It’s Official, “Anonymous” Hackers are Now Controlled Opposition [video included]
A hacking group claiming to be part of “Anonymous” has announced the successful takeover of Iran’s servers, which seems like a huge amount of work put into an agenda that seems to stray dramatically far away from their declared war on the Global Banking Cartel.
Raw Story is reporting today that the shadowy hacktivist group “Anonymous” has proudly announced that it has full control over Iran’s servers while releasing thousands of internal government emails. After their manifesto declaring war on the international banking cartel, this turn against one of the only holdouts to joining that cartel raises speculation of their true intent. Raw Story reports the motives as follows:
In a chat with Raw Story, members of Anonymous on the #OpIran server said they were leading the charge because they want Iranians to know they’re not alone in their struggle against the regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
…Apart from the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the hackers said they were targeting servers containing information about the Kahrizak detention center in Iran, a notorious site human rights campaigners have raised alarms about for years.
Anonymous released a video extolling their fight for the human rights work they’re doing for the Iranian people:
The extreme level of work and expertise that would have had to go into such a massive cyber takeover would surely be driven by a motive much greater than protecting human rights. Especially given that regimes in Saudi Arabia and Israel have been far more brutal to their local civilian populations than Iran.
This claim reeks of a Western-backed scheme, as it’s obvious they have been desperate to figure out a way to get public support for regime change in Iran for decades. And their intentions have nothing to do with democracy or human rights violations and everything to do with banking and oil control, and domination — both of which “Anonymous” has supposedly declared war on.
Anonymous has tipped their hand with this play and it will cost them huge credibility within the growing movement of fully aware protesters who truly know the score. Iran is not the enemy of the global freedom movement, nor are they remotely an enemy of WikiLeaks, nor are they a threat to cyber infrastructure anywhere. It’s obvious that sophisticated hackers have infiltrated Anonymous to incite more conflict with another non-aggressive oil-rich country. In a strange coincidence, the Guardian reported today that 1 in 4 hackers is an FBI informant.
Or, perhaps, the Anonymous group has always been “controlled opposition.” Either way, it’s clear they’ll have a role to play in the unfolding cyberwar — but it’s beginning to appear that they will work for the establishment.
ACTA Has Been Defeated! [video]

The European Parliament has voted against the controversial ACTA bill which was seeking to block the free flow of information on the internet. This is a huge victory for freedom fighters all over the world but there is still work that needs to be done. Two weeks ago Bill C-11 passed the House of Commons here in Canada and is on the way to the Senate so now is the time to follow the example of the Europeans and to put a stop to the provisions which seek to control the way that we send and receive information.

We should not kid ourselves about the challenges that we face in the coming years. It was a small oligarchical faction that by and large shaped the public’s understanding of the world in the previous information paradigm, one in which a handful of centralized corporate entities controlled almost all of the information that the average person read, heard or watched on any given day. That faction’s constituency congregates at the CFR, or Chatham House, or Bilderberg, and they are still economically powerful. The media moguls, corporate chieftains, and corrupt politicians who have the most to lose in this information revolution know which side their bread is buttered on and know that in order to maintain the control over society that they once enjoyed, they will have to restrict the freedom we presently enjoy online. Whether that is through “Internet ID” or domain-level censorship or something else entirely, we know that our ability to exchange information freely online is a freedom that we cannot take lightly.

The UN International Telecommunications Union is Next Danger to Internet Freedom
by Susanne Posel, Contributor
Activist Post
June 1, 2012
In a few months, Dubai will be the stage for a potential firestorm with the Internet at the center.
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is an extension of the UN that has the control over the Internet in mind. What the UN would like to do to the Internet makes SOPA and PIPA seem like harmless legislation.
Both parties of the UN Congress met and agreed to resist the attempt of the UN to usurp the Web “with everything [they] have”.
Member of the Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade Subcommittee (CMTS) released a resolution that admonished the US government to take a stance on global governance that “clearly articulates the consistent and unequivocal policy of the United States to promote a global Internet free from government control and preserve and advance the successful multi-stakeholder model that governs the Internet today.”
Fred Upton, member of the CMTS said:
The Internet has become this economic and social juggernaut not because governmental actors willed it to be so, but because the government took a step back and let the private sector drive its evolution. International regulatory intrusion into the Internet would have disastrous results not just for the United States, but for people around the world.
Seems that when controlling the Internet is not coming from the Big Brother usurpers within the US government, Capitol Hill gets a bit concerned. For quite some time now, the House and the Senate have been promoting SOPA and PIPA that would give law makers untold power over Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and copyright protection that could shut down any website on an assertion (regardless of the evidence to prove it). Not to mention moving to abolish the 1st Amendment on the Web with over-reaching Orwellian restriction.
The UN’s ITU proclaims that because the Internet is a “global entity” that the UN should have jurisdiction over it, manage its abilities according to global UN standards, and engage restrictions that could be installed at the fundamental level of the Internet to prevent any infractions of international mandates.
The UN wants to include the domain-name system along with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which is currently a privately owned US non-profit organization.
Hamadoun Toure, the ITU secretary-general, stated that:
When an invention becomes used by billions across the world, it no longer remains the sole property of one nation, however powerful that nation might be.
ICANN operates now as a multi-stakeholder that involves groups like the Internet Engineering Task Force and the World Wide Web Consortium. Despite critics and alleged conflicts of interest, the expansion of top-level domains, this action is a sort of “land grab” for domain names.
Vinton Cerf, TCP/IP developer and Chief Internet Evangelist at Google, spoke before a congressional subcommittee where he stated that giving the UN power of control over the Internet would subject the Internet to the decisive ideals of an international body who has no intention of preserving the free flow of information. This action would end free speech on the Internet.
Cerf said:
Such a move holds profound – and I believe potentially hazardous – implications for the future of the Internet and all of its users. If all of us do not pay attention to what is going on, users worldwide will be at risk of losing the open and free Internet that has brought so much to so many.
It is expected that the ITU would begin a sort of taxation that international telecommunications corporations would be expected to pay for the ITU’s handling of web traffic as it flows across the world. ITU members would be privy to the newfound cash flow that would be in the hands of international governance; which could begin to line the pockets of the UN in record time.
In the Wall Street Journal, Robert McDowell spoke about the egregious countries who belong to the ITU and the restraint of freedom that will surely follow if the UN is allowed to govern the Internet.
McDowell wrote:
[L]et’s face it, strong-arm regimes are threatened by popular outcries for political freedom that are empowered by unfettered Internet connectivity. They have formed impressive coalitions, and their efforts have progressed significantly
Groups like the Internet Society and the Center for Democracy and Technology have submitted many petitions that bring attention to the UN’s agenda to seize control over the Web. AccessNow urges, “release your preparatory documents; recognize the role of the user, and reject any proposals that might centralize control of the Internet.”
The UN and the ITU are powerful international agencies whose interests over the Internet are far more controlling than SOPA and PIPA were ever meant to be.
Without action taken now, in December of this year, the Internet as we know it will disappear not long after the meeting in Dubai.
