The latest installment of #anonymous crap involves a #wikileaks perp called "Jeremy Hammond".

"Hammond", according to the narrative, has just been jailed for 10 years for hacking STRATFOR. And for hacking 60,000 credit card accounts. From which, says wickedpedia, he pilfered $700,000. Though the proceeds of all his thievery have been donated to charity, obviously :rolleyes:

The shiteware imagery for "Hammond", the phony "ethical hacker", is very poor. The sloppy 'shoppers who manufactured "Hammond" relied on just one base image when fabricating him. Upon which, they added dreadlocks, a goatee beard, whiskery moustache, and other phony fashion appendages!!

*sigh*

Oh dear! At least the dirty dreadlocks are real, if not Jeremy Hammond!

Sorry, I mean the dreadlocks are more real than Hammond!

Or did you mean "180" as in the horizontal flip done to the Forbes image?!

A horiz flip and a new haircut is about all Forbes did to morph the phony Hammond image!

edit: sorry (typo) :o

I meant your language that seemed to indicate you thought he was real all of a sudden. Never mind. And I think you meant "more real than Hammond" rather than "that". Sorry to be a language Nazi but I think we try to pride ourselves on clear communication here, even if it comes across as stilted. I'm following you now.

By the way, the horizontal flip you just did to the imagery shows us just how little the three images show differences from one another. Even a horizontal flip looks more different! Awesome find of those three. :lol:

Thought I'd post this now that the latest farcical twist of Wikileaks has taken on a bit of a local turn of events, for those of us living in NZ.

Assange has teamed up with Kim Dotcom. Who now lives in NZ fighting extradition to the US. Wanted for video piracy as a result of setting up Megaupload the file sharing site, for down loading movies. Apparently Assange is to drop a bombshell on NZ Prime Minister John Key.

All will be revealed on September 15th at the Auckland Town Hall, the venue for a rally of Kim Dotcom.'s newly formed Internet Party. Which aims to win a few seats in the NZ elections a few days later.

Maybe Assange has been reading the Clues forum.

It all ended in farcical disaster. I attended the event and although it was interesting to be in such a politically charged atmosphere. All it proved was how bored the general public has become with these now mainstream international whistle blowers (Assange & Snowden participated via video link) with nothing new to say.
As if we never already knew our electronic communications were under surveillance.
http://www.3news.co.nz/politics/video-m ... 2014091521

A couple of days later one of the major TV networks ran a story featuring some of Kim Dotcom's ex employees, with stories about unpaid wages and being treated like shit.
Needless to say the above were punished at the ballot box the sitting Maori MP losing his safe seat.

I dont believe in the theory, outside there is the great invisible one and only power that is allways trying to eleminate humanity with exception of the elites.
I think its all a game for money with many players and one part to convince their opponents and the public is the media.

For example, i think aSSange aka snowden was send out by israel to blackmail parts of the usa and cia. His so called disclosures were mostly well known by experts for years.

aPPlebaum on the other hand was send out maybe by the nsa to justify the monstrous budget of the nsa and maybe to discredit the cia at the same time.
I watched a talk with applebaum at the ccc and he fantasised from drones, broken ciphers and cryptographs. the only sollution: his salutary tor-project! But the sensitive exitknodes of tor are controlled by the intelligence so if you use tor you use a technology that was and is financed by applebaums employer the military.
I think another part of his mission is to infiltrate the hacker scene and to convince them that tor is absolutely safe and noone has the need to create better systems than that rubbish.
Maybe he infiltrated the military and then the hacker scene or first the hacker scene and then the military!!

All these characters have one in common, a hollywood act in the public: the hunted hero, alone against the all-powerful state. That gives credibility and a free pass to spread the finest disinfo.

I think the real whistleblower is unknown to the public or dead.

Are you saying Assange is Snowden? Also why would Israel need to blackmail the US or the CIA? Surely Israel, the UK and the US are all on the same team.

Yes. Real whistle-blowers, if they exist, would surely be squelched long before they could pose any real threat. Assange and Snowden are puppets.

A hacker who either just killed himself while under federal investigation, or was suicided by the authorities - or possibly never a real person to begin with.

The conversation above was taking place about a year ago. You will remember how SOPA and Internet freedoms were fought for, and 'won', but one of the casualties was the child prodigy or phenomenon that was (allegedly) Aaron Swartz.

Please have a dip-sample watch of this potentially neo-historical production, supposedly about the life and untimely death (? reformatting?) of Aaron. The whole video feels slick, and I think the whole thing could be a construct (especially the huge amount of childhood footage. It is just far too prescient, too....documented. And the lip-synching is making my eyes jump. Anyone share doubts on this?

Reddit, one of the Internet's hugest online forums, is playing host to the enigma that is Edward Snowden in a post titled "We are Edward Snowden, Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald from the Oscar-winning documentary CITIZENFOUR. AUAA." As I type this, "he" and two others, Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald, are doing PR for their CITIZENFOUR documentary debuting on February 23 on HBO.

As is customary in AMA (or Ask Me Anything) threads, the respondent provides photographic that they themselves are there actually answering questions. Since Snowden is ether, it comes as no surprise that his proof would look something like this:

"Get Smurfy"
"On January 16, 2015, Mandy Patinkin was added to the cast of the animated adventure film to voice Papa Smurf, which was previously voiced by late Jonathan Winters in live-action/CGI films. On June 14, 2015, Demi Lovato was revealed to be cast as Smurfette, and Rainn Wilson as Gargamel."
