Today Ecuador asked for aid in the cyber attacks generated by Anonymous over the expulsion of journalist Julian Assange from their London Embassy. In an article by La Republica seen here, the Deputy Minister of Information and Communications technology stated:
“Yes, we are going to receive help, as a result of which we began to have attacks, there were calls from other States to offer the support that we could require,” explained the Deputy Minister of Information and Communication Technologies, Patricio Real.“
“The damage of the offensive is reduced for the moment to the implantation in an official page of a local Government of a photograph of Assange with the thumb lifted, taken the day of its processing in London, and another similar case.“
“In the last five days, Ecuador has suffered “more attacks than in its entire history together,” he said.“
Over 40 million attacks in Ecuador this weekend alone and at least e0 sites were down
Recently, Anonymous has also warned the United Kingdom to release Assange or suffer chaos. It remains to be seen what will happen next.
Anonymous: “Expect us.”
Note: Wikileaks and Julian Assange have no affiliation with Anonymous.
Wikileaks and Assange are publishers.
Assange is “guilty” of two “cardinal sins”: Revealing US war crimes committed in Iraq and; Committing the unpardonable sin of publishing the emails of Clinton, Podesta and the Democratic National Committee, thereby revealing such chicanery in US domestic politics as the fraud committed against Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primaries. These revelations among the many (Vault 7, Torture, Diplomatic cablograms), by Assange’s Wikileaks, these transgressions in the eyes of the US ruling elite, struck at the very foundations on which the edifice of “American exceptionalism” is built, namely, the democracy that is meant to be a light unto the world, and the “just wars” that flow from a missionary zeal to make the world safe for democracy. The media and politicians accordingly crow about the “beautiful missiles” and other high-tech weaponry that will be employed in the ensuing humanitarian interventions, while omitting to mention that the military-industrial complex that benefits so much from endless wars may be the very donors who fund the warmongering politicians into office, and that the warmongering editorial line of newspapers may be influenced by share portfolios of the editors themselves. Releasing footage of US military personal laughing as they slaughter dozens of clearly unarmed Iraqis civilians from the distant safety of an Apache helicopter is one of the strongest ways of showing how false, artificial and propagandistic the concept of “humanitarian war” and “responsibility to protect” (R2P) is. In today’s communication age, that footage, those images, that laughter, are a very powerful antidote against the lies we are daily fed by our media corporations. The mainstream media will never tell us that the reason why Washington has been at war for half of the last two centuries is because of US imperialism. They will never tell us that the ceaseless interventions are driven by an insatiable greed for resources, or often enough by the simple desire to plunge a country into chaos if its recalcitrant leaders refuse to genuflect appropriately and show due respect. That footage straightforwardly debunked all the thousands of accumulated hours of media propaganda You can now tag your friends in your status or post. Type @ and then type the friend’s name.
