ANONYMOUS HACKERS: NON-VIOLENT STRIKING BACK THOUGH NON-HUMAN CASUALTIES ARE SEVERE

Keeping a relatively low profile to the world at large, though not to governments observers and whistle blowers, a group of hackers of all ages, walks of life, and nationalities, decided to become a leaderless group with a purpose to do what they consider the right thing to make the world a better place.   This is not a new group but has been forming for nearly eight years, I believe.

You can read what Wikipedia says by clicking here. The group has also used the name 4chan.  It makes clear that people realize that the government can not right all the ills of the world but that people can certainly have great impact towards that end.  It does not take tanks and guns and death.  Anonymous gave a press release to help define the group.  Click here for the video.

Today the BBC had an article on a supposed attack by Anonymous on the Westboro Baptist Church whose leaders have been forbidden to enter the UK.  It has been declared a hoax.  A second article on BBC about an attack on HBGary can be read in full here.  The group is on a mission to destroy the Church of Scientology and you can watch the video regarding that here.
 
This group grasps my interest atg this time when  the world is seeing so manyh people becoming activists and marching in protests.  Governments who shoot unarmed citizens spell out the clear reason that the march is taking place in the first place, the total disregard for human life by their aujtocratic leaders.

This group bears following closely.  There will be every effort to shut them down because we are deluded to think we have a right to free speech but it isn't working that way in America any more at all.  Nor is their privacy.  The right to not be searched without cause was also lost with out last Administration if not before.
