FREE-THINKERS, HYPERBOREANS, BUILDERS OF THE FUTURE,

We are ANONYMOUS. Because many of you seem to think the very fact of our existence is indeed rather confusing, we would like to take this opportunity to elucidate to you what it is ANONYMOUS is and does exactly - what it means we are ANONYMOUS, what it is we're aiming at, and what is our ontological status.

Now first and foremost, it is important to realize that ANONYMOUS - in fact - does not exist. It is just an idea - an internet meme - that can be appropriated by anyone, anytime to rally for a common cause that's in the benefit of humankind.

This means anyone can launch a new ideological message or campaign under the banner of ANONYMOUS. Anyone can take up a leading role in the spreading of the ANON-consciousness.

Whether or not these appropriations are legitimate is decided by the rest of the internet citizenry : If the majority of the public agrees with a proposed appropriation, then the public will act - If the majority of the public disagrees with a proposed appropriation, then the public will protest and label the message in question as illegitimate and thus not representative of the values of ANONYMOUS.

This makes ANONYMOUS the first truly democratic endeavour in the world. It is a bee-hive where the queen is missing - yet buzzing with activity in every possible form, direction, shape and colour one could possibly imagine.

This does not mean, however, that there can't be 'bad' actions presented as coming from ANONYMOUS. Just as with 'bad' speech though, we believe the solution to these issues is not less speech, but more speech - not less (or restrictive) action, but more (and constructive) action.

ANONYMOUS believes the only legitimate form of power is that power which rests on widespread public consent, and so there is not one person or group of people who can ever claim to be ANONYMOUS.

Anonymous is not a political current, nor is it based on a political current. Some may say that it's anarchism, liberalism, communism, libertarianism, etc. - others say it's nothing but a bunch of twelve-year olds from 4chan having fun on the internet. Anonymous is none of those - yet it encompasses elements of all these things and many, many more.

ANONYMOUS is the people and the people is ANONYMOUS. ANONYMOUS is anything and everything, anyone and everyone, anywhere and everywhere.

Moreover, anyone taking part in the actions of ANONYMOUS endeavours to defend an idea through anonymous collective action, and not to promote themselves as some kind of hero or saviour of the world. ANONYMOUS, therefore is not about personal achievement and recognition. It is about accomplishing goals for the betterment of humankind - together - as a species.

The Internet has changed the way we look at each other and the world. New technology has enabled people to communicate faster and more often. ANONYMOUS realizes that this freedom of information makes people more free to decide what they like or disagree with.

This freedom of information has forever changed how society perceives consensus, democracy, transparency, and freedom itself. Never before has society been able to have these debates twenty four hours a day, at all locations at the same time.

ANONYMOUS applauds these developments and will defend humanity against anyone willing to take this new-found freedom away. We do not forgive censorship, and we do not forget that knowledge is free. Moreover, we are legion, so we will not be denied.

The more they repress us, the more we will fight back. Because we are more than one. Because they can find and persecute one man or woman fighting for a cause - but not hundreds of thousands of people all across the globe, fighting for a more just and transparent society.

Now please take up your personal responsibility !

Show the world some loving and be ANONYMOUS !


WE ARE ANONYMOUS
- AND SO ARE YOU

KNOWLEDGE IS FREE !

  • Yes we the people are not for the new world order.

  • @abortedlord All that said, I do like where your frame of mind is and you seem like a good guy. Your idealistic view of Anon is just real skewed from where I'm sitting. It's a cool thing, and it can do some cool things; but the nature of the thing has its downsides, all I'm trying to say. ( and yes that was kindof a Star Wars reference up there. )

  • FFS, don't explain to random dipshits what Anonymous is. Secondly, it isn't just "for the benefit" of humankind. There's also just personal entertainment, and criminal activity as well. You say so yourself, ANYONE can appropriate and use it if they know how to do so- ergo, anything can happen. There is no ANON-consciousness and your Guy Fawkes mask isn't the fucking bat signal. And moreover, it is decidedly NOT democratic, there is no decision making process. You, individually, do, or do not.

  • @NotMuchNU Kudos to you if you will look more into it. No one generalized anything. We should stop looking at each other as different races, religions etc...We should look at it as one race "Humans". I have a lot of Jewish, Muslim, christian friends and I love them all. People mistake real Jews with Zionists fact is all Zionists are Jewish but not all Jewish are Zionists.keep looking with an open mind, find the facts yourself without taking sides.

  • @Omali, your comment interests me. I will look into that. All the same, to suggest all Jews are responsible, when less than 1% of Jews are, is unfair. Even Jews have their 99% vs 1%. So, do please target individuals in the 1% regardless of religion or cultural affiliation, but please don't generalize unfairly. Thank you.

  • 6. Kuhn, Loeb Bank of NY (Now Shearson American Express)

    7. Goldman, Sachs of NY

    8. National Bank of Commerce NY/Morgan Guaranty Trust (J. P. Morgan Bank - Equitable Life - Levi P. Morton are principal shareholders)

    9. Hanover Trust of NY (William and David Rockefeller & Chase National Bank NY are principal shareholders).

    Enough said.

  • @NotMuchNU

    The Federal Reserve Bank is a consortium of 9 Jewish-owned & associated banks with the Rothschilds at the head:

    1. Rothschild Banks of London and Berlin

    2. Lazard Brothers Banks of Paris

    3. Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy

    4. Warburg Bank of Hamburg and Amsterdam

    5. Lehman Brothers of NY

  • Beware the deliberate misdirection of the 1%. This video appears to be from Anonymous until the 7 minute mark, where images target Jews, once again using antisemitism to misdirect the 99%. For centuries, Jews have been convenient scapegoats used by the 1% to misdirect disgruntled 99%ers away from themselves. So few in number, the Jews couldn't defend themselves at all, until Israel came into being. Still so few, Jews and Israel are still scapegoated. To the 99%: Do NOT be misled, again!

  • @TorontoJames1 i plan on doing that. i am preparing my tools.

  • I think it was so cool they shut down 40 child pornsites if I know about hacking I would go after more way to go good job get some more please children should have the right to be just children
