Anon Message to America

[BoredDragon]

I'm very suspicious of this video. Someone spent way too much time editing for it to be some kind of emergency broadcast to the people. Why does he need eerie music, multiple microsoft narrator voices, wavy lines, the beginning animation, and a slide show at the end? Why would he spend so much time make it looking flashy instead of getting it out quickly to inform the masses?

While I agree that this bill should have never made its way through Congress, this guy just sounds like he is trying to be a fear monger

Also, if the guy hates the bill so much why doesn't he start a petition if there isn't one already? and if there is one already, why doesn't he try to raise awareness of it so that people go sign it?

I can think of a quote that fits here.

"I'm gonna pull the whole thing down. I'm gonna bring the whole fuckin' diseased, corrupt temple down on your head. It's gonna be biblical."

Well if this thing comes to effect, go anon.

 

[Krion_Vark]

Yeah.

I love you for doing that LOL.

Also so that I don't get a too short warning here is a sentence because I am going to edit my OP for what I was going to say here but chances are if I don't edit it its not going to be read.

 

[Jubbert]

Now that that's out of the way, how the fuck did this get that far? This is what Occupy is all about, yet the general consensus was to laugh that away. Now they've taken away the one thing that actually put America in a good light.

If this passes, I'm rioting.

It's precisely BECAUSE of the Occupy movement that a lot of power-hungry bastards are trying to pass ridiculous shit like this, I think. They probably realized that people aren't gonna sit and take it forever, and if they want to keep making ridiculous amounts of cash and keep their lofty positions and government connections, they'll have to keep the public under a thumb.

I wondered when Anonymous would get involved in all this. I'm surprised they didn't get involved sooner with the SOPA thing. I'm sort of glad to see this really, I really resented them after the LulzSec thing and pretty much lost all faith in seeing them do something worthwhile again.

The problem with Anonymous?and even with people who go on about the bad things Anonymous does?is that there's really no such thing as Anonymous. That'll always be their biggest problem. If Anonymous is everyone than anyone can be Anonymous. People can do things that are totally contrary to the spirit of Anonymous, blame them, and because they don't have an official membership or leadership you can't say that it isn't Anonymous. There's always gonna be people who want to commit LulzSec like attacks and blame it on Anonymous. We just have to hope that the Operation Chanology and SOPA Fighting Anons win out.

This is bogus. The video I mean. S. 1867 is not bogus and is a very real problem. Thankfully the questionable wording of section 1032, on the subject of military detention has been spotted by some particularly bright bulb on the staff at the White House, and is simply more evidence that the people we vote for do not even fully read the bills they vote on.

Anyways the day Anonymous can't spell Anonymous is well, the day they're not Anonymous. And its quite easy to throw a bunch of images you can find freely on Google into a hurriedly produced Vegas Video production and upload it to YouTube in hopes you get a lot of hits.

This is not to say that the passage of such a bill would not see some level of reprisal. I simply point out that if Anonymous was going to threaten the United States Senate, I'm sure that proper utilization of the English language would be most appropriate.

 

[Kolby Jack]

Hrm. I disagree with this bill if it is as has been presented by a group that polluted their statement with exaggerations and half-truths. The rhetoric was clearly designed to get me to think that if this bill becomes law, the military will march through streets the very next day and round up dissidents for execution or a lifetime in "secret prisons," which is total horse shit. The military would never do that, nor would they be allowed to do something like that by the people, ESPECIALLY the people who are actually serving in the military. They aren't cold, unthinking drones who follow all orders without question.

So yea, this bill is probably a bad idea, but it's not the end of freedom, or the bill of rights, or really much of anything. Anonymous (if that's even their real name!) is clearly trying to rally dip-shits against the government. The saddest part is that it will probably work on quite a few people.

To further add, if you think that Anonymous cannot understand the wording of Section 1031 - 1033 of S. 1867 and would respond with this much hyperbole and hysteria, you are again, completely mistaken.

This video was produced by some random internet PhD of Tinfoil Hats, using Anonymous images and presenting themselves as something they are not.

I can assure you that the day Anonymous threatens the United States Senate, you will not find out about it via YouTube.

