"Everyone brace," he tweeted. "This will be literally explosive."

[Snoutport]

Anonymous is about to dump two batches of emails aimed at The British Police and judiciary over the phone hacking scandal.

Ladies and Gentleman...we may see the complete destruction of Newscorp within the next couple of months.

Seriously, the mouthpiece of the right wing is very close to being silenced....and if not silenced, then so badly damaged and mangled it might have to sell off FOX, The Wall Street Journal and more of its US holdings.

I sure the hell hope so!

9. My hope is we get some information about US hacking...

[BonnieJW]

132. Didn't I hear that

9/11 families' phones were hacked? My question is, is it illegal to hack into phones in this country? The government's been doing it for years.

[indepat]

14. Sweet Jesus, that would so beautiful

;) :patriot:

[roguevalley]

112. i am filled with a feeling like something big is changing in this

world. The Arab Spring - GOD BLESS YOU, MIDDLE EAST! HAVE COURAGE! - the Wisconsin uprising and other states following, this whole mess and the COURAGE and BRAVERY of groups like Anonymous. All of it is building. We have the world we have decided to have and now its being reimagined. We can change it if we will it into being and act when we can.

I am over the moon at the greatness of some people's courage.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

138. beware

A cornered animal gets desperate and strikes out without limitations. Those assholes in power now feel threatened. So, be aware, beware, and be prepared for the worst.

[peacetalksforall]

139. Beautifully stated. Thanks.

[Amaril]

2. I'm ready!!

:popcorn:

[BlueCaliDem]

114. The world would be better off without that mega propaganda channel

outlet.

Hoping, praying, crossing fingers, and sitting on the edge of my seat.

All empires fall eventually. It's time this corrupt mega propaganda empire is taken down for good!

[AsahinaKimi]

152. To see Fox News go under

would be fantastic. I would love to see them implode!

[femrap]

3. Let it be so. Let it be so. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

68. I prefer "so let it be written....

so let it be done" :)

[timtom]

74. Or...

"So it is written, so it shall come to pass."

[awoke_in_2003]

78. Yeah, but...

Yul Brynner didn't say that :)

89. I know.

I've been intentionally misquoting that since the fifties.

[awoke_in_2003]

91. I have been unintentionally...

misquoting the "We don't need no stinkin' badges" since the 80's :)

[femrap]

88. I'm with you....

that's much better!

[juajen]

108. So mote it be.

[WinkyDink]

4. Here's the real newsflash to come: ALL POWER, from Downing St to Fleet St, is involved. MAJOR crimes

[Snoutport]

5. Sir, I believe you are terribly cynical

Or, it could be Ma'am, I believe you are terribly cynical...and I also think you are 100% correct! :0)

But I also think that there will be quite a few people arrested over this.
I think the tighty righties have been in collusion with Murdoch to destroy the left-leaning members of society and government.
I think the police are going to see a LOT of retirements.

And then...I think we'll start finding out about blackmail and there will be a whole lot more people retiring before their personal info that was hacked, gets spilled.

Yeah, their is a chance that the political and media landscapes of England are about to be drastically altered.

And it is a good thing.

[WinkyDink]

8. Ma'am. :-) AND cynical enough to expect that no Top Dogs will be arrested.

I.e., no Cameron or Blair.

[Snoutport]

12. Pardon Ma'am :0) I do think Cameron is gonna lose his job though.

[malaise]

27. I think the Coalition will fall apart n/t

[Snoutport]

41. Oh yeah....I agree there. THOUGH...Miliband's comm guy just got smeared too

first by murdoch's papers but today there was some blagging references to Miliband's guy. I've read so much I can't remember where I saw that though...

[Prophet 451]

123. Let it be SOON

Given the utter demolition job the ConDems have done on the country (and most especially the wefare state) in just the last year, I'm not sure we can survive another.

[Prophet 451]

124. I can think of other things I'd like to see him lose

The man has already proven to be pure, unadulterated evil.

[russspeakeasy]

97. 5 people who work for wages will go down...and that's about it.

