Where has Anonymous been during all this NSA Prism stuff?

I have yet to find a good source for Anonymous videos. They just seem to randomly appear on the corners of the web with no real logic.

Are there any videos from them about PRISM/Edward Snowden etc?

Edit: found one - http://youtu.be/wms23g1O4Eo

i very much like this trend of thought.

good question.

I guess there's no central web site for Anonymous, which explains why I can't just go find their latest videos. Since its just a collective group of random people acting independently.

I follow one or two Anonymous "spokespeople" on twitter, other than that I wouldn't know how to keep up with them.

At one point Anon was all about lulz and trolling. I wouldn't doubt there is at least one section that's actually govt though.

Literally anyone can post a video as Anonymous. So yeah, duh.

Once I heard that they released personal information of clients on Playstation network I knew they were government agents. A real hacker would release information on the horrible employees of a company, not credit card information of the users of the service. Look at the intent. They are bullshit.

KD is a bit of a tool. He just understands how to engage people.

I don't want to say too much but Hastings death is related to his activities with anonymous. Also, they declared #OpNSA a few days ago.

They're not idle.

....really? Fascinating. I need to know more.

I'm an outsider, my observations are circumstantial. I was referring to an earlier ANON video that was specifically addresses to a small group of people in the know. I believe ANONDAD posted it. This was a month or so ago, maybe a bit longer. I'm pretty sure I've met ANONDAD but I'm keeping that to myself for privacy reasons.

How much of "Anonymous" activity is black propaganda from the feds?

All the feds care about doing is logging conversations and trying to bust hackers

Seems like "Anonymous" honeypots would be right up their alley then. IMO if they haven't yet posed as Anon then they are beyond incompetent.

Anonymous killed Hastings?

No. Anonymous asked him to leak something, they asked 4 people in the LA area to activate a plan that they had in place. I don't know what the leak contained but its all designed to precipitate civil uproar. Much of the leaks coming out right now are coordinated. They people responsible are playing with cards held very close to the chest, and everything is designed to trickle out and under contingency.

What other leaks besides Snowden are there?

Anon was infiltrated last year after they turned one of the top guys from LulzSec to snitch and gather evidence for them to bust others. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/lulzsec-snitch/

This.

Anon isn't a centrally-controlled group, but rather a collection of activists - "hacktivists - who meet in an on-line chat room to discuss activities. However, like darekkir shows above, the most famous hacktivist, lulzsec, was found out and blackmailed by the FBI into entrapping other members of Anon. Now, there is heavy FBI involvement in Anon...they aren't the beacon of hope you or I were looking for

Either sitting around in stunned silence, or nodding because they already knew all about it.

EVERYWHERE

I don't see them over here.

YOU'RE NOT LOOKING HARD ENOUGH.

I'm going as anonymous for halloween.

FOR HALLOWEEN, ANONYMOUS IS GOING AS YOU

Knowing what we know now, are you not concerned that your channel is monitored? Are you not concerned that you will be treated as a terrorist by the DHS?

Maybe they had to take new or extra precautions regarding the news of mass amounts of data storage. Don't forget they have to cover their butts too.

Or perhaps anonmyous is just a bunch of script kiddies. And #opnsa will perform a DDoS on nsa.gov for an hour and then that will be the end.

I really hope that Anonymous decides to show the American people what is really happening on a massive scale. Like taking over the Internet and television to broadcast the truth. That video gave me hope that We the People will prevail. I just hope that we aren't too far down the rabbit hole already.

they went back on 4chan

I've been wondering the same, myself. I'm leaning morw to the notion that Anonymous is the Government.... This was a prime opportunity to make their voices heard

They've been on /r/cringepics. Dint you see?

Shitting themselves. And giving their soiled underwear to their moms to clean.

What other leaks besides Snowden are there?
