Anonymous Helps Westboro Hate Group Raise Reported $8,000 For Tornado Victims

What’s that? The infamous hate group, WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) was taking donations for Oklahoma Tornado victims? Wait. Are we talking about the same group that tried to picket the funerals of Boston Marathon bomb victims and the children killed in the Sandy Hook elementary massacre? WBC is now a loving giving tree?

Well no. Not really. Not by choice.


Apparently a designated Oklahoma tornado WBC website, GodHatesOklahoma.com, was hacked by Anonymous this week. The hactivists found a way to direct visitors from the WBC site to a Red Cross donation site, automatically. (I do love this story.)

When people would go to visit Westboro Baptist Church, they would see photo of ‘Jesus’ giving the middle finger and a message:

”Westboro Faptist Church — Even Jesus Hates You.” (Faptist being a reference to the word “fap,” Internet slang for “masturbate”).


‘On the 8th day, God created hackers, and he saw that it was good.’ From the Gospel according to @th3j35t3r Redirecting in 5 seconds…….”

Then visitors were taken to a Red Cross donation site for victims of the storm. The Twitter account referenced, @th3j35t3r, belongs to “Jester,” who is well known as a hacker. As of this writing, I could not open the page, GodHatesOklahoma. It’s reported the Red Cross took in 8k from donations during the Anonymous hacking stunt
