Update (January 6) : The BBC has a report. Like a number of other media sources, it includes criticism of the site by a journalist named Simone Rafael, who expresses concern over the violation of privacy it represents. (Rafael also writes for the liberal, state-sponsored netz-gegen-nazis.de / Network Against Nazis site.)
Update : Articles with moar better Englishs @ Hackers Against Neo-Nazis: Anonymous Takes on Germany’s Far-Right, Spiegel Online | Anonymous launches anti-Neo-Nazi site, Deutsche Welle, January 3, 2012.
…yeah so on may day 2011 some computer-talking guys did some hackery dackery doo on some nazi websites and called it #OpBlitzkrieg. (some of) the results of their investigations have now been published @ nazileaks, intended to act as a kind of repository on nazi activists. those targeted have included blood & honour, the npd, thor steinar and moar. previous hits include cheeky monkeys on the interwebs exposing nutzi hal turner as an fbi informant… (see also : Neo-Nazi sites hacked… again!, December 3, 2010)
a krap machinetranslation of zeit online says…
Nazi collects anonymous data leaks
In Nazi-leaks.net Anonymous activists gather personal data from NPD supporters and other rights. At the same time they cripple Web sites of the scene.
Parts of the hacker group Anonymous attack targeted the right scene. For several days, collects and publishes a sub-group that calls itself “Operation Blitzkrieg” on Nazi-leaks.net data – among other alleged NPD supporters, correspondence from right-wing forums and customer lists of fashion brand Thor Steinar and by mail order houses of the scene. On Monday, the hackers also placed several sites temporarily paralyzed, including the neo-platform media age, the DS and the delivery side of the NPD German newspaper voice.
Tweet with “# OpBlitzkrieg wishes all Nazis and especially Altermedia a good start into the new year!” The attacks began on Monday. The right-wing Web sites were not then available for a few more hours.
The attacks by Anonymous on the right scene, however, are not new. “Operation Lightning War” has been running for almost exactly one year. On 5 January some of the activists announced the first action against Nazis . As a reason they called their refusal to accept freedom and equality of all people, and their attacks on refugees and immigrants, on press and political opponents.
The new portal for a Nazi-leaks.net should be a platform for supporters via e-mail can submit data from the right scene – a kind of anti-fascists to Wikileaks.
Without a face
The name says it all – the Anonymous group acts as a movement without a visible hierarchy and faces. Actions of their followers dress up like a mask of Guy Fawkes. The 1605 had attempted to assassinate the King of England. That in turn inspired the authors of the comic series V – Vendetta show in the eighties, hidden behind her protagonist a Fawkes mask. He protested his actions against an oppressive and monitoring at the state, which in turn took up some Anons as a symbol for their own struggle.
Origin of the movement and the name is the image board 4chan . On the side, any unmoderated and uncensored pictures and leave messages, and specify its name. However, that hardly anyone is doing, so that most texts are marked with the name “Anonymous.”
Without hierarchy
Anonymous does not exist as an organization. It is much more an idea, a movement which wishes to everyone and everyone can use those. Coordination is also not right. The main instrument of this non-Coordinaton the Internet Relay Chat (IRC). In this free service to open any discussion channels and write in them with any number of other messages.
In changing channels there are possible targets discussed and coordinated attacks on websites. Since 2010, there is also a website to spread the messages and new promotions are announced. Currently she can be reached at anonops.blogspot.net. In addition, information via Twitter and Facebook spread.
But no one has to show up in these forums and channels to be one Anon. When in doubt, it is sufficient to support public Anonymous, as the American civil rights activist John Perry Barlow is doing, or to participate in the attacks on servers. The software to Low Orbit Ion Cannon mentioned, there are free on the net.
Without a guide
There is no boss, manager, leader or the like. On the contrary, anyone who presents himself as such in the media or the Internet may assume, in the shortest time insulted by supporters of Anonymous or even become the target of attacks to be. The self-image is that of an ant colony. So Anonymous is an implementation of the idea of the Hive Minds, the swarm intelligence. In the mass, so the idea is to make a vast difference, so it should only take the result for the mass itself.
Nevertheless, there is no such thing as an operation level within the group. At least there are some people who act as an operator on IRC, so be careful with the observance of certain rules in the chats and punish offenses against it. You do not necessarily have anything to do with the planning of actions.
Anonymous simultaneously lays emphasis on taking responsibility for the actions that were coordinated by the network. Therefore, usually letters claiming to be written. However, the movement has no influence on “lone assassin” who use their names and will not have to.
Without a goal
Anonymous sees itself as a movement that fights for freedom and against censorship network. But beyond that there are no clearly stated objectives. Actions can be set against sects as well (is the oldest known one against Scientology) as against right-wing forums, credit card companies or managers of the entertainment industry.
