The international hacktivist group Anonymous today warned of “insurrection in America” as the government controls and twists the narrative on gun-related incidents.
Known for the Guy Fawkes masks worn at protests, Anonymous has styled itself as an anti-authority crusader against government corruption and lack of transparency, and supported the Occupy protests. And now the hackers are stepping into the gun control debate, warning in a lengthy message today that “throughout history authoritarian governments have used gun violence as an excuse to take peoples firearms and control there population.”
“Obama has been working hard to try and ban semi-automatic weapons and shotguns while at the same time increasing the weapons and firepower that police and government agencies have. Within minutes of the Connecticut shooting, politicians were on the state run media saying it was time to get rid of the guns and they will be talking about it for weeks to come,” Anonymous wrote on its blog. “The Obama administration and his government funded media have been promoting this idea for months. Everytime there is a shooting performed by a crazy person the media talks about it non-stop for weeks or months. But when there is an illegal or unlawful shooting by police that does not fit Obama’s agenda the story is barely mentioned.”
Anonymous notes that not only do police shootings barely get any attention, but cases where slaying are committed without guns or where guns are used to save lives also fly under the radar.
“Mr. Obama the 2nd amendment of the US Constitution does not talk about an army, that is covered elsewhere in the constitution. It does talk about a well regulated militia which is made of civilians with their own weapons. The second amendment of the US Constitution does not talk about protecting government or government resources, but it does talk about being necessary for the security of a free state. The second amendment of the US constitution does not say a single word about hunting or sport. But it does say ‘The peoples right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed’.”
“To the American people, as many laws have been banning firearms in cities such as Chicago, New York, and Washington D.C have been implemented and as the courts get them, they are now being overthrown as being unconstitutional. Even if they were not ruled on, they are an infringement to your second amendment rights and you have no obligation to obey it and the courts have no obligation to enforce it.”
In a section directly addressing Obama, Anonymous warns there will be “no further tolerance” of any act to infringe on the Constitution, confiscate weapons or control gun ownership, or enter into any treaty that would do the same.
“Any action taken by you to attempt to perform those acts or similar acts as interpreted by the American people or any attempt by you to skirt your responsibility to the true office of the presidency will be viewed by many people as your willfull act of insurrection and treason,” Anonymous continues. The group then goes on to detail how Obama could be removed, by military force if necessary.
One wonders how Anonymous might use its hacking skills that have perpetually confounded the government and big business to step in on the side of gun-rights proponents.
Politics does indeed make strange bedfellows. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
It’s getting hard for anyone to feel comfortable with a heavily armed government and a disarmed citizenry. Left, right or in between. I don’t think I would side with Anonymous but if they want to take out totalitarians in positions of power I’m not going to get in their way.
Some groups are so far left they are basically right.
Well on this they are a "lib"erty group.
Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then.
You say that like it is a bad thing. "Anarchy" translates from ancient languages to "being without a ruler" in today's vernacular.
Wouldn’t they (PJ) have the ability to take it off their server and post an apology THERE?
Windflier posted the link to the video earlier. I viewed the entire video. They definitely lay out a clear case showing that Obama has committed treason against the Constitution. They seem supremely p*ssed.
It's a bizarre world in which Anonymous stands up more strongly for the Constitution than our girly leaders such as Boehner.
If by anarchist you mean the core of anonymous values their individuality and personal freedom; then yeah.
Must be fake. The author needs to "occupy" a dictionary.
I read comments about this video that stated that those who stated it isn't from Anonymous are lying. There was a link (credible? ) that has Anonymous stating it's valid.
My gut now tells me it's NOT from Anonymous.
Still, whoever made it presents a damning case against Obama -- lol.
What I was thinking.
We’ll see.
Anybody have an idea how you “join” Anon? I think that would be an interesting thing to do. Any ideas?
All the degenerate’s need is a sock puppet on TV telling them to jump off a cliff and problem solved.
They see Big Business and Big Finance as the enemy. We see Big Govt and Big Labor s the enemy. this admin has connected all the Bigs into one entity. I call it Fascism. Remember the old slogan “They came for the Communists but I wasn’t a communist...”
Personally I can’t fault them about Free Stuff over the internet. Nothing on the internet is truly secure. Use it at your own risk.
Anything you post is just like leaving it on the side of road and expecting it to be there later.
I was thinking more of the saying ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend.’
I would say that that statement is false. The enemy of your enemy may very well be your enemy as soon as you have both disposed of the first.
If you bring past, present and future into it then every statement is false.
Biggirl - Some "seriously lib" friends of mine have also been anticipating a civil war.
And these lib friends are all gun owners!
I guess if you anticipate a civil war, better get yourself armed in advance for your safety and security.
Uncle Sugar has gotten too big, too expensive, too intrusive, too controlling, too irresponsible, too powerful.
The founding fathers of this country never meant for this to be.
Ain't it though?
I've nearly come to the conclusion that we patriots are all on our own. Very few elected reps on the Republican side are vociferously standing up for our God-given rights and the Constitution. That they refuse to stand as the vanguard of freedom, means that they're abdicating what standing they do have, to the states and the people.
I think we all know what that will lead to.
