In the latest video from Anonymous, they have called for the most aggressive action yet. They're asking the American people to join them in a "call to arms" for the destruction and overthrow of the US Government.
In the statement, Anonymous says the government is calling them "terrorists" because they truly fear a people's uprising.
"The United States Government insists on labeling us as terrorists. The question is, "who do we terrorize?" Is it probable that the United States government is truly afraid of we, the people?"
They are not calling for denial of service attacks on government websites or protests as is their normal modus operandi, but for freedom activists to join them in full-blown war to overthrow the US Government and return it to the control of the people.
"We are not calling upon the collective to deface or use a distributed denial of service attack on a United States government agency website, or affiliate. We are not calling upon the people to once again occupy a city or protest in front of a local building, This has not brought on us any legislative change or alternate law. It has only brought us bloodshed and false criticism. For the last 12 years, voting has been useless. Corporations and lobbyists are the true leaders of this country and are the ones with the power to control our lives, To rebuild our government, we must first destroy it.Our time for democracy is here, Our time for resolution is here, This is America's time for revolution, To restore our constitutional rights, to once again, be free therefore, Anonymous along with the American people have decided to openly declare war on the United States government. This is a call to arms."
The hacktivist collective lists a long train of abuses that can no longer be allowed:
We refuse to be a police state.
We refuse to be brutalized and dehumanized by the very people our tax dollars fund to protect our cities and streets.
We will not allow the government to control our destiny, our right to build a life for ourselves.
We demand freedom from government control, taxation, repossession and death. You will not come to our doors and take our guns, our property, you will not force the citizens of this great country to participate in the unlawful act of government mandated healthcare. We the people refuse to put in your control our health, our bodies, our minds, our lives.
We will not grant permission for the government to deploy drones over our homes and communities.
We must end the federal reserve. A private central bank should not issue our currency, set interest rates and run our economy. Rather, we need to return control over the currency to the American people where it belongs. They claim that all peaceful attempts to affect change within the system have failed and the time for action is now.
"Our peaceful actions, patience and restraint have been demonstrated as we watched and waited for our Congress and Representatives to speak for the American citizens and protect us from the tyrant that sits in the oval office and happily strips the American people of our rights, one by one, executive order by executive order. We have waited long enough."
1.) The people who are angry at the government are responsible people with jobs, wives, children, and mortgages. They are not going to risk what they have in a futile attempt to take up arms against the government.
2.) Various federal police entities heavily target serious dissident groups in the country. Go to any meeting of serious dissidents and 1/3rd of the people are likely FBI and/or ATF agents. Often times the biggest agitators in these groups are federal cops trying to entrap people. Anyone seriously talking revolution will quickly wind up arrested and in jail.
3.) The government's monopoly school system is raising generations of idiots who have no clue about what's really wrong in the country.
The ONLY way that any kind of serious armed rebellion could possibly get started is if we wind up with a Weimar Republic style inflation that wipes everyone out. But, given #3 it's just as likely that the vast majority of idiots in the country will listen to leftist demagogues and turn to politicians to save them from the evil "rich". The end result of any calamity is likely to be MORE government control, not less.
If you truly want to protect yourself against the growing tyranny in the U.S., you need to have enough money to park offshore (preferably in multiple countries) and enough money to qualify for permanent residence or citizenship in another country, like Costa Rica, Panama, etc. where you can escape if push comes to shove.
Some of these countries have pretty low bars on what assets you need to live there. Some require that you open a business that employs locals. Others require you to deposit and keep a few tens of thousands of dollars one of their banks. Others just require that you can prove a few hundred dollars a month in annuity income from investments or a pension. Others require that you pay a one time fee of tens of thousands of dollars.
If you don't have the means to do this, you are going to be screwed like everyone else.
So am I actually. What's funny is that I'm probably with you on this issue. I'm disgusted by what's happened here in Japan, and I've actually participated in no nuke protests here. But this is where I live, and it's easier said than done to just move away.
