Anonymous Important Update of 17th October, 2011



"We will not stand by and let our collective crumble because of lies and deceit."

Please spread relentlessly.


TRANSCRIPT
___________

Citizens of the Internet, We are Anonymous.

Over the last few days and weeks it has become clear that a dark presence is haunting our I R C servers. Such a presence seeks to divide brother from brother in the heat of battle by generating lies and by playing one Anon against the other. We will not proceed to indulge in rumours or conspiracy theories: for to do so would be to consent to the whims of an unnamed detractor. But it is the place to say, now, that Anonymous WILL NOT stand for what it perceives to be as an attack upon the collective. We are here today to clarify once and for all, the following:




1. In an effort to sow dissension among the ranks of anonymous, we have taken note of a series of tweets claiming that one of our members, known only as hypotenuse, is a double agent. These rumours are false. Unfortunately, this lie was apparently started by a tweeter claiming to be a representative of Anonymous: AnonyOps. We ask today that AnonyOps claim responsibility for this imputent lie by addressing his sincere apology in the I R C to all who have been affected including hypotenuse.

2. Another malignant rumour concerns the identity of TheAnonMessage. Word has been going around that the channel is run by a quote: COINTELPRO agent. This is false. It is but a strategy designed to both deface the identity of the channel and diminish its ability to provide sound operational information. Hypotenuse has also had to suffer the same ignominy. We resent this challenge and we refuse to grant credence to the charges set forth. No evidence exists that proves this evidently propagandistic line of argument. Everyone has the right to speak their free mind, but when it comes to calling TheAnonMessage or hypotenuse or anyone else a COINTELPRO agent without SOLID evidence---this is unacceptable. A mere paste bin is not evidence.

Anonymous is united as one, divided by zero. Although that is true, we are not super beiings. We are humans. We also make mistakes. But we will not stand by and let our collective crumble because of lies and deceit.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We do not Forget.
Expect us.

A Message to Members of the The Cassiopaean Experiment





Hello members of the Cassiopaean Experiment and the Quantum Future Project . We are Anonymous and we have been watching you.


We have not been watching long. Admittedly our attention has been drawn to more urgent issues. But the time may come that our attention will be more focused on you. It has not escaped us that your actions as a group bear disturbing parallels to those of the Church of Scientology. Your leader Laura Knight Jadzyck has created an organization where she has disturbing influence over vulnerable people who trust her to tell them what to do. More concerning, dissent and questioning appears to be silenced or vindictively punished as a Google search of Vincent Bridges will show.


These are not the actions of a healthy leader or a healthy group. These are the actions of a controlling abusive cult. A healthy group can tolerate not only disagreement, but also the fact that some members leave. A healthy leader does not encourage people to hound and harass former members. On the contrary a healthy leader tells their group they will not tolerate abusive actions in the name of the group. Laura instead approves of the harassment, misguidedly thinking she is protecting her lifestyle. In the short term, perhaps, but eventually it will become clear that this woman is not the savior of humanity and she has no special wisdom to impart. The Cassieopean Experiment and its various front groups, like all cults, exists not to help people as they say, but to pay for the founder's lifestyle.


It is not the beliefs that drive the Cassieopean Experiment that have us concerned, or the un orthodox means used to communicate with the supposed Cassiopeians. This falls under freedom of belief. The problem is when these beliefs are used as weapons to manipulate, frighten and intimidate members.

We have been down this road before. At first L.Ron Hubbard was a guy with strange ideas. No one saw the controlling toxic organization the Church of Scientology would become until too late. But the signs where there, the lies, the harassment, the suicides, fair game. Then Lisa McPherson died. That was the beginning of the end for Scientology.

Hopefully one day we will not read about the death of any Cassiopaean Experiment members. But we cannot afford to wait around and hope. If nothing history shows organizations intent on controlling members every aspect of life inevitably become more abusive in their hunger for more power. This org may become a danger to members, their families and the public.

