Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: We Are Legion: Anonymous' Presence In The U.S. Military Submitted by Mike Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog, Are we going to see more leaks? Yes. A lot [of Anonymous members] are mid- to high-rank NCOs. They are well-respected, have connections, and overly large security clearances. A lot of people who are part of the [Anonymous] culture are just dying at this point for something to come across their table that isnt already out there. It is so easy to leak information that if you want to, you can do it. - From Buzzfeeds recent article Anonymous Secret Presence In The U.S. Army It was only after watching the excellent documentary We Are Legion: The Story of Anonymous, that I really understood the history of the decentralized hacktivist collective. It was also where I first learned of Barrett Brown and his groundbreaking investigative journalism into the murky world of defense contractors such as Booz Allen Hamilton. Peoples opinions on Anonymous are varied and often confused, which makes sense considering it is more of a collection of ideas, rather than a top down organization with a specific and well defined platform. However, no matter what you think of it, there is no doubting the movements political influence. An influence that now extends deep into the bowels of the military-industrial complex. From Buzzfeed: An active-duty Army captain and member of Anonymous describes how the organization operates, his own involvement in the Arab Spring, how the crackdown on Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden has affected soldiers, and how more leaks are on the way. He has agreed to speak with BuzzFeed on the condition of anonymity. Are there a lot of members of Anonymous in the Army? There are more than you would think, more heavily in the techie world [of the military] especially at Fort Huachuca, where all the intel people are. A lot of them wanted to get the job [there] because they want to learn secret stuff and have a better personal understanding of how the world actually works. What are the most popular operations amongst soldiers? Anonymous is so distributed and leaderless that everyone has operations they love and hate. Operation Cartel, especially at Fort Bliss. Operation Dark Net was universally loved. And Operation Payback was pretty well received. Why do Anonymous members outside the military trust you? My credibility is incredibly suspect in the group. I admit I work for the feds, and I provide information on myself so that they are comfortable. There are people who I only know as screen names but I have put my career in their hands. Are the retaliations against Manning and Snowden discouraging Anonymous activity and the desire to leak information? A lot [of Anonymous members] have been in long enough and are jaded. They are watching as the government comes down harder and harder. There is a growing sense of disdain and hatred because we are complicit in it. There are some secrets that need to be secrets but the stuff [the military] keeps secret just to protect the bottom line you just feel like you are selling your soul every day. That is a lot of the motivation. Especially for people of the generation that believe that information should be free. Are we going to see more leaks? Yes. A lot [of Anonymous members] are mid- to high-rank NCOs. They are well-respected, have connections, and overly large security clearances. A lot of people who are part of the [Anonymous] culture are just dying at this point for something to come across their table that isnt already out there. It is so easy to leak information that if you want to, you can do it. When the people within your own military dont even trust you, you have a serious problem. Full article here.

anyone claiming a secret handshake or invoking the iconic memeitic term "over 9000" yeah this is fake. Propaganda to build up support for the idea that anonymous is "on the inside" so NSA listening is justified...it is BULLSHIT! The story is propaganda keep your eyes open and mind sharpened. ______________________________________ Suspect all media / resist bad propaganda/Learn NLP everyday everyway ;) (It's a more positive message)
Anonymous..internet goofballs afraid to do anything in real life. And Freshman Fed can move in on their organization and wreak havoc. One cannot trust internet 'friends'.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)
Anominous is an intel-psyop. Oh, there are likely low level people who are sincere, but the ones at the top "know the score" to one degree or another. Just as WeakeyLinks was a trap for unwary leakers. "Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide. ~ Gautama Siddhartha The Buddha Anonymous is just anyone who says they are. But Aaron Swartz was a member.
