Anonymous: Please Help !!!! (Viewer discretion is advised)


Anonymous will not stand by idly while states like Syria degrade the common humanity of their citizens through the menace of violence and repression. We will actively challenge governments that engage in censorship and that wage bloody wars on their own people. We will strike in defense of the Syrian people. We will ensure that the world knows of your brutality and of the suffering of your people. Your blatant lies will be laid bare for the entire world to see. we will do everything we can to assist the Syrian people until you are toppled from power.

Today, Syrians struggle for the very soul of their country. As long as the state uses oppressive tactics to restrict its people, we will not rest. The road to Damascus has been taken and there is no turning back now.

Come for the revolution, stay for the lulz,

We Are Anonymous.
We are RevoluSec
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect Revolution.

I'm sure there are multiple "anonymous" groups. Obviously, it is illegal activity, though some may condone it.

Some would argue that the answer to bad speech is more speech, not censorship.

You stated the obvious. Yes Annon is made by multiple individuals. Some are black hats, others are not. The common thread is...a drive for social and economic justice.

They are part of this reaction to globalization.



And no, nobdy, not even Scotland Yard or the FBI, (they had a super duper convo intercepted) know how many are part of this movement. Yup, some arrests have been made, but admittedly precious few.

My speculation is that more than a few anon are white hats by day. I got no other explanation as to how good they have been at covering their tracks.

Ah Gibson wrote prophecy. (On a typewriter, a manual one, no less)
