| Stay tuned to WikiLeaks; it seems We The People might have had some 'anonymous' help with the election | |

Anonymous saved the election? (TEXT) Through the website Wonkette today, the hacker collective Anonymous released a statement on the election, and the content of the statement is an eye opener:  While some might consider this a random letter, or a jump to claim responsibility, if you step back and study the letter carefully a very clear message comes out. They cite specific numbers. They state precisely how many tunnels are there. They cite how many passwords were attempted. But, there are key words which look innocent but, to a computer engineer, are very much a trigger. These phrases are (our emphasis): We noticed these tunnels were strategically placed to allow for tunnel rats to race to the sewer servers from three different states. Now, to a normal person a rat is just that: a furry animal or a slang term for a scoundrel. But to a computer person, a rat is something radically different, a r.a.t. hack. The Remote Administration Tool hack is a method of remotely accessing a machine as if it were local. Using such a hack, you would have full access to the machine, at a level someone physically at the machine may not have. A “sewer server” is a term used to denote a hack over a secured tunnel, known as a Secured SHell (SSH), using a form of encryption designed to make it appear to be innocent background traffic. This is not some general discussion, making claims in order to claim. They have released clear and specific details on what exactly was done, information which the people behind Orca can verify. Even more telling, however, is the name the group used for their denial of service attack: The Great Oz “Oz” refers to the land in the classic movie, The Wizard of Oz; more currently, it refers to the television show Oz,which is about a prison. And the actions the group took was to attempt to hack the election into jail, locking it away. It broke, absolutely. We reported on the failures of Orca and its public face earlier. What Anonymous is claiming is that Orca’s public face was a farce, a lie. It was not to coordinate poll challengers so much as to steal the election. The little cherry on top, however, is the hint that Anonymous not only blocked the operation, but kept copies of the code and data from Orca and are planning on leaking it to wikilinks [sic]. If and when this happens, you know AI will be there. Edited by OperaTenor, Nov 17 2012, 09:15 PM.

That's what trolls look like. "I'll out you and I have the evidence, but I haven't outed you yet, so be afraid!". The whole thing reeks of posing. This is a kid in a basement. |

It could very well be. The proof will be if something turns up at WikiLeaks. |

I LOVE Wikileaks, sunlight being the best disinfectant. Only slimeball scumbag people and governments need to keep secrets. If a few people die, so be it. As in war a higher cause pwns the value of the lives of some govmnt employees. |

Regarding the Anonymous letter, I really like their flare for the theatric. We need a lot more of that going around today. As to its actual substance, time will tell, but generally speaking Anonymous are pretty alright by me. |

Yeah, you're right. And, there being a comic is extra super duper proof that you're right. Lying to your SO is so much better than you both growing up, ending the pretending, being real and honest because everyone on the earth is too insecure and brainwashed by impossible myths from Hollywood and religion regarding what love is supposed to be like. No two people in a relationship could possible be developed enough to be realistic and honest and accept the other and themselves as they really are. Good point. |

I'll admit, a comic strip isn't much upon which to support an argument but when you don't even get the point of the joke, I don't think you're in much of a position to judge. There's a difference between honesty and complete and total full disclosure. No human being with the social skills above a baboon tells everyone everything they're thinking, all the time everywhere. That's called having tact. Keeping some things reserved because they'd cause more damage when expressing them outright is an example of discretion. And you might have heard this before but some consider it the better part of valor. In other words, the point of the cartoon is that parroting trite maxims about honesty and openness doesn't do you a damn bit of good the moment you try to apply them to the infinite complexity of human relationships, and even when lying is completely off the table, it can often times be very difficult to know exactly what to say and how best to say it. That is, for anyone who has even the slightest consideration for other people at all. Since this is true for people with everyday lives and relationships, I have no doubt it gets much, much trickier when it's your job to represent an entire nation of people. |

I'm not totally convinced that the rather annoying individual who runs Wikileaks has been totally honest about his personal relationships. Of course, it's always been a sh!t-load easier to be brutally honest about what everybody else does wrong. |

Yeah if he raped he should rot in jail, but that is a separate matter and does not take away from the noble mission of Wikileaks. Only those who do wrong fear leaks. |

See, right there. That's why the incontinent are prone to anti-social behaviors, kenny, because of nasty, judgmental stuff like that. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Then you wouldn't mind posting your address and phone number. Throw in your SS number as well. |

I'm sure the guy working undercover pretending to be an Islamist would wholeheartedly welcome being unmasked as an agent of the decadent West in the interests of Julian Assange's vision of truth and beauty. |
