Anonymous Activists Shut Down Monsanto Website [Video]

Under the guise of “increased crop yields” and “a sustainable food system,” biotech giant Monsanto has been pumping dangerous genetically modified crops into the global agricultural industry for decades.

Many consumers feel that unless they scrutinize the supply chain and growing practices of every farmer or manufacturer, they can’t be sure whether or not they’re eating GMOs. Politicians and leaders in the organic food industry have already shown that they’re not willing or able to fight Monsanto’s contamination of the global food supply, so now it’s up to the people to fight back.

To show solidarity with farmers, real food organizations and all free-thinking humans, activist group Anonymous recently issued Monsanto a list of demands in the following video:

MSNBC reports that the “Hacking group Anonymous has posted information on 2,500 Monsanto employees and associates.” In addition, the hacking collective bombarded the company’s international websites and succeeded in shutting them down for nearly three days.

Anonymous then published this video, showing just how easily they accomplished this sabotage:

Anonymous posted a statement shortly after, detailing their assault:

“Over the last 2 months we have pushed the exposure of hundreds of pages of articles detailing Monsanto’s corrupt, unethical, and downright evil business practices. We blasted their Web infrastructure to **** for two days straight, crippling all three of their mail servers as well as taking down their main Web sites worldwide. We dropped dox [released information] on 2,500+ employees and associates, including full names, addresses, phone numbers, and exactly where they work. We are also in the process of setting up a wiki, to try and get all collected information in a more centralized and stable environment.”

The group now says it will turn its attention to the expansion of the Canadian tar sands project in Alberta.

WhiteHouse.gov has added a petition feature called "We the People". Beware, it may not be a tool for addressing government grievances as much as a method to see who can organize on the internet and who cannot. Read the disclaimer...it states nothing will be done about judicial issues, yet clearly has more judicial petitions than any other subject.

The President and most of the legislature are lawyers, members of the bar first and they are NOT A CHECK on the judicial branch. Fraud in court is rampent...but will clearly not be curtailed.

I made a petition but do not have a well developed social network. If you want to help me petition our POTUS, please sign the petition requesting the POTUS to stop (check) fraud in court at http://wh.gov/gys.
