"Anonymous" to Shutdown Iowa Caucuses - Occupy Campaign Offices

Hacktivists from Anonymous jump into the 2012 Campaign with Occupy Iowa Caucuses in Des Moines, Iowa on December 27th, and and January 3rd.

A new video posted to the Web over the weekend reveals plans from the hacking collective Anonymous to target the 2012 U.S. presidential election, and it seems their first attack will be during next year’s Iowa Caucus.

In the YouTube clip uploaded in recent days, a digitized voice calls for other hacktivists aligned with Anonymous to wage an Occupy-style protest at the presidential candidates’ campaign offices in Des Moines, Iowa next month, and then help shut down the state’s caucuses slated to begin on January 3. Though Anonymous has often waged computer attacks and other demonstrations for political purposes, this would mark the first time the hacktivists have attempted to take down a presidential election in America.

The reason for the protests, says the Anonymous spokesperson in the video, is that the Democratic and Republican parties are not worthy of representing the voices of the Americans whom they have disenfranchised.

Since neither Anonymous nor the Occupy Movement has any formal leadership, it is impossible to formally link the operations to one another, although the sit-in style demonstration planned in Des Moines would be on-par with the protests that started two months ago in Lower Manhattan and spread across the world. Since Occupy Wall Street began, protesters that are aligned to the movement have taken on a series of additional causes, while continuing to complain against corporate personhood and the buying out of American politics.

Officer Randy Peterson serves the police department of Urbandale, Iowa, where Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain and Rick Santorum also have campaign headquarters. To the Des Moines Register, Peterson admits that the PD is aware of the video and says, “We’ll just try to address any issues as they arise.”

John Benson, a public information officer for Iowa’s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division, adds that “it certainly has our attention.”

Anonymous-led attacks in the past have targeted law enforcement agencies, major corporations and government entities. In the last month alone, however, the group has waged a series of attacks online, going after users of child pornography websites, the notorious Zetas drug cartel in Mexico and Fox News.

The Democratic Party has failed us...

The Republican Party has failed us...

Both parties are desecrating the American democracy and committing crimes against humanity on behalf of American people. Both parties are funded by the same mega corporations, the same corporations that fund political campaigns, the same corporations that buy lobbyist, the same corporations that operate the united states government.

The Primaries and Caucasus put on by these parties are part of an elaborate scam the deceives the public into voting for candidates that serve the private interests of the mega corporations. These parties have deliberately driven tens of millions of people into poverty. Voting for these parties is unethical, they have destroyed the American democracy.

We are calling upon you to occupy the campaign offices of presidential headquarters in Des Moines Iowa on December 27th, and peacefully shut down the first in the nation Iowa Caucuses on January 3rd.

Operation Empire State Rebellion continues...

We are Anonymous...

We are legion...

We do not forgive...

We do not forget...

Expect us.
