Noose Closes Around Pro-Wikileaks Vigilantes - Feds Shutting Down Online Discussion!

[Joe234]

Operation Payback is facing a little payback of its own. First Twitter closed the pro-Wikileaks hacker movement's account. And now we hear the Feds are shutting down some online discussion of Operation Payback attacks. Some sites have received federal court orders to cease any further online documentation of the attacks, which targeted Visa, Mastercard and other financial companies who froze Wikileaks accounts, a source close to the situation tells us. Among the sites where content is coming down is Encyclopedia Dramatica, which we're told received one of the orders. The 4chan-affiliated reference wiki within the past hour had the number three Google hit for a search on "Operation Payback." It has since deleted its article, though the entry remains accessible via Google cache (NSFW). Here's what it looks like now (click to enlarge):

It's happening people. We are becoming iran. They are scrubbing the internet, freezing accounts and pulling out all the stops. This is insane.

The internet in America will be dead, albeit thru incrementalised cutting, so you won't notice. But it will die and along with it will die any bastion of freedom we think we have left......

This is all going to make for a killer movie someday.

About the government patriots squashing the electronic terrorist uprising? I think I'll skip that one.

I'm seeing more mainstream people on the News channels saying
that blaming Assange is a farce. They gave us some history tonight.
Apparently Daniel Ellsberg, who released the Pentagon Papers, was
also called a traitor,etc. He was alsobaccused of having sex with his kids.
Some familiar?