[rhett o rick]

67. Yes, but can you take someone serious named "WinkyDink"? nm

[Snoutport]

75. I always liked anthony weiner....

[WinkyDink]

81. Is this a bad joke or just ignorance of television history? Allow me to educate you:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winky_Dink_and_You

Winky Dink And You was a CBS television children's show that aired from 1953 to 1957, on Saturday mornings at 10:30 a.m./9:30 central. It was hosted by Jack Barry, and featured the exploits of a cartoon character named Winky Dink (voiced by Mae Questel) and his dog Woofer, with sound effects provided by Joseph Scholnick. The show, created by Harry Prichett, Sr. and Ed Wyckoff, featured Barry and his sidekick, the incompetent Mr. Bungle (Dayton Allen), introducing clips of Winky Dink, noted for his plaid pants, tousled hair, and large eyes.

Praised by Microsoft mogul Bill Gates as "the first interactive TV show," the show's central gimmick was the use of a "magic drawing screen", which was a large piece of vinyl plastic which stuck to the television screen via static electricity. A kit containing the screen and various Winky Dink crayons could be purchased for 50 cents. At a climactic scene in every Winky Dink short, Winky would arrive upon a scene which contained a connect the dots picture. He would then prompt the children at home to complete the picture, and the finished result would help him continue the story. Examples include drawing a bridge to cross a river, an axe to chop down a tree, or a cage to trap a dangerous lion.

[rhett o rick]

105. I was just kidding. But I guess the wrong person. Sorry man. nm

[Iwillnevergiveup]

121. I remember that show

and rushed to a neighbor's house to watch it 'cause he had the magic screen and crayons.
Now I'm depressed - I'm OLD!!!

On topic: Good riddance, Ruppert. Go home already and stay out of sight. And take your son with you.

:nuke:

[BonnieJW]

133. Oh, Lord.

I remember that show too. I BEGGED my mom to get me the magic screen and crayons, but nooooooooooo. I'm sure it kept me from being all that I could be.

[Tutankhamun]

135. Oh no! Murdoch has a son?

So when that old sack of dog feces, Rupert dies, the son will just take over! Please please please let this scandal destroy the evil media empire!

[NJCher]

144. an incompetent

I read a prognosis for Rupert's empire a few years ago at someplace like Slate or Salon and it wasn't good. One of the reasons cited is that the kid is...well, your typical second-generation rich.


Cher

[Tutankhamun]

150. Maybe he will destroy the company like 2nd gen rich Bush did

with every company/business venture he undertook (until Poppy bailed him out).

[Joe Bacon]

134. I remember the time my sister hid my Winky Dink screen.

She told me it was OK to mark on the TV Tube without the screen...The look on my Mom's face... :-(

[juajen]

109. That should be whitey tightey righties. Right?

[gateley]

147. +1 And loved the so mote it be, by the way. :-) nt

[roguevalley]

113. Let it topple Cameron and Fox news. That will be awesome. try

and hide, Murdoch. Try and hide

[Marr]

6. "Literally" explosive?

What could that possibly mean? I assume this one of those erroneous uses of the word "literally".

[Snoutport]

13. Uh oh... Marr is gonna bust our chops for grammar!

unless it is tied to the terrorist bombings? Perhaps it is foreshadowing?

[Marr]

21. lol! Never.

I just wonder if that word is being used correctly or not. If it's not, you will never hear from me on the subject again, I swear.

[Snoutport]

24. I was just quoting so I don't take this one personally

I don't mind being corrected though...so you'd be good either way. I LIKE it when people correct me when I make some stupid mistake on a post and I can jump in and edit it. What i HATE is when someone corrects me on a post after it is too late to edit!

[juajen]

71. No, it is not being used correctly. NT

[juajen]

76. I disagree with me.

1. In a literal manner; word for word: translated the Greek passage literally.
2. In a literal or strict sense: Don't take my remarks literally.
3. Usage Problem
a. Really; actually: "There are people in the world who literally do not know how to boil water" (Craig Claiborne).
b. Used as an intensive before a figurative expression.
Usage Note: For more than a hundred years, critics have remarked on the incoherency of using literally in a way that suggests the exact opposite of its primary sense of "in a manner that accords with the literal sense of the words." In 1926, for example, H.W. Fowler cited the example "The 300,000 Unionists ... will be literally thrown to the wolves." The practice does not stem from a change in the meaning of literally itselfif it did, the word would long since have come to mean "virtually" or "figuratively"but from a natural tendency to use the word as a general intensive, as in They had literally no help from the government on the project, where no contrast with the figurative sense of the words is intended.

