"History-Hacktivists-Hubbub"

 Respectful Dedication Rev Martin Luther King - Fred Shuttlesworth

It is a singular honour to dedicate this very sophisticated post to these two very great humans. Suffice to say that they both helped build 'A New America And Struggled for a Better World"! An all powerful creation and happening is going to shape the future of the world. The like of this, the world may never have felt or known.

Hours after his London arrest last year, the admirers and supporters of Julian Assange and his great service to the world of truth, "Wikileaks", began seeking WikiRevenge!!? Calling themselves by a beautiful name "Hacktivists" from around the globe , struck back against governments and companies, even individuals trying to muzzle Wikileaks!! They had many great successes, including the shutting down of the website of "MasterCard", which had earlier prevented Credit Card donations from reaching Wikileaks!

Hactivists, and in good causes, are likely to be the new definition of the present day and future heroes, and their philosophy may best be summed up by the wonderful idiomatic German expression: 'EineEirelegende Wollmilchsau' --an egg laying, wood yielding and milk giving sow.

It is a rare expression for a person or thing that fulfills your every need! The force and penetration of Technology in the future, to every strata of the society is formidable. But Professor Uma Gupta adds a dimension 'Crackerists' --a person who breaks into a computer system with malicious intents.

So, the Internet with its millions by millions of computers, and billions of users, while growing at a super rate of over 19% every month, and transmitting millions of bytes every few hours, and having almost every country linked and piped, is a true equaliser and leveller for this inequitable and unjust world!!?

This synopsis may date back to as early as 1994. Crackerists had broken into many company networks in USA.The digital climb was in class by itself for scope,audacity and potential damage. At about the same time, writes Professor Gupta, 'Hacktivism' --people who violate computers to convey their political or social view points emerged mass scale.

The Electronic Disturbance Theatre, a group in Mexico, began an electronic campaign of "Web site shut-ins", a leading denial of services. While in 1997, a group called 'Hong Kong Blondes' in China went on a rampage to protest human rights violations by shutting down most of China's Military Computers!!

So let me end this advance part 1 research from !WOW! with a spiritual quotation from Reverend Martin Luther King: "It maybe true that the law can't change the heart, But it can restrain the heartless!" Brilliant Sir!

See ya folks on part 2!! Never miss! God Bless and Good Night!!
