important background to this morning's very important blog posting: http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/the-first-social-cyberwar-as-the-class-warfare... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Amaia Arcos <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 11:59 PM Subject: possible post?? To: Michel Bauwens <[email protected]> Lulzsec and Anonymous have joined forces and pledged to attack those who attack internet freedom, ie govs, etc. They have also invited any colour hat hacker to join forces. They are also widely circulating this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgj0ge6Iwu0 I have no idea if the guy is genuine but he sounds convincing and the video is being taken seriously, the motivation it generates is what matters, no? He does talk about horizontal bottom up as well. Let me know, I could post the statement by Lulzsec (yesterday), the arrest of some Lulzsec kid in England (today) and add this video as something these hackers are watching. Lulzsec has almost 1/4 of a million followers on Twitter https://twitter.com/LulzSec *Salutations Lulz Lizards,** * *As we're aware, the government and whitehat security terrorists across the world continue to dominate and control our Internet ocean. Sitting pretty on cargo bays full of corrupt booty, they think it's acceptable to condition and enslave all vessels in sight. Our Lulz Lizard battle fleet is now declaring immediate and unremitting war on the freedom-snatching moderators of 2011.** * *Welcome to Operation Anti-Security (#AntiSec) - we encourage any vessel, large or small, to open fire on any government or agency that crosses their path. We fully endorse the flaunting of the word "AntiSec" on any government website defacement or physical graffiti art. We encourage you to spread the word of AntiSec far and wide, for it will be remembered. To increase efforts, we are now teaming up with the Anonymous collective and all affiliated battleships.** * *Whether you're sailing with us or against us, whether you hold past grudges or a burning desire to sink our lone ship, we invite you to join the rebellion. Together we can defend ourselves so that our privacy is not overrun by profiteering gluttons. Your hat can be white, gray or black, your skin and race are not important. If you're aware of the corruption, expose it now, in the name of Anti-Security.** * *Top priority is to steal and leak any classified government information, including email spools and documentation. Prime targets are banks and other high-ranking establishments. If they try to censor our progress, we will obliterate the censor with cannonfire anointed with lizard blood.* ** *It's now or never. Come aboard, we're expecting you...** * *History begins today.* ** *Lulz Security,* *http://LulzSecurity.com/* -- “We would think and live better and be closer to our purpose as humans if we moved continuously on foot across the surface of the earth” Bruce Chatwin -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens
