Anonymous' Operation Empire State Rebellion Releases "Civil Disobedience" Video #2
Two weeks ago the Anonymous hacker collective released a video indicating it was moving to a peaceful form of civil disobedience, until such time as the Fed is abolished, to be preceded by the "sign of good faith" that is Bernanke's stepping down. Needless to say, so far Bernanke has not quit. So today Anonymous' OpESR has released a second video which unlike the previous one is more or less a collage of hacker-friendly video clips. Hopefully there is some more to this latest form of anonymous activism than the clever use of iMovie...

As another note regarding Op Blackjack, The original event described in Op Blackjack was supposed to happen on June 20, or 21st. This even was supposed to be an nuclear attack on several cities in North America. Op ESR SixFourteen could imply something happening on June 14. Similar MO as Op Blackjack. The form isdifferent, video as opposed to a cartoon. It is believed the cartoon was to smoke out dissenters in forums. This time, it's likely to smoke out dissenters on You Tube. This is a supposition of course; we will have to wait and see what occurs on June, 14, 2011.
Starve the beast!

If a couple of people with nothing better to do, or just shit stirrers in general, show up on Monday the 28th, at 600 Atlantic Ave. here in Boston, it will be a joke (on you).
There are still way too many of us, in light of everything going wrong, that have way too much to lose (families to support). I'll float over there during lunch, if it's a no show, I'll turn and head to the North End for some good eats.
Here's a couple of terms that give TPTB a moment of pause:
Leaderless Resistance
Lone Wolf
Very disappointing...deeds not collages!
Not so much a collage... more like a montage...
Civilly disobedient montages. Yeah, that'll spark the flame. This is going to end up on Tosh.0
well.... I believe it when I see Joe Sixpack grasp the idea of "Civil Disobedience".
until then, more fights in junk food "restaurants" (we call em "snack bars") is all you can expect.
Remaining anonymous does have certain advantages it also has some disadvantages. I agree that the banks are in effect an organized crime syndicate with backing from the U.S. government and that there should be a great many bankers and politicians in jail for what amounts to the greatest heist in history. But I for one, a regular guy trying to raise a family can't get behind something like this not knowing to whom I am lending my support. How am I to know that I am not supporting something that could have just as much criminal intent at heart. Or that this is simply hyping David Degraw's website which to me looks like a leftist organization. The other problem I have is that the people that are in full support of taking down the banks and the ruling elite are very short on details for what plan they have once the reigns of power are taken. Don't get me wrong, this country is in serious need of real changes but the general public is not likely to get behind a movement such as this without clear policy objectives besides the war cry against the evil banks.
+1 I cannot support them either. They say a lot of good things followed by a lot of progressive/leftist things. I'll stick with supporting Ron Paul, whom I know stands for individual liberty not transforming America into some progressive hell.
After reading the last post on Anonymous, it appears to me that they are not really for capitalism, free markets, or the American dream (i.e. individual liberty/ personal responsibility). They say they want Americans to rise up and get our rights back and free ourselves from the system that has enslaved us, but then they have a load of crap in their call to action about everyone having rights to healthcare, cheaper education, etc. Healthcare and education are not, nor can they be, rights.
Healthcare and education are services. You cannot have a right to the services of others -- that is slavery. If you say we'll pay the health providers and teachers, where do you get the money? You get it by taking it from your fellow man against his will, thus enslaving him.
The answer is the free market. Freedom has no safety nets. Everyone provides for themselves and those providing services compete for their business. Private charity would step in to help those who are truly unable to provide for themselves.
They also have crap about strenghtening environmental laws (cap and trade?), forcing corporations to apply local labor laws to their global operations (minimum wages/unions?), and "fair" taxes for all (what is their definition of fair?) These things make me question their motives.
There is just no pleasing libertarians.
(Kidding, of course. SPX holding over 1310 and VIX back to the lows. It's like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Oman, Japan, Portugal, Ireland, US never happened. Amazing... utterly amazing.)
You cannot make this up! A creature of science fiction that Jekyll monster!
First you would have to take away their stock options before techno-geeks would start to dissent But in any case they would post it first on Facebook. Even the founder of Facebook makes stupid faces when asked why would anyone post all their private info on Facebook( so it could conveniently exploited for financial and political gain.)
Regardless this medium is dominated by conservative hacks: IT types and computer geeks to serve any useful purpose in disseminating information. For every blog that puts forward the truth, there are ten that serve as useful idiots of TPTB. Just take a look at Karl Denninger blog. It carries more disinformation than Bernanke's TV appearances
-Mark Zuckerman
-Hugh Hefner
-Donald Trump at CPAC 2011
-Larry Kudlow, CNBC
-anon.
The choice is yours as to which one of these is the biggest failure in B.A. communications.
