“Jeremy also went to UIC and he bragged that he met with Bill Ayers.” Ayers is the controversial retired professor from University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) who used to be part of the Weather Underground, a 1970s far-left radical group responsible for bombings and other criminal acts in the United States. Ayers and Barack Obama were friends in Chicago, served on the same boards and Ayers even contributed money to Obama’s first campaign. "

"Behind the Violence, Says Jane Alpert, Was Sex"

--November 09, 1981--
"The leaders of the Weather Underground, she believes, followed a similar pattern of constantly shifting sexual alliances..."

"He [Bill Ayers] also writes about the Weathermen's sexual experimentation as they tried to 'smash monogamy.' The Weathermen were 'an army of lovers,' he says, and describes having had different sexual partners, including his best male friend."

"...the Weathermen, when not engaged in group sex, committed such revolutionary acts as parading with a Viet Cong flag through a local park on Independence Day and spray-painting the walls of a high school with the slogans, "Off the Pigs," "Viet Cong Will Win," and "F#$k U.S. Imperialism."..."

"What happens next bears watching closely, as does the response of the president, ex-Speaker Pelosi, and others on the left.  Encouraged by leftists in the Democratic Party and funded by left-leaning nonprofit organizations and celebrity contributors, Occupy Wall Street may in time morph into something resembling the radical factions of the late 1960s and 1970s."

And while Collins says that her son never told her that any members of the federal government were involved “Jeremy also went to UIC and he bragged that he met with Bill Ayers.”

I better not say what I would like to say.

Jeremy’s mom obviously does not understand Anonymous.

Yes, it/they are legion. However, they are also ad-hoc and participation is completely voluntary. Everyone has a single goal, but at the same time, everyone is on their own. There is no “leader” for Anonymous. So, while Anonymous may have lawyers in its ranks, it is entirely up to the individual lawyer whether or not to help Jeremy.

Anonymous does not care about its target. Actions are taken strictly for “teh lulz”, and repercussions or motivations are not a factor.

She asks “Who are you to decide that all government secrets must be exposed?”. Who says they have to be “anybody”? Anonymous does not care. To the extent that they have any kind of overriding philosophy, they espouse a very shallow form of anarchy, wanting to knock at least a few pins out from under *anyone* who they feel is too imposing or authoritarian.

In reality, most of Anonymous is very like Jeremy. Many of its participants are highly intelligent. However, the axiom “no one of us is as stupid as all of us” still applies, and they will gleefully launch attacks on any target that catches their fancy with little (or no) consideration for any long-term consequences or side effects of their actions.
