Wow,,the computer may be mightier than the government sword and the media butt-licking pen. Interesting. Waiting for Feinstein to demand a ban on all personal computers with confiscation to follow. Talk about damage. I’m kind of rooting for Anonymous here.
Citizens of the world, Anonymous has observed for some time now the trajectory of justice in the United States with growing concern. We have marked the departure of this system from the noble ideals in which it was born and enshrined. We have seen the erosion of due process, the dilution of constitutional rights, the usurpation of the rightful authority of courts by the "discretion" or prosecutors. We have seen how the law is wielded less and less to uphold justice, and more and more to exercise control, authority and power in the interests of oppression or personal gain."
Dear hackers,
Dig, dig, dig, and expose the Obamsdork quota baby’s sordid faked past.
I, and millions of others, will support and reward you.
You are our only hope given that our press now is an appendage of his butt.
Oh, gee, that’s such a terrible thing to do to the government. NOT!
Swartz was, imho, set up to be an example (as described by the EPA official). Unfortunately, he suffered from depression (alledgely) and it appears the Feds did not get the compliance theatrics they had hoped.
Anonymous is too far right (as in anarchist) for me, but sometimes enemy of my enemy yada yada yada.
Daylight is the best disinfectant.
Can’t argue with anything here.
I’m starting to dig these anarchists....
I personally feel so helpless against the power that can control my every movement, and de-facto alters my mind ..
(If we have to think defensively, we are no longer free to act as free men ... as a man thinketh, so is he)
Though I've never considered the computer as a weapon, I'm sure glad SOMEone has ... and DOES.
Thank you.
Go 'head, grab my number and call me
I wonder if they can corrupt the firearms database.
Some folks on both sides said OWS and theTea Party had more in common than they realized. Let Anonymous take this path and the Tea Party can raise popular resistance to the gun grab, starting with Cuomo in NY.
(1) Swartz was an adult. He decided to commit suicide on his own. That is on him and no one else.
(2) Whether he broke the law for what he believed was some higher good or not, he broke the law. Whether or not the people he stole property from had second thoughts about pressing charges is immaterial. We are supposed to be a nation of laws.
(3) Anonymous are not altruists in their self-congratulatory campaign - Swartz was closely aligned with them and his death means that he will no longer be able to give the government evidence about the crimes they have committed. Lionizing Swartz as a martyr is good propaganda for them.
(4) Swartz was not a martyr. Martyrs courageously submit to death at the hands of others rather than compromise their faith. People who kill themselves out of fear and emotional instability are not martyrs. They are just sad.
Until I got to this:
The hackers say they've infiltrated several government computer systems and copied secret information that they now threaten to make public.
Is that the one stream media mouthpiece CBS saying that or is 'Anonymous' saying that, because if you mean what you say, why threaten?
Do! Or do not. There is no "threaten".
You know the players and can see the board. If you know history and you know human nature, you can see where this is going. Again.
Time for cyber space super heroes with the power: knowledge. You know what they say, "With great power..."
So...do 'they' help our watch to become the ones who finally live up to those ideals?
Or do they fold and just cash in like everyone else? I guess we'll see.
More power to you anonymous!!!!!! go after Obama.Biden..Schumer.Cumo,Bloomberg,Pelosi,Reid,all of them....freakin Feinstein....You have alot of people behind you...

Swartz was not a sympathetic character if you read his blog (I don’t know if it’s still up), and he should have fought, and had he been a Conservative, I believe he would have, but as a moonbat he must have believed deeply in the goodness of government, especially the government of the finally arrived moonbat messiah, still the Feds, represented by a “wise Latina”, one Carmen Ortiz, Fed prosecutor, overplayed their hand, and that’s to put it lightly. In fact, they hounded him, unwilling to negotiate with his attorney in good faith. That’s one reason to support these hackers, no matter what soundasleep says.
Another slow news day at CBS.
Family and friends of Swartz, who helped create Reddit and RSS, say he killed himself after he was hounded by federal prosecutors.
Did Holder and friends think the white boy was gettin' kinda uppity?