The flags are already there:

A history of violence in the leader.
A history of criminal actions and fraud in the name of the org.
Labeling of critics as subhuman, or Organic Portals, what the Scientologists call suppressive persons.
A policy of Fair Game, though it is unknown at this time if this is official policy or the typical reaction of a dictator lashing out.

Now is the time to gather information about the org and its founder. Now is the time to educate the public. Now is the time to warn members. Now is the time to finish this fight...if we're lucky, before it can start. 

Knowledge is free.
We are anonymous.
We are legion.
We do not forgive abusive cults.
We do not forget the abused.
Expect us.

Anonymous calls for boycott of PayPal

Dear PayPal, its customers, and our friends around the globe,

This is an official communiqué from Anonymous and Lulz Security in the name of AntiSec.

In recent weeks, we've found ourselves outraged at the FBI's willingness to arrest and threaten those who are involved in ethical, modern cyber operations. Law enforcement continues to push its ridiculous rules upon us - Anonymous "suspects" may face a fine of up to 500,000 USD with the addition of 15 years' jailtime, all for taking part in a historical activist movement. Many of the already-apprehended Anons are being charged with taking part in DDoS attacks against corrupt and greedy organizations, such as PayPal.

What the FBI needs to learn is that there is a vast difference between adding one's voice to a chorus and digital sit-in with Low Orbit Ion Cannon, and controlling a large botnet of infected computers. And yet both of these are punishable with exactly the same fine and sentence.

In addition to this horrific law enforcement incompetence, PayPal continues to withhold funds from WikiLeaks, a beacon of truth in these dark times. By simply standing up for ourselves and uniting the people, PayPal still sees it fit to wash its hands of any blame, and instead encourages and assists law enforcement to hunt down participants in the AntiSec movement.

Quite simply, we, the people, are disgusted with these injustices. We will not sit down and let ourselves be trampled upon by any corporation or government. We are not scared of you, and that is something for you to be scared of. We are not the terrorists here: you are.

We encourage anyone using PayPal to immediately close their accounts and consider an alternative. The first step to being truly free is not putting one's trust into a company that freezes accounts when it feels like, or when it is pressured by the U.S. government. PayPal's willingness to fold to legislation should be proof enough that they don't deserve the customers they get. They do not deserve your business, and they do not deserve your respect.

Join us in our latest operation against PayPal - tweet pictures of your account closure, tell us on IRC, spread the word. Anonymous has become a powerful channel of information, and unlike the governments of the world, we are here to fight for you. Always.

Signed, your allies,
Lulz Security (unvanned)
Anonymous (unknown)
AntiSec (untouchable)

Operation Turkey: Anonymous fights Internet censorship with DDoS success




Today, Thursday, the international Internet hactivist collective known as Anonymous launched a successful DDoS attack against the Turkish government, taking down several official government websites, including http://tib.gov.tr/ and www.­sgk.­gov.­tr.

Anonymous is protesting Internet censorship in Turkey. The Turkish government plans to implement a filter on Internet browsing on Aug. 22 under the pretense of protecting the youth from "harmful elements on the web." Critics argue that the filter will lead to wide-spread censorship.

The current Anonymous cyber attacks against the Turkish government consist of DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks using a coordinated network of Low Orbit Ion Canons (LOICs). Such attacks are an orchestrated attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended user.
The following is an excerpt from a video statement released Monday by those claiming to represent the nebulous collective known as Anonymous:

To the citizens of Turkey.
We are Anonymous.

Over the last few years, we have witnessed the censorship taken by the Turkish government, such as blocking YouTube, Rapidshare, Fileserve and thousands of other websites. Most recently, the government banned access to Google services.

These acts of censorship are inexcusable. The internet is a platform for freedom, a place where anyone and everyone can come together, discuss topics, and share information, without the fear of government interference.

We, Anonymous, will not stand by and let this go unnoticed. We will fight with the Turkish people against their government's rain of censorship.

Citizens of Turkey, Anonymous now fights with you.

