Anonymous - Message to the People of the Internet

Hello general public and citizens of the world, this is a message from Anonymous.
Unfortunately, we have reached the point where corporate imperialism has conquered America's political system and corrupted it to the point where politicians are now mere puppets. The American bill of Rights and Constitution are being defiled every single day, and the American Government is exceptionally good at distracting us in the process. By now most of you have heard of the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect I P Act, but The United States Chamber of Commerce continues to negotiate, despite Yahoo willfully removing itself from the Chamber of Commerce. Google is now threatening to do the same.

The creators of the internet did not expect it to become a double edged sword, and when the governments around the world realized that this invention can potentially damage them more then benefit them, they have tried to stop it by any means necessary. Remember that you are also Anonymous, anyone and everyone watching this is a member of Anonymous. All of you, despite race, religion, ideals and preferences, feel the insatiable hunger, deep inside of you, to destroy evil and protect the innocent. You feel the urge to just say no, and do as you wish, for you are supposedly free. You all crave real freedom, as does Anonymous, and you can have it if you wish. But like anything, it won't come to you, you must go out and get it.

Some of you are simply surfing the internet, and some have created vessels and battle ships to take on the harsh oceans of the internet. Both will be critically damaged by these bills.

I am writing this message because this is something very important to me, and it needs global recognition. Please help however you can, use the feeling deep inside of you to make a better world for the next generation, our children, and their children. People are sleeping in the streets, being beaten, pepper sprayed and shot to protect your freedoms. Recognize that, feel the emotions inside of you instead of letting them fade, while watching television and surfing the internet. You are beautiful and brilliant, but you aren't showing it. Your thoughts are amazing and creative, and yet they go unheard. Your ideas are unique, and yet they are never known. This is what the internet is for, expressing yourself and sharing yourself with everyone across the globe.

We, Anonymous, are asking you to take advantage of the freedom of the internet while it lasts, because it may very well change soon. Do not let this happen. The internet is beautiful, ugly, scathing, irresponsible, positive, negative, spiteful and everything else, but that is what makes it so necessary and effective. This is our playground, and we will keep it.

To all who support internet censorship across the globe:

You will fail, be laughed at, ridiculed, and be made fun of in future history classes.

We Are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.
