Anonymous hacks US Sentencing Commission, distributes files
ZDNET ^ | Violet Blue

Posted on 01/26/2013 10:50:39 AM PST by JohnPDuncan

Hacktivist group Anonymous took control of the U.S. Sentencing Commission website Friday, January 25 in a new campaign called "Operation Last Resort."

The first attack on the website was early Friday morning. The second - successful - attack came around 9pm PST that evening. anonymous

By 3am PST ussc.gov was down (it has since been dropped from the DNS), yet as of this writing the IP address (66.153.19.162) still returns the defaced site's contents.

It appears that via the U.S. government website, Anonymous had distributed encrypted government files and left a statement on the website that de-encryption keys would be publicly released (thus releasing the as-yet unkonwn information held on the stolen files) if the U.S. government did not comply with Anonymous' ultimatum demands for legal reform.

Anonymous has not specified exactly what files they have obtained. The various files were named after Supreme Court judges.

How about instead of name calling explain why my analysis is flawed.

Read the Wikipedia on Swarz..yeah, I know, wikipedia can be edited to say just about anything...but there’s a lot in there that leads this group to their motvations..and it looks like the they hold the Just_US Department, in particular, prosecutor Carmen Ortiz and MIT responsible for his suicide. The kid actually did some brilliant work..and if guided, could have gone on to do grat things. But geniuses have a record of being in a fragile mental state...and he had issues and thoughts of suicidal ideation. They were going to put him in prison, even though his attorney was looking to plea him into something lesser...but MIT didn’t back down. We’ll see what happens. I’m not a fan of Anonymous...but this kid really didn’t seem to be a criminal, at least from what I’ve read.

Anonymous” isn’t what it pretends to be. And it sure as hell isn’t a friend of ours.

Exactly. They are far, far, far, far left.

If they release anything, it will only be about the Conservative justices.

Anonymous.... heroes or terrorists?

Heros? Never. Most likely they are Marxist government operatives.

if the U.S. government did not comply with Anonymous' ultimatum demands for legal reform.

Incompetent reporting. Again.
The perps delivered an ultimatum without defining what defuses the ultimatum?
What are the freaking nutcases' demands? What legal reforms?

‘....wouldn’t be surprised if it’s actually being motivated by Obama or his minions, since Friday’s court decision finding his recess appointments unconstitutional will surely be appealed to the Supreme Court and Obama wants to make sure he has complete power over the Court..’

thanks for connecting the dots....I, too, would not be surprised.

I wasn’t name calling.

I meant that your assumption was simplistic, and not in line with a vast array of examples of whistle blowing that led to death of the whistle blower.

I think they had something on Roberts that would injure his family, and he was probably recalling Elian Gonzales under Clinton’s tender ministries. Supposedly, his adopted children (siblings adopted from Ireland, but through a Catholic agency in Latin America) wouldn’t meet the stringent (anti-)adoption regulations of the US, which are designed to discourage adoption and encourage abortion. Planned Parenthood has worked long and hard on this.

In any case, I think he saw himself losing his kids, and I would suspect that this was the pressure point. Even if he finally ended up keeping them, Obama would have destroyed all of their lives.

Eventually, they’ll manufacture enough chaos to force the activation of the internet kill switch. That’s their reason for being.

I hope you noticed that Janet Napolitano declared just yesterday that the Feds should be given total control (through some international agency) over the internet to ward off "attacks" and "protect" the US. Not a coincidence.

The hackers are a bit late, I’d say. Considering Roberts’ vote on Obamacare, there’s no doubt Hussein has had the dirt on all of the SCOTUS justices for a while, to be pulled out when/if needed.

Yep, that’s what it feels like. My husband thinks I’m crazy to not just give up. Maybe it’s insanity, thinking if I keep trying something will change. I just keep hoping that somebody who has the power to step up to the plate will notice the same things the rest of us peons are noticing and realize that they’ve got nothing to lose by shaking up the status quo, and everything to gain.

I can’t help but feel that that’s at least partly what’s behind this anonymous thing. Makes me think of “Braveheart”, and when William Wallace said, “You know what happens if we don’t do this...” When asked what, he responded, “Nothing.”

Sometimes for everything to stay as it is, is unbearable. Teflon, where the truth never matters, is downright scary.

The stuff we’re seeing verbalized now is stuff that before the election would have been unthinkable for anybody to say. Stuff like confiscating guns, executive orders to go around the Constitutional checks and balances and Constitution itself, lowering the standards of the military so women can meet the requirements just like the men, getting rid of the border, the continuation of the Night of the Long Knives and getting rid of military leaders who balk at ordering their troops to shoot at Americans, terrorism perhaps being exported from Benghazi while this regime arms the terrorist and Congress gets nothing but the bird from Hillary, the arming of federal agencies to fight US even while disarming us and arming our enemies such as terrorists and the drug cartels doing beheadings on our southern border and smuggling terrorists into the country, suggestions that overweight people and smokers be left to die...

