Anonymous is Muslim?
That puts a new perspective on things.
This is hooey, for the simple reason that Anonymous is not a hierarchical, “patriarchal” organization. Instead it is a decentralized “matriarchal” pattern, of the type that are gaining strength in the world.
The reason for this is that hierarchical organizations have figured all the ins and outs of the hierarchical pattern. They know how it works, and how to defeat another such pattern. But they have no “interface” with “matriarchal” organizations. They cannot control them because they cannot define their pattern.
A good real world example of this, oddly enough, is the ‘Rainbow Family’. It has no leaders, only ad hoc meetings with voluntary action of all participants. The government tries to block it, subvert it, control it, etc., but always fails because it cannot figure out how.
When they decide to hold a gathering, they begin by announcing a region where it will be held, then in an area within that region, then finally, just before it begins, they divulge the actual location. This makes it very hard to block them by preventing a gathering.
Once assembled, they still have nobody in charge, no leaders, and the only visible authority are volunteers with walkie talkies. Those who become violent are mobbed and duct taped to a tree.
Finally, when they are planning to leave, they not only clean up, but reseed the land, and put all their garbage in a truck. Then they finally ask for a volunteer to drive the truck. The volunteer knows he will be arrested as a sacrifice, because he is the closest thing to a “leader”, as far as the government is concerned. He must be willing to spend six months in jail as punishment.
In any event, this is similar to how Anonymous functions, and why the government fails to even define what it is. It has no leaders, and anyone can claim membership or disavow membership. It acts only when someone suggests doing something and others join in on their own.
Ironically, the Tea Party also forms a similar organization, which is why neither the government nor the left has been able to successfully co-opt, neutralize or destroy it.
Goldbug ping. (sorta)
