Anonymous Declare 'Total War' On Donald Trump, Threaten To 'Dismantle His Campaign' (businessinsider.com)

An anonymous reader writes from Business Insider's article: Hackers affiliated with the Anonymous hacktivist collective have vowed to relaunch cyber-operations against US presidential candidate Donald Trump [on April Fools' Day]. They threaten to "dismantle his campaign" by taking his election websites offline in a large-scale and orchestrated distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. In December 2015, Anonymous officially "declared war" on Trump after a radical speech in which he said Muslims should be banned from entering the United States. The operation at the time resulted in a number of websites being targeted by hackers, but failed to have lasting impact. A new video statement has been posted to YouTube which claims the "loyalists and veterans" of Anonymous have decided to ramp up cyber-operations against Trump -- dubbed #OpTrump -- on a far larger scale than ever before. "Dear Donald Trump, we have been watching you for a long time and what we see is deeply disturbing. Your inconsistent and hateful campaign has not only shocked the United States of America [but] you have shocked the entire planet with your appalling actions and ideas. You say what your audience wants to hear but in reality you don't stand for anything except for your personal greed and power."
The websites targeted in the attack (so far) include trump.com, donaldjtrump.com, and trumphotelcollection.com. In addition, the hacktivists are also planning to release some of Donald Trump's personal information including a SSN, phone number, and contact information of his agent and legal representative.

Censorship is rarely constructive

Actually, I'm reminded of a recent incident in which I believe I was censored by Bernie's fanatics for saying that Hillary wasn't such a bad option compared to Trump and his associates.

However, I think I've finally figured out the source of the fundamental conflict between the so-called GOP and Trump:

The so-called Republicans believe in "government of the corporations, by the lawyers, for the richest 0.1%."

Trump rejects that and stands for "government of the Donald, by the Donald, for the Donald."

Huh. You're comparing Trump to Hitler - and I'm the one making insane comments?

If the shoe fits...

Have you even seen what goes on at Trumps rallies? Or heard all the stuff he's been saying publicly for months now? It simply is fascism. It is Hitler in the early years, before he became Chancellor. It is Oswald Mosley, complete with pointing out someone he doesn't like in the audience, and having hooligans beat them up as they are dragged out.

Clinton and Obama, while certainly not the best of politicians, as also certainly not fascists as you claim. You don't like them, and you have clearly developed a burning hatred for them, but that doesn't make someone a fascist.
