DNSEXIT.COM 12.96.164.72
NS2.DNSEXIT.COM 66.161.145.130
The first address appears to be fake as I could find no record of it at Yahoo maps. But the second Rolling Hills address is apparently real. However, that doesn't mean that the person who owns this domain name can be contacted there. It could be just as fake as the first one.
