Anonymous documentary ‘We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists’ premieres at SXSW Mar 12, 2012 Last night, “We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists,” a documentary covering the hacking collective Anonymous, premiered at SXSW. I’ve spent a great deal of my time here at Death and Taxes attempting to examine the symbolic context by which Anonymous operates on political, social and economic levels. While I freely acknowledge that the hacking of credit cards is a criminal act, I am quite convinced that DDoS attacks are a legitimate form of digital protest. Additionally, I believe that in a country and a world in which power structures operate behind the veil of state secrecy and national security, that if information—whether it reveals bankrupt ethics, corruption, or otherwise bad behavior—finds its way into the hands of WikiLeaks or other publishers by way of hacking, then so be it. If governments were more open with their people and didn’t act irresponsibly, or weren’t so easily and efficiently corrupted by business interests, then the hacking would not be necessary.
Les Anonymous peuvent-ils manifester masqués ? Ils appellent à la manifestation aujourd’hui 28 janvier 2012. Les Anonymous se présentent comme des « hacktivistes » et ambitionnent de protéger l’Internet de toute censure, qu’elle soit politique ou commerciale. Mais là, ils veulent lever la tête de leur écran pour descendre dans la rue. Ils peuvent le faire, mais à condition de tomber le masque. En effet, à la suite des manifestations de Strasbourg, en avril 2009, en marge du sommet de l’OTAN, le gouvernement a décidé de poursuivre les manifestants masqués. Pas de loi, mais un décret en date du 19 juin 2009, plaisamment baptisé « décret anti-cagoules ». Mais le texte est ambigu. S’emmitoufler pour lutter contre le froid, se protéger des gaz lacrymogènes, etc. peut très bien justifier qu’on dissimule son visage. La question se pose de la même manière pour les Anonymous. Intellectuellement, on peut se poser la question, mais sur le terrain, ce sont les responsables du maintien de l’ordre qui prendront la décision.
Trippy Pencil Drawing Published on October 24th, 2011 [vimeo] Drawing is art of depicting what we see or what we think or what our intension.

"Bibi" is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Gary Sick: If Israel bombed Iran nuclear sites, most of the world would believe U.S. was involvedSick: Europe would support a U.N. resolution condemning it and likely end Iran sanctionsIran would be justified in having nukes, he says; U.S. would likely enter another Mideast warFragile world economies would collapse under skyrocketing oil and gas prices, he writes Editor's note: Gary Sick served on the National Security Council staff under Presidents Ford, Carter and Reagan, and was the principal White House aide for Iran during the Iranian Revolution and the hostage crisis. (CNN) -- Imagine that you wake up tomorrow morning and discover that during the night. Apart from the sensational headlines and breathless reports, the initial change might not be very significant. On that first morning, the U.N. What would Iran do? But that could be just the beginning.
Am I Anonymous? | Limn Issue Number Two: Crowds and Clouds Learning how Anonymous works means learning to be one. Gabriella Coleman narrates her experience of being in between worlds. A1: everyone trusts you, so you’re doing something rightA1: someone irl did say to me onceA1: ‘oh you’re talking to that biella again’A1: ‘shes SO a fed’ It was December 2010, and my plans were simple: finish my book manuscript on the politics of free and open-source software hacking and spend time with my family on an island off the coast of Washington State. Although by winter of 2008, individuals deployed various political demonstrations and activities under the banner of Anonymous (prior to this, the name was used almost exclusively to stage Internet pranks), it only fully entered public consciousness in December 2010. A1: Can anyone in here confirm biella? It was a make-or-break moment. S: Three officers were also taken to hospital with serious injuries, according to police. A8: about what?
Le siège d'HADOPI à Paris taggué par Anonymous. OccupyME TV Is Anonymous Anarchy? For many, the political movement known as Anonymous conjures one thing and one thing alone: anarchy. I have now seen this association made so many times, I thought it might be a good idea to lay out in some detail where the connections between Anonymous and anarchism might lie, dispel a few myths, and ask some questions for further exploration. From the outset it is key to note that anarchism can mean quite distinct things so let me provide three relatively narrow definitions, which don’t fully exhaust its meaning and expression. 1. “However you choose to trace their origins, these new tactics are perfectly in accord with the general anarchistic inspiration of the movement, which is less about seizing state power than about exposing, delegitimizing and dismantling mechanisms of rule while winning ever-larger spaces of autonomy from it. 2. 3. Contemporary Political Anarchism The answer, in its most basic form, I wager is ‘no’ but of course it is always more complicated than this.
Anonymous : un art martial ? (Parce que tout le monde donne son avis, que les analyses les plus pitoyables se confondent avec des prises de position plus ou moins éclairées, il n’y a pas de raison qu’un énième avis à propos d’Anonymous ne pointe son nez sur Reflets. Assumé, revendiqué, longuement réfléchi : parce que l’auteur se souvient, il y a bien longtemps, à des actions similaires, avant le passage de l’an 2000, et qu’à l’époque, on n’avait pas de vidéos youtube…) Pourquoi un art martial ? Cela aurait pu être « une philosophie », c’est vrai. Mais dans art martial il y a martial. Une idée, des modes de réponses Parce qu’il faut bien remettre les choses là où elles sont : que l’on apprécie ou pas les dénis de service distribués, ce ne sont au final qu’un mode de réponse comme n’importe quel autre. Qui fait des morts, qui ruine des individus ? Face à ce constat, que peuvent faire les citoyens des pays concernés ? Liberté, égalité, fraternité
‘Make Them Pay for Their Crimes’: Hacker Group Anonymous Issues Chilling Warning to Israel Conference The hacker collective known as Anonymous on Sunday took credit for crashing the website of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the same day it released a chilling video declaring the pro-Israel group its “enemy.” The AIPAC website went down about an hour before President Barack Obama took the stage at organization’s annual policy conference in Washington, D.C., around the same time the group’s Twitter account said in a post: “Gosh, the AIPAC website sure looks TANGO DOWN to us. Wonder why?” Several hours later, Anonymous released a video calling for “an occupation of AIPAC and the destruction of their websites.” Watch below (transcript follows): Citizens of the World. About 200 protesters were on hand Sunday to protest the conference at the Washington Convention Center, some of them identifying themselves as so-called “Occupy AIPAC” members, the Daily Caller reported. Work by Holocaust-denying cartoonist Carlos Latuff featured on the AIPAC website has since been removed.
