Anonymous Claims It Helped With Revolutions

**Skip** · 02-21-2011, 05:32 PM

The group Anonymous has claimed it aided the Revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and Algeria by shutting down government websites and putting pages up on them supporting the revolutions. Previous actions by Anonymous have targeted the Church of Scientology.

Just yesterday there were claims that Anonymous was going to attack the anti-gay Westboro Church, but those claims were denied in a letter by the group.

even if they make claims, they could be complete lies. And when they deny something, it could be completely true.

There's no official leader that makes press releases

They've just issued a statement of solidarity with the people of Libya and a demand for the U.N. to intervene.

Shocked by the images we’ve seen.
Shocked by the things Libya’s Anons have told us.
Shocked by the fact that one man ignores the voices of his citizens and opens fire on them.
Shocked by the fact that even with generals and diplomats deserting, this man is still ignoring the will of his people and unwilling to accept their human rights

People ought not have to fear their leaders; leaders ought to fear their people. In too many places, though, this is currently not the case. A grasping dictator has taken an army to the skies and the streets to shed blood of people whom he should be protecting. Some of them have bravely refused, and thereby done their part; when will the UN do theirs?

We just want the people to be free. Please help us help them. Again, this is not an attack, but rather a bid for your full attention, which ought to be directed towards assisting Libyans in their quest for liberty.

The United Nations has the power to prevent this egregious loss of life, but it must act quickly and decisively to do so, contrary to its usual habits.

We ask not for meetings or referenda. Rather, we demand that you implement the following measures and do so in a manner that will minimize the loss of life among civilians and put an end to the rule of this degenerate tyrant.

1. Provide a blanket no-fly zone to prevent state controlled aircraft from bombing civilians.
2. Provide secured transport of medical supplies to major population centers.
3. Announce the implemention of these measures within 24 hours.

That world which you claim to protect is watching and will respond accordingly.

We are Anonymous
We are Legion.
We do not forget,
We do not forgive.

Expect us.

So do we side with Anonymous? I would like to know who "they" are before I decide. Peace

I'm with people that won't turn against its OWN.

If it rallies the people, brings them together, as long as that goal is for good, to stop injustice, to free the people, Its good. If the long term intent of anonynous is that its good.

I don't think it's about siding with Anonymous; I agree with their statement but that is because I support the citizens of Libya.

I'm somewhat interested to see what might could come of Anonymous taking on Westboro Church...

I think we're starting to see a fundamental issue with being Anonymous

**reb** · 02-22-2011, 03:40 PM

i would like to know 'what's in it for Anonymous?' before i would lend any support, moral or otherwise. the fact they want the un to intervene anywhere tells me they do not have a practical view. i do not trust the un or their goals. i don't think un diplomats are 'about freedom'.