18. I literally crapped myself when I read that.

19. :0) Thank you for sharing that!

[EOTE]

20. He's one of my favorite comedians.

I remember listening to this bit a few years back and thinking to myself "David Cross hates the exact same things I do!" IMO, he, Louis CK and Chris Rock are the best stand-up performers out there.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

36. But what did you do?

With the shitty pants I mean. :+

[Snoutport]

38. literally.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

40. No matter how many times I listen to that bit I literally sh.... Damn, see?! I almost did it

again there. :+ Oh and BTW thanks for all the Newscorp/hacking threads. They have been very helpful

[EOTE]

52. No, not actually,

I literally shit my pants. I wouldn't actually shit my pants, that would be gauche.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

54. .

:spray: That one never fails.

[Snoutport]

87. do you mean 'guachos"?

You crapped your gauchos?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

35. I think it means that all leaked emails will contain these:

:nuke: :P

[Snoutport]

50. atom bombs and catnip?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

51. I should have put a space between those the second one is my sig line. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

70. sure, you lure the kittehs...

in with the catnip then literally explode the atom bomb :)

[ZombieHorde]

94. I know. The word "literal" is too difficult of a concept for many people. nt

[Tunkamerica]

120. This will be figuratively important.

[nxylas]

128. Yeah, that bugs me too

But given the importance of what Anonymous are doing, I'm willing to forgive them.

[Snoutport]

148. I wish they would go after Teach for America and the attack on education....

[xchrom]

7. recommend

it's going to be interesting to see just how incestuous the right & the murdock empire have been.

[Snoutport]

48. It isn't looking good in London

In June Murdoch threw a command performance summer party and all the leaders were there, as ordered. They are paying the price for that now though....

[Ganja Ninja]

10. Watch how fast Rupert becomes "too ill to stand trial" if or when he's charged with anything. n/t

[Snoutport]

25. Oh, yeah, I don't think he'll live to see jail time

but the company is gonna take some damage.

[salin]

61. agree... question is how much damage.

hopefully enough so its power to shape politics and world views is dealt a fatal blow.

[Snoutport]

111. I am hoping for some media monopoly laws to keep people like murdoch

from getting so much power in the future.

[Frank Cannon]

137. The dude will have a "heart attack" and a closed-casket funeral a la Ken Lay...

if he's even threatened with jail time, which I doubt very seriously that he ever will be.

[hifiguy]

11. Gads I'd love to see that old pirate

headed for Davy Jones' Locker.

[Snoutport]

26. Walking the plank would seem fair to me for the damage he's done...

[Blue Owl]

15. So richly, richly deserved

May the wretched, bloated, maggot-infested pile of excretement that is the Murdoch empire rot in the bowels of hell.

[Snoutport]

29. Wow

I take it you are not a fan of what News Corp has done to the world?

[EOTE]

16. Literally? I hope they take cover, wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.

Grammar issues aside, this is extremely exciting stuff.

[Snoutport]

43. yeah...it is exciting reading the news these days!

[provis99]

17. for all their blather, Anonymous has accomplished squat in the past.

Bunch of braggarts and not much else.

[Vinnie From Indy]

32. Psssssst!

Anonymous is watching you!

Cheers!

[The Doctor.]

73. There is no 'Their' there.

It's not a 'them', it's an 'it'.

Not understanding what it is makes it difficult to understand what it has accomplished.

[Hissyspit]

119. Uncovering the attempts at smearing left-wing pundits by HBGary was damn important.

[Tunkamerica]

122. Either you aren't paying attention or you just don't understand

the momentum this movement's gathered in the last 6 months.

[HipChick]

22. ATTN Intelligence community: Your contractors have failed you. Tomorrow is the beginning.

Can't they just go after Newscorp?..I don't expect too many surprises from the British Police

[Snoutport]

44. bribes to the police are corporate crime when done by a US company...and Newscorp is a US company

and the best part is...the fines they get are portioned out to people who whistleblow that the corporation has committed crimes. All those recently laid off news workers could become whistleblowers and get huge payoffs.

[rhett o rick]

66. I think you are assuming that the USofA has an honest DOJ. We are living in an oligarchy.

They let us have bits and pieces but when push comes to shove, we are toast.

The Revolution is Waiting.

[Enthusiast]

127. Both nations are the victim

of international fascism. Long standing democratic institutions of justice have been undermined.

