Launching “Operation Last Resort,” Anonymous twice hacked the Justice Department’s Sentencing Commission this weekend to protest the death of Aaron Swartz and a legal system “wielded less and less to uphold justice, and more and more to exercise control (and) power.” The group threatened to release Justice Department data if the government fails to reform flawed cyber crime laws that allow almost unfettered prosecutorial power, and then turned the website into a videogame and Guy Fawkes mask proclaiming, “We do not forgive. We do not forget.”
“Anonymous has observed for some time now the trajectory of justice in the United States with growing concern. We have marked the departure of this system from the noble ideals in which it was born and enshrined. We have seen the erosion of due process, the dilution of constitutional rights, the usurpation of the rightful authority of courts by the discretion of prosecutors. We have seen how the law is wielded less and less to uphold justice, and more and more to exercise control, authority and power in the interests of oppression or personal gain.”

When we see banksters going to jail then and only then will the DOJ be worthy of its name. Until then, they are guilty of hypocrisy of the highest degree and well deserve any loss of data that the hacking will bring. I was listening to an interview on NPR the other day and a caller asked why were there no Wall St. bankers in jail. Not surprisingly, the question was never answered.
Most of us peons have been asking that billion dollar question since 2008 … not only do I have no respect for the DOJ, but since Obama is intimately connected to what they are FAILING to do I no longer have any respect for him either! I do however, have a great deal of respect for Anonymous, and seriously believe their next project should involve the Wall St banks and the peons they stole from … as in ‘appropriating’ ALL the money on Wall St and paying off the mortgages of the peons they have foreclosed on
