Another possibility is that your opinion is wrong.
If these "hackers" taking down social media sites and NYT times were actually the Syrian government
The thing is, nobody thinks the SEA is part of the Syrian government, any more than the Irish Republican Army was part of the Irish government. It's just a name the group have adopted to show their affiliation and make themselves feel badass.
Its like saying what ever the presidents frat was, is part of the government.
Another possibility is that your opinion is wrong.
And yet another possibility is that your opinion is wrong!
I like this "adding nothing to the discussion" game!
Yes, because the bombing of the regime means that every single person supporting the Syrians is automatically going to focus all their efforts on one single task. It is not like there can be people with different perspectives on how to solve a "problem" with the same common goal. /s
If you think people can't make the difference between the SEA and people who browse reddit and privacy activists, then you're setting the bar pretty low for the intelligence of the population. Especially considering people are getting more and more informed
Your need for a conspiracy seems pretty great
You can't know for sure it is a false flag operation, but you can't easily rule it out either.
But on the other hand, we at least had proof of the false flag attack by Germany. In this case we have, to this point, faith and educated guesses, but it's faith nonetheless.
Yes. A declining media/entertainment company and an advertising firm?
>In the US, at least, you don't get a much higher profile non-government target than the NY Times.
Google, Academi/Blackwater, any number of our oil companies?
Is this not obvious to everyone else as it is to me? People, think about what is happening here and the timing of it all.
This is a false flag operation to turn the public opinion against "hackers" so these crazy internet regulations bills can start passing and so that they can get away with spying scandal.
If these "hackers" taking down social media sites and NYT times were actually the Syrian government, they'd be going after US government targets in an effort to undermine the bombing that's about to begin.
Their regime is about to get bombed. Taking down twitter is low on their priority list. But it's quite good timing for a propaganda campaign against "hackers" and now allows the US government to label hackers as terrorists. Scary stuff.
