Operation KKK Is Beginning To Unmask Hate Group Ku Klux Klan Members – List Of Netouyo Being Circulated In Japan
According to the article, “Operation KKK”
will begin to unmask Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members.
Incidentally, a list of *Netouyo called “#HasumiList” is being circulated in Japan. They say that it is a list of people
who speak highly of the blogger of “Hasumi Toshiko World”, who created
an illustration depicting a Syrian refugee in a ridiculous manner. Ms. ToshikoHasumi is reportedly a manager for “Facebook ‘Group to support Prime MinisterAbe.’”
There are many weird people around Prime
Minister Abe.
(Note) *Netouyo means right-wingers on the
Internet.

KKK Is Beginning To Unmask Hate Group Ku Klux Klan Members

Operation KKK, an Anonymous-led effort
to shut down the Ku Klux Klan, has begun in earnest.
The main Twitter account is reporting that many KKK-related
sites are down after concerted hacking efforts and that more are to come as
they prepare for an actioncalled HoodsOff on November 5.
The Ku Klux Klan is
classified as a hate group by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern
Poverty Law Center and is said to have between 5,000 and 8,000
members. Operation KKK hopes to unmask 1,000 of its prominent members.
“After closely observing so many of
you for so very long, we feel confident that applying transparency to your
organizational cells is the right, just, appropriate and only course of
action,” wrote therepresentatives of hacker collective Anonymous on Tuesday. “We will carry out our
mission in a responsible, effective manner. We appreciate your patience &
support for this initiative.”
In some parts of the Internet attacks are already happening. A self-styled anti-hate group hacker who calls himself Amped Attacks and
has taken down the official website for the Westboro Baptist Church in
addition to a number of KKK websites. Most
damaging, however, is his claim that he hacked into KKK websites and gathered
identifying information for a number of state senators and mayors whose addresses appeared
in KKK databases.
“I am not involved with Anonymous or
any other hacktivist group. I am my own man that acts on my own accord and the
take down of WBC is just something i felt like doing cause frankly i am tired
of them spewing their hate message,” he said.
The list, which can be found on
Pastebin, is unconfirmed although Amped Attacks claims
to have cross-referenced KKK databases with public email addresses for the
public figures in question.
“I worked for nine days to gather
and verify all the information that was gathered before its release. I got the
information from several KKK websites when I [hacked] them and was able to dump
their database. I went through many emails that was signed up with these sites
and a few of the emails that sparked my interest was the ones of the
politicians in question there would be no reason for them to be signed up on
any KKK website unless they supported it or was involved in it.”
