sanityscraps:itsthemusicpeople:Oh dear, I don’t feel too good about this…manicchill:Anonymous Announces Next Target: The New York Stock ExchangeThis past weekend, as #OccupyWallSt entered its third week in existence, the “hack-tivist” group Anonymous declared war on the New York Stock Exchange, threatening to “erase NYSE from the Internet.”In a video, posted to the TheAnonMessage Youtube channel, the an electronic voice warns that, “On Oct. 10, NYSE shall be erased from the Internet. On Oct. 10, expect a day that will never, ever be forgotten.”The threats come on the heels of another Anonymous declaration, although the earlier release was directed at the NYPD in retaliation for their mass arrests and reports of brutality against #OccupyWallSt protesters.The new Anonymous video, and a transcript, are belowGreetings, institutions of the media.We are Anonymous.The events transpiring within Wall Street have caught our eye.It seems that the government and federal agencies enjoy enforcing the law a little bit too much. They instate unjust laws as mindless automatons, blindly following orders with soulless precision.We witness the government enforcing the laws that punish the 99 percent while allowing the 1 percent to escape justice, unharmed, for their crimes against the people.We have observed this same government failing to enforce even the minimal legal restraints of Wall Street’s abuses. This government who has willingly ignored the greed at Wall Street has even bailed out the perpetrators that have caused our crisis.We will not stand by and watch the system take over our way of life.We the people shall stand against the government’s inaction.We the people will not be witnesses to your corruption and ill-gotten profits.We will not labor for your leisure.We will not assist you in any way.This is why we choose to declare our war against the New York Stock Exchange. We can no longer stay silent as the population is being exploited and forced to make sacrifices in the name of profit.We will show the world that we are true to our word. On Oct. 10, NYSE shall be erased from the Internet. On Oct. 10, expect a day that will never, ever be forgotten.Vox Populi, Vox Anon.The Voice of The People is The Voice of Anonymous.We are Legion. We are the 99 percent.We do not forgive. We do not forget.Wall Street: Expect (transcript courtesy of PCMag)Okay. Uh… Damn. I realize that Anonymous means well, but this could have farther-reaching consequences than they seem to be imagining. -- source link