Will it be enough for some of the governors, for instance, to realize they have to fight? I mean really fight, as if the existence of their state, their country, their family, and their life depends on it. Because at this point it really does. We either step up to the plate now, or everything we love dies.

I don’t know whether even anonymous’ threats can get the attention of anybody who can/will do anything. We’ll see. It is definitely an uncomfortable place to be in. Somebody has to make the first move - preferably BEFORE the boa gets any tighter around our necks.

I think that’s their plan, according to the article. If they can get any media people to agree to publish it. And that’s a big if, given that the media is owned and/or controlled by Soros’ communist-Islamist alliance.

I believe the blackmail goes deeper than just personal things. Soros asked both Hillary and Obama during the 2008 primary if they supported his plan to destroy the US economy. I believe the Sept 2008 run on the bank was a coordinated attack done by Soros’ communist-Islamist alliance, to serve 2 purposes:

1. first, to impact the election since Palin’s entry into the race had pulled McCain into the lead in the polls, and

2. second, to prove to the powers-that-be that Soros and his allies had control over enough money to collapse the US and world economy. Look back to what Pres. Bush was saying about the world as we know it ceasing to exist if they didn’t pass TARP (which was a tiny drop in the bucket compared to all the toxic assets), and you might understand what I’m saying.

I believe that the Soros cabal went to Pres. Bush and John McCain on the same day (the day McCain suspended his campaign and the day Bush told the country the world would end if we didn’t pass TARP) and told them that if they didn’t do as they were told, the communist-Islamist alliance would collapse the entire world economy. The next day they threatened the Republican leadership, including John Boehner, in a private meeting. Then they made the same threat to the owners of the cable news networks and the 2 largest talk radio networks - the threat originally being that if they reported on Obama’s ineligibility, the cabal would collapse the world economy. The media heads told their on-air personalities that the threat was for FCC and FEC annihilation but if the threats had been reported to Bush’s DOJ it could have kept Obama from being elected and the FCC/FEC threats would have been vain. Then they threatened Judge Surick (the judge in Phil Berg’s eligibility lawsuit - which had to be used instead of a petition at the DNC Convention because Bill Gwatney and Stephanie Tubbs had both been killed in the weeks before the Convention shortly after they agreed to present the petition challenging Obama’s eligibility, and the Clintons had given up the eligibility fight because the Soros machine had threatened to kill Chelsea) so he did a 180-degree turnaround on his case and claimed Berg had no standing. Then they threatened Roberts on the same day as the Supreme Court conferred on Leo Donofrio’s eligibility challenge. They threatened the eligibility judges one after another - with the more honest among them putting up red flags to show they acted under duress.

It sounds crazy since I haven’t taken the time (right now anyway) to document my reasons for believing these things, but I have a ton of reasons to believe this is the case. Nothing makes sense without it, and everything makes sense with it. Why have the R’s rolled over on EVERYTHING? Because Soros and his communist-Islamist alliance are holding a gun to the head of America and telling all these people that if they don’t do as they are told, America will be left lying in a pool of blood. That’s why even people who really love this country are seeming to betray her. That’s what I suspect, and as I said, I have a lot of reasons to back up why I believe this.

So yeah, personal smut against the conservatives can be used to try to explain what’s going on, but I think it goes much, much deeper.

Ret Col. Lawrence Sellin overheard one of the R Presidential primary candidates respond to questions about why the eligibility issue wasn’t being addressed by saying that the issue goes way too deep. It’s NOT that these people think the issue doesn’t matter, as the media wants us to believe. It’s that they know there’s been a coup, and the treachery and danger is deeper than most people would admit.

I think what I’ve described fits what that candidate said, and explains a lot. It’s why we haven’t had a budget for the last 4 years. Obama has to keep Congress over a barrel doing emotional impulse spending so he can keep running this economy dry, because if we got on stable economic ground and moved the country away from the ledge of economic collapse, the Soros communist-Islamist cabal would lose their power to send us over the edge, and their threats would no longer be effective.

I think this country is in much deeper doo-doo than any of the politicians want us to know. But they know it. They all know that 2008 was a coup, and the same threats that got both Hillary and McCain to kiss Obama’s a$$ are the same threats that are keeping all the Congress-critters, all the judges, and all the vote-tabulators obeying Soros’ orders now.

I hear what you are saying and there is merit to your suspicions. I have heard many of the things you mentioned, but to play devil’s advocate here, isn’t that a lot of people to threaten without one person blowing the lid off the whole thing? Similar to arguments against the truthers who believe the government wired up the twin towers with explosives, or even more absurd, chemtrails e.g. airliners being used to cropdust us with pathogens and chemicals? Surely out of all the people involved, it would take just one or perhaps a few to come clean and put the country first. But as of yet I have never heard of anyone making such a point-blank allegation. Even Alex Jones, as much as he’s despised on this forum has danced around it a bit, but has never connected the dots like you did above, and he presumably gets lots of anonymous tips and whatnot.
