Heritage President Kevin Roberts made news last week when he said the American right was “in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

They’re really not hiding it anymore, they straight up want another civil war.

If the left what?? Mask completely off now, huh.

They were never really hiding it, we just all assumed they were insane fringe ideas and nothing would come of it. Things have changed…

From their telegram:

final hack~

over the past 7 days, we have released a hack every day, from NATO to Israel, we attacked many. we have one more gift for you all, its one minute till midnight so i’ll start the show~

we hacked The Heritage Foundation :3 (holy moly!!!) The Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank in America, among the most influential public policy organizations. this organization is responsible for leading Project 2025, an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government.

Project 2025 threatens the rights of abortion healthcare and LGBTQ+ communities in particular. so of course, we won’t stand for that! -

we have gained access to The Heritage Foundation’s database, with user data, logs, and other juicy info :D we also accessed 200GB+ of other, mostly useless, files in their server. these useless files wont be leaked.

mew mew i wonder what would happen if we leaked the passwords, email addresses, and full names of every user :3 every US government employee, even the Heritage president Kevin Roberts.

be gay do crime~

Seems like they’re keeping the link up to date on their telegram https://t.me/s/SiegedSecurity

Why put out a leak using mega‽

Why not a torrent which is decentralised and not annoying like Mega

If the feds connect to the tracker before the file is fully seeded, the IP address of the lone seeder will be exposed. Torrents are good for their resistance to censorship, but they’re bad for privacy.

That can be solved by setting up multiple partial seeders, so none has the full file, but as a whole they can still seed it.

And/or seeding over I2P.

TIL

I’m sure people will be seeding it in no time

Anyone got the file to open? I tried using mega but ran into problems.

As a furry

The Heritage Foundation can get absolutely fucked.

a grizzly thats also a druid.

Sounds like a Wookie

More likely a pink panda, but let’s not split hairs.

May I recommend either duck or dolphin

I’m fine with both to be honest. They can do shifts if they want.

I wonder if a verifiable link to Trump can be made through network (as in graphs) analysis of the people and their connections in that list.

It’s an official act, so total immunity applies.

What isn’t an official act you say? Well that’s a good question, but simply put anything that isn’t an unofficial act. But then what’s an unofficial act I hear you ask? I’ll let you know once we have found one, but so far none have been found and it’s possible none exist.

Close… the way it was phrased it basically becomes up to the Supreme Court to decide what’s “official”

He’s not currently president, so it wouldn’t be an official act, no? The wording doesn’t give the president immunity for life. It has to be something done through the office of the president.

Would that make a difference?

Doubtful, but, though unlikely, perhaps some media house would want to pick it up?

But only in that order.

2 gigs is not a lot.

That 2600 pages of Trans hate collection is 60MB.

Videos? Yeah.

Documents? Can be quite a lot!
