Billionaire Koch Brothers Next Target of "Anonymous" Hacker Group

[BridgeTheGap]

The decentralized protest group "Anonymous" has a new target: no, it's not a middle eastern dictator, a major bank or even a bit player in the military-industrial complex.

It's none other than tea party financiers Charles and David Koch, who were being targeted, an open letter stated, for their attempts "to usurp American Democracy."

"Koch Industries, and oligarchs like them, have most recently started to manipulate the political agenda in Wisconsin," an announcement posted to anonnews.org declared.

"Governor Walker's union-busting budget plan contains a clause that went nearly un-noticed. This clause would allow the sale of publicly owned utility plants in Wisconsin to private parties (specifically, Koch Industries) at any price, no matter how low, without a public bidding process," they explained. "The Koch's have helped to fuel the unrest in Wisconsin and the drive behind the bill to eliminate the collective bargaining power of unions in a bid to gain a monopoly over the state's power supplies.

1. More power to them

I am a little concerned sometimes about their extralegal activities, but as long as they fight the good fight I'm sticking with 'em.

2. IMHO - big money has corrupted the system so badly, these types of actions are warranted. As long

as "anonymous" isn't taking violent action, I view this as a potent counter to corruption.

5. BridgeTheGap...well said! I'm going to use it

on my husband...he thinks Anonymous and WikiLeaks shouldn't be doing anything remotely against the law.

Since the laws are only used against those of us without millions of dollars, I say the laws are made to be broken, violated, and ignored...as long as you are willing to accept any consequences of course!

3. .................

Without the death and violence, of course.

6. Instead of just disrupting them

Anonymous should try to crack in and access data that exposes their agenda, their political connections, etc. And then, of course, publish same.

That may be suggesting too much ... but somehow I think these guys could pull it off it they put their minds to it ...
