Anonymous Is Now Attacking The Klan’s Web Sites
[su_right_ad]Late last week, a Missouri-based Ku Klux Klan group issued death threats against activists who might show up to demonstrate in support of justing in the matter of Michael Brown, a young man killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
This raised the hackles (no pun intended) of the loose online collective Anonymous, who essentially declared cyberwar against America’s oldest terrorist group the white supremacist hate group. On Saturday, they began revealing the identities of the hood-loving “invisible empire” members online. Yesterday, they humiliated the pointyheaded purveyors of partitionist pique by answering their Twitter taunts with an outright takeover of two Klan-tied Twitter accounts.
Maybe they should not have wasted their time by calling a liberal blogger. Not once, but twice.
Because now, Anonymous is disrupting the racist regressives’ Web presence.
Over the wekend, Anonymous managed to knock the web site of the Traditionist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (the apparent KKK splinter cell from whom the above-cited death threats emerged) offline. The site eventually does come up in a “zombie” cached version from a cloud backup service.
By the early morning hours of Monday, kkk.com, uwkkk.com, and americanheritagecommittee.com were among the sites that Anonymous had taken offline or made unavailable.
Late this morning, Twitter posts indicated that they had disabled or disrupted other domains including serpentfront.com and kingidentity.com.
And just before 10amEST, they managed to shut down arguably the most popular and supposedly best-protected white supremacist social hub on the Web.

[su_thin_right_skyscraper_ad]Horrors! Where will all those White ‘Murrican hateriots go now to discuss how oppressed they are because they can’t issue death threats with complete impunity against those gross minority types? It just breaks the heart.

Groups like this should never piss off anyone smarter than them and that’s pretty much everyone.

It’d be nice if being willfully ignorant was excruciatingly painful.

Unfortunately it is… to the recipients of their ‘willful ignorance’
(I think it would be nice too 😉
M D Reese November 17th, 2014 at 2:48 pm
Yes–I wasn’t clear. I just fixed it–awkward but it works.

Sorry… I don’t want to give you the wrong impression… I thought it was just fine… I even quoted you. Cheers

See you on the flip-flop…

Them Hatriots better not try and come here and spout their BS. I am ready to start banning them as they come. They would be better served by crawling in a hole and burying themselves and their hate for good.

You would hope that they would learn their lesson about using technology. I’m thinking not.
tracey marie November 17th, 2014 at 12:08 pm

M D Reese November 17th, 2014 at 12:49 pm
There’s probably a lot of overlap…

you said it.

While knocking web sites offline makes us feel a little better, it doesn’t put any of these right wing racists in prison. I want them locked up for their crimes, not mollycoddled.
whatthe46 November 17th, 2014 at 7:31 pm
clever little group they are. HA!
