Anonymous hacks government website to avenge activist

While I sympathize with all the people and Anonymous’ attempts to bring attention to what happened to Aaron Swartz, in my personal humble opinion, hacking websites is not the way to do it.

I humbly suggest to follow in Aaron’s model and do it the way he would have done it. Aaron didn’t commit any crimes against the state in attempting to bring social justice to the many.

What is being billed and coined as breaking into MIT computers to obtain data was a ‘STING’. He was setup from the get-go and was so focused on the matter at hand that he lost sight of the bigger subtle picture of getting sucked right into a trap.

And in my strong opinion, MIT decided to say mum on the subject and let law deal with him under it’s mandate to catch hackers and such.

That system fails us all. We become slaves by compliance to it’s terms and conditions by being complicit with orders to stay within it’s bounds or else.

Being extreme with Outer Limits and testing boundaries where normal becomes Shades of Grey that puts everything and anything into question is the way to go.

Put the obvious and truth on the table long enough and use it’s inter-SEX-ions to keep it there. Use the marketing smarts of PR Spin machines, Adverstising and Branding giants and soon you’ll have audiences spread over the globe tuning in to the message.

Don’t fall into traps like those setup for Aaron, cause I’m sure that he wouldn’t repeat the same mistake twice. He was too smart for that. What did him in, in the end was the pressure of being surrounded with seemingly no exit in sight.

And that my friends is where I come in. Point out the dots in the system and machines everywhere and I’ll take it from there. If it exists and comes to light and my attention, sooner or later – I’ll take care of business.

Keep track of it, document the shit out of it and database it and copy into redundant locations everywhere for safe keeping.

Sooner or later, I’ll act on it and justice will see the light. It’ll have little choice by then not having taken the time and put in the effort to do a 180 degree turnaround while the going was good.

My promise.