Turkish Government,

Expect us.


While the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) of Turkey claims the proposed system of Internet filters is harmless, and will simply offer users more options, Anonymous and other concerned observers fear a much more draconian effect.
Last May tens of thousands Turkish citizens protested in Istanbul against the proposed Internet censorship. Anonymous and other critics worry the filtering system would make it possible to keep records of people's Internet activity and may be used as a means to prevent or halt possible political protest or dissidence.

A Message To Viacom from Anonymous

undefined

Greetings, World. We are Anonymous.
For years we have had to endure Viacom's attempts to strip away the basic rights of the individual. We have been silenced persistently, and consequently the free flow of information has been limited.


Thousands of people have undergone the unfortunate experience of receiving falsely-claimed copyright infringements. For far too long have we shared an enraged commonality in helplessly witnessing totalitarian-like actions taking place. The logging of millions of IP addresses and personal information extends beyond the domain of acceptability. When one's capitalistic agenda interferes with, exploits, and profits through infringing upon an individual's freedom, we, Anonymous, endorse the people's rights and hereby demand a refund.


After Viacom lost their lawsuit against YouTube, they continued to exploit YouTube for money. Viacom's justification of "creator's rights" seems only to mean making money for the sake of money. Their hypocritical action of uploading fake videos to YouTube in order to furnish their own court case is transparent:


"For years, Viacom continuously and secretly uploaded its content to YouTube, even while publicly complaining about its presence there. It hired no fewer than 18 different marketing agencies to upload its content to the site. It deliberately 'roughed up' the videos to make them look stolen or leaked." ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8575666.stm )


"Viacom's request for all YouTube's records of log-in names and email and IP addresses was granted by a US district court in a preliminary hearing..." ( http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/broadcasting/news/a107404/youtube-user-logs-to-be-released-to-viacom.html )


Anonymous demands from Viacom a public press release to admit and apologize for the fraud and crimes that they have commited. Anonymous also demands that Viacom allows everyone thoughout the internet full rights to be able to express themselves. Lastly, we, the citizens of the world, demand that Viacom stops their attempts to gather personally identifying information such as IP's, which are of no relevance to them.


We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.

Anonymous launches Operation Blitzkrieg


Neo-Nazis,

Your incomprehensible actions, and your reluctance to accept the Freedom and Equality that every single human being possesses by right from birth, causes the birth to hatred and worldwide Racism.

After the first World War, your ideology plunged the world into chaos. You took over a plague, known as anti-Semitism, and made sure that racism was drilled into our collective consciousness, in order for humanity to accept this crude ideas as given, mostly without ever questioning them.

Your misdirected politics and your hate filled crusade against humanity have not only blurred your perception, but also affected countries worldwide.You have robbed irretrievable evidences of history as well as valuable art objects and architectural structures which belong to mankind, or were part of the cultural heritage of humanity. You were anxious to cause trouble between continents, which involved a collapse of political dialogues. The result, the cold war, lasted for years and its voice still echoes today. The holocaust against the Jewish, the sinti and the roma, your so called "euthanasia" imposed on disabled people, all of them are considered the cruel climax of the Second World War, to a cost of 6.000.000 innocent people's lifes.You have combined the ideals of industrialization with the abomination of mass murder, a circumstance that led to destruction of human life, in a scale never seen before.
All this are known fact,s and yet you are still following and spreading such ideals, in order to enhance the symbolism of this despicable hate further. You are still causing injuries and killing people, people who have that done nothing against you, and yet you do it partly out of disgust or simply for your own personal pleasure.

You intimidate people that go on the streets protest for their ideals, and attack your political opponents, thus you deny them the right of free speech. Yet you hypocriticaly demand this exact same right of free speech for yourself, and throw the dirt in the form of agitations and "art arround you ". You attack journalists and the media in general, you attack members of the opposing parties and equally you attack refugees and immigrants, who live and work in your "home country". This people simply had to leave their native countries because of suppression and misery.

