‘Anonymous’ topples, defaces Zimbabwe government websites
RawStory, December 31, 2010
The Zimbabwe African National Union (Zanu-PF) website, Zimbabwean government website and Zimbabwean Finance Ministry website were the target of cyber attacks on Thursday by a loose-knit group of online hacktivists known as “Anonymous.”
The websites were hit with distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks after Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe’s wife, Grace Mugabe, sued a newspaper for publishing a WikiLeaks cable that alleged she was connected with illicit diamond trade.
All three websites targeted by “Anonymous” were knocked offline and the Finance Ministry website was also defaced with messages saying “We are Anonymous” and “The world hates us, we kill our own people, we have no control of the economy, we repress free speech, we kill and rape for fun, we are Zanu-PF.”
The website AnonNews announced that the group was “targeting Mugabe and his regime in the ZanuPF who have outlawed the free press and threaten to sue anyone publishing Wikileaks.”

I can’t think of any good music to go with this.
Oh, wait…
Edger, this seemed like as good a place as any for this.
I wonder if this is not the result of a US Military weapons test.
Beebe, AR is just 30 miles or so from Little Rock AFB, which is the home to a large contingent of Weaponized C-130 aircraft.
This mass of dead birds could been targeted by a new aerial weapon ( various kinds of ray weapons are in development).

I enjoy connecting the dots on my own, I very well could be wrong on this but it is up to each of to use our minds to investigate.
