Anonymous leaks 1.7 GB of data and email from the U.S. Bureau of Justice

Halfway through that incredibly overdramatic video, it shows chains around the globe, with each link labeled something like "Police State" ... "Military/Industrial Complex" ... etc. Then there is one labelled "Vaccines". Has anyone, acting as Anonymous, ever taken an anti-Vac stance? I would have expected Anon to be on the scientific side of that issue.

Just to throw some paranoia on the paranoia, maybe the vaccine link shown is part of a government plot to discredit Anonymous.

Because somewhere in a Anon marketing meeting the DoJ plant pipes up and says "hey, we should put something about how vaccines are a tool of the 1%", and everyone else thinks it is a good enough idea to include it?

Err, the vast majority of vaccines have a colossal amount of government/corporate push even when a cursory look at the history books shows that the vast majority of catastrophic communicable diseases were in decline before mass vaccination programs. The solution? Proper hygiene, clean water and modern sewage treatment. Seriously. Most of these virulent diseases were at their deadliest before Pasteur convinced everyone that "germs" actually do exist. They peaked in fatal potency with mass-migration to cities during the late 18th and early 19th century.

So I can understand the evolution of the thought process that companies like Glaxo-Smith-Kline and Novartis, to say nothing of the well-document link between the WHO and Tamiflu manufacturer during the H1N1 pandemic, have undue influence on whether you take a shot of a polio vaccine for a disease that is literally only spread through contact with infected feces. When's the last time you bathed in shit-filled water?

You can't make this shit up! Err, wait.

Umm... the US Bureau of Justice isn't the name of a federal agency. This dump is actually from the Bureau of Justice Statistics [0]. [0] http://news.yahoo.com/computer-hackers-access-u-justice-depa...

Unless I'm missing something, most of that data should already be available either through direct US government publications, or FOIA requests.

They actually have a website set up for asking for the information: http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/index.cfm?ty=daa
