Makes me wonder if those are Gov’t paid operatives designed to be the fall guy operation for a false flag event.”

My thoughts exactly. If they were the terrible danger that the government portrays they would be toast, very quickly. Of course our government and it’s loyal and patriotic intelligence and police agencies would never stoop this low to manipulate their fellow citizens.

BUMP and bears repeating

Has anybody wondered why the left can engage in acts of domestic terrorism and nobody cares?

The Occupiers shut down the port in Oakland, which is an act of terrorism under the law, and Obama and Holder did nothing.

I don’t understand why conservatives are always concerned about what is happening a million miles away and will chase Muslims living in caves across the world when we have enemies on our own soil who want to destroy our country.

Only the dumb ones operate from their own equipment.

Ever wonder why all the PC's at your public library are tied-up by smelly hippies all day?

You wouldn't care for that approach if your own computer was appropriated as part of a bot network and was the responsible machine for launching the attack. Your fingers. Your computer. Your IP address. Do you prefer a new or used rope?

having not read the turner diaries I am unaware of that quote. However I am familar with this quote, which likely came out before the diaries...

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." -Jefferson.

Anything on WHY they want to do this?

Not in the article and neither does it say Anonymous claims it wishes to or is able to.

Unless I've missed it, Anonymous's hacks have all been relatively easy: website DOS and poorly defended targets.

I don't understand this article. Is Anonymous threatening this action? If they can, just how poorly protected does this mean the grid is?

Agreed, but it’s disturbing that the quote can be coopted by racist militias and left wing anarcho/ Marxists.

My DoD customer just went on a certification kick. I'm going to add the "CEH" cert to my resume to meet their expectations. Just started through the study guide. Mostly old hat. Stuff I've been doing for 25 years. Putting the cert on my resume just means it will be "officially" recognized.
