Anonymous responds to Sandy Hook Shooting.

I say again...

I love these folks; they called out Los Zetas, they helped the Libyan and Egyptian rebels, and they spanked the Westboro Baptist Church. When you need allies, you could do a lot worse than a bunch of highly motivated, completely unintimidated, pissed off, young people who ain't afraid to give the Man the finger.....

 

[HorseSoldier]

This is quite an interesting turn of events.

Wow, if Anonymous is on our side, something big might happen. They have some serious power on the Internet and even in the real world. Some of their accomplishments are almost frightening.

we really dont have that much power

 

[InkEd]

Anonymous is made up of a WIDE range of hackers and people from various walks of life. It's not just kids at home playing on a MacBook. The tighter the government squeezes the citizens, the harder it becomes to constantly maintain that firm grip. Even if it is nothing more than anti-propaganda videos like the one in the link, it helps to spread the message that the people cannot trust others to do what is best for them.

 

[Seventhsword]

I think the video is spot on, but my lib friends say it's a fake and doesn't contain the correct markers. Whatever that means.

trace it....bounces off multiple servers off shore, certainly c/w their mo

Politics makes for strange bedfellows. Or words to that effect. We've all heard this expression and we need to be careful of whom we choose as bedfellows.

That cute puppy you choose to let sleep on your bed might give you a case of fleas. So choose whom you wish to join you on your RKBA team with care.

Very interesting.............

This is the 1st I have heard of these guys. These guys are legit?

Legit? That depends who you ask. Are they real? Yes.

Whatever their stance may be on other things, they are 100% spot on in this video. The RKBA message gets more powerful when it is broadcast by more sources. My teenage sons seem to feel that ANON is legit and respected by younger generations. Hard to see a downside to this.

Cuomo's latest move, Bloomberg's general inanity, and Obama/Biden's push reminds me of something Winston Churchill said --

You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police. On all sides they are guarded by masses of armed men, cannons, aeroplanes, fortifications, and the like - they boast and vaunt themselves before the world, yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts; words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home - all the more powerful because forbidden - terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic. They make frantic efforts to bar our thoughts and words; they are afraid of the workings of the human mind. Cannons, airplanes, they can manufacture in large quantities; but how are they to quell the natural promptings of human nature, which after all these centuries of trial and progress has inherited a whole armoury of potent and indestructible knowledge?

Admittedly, he was talking about Hitler, Mussolini, etc., but substitute "unlawful legislation" for the "cannons, airplanes" in the last sentence and the shoe seems to fit pretty well our present elected leaders . . .

 

[wannabeagunsmith]

Good for us, those guys are amazing.

 

[Trent]

Actually, it's not possible to get a good read on it.

Anonymous is REAL hard to read on issues, because it's composed of a bunch of people. Generally speaking, if the government tramples people, they're against that.

They post up things which are on both sides; an example from AnonNews:

You can't say they are either pro- or anti- gun, because they are neither, and they are both.

 

[lobo9er]

Amazing? Talented and if they have real pull I hope they are pro-gun. I don't really get their message when they hacked fox news though. Just watched that one on youtube.

This was the second time that I have seen a news article &video that they put out. As they are pro civil rights including them all! I am glad they are speaking out! It's nice to have allies!

 

[berettaprofessor]

The one consistent thing with Anonymous is that they are diehard libertarians.

[Last Knight]

Anonymous isn't really a group, you guys. >_< It's... an identity, more or less. It's a name you give when you want a little more prestige or power than your own. They're script kiddies and super hackers, 31337 and n00bs both. Anonymous being on your side - or against you - doesn't necessarily mean anything, because Anonymous isn't anything.

Lemme put it this way; just because Anonymous is on your side, doesn't mean Anonymous isn't against you.

Although one thing the posters above said is true, they do tend to err libertarian. Anonymous is the spirit of the internet.

I am glad to have more people who are obviously on the side of protecting the Constitutional rights of the American people, and who bring a useful skillset to the situation.

FWIW, many of the techie type people I have known have had their quirks, but they have been solid people and generally highly intelligent with sharp, analytical minds.
It doesn't surprise me that they can read the Bill of Rights and comprehend it, then look at what is going on now and feel the same apprehensions that we do.

 

[EBK]

Let's rephrase. You have a pen and paper, don't you?

A lot of good pen and paper is doing for our side........
