For those who don't know: Anonymous ist die Gruppe die (unter anderem) hinter den Attacken auf Mastercard und Visa steckt. Da ich heute sicher nicht mehr meinen Riesenpost zur Wikileaks-Thematik fertig machen werde, hier vorab ein Brief von Anonymous (lokale Kopie als .txt):
A Letter from Anonymous
Our Message, Intentions, and Potential Targets
"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves."
- Abraham Lincoln
"He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither."
– Benjamin Franklin
Hello World. We are Anonymous. What you do or do not know about us is irrelevant. We have decided to write to you, the media, and all citizens of the free world at large to inform you of the message, our intentions, potential targets, and our ongoing peaceful campaign for freedom.
"True, This! —
Beneath the rule of men entirely great,
The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! —
But taking sorcery from the master-hand
To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike
The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —
States can be saved without it!"
- The Cardinal
Richelieu; Or the Conspiracy by: Edward Bulwer-Lytton
The message is simple: Freedom of Speech. Anonymous is peacefully campaigning for Freedom of Speech everywhere in all forms. Freedom of Speech for: The Internet, for journalism and journalists, and citizens of the world at large. Regardless of what you think or have to say; Anonymous is campaigning for you.
The recent news of our campaigns has been, at best, misinformed. Anonymous is not always the same group of people. The Constitution of the United States is said to be a living document, because it can be edited, amended; changed at the will of the people to suit the peoples' needs. In that same vein, Anonymous is a living idea. Anonymous is an idea that can be edited, updated, remanded, changed on a whim. We are living consciousness.