Also, it is not really a political movement in the core. Originally it came to pranks – on behalf of unpleasant people, for example, lots to order pizza. The fun was in the foreground or in the jargon of network: the lulz. Are meant to laugh, especially in the sense of schadenfreude.
Only gradually is it in the past few years, something like a grassroots movement grow , where the fun but still looks to the fore. As TIME ONLINE readers BadLuck wrote in a commentary : “I Came For The Lulz, but now i fight for Freedom of speech and free for the interweb.” I came because of the fun, now I’m fighting for freedom of speech and a free network.”
For the participants, however, the actions can be quite risky in doubt, as some countries like the U.S., Britain and the Netherlands have begun to pursue criminal attacks by Anonymous.
On the other hand, the activists hope that volunteers check and evaluate the published data, are looking for some names that appear in several of the leaked lists. The site works so as a pillory. The attack on the various right-wing sites should not be thought of as an accompanying modified PR measure.
Provides in the right circles, apparently for a little restless. At age media [Altermedia] that “We should also mention that references are gratefully on the identity of the pseudo-anonymous-ticks were received and are often rewarded with bonuses such as severed fingers …” How serious was meant is unclear.
You kind of people missed to ban Voltaire first. So a lot of people don´t like your ways of stopping people having a own opinion. Like Voltaire says: I don’t like the way they talk, but I fight for their right of a own free thinking. The old leftwing bunch banned Voltaire first and after the right of free opinion. By the way, I´m no Neonazi. Remember, “Red Front” in “Weimar Republik” killed 44000 people for having a own opinion (source: Deutsches Institut für Zeitgeschichte). So it is also the fault of those people, having so many people voting for the Nazi party, as they believed the lesser evil leftwing party.
G’day Herbert,
First, Voltaire never actually said “I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”.
Secondly, I’m unaware of the works of Voltaire being banned — when and by whom?
Thirdly, I don’t know how many people the Red Front murdered in Germany during the Weimar Republic, but whether it was 44 or 44,000, I don’t see its relevance.
I think he is referring to the totalitarian nature of the left.
Political Correctness is totalitarian because it seeks to silence unapproved opposition.
If the anti-racists really believed in what they believe in then they would abolish all racial vilification laws and introduce unlimited rights to free speech.
What are you people scared of?
Peter,
“I think he is referring to the totalitarian nature of the left.”
It’s an implication, perhaps, but not a sustained argument. References to Voltaire, the murderous Red Front and the reasons Germans voted for the Nazis do not add up to much of anything and certainly bear little relationship to #OpBlitzkrieg.
“Political Correctness is totalitarian because it seeks to silence unapproved opposition.”
What makes something ‘totalitarian’ is not its oppositional perspective but its extent: total. In any case, in ordinary usage, ‘political correctness’ has little to do with #OpBlitzkrieg. A more appropriate consideration would be ‘privacy’ and it’s this which forms the basis of possible legal action regarding the nazi-leaks site.
“If the anti-racists really believed in what they believe in then they would abolish all racial vilification laws and introduce unlimited rights to free speech.”
This is a nonsensical proposition as well as being irrelevant to the case at hand. First, ‘anti-racists’ adopt a variety of positions with regards ‘racial vilification’ laws and the fact that these vary does not lessen the depth of commitment to the principles of anti-racism by those who propound them. The same applies to ‘freedom of speech’, rights associated with this concept and its legislative framework. Finally, these debates have little to do with #OpBlitzkrieg.
“What are you people scared of?”
#OpBlitzkrieg kicked off with the following statement:
Let[‘]s have a track record of the anti-racist movement in the [W]estern world.
Anti-racist organisations like Fight Dem Back! and Searchlight have hounded people causing them to lose their jobs and some are unable to regain employment.
Anti-racists have taken people to court resulting in people going to jail or being fined for simply speaking their mind on matters concerning multiculturalism/racialism.
Anti-racists have committed cyber-terrorism against legal organisations and people going about their lawful business. Examples include the theft of membership lists of One Nation, National Front and the British National Party. As a result, people have lost their jobs and some have been physically assaulted by anti-racists.
Anti-racists have physically attacked nationalists on many occasions. One example would be how a man back in the 1980s was killed when an anti-racist threw a brick at him which hit his head. Other examples include Trotskyists who threw human waste at One Nation members back in the late 1990s.
Evidence has indicated that certain members of the anti-racist movement are in fact agents of state security organisations (ASIO, FBI, SIS) or provide state security organisations with information.
Certain high profile figures of the anti-racist movement have received police support and/or protection. An example would include [Mathew] Henderson, high profile figure of Fight Dem Back!, when he was protected by the NSW Police from nationalists.
