Anonymous Declares War On The System

Anonymous just hacked the IMF.

Precisely my point. Are you prepared to have your government mandate that we all allow them to implant personal information micro-chips into or wrist or (and) foreheads for the so-called sake of protecting us from hackers ?

Think again and TRY REAL HARD.

Well, I never thought of that. However, Anonymous would probably figure out how to hack them too.

ANONYMOUS will be the downfall of the INTERNET.

Interesting ... and they collect the names, opinions and email addys of anyone that might agree as an added bonus.

tell me more Watson.....

THANKYOU

Of course not. We would protest and hack that too. Are you?

Sorry Sherlock, I just chime in for support two to three times per episode and provide at least one scientific diagnosis of some given complexity.

LOL , Whatever...

Don't worry, Quetzalcoatl will bring us all back down to Earth.....

No, taking away net neutrality will be the downfall of the internet.

As a fellow, graybeard, I understand and applaud your comment.

Thank you, nikonwilly. Us graybeards must stick together.

Very funny!

Anonymous is everywhere and nowhere. People are either Anonymous or they are not. Your heart, soul and actions determine if you are Anonymous or not. You don't sign up or anything, you just do. But if you want to learn more about Anonymous, just google The Anonymous Movement.

ironic to google the anonymous movement considering that google is anything but

Sorry.

But, if you are gonna google The Anonymous Movement or any topic along that line, google it from a Public Access Computer in a public library. Google is not your friend. ;^)

By the way, more and more public libraries have wireless internet access available too. Look into such thinks, along with the privacy policies of the libraries you may patronize.

Be aware, NSA letters and warrants to libraries cannot be discussed by any library or staff that get them Make sure your local libraries practice procedures which offer some level of privacy protection for patrons.

Thus my advice to do it from a Public Access Computer at a library, at the very least. Some libraries do log computer users, some require IDs. Some do not. It is good to find out what local practices are.

FWIW

Hearing black helicopters?

Nope, just the guv flying over and checking flood damage. But if people are concerned about being monitored, there are some small steps they can take.

Was just reading today that those cool apps on phones that note when you check into places with WiFi keep records of movement which the FBI and other agencies can go through without need of warrants.

I am not paranoid, just annoyed at the privacy issues going down. Frankly, I do think that most of the data gathering is actually more about marketing than government programs. But then, I am much more concerned with corporations than government anyway.

Citizens are attacked all the time, whether we do anything or nothing. We might as well defend ourselves.

Well and succinctly put.
In truth, I think 90% of my efforts in this world go toward protecting myself from the depredations and toxic stupidity of humans, individually, or more dangerously, congregated and organized in greed-driven corporations, and governments with psychotic agendas.
The ability for humans to do harm has multiplied exponentially in our lifetimes.
If you are at all conscious, your one and only job is protecting yourself and those you love.

Very true... The Russian people wanted out of WWI and their "reward" for their revolution was Stalin... The system has a way of doing that.. But it should not stop people from overthrowing tyrants!

I don't agree that our only job is to protect ourselves and the one we love. Our job as a society is to secure the future for the next generation. Our legacy as a society is the world we leave behind for the next society to build upon. We no longer build towards a future as society.

Russia survived Stalin but not the Industrial Military Complex, because the Russian form of Communism wasn't designed for a endless military build up. Tyranny comes in all forms and all kinds of injustice. The idea of having a shadowy unknown protector of social justice is a bit scary to me. I would give pause to giving full support to a enity that can't be held to accountable.

So we support their actions, but what happens when we don't?

Your right

So true sadly ! We gotta do something about the root causes to relieve ourselves of the symptoms .

False Flag.

And when a system does not allow for constructive correction by the populace, the system is, its self, the author of terrorism. Leaving no other alternative to suggest, work toward, achieve needed corrections in systems is to form desperation. Under desperate conditions, someone will always step up to throw a wooden shoe into the machine.

Of course; I shouldn't have framed it as the "only" job. Helping others is part of who we are. I am hardwired to think about the future of those around me. I hope all that I do works toward that.

I think someone identified the key root cause of our flailing about on the planet as ignorance. I think I agree with that. I'd have to add though, that there is nasty strain of human psychosis that isn't explained by ignorance alone.

We have that already here in the States. The supreme court upheald and appointed a President elected by a rigged election.

You mean like the 2 times that flokking shrub took the white house?

I'm not sure you "Mobilize" a generation, the have to step up and mobilize themselves. Just the same way "The Greatest Generation" did.

What will "mobilize" them, in my opinion, will be when the government take more control of the Internet...i think they do not equate the patriot bill to a loss of freedoms,but when their web blogs and pages start to be removed or censored... that will be the straw.

I respect the intent of the "greatest generation", but time is showing more and more that the two world wars were money making ventures, social experiments and land grabs for the the elite financiers of the world, rather than good conquering evil. The financial elite preliminarily funded all of their eventual enemies. Sometimes they even continued to fund both sides throughout the world wars.

World War I was intended to kill off the revolt of the working class that was happening around the world at that time. Whereas World War II was more about social experimentation and a back door overthrow of multiple governments and regions by the financial elite of the world. While the bad man was overthrown in Europe and the evil empire was defeated in the east, people were distracted by the fact that the financial elite were left holding the deeds to all the countries involved once the dust settled. The world wars were the greatest dog and pony shows ever executed on the general population of the Earth.

agreed

as far as mobilizing my generation.. we'll hit the streets when the illusion of consumer society literally cannot be maintained. I imagine our extensive supply lines are going to be under a lot of strain let alone rising food prices. I hate to be a cynic but I'm still unsure of how we'll handle it; like progressive enlightened beings or disillusioned savages that question will answered depending on how well we connect and educated our fellow people.

Still fighting us old hippys I see.

Go bury your head in the sand and let the real people take back the planet!

Just as amused as ever.

I listened to both vids -- and then posted them on twitter.
