Anonymous’ final solution video
Posted by MK in Middle East, Technology, Video on February 10, 2012
I have written before in praise of, or at least amusement at, hacker group Anonymous, but then I saw this Haaretz article on a video they just posted about Israel. Now, I am well aware that Anonymous is not one entity and this could easily be some rogue idiot with nothing to do with the group, but it is still quite frightening.
The video and a transcription are below, remind you of anything? I’ve bolded the important parts.
(Thanks to Daphne Anson for saving me from having to transcribe this myself).
“To the government of the state of Israel.
We are Anonymous.
For too long we have tolerated your crimes against humanity and allowed your sins to go unpunished. Through the use of media deception and political bribery, you have amassed the sympathies of many.
You claim to be democratic, yet in reality this is far from the truth.
In fact, your only goal is to better the lives of a select few while carelessly trampling the liberties of the masses. We see through the propaganda that you circulate through the mainstream media and lobby through the political establishment. Your Zionist bigotry has displaced and killed a great many.
As the world weeps you laugh while planning your next attack. All of this is done under the veil of peace but so long as your regime exists peace shall be hindered.
You label all who refuse to comply with your superstitious demands as anti-semitic. And have taken steps to ensure a nuclear holocaust.
You are unworthy to exist in your current form and will therefore face the wrath of Anonymous. Your empire lacks legitimacy and because of this you must govern behind a curtain of deceit.
We will not allow you to attack a sovereign country based upon a campaign of lies.
Your grip over humanity will weaken and man will be closer to freedom.
But before this is accomplished the people of this world will rise against you and renounce you in all your worth. Our crusade against your reign of terror shall commence in three steps.
Step one will be initiated after the release of this video and will be comprised of systematically removing you from the internet.
Step two will be later disclosed and is already in initiation.
And as for step three, well think of this one as a present from Anonymous to you. We will not stop untill the police state becomes a free state.
We are Anonymous.
We are legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Israeli government, expect us.”
In case you didn’t get it, I took the liberty of using the same words, but switching pronouns and making it a call to action:
We see through the propaganda that they circulate through the mainstream media and lobby through the political establishment.
They are unworthy to exist in their current form and will therefore face our wrath.
Their empire lacks legitimacy and because of this they must govern behind a curtain of deceit. We will weaken their grip over humanity and man will be closer to freedom.
The people of this world will rise up against them and renounce them.
Step one will be initiated after the release of this video and will be comprised of systematically removing them from the country.
Step two will be later disclosed and is already in initiation.
And as for step three, well think of this one as a present from Anonymous to you. We will not stop until we achieve the final solution and there are none of them left on this Earth.
I am not generally one to invoke the Holocaust or to throw the “antisemitism” card around lightly, but seriously, it sounds like Anonymous have been taking tips from Joseph Goebbels. “The Jews rule through deceit and cunning, they have a secret grip over our society and the only way to end it is to be rid of them” – that is exactly the kind of thing that was being said in 1930s Berlin.
For shame Anonymous.
Anonymous and Lulzsec trolling the FBI
Posted by MK in Uncategorized on July 21, 2011
I just saw the following press statement, which I figured I’d repost in full, mostly because I find these guys pretty damn funny.
Also, while I agree that there has to be a line somewhere and that hacking could be very dangerous, these guys are doing some amazing work. They’re exposing how backwards and vulnerable some very serious authorities and companies are in terms of internet security, and they’re doing it in a way that is pretty funny rather than dangerous. With the same skills but more malice, they could have brought banks down, exposed Government secrets and caused recession and chaos.
Plus, how could anyone who made this be evil?
Anonymous & Lulz Security Statement – Pastebin.com.
Hello thar FBI and international law authorities,
We recently stumbled across the following article with amazement and a certain amount of amusement:
http://www.npr.org/2011/07/20/138555799/fbi-arrests-alleged-anonymous-hackers
The statements made by deputy assistant FBI director Steve Chabinsky in this article clearly seem to be directed at Anonymous and Lulz Security, and we are happy to provide you with a response.
You state:
“We want to send a message that chaos on the Internet is unacceptable, [even if] hackers can be believed to have social causes, it’s entirely unacceptable to break into websites and commit unlawful acts.”
Now let us be clear here, Mr. Chabinsky, while we understand that you and your colleagues may find breaking into websites unacceptable, let us tell you what WE find unacceptable:
* Governments lying to their citizens and inducing fear and terror to keep them in control by dismantling their freedom piece by piece.
* Corporations aiding and conspiring with said governments while taking advantage at the same time by collecting billions of funds for federal contracts we all know they can’t fulfil.
* Lobby conglomerates who only follow their agenda to push the profits higher, while at the same time being deeply involved in governments around the world with the only goal to infiltrate and corrupt them enough so the status quo will never change.
These governments and corporations are our enemy. And we will continue to fight them, with all methods we have at our disposal, and that certainly includes breaking into their websites and exposing their lies.
We are not scared any more. Your threats to arrest us are meaningless to us as you cannot arrest an idea. Any attempt to do so will make your citizens more angry until they will roar in one gigantic choir. It is our mission to help these people and there is nothing – absolutely nothing – you can possibly to do make us stop.
“The Internet has become so important to so many people that we have to ensure that the World Wide Web does not become the Wild Wild West.”
Let me ask you, good sir, when was the Internet not the Wild Wild West? Do you really believe you were in control of it at any point? You were not.
That does not mean that everyone behaves like an outlaw. You see, most people do not behave like bandits if they have no reason to. We become bandits on the Internet because you have forced our hand. The Anonymous bitchslap rings through your ears like hacktivism movements of the 90s. We’re back – and we’re not going anywhere. Expect us.