The racial vilification laws make any attempt at criticising Cultural Marxism illegal. It is illegal under the racial vilification laws to publish facts about non-white crime.
As for the statement about “neo-Nazis” and National Socialism and White Racialism has murdered millions and “plunged the world into chaos” that is slightly hypocritical.
Humans are [in]equal. The movements of the 19th and 20th centuries that attempted to enforce human equality resulted in the deaths of over a hundred million people in the space of less than one hundred years. Every attempt at creating human equality has failed because it is not natural. Most problems in Australian, and indeed [W]estern societies, have been created by Cultural Marxism which is in fact a creation of the left.
The Zionist Jews have been the major players of the left since the 19th Century. Jews played a key role in the creation of Marxist Socialism and of Cultural Marxism. The twin ideologies of Marxist Socialism and Cultural Marxism have lead to the deaths of over a hundred million people during the 20th Century. Thousands of mainly White people have died because of multiculturalism in South Africa, Rhodesia and in many [W]estern countries through interracial murders and violence. Cultural Marxism is supported by many people in the leftist movement and by anarchists such as yourself, @ndy.
Cultural Marxism is of course anti-White Racialist but has no problem with other races being proud of their race. For example White Racial power or pride is denounced by people such as yourself but you have no problem with Australian Aboriginal power or pride. You claim that [it] is justifiable because it is “reverse discrimination” or “positive racism”. But it is racism and discrimination nonetheless and undermines your claims that races don’t exist and that all people are equal. The Black Empowerment Programme in South Africa and the anti-[W]hite policies of the Mugabe government have plunged millions of White Africans into poverty but the policies have not improved the lives in general of black people in South Africa or Zimbabwe.
In reality, Cultural Marxism and Marxist Socialism along with all ideologies based on the perception of human equality are disgusting and are dangerous.
Now go and suck cock, faggot!
“Anti-racist organisations like Fight Dem Back! and Searchlight have hounded people causing them to lose their jobs and some are unable to regain employment.”
Really. Who are these people?
“Anti-racists have taken people to court resulting in people going to jail or being fined for simply speaking their mind on matters concerning multiculturalism/racialism.”
Really. Who are these people? I don’t know of any person in Australia who’s been sentenced to prison after ‘anti-racists’ have taken them to court “for simply speaking their mind on matters concerning multiculturalism/racialism”. There are two recent cases of possible relevance. The first (January 2011) relates to Brendon O’Connell, “the first person in Western Australia to be convicted under the state’s racial vilification laws”. That case was brought by WA police and O’Connell represented himself. The other case (August 2009) involves Uncle Fred (Töben). In this instance, Uncle Fred went to jail for contempt of court. Neither case involved ‘anti-racists’ taking court action; neither O’Connell nor Uncle Fred were merely expressing an opinion on multi-culturalism and/or multi-racialism.
“Anti-racists have committed cyber-terrorism against legal organisations and people going about their lawful business. Examples include the theft of membership lists of One Nation, National Front and the British National Party. As a result, people have lost their jobs and some have been physically assaulted by anti-racists.”
Nonsense. What on Earth is “cyber-terrorism”?
One Nation’s membership list was not published by ‘anti-racists’ but by AIJAC (July 1998), an act that was considered to be highly controversial, both within and outside of local Jewish communities. (The publishers of the Review also claimed the infos was provided to them by disgruntled senior members.)
I’m not aware of the UK NF’s list being leaked, tho’ a coupla years ago the tiny email list of the NZNF was published online. That wasn’t a case of theft but the party’s inability to BCC.
As for the BNP, yes, on at least two or possibly three occasions of late (that I’m aware of) their membership lists have been published online (October 2009, November 2008). Responsibility for the last leak has not, to my knowledge, been established; an ex-BNP member was found guilty of leaking material in the November case. In any event, I’m not aware of anybody being assaulted following or as a result of the publication of these lists, and the only person (that I’m aware of) to have lost their job as the result of the leaks was a DJ named Rod Lucas. Finally, the list published on Wikileaks in 2009 appears to be substantially similar to the one originally leaked in 2008 and published on a blog (presumably by the guy what got done for it).
“Anti-racists have physically attacked nationalists on many occasions. One example would be how a man back in the 1980s was killed when an anti-racist threw a brick at him which hit his head. Other examples include Trotskyists who threw human waste at One Nation members back in the late 1990s.”
Anti-racists have assaulted ‘White nationalists’ yes, but in Australia such assaults are extremely rare: feel free to provide examples of convictions for assault committed under these circumstances. As for the death of a man in the 1980s, I’ve no idea. You’re free to elaborate. So too regarding Trots throwing shit at ON members; I do remember NA throwing shit on protesters during the same period but.
