As for the U.S. government, it no longer has ANY moral high ground on which to stand with now over a decade of unprovoked war and mass murder, of carnage for profits, as well as now routinely and even openly hostile and abusive to its own citizenry. Things like the Patriot Act and the TSA would not have been tolerated by the American public 40 years ago. As a U.S. citizen and veteran, that saddens me considerably, but I am not hypocritical nor dishonorable such that I can't admit the truth.
Most controversially, I suscribe most of the fault for this erosion of American freedom to the rise of American Christian extremism and radicalism. American Evangelicals are jihadists of the highest order, they merely have better PR and weaponry than their Islamic soulmates.edit on 10-2-2011 by pajoly because: typo, as usual

Why shout for your own freedom of speech and movement in US then complain when another nation does??
This group aren't hackers they have put their vids on U Tube for a while and what they say is true.
US Government has been giving Egypt one and half BILLION Dollars every year in Military Funds they HAVE provided arms/tear gas etc also with a clause stating that it would be illigal or them to be used against their own people which is why US complained when they were.
When the Egyptian people do eventually get their democracy the first thing they will do is shout loud about what Isreal is doing to the Palastinian People and their Land and the illegal occupation of the land.
Now will US still stand by the Rothchild owned Isreal then? Very different matter eh!
The name Rothchild first appeared in the 18th Century when Myer Amschel Bauer established his Banking Empire in Frankfurt and changed the family name to Rothchild.
The Bauers were a notorious Satanic family in Middle Ages Germany and the Major Rothchilds remain master black magicians to this day.
Mayer Amschels father Moses was a money lender and proprietor of a counting house.
The name Rothcschild derives from the German 'rotes-child' or 'red shield'/'red sign' refering to the hexagram which hung over the Bauer home as their logo-better known as the star of david. (funny Isreal didn't come about until 1947/48) I think it's time to join the dots.

did u think about that statement before you typed it ???
since tear gas is only effective for crowd control
and that is it's purpose, then who the heck did
the US think that Egypt was gonna use it on????
Aliens getting off flying saucers in Harir Square ???
Did the US think about it before they supplied them? I think is more to the point!

well I ALMOST had a change of heart
about anonymous.
I was in complete agreement with the message
til he mentioned the United Nations.
If anon is associated with the United Nations,
then I want no part of them. United Nations
mean NWO and I will not be an accessory.
AND as a side note: If Anon is associated
with the United Nations then they are
associated with George Soros. They are
all on the same side.
While I agree that Egyptians should have their
freedom from tyranny, I must say that ousting
one dictator and gaining another even more evil is
not making progress at all.
Nothing is at it appears to be.

I think the anger towards the US in this case is misdirected. The Egyptian military, in which the protesters themselves revere, use the same USA weapons that the police were using to subdue the crowds. Thats one of the last exports the US makes really weapons. Somebody is gonna buy them doesnt mean you support a regime you support a profit. USA isn't the only supplier to Egypt. Russia sells weapons to them too. You think we are the only ones lending Aid to them?
In this case Im glad we are staying out of it. We are in enough wars. We need to get out of the ones we are in now. Nowadays anytime we get involved to "help" we are to blame even when we are not involved we are to blame. Many times rightfully so. This is a personal battle amongst countrymen and needs to be resolved as such. Doesnt matter who wins to us because we will still be willing to do business with whomever comes out on top.
US isnt the only country with intrest in Egypt or the only one doing business with a dictator, or the only one supplying weapons.

If you sell weapons to someone knowing they most likely will use it for tools of oppression, submission, and abuse of power, you are as responsible as they are for their actions. If I sell a gun to a guy who says he needs it to rob and murder people (or if I just know what he is going to do), I'm just as guilty as he is. I couldn't say I did it for profit and get away with it. I'd be held accountable as an accessory.
We can tell ourselves it's just for profit that our country needs and not in support of certain people as much as we want, but it's not true. I love my country, but our government does some terrible and blatantly stupid things. All powerful countries do.
Anon is just expressing what many people who are aware of the situation are thinking.
Edit: In this case the imagery is as important as the actions. The egyptian people are being suppressed by people using U.S. products. No matter the initial reason for it being sold to Egypt, they will now associate us with the government they want thrown out.

The fact of the matter is the US government and the UN claim they are there to protect people in situations such as the Egyptian people are in.
Instead they make money off the situation and turn a blind eye.
What the Egyptian "Leader" is doing is real terrorism and dictatorship.
I thought we were supposed to be fighting terror? Not aiding it.

No Cussing ClubIn January 2009 members of Anonymous targeted California teen McKay Hatch who runs the No Cussing Club, a website against profanity.[58][59] As Hatch's home address, phone number, and other personal information were leaked on-line, his family has received a lot of hate mail, lots of obscene phone calls, and even bogus pizza and pornography deliveries.[60]
YouTube porn dayOn May 20, 2009, members of Anonymous uploaded numerous pornographic videos onto YouTube.[61] Many of these videos were disguised as children's videos or family friendly videos with tags such as "Jonas brothers."[61] YouTube has since removed all videos uploaded. The BBC contacted one of the uploaders who stated that it was a "4chan raid" organized due to the removal of music videos from YouTube.[62] BBC News reported that one victim posted a comment saying: "I'm 12 years old and what is this?"[62] which went on to become an internet meme.
