After Hack by Neo-Nazi Group, Anti-Semitic Fliers Appear on Campus Printers
Inside Higher Ed ^ | 3-28-16

Posted on 03/28/2016 10:11:23 AM PDT by SJackson

Students at various colleges nationwide were stunned and upset Friday to find anti-Semitic fliers (below)

on campus printers. Many students initially assumed that someone in their library or residence hall had printed the flier. But as the day went on, more campuses reported the same flier on their printers. The flier -- including two swastikas -- accuses Jews of "destroying your country through mass immigration and degeneracy." A neo-Nazi group that runs the website called The Daily Stormer (named in the flier) took credit for hacking the various printers and expressed pleasure in the distress of students who found the fliers.

Colleges and universities that received the fliers denounced them and said that they were investigating how their printers were hacked and were taking steps to try to prevent further such hacking.

Among the institutions where the fliers showed up were Brown University, California State University at Long Beach, Clark University, DePaul University, Northeastern University, Oregon State University, Smith College, Princeton University, the University of California at Davis, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the University of Oregon, the University of Rhode Island and the University of Southern California.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups, called The Daily Stormer an "up-and-comer in the heated competition to rule the hate web." The center's report on the website may be found here.

In an unrelated incident students at Hollins University were surprised on Easter morning to discover that someone had painted a swastika on the Rock, a campus landmark that students regularly paint with various messages, The Roanoke Times reported. Campus security immediately painted it over, and students later repainted again, with the message "Take Back the Rock."

Had this flier been about Illegals and showing the Mexican flag instead of the swastikas, all hell would break loose......................

Is this the same college where the students are in need of counseling and are frightened for their safe places because of a TRUMP 2016 chalk graffiti was put on one of their holy campus walls?....................

Could be. Some SJW-type trying to provoke another, ho-hum, “serious” discussion about tolerance and acceptance?

A flyer asking students if they are sick and tired of the Jews? That easily could have come from one of the Boycott Israel campus groups.

Had the anti-Semitism come from a bunch of Palestinian supporters the university would endorse it and make attendance at the anti-Israel rally mandatory.

False flag would imply the victims, in this case Jews, did it. That would fly in the face of Andrew Auernheimer (you can find his article on black hat hacking on the referenced site) being acknowledged as the hacker responsible, according to Andrew Anglin, editor of the referenced site, in an interview with the Daily Princetonian.

Don’t know which college that was, a dozen and a half to two dozen have acknowledged the printer incidents, mostly on the coasts.

In case the flyer guy hasn’t noticed, Jews are not busy immigrating into USA _ the immigrants are primarily Mexican and Muslims ( there’s the big big biggest danger!!!!!!) and Chinese , with some others. But he’s sick. I hope he gets good expert help to get over his illness ASAP.

No, false flag could could also mean that libs did it to blame on those ugly racist conservative republicans. It’s a short jump from there to blaming it on “Trump supporters.” This was a college campus they appeared at and that’s just their game.

Who did it is known, and they’re not conservatives.

I’m always convinced by printer hacks to change my political views .

I read in a couple college paper articles that this wasn't hacking. Out of curiosity I did a quick search for printers public and was surprised to see the number of printers, particularly academic institutions, who make their printer addresses public. Some require some sort of authentication, others don't.

I don’t know that they are known. One of the flyers had a web address of a far right site but once can put anything they want on a flyer.

1. It wasn't a hack. It was a bash script connecting to internet-connected printers.

2. The guy behind it, "Weev", is a known white supremacist.

3. Details here: https://securityledger.com/2016/03/hacker-weev-says-he-sent-anti-semitic-literature-to-campuses/

Any bets as to whether this is a ‘false flag operation” by local leftists?
