This should set a few cabalistic fireworks off....


“Now it's time to occupy everywhere”*says the video named*“Anonymous #NOV5TH 2013 – the lion sleeps no more”*posted on Youtube. It calls for*“a day of global civil disobedience”*to mark Guy Fawkes Day in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The video urges to*‘relight the flame of protest’*and claims that unions from around the world are supporting actions of Anonymous and the Occupy movement, adding*‘austerity means war.’November 5 commemorates Guy Fawkes' failed 1605 Gunpowder Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London.Last year’s protest on November 5 launched by Anonymous gathered hundreds of supporters in London’s Trafalgar Square, according to RT’s London Bureau, for Operation Vendetta - a march to the Houses of Parliament.People were carrying banners that read*“We are Anonymous. We are the legion”*and*“Stop creating imaginary debt!”A rash of cyber-attacks were reported the same day on Australian government sites and Argentina’s government bank. Anonymous also claimed to have stolen some 28,000 passwords and other confidential information from US based company Paypal, however the company disputed the hack. Another cyber-attack was reportedly launched against the website of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to draw attention*“to election manipulation in the Ukraine.”*Hackers also reportedly targeted US company Trapwire and European analogue INDECT, which develop software that can access closed-circuit cameras to monitor citizens’ movements. On November 6 an Anonymous affiliated group identified as*“pyknic”**hacked several sites for the US TV network NBC , however the sites were quickly restored.Anonymous hactivists have long supported the Occupy movement and used web technologies and social media, like Facebook and Twitter, to accelerate the rhythm of protests. The social network users apply hashtags such as*#OccupyWallSt, #OWS*or*#Occupy*which help to coordinate the demonstrations.The Anonymous supporters, and Occupy Wall Street protesters wear stylized Guy Fawkes masks - featured prominently in*‘V for Vendetta’comic series and film – which were adopted as a universal symbol against tyranny.* The masks have also been used during the mass protests in the Arab countries, and have been banned by some states, such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.The Occupy movement began two years ago as a campaign against large corporations and the global financial system that control the world in a way that disproportionately benefits the minority and undermines democracy. The Occupy slogan*‘we are the 99%’*refers to the concentration of wealth among the 1% of income earners compared to the majority.The first Occupy protest was the Occupy Wall Street in New York City's Zuccotti Park, which began on 17 September 2011, similar actions have taken place all over the world.*

That should hack a few people off.....cant wait to see the fireworks!

Southeast Asian Sites Hacked Before Global Anonymous Protest

The Anonymous hacker group stepped up cyber attacks across Southeast Asia, targeting websites in the Philippines and Singapore before a global protest today against censorship and government corruption.

Anonymous Philippines said it infiltrated 115 government websites before a demonstration outside congress in Quezon City as part of a global “Million Mask March,” coinciding with Guy Fawkes Day in the U.K. The mask of Fawkes, who tried to blow up the English Parliament in the 17th century, has become a symbol of the movement. Seventy riot police were on hand at the start of the protest, outnumbering demonstrators more than 3-to-1.

Anonymous Philippines has called on the public to join the “revolution” today. “The government, in many ways, has failed its citizens,” the group said on its Facebook page. “Fairness, justice and freedom are more than just words.”

In Singapore, a website owned by the city’s biggest newspaper publisher was temporarily shut yesterday after being hacked on Nov. 1. A video uploaded on the YouTube website last week showed a person in a Guy Fawkes mask threatening to bring down Singapore’s infrastructure to protest Internet regulations.
Anonymous Indonesia said on its Twitter page that it had infiltrated more than 100 Australian sites in response to reports of spying by Australia.

‘Misreporting Rumors’

“I do not see this as a people’s power but more of a few people going after those with power in the system through clandestine means,” said Bridget Welsh, an associate professor of political science at the Singapore Management University. “Cyber issues reflect a major arena of political contestation that will only intensify in the years ahead.”
The threats in the Philippines have prompted President Benigno Aquino’s government to say that it will take action against those who hack websites to protest corruption. The Singapore police said government websites are down for “maintenance” and warned against “misreporting” of “rumors.”

Anonymous has stepped up its criticism in the Philippines as Aquino’s government remains embroiled in a scandal over the misuse of public funds. Prosecutors have recommended corruption-related charges against a group of lawmakers and a businesswoman related to the alleged improper use of funds that lawmakers doled out at their discretion on infrastructure and development projects.

Newspaper Hacked
“There is sufficient democratic space, so there’s no need to resort to illegal acts,” Philippines’ Communications Secretary Sonny Coloma told reporters in Manila yesterday.
Singapore Press Holdings Ltd. (SPH) said it was investigating after some users had difficulty accessing the Straits Times online yesterday. The website was infiltrated last week by a hacker who said the newspaper distorted Anonymous’s position by saying the group is at war with Singapore instead of with its government. Singapore Press confirmed that infiltration.

Singapore from June 1 required websites that regularly publish news on the city state to be licensed and pay a S$50,000 ($40,200) bond, to be forfeited on the publication of “prohibited content” that “undermines racial or religious harmony.” The new laws has prompted criticism from Anonymous.

On Alert
Singapore government agencies were put on alert for possible attacks, the Straits Times reported on Nov. 1. The Messiah, a hacker with Anonymous, claimed responsibility for infiltrating the website of the Ang Mo Kio Town Council last week, the municipal branch of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s constituency.

The city’s Infocomm Development Authority said in a statement yesterday that maintenance on Nov. 2 uncovered a fault involving “a routing issue and a hardware failure” that affected some government websites and was later fixed. Government agencies have been on “heightened vigilance” because of the threats, according to the statement.

I would love to know which sweat shops have made the masks. After all, must have been mass production and could perhaps be re badged as the "million man labour camp, masquerading as anti establishment but still covertly (or inadvertently [you decide]) supporting that very beast" .

Not as catchy or saleable though ey?
