The UN trial of 2001 about congo's war in 1998 showed that the conflict was a fight to
control Congo's coltan mines. Firms like Apple, Intel, IBM, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, etc... use great amounts of coltan in order to produce computers and cellular phones.We know that also in 1998 intel used lots of coltan,and that coltan comes from Congo. So we can say that intel contibutes indirectly to create the Congo's war in 1998.During Congo's coltan war 6 milion people lost their lives.We also know that,now,mininig companies that provide coltan to intel,are working in Congo.In 2012 a new civil war in growing up in Kivu.Kivu is Congo's region which has lots of coltan mines. The war of 2012 is by mr.Ntaganda and this army, formerly involved in 1998 war.So,now,there's war in Congo and namely Congo is not a war free area.Intel says that from 2013 its coltan will come from conflict-free areas.So we ask to Intel:
Where do you take your coltan from 1999 to 2012?
Why have not you developed a sustitute for coltan in this last 13 years?
Pristine ecosystems where destroyed in order to extract coltan and also lots of gorillas were killed. Coltan in digged whith bare hands in hinumane condition by cogolese people. Children usually dont'go school in order to dig the mineral.Coltan is also quite radioactive and miners has terrible healt problems.
For Intel, desploiting Congo's people and devasting Nature in cheeper than develop new war- free thecnologies.
We underline that also in 2011 Intel promise to stop immidiately to use Congo's minerals.This never occours.So in 2012 Intel promises another time,to produce conflict free processors from 2013.Also Traxys substain that from 8 maj 2012 its minerals would come from conflict free areas,but we shows that Traxys is laying.This is prooved by "salvakalumba"'s mail in Traxy's dumped db.So great firms are completely unaffordable, they are only interested in making money. We speak to every human being , if reading about the atrocities of intel Traxys...you feel pain in your heart, now you can contribute to sort out the truth.
OperationGreenRights offers you the compleate database of intelconsumerelectronics.com , please look inside and use the informations contained in order to protest freely and proof intel's responsability.
To improove the efficency of the protest we also offer the " 15 $Bilion$ CONTACT " table.
We found it under Data Base: IntelCEG Table: 15billionContacts.
It's a huge list of email contacts by important members of major companies. Many of them are directly or indirectly involved in trafficking coltan from Congo.
Contrary to multiple media reports, Anonymous did not attack Facebook, nor did Anonymous claim responsibility for attacking Facebook. Mainstream media simply got the story wrong.
As reported previously, Facebook has confirmed that the temporary outages experienced by Facebook users on May 31 - 2012 was not the result of a DDoS attack. For Anonymous hacktivists, a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is the preferred method for temporarily disabling websites.
Media outlets based their reports that Anonymous claimed responsibility for taking down Facebook on two distinct tweets from YourAnonNews: One tweet notes 'Looks like good old Facebook is having packet problems' followed by another tweet: 'Oh yeah … RIP Facebook a new sound of tango down...'
Yet celebrating Facebook’s misfortune is not the same as claiming responsibility for that misfortune. In an attempt to clarify the situation, Anonymous has issued a statement denying any responsibility for taking down Facebook, and reassuring the public that Anonymous has no interest in taking down Facebook. The following is an excerpt from that statement:
Anonymous Press Release - We Did NOT Attack Facebook
Friday - June 1, 2012 4:00 PM ET USA
This morning it was reported by many mainstream media outlets that Anonymous had attacked the servers of Facebook and caused interruptions in service in a number of countries. We have investigated these allegations and have found them utterly false and without basis.
As this false report began to go viral in the mainstream media this morning, key Anonymous organizers from all over the world and in many countries gathered in the IRC channels we use to communicate. A quick poll of everyone present, representing a very broad spectrum of the global collective - quickly showed that no one in the actual Anonymous knew anything about an attack on Facebook.
Most showed surprise because we all believed that we had successfully squashed the fail Op Facebook months ago, setting the record straight once and for all. So having determined that no one in Anonymous knew anything about an attack on Facebook, we then turned our attention to the facts. We began with the statement released by Facebook.
In that statement they indicated that they knew what the problem was, what it was that caused these service interruptions in various countries - and that it was an INTERNAL issue caused by a problem with some of their servers. Not only did Anonymous NOT attack Facebook, but there was no attack at all. Facebook IT's were just having a bad day.