If this isn't the case someone please explain Holder.

[Imajika]

23. Your setting yourself up for a huge disappointment...

Fox News, the WSJ, etc are not going anywhere. They will continue being as right wing as ever. Even if News Corp has to pay huge fines, they will do just that and roll right along.

[butterfly77]

28. Kicked&Recommended!

[Shagbark Hickory]

30. Yeah sure.

I'll believe it when I see it.

33. Fox News defenders will not like this one

[Maru Kitteh]

37. I have to wonder if FOX is covering this at all? How they are spinning it? If they'll dare to cover

their own demise. How delicious. How very, very delicious.

[Snoutport]

45. I don't know. Anyone know? Has FOX mentioned anything?

[mwooldri]

57. from what I hear around DU, not much said on Fox News Entertainment.

FNE has enough domestic and non UK stories to cover for right now. If something big happens politically or a big name gets arrested then it may get covered by FNE and only because CNN, MSNBC et al will be giving it saturation coverage.

[Dappleganger]

34. Thanks for the warning, seems I need a new pair of gravedancing shoes.

39. Popcorn anyone?

[Snoutport]

56. Better make it an extra large...this is gonna last a while.

[rainbow4321]

42. Following The Telegraph's live blog..

Newest is that there are other News International papers that got information about Gordon Brown's son when he was first born..medical records about the baby possibly having cystic fibrosis, and they printed the info before the family announced it. Reports are that the former PM was also a hacking target. And: Royal Protection officers were paid money by a NI paper to hand over private info about the Royal Family, something called the "Green Book" that had their personal info in it. Stolen by a Protection officer for money.

I believe the blog also said that someome from a NI paper called Brown's bank (impersonating someone, I assume) and got his bank info.



Looks like NOTW may not have been the only NI paper up to no good.

[Snoutport]

47. link: Murdoch's Sunday Times and Sun caught--they published illegally hacked information

[JuniperLea]

49. This is what I've been waiting for...

It should be fairly easy to find the hacked info in other Murdoch papers... I wouldn't doubt they found their way into all of them.

[glinda]

46. Our only local am tv station is Faux. They had staff doing the show outside next to a

food truck. hehe.
Maybe they already lost their studio. lol!
Doubt it but would be great.

[Greybnk48]

53. Once again Snoutport, your post has brightened my day!

Damn! Wouldn't that be awesome if we were alive to see his Evil Empire crumble!!

[Snoutport]

63. well...we might at least see the end of his influence.

[Quantess]

55. "literally explosive"? Sounds like a bomb threat.

pet peeve of mine.

[Maru Kitteh]

58. Explosive

Definition of EXPLOSIVE
1
a : relating to, characterized by, or operated by explosion <an explosive hatch> b : resulting from or as if from an explosion <explosive population growth>
2
a : tending to explode <an explosive person> b : likely to erupt in or produce hostile reaction or violence <an explosive ghetto situation>
— ex·plo·sive·ly adverb
— ex·plo·sive·ness noun


It seems apt, to me. :shrug:

[Quantess]

69. In any case, I predict

Rupert Murdoch will literally shit his pants.

[Maru Kitteh]

115. Pants Explosion! CODE BROWN. Alert!

When it's all laying in a smoking pile of rubble, I hope they make a really, really GOOD movie about it. I'll buy 5 copies for my mother.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

116. That...

...Depends :nuke:

59. I saw that tweet last night (3 am?), snoutport, and could make head nor tails

of it. Thanks for finding this.

92. If I could sneak in and check this story at 3 a.m. I sure the heck would!

[Ohio Joe]

60. wait wait wait....

Instead of going after murdoch they are going to embarrass the people going after them? WTF? Why does this seem like a bad plan to me... Why are they not going after murdoch? I hope they don't fuck the whole case up.

80. First Rupert loss 500 million on Myspace and now

he may have to fake his own death to avoid going to jail? What a year.

[roamer65]

82. Go Anonymous...Go!!!

[NewJeffCT]

83. It would be great

but, I'm still not going to hold my breath on it.

[pacalo]

84. I hope Anonymous is serious & that it has already downloaded & saved the data

before warning its targets.

Anonymous & WikiLeaks are the equilizer for the powerless people who are the true victims of Murdoch.

[FlyByNight]

86. That would be wonderful

Murdoch/Newscorp is a cancer.