Anonymous Operation: change you can believe in.
Yes, as in Obama 2.0 -- healthcare is a right, cheap education is a right, force corporations to unionize their global operations, cap and trade, etc.
No thanks!
Dramatic. I was hoping they would list the Massive Mega TARP Bonuses Wall Street took...maybe next time.

Sorry for the tripple post - server error.
Northeaster,
I work nearby you...I'll be checking out the goings on at 600 Atlantic as well. I met a couple nice rothbardians at a tea party thing a couple years ago...well worth it...even if the bad guys are attempting to infiltrate.
Police protection - AND - military protection - of your assets -
are services - buy your own Laura B - like any TRUE Libertarian.
The official response: The role of government is to enforce contracts and provide basic policing to protect property rights and the right to life (so murder, theft and fraud are the only real crimes). Eliminate the war on drugs and I'll be buying far less police protection. As for millitary protection, I didn't ask to buy what we have now. As soon as some foreign power actually threatens our borders, I'll happily defend this country myself.
There's only one thing wrong with this Libertarian BS that's going on. Instead of going after the real problem, the TBTF banks and corporations, they are siding with the TBTF banks and corporations and going after jobs. Apparently they can't fathom the idea of a downward spiral. The average American needs a job, how you solve the problem of not enough jobs by destroying jobs makes no more sense to me than how creating more debt solves the problem of too much debt. I'm sure I'm just dense, there has to be something in those two ideas that I'm just not smart enough to grasp.
What really is frightening about the tea baggers, Beck heads, etc. is things like this story. A week or two ago a guy gave a speech basically laying out an outline about what he thought might work in the fight against Wall Street. He talked about things like people not paying their mortgage payments as a protest, what would stop the rich from getting richer, what would bring down the stock market, folks marching on Wall Street, things like that. Blodget put a recording of this speech and the transcript of it up on his site two days ago. Yesterday a congressman named Chaffetz sent a letter to Attorney General Holder demanding that the AG use the FBI to investigate this guy for terrorism. Talk about brown shirt crap. Be careful what you say and what you sign up for. You are being watched and aren't as anonymous as you might think.
Libertarians not going after TBTF banks and corporations? REALLY???? The Ron Paul supporters were the ones bombarding Congress with phone calls against the bailouts and the stimulus packages. We were out protesting against the bailouts for Bear Stearns and first housing bailout and the takeover of Fannie and Freddie. We complained about the government taking over the auto companies. The Tea Partiers (nice of you to smear them) are the ones who threw the CONgressmen who voted for the unconstitutional bailouts/ healthcare laws out of office. They are the ones who support the Audit the Fed and End the Fed bill and opposed the Frank/Dodd Financial Reform bill. Rand Paul and Michele Bachmann are the only ones to propose serious budget cuts ($500 billion).
If you want more employment we need more freedom. There are too many barriers to entry that have been raised in response to the lobbying of special interest groups in the name of "public safety", etc. John Stossel did a whole show on this. One example was a woman who had been braiding hair her whole life. She started offering it to her customers, but the local goverment said she couldn't do it because she didn't have the proper license -- so she had to spend $1000's of dollars and do an apprenticeship at a salon that did not even do braiding in order to get the license. We don't need these stupid laws. If she doesn't do a good job, she won't have any customers. The free market will take care of it. The only purpose for these laws is to put up barriers to entry to keep comeptition down and prices high. Without these laws, people could just start businesses. If they do a good job, they'll earn a good reputation and succeed. If they do a poor job, they'll earn a bad reputation and go out of business.
As far as people not paying their mortgages -- those are contracts that they entered and they can pay or give back the houses. The banks should take the losses on the bad loans and the deadbeat borrowers who aren't paying should lose "their" houses. The taxpayers and future generations who were not party to these contracts should not have to pay. It is unconstitutional to use public (taxpayer) money to pay off private (mortgage) debts. We need to enforce the laws that are already on the books. We need to make sure that justice is blind and that those who committed fraud (whether banks or borrowers) are prosecuted. We need, as Denninger would say, to stop the looting and start prosecuting.
Maybe you are just dense.
To Eureka -- Military protection is one of the limited powers given by the people to the federal government in the Constitution. I'll gladly pay taxes for it as long as the government stays within the confines of the Constitution -- i.e. no foreign aid and no unconstitutional wars.
As to police protection -- see X. Kurt OSis's reponse as it is very well said.
In case you forgot or didn't know -- the Preamble to the Constitution (setting forth its purpose) goes like this ... We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. (notice Justice (police/judiciary) and common defense are mentioned)
Military and police protection actually are for the general welfare (i.e. the police and military are to protect ALL of the people's rights against crime), whereas a public education system infringes on my rights. I have to pay for public education whether I use it or not (e.g. have no children or send my kids to private school). Same goes for a public healthcare system -- it is a Ponzi scheme like Social Security.
