Anonymous Set to Take Down Trump on April Fool's Day

In less than 24 hours, Anonymous will officially launch a cyber-attack on Republican frontrunner Donald Trump. The hacker group declared “total war” on Trump on March 15 with a video posted on its YouTube channel, dubbed #OpTrump. In the video, Anonymous invites hackers and anyone with a computer to shut down the billionaire businessman’s websites, expose his private information, “dismantle his campaign and sabotage his brand” on April 1.

“Your inconsistent and hateful campaign has not only shocked the United States of America, you have shocked the entire planet with your appalling actions and ideas. You say what your audience wants to hear but in reality you don’t stand for anything except for your personal greed and power,” said an Anonymous member in the video.

This is not the first time the group has targeted Trump; Last December, they declared digital war on the real estate mogul after he proposed to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S.

Anonymous is NOT pro Establishment.

Hence, The Establishment Criminals will attack Trump web site on April 1st.

Everybody gets that anonymous is a few pranksters punking the media rather than hackers with sophisticated abilities right?

I think it was outed as such long ago.

Sabu was a mole for the FBI, and was directing activities including Occupy Wallstreet.

At the same time, he was being directed BY the FBI.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector_Monsegur

I don’t think that after all that, the FBI would cease all infiltration into the group. There are certainly more moles in that group working for the CIA and Justice Dept one could pretty safely assume.

That’s just the wikipedia link above, there is plenty more info out there. I recently watched a documentary on it (though the name of it eludes me, it was on Netflix).

Anything that this bunch of a-holes try to do to Trump would only help him with the voters.

Now that’s funny and there’s probably some truth to it.

I guess that’s one page Anonymous supposedly leaked last night, some twitters from them are suggesting there is more, but it gives no further clarification on the TX numbers.

One would have to cross-reference with Cruz schedule if they were made from his office in TX. Wonder if he was in access of those numbers while in those locations.

Curious what they would find on Trump. Probably that they used his hotels, I can’t imagine anything more, but I could be wrong. Could be campaign staffers engaged with the madam.

I just don’t see Trump having the time, people say he is constantly surrounded by others, sleeps when travelling, and basically lives in a fishbowl 23 hours a day.

But, who knows. We’ll see.

that’s why i’ll be a lot more excited about Obama’s departure when I KNOW he’ll be replaced by one of ours.

It is hard to figure with all these alphabet agencies, but presumably it would be NSA that would have a mole or moles in anonymous.

Of course these days probably the FBI is spying on the CIA which is spying on the NSA which is spying on the FBI.

The national security state has definitely jumped into surreal mode at this point.

The whole notion of taking down someone you disagree with is so un-democratic to begin with, anyone who goes to such measures is really not interested in the free exchange of political thought.

If people disagree with Trump the only proper response is to get on your soapbox and publish / speak / get out in the media, your ideas. If you make a more compelling case it is up to the voters, in fact it is the voters responsibility, to sort it out.

Shutting down opposing messages, only shows contempt for the voters, it shows you do not trust the citizens to make up their own minds.

The people who want to shut down the marketplace of ideas, in the name of promoting a free exchange of ideas, are a real threat to our form of self government.

whatever anonymous is, it is part of the leftist totalitarianism that is killing our country and persecuting our people.

I just now accessed Trump’s campaign website. There was a short delay with a screen saying that they were verifying my computer. So, it looks as if they are prepared for this attack, if it materializes.

BTW, I see that in addition to two events on Saturday, he has added a town hall event in West Allis WI on Sunday at 7pm.
