The self-described patriot hacker known as “The Jester” says he will carry out cyber attacks on countries considering granting asylum to Edward Snowden.
Beginning early Monday, The Jester hacked into several government websites in Ecuador as reports circulated that Snowden, who divulged secrets on the National Security Agency’s spying programs, could be headed there.
With Venezuela emerging as a possible landing spot for Snowden, The Jester told FoxNews.com he could turn his attention to that South American country.
“These are enemies and I that's how I will be treating them, and anyone who facilitates them,” The Jester told FoxNews.com in an online interview.
The Jester’s real identity is not known, but he has hacked into various jihadist websites, taking down Internet forums where terrorists and wannabes gather online. He calls himself a “hacker for good,” and he told FoxNews.com that he sees people like Snowden and Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks mastermind who has also disseminated government secrets, as similarly dangerous to U.S. interests. “As jihadis groom Muslims online to commit acts against us, so [Julian Assange] grooms government personnel like [Army private and accused leaker Bradley] Manning and Snowden to do his dirty work,” the Jester told FoxNews.com.
The Jester’s computer is on display in exhibit at the International Spy Museum in Washington. The museum’s website describes him as a force against leakers and terrorists: “The mysterious real-life hacktivist known only as Th3J35T3R (THE JESTER) shuts down websites he opposes,” the website states. “Once he has successfully disabled targets such as Wikileaks or radical Islamist sites, he triumphantly tweets ‘TANGO DOWN.’” The latest hack attacks by The Jester are not his first targeting Wikileaks or its associates. In 2010, he knocked Wikileaks’ servers offline when it was dumping State Department cables.

That is the International Spy Museum.
Maybe he could get us Obama’s original birth certificate, his college records, and anything else Obama has cloaked.
The Jester had better hope Snowden does not have his Social Security number, home address and sexting pics on his thumb drive.