Psyop.
Hey Anonymous, if you want to remain anonymous, just get on with the job and stop the horseshit. You are giving me the impression that your anger is requiring a realm of fantasy to exist in your hearts. That’s alarming, and a little bit disappointing. How long did it take you to make this montage? Shouldn’t you be using the time to shut down NYSE for lunch or something? So far, you're all cloak and no dagger! Show us your big hairy balls.
I concur. Shit or get off the pot.
I am Chumbawamba.
I'm rooting for them. But I feel it's the equivalent to rooting for the little league team. It seems a rather juvenile attempt at attention seeking/approval.
I, also, smell a federal rat in the works skulking about every mention to see which hotheads merit additional attention. (And my tinfoil hat is tingly!)
This reminded me of a video you would see to start a U2 concert on something....the chords to End Of The World start as the video ends..
DVD coming to a website near you...CHF only
To LauraB - your points are correct, however, please observe:
that despite our constitution, 80% of U.S. citizens have precisely
ZERO net assets to hedge OR protect - and yet -
precisely the slaving 80% pay the cost of protecting the top 1%'s
assets BY tax funding the bloated collectivist employment program
called U.S. Armed Forces - DESPITE the fact that the biggest threat
to the U.S. is internal - The Fed & TBTF banks... now HOW, does
the constitutionally granted powers of government PROTECT
"We The People" against that?
The constitution is inadequate. Present your amendments.
As I said earlier, the bailouts were unconstitutional. Nowhere in the Constitution does it permit the government to use public (taxpayer) money to bailout the banks (private debts from bad loans) or corporations (again private debts). The Fed is also unconstitutional as only the Congress has the authority to coin money (non-delegable). The wars since WWII also have not been constitutional as they were not declared by Congress. Thus, the Constitution is sufficient. No amendments needed. We just need to enforce it.
We need to elect people who will challenge unconstitutional laws in the Supreme Court and who will abide by their oaths to uphold the Constitution -- that is what the Ron Paul Revolution / Tea Party is all about. We need to get rid of the false Progressive notion that the Constitution is a "living document" that can be adapted. To say that the Constitution is a "living document" means that they can give it any meaning that they want, which in effect means it has no meaning at all. The Constitution is not a "living document". The meaning of the Constitution is contained within the four walls of the document. If anyone wants to change it, then they'll have to present their case to the people and do it through the mandated process.
Bastiat described the government that we have now in The Law as everyone plunders everyone. We need to get back to the original idea of the Constitution which protected our property rights. Under such a system, no one plunders anyone.
The Fed is also unconstitutional as only the Congress has the authority to coin money...
The fed and the irs share the same birthday. The sooner this fact is digested and understood, the sooner the US citizen may wake from his / her sleep. The dream may be over, but we're still fast asleep.
The irs was / is necessary as the second head on this siamese twin due to the upside down nature of servant / master, payer / payee. Prior to the fed, "US citizen" and "taxpayer" were separate and distinct terms. It is only since their simultaneous birth the terms have become virtually synonymous.
This explains why ending the fed will never occur. As long as US citizens believe individual wage earners have the duty to service debt originating from selling interest bearing sovereign paper to a foreign entity for franchised "legal tender" backed by vapor the fed's position of power is assured.
Taxes should be paid to the treasury of the US by foreign entities the government grants the privilege to conduct commerce with the sovereign citizenry and not the citizens themselves. Especially not at the point of earning. This set up is preposterous. imo.

U.S. "Foreign Aid" is largely contionalle 'earmarked' for the specific purpose of the recipient buying U.S. manufactured weapons systems -
I.E. U.S. "Foreign Aid" is stealth socialism - taxpayer sponsoring of U.S.-multi-national corporations - who without this socialist aid would not exist.
So who are the REAL "deadbeats":
Thieving, wellfare receiving U.S. weapons manufacturers - or -
Hardworking people who get laid of by outsourcing corporations
and thus cannot pay their mortgages?
As I stated earlier, I am against ALL foreign aid. Our founders said that we should have commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none. It is unconstitutional for our government to be sending U.S. taxpayer money to foreign nations, just as it is unconstitutional for us to involve ourselves in their conflicts and governmental affairs. Not only is it unconstitutional, but it is especially unconscionable at the present time when our nation is broke and borrowing the money that it is giving out in "aid" to other countries and leaving the taxpayers and future generations with the debt and interest to pay. Any donations to humanitarian causes should be made directly by the person who earns the money, not by government. Charity comes from the heart, not through government force.
Need this editorial pov from a filmmaker w/ the skill of Oliver Stone. Too bad Stone missed w/ his sequel to "Wall St."
