Anonops #6: Anonymous en de MO-revoluties

quote:

It's agreed among those active in Anonymous that the original Public Release to WBC was -not- an Anonymous operation.

Operations typically have an entire planning and recruitment phase (This can take a couple of days for each phase, to a couple of weeks) online before an Public Release is made; there was no planning or recruitment phase on any of the the traditional "anonymous" areas of gathering. Traditionally Anonymous has their entire operation planned prior to the release and announcement to the world of the upcoming operation. None of Anonymous traditional formations and planning was done prior to this release.

A third unknown party sparked this confrontation, either WBC themselves or another unknown; the Anonymous "Hive Mind" was in agreement after WBC's response was released that an operation against WBC was pointless and a waste of man power when currant operations in Bahrain, Iran, Libya were far more important. It was only after WBC continued to taunt Anonymous lack of response, beside the Denial Press Release, that anything was decided on Anonymous part.

The key thing about Anonymous in this entire affair was that they neither sparked nor wanted the confrontation; it was the believe of the "Hive Mind" that paying attention to WBC and giving it Media fodder would detract from what was taking place in the Middle East. However, neither the Media nor the WBC wanted to let the issue lay with sensationalist release, and Anonymous is perfectly content to respond when so many are clamoring for it. "When the people speak We listen"...It is best when it comes to Anonymous to leave them alone, avoid casting the spotlight on what they are or are not doing. They have their own agenda, but if you provoke them Anonymous will respond and it is not always in a way one can anticipate.

Anonymous is the consummate prankster; morals, ethics, laws which would keep normal groups in line with society expectations are what Anonymous will ignore simply because Our reaction to it is amusing to them.

I do not agree, nor do I disagree, with what Anonymous does or does not do. I was fairly proud that the papers and media outlets within Idaho had ignored most of sensationalism which follows in Anonymous' wake, and while this article is not sensationalist, it will provide Anonymous with ad revenue to grow and expound upon their currant operations and future ones as readers decide to google these hacktivists.

While it is generally not our policy to comment publicly on account dealings, we are sharing the following statement to clarify information regarding the Courage To Resist organization’s PayPal account and their claim that this is somehow associated with their support of U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning. Let me be clear, this decision had nothing to do with WikiLeaks.

We recently placed a temporary limitation of the Courage to Resist organization’s PayPal account as they had not complied to our stated policy requiring non profits to associate a bank account with their PayPal account (for the vast majority of non-profits, this is not an issue).

In a press release issued today, the Courage to Resist organization claimed that their resistance to follow our policy is because PayPal sought to withdraw funds from their checking account. To be clear: PayPal cannot take such action without the authorization of an account holder, nor does it ever take such unauthorized actions.

Upon review, and as part of our normal business procedures, we have decided to lift the temporary restriction placed on their account because we have sufficient information to meet our statutory ‘Know Your Customer’ obligations. The Courage to Resist PayPal account is now fully operational.

–Anuj Nayar, director of communications

Butterworth sounded tired as he recounted the days for us—when we spoke, 17 had passed since the initial attack. Since then, HBGary has been flooded with phone calls and voicemails of the "you should be ashamed of yourself" type and worse; the fax machines have been overwhelmed with Anonymous outpourings; people have been "directly threatening our employees with extortion"; threats have been made. Then came RSA.

Butterworth, with a long career in military signals intelligence and private security firms, is no stranger to the dark world of cyberattacks, but he's used to adversaries who retreat after an electronic strike.

Instead, he believes that Anonymous has "decided to continue their antics. They're in it for the laughs… this is a real funny game for them." Not content with the damage they have inflicted, they "harass a company that's trying to get back to work." Each time a new story about the company appears in the press, Butterworth said that these attacks spike again.

quote:

Yeah, I don't buy the death threats accusation at all. My belief, given that culture, is that physical threats are absolutely a lie.

Notice that, mysteriously, the faxes with threats 'weren't available', and the best email they could come up with was hoping they'd die from AIDS.

I don't think, at this point, that anyone should run anything said by either Palantir or HBGary as fact without careful checking.

