9. "They fear exposure"

Exposure of the corruption, provided to the world's peoples on a large scale, will be their bane.

It is our greatest asset.

It is past time to demand a better future for the next generations.

[Matariki]

12. "low orbit ion canon"

the application that runs denial of service attacks.

[bear425]

14. Oh, thanks. I never heard that term before. I

thought anonymous just forgot the "g" in logic. lol

[Occulus]

25. I think it might be a reference to "The Empire Strikes Back".

The ion cannon.

Remember?

18. Arrgh, my eyes.

but the tune is catchy.

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. That's exactly what I thought when it popped up on stumbleupon.com LOL. n/t

[rucky]

16. NOW things are getting interesting!

As a webmaster, I can't bring myself to participate in a DDOS on anyone, but count me in for this.

[Matariki]

17. That's where I'm at.

While I can appreciate a temporary DDOS on visa and mastercard - I wouldn't participate. But this, this is excellent. And it's got me actually reading the wikileaks firsthand.

[myrna minx]

19. Ooooo! Rachel Ray and her potato wikileek soup recipe sounds like a yummy

project for this weekend.

[Matariki]

20. LOL. I just found a gem, btw

Trying to decide something creative to do with it.

Top Secret* reviews of Canadian Television! And how mean the shows are in depicting Americans - specifically CIA rendition flights and schemes to steal Canada's water!


Also this piece of pure gold:

Episode two expands on this theme, featuring the arrival of an arrogant, albeit stunningly attractive female DHS officer, sort of a cross between Salma Hayek and Cruella De Vil. The show portrays the DHS official bossing around her stereotypically more compassionate Canadian colleagues while uttering such classic lines as, "Who do you think provides the muscle to protect your fine ideals?" and "You would have killed him. Let the American justice system do it for you." Her fallback line in most situations is "it's a matter of national security."

*okay - really this is UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY - it just sounds funnier the other way ;-)

[rucky]

28. LOL

Do it!

[DearAbby]

22. Finally a good use for Facebook and twitter...

Links to Articles Few thousand people doing this....Could catch on.

[Poboy]

23. kick

[rucky]

26. KICK - the more I think about this, the more I love it

we are the ones we've been waiting for, we just needed the ammo and some 'tech support' from across the pond.

The MSM can't do a damn thing to stifle this, and the more governments try to stop it, the bigger it'll become.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

27. A previous article posted here said 'anonymous' is not associated with wikileaks

And Assange (I thought I read somewhere - sorry no link) said he didn't approve of the DDOS attacks?

I'm asking more than telling. Anyone have more info?

[Matariki]

29. No. No association at all

and Wikileaks put out a statement saying so and that they neither applaud or condemn Anon's actions.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

30. OK. Thanks. n/t

[AllyCat]

31. Thom Hartmann had Anonymous member on his show today.

Man said that they are not associated with Wikileaks, but they feel they have a right to do what they are doing and need to be defended from American attacks.

Not sure about Assange part.

[L. Coyote]

32. What's with the Moran spelling

Anon knows how to spell!
