“A large-scale breach of the domain registrar and web hosting company Epik has exposed a massive trove of data...”


Okkk! So Epik only allows “right wing “ individuals to use their service?

Perhaps my question was phrased poorly. I have never heard of Epik and don’t know why it is reported every secret of right wing are exposed.

So once again, what is so special about Epik and why are they so happy hacking it?

No the Robinsons own their own server and host the site themselves.

I hope that’s true, because it seems to me everyone in this country to the right of Mao Zedong and Stalin is under attack in one form or another. Stepping back and looking at it from the “10,000 foot level,” it seems to be a concerted effort from multiple sources at once to destroy ALL opposition to the Left. I don’t know how we extricate ourselves from the apparent communist takeover of our country from within.

Well what we call "the Left" is really just the modern variant of something that has been coming in different guises through all human history. The current variant will defeat itself, even if we do not defeat it. And the new variant may very well blame the disasters and bigotries of our current variant on those that do not join them.

Ultimately what victories I think we can have is in how we live our own lives. That we stay honorable and noble and try to be an example to our neighbors not to buy into the division and bigotries and tribalism that this blight on the world promotes.

This is not a “hack.” It an insider who was given a trusted position that included access to these sensitive data and proceeded to copy the files to a clear text format and hand it over to unauthorized people outside the company. He’s committed a Federal Felony Crime.

It’s pure and simple corporate espionage, a crime. A felony.

Brain fart? I would have thought the much reviled spellcheck was hard at work.

Whats a “epik”?

It’s spelled Euripik, and it’s an atoll southwest of Yap.

“We just want to ban the extremists,” said the “anti-hate” groups.”

AND... those wishing to ban the hate groups often become a hate group through wanton and constant violence, attacks, punishment.

What needs to happen is constitutional law and constitutional order. Which the left can’t seem to bring themselves to understand. Preferring instead, a freewheeling legal system that can bend and shape itself as required to stifle any perception of tarnishing the image and message.
