FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Reaching Out To The Middle, Again
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".
