And, yes, I DO take it personally: Anonymous, LulzSec hacktivism and "The Plan"

following on to my earlier post from marcy...

an anonymous manifesto...

followed by sam seder describing the recent attempted takedown...

followed by "the plan"...

"The Plan": One Year. Three Phases. A World of Change.

This Plan will commence on the 15th of June, 2011 and continue for approximately one year, in the course of three separate phases.

Phase One begins now.

In this time, you are encouraged to educate yourselves on the injustices in this world.

Seek out iterations of freedom and human rights.

Become familiar with the corruption within your system.

Discover the enemy of true freedom.

Discover the oppressors.

The most important step of Phase One is to spread this message by sharing this video and those that preceded it.

Make your own films or videos, artwork, music, literature - resonate the voice of freedom and justice through your own creativity and bring others to this movement.

Street artists: You have the ability to bring millions with your art and message, in your own populated centers. Your canvas is there.

My friends, begin your work. Write the tales of injustice and oppression in your blogs. Tell your friends how we can break free from this system of enslavement.

Depict the images of freedom and truth, through your art and film.

Spread the message of The Plan with your graffiti.

Share this message with the world and bring them to stand amongst us, as we rise up from the ashes of the downtrodden and unprivileged.

Tell the elite we are here and we are coming for them.

Spread the message through blogs, social networking and video diaries.

Remember, words often have two meanings, in the enunciation of the truth.

Let the truth be heard. Educate yourselves in ways of becoming more self-sufficient.

Learn and acquire the tools to free yourself from the system.

Invest more heavily in precious metals, rather than stocks, paper fiat currencies, or other products of the financial establishment.

Discover your green thumb and appreciate your ability to grow your own produce.

The sky is the limit and the only barrier is your own reliance on a system that thrives on your dependence.

Hackers within Anonymous: Begin selecting low-priority targets that have violated freedoms, both in the online realm and in the offline realm, as well.

Stand with our friends, taking their stance in the world and ensure that they are supported, by any means necessary.

As always, remain vigilant.

We all must all learn to "Walk the walk," if you will.

We can all tell tales of grandeur and extravagance. It is time we start becoming our own legends.

It is time we all start bettering ourselves, first, so that we may focus on the greater challenge at hand with intelligence and confidence.

As of this 15th day of June 2011, we are pleased to bring to you the beginnings of a web platform, for us all to meet and converse; to share ideas and recommendations over the course of the next year and the Three Phases, that will be unfolding:

If you feel as we feel and have found something inside you, pushing you toward acting upon The Plan, go there and become an active member.

Educate yourself and share your thoughts and ideas with others, so that you may help others on this same journey.

Continue to spread this video by all possible venues and ensure we are all doing our part to bring the same opportunity to all that we can.

Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can accomplish something real.

Phase Two will be initiated in approximately 5 months (November 2011).

Continue your efforts and the focus of Phase Two will be presented when that time comes.

We expect there will be large numbers of people participating in The Plan, by that point. We will prevail.

So, if you see nothing; If the crimes of these governments remain unknown to you, then we would suggest that you allow this year to pass unmarked.

But if you see what we see and if you feel what we feel and if you would seek what we seek, then you, too are Anonymous.

Stand by us this year, as we execute "The Plan" and together, we shall give them a year that shall never, ever be forgotten.

We are Anonymous, united as one, divided by zero.

Phase One initiated. The resistance is here:
