14 DAY TRIAL // Anonymous has had enough with the Westboro Baptist Church and their desperate and too obvious attempts at getting media attention by claiming they were threatened with hacking. An attack on a WBC website was conducted while an Anonymous rep was doing a live interview with Shirley Phelps-Roper.
It all went down during an interview on the David Pakman Show, as the video below will confirm. The discussion was meant to settle once and for all the question of whether Anonymous threatened to attack the WBC earlier this week.
Since the harsh exchange of words then, several websites listed to Shirley and the WBC have been shut down, but the Anon rep insists it wasn’t the group who did it.
All credit goes to the hacker known as Jester, he says, but, as you will see in the video below, Phelps-Roper will hear none of it.
Halfway in the interview, she tells Anonymous that there is literally nothing that he or the group can do to shut down the WBC or prevent its message from getting out there, especially on the Internet.
Without losing his cool, the Anonymous rep says he’s “working on something right now,” while also trying to make Phelps shut up for just one second so that he can say what came to the interview to say.
By the time the interview ends, listeners learn that this particular Anonymous has about 9,000 sins and that he keeps very good track of them (Phelps tells him he’s going to Hell in response) – and that he and his mates can take down the WBC if they want to.
Pakman confirms that one of the websites of the Church have been defaced to include a message from Anonymous, in which the fanatics are warned they shouldn’t court media attention using the Anonymous name because worse things will happen to them.
“Greetings Westboro Baptist Church, if you’re reading this, it means that Anonymous has lost its patience with you, likely because you’ve threatened us again after we denied you a war,” read the note on the defaced website, which is still down.
“Despite having had the capability to hack your sites previously, we chose not to and instead responded maturely to your threats, but you have not respected this,” Anonymous further says.
“For this unremitting display of overzealousness, we award you no points. Take this defacement as a simple warning: go away. The world (including Anonymous) disagrees with your hateful messages, but you have the right to voice them. This does not mean you can jump onto Anonymous for attention,” the note also says.