So what happened here? How did mainstream media get it so completely wrong? A careful analysis of the events this morning tell the story. It's a story of lies, deceit - and mainstream media failing in it's most basic journalistic obligations. None of which surprises us much.
Finally let us, while we have your attention - address the Anonymous attitude towards Facebook. The fact is that Anonymous has a love-hate relationship with Facebook. While we enjoy the power of social networking media to do our work, bring positive change to the world and spread our message - we utterly despise the current management of Facebook and it's evil anti-privacy and anti-anonymity policies.
We are also not at all happy about their cooperation with law enforcement and intelligence agencies in tyrannical countries around the world, including the USA. Facebook has much to be ashamed of, and has earned the hatred of all human rights and information activists.
But that said, they ARE a personal and social media platform. One that has been used by these same activists to bring about much freedom and justice in this world. Anonymous has certain core principles, and one of those is that we NEVER attack the media - even media we strongly disagree with. There is NO Op Facebook, and there NEVER was. Anonymous did NOT attack Facebook, and we NEVER will.
SIGNED -- Anonymous
The fact that multiple mainstream media outlets would jump to the conclusion that Anonymous was responsible for bringing Facebook down speaks to the awesome power the international Internet hacktivist collective known as Anonymous currently wields in contemporary affairs.
Businesses have suggested it. The government has all but confirmed it. And according to one alleged member, they both might very well be right. A hacker tied to Anonymous says the loose-knit collective may be the most powerful organization on Earth.

“The entire world right now is run by information,” Chris Doyon tells Postmedia News from an undisclosed location in Canada. “Our entire world is being controlled and operated by tiny invisible 1s and 0s that are flashing through the air and flashing through the wires around us. So if that’s what controls our world, ask yourself who controls the 1s and the 0s”
“It’s the geeks and computer hackers of the world,” says Doyon.
In a world where the most critical of information isn’t locked up in vaults but instead encoded in easily obtainable binary, Doyon says that crackers like those in Anonymous are in possession of some of the most powerful knowledge known to man.
Doyon, who is reported to be in his late 40s, was charged last year for partaking in a Distributed Denial of Service attack on the website for the county of Santa Cruz, California. Since February, however, he has resided in Canada after using what he says is the new “underground railroad” to escape persecution for alleged computer crimes in the States.
Authorities say that, under the handle of Commander X, Doyon acted as a ringleader of sorts of the Anonymous collective, an operation described by its own participants as one that lacks leadership altogether.
“If you are asking me if he’s an activist and tried to change the world for better. Yes, he did. I don’t know if that makes him a member of Anonymous, but he is certainly an activist working on social change for the betterment of mankind,” his attorney, Jay Leiderman, told Cnet in September.
“Yes, I am immensely proud and humbled to my core to be a part of the movement known as Anonymous,” Doyon reportedly told reporters upon leaving a California courthouse last year.
Regardless of if he can actually be linked to the organization — and to what degree — Doyon says that the group is capable of more than one might imagine.
“Right now we have access to every classified database in the US government. It’s a matter of when we leak the contents of those databases, not if,” says Doyon.
It wasn’t computer nerds slaving over codes to help crack the system uncover that info either, says Doyon.
“You know how we got access?” asks Doyon. “We didn’t hack them. The access was given to us by the people who run the systems. The five-star general (and) the Secretary of Defense who sit in the cushy plush offices at the top of the Pentagon don’t run anything anymore. It’s the pimply-faced kid in the basement who controls the whole game, and Bradley Manning proved that. The fact he had the 250,000 cables that were released effectively cut the power of the US State Department in half. The Afghan war diaries and the Iran war diaries effectively cut the political clout of the US Department of Defense in half. All because of one guy who had enough balls to slip a CD in an envelope and mail it to somebody.”
“There’s a really good argument at this point that we might well be the most powerful organization on Earth. The entire world right now is run by information,” he adds.
Doyon landed in hot water after he allegedly launched a DDoS attack against authorities the Santa Cruz website after the county imposed a ban on outdoor camping. According to authorities, Doyon engaged in the assault in December 2010, nearly a year before the Occupy Wall Street movement encouraged protestors to camp outdoors in public spaces from coast to coast. In September 2011 he was formally charged in the DDoS attack and fled to Canada five months later. Had he stayed in the US, he would have been prohibited from using social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as chatroom clients that connect to IRC networks.
