Hacker group Anonymous has been been pretty tight-lipped about its political beliefs with operations in the organizations name conducted against Western democracies, authoritarian countries like China, and Muslim countries like Egypt, Syria, and Iran. And, of course, Israel.
But one thing has become clear in the lead-up to its next major hacking attack: Anonymous members are gold bugs, people who believe that the yellow metal is the proper method for the exchange of goods and services and advocate the use of precious metals as the proper currency for the sale and purchase of oil.
Thats the main reason the group will be conducting Operation Petroleum, according to numerous videos released on websites around the world. Scheduled for June 20, #OpPetrol will target at least a dozen countries, including the US, Britain, Canada, numerous European countries, Israel (again), and China along with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar.
Its an interesting combination of countries for an attack, but in the video, Anonymous makes clear the connection between them. Because Petrol is sold with the dollar ($) and Saudi Arabia has betrayed Muslims with their cooperation. So why isnt Petrol sold with the currency of the country which exports it? Because the Zionists own us like this [sic].
According to the anonymous Anonymous spokesperson, the Zionists are masters of the so-called New World Order, an international uber-government, and the purpose of their use of the dollar and eventually credit cards, which are replacing paper money is to be able to control the population of the world like robots.

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)
The Iron Law of Oligarchy is still in effect: the only way to take down the current oligarchy is to replace it with another one. Otherwise you're just engaging in vandalism.
They’d do better hacking COMEX and NYMEX, gawd look at silver the past hour or so. As zerohedge tells it, the US/yen went through some magic level, somebody got blown out, silver dropped two bucks in ten minutes, and here we are at $21 and change.
Wow.
That is a drop.

I don’t think they’re Muslims....the authorities are arresting them from all over the world of recent:

It can be argued that the tea parties were in fact neutralized. While there are memories of heady days, the momentum was dampened, the force diminished if not destroyed.
It occurred to me recently that there was a very significant and well advertised and attended event in Washington. The Tea party groups actually came to DC in large numbers to protest and to protect the Vietnam Memorial from desecration. It was downplayed by the MSM but the lies did not diminish the fact. There were hundreds of thousands that turned out that day to protest their disgust.
It can be further argued that while there seemed to be no real result for the gathering, no coming together, no powerful active force emerging, no redress of greviences, the event produced genuine fear and perhaps panic at the DNC/White House. The events undoubtedly precipitated or at least strengthened the resolve to destroy the Tea Parties. The IRS was tuned up to bring about that destruction.
Yes and no. Dramatic, acute change is often a case of “say Hello to the new boss, same as the old boss”, due to institutional rigidity. But institutional change, far less flashy, can have much more powerful consequences in the mid to long term.
Citing the Tea Party, for example, while it has not yet struck at the highest levels of the Republican party, it has taken out several major RINO obstacles to reform. These obstacles were always willing to join with liberals against conservatism, undermining and thwarting their policies from being enacted. They held a death grip on the Republican leadership.
Eroding them will finally permit conservative ascension in the Republican party, and eventually an option other than liberal Democrat or RINO control over the government. And when that happens, much of the national government Tower of Babel will be collapsed.
The resultant jump in efficiency in the US economy and industry will be extraordinary.
It is happening from a decentralized organization for the simple reason that any hierarchical organization that would try would be crushed. And while the current regime hates and fears the Tea Party, it is extremely hard to attack in any way other than name calling. And even that slides off because there is no ‘face’ to condemn.
What's going on in the UK with the abandonment of the squishy Tories for UKIP is giving me a little more hope, though.
