The Truth Behind OpUniteBlue, Putting the Pieces Together

Whether female, LGBT, Black, Hispanic, Asian or any other minority, you probably know from personal experience that equality in America is more theory than fact. Progress often seems like a journey of two steps forward and one step back due to the extraordinary efforts made by conservatives to limit freedoms and choices. Social Media is a microcosmic version of the real world so it's no surprise that attacks on civil liberties can also be found on Twitter. One of the more unusual attacks was called #OpUniteBlue.

Operation Unite Blue was an organized effort to attack and destroy the Liberal organization, Unite Blue by smearing, doxing threatening, harassing, and hacking its members. The Op crossed the line into criminal activities when they scanned the UB website, posted its vulnerabilities publicly and then hacked uniteblue.com.

On Saturday, March 8th, it will be one year since OpUniteBlue began, on that day we will launch a new website chronicling the events that took place during the past year as well as new ones as they occur. The website will also serve as a repository for the thousands of tweets, screen captures and information collected over the past year that document the events and our discoveries.




 

opuniteblue.com will show that four separate groups were involved in the Op. There was a small group of ConnectTheLeft members who joined forces with TGDN Conservatives to destroy UniteBlue. The Anonymous Collective was mislead and manipulated into joining the crusade. And through it all some familiar faces involved in past conflicts were on the scene to fan the flames: those we call the Cabal and others refer to as Team Kimberlin or Team Rauhauser.

Despite all attempts, Unite Blue survived and is thriving.

Several lawsuits are underway now with members of the Cabal as defendant so there should be some interesting revelations.

We hope you'll visit opuniteblue.com. Its a noncommercial website created by unpaid volunteers and protected under the first amendment. Our motto is Facts Matter

The seed of OpUniteBlue was planted February 26th, 10 days before the Op began on March 8th.
