The Jester, greyhat patriot who hacked Talibans' websites and forced Wikileaks to change their hosting, is now going after LulzSec. This is a lot more entertaining than TV: https://twitter.com/#!/th3j35t3r https://twitter.com/#!/th3j35t3r
- rbanffy 15y agoA patriot sides with the people. A loyalist, with the government. In a couple years we may decide what he is. If, that is, we still care.
- xutopia 15y agoIn a couple years we'll all be saying that 2 + 2 = 5.
- kabushikigaisha 15y agoHe's just a troll/internet tough guy having verbal warfare via Twitter and IRC.
- zyfo 15y agoReally? Xerxes seems impressing to me. Not that I know too much about it, but you're not exactly convincing. Xerxes: http://th3j35t3r.wordpress.com/2010/12/09/time-to-speak-up-part-two/ http://th3j35t3r.wordpress.com/2010/12/09/time-to-speak-up-p...
- kabushikigaisha 15y agoDon't believe me, just search through Twitter convos[1] between them. It's pretty funny actually. Lulzsec does something. th3j35t3r gets terrimad and says they are all that is wrong in the world. Lulzsec chortles `u mad bro`? GOTO 10. He's actually laid another ultimatum (for the umpteenth time in the last 3 months) promising revenge. His first act seems to be that irc.lulzco.org is down. We shall see if anything else comes from his indignation. [1] http://bettween.com/lulzsec/th3j35t3r http://bettween.com/lulzsec/th3j35t3r
- getsat 15y agoI love the fact that LulzSec actually calls him out constantly, calling him a "schizo retard" and threatening to reveal the exploit he's using to take down sites. It's immature, of course, but entertaining as an observer.
- cantbecool 15y agoNo, LulSec said that he is part of the illuminati. I'm not even sure they were even serious, but funny regardless.

- dexen 15y agoSay, during American Revolutionary War, wouldn't the Jester be considered `loyalist', rather than `patriot'?

- tvon 15y agoSure, and in WWII the jester would be a patriot. What other fun wars can we just toss these people into?
- hugh3 15y agoWhat if he were a patriot of Vichy France? No, I don't actually want an answer to that. Calling him a "greyhat patriot" is sufficiently descriptive to mark him out as some kind of Lulzsec mirror image. If we're gonna have a Lulzsec, we might as well have an anti-Lulzsec as well. Makes life slightly more entertaining.
- RobAtticus 15y agoJust a note, he also had the Westboro Baptist Church's websites down for about 2 months (Feb-April of this year).
- wlievens 15y agoEveryone hates WBC, news at 11? Glad to see there's something everyone on any spectrum manages to agree on.
- omouse 15y agoPatriotism and nationalism are two of the greatest diseases that humankind has ever known. I bet The Jester is as middle-class as the LulzSec people.
- hugh3 15y agoI bet The Jester is as middle-class as the LulzSec people Well, almost certainly. I doubt he'd claim to be anything else (isn't everybody middle-class nowadays? [1]) so I'm not sure the point of this comment. [1] OK, not everybody is middle-class. The people who aren't are either too uneducated to use a computer, or too busy snorting coke off hookers asses on their private jets to be interested in this crap.
- omouse 15y agoMy point is that the upper-class is fighting a different war and being divided from others by nationalism and protecting a war-mongering police state from other middle-class folks is retarded. There's a bigger game that's being played: making the internet safe for commerce. The Jester is not playing that game, he's going to be playing the "middle-class squabbles" game that distracts people from the bigger game.
- hugh3 15y agoOh fab, another conspiracy theory wacko. I really thought HN needed some of them!
- omouse 15y agouh there's no conspiracy theory, what I say is in plain sight. Who benefits from the DMCA, PATRIOT ACT, TSA patdowns, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Surely not us who are in the middle class. I like the ad hominem though, keep it coming.
- hugh3 15y agoYou are, nonetheless, attributing to malice what could easily be attributed to incompetence.
