‘Hactivists’ target websites of far-right American Third Position and publish emails praising BNP leader Nick Griffin. Hacked emails from a far-right group appear to reveal links with the BNP, after the group of American „hactivists“ Anonymous targeted a number of US extremists’ websites. The group infiltrated the site of American Third Position, a white nationalist political group, in a campaign ironically dubbed „Operation Blitzkrieg“, publishing emails in which it praised the BNP leader, Nick Griffin. In one January 2010 email from „WhiteNewsNow“ with the subject „Your Beautiful Pontoon Bridge“, Griffin is described as „probably the most effective white activist in the world today“. A member of the group writes: „I’ve got my tickets for Jared Taylor’s 2010 American Renaissance. Your fellow WhiteNewsNow members [...] are meeting up with some more of us and probably the most effective White activist in the world today, Nick Griffin.“ In another from December 2009, the sender refers to Griffin in an email about the Copenhagen climate conference. It states: „Today will definitely be a Pearl Harbor for the Global Warming criminals who are at this moment cringing in the 4,200-seat arena in Copenhagen where Nick Griffin is clobbering them with the truth about Climategate. Good things are happening … and this is our chance to seize the opportunity.“
