Anonymous declares war against Wall Street

[Bearcat]

Greetings, Institutions of the Media.

We are Anonymous.

The events transpiring within Wall Street have caught our eye.

It seems that the government and Federal agencies enjoy enforcing the law a little bit too much. They instate unjust laws as mindless automatons, blindly following orders with soulless precision.

We witness the Government enforcing the laws that punish the 99% while allowing the 1% to escape justice, unharmed, for their crimes against the people.

We have observed this same Government failing to enforce even the minimal legal restraints of Wall Street’s abuses. This Government who has willingly ignored the greed at Wall Street has even bailed out the perpetrators that have caused our crisis.

We will not stand by and watch the system take over our way of life.

We the people shall stand against the government’s inaction.

We the people will not be witnesses to your corruption and ill gotten profits.

We will not labor for your leisure.

We will not assist you in any way.

This is why we choose to declare our war against the New York Stock Exchange. We can no longer stay silent as the population is being exploited and forced to make sacrifices in the name of profit.

We will show the world that we are true to our word. On October 10th, NYSE shall be erased from the Internet. On October 10th, expect a day that will never, ever, be forgotten.

Oh man, when I read this, it caught my attention immediately. This should be very interesting to say the least. I can't even imagine the ramifications of something like this if they can pull it off.

Part of me agrees with you Ted, while the other part is concerned about the consequences to ordinary investors like myself. I guess we may just find out.

Let's see some action.

As mentioned it's the ramifications that are at stake, and peoples lives, the knock on effect, what makes anoymous, anybetter than the other gangsters... i would rather the police where doing jobs to protect people from real crime rather than chasing after these idiots..

in principle i agree with the point they make but not the way they do it..all fun and games untill some-one gets hurt.

If somehow they did manage to disrupt Wall Street, it would sure cause some big head aches for the stock markets. With billions of shares being traded daily it couldn't help but be disruptive and you can be sure it would bring some real heat against the perpetrators.

If you hurt the "little people" in trying to hurt the "big people", you will incur the wrath of the populace. Screw with the average workers 401k or retirement investments, and you will soon be the enemy.

I don't believe these people are acting on their convictions, but rather are delighting in what they can do. Regardless of whether they should do a thing or not. I liken them to those who take advantage of a celebration, or legitimate protest to trash and loot. I doubt many see them as shining nights, but more of dangerous troublemakers. A Guy

I totally agree with you A Guy. From the beginning, I always thought Anonymous was doing this kind of thing simply because they could, and not from any conviction about bettering society. That is just a lame excuse IMHO.
