Anonymous declares war on terrorists
2015-01-11
[NEWS.AU] HACKING collective Anonymous has declared war on Islamic terrorism vowing to destroy jihadist websites and social media accounts.

In response to the horrific terrorist attacks in Gay Paree that began with the massacre at the offices of Charlie Hebdo
...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...
, Anonymous posted a video on YouTube directly confronting Al-Qaeda and Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
.

In the video a person in a Guy Fawkes mask which is the groups unofficial symbol reads out the warning in French.

We are declaring war against you, the terrorists, the figure says, adding that the hacktivist group plans to shut down all terrorist accounts on social media in Dire Revenge for the killing of staff at the satirical magazine.

Anonymous

The video was uploaded to the groups Belgium YouTube account and an English version also appeared online.

Earlier, Anonymous posted a statement on Pastebin, titled: Message to the enemy of the freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech has suffered an inhuman assault Disgusted and also shocked, we cannot fall to our knees. It is our responsibility to react.

#6  Well, let's give them a chance and see how much damage they can do to the jihadi and fanatic websites before boredom sinks in.

I've wondered before why our best and brightest in the cyber commands haven't taken this approach and fried hard drives throughout the world. If sysnex could do such a good job on Iranian centrifuges, why can't a liberal dose of THAT help in the GWOT?

Of I forgot there isn't a GWOT...the terrorist went away when he was elected.

#2  Good luck skript kiddiez. If these guys find you in your mom's basement or your dorm room, you will die, quite messily. Unlike law enforcement, these radicals dont give a shit about laws or humanity.

#1  Now if they would have taken that approach from the beginning, they would have done just fine.
