<tr><td><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font color="#333333" size="2">In a brief video published to YouTube this
week, a masked member of hacktivist group 'Anonymous” claimed the '99
percent” movement behind 'Occupy Wall Street” has now spread to 30 U.S.
cities ahead of a series of nation-wide actions.<br>
<br>
'Everyone, everywhere, will be occupying their towns, their capitals and
other public spaces,” the protester said. 'Already we have made
tremendous progress. In just a little over a week, ‘Occupy’ initiatives
have sprung up in over 30 U.S. cities.<br>
<br>
'This is now bigger than you, or me. It is about us, a collective 99
percent that will no longer stand for the corruption, greed and
inequality that is rampant in our governing bodies.”<br>
<br>
Federal authorities warned this week that 'Anonymous,” which has
encouraged the protests but does not represent them, will likely use the
protests as a motivation for continued cyber attacks on targets seen as
antagonistic to the cause.<br>
<br>
The Department of Homeland Security said in a prepared statements that
Anonymous 'will continue to exploit vulnerable publicly available web
servers, computer networks and other digital information mediums for the
foreseeable future.”<br>
<br>
In an opposing statement, Occupy Wall Street spokesman Patrick Burener
told News Corp. paper The New York Post that the hackers stand 'in
solidarity with us, and they’re nonviolent.”<br>
<br>
'They have legitimate grievances - they have reasons to be upset with
the way the Internet works - but sometimes the way they put that out
there isn’t beneficial,” he said.<br>
<br>
'99 percent” activists in cities other than New York have begun calling
their effort 'Occupy Together.” They’re listing each city’s planned
protest on their website and offering a set of online tools to help
others organize even more.<br>
<br>
'What are our demands, you ask?” the Anonymous spokesman concluded in
the group’s latest video. 'They are simple: they are the same as yours.”<br>
<br>
For a long list of the reasons why people are joining the '99 percent,”
read some of the posts on the group’s Tumblr, where letters from the
activists are being archived.</font></font></td></tr></tbody></table><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>P2P Foundation: <a href="http://p2pfoundation.net" target="_blank">http://p2pfoundation.net</a> - <a href="http://blog.p2pfoundation.net" target="_blank">http://blog.p2pfoundation.net</a> <br>
