DEAR JOURNALISTS
OF THE WORLD,
You were intrigued
by us when we took on the financial sector by attacking Visa, Mastercard, and
Paypal as part of Operation Payback. Many of you became enamoured with us during
Operation Tunisia and applauded our efforts. Some of you are now paying close
attention to Operation Algeria. We know that we have gained support from even a
few of you. Those few are hoping against hope that our unconventional methods
will continue to have an effect on people, perhaps even the world. Those few
admire us, if for no other reason than the fact that, in a world full of apathy,
a world filled with people who don't even bother to read the information you
painstakingly present, we are trying to do something. This intrigues you. At the
very least, it inspires you to keep an eye on us, hoping we continue to take
newsworthy actions.
You know that,
whether you are risking your own safety - perhaps even your own life - to share
the truth, or whether you are beholden to your dictators or your advertisers,
unable to write anything they do not approve, we, Anonymous, are on your side
and are fighting for you and your freedoms. You, the journalists, reporters, and
bloggers. You, the newspapers, television networks and websites who hunt down
and disseminate information. We are fighting for you.
Some of you have
recorded milestones of our efforts. Some of you have reported upon them, and
some of you have even participated in our fight. You are the press, and you have
our gratitude.
We need your help
now. From North Africa to Gaza, people are rising up and risking their lives to
demand nothing more than basic rights, an end to the corruption, and a fair
chance to progress in life. What the Western world is unaware of, and the
Western media largely ignores, is the fact that the people protesting and the
people dying in the Arab world are just like them. They have the same desire for
basic freedoms, similar ambitions for themselves and for their family and
friends, the same inherent intelligence and, the same keen sense of injustice as
their counterparts in the West when oppressed.
Here is where we
need your help. We ask you, the journalists, to bring to the rest of the world
the humanity of these revolutions. What we are witnessing are not extremist acts
that are committed by misled, ignorant people. Indeed, they are committed by
intelligent, but desperate people - people willing to sacrifice themselves in
order to inspire their fellow citizens to rally against their oppressors. The
world needs human news. The world needs to know who it is that needs their
support, and not just the number of casualties or the politics
involved.
What we ask is
simple. There are people protesting in Algeria, Egypt, Yemen, Albania, Libya,
and many other countries at this very moment. Tell us who they are and what it
is they want for their country and their people, for now and in the future. So
many voices are raised in protest right now and all the world can hear is the
noise. Tell us what the people are saying.
Some of you will
ignore this message. It announces no new operations, as we are still focusing
our efforts on Operation Algeria. This message issues no threats, as you are the
press and are always safe from us. If you heed our request, however, it could
make all the difference in the world, as it made a difference for the Tunisians
to know that they were speaking and the world was hearing their message. Help us
do this for Algeria, Egypt, and other countries where the people are imploring
to be heard.
Signed,
Anonymous.
We are
Anonymous.
We do not forgive
the denial of basic human rights.
We do not forget
those who assist the oppressed.
To the Tyrannical
governments of the world... Expect us.
