Bypass the attack on Wikileaks

21/02/2008 – 10:25

Wikileaks.org is under attack, with the DNS entries being removed. You can still access the site from a number of alternate domains (such as http://www.wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks) or by changing to non-US controlled DNS servers (OpenDNS etc).

Project Chanology – The War on Scientology

05/02/2008 – 13:08

Scientology is a dangerous cult, and Project Chanology is Anonymous’s attempt to destroy it. Well, it looks like maybe Tom Cruise is doing that for them, but anyway… If you are in any doubt, google “Lisa McPherson“.
