Another public site down. Wow! Government websites being down. lol. So, these hackers... attack public websites. The media claims them to be smart. Then, why do they attack a government website that is public? Also, the government officially has their own network. They don't even use the public internet everyone knows. ; ) Anyone familiar with their governments/milita ry, knows they have their own private network and phone lines. Give me a break with the wannabe's!

I would suggest this is a self inlicted wound(if at all).   We're being set up for "security attack" that will enable the federales to tighten the noose further.  It drives them nuts that we can communicate freely.  This must stop.

Ignorant fools that believe anonymous is the CIA, just like to make you all aware that they originated on 4chan back in 2003.

The cause of the blaze wasn't immediately clear.The fire sent plumes of smoke high into the air. The city fire department has scrambled more than a dozen of fire engines to extinguish the blaze.

Some technical visions that are coming up in the future:
1. Internet converts to a kinda global net (faild states are disconnected from this, the DNS Root Servers like today will no more exists.)
2. Google/Facebook come together take over the whole internet market.
3. Operation Systems no more come from DVD or a storage mediums as it is already installed as soon you connected with the global net over fibre. The operational system is called GOOGLE.

CISPA is the first step to become that true. A World War 3 would also end up in same results or even much worst. So what is our all descision to do against this? Should we team up or should we break appart?

I wouldnt' be surprised if Anonymous was an extension of the CIA, and what they are doing now is just for show. Prove legitamacy.

If Anonymous were really serious - they would start taking out Google.
Google has brought in some terrible new practices - and must be Dealt With.

Like what? I don't really follow them but I do know they aren't in business in China because they wanted google to censor things. I also know they are the best employer in the world practically, and they support humanitarian projects all over the world. I personally think google does much much much more good than bad. They also opposed SOPA.

Anyone with any computer sense knows that bring down a public web site means very little.
each act of rebellion and denial of submission is significant.   It doesn't really matter if these acts don't fracture the establishment.  What's more important is the demonstration that our spirit isn't crushed.  We shouldn't bow our heads and sink into despair because resistance isn't like in the movies.

The evil Zionists leading Apartheid Israel thru their spy infested AIPAC US Washington DC Lobby and their puppet US Congressmen, Senators are the very ones pushing and slamming multiple Internet Censorship and File Banning as well as extremely harsh penalty's on those they allege are illegally sending or receiving classified or copywrite files.

Instea d of directly attacking those same evil Zionists and Anon helping to promote the Boycott, Deinvest and Sanction Apartheid Israel global campaign Anon goes after the hydra heads like swinging a bat at a hornets nest which fly out and sting all civilian computer users.

Such is only helpful when the evil records of the Zionists agenda and actions are exposed to the public showing the Zionists as the roaches they actually are fully in the spotlight which they themselves hate to be in.

However lacking the public disclosure of those secret files and behind the scenes Satanically evil contracts, agreements discovered by non-western computer crackers, Anon appears to be actually adding momentum to the evil Zionists pushed Internet Censorship and File banning legislation now being slammed down the throats of the Western nations citizens.

My feeling in talking with some alleged Bahrain F1 Anon members was that the Mossad had infiltrated among them, whenever I spoke out in opposition of the depravity's of the Zionists in their helping to brutally crush the Bahrain opposition movement, the Anon Bahrain F1 members and spokespersons were Zionist apologisers and deniers which entirely gives the impression of Mossad infiltration and Zionist boot-licking sympathisers among the Anon membership.

this attack seems like a prelude to the next big move by ANON. Remember last year? when they stole a load of e-mails, credit card info and whatever else from US gov sites? Well, this one looks like a joke but it is still keeping the victims busy fixing the damage instead of looking for the perpetrators. These kids (some are prolly adults) definitely know a thing or two about hacking and masking their identity. US should just give up. Give up on all fronts. There is not only Anons out there. The whole world and more and more people in US are disagreeing with american gov. Do they really want to take it all the way to the absolute defeat? Are they deaf dumb blind back there in US of A? Soon there will be noone left on there side exept for a bunch of soldiers too high on meds and maybe a couple of rednecks.

RT is OBSESSED whenever a bunch of losers sitting in their parents' basements bring down a website for a few minutes. Awesome "news" source, idiots!

Sounds like they need to hire some 'Real Time' webmasters to switch venues to a secondary subdomain when this happens. DDOS is amateurish at best and is like dropping a couple tons of kimchee on seoul in an oxcart.

Nothi ng of Value was Lost... (now, when they actually CHANGE the front page -or- access secure files, THAT is Hacking and not this stupid script kiddie/juvie stunts these invasion board clowns are pulling)

It wouldn't be too hard to jump into the 'Community' and monitor where/when these attacks are being planned and pull the plug, but its going to take a lot of work and patience, but lock out a few key discussion boards, then freeze a few key info/dumps & tweet accts and these folks will start knifing each other.

Way to false-report RT. The attack was done by UG, not anonymous. The @youranonnews account and others apologized for mis reporting the attack... get ur facts straight RT.
