attacking an entrenched power is the height of stupidity

i don't fall into others traps

i posted a link with a perfectly legitimate linux distro that comes with firefox and tor for browsing invisibly on the net from a legitimate place that offers white hat training
but it got deleted.

pffffft

All knowledge is power.
Those who know more than everyone else are more powerful than everyone else.
If you turn your back on knowledge, you doom yourself to slavery at the hands of those who know.

others will be falling into any traps, but not me, even on windows my browser is only revealing about 20 bits of info
which may or may not be of use to anyone trying to track me

anonymous is a mask
and anyone can wear it, for any reason

most of the naysayers and the ones shouting "criminals!!! Terrorists are very afraid of the implications,have something to hide, or are too invested in the status quo.

here's another famous mask which just might be the origin of using the V mask of anon:

Bauta

Bauta (sometimes referred to as baùtta) is the whole face, with a stubborn chin line, no mouth, and lots of gilding". One may find masks sold as Bautas that cover only the upper part of the face from the forehead to the nose and upper cheeks, thereby concealing identity but enabling the wearer to talk and eat or drink easily. It tends to be the main type of mask worn during the Carnival.

It was used also on many other occasions as a device for hiding the wearer's identity and social status. It would permit the wearer to act more freely in cases where he or she wanted to interact with other members of the society outside the bounds of identity and everyday convention. It was thus useful for a variety of purposes, some of them illicit or criminal, others just personal, such as romantic encounters.

In 18th century, the Bauta had become a standardized society mask and disguise regulated by the Venetian government.[3][4] It was obligatory to wear it at certain political decision-making events when all citizens were required to act anonymously. Only citizens had the right to use the Bauta. Its role was similar to the anonymizing processes invented to guarantee general, direct, free, equal and secret ballots in modern democracies.

It was not allowed to wear weapons along with the mask, and police had the right to enforce this ruling.

it was also worn to carry out vendettas.

wiki doesn't have much on it [dangerous idea perhaps?]
it was also known by the names "The Common Man" and "The Great Leveler"

A rapper. Wow... Just because someone is inspired to talk about something doesn't make it right. I'm expecting Bozo the clown to pop up any day now.

reply to post by soaringhawk


Well a rapper is far more likely to reach young people with a message in a format that they can relate to.

So what is your problem? You don't like rap, or are you waiting for Anonymous the Opera? Why the snide and condescending attitude? And the poster didn't say the inspiration of this rapper 'makes it right'. Neither does it make it wrong. Its just whats happening.

PS Your comment about you 'expecting Bozo the clown to pop up any day now'? Whats that about?

reply to post by Malcram


And reaching young fertile minds is what they want. The younger, the more susceptible. Our celebrity worship youth society is evident of that. And no, rather they & this whole event are Bozo the clown.


Anon would be Bozo and all the little children are their followers.

reply to post by soaringhawk


Lol, you sound like you want to now make out like they're predators of children or something. Its these ridiculous and completely unfounded, irrational assertions you pepper your posts with that ruin whatever meagre logic might be hiding at the core of your perspective.

Anonymous ARE young, fertile minds. They are the engine of what Anonymous is. They are not predators upon youth, they are Youth.

Your wild and overblown demonizing of Anonymous isnt doing your argument any favours.

reply to post by Malcram


No I'm not making them out to be that. As 'they' say, anon is faceless. It's everyone. That's why there's a question mark as the head. It's sure not 12, 11 year old's doing this.

I would just like to point out :

Every thing that is wrong with this world is paid for by us, so if you don't like it take all your money out of your Bank,get your boss to pay you with cash and just buy what you need not what you want.

I guess that would be NO then

Or we can go to gold & silver. Now that would be interesting. That's one of the reason's my vote goes for Ron Paul in 2012.

I'll assume, from that statement, that you have never actually worked for the Feds. You give them far too much credit. And yes, I have worked for them in various capacities, including hiring.

People who are anti-anonymous are anti-human. There is a lot of censorship here, which is sad - but we do not own this forum and we are in another "house."

As for Anonymous never doing anything - Egypt would differ, Wikileaks would differ, the US Government, Turkish Government, Greek Government etc, etc, etc would all differ on that statement.

The only people who dislike Anonymous are those who adore war, corporations, money, power, elitism, sadism, masochism and enslavement. It is sad to see how many of you people actually exist in this changing world.

Anonymous ain't hacking for the LuLz anymore.

I think you have it wrong being anonymous makes you anti-human but when you come out and do something and take responsibility for it (anti-anonymous) then you become human.

Not sure if this has already been posted here, but Facebook does not allow me to link this video in my status - they say it has already been marked as spam. I guess it will be a lot harder than we thought to get the massage out, huh? At least I can, however, link this thread in my status .

I just wanted to add a response to those discussing a "peoples revolution". Such things have occurred MANY times in the past and surely we need to learn from our mistakes?

Tearing down a government without having a strong positive idea to put in its place, is just going to lead to the same situation or worse, it is essentially pleasant sounding phraseology masking a path to anarchy.

It does need tearing down, but surely we need the vision of a better future first?

Some sort of global voting system? This would only work if every single person had access to 100% of information and actually WANTED responsibility for their own actions, I don't see this as likely to happen.

The sad reality is that it looks like mankind will end up splitting, the individual becoming further and further isolated from the media, from society, from laws.



You make very good points Stepstone! Yes, there has do be some kind of plan, or direction to head into, but this is a start. Just getting the majority of the people in this nation onboard is a start. A very large percentage of the citizens of the U.S.A. believe that 9/11 was an inside job. People are awakening to the harsh realities now becoming prevalent in this country! People are sleeping in their cars, social security will probably be gone very soon, heck, I could be one of those people sleeping in their cars! I don't believe in anarchy, there has to be structure of some type, but the people can work it out, and can come up with something that is equitable for all citizens. We need to remove all the present crew in DC, and start new, and get rid of the federal reserve!! This would be a nice start!

reply to post by Afterthought


I'm not laughing at you Afterthought!! ALL the social networking sites are gathering personal info on everyone on them! AT&T has a government computer tapped into their fiber pipe at every large fiber hub in every city in this country!! These computers are ON LOCATION at the AT&T buildings where these fiber hubs are located. There was a 60 minutes piece done on a whistle blower that exposed AT&T for doing this! He was fired of course, but AT&T is in bed with the United States government, it's a fact! I'm fully aligned with you on this, and information gathering from the social networks.FYI, those government computers are STILL in the AT&T buildings siphoning off everything going through their pipe.

This just needs to be repeated. Anon will give the administration ALL the ammo it needs to enforce draconian rule on the internet.

reply to post by beezzer



No anon is the response to draconian admin trying to control the internet. What do you expect peeps to do, bend over and take it...

reply to post by Captain Beyond


They don't need AT&T its just faster and easier that way. The internet has a creator and it would have all the information ever processed through the internet.
