Trump supporters dig up personal information on thousands of Trump opponents
The Hill ^ | September 21, 2017 | Ali Breland

Posted on 09/21/2017 4:25:19 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Supporters of President Trump have compiled a list containing personal information on thousands of people they believe are either opposed to Trump or associated with left-wing "antifascist" or "antifa" groups.

The list, reported by BuzzFeed, has been circulated and added to on the internet since at least April. The list, which began on 4Chan’s controversial /Pol/ board as a loose collection of names, phone numbers, addresses and social media accounts of Trump critics, has since grown into an organized document spread across the internet.

The list has also been posted on text repository site Pastebin. Several versions of the list appear to have been removed either by moderators of /Pol/, a haven for white supremacist and anti-Semitic material, or Pastebin.

The list, which is still on Pastebin, appears to violate the company’s terms of use, which bars users from posting email lists, hacked data and personal information. Versions of the list are also being hosted on other domains by pro-Trump and or far-right individuals.

Pastebin did not immediately return The Hill’s request for comment.

The list, which The Hill found and reviewed, is made up largely names and social media accounts. But the list also includes precise details about some individuals, including their residences, hobbies, and occupations.

Portions of the list were culled from names on a liberal petition that asked individuals to reject Trump and fascism. 4Chan users then pulled names from the list of people who signed the petition.

In a thread associated with the list, 4Chan users discuss some preliminary plans for how to utilize the list, like finding “recruiters” or a “chain of command” for ways to disrupt the groups. It’s unclear to what degree this is possible. Antifa groups, which are known for their willingness to use violence to disrupt events they see as associated with white supremacism or fascism, is largely composed of loose regional and local nodes which are informally organized and often independent of one another.

The list also targets and includes the contact information of members of ShareBlue, a liberal media site owned by liberal political activist David Brock.

To the extent that the people listed are Antifa or other domestic terrorists and their supporters, I am more than okay with the list. To the extent that users independently verify the list's accuracy and act (appropriately) in response, I am okay with that too. Some sissy thugs living in Mommy's basement may be discovering why the 4chan phrase "weaponized autism" is worth remembering. If the lives of Ctrl-Left bullies who launch mob attacks against the innocent are ruined by public exposure, I will not cry for them.

Ah, here it is... Obamabase :

Maxine Waters: ‘Obama Has Put In Place’ Secret Database With ‘Everything On Everyone’, Youtube ^ | 02/23/17
“The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday.   “That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it. And he’s [President Obama] been very smart....

And they even do it to their friends...

FLASHBACK-Obama campaign gives database of millions of supporters to new advocacy group
NBC ^ | 1-28-2013, yes 2013 | MICHAEL ISIKOFF
President Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has turned over its most valuable asset — a massive computer database containing personal data on millions of American voters — to a new advocacy group created to advance the White House agenda on issues ranging from gun control to immigration reform. Organizing For Action (OFA), the advocacy group set up in recent weeks by the president’s top political aides, has already acquired access to the database under a leasing agreement with the Obama campaign, Katie Hogan, a former Obama campaign aide who is now serving as spokeswoman for the lobbying group, told NBC News....

They’ve been doxxing and threatening people for years. Use their tactics against them so they will want to end the practice on all sides.

Rules of engagement: When one side has strong reliance on specific tactics and strategies, it is then permissible for the opponents to adopt the same tactics and strategies and apply them in future engagements.

Fighting with one or both hands tied behind your back is the very definition of asymmetrical warfare. The side with the least defenses is sort of on the road to defeat.

If you are to be in a fight, get in to win. Otherwise there is no point and preemptive surrender is the only option.

“Hetero-doxing”

That would be LOW, even by their standards. Imagine being a male Antifa and having some private detective snap a picture of you with a woman...instead of a guy. Your career would be RUINED.
