Hey guys, it's cidarda, sue, nicholasmchugh or whatever ID I was using last I spoke to you all, I separate out IDs by topic for my own sanity. I'm still lurking and advocating OPMetalGear. Glad to see the breakaway from Anonymous, (not that I'm hating or sticking my dick in that beehive, lol). I have absolutely no clue if it is helping but I've been trying to explain OPMetalGear to fellow activists who've heard of dirty tricks being used against activists, one of my knee-jerk reactions (and I imagine other orgs are doing the same considering their silence) is to acknowledge it in private and try to improve OPSEC by not being baited but not speaking about it publicly under the banner of individual organizations. This article I've linked to gave me an idea of how to tie diverse efforts together, namely trying to bring in some of the ant-fox news and anti-beck crowd, everything the anti-fox news crowd screams about reeks of SOCIAL ENGINEERING tactics. Now I'm not saying there is some big super organized cabal of fox-news and other corp interests but I do think the US Chamber of Commerce is playing a big part but I would imagine that isn't a new idea to either of you. Now I've purposefully not contributing to the doxxing effort but I think a good research target is any groups and organizations that have been accused or even convicted of "dirty political tricks" or rat-fucking, I would be willing to bet money there is a connection, also people that run phone banks, does polling, conducts surveys...etc Would be very helpful to get a 'Beltway Insider' for some of this stuff.
