The White Hats have been gone so long that I'm suspicious of this. I can't help but wonder if this is another false flag to divide us.

Anonymous has been missed. Hope it's not a trick.

I'm suspicious because of the Anonymous release this morning of old Jeff Epstein documents under the claim they are new. That isn't Anonymous' style.

By early Sunday, the sites were still experiencing access problems, sporadically requiring visitors to enter “captchas” verifying they weren’t bots in a front-end hosted by internet security firm Cloudflare — a signal the sites were experiencing a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, designed to render an internet service unusable by flooding it with bogus traffic.

We the people want order.

W want justice with it.

Career criminals like Trump are not prosecuted.

Epstein raped 100 girls before anything happened, and his friends crime were sealed.

The criminal ruling class.

Prison is for the poor.

I'd wager most if not all PD's have their website on servers located on entirely different networks (or the cloud) ... for example godaddy may host their website out of California but their actual records are on servers at a much more secure facility, physically nearby.

Just sayin'.

How do we know Anonymous is independent ? Perhaps they are affiliated with unfriendly nations.

Anonymous goals may or may not be the same as yours or mine in the long run.

Be careful of the memes we spread. Take care of your neighborhood, family, friends.. the fact is, its everything. Grass, birds, bees, elderly, the disenfranchised.

They said the rioters themselves seemed coordinated. This attack at the same time seems like more coordination.

Note: I'm differentiating between protestors and rioters.

Copying the same tactics. I think this because of all the out of state white agitators and arsonists involved in the riots. Sounds like it could be a way to give them more cover and help them get away with it, especially if it disrupted the cops ability to do their jobs against these white provocateurs.
