‘Anonymous’ Hackers Threaten Ted Cruz With Alleged Prostitution Secret

Source: Radar Online

Ted Cruz thought Donald Trump was the biggest roadblock on his journey to the White House, but RadarOnline.com has learned he’s now facing an even more terrifying threat: This afternoon, an individual purporting to be a representative of the hacker group Anonymous posted a disturbing Twitter video that threatens to expose ‘very dirty secrets’ including information about Cruz ‘visiting prostitutes!’


“Your lying during this presidential campaign has gotten out of control,” the chilling video begins. A voice alleges, “You have committed voter fraud to steal votes that do not belong to you … The fraud you have committed will not be tolerated.” “Anonymous will not let this go without repercussions or consequences,” the video states. “We will not sit and watch the citizens of America fall for it any longer.”


“Almost every word that comes out of your mouth is a complete lie … and you, Mr. Cruz, have been hiding behind some very dirty secrets that lie beneath the surface … secrets that you believed would never haunt you.” “It’s time that we tell America what’s hiding behind the curtain,” the voice states, taunting, “… Do you recall visiting prostitutes?” (The clip offers no suggestion or proof that Cruz actually did consort with hookers, however.)

Finally, the video ends with an ultimatum: “Mr. Cruz, we are now demanding that you exit this race within 24 hours, or Anonymous will release all of the information we have found … Your acts that you think were done in the dark will be brought out for all the public to see …Your disgusting behavior … will go viral on every social media platform.”

with hookers, but as a rule of thumb think the hookers deserved better than they probably got.

I'd like to see Cruz drop out of the race on general principles alone.

videos full of threats and ominous warnings, full of doomy music and dialogue that could have been written by George Lucas, but have they ever actually done anything? It sounds like a bunch of people who just love hearing themselves talk.

I'm not sure how they got the reputation of even being called "hackers." Most of their "hacks" are actuallty DDOS from a third party tool. In reality, they've done very little that is impressive or useful. Most of them are wannabes.

And isn't Carnival Cruz already boinking some campaign staffer?

I can't wait for this 24-hour deadline. Right wing hardliners have made critical errors underestimating the cunning of young people and those opposed to the shameless display by ideologues. They are agreeable by choice, not because they are incapable of confrontation.

While it would be entertaining if actual dirt on Cruz was revealed, I doubt anything is going to come of this. I'm surprised Anonymous has the energy to pursue Cruz after expending so much effort "taking down" ISIS.

I suspect that shortly after posting that video, the authors mom was calling him from the kitchen to "turn off that computer and come upstairs for dinner"!

After what right-wing Republicans did to Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky "scandal," any empathy I might once have had has been replaced by schadenfreude.

Rapid fire allegations. Sounds like some brilliant maneuvering on the part of the Kasich campaign!
