Latest news regarding Operation Payback....

Well folks, it seems that the war has begun.  The Cyber wars are no longer fiction folks. They are here. Twitter shut down it's accounts of users who used the tag #payback. They will probably be the next target. Sarah Palin has become a target of Operation Payback for her comments regarding Jullian Assange. I found another must read here.  Even worse are some of the comments below.....

 "Hackers are the new terrorists." - Fox News National Security Analyst KT McFarland

"We should declare them a terrorist organization, which would enable us to seize their assets and go after anyone that assists them in any way." - Rep Peter King

"He is an anti-American operative with blood on his hands... Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al Qaeda and Taliban Leaders?" - Sarah Palin

“We haven't gone after this guy, we haven't tried to prosecute him, we haven't gotten our allies to go out and lock this guy up and bring him up on terrorism charges.” - Rep Rick Santorum

"I think Assange should be assassinated, actually. I think Obama should put out a contract and maybe use a drone or something." - former PM Advisor Tom Flanagan

“We should treat Mr Assange the same way as other high-value terrorist targets: Kill him.” - conservative columnist Jeffrey T Kuhner

“Why can’t we use our various assets to harass, snatch or neutralize Julian Assange and his collaborators, wherever they are?” - former Chief of Staff William Kristol


If Jullian Assange and Wikileaks are terrorists, can you say the same for Woodward and Bernstien? How about Deep Throat or Daniel Ellsberg ? This really scares the shit out of me. The US government is saying that journalists who publish anything that embarasses the government are terrorists. The press has been the watchdog of the government since day one, great way to start going after them, call them terrorists. First Amendment states

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
I'm not surprised by much anymore, but this shit is getting a little scary. It's adding up. If we don't stand up now, fight to take america back, we will no longer be free to do so. Speak up while you still can.
