My friends.

Around the world, an underground community of IT guys, science fiction writers and others, have finally had enough of corporate masters trying to fit us into their stupid system. Did you know that 400 people in America control more 50% of the wealth? Just 400 people. Don't believe me? The link is right here:

"Four hundred obscenely wealthy individuals, 400 little Mubaraks -- most of whom benefited in some way from the multi-trillion-dollar taxpayer bailout of 2008 -- now have more cash, stock and property than the assets of 155 million Americans combined."

http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2011/mar/10/michael-moore/michael-moore-says-400-americans-have-more-wealth-/

That's right. A few big arseholes control all the wealth, while most of the rest of us live on chickenfeed on the bones on our arses, slogging away at crappy 'nothing' jobs most of our lives, Imagine being forced to wipe floors at McDonalds, or serve coffee at Starbucks for the rest of your natural lives... that's the reality of a great many people at the bottom. And are the rest of the majority really in a much better position? -

Ask yourselves if you want to be virtual 'toilet boys' for the rest of your natural lives, slogging your backside off for 20 bucks an hour for banks and other big institutions who have been f**king you up the arse and ripping you all off for years.

I'm here to inform you that there's an alternative. As proof this is the real deal, I point to the activities of 'anonymous', a group of underground hackers who have been taking action against big corporates in hack attacks and other recent acts of civil disobedience. And they have the support of respected academics.

IEET is a non-profit organization of scientists and activists exploring technology issues. Here is an article about the 'anon' hacker group:

"Anonymous, which began as a movement in 2003 on a series of Internet chat boards, has gone from targeting small time hypocrites to large multinational corporations bringing it from the background of hacker culture to the forefront of global politics."

"Anonymous is considered a “hacktivist” movement that became globally recognized in 2010 after shutting down Mastercard, Visa, and Paypal during what they called Operation Payback."

Read this recent poll on the IEET website.

"Three out of four respondents to a recently concluded IEET reader poll say they strongly support the activist work of groups like Anonymous."

So I think you can see that lots of folks are really looking for alternatives to the current status quo right now, which many think is a pretty crappy system.

Hacking can be a force for good. It's simply the idea of creative rebellion, the idea that you are not going to neccesserily blindly follow the system, that you can think outside the box.

I have declared the hackers manifesto:

"A world without imagination and aesthetic taste is a world ruled by mindless rules, intolerable limitations and endless boredom, both internal (psychological) and external (social). A world mired in illusion (’The Matrix’). But there is no need to play by such rules. Outside the box of self-imposed confinement lie infinite vistas of beauty and excitement that we can scarely imagine. It’s time to awaken from the Matrix! If the rules are not in our favor, the rules will have to be broken. And the power that must be harnessed is the power of the mind itself, not just rationality, but something even greater, the power of imagination."

“I’ve seen an agent punch through a concrete wall. Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air. Yet their strength and their speed are still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be.”

-Morpheus, ‘The Matrix’

I ask that you think about what I have said. Just consider the ideas for now as entertaining food for thought.


Hell yes! Take them rich people down and feed me there money!
