14 Anonymous Arrested in US

What kind of worries me in all this, is that we might inadvertently become suspects by association with threads like this on the internet.

I know a story about some guy in Scotland who recently made some comments on facebook about Neil Lennon, the Celtic manager who has been receiving death threats and bombs in the post. Two days later the police turned up at his door asking questions..

 

Yeah, don't kid yourself. I guarantee that someone from the FBI is monitoring this thread. And to that person I put the question "How are you feeling about YOUR liberty right about now?" The day we allow ourselves to be afraid to openly say anything in this nation is the day that this nation becomes no different than North Korea. I refuse to be intimidated by the people I employ. Remember these assholes are supposed to be working for us, for our benefit, and they need to be reminded of it, and frequently. In my not-so-humble opinion - this is exactly the point that Anon is trying to make. You can call them cyber terrorist, but let me remind you of one fact. The difference between terrorist/terrorism and freedom fighter/revolution is perspective. Take the BOA example - Bank of America was (and I have no doubt continues) to break the fucking law of the land. Who regulates it? Who's coming down on BOA in a meaningful way - I'm not talking about some piss ant fine that they've already accounted for in their risk management report. BOA's lawyers know how to get around the law - and that's why they recruit the best and even if they do something they can't skirt around, they self regulate! They lobby and have the laws and loop holes written in their favor. They can do this kind of crap with a $6,000 campaign contribution - that's nothing - they can cover that in a millisecond with the unbridled and unregulated usury they practice. YOUR GOVERNMENT IS IMPOTENT. INDUSTRY IS SELF REGULATED. The damn EPA (Nixon's clever little fuck you to the environmentalist movement) is a SHAM! Do you know where the EPA get's most of it's funding? LICENSING FEES - in other words, they get money for allowing polluters to pollute - that's their primary stream of income - THAT IS INDUSTRY SELF REGULATION in a round about shell-game kind of way. That kind of industry regulation is designed with CORRUPTION in mind. If your ever in doubt or dumbfounded by something a privateer does (and that's all these pharma, banking and energy giants are - a bunch of pirates) just dig around and see who gets paid. Don't rely on the media to illuminate this for you - because they are in on it. I predict that this government will do its best to figuratively bomb Anon and Wikileaks back to the stoneage - wipe them off the face of the earth - because there IS NO GREATER THREAT to the military industrial complex than the truth - because if it gets out to enough people and spreads (and it is spreading like wild fire right now) the serfs aren't going to stand for it - and believe me if enough serfs get fed up with being sodomized by a government that has betrayed them - there will be change, and it won't be peaceful. Right now, enough people are still dazzled and distracted by the fake ass wrestling match going on in D.C. - it's a soap opera folks - a distraction - the old divide and conquer bit, oh and it works so well to keep the serfs cheering from the sidelines, (are you rooting for FAUX NEWS OR MSNBC?) but doing little else of any real consequence - but more and more people are waking up to the fact that the game is rigged, that the ball isn't under any of the cups - it's not even on the table - it never was - it's been in the palm the whole time.

Stay tuned.

 

i'm interested. definately interested.

 

Or they could look at it as a free way to test the security of their online databases, to give them both peace of mind that information is truly safely locked up in a basement somewhere in a desert and if it's not, an opportunity to tighten up their firewalls so it doesn't happen in the future, with perhaps devastating consequences. It's amazing what effect a little piece of information in the wrong hands can have in today's world.

They could even look at is an opportunity to listen to the people and make some changes, but I doubt that will happen.

 

One of the meanings of "civil disobedience" is breaking the law. Not just randomly breaking the law but breaking laws that have no right to exist in the first place. Gandhi's making salt, which was illegal, as an example.

 

It's pretty hard to take down an organization that is not centrally located anywhere... it's the same with Al Qaeda.. only difference is when the middle east gets bombed it doesn't effect me.. when the government starts cracking down on internet usage or what you can do on the internet.. because a bunch of prepubescent teens dick around on the internet not really doing anything but messing up peoples lives.. that does effect me..

in the end.. whats the difference between these guys and Rupert Murdock?.. they both hack into peoples PRIVATE lives and reek havoc on innocent people.. "they took down bad corporations websites though".... yeah and released 100,000's emails and passwords of mostly innocent bystanders..

or even better yet.. whats the difference between Anonymous and the US military? Just because these people worked for Visa/Mastercard doesn't mean that they were the ones that pulled the plug on Wikileaks.. that's like going over to the middle east and just shooting people because there are terrorists in the middle east.. best just shoot whomever you see just in case.. sure one people are getting killed.. another peoples personal information is being released.. still in the end.. innocent lives are being fucked

an eye for an eye just leaves the world blind

 

Do you actually know anything about anonymous and what it does? The fact that you have to ask such ludicrous questions suggests to me that you really have no idea what you are talking about. Brush up.

It really sounds like you've been buying the bullshit.

 

That makes sense, at any other job your employer can check in on you any time they wish while you are working, and check on when you are working. Since they are "public servants" we should all be able to watch them. The internet makes it possible for there to be a channel for every single member of the house, senate and supreme court and the president.

 

What programs did they use to take down or track those people?

 

And strangely, they go the other direction - toward confidentiality and privacy, with the ability to spy on those they work for.

 

Yeah, it's like if you went to your boss and said "hey, stay out of my office, don't expect anything but an automated reply if you try to contact me, and also I'm going to screen your emails, later!"
