Anonymous Just Took Down NAMBLA’s Homepage to Protest Pedophilia Pride Day

As you may, hopefully, be unaware, today is Alice Day, a day inspired by Lewis Carroll's debated sexual attraction to Alice In Wonderland's very underage and very real counterpart, when proud pedophiles come together in celebration of their disorder. So it's a beautiful day for a NAMBLA takedown, and Anonymous was happy to answer the call.

Developing: Anonymousis currently keeping multiple child porn websites offline right now for #OpAlice: @reportapedo. #TangoDown

The hacker group gave fair warning of their intent several days ago with this YouTube video—and if you have any faith inhumanity that you'd prefer to maintain,might I suggest avoiding the video'scomment section.

NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association and one of the most prominent pedophilia advocate groups to date, was one of the first to get hit. At the time of this post, attempts to access NAMBLA's homepage left you with the following message, although the site now appears to be back up:

The really hard core have very hard sites to find. They meet through chat rooms and code. It is a byzantine network that has to be tracked carefully to find them. These people make NAMBLA look quaint. Truly sickening and scary.

jihadist websites to prevent amateur terrorist bombings.

I sure hope there are vigilante groups out there using "To Catch (and apparently release) a Predator" tactics to deal with the situation much more efficiently than NBC was doing.

Still, that -particularly the bit about Ginsberg being a member- is disappointing.

I love freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, and I know that means you have to respect that for people you don't agree with. But I guess I do draw a line somewhere. Eff 'em.

I know Anon doesn't work well with LEOs...but maybe this ONE TIME they could forward a list of people that belong to NAMBLA to the FBI? Just a random thought.

I never assume the FBI knows shit. Anon would be in a far more superior role in catching some of these predators, then LEOs. A public shaming couldn't hurt either. I'd be for that too. Whatever it takes to expose these perverts.

Whether or not Carroll had an attraction to "Alice," there is no evidence that he ever touched her or did any harm.

So, well, well, well, Pedophilia Pride Day! Perhaps they should get some of their young victims to comment on this. I'm sure they are so glad to see that these a-holes have a day to celebrate.

You'd think NAMBLA would be a support group for people to learn how to deal with their desires and keep them in check and perhaps transcend them, but noooooo... they are proud of this???

Sick.

I don't care what kind of hat they wear.

But you are absolutely right. James Dobson springs, immediately, to mind. As do the people who believe doctors are "ungodly" and so let their kids stay sick.
