Day 684 (Tidbits)

Freedom of Speech and what Anonymous Hacktivists think of Freedom of Speech are on Blake Hall's THE 800 DAYS BLOG, for entry Day 684.

And since an important document is outlined regarding human rights and freedom of speech, I'm keeping my post to an absolute minimum here.

I think it is important for people to read and understand their rights and I've found that many people do not even understand their human rights...

Without further delay, go read about rights and I'll knock off early on this post.

The Day 684 post contains important information about Human Rights and is associated with Saturday February 5 2011.

Day 691 (Tidbits)

Another batch of activities from the Hackvist group, ANONYMOUS, was under way in late January 2011, but this activity was no hub-bub (loud, confused noise from many sources) stuff. The entity of Anonymous appears to use concerted efforts to gain attention, make statements, and draw attention to itself, along with perceived wrongs in the world.

Blake has been dutifully bringing the news of Anonymous' activities and statements to THE 800 DAYS blog - and his Day 691 post is another update on the doings and statements of Anonymous.

I like the image Blake placed at the top of the post... the pic shows a rather cheeky-looking moustached pharoah or idol... Nice!

Oh! That's the "V for Vendetta" face artistically imposed over the golden pharoah figure, isn't it?

Fitting! Again - nice.

Once more, Blake also provides more links to Anonymous' activities and additional information about this group/entity, so if you're at all interested in Anonymous, please be sure to check out and follow the links provided in the Day 691 post on The 800 Days blog. There actually now exists, an "AnonNews," and if Blake finds there's anything new circulating about Anonymous, he's promised to get it posted to the blog, so keep tuning in!



Enjoy the Anonymous information and the links. I'm cutting this post short so I can follow some links, myself, as I'm quite far behind on how to keep abreast of what Anonymous is up to!

The Day 691 vendetta post - oops I mean - the entry on the 800Days blog is associated with hacktivism as well as the date, Saturday January 29 2011.

Think in V-minor?

Day 698 (Tidbits)

More news and words from Anonymous have been featured on the Day 698 entry of The 800 Days blog. These words are a scathing social commentary that, in my humble opinion (and obviously by Blake's point of view, as well), should be considered with a great deal of critical thinking.

Blake has also provided some links to other locations online where you'll find "Anonymous" bits - radio, news and such.

In the spirit of catching on Blake's content, I am keeping this post extremely short - partly because I have in excess of 20 posts to catch up on after a little break I took from blogging in February, and in part because I cannot reiterate the words of Anonymous without breaking with the intensity of the Anonymous messages!

Day 707 (Tidbits)

Hey, the content in Blake's Day 707 entry on his THE 800 DAYS weblog is a reminder of sorts designed to keep our minds returning to recent and current events. Blake has some things to say on "ANONYMOUS" and the 2010 December 9th and 10th CyberWar attacks... events we should be paying close attention to as THEY ARE OUT OF COMPLEX MOTIVATIONS, and are INITIATED by those who choose to hide from authorities and a general public while at the same time, managing to project ideas, messages on a grand scale. As well, ANONYMOUS is more temporal and abstract than all this... Anonymous is IDEAS...

Now this way of thinking about an entity of sorts who manages to actually perform widespread actions with technology - is different from anything we have ever had to think about before. Hello... life is advancing, we need to catch up - we need to wrap our heads around this stuff. It's far from traditional - ANONYMOUS is ideas of a people (could be anywhere, could be everywhere) who want liberation from corruption and unwarranted control over people and technology... Anonymous=good idea!

Blake also displays info in one of the easiest way for viewers/readers to understand... by Video. Many of us lead hurried lives with many tasks per day in them. Videos that are reasonably made cut out a lot of time for us sometimes, so I like that Blake constantly browses vid sites for pertinent informational videos as well as for artistic/musical creations and recordings.

The vids on Blake's Day 707 post are of short length - none longer than 9 minutes - and anyone at all should be able to fit these in during even a fairly hectic day.

Vid 1 - message from "Anonymous", Vid 2 - message for those who want to understand the Anonymous message and Cyber Attack events, Vid 3 - message for the media, Vid 4 - Anonymous to The Governments of the World.

In my opinion, the group and individuals involved as ANONYMOUS are serious individuals who need be respected... So far, the events initiated by ANONYMOUS have been of the "no harm to the bodies of persons" type. I feel it is best that things stay this way. Personally, I don't think the actions of ANONYMOUS are solely for the media and governments... the actions are just as much for the general public...

K, heads up here... Paying attention?

Good

ANONYMOUS has shown a non-violent way to SET BOUNDARIES between the public and the oppressive, corrupt powers that be.

That's it.

That's all I wanted to say and as brief an idea as I can project about how I interpret the Cyber Attacks of December 2010 and the group ANONYMOUS who intitiated and executed the attacks (wow, I used a "word of violence" in explaining this bodily non-violent stuff - "executed." Might want to come back to this later).

WATCH THE VIDS!!! (while you read along with the article underneath the vids). Watch the vids TWICE - read the article below the vids THRICE - how better to learn how to set boundaries, ourselves, than to take in one of the most powerful boundary "ACTS" and explanations of the actions of ANONYMOUS that there has ever been to date in the world?

The Day 707 post on The 800 Days blog is about ANONYMOUS and is associated with Thursday January 13 2011.

Day 739 (Tidbits)

And we return to a recent and pertinent topic - Cyberwars... Well, some are calling what's going on "Info Wars" and others are using the new-fangled term "Cyberwars," but regardless, SOMETHING is going on out in cyberspace with information and transmitting electronic data!

Apparently an arrest was made concerning the December 9th (2010) incident...a 16 year old (from The Hague) was taken into custody and seized his computer equipment for investigations after electronic attempts to mess with the Paypal, Visa, Mastercard, and Swedish government websites. The teen confessed to being involved with an organized, large scale DDoS attack aimed at said websites...The Swedish government issued a warrant (International!) against alleged sex offenses against WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange...

Do you think this sounds like Science Fiction or movie plot fare?

Well, it's not...

Apparently, the hacker group who initiated the cyber attacks against major institutions is known as Anonymous and is campaigning in a serious, electronic, noticeable way - on the side of "Freedom of Speech." Anonymous is impressive, TO ME, because they have EFFECTIVELY campaigned and acted in what can be considered a non-aggressive way. This group has not planned or caused any bodily harm to anyone, and this group of hacktivist individuals has used no traditional weapons to cause harm to anyone, HOWEVER, people need to take ANONYMOUS seriously...because Anonymous has already shown the ability and motivation to do things on the behalf of a general public that we used to only see in movies, read in books, view in the arts...

Go read Blake's more in-depth and detailed assessment of the situation on THE 800 DAYS blog...
