Velvet Revolution, the progressive group behind the targeted StopTheChamber.com, said the Anonymous Network that supports WikiLeaks played a key role in unearthing the chamber plot:
In a plot straight out of Hollywood, this was exposed after Hunton and Williams hired the three firms to go after the Anonymous Network that had been supporting Wikileaks. The CEO of one of the firms, HBGary bragged in a February 5 article that he was going to take down Anonymous. Anonymous responded by shutting down HBGary's web presence and extracting more than 40,000 emails from CEO Aaron Barr's servers. Those emails disclosed not only the planned attack on Anonymous, but also the planned attack on us, which involved planting false documents, spreading disinformation, spying on our operations, cyberstalking, defamation painting us as a terrorist organization and/or a front group for the Unions.
Velvet Revolution makes it clear that it intends to take the matter seriously:
We have responded by notifying the FBI, spreading the word throughout the blogs, and talking with our lawyers about legal action. We have been posting articles about this on our StopTheChamber site, and will will be issuing a press release (Monday) calling for Congressional and Department of Justice investigations into these outrageous and unconstitutional activities.
That's the kind of aggressive approach progressive groups need to take against corporate thugs. We know because we've been dealing with such thugs for a long time here in Alabama.