Thanks, Anonymous!

[Lucky Luciano]

90. Cool. It was a pleasure to watch News Corp stock shit the bed today.

[kestrel91316]

93. How soon before we find out that Fox News has been up to the same sort of

highly illegal highjinks?

[EC]

95. I wonder how it will hit the right wing in every country

he publishes...there is going to have to be some connections somewhere.

[RoccoRyg]

96. Oh please oh please oh please

I hope you're right.

[spanone]

98. we may see the complete destruction of Newscorp within the next couple of months

101. Many Thanks...Not getting hopes up since Murdoch defies all laws...but, still thinking maybe

this one will stick..and hopefully broaden to something here in the US.

Thanks for all your posts on this. It's been helpful in trying to keep up with it all.

[certainot]

106. great news, hope so, but a correction: talk radio is the real mouthpiece- where it starts

and without which Fox 'News' would be a joke.

[MrMickeysMom]

107. Oh, very, very recommended, indeed...

:popcorn:

[brewens]

110. if Murdoch goes down does FOX "News" fold? Maybe the Koch

Bros. step in and bail out FOX and The Wall St. Journal to keep them going. I think seeing FOX just go away is dreaming.

[GETPLANING]

117. Newscorp Stock is getting hammered

The market selloff combined with the hacking scandal is driving the stock price over a cliff. I hope Sean Hannity has his entire portfolio in it.

[Aerows]

146. You and me both

I also hope every one of those idiots on Fox and Friends does, too.

[FreeState]

118. K&R

[SkyDaddy7]

125. Yeah right...I will believe it when i see it...

And why can't this "anonymous" crowd continue picking on the big bad guys instead of acting like punk kids releasing individual's emails & PayPal info.

Not that i would not be beside myself with joy if such info just adds to the current investigation let alone seriously hurt News Corp. I WOULD! However, my guess is the fix is already in on this hacking gate & Murdoch & Co. see little to no long term damage...As is the always the case when corporations break the law! Sorry for the cynicism but I need results!

[Enthusiast]

126. Poor Newscorp...

NOT!

[geckosfeet]

129. If there are silenced for only a short timem (and it will be) it will be sweet.

[rucky]

130. literally?

better duck & cover

[ChoppinBroccoli]

140. I Hate It When People Misuse The Word "Literally"

I once saw a movie review where the reviewer stated (and this is a direct quote), "Denzel Washington LITERALLY sets the screen on fire."

Unless this guy means that the release of this information will blow something up, then he's just another in a long line of people who don't know the meaning of the word "literally."

[Vinca]

131. Might have to sell off Fox? Wouldn't that be sweet.

I wonder if Al Gore is in the market for another channel. LOL.

[bullwinkle428]

136. K&R, but PLEASE - if the prick is forced to sell off Fox News, there

will always be despicable slime like the Koch Brothers, willing to buy it for any price.

[WheelWalker]

141. Oh, the rapture !!

[peacetalksforall]

142. I am surprised that no one mentions Murdoch's membership in the Bilderberg Group -ela

owners of the big papers and networks are members. Does anyone really believe that it is a social club like the Buena Vista Social Club without the music?

He has been doing his part to attain one world control along with the others - Blair, the WP Grahams, etc.

He, with immunity from spying (in the US), is now being spied on for all to see? But, we treat him as if he is operating for himself?

If Congress gave immunity to the spies, will they really do anything good for the citizens in this case? We already know that they think Anonymous is traitorous.

I want to be pumped up with hope for this world as expressed in this thread, but we can't ignore the power of the BG plan and watching how every event shows their progress.

This is probably only going to be one of their many set-backs - they just regroup and possibly wait awhile, then proceed.

If they want to control and own the earth resources at costs that are shoved back on us = it it the same for our heads as it is for oil or water or gold, coal, or steel or secrets. We've seen the success they have had with the heads they've turned and the Party of Tea they started. FOX and all the other Republican networks and the slowly delivered revelations coming to us from our Dem leaders about where they really stand - it's all connected. The BG group is not a once a year get together for chats - it is a conglomeration of tens to hundreds of organizations that are at work all year round including behavior control. I believe we are already living under their new view of policing at the club and badge level. It's everywhere.

Murdoch is right in there. I don't know why DUers talk about him as if he was his own entity.

Obama didn't get in without their blessing?
