Republican Websites Hacked in Protest of Inaugurations

In solidarity with the billions around the world who are being oppressed under the Bush agenda, The Internet Liberation Front has hacked and defaced six Republican websites who push forward the sick and violent ideology of warfare, capitalism, and profit over people.
NOT MY PRESIDENT, NOT MY WAR! THIS WHOLE SYSTEM IS ROTTEN TO THE CORE!

In solidarity with the billions around the world who are being oppressed under the Bush agenda, The Internet Liberation Front has hacked and defaced six Republican websites who push forward the sick and violent ideology of warfare, capitalism, and profit over people.

The will of the people was not expressed in these elections. Imperialist war, tax cuts for the rich, and ecological destruction are not in the interest of working people or the stability of our global society. The bush administration are rich lying thieves, these inaugurations are a joke, and the whole system is corrupt.

We will not be their slaves and let them get away with murder. Activists and hackers alike are rising up to resist the Bush administration using street protest, sabatage, and hacktivism. You won't hear about it on their televisions cause the revolution is in the streets!

The massive counter-inauguration protests in DC is only the beginning. Expect four more years of resistance to the U.S. war machine. Hacktivists of the world, unite!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
January 18, 2005
To coincide with the massive protests in DC against the inauguration of George W. Bush, the Internet Liberation Front has launched a hacktivist campaign against Republican websites. Six websites were hacked and defaced with a statement against the Bush agenda of war and corporate cronyism.

"The will of the people was not expressed in these elections. Imperialist war, tax cuts for the rich, and ecological destruction are not in the interest of working people or the stability of our global society.", the hackers wrote in a statement posted on the websites belonging to the Arizona Young Republicans, Students4Freedom.com, CollegeConservative.com, Freedominion.ca, RepublicanFirst.com, and Freedominstitute.ca.

The hackers, calling themselves the Internet Liberation Front, has done no damage to the systems and do not believe hacktivism to be a violent tactic. "Using direct action techniques such as website defacements and financial disruption, 'hacktivists' are able to put pressure and accountability on politicians to make progressive and revolutionary changes".

You can see a mirror of the defacement at www.freewebs.com/internetliberationfront/

You can contact us through all of the following emails: ilf-AT-dcemail.com, intlibfront-AT-doneasy.com, and ilf-AT-bolt.com

What is the Internet Liberation Front(ILF)?
The ILF is a decentralized tactic used by politically motivated hackers to commit acts of electronic civil disobedience against corrupt corporations and governments. Using direct action techniques such as website defacements and financial disruption, 'hacktivists' are able to put pressure and accountability on politicians to make bring progressive and revolutionary changes.

We are not a specific group of people. We are a generation of hackers who feel indignation and want to build a world free from parasitic bosses and rulers. All who want to join the resistance movement are free to use the name ILF. We are everywhere!

Re: Republican Websites Hacked in Protest of Inaugurations

That really sucks. There is no justification for what the Republican party and this administration are doing. However, republicans have just as much right to put propaganda on the internet as we do. By attacking their right to free speech we give them justification for their attacks of our right to free speech and further fuel the propaganda machine which portrays protesters as violent reactionaries. It also seems a bit self righteous to put photos of Black Block on the site instead of photos of those who are being more directly affected throughout the world.

Re: Republican Websites Hacked in Protest of Inaugurations

So what you paranoid, meglomaniac, self-absorbed, delusional Kooks are basically admitting is that you can not legitimately compete for the hearts and minds of the people in the arena of ideas, so as self-appointed guardians of what in your sick, twisted view is in everyone's best interest, you see fit to forcebly silence voices that oppose you. And you geniuses just can't understand why the bulk of the people outright reject you and everything you stand for. Get a life.
 

Re: Republican Websites Hacked in Protest of Inaugurations

I really like the idea of hacking and defacing websites as a form of nonviolent civil disobedience.
