Voice of America Site Forced Offline By 'Iranian Cyber Army'
angry tapir writes with this excerpt from TechWorld: "The pro-Iran hacktivist group that defaced the Baidu and Twitter Web sites a year ago has hit another target: the US Government's Voice of America news site. Voice of America was knocked offline temporarily after hackers were able to change the organization's DNS (Domain Name System) settings, redirecting Web traffic hitting Voice of America sites to another site controlled by the hackers."
nice one, Iran.
you guys are next in this revolution wave thing...
US propaganda abroad -- subverting legitimate political movements to produce US puppets since WWII.
Contrary to the popular belief, there indeed is no God.
It reached far and wide with audiences all over the world, and as far as I know the radio broadcast was never hacked.
Here they are raging against the great satan intervening in Islamic countries all the time, to little effect and then voila, couple of weeks and their Muslim brothers put the entire region on fire and overthrow government after government. Some in Iran must be pissing their pants by now. The world is changing and so far NOT to the extreme. All those cries for democracy in Muslim nations, that just ain't right is it. No burning of US flags, no cries for battle against Zionists. Just cries for democracy. Crazy stuff AND it is working.
The changes of it all working out okay are... well lets face it, nobody knows what the fuck is going to happen, if you had created a scenario in which North Africa would be in one big movement to overthrow local leaders last year, people would have told you to stop being a hollywood fantast and get a grip on reality. Just look at the map, a ribbon of rebellion and the end is not in sight. If Libya also falls... well then even outrageous violence doesn't work anymore or for that matter giving at least some of the oil wealth to the general public (Gadafhi might (now) be completely insane, but he was not as corrupt as some of his counter parts and at least the west of the country generally benefitted a bit from the oil income)
So, lets give the Iran cyber army its last few twitches before this guy will be in front of the firing squad for his allegiance to a overthrown regime.

Anonymous? Where are you?
The BBC is a legitimate and well respected news organization. VoA is about as close to a news organization as that Fox News Parody with Chris Wallace.
of a radio station? Sounds like an anonymous operation.
Everything you said has been said before to explain why North African countries won't rebel. And then they did.
New game, new rules. Why do you think western leaders allowed themselves to be photographed hugging the Libyan leader whatever his name is (see comment below) and indeed the British PM is on a weapon selling trip while the weapons sold in the previous trip are busy killing civilians? A bit embarrassing?
You also seem to have forgotten the violent repression of the earlier uprising in Iran. These are not the actions of a government willing to change. Neither are there continued attempts at making nukes. It was Libya that stopped, not Iran.
Really, LOOK at what is happening. Something has changed. Even if Iran stays the same for now, the Middle East has changed. The power balance is gone. If Egypt and Tunesia truly become democratic they would side far closer to Turkey then dictatorships. That is going to leave the remaining dictatorships far more isolated. Rewatch the fall of the Soviet Union. Once dominoes start falling,it is hard to stop.
I think all bets are off and considering Iran's reaction so far, they think the same thing. Why else block access to these events if they are sure their own people will stand behind the government?

Yeah, like in Gaza, Afghanistan, and quite a few other places, it turned out that "pro-democracy" demonstrators are totally incapable of defending against violence. (and really, before that in Saudi Arabia, and many other countries, read up on exactly how many families were exterminated to put the house of Saud into power. Not that the other north african monarchies were subtle, but the history of the house of Saud really does challenge one's stomach more than "average")
All it takes is a "tiny minority" ready to kill like lunatics until they get their way.
If Egyptians aren't prepared to meet Hamas' violence with equally deadly force, including (perhaps especially) against women and children (because, sorry, Hamas ("the muslim brotherhood") uses them as weapons)
Of course, the fact that this sort of tactics are used has nothing to do with religion, espcially not with "that religion". No, it does not even have anything to do with the fact that the paedophile prophet used the same kinds of tactics, making them "holy". This guy is some serious peace of work. "Holy" Methods to spread the "holy" religion of islam used by the paedophile prophet included : war, slavery, kidnapping people into slavery, mass-rape, genocide, religious genocide, ethnic genocide, sexist genocide (killing all men and leaving the women and children of a tribe in the desert without protection), and of course ...
claiming the only thing people had against "his religion" was racism (often he was less than clear on whether it was "allah" or himself that was a god, you'd think this sort of thing, directly in a supposedly holy text, would make people think ...). Yes, really, this guy cried racism when muslims were refused access to a city where one muslim "went mad" (which obviously was revealed later to be at the direct orders of a certain paedophile prophet) and killed a dozen children. This guy did that in 700 AD, decrying the "racism" of the Jews. Works really well, apparently, in a society that panders to multiple religions, thinking it can accomodate any ideology, no matter how genocidal it is.
Of course, no society has ever survived 10% infiltration of mohamedans. Sometimes the musulmans won, sometimes the entire region was devastated, taking centuries to recover, but fortunately without muslims. Sometimes so many genocides were comitted that any trace of a recognizable culture was gone (ie : most of central and eastern Africa, Pakistan when it became muslim, even large regions of Europe sustained centuries of constant muslim attacks and infiltration ...)
But don't worry. After all, the only thing one could possibly hold against this ideology, or the paedophile prophet, is that "he's different". And of course, other religions killed too. The fact that the worst "other religion" maybe killed a million people in times, while the paedophile prophet's religion killed a billion ...
Also, of all religions, only one proudly boasts of the fact that it's founder killed tens of thousands of innocents ... guess which one. Of course, this cannot be taken to reflect badly on it, right ? Oh ...
Oh and the "holy" purpose of this religion ? Why, superiority, of course. Where have we heard that before ? Oh right ...
Waiting for those "troll" mods. You know, once you exceed a certain level of uncomfortable facts in a post, you're pretty much bound to end up at -1.
These could be false flag attacks.. either deliberate or not, we don't know. If we see more of these, the U.S. gov will finally have their excuse to shut down and control the internet.

Repeatedly saying "Paedophile prophet" makes it look like you've got some kind of agenda.
It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for being subtle.
Makes sense given Florida's location ...
Saying "you've got some kind of agenda" makes it look like you think that having an agenda is bad.

God bless you. A voice of truth and sanity.

That "Golden Age" did have its moments but for those dhimi folks it was more like fools gold in the end.
Pssst.... Stormfront is over there.
The Iranian Cyber Army are "hackers"? How generous...
