Heads Up Hillary Supporters! You’re On a Watch List

I miss the days when you actually had to get off your ass and leave the house to protest or support a certain candidate.

This tweet is the perfect, in-your-face, celebratory response to the Hillary Watch List stalker that I wrote about yesterday. It’s powerful and constructive and heavy on message.

But the guy is still out there, and it is doubtful he is alone.

As of this writing, I know that concerted actions involving the cyber stalker are in the works. I’m also aware that the stalker/spy has doubled-down on his spite toward those he’s tracking. There’s new rhetoric posted on his site. The email address is now a fake link. And according to reports, the private information is masked.

Perhaps infamy has gone to her head. Like most asocial malcontents, the massive attention generated an adrenalin rush, the salivating need to do it again – even worse than before.

So a note of caution is warranted. I strongly discourage anyone from traipsing through the website and clicking on any links. I’d also warn against engaging in discussion (even though I’ve done this myself). All of these activities might open a route to your own personal information and give access for evil deeds. I speak from experience. Just a few months ago, my laptop was hacked into blue screen oblivion. I’m firmly convinced it was the work of one of the Bernie Bros. It happened even though I considered my machine well-protected from online assault. Let me tell you – it was not fun and I’ve not yet recuperated.

Lastly, it occurs to me that this has to be the dumbest cyber spy around or the most arrogant or it’s a hoax of sorts – a message from the opposition.

Those who are inflamed with the Snowden or Wikileaks revelations are of a different generation. They are younger, most have never been in combat, seen family and friends come home physically wounded and emotionally maimed. They did not witness the assasination of the President, the slow unwinding of another, the impeachment of a third. They did not watch helplessly as the single voice calling for an end to pollution and warning of climate change lose his Presidential bid because of a flap called “hanging chads.”

They have not fought for basic – basic fucking rights – to sit at a counter with white folks or hunt for a job without having to search through the “Women’s” list. This generation never knew that domestic violence was a family secret, an OK thing, a wasted call to the police. Many have probably never read Marx or studied the long history of revolution; never worked outside electoral politics; never marched on their state capital or Washington DC; never demonstrated at a nuclear power facility or walk the length of a state for peace.