So again, to clarify, this video was not produced by Anonymous.

 

[The_Blue_Rider]

Id take anonymous a bit more seriously and be more supportive if they didnt do this video bullshit, seriously, it makes it look less they really want to make a difference and more like they just want attention

Except the whole identity of Anonymous is that ANYONE can be a member. Therefore, ANYONE who claims to do something in Anonymous' name represents Anonymous. If not, then they have free reign to do something that gets bad press and say "Oh, no, that wasn't us" but when something is well received they say "Oh yea, we did that, like, TOTALLY." That shit don't fly, my friend. If you want to be a group that exists as Anonymous does, you must accept the fact that because of your lack of organization and public representation, you are responsible for all the people who claim to be a part of Anonymous.

Not exactly.

But I do see why and how you would draw such a conclusion.

Suffice it to say, anyone can be anonymous. But it takes far more aptitude than this to be Anonymous.

 

[iLikeHippos]

...That message was so bloody cheesy. It's not all madness and oppression in America, at least the last time I visited. And you don't need a riot; you need new leaders. Some who will, at the very least, not even begin to suggest putting up such a humbug of a bill. Some, who actually have passed math and calculus so they won't fuck the entire economy up. And some, who won't see people as a cattle of sheep with wolfs in the midst, so they must detain ALL the sheep's rights to go free in order to locate the wolfs.

I'm really curious to see how this is going to play out. It seems like a line is being drawn in the sand, and on one side is a black and white version of 1984 where Big Brother is called Homeland Security (isn't that what big brothers are really?), constantly watching us through our droids and reminding us to keep working without thinking or the invisible enemy, here called terrorism, wins, and on the other side is the continued struggle for freedom and all the things this country was initially founded on.

If they win here, and we just submit, it's a quick slope to cliche.

But... my worry is, if, well, when, we stand up, because it will happen, if not here then somewhere else where it might be too late if it's not already... when we stand up, what happens if it's the majority of the country? Game over, all the bad men who've been fucking everything forever sit on trial for their shit and we work on figuring out a way to unfuck ourselves? What if it's not a majority of the country? Black bag what will be a mostly younger movement in a society that already has a 2:1 ratio of retired to young?


I just don't understand what the fuck they are thinking with this law really, I mean it's really forcing this whole thing to a boiling point. People are not going to accept this, they must have known that while they were writing it.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

You know, I really hate Anonymous.

What he said. Seriously shut up Anonymous you attention whoring, fear mongering fucks!

 

[neurohazzard]

Wow, wish I hadn't wasted my credibility on this thread by already posting that I thought they where talking about SOPA before watching the video...

But yeah, I'm starting to seriously consider moving to Canada, every day it seems like another Bill pops up that threatens my very way of life. America is clearly telling me it doesn't want me here, and frankly, I don't think I want to be here either.

Yeah I would hold off on Canada until we've dealt with the whole "Oh dear god we elected Stephen Harper >_<" thing. Europe might be better, but I'm not quite sure how things are playing out over there either.

That makes two of us. I am considering finding out just what I need to do to attain citizenship in Canada...

EDIT:
Although for now, I do want to see if the White House will actually veto this.

 

[RatRace123]

You know what, I'm in full agreement with them on this, assuming it's actually anon. This act is absolutely disgusting, even if it's not as extreme as they make it out to be. The fact that it passed at all, is just a sad summary on the state of things in this country.

And it wouldn't surprise me at all if the government actually did enact a law that gave them the power to just make anyone they want to disappear.

If you run from your battles they will catch up to you eventually I think we need to fight them now because who knows writing against such bills on the internet could soon be considered a form of terrorism.

Yeah, agreed. It's at times like these that people need to start blowing the dust off the second amendment and polishing their rifles. Let's just see them try and black-bag us NOW.

 

[Snotnarok]

I thought they already stripped half our rights with the Patriot act, I wasn't aware they could do more.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

I like that they completely overlooked the theocratic intentions behind the Gunpowder Plot. Nope, it's for freedom.

And either you guys didn't know about that, or you didn't really watch the whole video.
