Anonymous Goes After Donald Trump

HughPickens.com writes: CBS reports that hot on the heels of its campaign against ISIS, the shadowy hackers' collective known as Anonymous is going after a new target: Donald Trump. The latest Anonymous operation — #OpTrump — was announced in a YouTube video featuring a masked activist claiming to speak for the group. In a computer-generated voice, he takes aim at Trump's proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States, claiming "This is what ISIS wants." He goes on to say that "the more the United States appears to be targeting Muslims, not just radical Muslims," the more ISIS will be able to recruit sympathizers. The video concludes with Anonymous' now-familiar threat: "You have been warned, Mr. Donald Trump. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. Expect us."

After a video message was posted, the website of Trump Tower in New York City went down for at least an hour. However the campaign has yet to have much success. Despite the group's apparent distributed-denial-of-service attack, which aimed to take down a web server by flooding it with fake traffic, the Trump Tower website was up and running by 11 a.m. and the alleged damage might not have been apparent, to visitors to the page, because a cached version of Trump's site was programmed to hold the fort in the event of an attack or maintenance issues.

Anonymous = retarded kids

Seriously, this bunch of retarded brain dead script kiddies believe they have a right to attack anyone else's website because they do not agree with him? They should all be catched and jailed as far as I am concerned. They are totally anti-democratic and equivalent to any evil dictatorship in this world. They do not deserve the media attention they get. Even their attacks are lame.

An interesting concept

"The thing is, we have to really reach out to those who might consider voting for Trump and say, 'This is Goebbels. This is the final solution. If you are voting for him I will have to shoot you before Election Day.' They're not going to listen to reason, so when justice is gone, there's always force..."

If all the polls are saying that the side of justice is going to lose, then should you resort to force? After reason has failed, what else can you do against such reckless hate? Do you agree or disagree with the sentiment quoted above?

By the way, this is a real quote, posted by an ACLU Board Member. He was forced to resign but will face no legal issues from his incitement to shoot people who disagree with his political opinions.

Re:"what terrorists want"

its quite simple. if you get your enemy to fight amongst themselves and demonise the the ordinary muslims, you can create instability and hatred. they are hoping this will convince the ordinary muslims to turn into fundamentalists and start the fight within. All Trump is doing is giving the closet racists a voice and a chance to re-enforce their bigotry under the cloak of "so called" acceptability. Unfortunately the bigots don't quite understand this tactic, a bit like the ordinary germans didn't understand the same scare tactics of their leaders until it was too late..

"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

Re:Documents that made him look like an stupid jer

Ah yes, the long list of lies. Bill Clinton lied. He lied when he truthfully said he didn't touch Monica's vagina (effectively the specific question he was asked, after "sex" was clarified). And Hillary lied because Benghazi. There were more hearings on her emails than 9/11, and still no direct lies uncovered.

But Trump says he will ban all Muslims from entering the US, even returning US citizens, then re-states to say only non-citizens. And claims he never said he'd ban "all" or citizens, even when faced with recordings of him saying it.

The Democrats need to outline eloaborate lies. Like Fair Tax, a pile of lies, fabricated by insane people as to a wish of what they hope would happen, without any basis in reality for the revenue and expenses. Single payer health care, like England's, is much cheaper than private health care, and with better results. Why aren't the Democrats pushing for single-payer as the next step after ACA? A federal insurance company, started now, and listed on the insurance exchanges of all 50 states, operating at 50% of the cost of all the private insurers, and showing a profit would cut taxes and improve care. Any missing details? Make them up, and make them good.

But no, we get reality. Gun control statistics nobody cares about. You can't argue someone out of religion with facts, and gun-nut is a religion. The cure for religion, is another religion, not facts. But the Democratic Party doesn't see that and attack dogma with dogma, so they always lose.
