Well… Since Nov 28, I have been listening about “the cablegate”. According to them “WikiLeaks is a non-profit media organization dedicated to bringing important news and information to the public. They provide an innovative, secure and anonymous way for independent sources around the world to leak information to our journalists. They publish material of ethical, political and historical significance while keeping the identity of our sources anonymous, thus providing a universal way for the revealing of suppressed and censored injustices.”
They leaked 251,287 confidential cabled sent by United States embassy and that started this kind of cyberwar. Once they leaked the documents, a craker who calls himself Jester, started a DDoS on the wikileaks site. Also, several US political figures urged to private companies to stoop helping Wikileaks. Amazon, Paypal, Visa and Mastercard (among others) where targets of the Anonymous Group who called themselves to the “Operation Payback”. I let you know the Original communicate:
A Letter from Anonymous
Our Message, Intentions, and Potential Targets“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.” – Abraham Lincoln “He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.” – Benjamin Franklin
Hello World. We are Anonymous. What you do or do not know about us is irrelevant. We have decided to write to you, the media, and all citizens of the free world at large to inform you of the message, our intentions, potential targets, and our ongoing peaceful campaign for freedom.
“True, This! —
Beneath the rule of men entirely great,
The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! —
But taking sorcery from the master-hand
To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike
The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —
States can be saved without it!”
- The Cardinal
Richelieu; Or the Conspiracy by: Edward Bulwer-Lytton
The message is simple: Freedom of Speech. Anonymous is peacefully campaigning for Freedom of Speech everywhere in all forms. Freedom of Speech for: The Internet, for journalism and journalists, and citizens of the world at large. Regardless of what you think or have to say; Anonymous is campaigning for you.
The recent news of our campaigns has been, at best, misinformed. Anonymous is not always the same group of people. The Constitution of the United States is said to be a living document, because it can be edited, amended; changed at the will of the people to suit the peoples’ needs. In that same vein, Anonymous is a living idea. Anonymous is an idea that can be edited, updated, remanded, changed on a whim. We are living consciousness. We are not a terrorist organization as governments, demagogues, and the media would have you believe. At this time Anonymous is a consciousness focused on campaigning peacefully for Freedom of Speech. We ask the world to support us, not for our sake, but for your own. When governments control freedom they control you. The Internet is the last bastion of freedom in this evolving technical world. The Internet is capable of connecting us all. When we are connected we are strong. When we are strong we have power. When we have power we are able to do the impossible. This is why the government is moving on Wikileaks. This is what they fear. They fear our power when we unite. Do not forget this.
“…Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.”
- Monsignor, Boondock Saints
Anonymous’ intentions are very clear. We are not vigilantes, regardless of the sentiment of quoting Boondock Saints, we are people on a campaign for freedom. Anonymous’ intentions are to change the current way the governments of the world and the people view true Freedom of Speech and The Internet. Anonymous is willing, ready, and able to campaign for the freedom for all. We are campaigning right now as you read the news, watch the television, fight with your
significant other, love your children, hate your neighbor, criticize the man or woman next to you. We are campaigning. The goal is simple: Win the right to keep the Internet free of any control from any entity, corporation, or government. We will do this until our, proverbial, dying breath. We do this not only for our selves, but for the world and its people at large.
“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.”
- Ron Paul
Pay attention citizens, governments, and the world. Anonymous’ peaceful campaign will focus on any organization, corporation, government, or entity until the Internet is truly free.
Anonymous is doing what many successful campaigns have done in the past; a sit-in. It may be hard to comprehend, but a digital sit-in is our most effective method to show that all of us deserve Freedom of Speech and a free Internet. Our methods may appear, on the outside, to be cruel to those the entities that we are campaigning against, but remember buy supporting censorship they are denying everyone a basic human right. Any person, corporation, government, or miscellaneous entity that stops supporting censorship and starts promoting Freedom of Speech and a free Internet will become our allies. Anonymous, at this time, wants to persuade our counterparts rather than hurt them. We are campaigning for freedom for everyone, even the opposing side.
Do not fear us. Anonymous’ campaign does not intend to harm the individual citizen, any organizations, any websites, or government, that supports true freedom of speech. Anonymous’ past is not our present. We are here for all of you; to campaign for all of you. Where others have made this promise and failed; we make this promise and aim to keep it for everyone.
Anything attributed, credited, or tagged to Anonymous is not always what we do. We arenot always the same consciousness on a yearly, monthly, or even hourly basis. Do not believe everything you hear or read on the news. Anonymous is often credited with actions that are not campaigned for by Anonymous. The true core of Anonymous is here to help the free world for now. Anonymous wishes to represent the truth and ask that you as a citizen, media organization, or government do the same.
Unfortunately, this message has changed. Instead of that, this video is the new “letter”
It’s been a long time since I don’t write some words on this blog. It’s not dead… Just delayed… I’m not a pro blogger and I, personally, prefer to spread my knowledge and my experiences in using other media.
But it was time to come and check if the site is alive. I made some changes (new WordPress version, new Twitter integration, better sitemaps and better caching)…
Now I’m thinking on a new theme…. But i have to work on it…

On the main page of the blog, on right side is a section Called Digsby. This allows you to contact me using IM. Instant communication at your service.
Digsby is a all-in-one IM + Email + Social Network client that helps me a lot to be communicated with everyone. Plus is a very good Twitter client (but I am still preferring TweetDeck as my main Desktop client).
Update: By security reasons I removed The twitter integration on the Blog. I’ll attempt to restore it… But all the options I tried did not work with protected accounts.
