"Anonymous" to "unhood" Klan members
« on: October 29, 2015, 06:15:48 PM »

I don't know if these "Anonymous" mooks are stuck in a time warp, imagining that the KKK is really a threat, or if they just plan on smearing a bunch of conservatives. Or, more likely, they want to be in the news?

I'm thinking all of the above.

Or, they found the easiest targets they could get too, and it happened to be the KKK this time.

I think a lot of who anonymous goes after has to do with availability of an online target, rather than a planned "let's get THESE guys"

In other words, anonymous stumbled upon some KKK online presence and figured out it would be easy to hack, so now they announce they are going after KKK, like it was the plan all along.

So they can say anyone they don't like is a member of the Klan and how is that person going to be able to prove they are not?

If Carson stays at the top of the current GOP polls what are the chances he is included in the list? Maybe even identified as the Grand Muckity Muck?

So a group named Anonymous, dedicated to breaking laws the disagree with,  thinks the world has some right to know the identities of folks in an anonymous club......

Ok then

I have no problem with exposing actual KKK members. *expletive deleted*ck `em as far as I am concerned. Does that make Anonymous righteous/good? no, not at all. They are lawless vigilantes and black hat hackers who make geeks like me look bad. *expletive deleted*ck them too.  [ar15]

I would bet there's probably less then 1000 members.  And probably twice that number of informants/undercover mooks.   IIRC, wasn't is during the COINTELPRO days that the FeeBee's discovered that had so thoroughly infiltrated the Klan that at least two (and I think it was more) KKK "cells" consisted of nothing but their undercover guys and informants ??

I'm guessing it will be something like that. If it's not, then I can't see it being very impactful for the public at large. A few malcontents lose their jobs, or have trouble with black neighbors and acquaintances. And that's about it.

But they claim the KKK is committing all sorts of violent crimes. Not sure what that's about.


Dogmush, they've always been about publicizing secrets, so...

As I understand it, the Klan was put down pretty hard back in the late 19th, and at other times since then. But as soon as a bunch of racists get together and decide to start it back up again - well, they're like Anonymous in that way. That's why I have to laugh at Anonymous claiming they'll end the Klan for good.  ;/  It would be great if they could.

I said "conservatives" because, if Anon makes false accusations against people who've never been involved with the Klan, who do you think they'll target?

Sort of like the online jailbait. 



It would be interesting to see Anonymous go after groups of folks who have done actual damage to America, rather than unicorns in pointy hats.

With a declining membership, today's Klan is desperately trying to broaden its appeal . . .

Yeah, I'm guessing that if nothing comes of it, it's because the percentage of informants outed is higher than the actual members, or there's too many FBI assets exposed, and the FBI threatened/asked Anonymous to back off.
I promise not to duck.

But he is probably still a registered voter somewhere. 

I imagine there are still plenty of racists out there, but I bet most are either 1) not dumb enough to join a group like the KKK, or 2) aren't the right color to be admitted.

Accusations sans evidence, and no one's on the hook to provide evidence. Heck, that's pretty neat. Let's all get in on the act.