“They’ve taken away my freedom of speech,” he explained to the Santa Cruz Sentinel at the time.
Today Doyon says he is safe north of the border but is awaiting another move abroad. “[W]e’re in negotiation with several countries in Europe to try to get a permanent political asylum situation set up for myself as well as for any other Anons and information activists who might need it,” he tells Postmedia. “It’s too bad Canada will not find the political courage to protect information activists from America like they did in the ‘60s with the draft dodgers. That’s the reality of it, but they will probably not actively seek to track me down.”
It is a poll based website.And It has been designed to help the Anonymous community. It will help Anons to communicate and to shed light on the standpoints of Anonymous. If used right, it gives us a very powerful new asset.
The Anonymous collective has vowed to target British Government sites every week, bringing them offline by overloading them with traffic.
So-called “hacktivists” were able to launch their cyber attack on Saturday night despite announcing it days in advance, raising questions about the effectiveness of Whitehall internet security.
The British branch of Anonymous – a loose global collective of computer hackers who often target law-enforcement websites – first advertised “#OpTrialAtHome” last Monday.
The Anonymous hacking network uses as a logo the mask from the comic V For Vendetta
A poster featured the photos of three British citizens who have been sent to the US to face trial – Gary McKinnon, Richard O’Dwyer and Christopher Tappin – together with the slogan “Fight extradition”.
It included the address of the Home Office website and the direction to “charge ya lazers” on Saturday at 9pm GMT.
Supporters would understand this to be an order to join in a “distributed denial-of-service attack” on the website, in which thousands of computers are used to send a flood of requests to visit the victim’s homepage, causing its servers to buckle under the demand.
At the appointed hour, Anonymous Twitter feeds ordered followers to “fire your Laz0rs”, and soon reported “Tango Down” as the target was hit.
Screenshots showed that the Home Office website was inaccessible from 9pm and service was reportedly patchy until Sunday morning.
A Home Office spokesman said: “The Home Office website was the subject of on online protest last night.
“This is a public-facing website and no sensitive information is held on it. There is no indication that the site was hacked and other Home Office systems were not affected.
“Measures put in place to protect the website meant that members of the public were unable to access the site intermittently.
“We will continue to monitor the situation and take measures accordingly.”
The activists also brought down the Downing Street website at about 10.30pm, but a spokesman for the Prime Minister said it only lasted for a “couple of minutes” and there was no suggestion of it being hacked into. The Ministry of Justice denied the hackers’ claims that its website had also been taken offline.
Anonymous explained on Twitter: “It’s a digital protest which is different [from] hacking. UK want their government to listen. We can do it as long as it takes.
“Selling your citizens to foreigners is not acceptable! We are Anonymous, we do not forget, we do not forgive.”
Another message from the group said: “EXPECT a DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) every Saturday on the UK Government sites.”
The OS has been downloaded over 20,000 times in less than four days, and while a couple of the comments on SourceFourge indicate that it is fake, it still has a user rating of 62%, with 37 users giving it the thumbs up.
The same tweet has also been shared by other Anonymous-labeled accounts including AnonNewsSec and YourAnonNews:
Seeing lots of news about just-released purported "Anonymous OS." BE CAREFUL! Remember the Zeus Trojan incident w/Slowloris recently!
Whoever is behind the OS has shot back with a post, saying:
The #anonops on their twitter account say “That Anonymous-OS is wrapped in trojans.” Please people… in our world, in Linux and opensource world, there is not virus.
If any user believe that Anonymous-OS “is wrapped in trojans” or “backdoored OS by any Law enforcement Company or Hacker” please don’t download it!
But don’t mislead the world that Linux is dangerous and has trojans!
It’s also worth noting that in the original post announcing the OS, the well-known Anonymous slogan has seen a slight change (emphasis is our own):
We are Anonymous. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Don’t expect us, we are already here!
The departure from the typical Anonymous sign off could be an indication that there is definitely more here than meets the eye.
Either way, whether fake or not, as we advised earlier, it’s definitely not worth taking the risk of downloading the OS, no matter how curious you happen to be.
