Anonymous & Lulz Security Statement - Pastebin.com

Hello thar FBI and international law authorities,

We recently stumbled across the following article with amazement and a certain amount of amusement:

http://www.npr.org/2011/07/20/138555799/fbi-arrests-alleged-anonymous-hackers

The statements made by deputy assistant FBI director Steve Chabinsky in this

article clearly seem to be directed at Anonymous and Lulz Security, and we are

happy to provide you with a response.

You state:

  "We want to send a message that chaos on the Internet is unacceptable,

  [even if] hackers can be believed to have social causes, it's entirely

  unacceptable to break into websites and commit unlawful acts."

Now let us be clear here, Mr. Chabinsky, while we understand that you and

your colleagues may find breaking into websites unacceptable, let us tell

you what WE find unacceptable:

 * Governments lying to their citizens and inducing fear and terror to keep

   them in control by dismantling their freedom piece by piece.

 * Corporations aiding and conspiring with said governments while taking

   advantage at the same time by collecting billions of funds for

   federal contracts we all know they can't fulfil.

 * Lobby conglomerates who only follow their agenda to push the profits

   higher, while at the same time being deeply involved in governments around

   the world with the only goal to infiltrate and corrupt them enough

   so the status quo will never change.

These governments and corporations are our enemy. And we will continue to

fight them, with all methods we have at our disposal, and that certainly

includes breaking into their websites and exposing their lies.

We are not scared any more. Your threats to arrest us are meaningless to

us as you cannot arrest an idea. Any attempt to do so will make your

citizens more angry until they will roar in one gigantic choir. It is our

mission to help these people and there is nothing - absolutely nothing - you

can possibly to do make us stop.

  "The Internet has become so important to so many people that we have to

  ensure that the World Wide Web does not become the Wild Wild West."

Let me ask you, good sir, when was the Internet not the Wild Wild West? Do

you really believe you were in control of it at any point? You were not.

That does not mean that everyone behaves like an outlaw. You see, most

people do not behave like bandits if they have no reason to. We become bandits

on the Internet because you have forced our hand. The Anonymous bitchslap rings

through your ears like hacktivism movements of the 90s. We're back - and we're

not going anywhere. Expect us.