“Evidence has indicated that certain members of the anti-racist movement are in fact agents of state security organisations (ASIO, FBI, SIS[?]) or provide state security organisations with information.”
What evidence? Otherwise, yes of course: when thought appropriate, the state infiltrates anti-racist groups. (And racist groups. And any other group believed to pose a threat to social order.) A notable recent example is former police officer turned academic Bob Lambert infiltrating the Socialist Party front Youth Against Racism in Europe in the 1990s. He was exposed as a spy by London Greenpeace in October 2011.
“Certain high profile figures of the anti-racist movement have received police support and/or protection. An example would include [Mathew] Henderson, high-profile figure of Fight Dem Back!, when he was protected by the NSW Police from nationalists.”
Uh-huh. Presumably, you’re referring to a newspaper article from 2005 (‘Race-hate campaigner unmasked’, Greg Roberts, The Australian, August 22, 2005) in which it’s written that:
IIRC, at the time Jim made some blah about coming down to Sydney and showing Mathew who’s boss.
“The racial vilification laws make any attempt at criticising Cultural Marxism illegal. It is illegal under the racial vilification laws to publish facts about non-white crime.”
Transparent nonsense. Read the legislation.
Later hater.
Peter, sorry to butt in.
But, I just want to make a simple point to you.
There is truth to what you say, if you were to generalise about the left.
Does this mean you approve of the right? Disapprove of the right yet still find it necessary to defend them? Or do you dislike the left for ‘other’ reasons?
It just doesn’t make sense when you fight hate, yet appear to defend it at the same time.
As for the statement about “neo-Nazis” and National Socialism and White Racialism has murdered millions and “plunged the world into chaos” that is slightly hypocritical.
Hardly. First, the statement is directed at neo-Nazis. Secondly, the Nazis and the puppet regimes they installed throughout Europe did indeed murder millions of civilians: Jews, Roma, Sinti and others, in accord with their ideology and their crazed desire to cleanse the continent of these ‘sub-human’ populations. Finally, the statement would be hypocritical only if those responsible for issuing it claimed the same mandate, which they expressly do not.
“Humans are [in]equal. The movements of the 19th and 20th centuries that attempted to enforce human equality resulted in the deaths of over a hundred million people in the space of less than one hundred years. Every attempt at creating human equality has failed because it is not natural. Most problems in Australian, and indeed [W]estern societies, have been created by Cultural Marxism which is in fact a creation of the left.”
More nonsense. What were these movements and whom did they kill? The movements against slavery did not ‘enforce equality’, they resisted racial oppression. By the same token, equality before the law and movements for women’s rights did not emerge in the 19th and 20th centuries but (in Europe at least) as the logical extension of liberal Enlightenment values: citizens did not obtain the right to legal representation and women did not obtain the franchise through committing mass murder. In any case (and in summary), to collapse several hundred years of social struggle into such fatuous propositions as you do above is simply idiotic.
“The Zionist Jews have been the major players of the left since the 19th Century. Jews played a key role in the creation of Marxist Socialism and of Cultural Marxism. The twin ideologies of Marxist Socialism and Cultural Marxism have lead to the deaths of over a hundred million people during the 20th Century.”
Further stoopid. ‘Zionist Jews’ constitute a tiny fraction of movements of the left, and Jewish nationalism has assumed diverse forms; many of the most prominent Jewish intellectuals of the nineteenth century (Marx for example) opposed Zionism — an ideology whose growth was to a large extent the result of the failure of other emancipatory movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries…
As for the rest, I couldn’t be arsed. You’re an ignorant, ill-mannered, racially-obsessed pissant, and will no longer be gracing my blog with your ill-informed diatribes.
Peter, your only chance now is to revert back to your former role as General Secretary of the Stalinist League of Australia (Warwick) and fighting the Anti-Normal People’s Alliance at the tuck shop.
Peter~
Judging from your remarks, homophobia, racism, and lack of information, I can safely speculate that you:
1) Are probably, at best, a right winger, or at worse, a neo-Nazi.
2) Have no valid facts to support your argument, so, like most right-wingers, claim democracy is in jeopardy, when in fact the only thing in jeopardy is your perceived white skin privilege.
3) Have very little or no self-esteem at all, because of your need to belittle others who defeat your rhetoric with facts and logic.
4) Are very cowardly, since you, like most trolls, are extremely brave online, but wouldn’t dream of saying what you feel free to say on a forum in public.
5) Have deep-seated issues regarding your sexuality, seeing as you feel a need to attempt winning an argument by asking for oral sex.
Your mediocrity is stunning, not because of the vile beliefs you hold, but the fact you revel in your own stupidity, and think others are impressed.
To be proud of something like that is too pitiful for description.