Ja, hoewel het woord revolutie ook hier meer een media ding is.
Dat er dingen gebeuren staat vast maar of er echt sprake is van een revolutie kun je idd alleen achteraf vaststellen.

quote:

We stand at a unique time in our history, the rise of the internet and computer technology have contributed to an unparallelled rate of prosperity for the First World. We have created for ourselves and empire unlike any other, a global network of constant trade and communication, a new age of technological advancement. We have come a long way from our humble roots in the Industrial Revolution and the days of Manifest Destiny. We are now pioneers on new digital frontiers expanding our domain from the quantum world to the far reaches of space.



And yet, the empire faces a crisis, a global recession, growing poverty, rampant violence, corruption in politics, and threats to personal freedom. As it was before in other times of crisis, the old stories have begun to repeat themselves. The half truths, this time repeated nightly on cable news and echoed through a series of tubes onto the internet: the empire is strong, change is unwise, business as usual is the answer. In times of uncertainty there are those who seek to add to the confusion, to prey on our insecurities and fears. Those who would seek to keep us divided for their own gain. The pervasive strategy takes many very convincing forms: Liberals and Conservatives, Christians and Muslims, Black and White, Saved and sinner.



But something unexpected is happening. We have begun telling each other our own stories. Sharing our lives, our hopes, our dreams, our demons. Every second, day in day out, into all hours of the night the gritty details of life on this earth are streaming around the world. As we see the lives of others played out in our living rooms we are beginning to understand the consequences of our actions and the error of the old ways. We are questioning the old assumptions that we are made to consume not to create, that the world was made for our taking, that wars are inevitable, that poverty is unavoidable. As we learn more about our global community a fundamental truth has been rediscovered: We are not so different as we may seem. Every human has strengths, weaknesses, and deep emotions. We crave love, love laughter, fear being alone and dream for a better life.



You must create a better life.



You cannot sit on the couch watching television or playing video games, waiting for a revolution. You are the revolution. Every time you decide not to exercise your rights, every time you refuse to hear another view point, every time you ignore the world around you, every time you spend a dollar at a business that doesn't pay a fair wage you are contributing to the oppression of the human body and the repression of the human mind. You have a choice, a choice to take the easy path, the familiar path, to walk willingly into your own submission. Or a choice get up, to go outside and talk to your neighbor, to come together in new forums to create lasting, meaningful change for the human race.



This is our challenge:



A peaceful revolution, a revolution of ideas, a revolution of creation. The twenty-first century enlightenment. A global movement to create a new age of tolerance and understanding, empathy and respect. An age of unfettered technological development. An age of sharing ideas and cooperation. An age of artistic and personal expression. We can choose to use new technology for radical positive change or let it be used against us. We can choose to keep the internet free, keep channels of communication open and dig new tunnels into those places where information is still guarded. Or we can let it all close in around us. As we move in to new digital worlds, we must acknowledge the need for honest information and free expression. We must fight to keep the internet open as a marketplace of ideas where all are seated as equals. We must defend our freedoms from those who would seek to control us. We must fight for those who do not yet have a voice. Keep telling your story. All must be heard.

Is that a bill in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Anonymous operatives and Magnanimous contacts have formed a joint operation regarding the decision to take away collective bargaining rights from workers in Wisconsin in a rider on a budget management bill. It is the agreed upon position of the participants in this operation that the right to petition and to assemble in the first amendment is the proper basis for collective bargaining rights and these will be defended. Keep in mind Anonymous has defended the first amendment even for people and groups they do not like. This operation will be even attractive to defenders of freedom, especially the first amendment. This will be more than mere resistance. We will enter the battleground. All your law are belong to us.

We can get more senators and lawyers than the opposition can buy. We will not merely beg to be heard. We are putting a team together to not only fight this law but to also give Governor Walker a law he'll risk his career should he choose to oppose. And this is not going to be idle foolishness. We will deliver original and organic work.

We are Everywhere

We can draft bills and have them reviewed by the interested parties in Wisconsin faster than they can whine to the pliant media. This is an operation that will be armed to the teeth with legal talent, with dedicated bloggers, and with people willing to roll up their sleeves for their fellow citizens, which is the true definition of patriotism. Do not underestimate the organizing power of students, workers, families and communities

Magnanimous group is a subset of Anonymous associated (but unaffiliated as are all Anonymous) with Anons and others who are members of other groups or simply individuals. Where Anonymous may wish to see an outcome, as a subset we can take it further and build that outcome without unnecessarily warping the nature of the larger Anonymous corrective.
