Scared of Anonymous? NSA chief says you should be...

28. They're scared of Anonymous

because he DOES represent the people, not the government. The group has attacked only sites which, in some way, violate the best interests of the people.

And whether it's a D or an R in the white house, there are so many secrets that work against the citizens of not only the US, but thr world, and, like Wikileaks, the people should know and understand that we need to fear our government, and NOT the groups trying to get out the secrets and show them in broad daylight.

If that makes me an anarchist, so be it--I think of it as a defense against the darker workings and underpinnings of the secret government we're not supposed to know anything about.

The ones Anonymous attacks are the only ones who should be afraid.

I've been told that they're all criminals, and perhaps they are. But I see few in public life who manage to state their philosophy without fear of the consequences of their actions. We have seen the Ds become cowardly and ineffectual, and we have seen the rich and the powerful take even more from us all. For too long, we have been unable to act--now, we see technology being fought by technology, and beating them at their own game.

Anonymous might end up toying with us at some point, but right now, I am very glad that both the group, and Wikileaks are attempting to level the playing field, and bring transparency back to the government.

I have met a lot of people online over the course of 25 years, and I know both some good, and some "bad." I have seen the younger ones taking on giants in the industry and online communities, and more often than not, frustrate the crap out of those who think they are in charge. If a head is lopped off, more will rise to fight. And the thing is, they are from around the world, each one pledging to do what they can to rage against the machine. I would trust one of them more than I would certain governmental agents, who have a greater capacity for screwing up our lives.
