An Open Letter to Anonymous And Everyone


Dear Friends,

Much publicity has been gained by using tradecraft against the largest, most visible targets. However, very little of strategic value has been accomplished. The huge beasts simply consider the attacks a minor annoyance, to be shaken off like a bad case of fleas. While publicity has its place, displays of power without effect contribute little, and can in fact dangerously expose methods, avenues, and persons. The war has to be taken to the ground. It has to become personal.
Many atrocities of the past were aided and abetted by people who were simply doing their jobs. “I never shot anyone. I just put them on the train!” Or, “I gassed nobody, I just drove the train to the camps!” As long as people are more afraid of not doing such jobs than doing them, injustices at scales grand and small will continue.
What needs to be done, is to drive fear into the hearts of the aiders and abettors. They have to fear doing their work in furtherance of state oppression. They have to know that when their part becomes known, when their offenses become public, they are in danger of having all manner of electronic hell rain down upon them. They need to know that their credit, their finances, their communications, their utilities, their records - any and all form of electronic information and interfaces - will no longer be under their control.
  1. No longer should a thief with a badge like Larry Bates be able to blatantly lie and steal without risking his own financial well-being
  2. No longer should a bully in a uniform like Jared Wheeler get away with kicking a 9-months pregnant woman in the abdomen so hard that the force of the kick caused the baby to defecate in the womb. Imagine, having a cop kick the shit out of you before you were even born
  3. No longer should punks like Lt. John A. Pike be able to torture people without feeling significant pain himself
  4. No longer should a gang of uniformed thugs be able to beat a man to death without consequence
  5. No longer should swat teams terrorize families and murder children without having a shitstorm of electronic terror come into their own lives
    No longer should private property be taken under threat of violence to enrich government or private companies
  6. No longer should politicians like Charles Schumer, Joseph Lieberman, John McCain - the list is endless, from the federal to the local level - be able chain us down further with ever more oppressive laws without experiencing the same sorts of fear, the same feelings of helplessness, that they impose upon us. And let us not forget the bureaucrats, the functionaries, the “just doing my job” folks who make all this oppression possible. Let us not forget the conductors or the drivers of the trains.
  7. No longer should the CEOs of the corporate oligarchy that is now in control of almost every aspect of our lives sleep comfortably while they destroy the middle class, costing people their jobs, their futures, and their homes. Why aren’t the CEO and BOD of JPMorganChase afraid of having their private electronic worlds electromagnetically shredded? Why don’t the officers of Monsanto fear retribution for their crimes? Or the officers of Raytheon, Halliburton, etc. etc. etc.?
The list is long, the time is short, and the revolution begins now.
