"You cannot waterdown us, there are too many of us."



"While the Anonymous self-imposed title of "Legion" may have seemed like little more than a cliché to the casual reader, the data indicate otherwise. And while popular headlines may suggest that "the world is at cyberwar with America" and other enemies of Wikileaks, the data show that a vast number of Americans are on board with Anonymous ideals. As numbers grow, use of the term "Legion" begins to look less like a metaphor than an accurate description."

Let's play the hypothetical game. Let's say that they do find every single person that has been involved in illegal Anonymous operations (although what is considered "illegal" may become a bit sketchy), what are they going to do with all of these people? In mid-December, LOIC downloads topped 43,000 IN ONE WEEK. Now these are probably not all being used in support of Anonymous, but either way that's going to be a lot of people. And there's no possible way to find everybody with proxies, VPNs, and everything that people will use to hide who they are. Supporters keep growing. Anonymous can't be stopped. And if it is, than a new Anonymous will just emerge from it. People will only be oppressed to a certain length before revolt becomes a must.


What Really Happened in Bil'in

This is a disturbing portrayal of a protest in Bil'in. Heavy tear gas (that appeared to be more powerful than normal) and violence at a clearly nonviolent protest.
