Anonymous Declares War Against Hong Kong Police - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFO0hN9Ptdc)
Published on Oct 1, 2014Anonymous has made good on their promise to begin targeting Hong Kong websites, bringing the homepages of the Occupy Central civil disobedience movement, the Silent Majority for Hong Kong, and the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) offline today.
The "hacktivist" group Anonymous sent this video to News2share early Wednesday morning, apparently declaring a cyber-war against Hong Kong for the treatment of protestors there.
The group has already defaced several Hong Kong-based websites, and promised that dozens more would be affected over the next few days.
To see a list of the sites, screenshots of the defaced sites, a transcript of this video and updates go to http://news2share.com/start/2014/10/0...
*** If you are a member of the media and would like quotes or information from the producer who has been in contact with Anonymous, email fordfischer@news2share.com
*** If you have footage of the protests happening in Hong Kong send us a message and we will post it
*** This added tension comes amidst massive protests in Hong Kong, where citizens has amassed in the thousands to fight for democracy. While Anonymous's actions are pro-democracy, they may renew fears of cyberwar between the United States and China.
This is the second video they've sent to News2share.com, following a video released nearly two weeks ago explaining their plan to wage cyber-war against ISIS.
News2share received this video as a contribution, and in no way should be construed as endorsing or affiliating with Anonymous.

The idiots. They have taken offline 3 pro-democracy websites?
THAT IS NOT GOING TO HELP PROMOTE DEMOCRACY
Anonymous, the Ebola of civil society. No. More of a STD. You participate in it once and think it's fun like sex, but you only end up ashamed with a an embaressing disease. :P

I see that "Autism Partnership" was one of the targets, are they part of the Hong Kong police?

Democracy Isn't the future anyway....
This seems illogical. China is, by their own example, the last nation on Earth to be swayed by or give a damn about what any activist group thinks, wants or says. Remember Tienanmen Square? No one who watched it live, TV or otherwise, will ever forget it. China doesn't 'give'. China ends the problem, while figuring there are over a billion more good citizens where the last batch came from. Hopefully the Hong Kong people don't push far enough to become a legitimate problem for the Central Committee.
Sometimes I guess its important to recall, Anonymous is anyone who picks up the banner that day and says so. Hell.....Anonymous in this case may just as easily BE the Chinese security services. Look at the targets. That would be about par for their course and approach to things.