This behaviour can no longer be tolerated. You have convicted yourself to many crimes against humanity.With this hypocritical attitude and your drive to become a mirror of your inspirational criminals, you have brought the attention of the collective known as Anonymous upon yourself.

In this case, this attention implies the taken of crucial actions against your actions.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We do not Forget.

Expect Us.

Anonymous takes down Sony Pictures US and UK sites !

Anonymous successfully taken down http://www.sonypictures.com/ and http://www.sonypictures.co.uk


The Sony PS3 console was "hacked" or more appropriately, jail broken, by iPhone hacker, Geohot. Anonymous managed to reverse engineer his own PlayStation 3 to run home brew applications on it.And then later released the method to the public, through his site, geohot.com



Sony hit Anonymous with a lawsuit and demanded social media sites, including YouTube to hand over IP addresses of people who visited Geohot's social pages/videos.Pay pal have granted access to Sony for them to view Geohot's Pay Pal account. The judge of the case has given permission to Sony to view the IP addresses of everyone who visited geohot.com Sony are also after another group of hackers for the same case.

The PS3 hack which GeoHot released can be compared to the "unlocking" of a phone. i.e. Once you purchase the phone, it's yours, you can do whatever it is you want with it.


Operation #Payback Next target #OpSony by #Anonymous

Dear ######## SONY,

Congratulations! You are now receiving the attention of Anonymous. Your recent legal actions against fellow internet citizens, GeoHot and Graf_Chokolo have been deemed an unforgivable offense against free speech and internet freedom, primary sources of free lulz (and you know how we feel about lulz.)

You have abused the judicial system in an attempt to censor information about how your products work. You have victimized your own customers merely for possessing and sharing information, and continue to target those who seek this information. In doing so you have violated the privacy of thousands of innocent people who only sought the free distribution of information. Your suppression of this information is motivated by corporate greed and the desire for complete control over the actions of individuals who purchase and use your products, at least when those actions threaten to undermine the corrupt stranglehold you seek to maintain over copywrong, oops, "copyright".

Your corrupt business practices are indicative of a corporate philosophy that would deny consumers the right to use products they have paid for, and rightfully own, in the manner of their choosing. Perhaps you should alert your customers to the fact that they are apparently only renting your products? In light of this assault on both rights and free expression, Anonymous, the notoriously handsome rulers of the internet, would like to inform you that you have only been "renting" your web domains. Having trodden upon Anonymous' rights, you must now be trodden on.

If you disagree with the disciplinary actions against your private parts domains, then we trust you can also understand our motivations for these actions. You own your domains. You paid for them with your own money. Now Anonymous is attacking your private property because we disagree with your actions. And that seems, dare we say it, "wrong." Sound familiar?

Let Anonymous teach you a few important lessons that your mother forgot:
1. Don't do it to someone else if you don't want it to be done to you.
2. Information is free.
3. We own this. Forever.

As for the "judges" and complicit legal entities who have enabled these cowards: You are no better than SONY itself in our eyes and remain guilty of undermining the well-being of the populace and subverting your judicial mandate.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We do not Forget.
Expect us.

A Message from Anonymous, Operation Leakspin




http://operationleakspin.org/

Hello,

This is a classified message from Anonymous. Mass-publication is strictly recommended.

After numerous attacks on the truth spilling platform of WikiLeaks (including the shut-down of its financing) we have already made it very clear that we will fight for Freedom of Speech and a free press.

But we have, at best, given them a black eye. The game has changed. When the game changes, so too must our strategies.

We are now moving forward to phase two of our war on disinformation-terror, introducing: Operation Leakspin.

Become part of the hive and join a fight we can only win with information.

Begin searching through WikiLeaks. Find only the best, least exposed leaks you can get your hands on. Post summaries of them, along with the complete source. Encourage the reader to read more. Make one-to-two-minute YouTube videos reading the leaks. Use misleading tags. Post snippets of the leaks everywhere on the internet.

Remember:

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
