Mark BretlHey, I didn’t like this comment.
—————————— The comment: Lorraine Murphy (8 November 2013): I’ve had three DDoS threats in the last three weeks and for what from the attackers’ perspectives seem like good reasons. And do I whine here? No. Why? Because doing so NEVER GETS YOU A SOLUTION. This is not a problem and answer forum. It just isn’t.

#OpFrackOff takes on racist cop, #OpSWN takes on energy conglomerate
Frack off First Nations land!
When the RCMP confronted the First Nations fracking protesters at Elsipogtog late last week and things turned violent, Anonymous got involved almost immediately, announcing #OpFrackOff. Now they’ve gone farther, a lot farther.
When an unidentified RCMP officer shouted, “crown land belongs to the government not to fucking natives,” he probably didn’t expect Anonymous to issue a call to action inviting the public to help ID him. He probably should have.
In a pair of documents released on Pastebin today and a video, Anonymous and their allies have announced they intend to carry their investigation much further. In the newly-announced #OpSWN they intend nothing less than laying out all the corporate, political, and social connections for SWN (Southwestern Energy), the American gas company at the heart of the conflict.
“Why is Canada attacking it’s First Nations population with a self-described paramilitary force? To protect the right of a Texas oil company’s fracking ambitions? And what do Wendy’s french fries have to do with fracking? “
They then answered that question at length and in detail, using the online mapping tool Pearltrees to lay out the links between Cavendish Farms, Wendy’s, and SWN. And the New Brunswick political establishment. And the Irving family, a local corporate and media power clan whose influence extends internationally. And then called on Anonymous and supporters to fill in missing connections as well.
The point of all of this, according to one of the investigators we spoke with via Twitter, is to enable people to protest the RCMP response at Elsipogtog by demonstrating at their local Wendy’s, instead of trucking all the way to the Texas headquarters of SWN. The goal is to show that the events taking place on unceded Mi’kmaq territory are connected in a very real dollars and cents way to consumer choices that everyone makes in their day to day lives, and to show that other choices are possible.
Since SWN and the RCMP are hitting the Mi’kmaq where they live, Anonymous has decided to hit them where they live: right in the bank account.

A Poem for Rex Murphy
Because Rex Murphy has long since become nothing more than the slavering ,flapping courtier gums that he once opposed.
Oh Canada,
so generous with our genocide,
why won’t you say thank-you say thank-you
for fracking up the future
for pipelines
like the one spewing filth from Murphy’s throat,
pipelines not trap lines
Oooops, where did those children go?
Sorry about all those lost children
they must have
run away
wild savage runaways
while we were busy
being so generous with our genocide.
Whose fault is it
that you never made anything
from all those small pox handouts
you’re so lucky
the federal government takes care of you
children of the land, just like
they take care of
wild salmon stock and streams and
don’t look toward northern Alberta,
don’t look toward northern Alberta,
that’s just another side effect
of being so generous
so generous with our genocide.
How can you be so unappreciative
when you didn’t even pay
for the death schools
for the death scoops
for the death…

You know, I’m sure it looked good on paper.
Also, what is it with me and the car/bike posts lately? This is not a car/bike blog. I haven’t had a driver’s license since shortly after the Great North American Road Trip from Vancouver to San Francisco, and that was in, like, ’93. We will return to our regularly-scheduled tentacle blogging and Assange perving shortly.
Someone’s going to be MADD at these guys
Now, is that a social media fail, or a marketing fail, or a just plain tragic any-way-you-look-at-it fail? Whatever it is, you just stay classy, Zimbabwe, you stay classy!
