Yeah, but he brings the tech to it.

My prediction is that Anonymous is in their death throws now but those that emerge from the FBI takedowns, informants and what not will be a harder, more calculating and ruthless group.

If you read some of the stuff on pastebin (Boring IRC chats) you will see that quite often those folks know each other, they talk about their personal lives and past arrests. When you do that it narrows things down a bit and all the Feebs have to do is watch you and compare the logs subpoenaed from an ISP and presence on irc from when you went to the store or were seen through your kitchen window cooking dinner. Those that do not get nailed will be the ones that limit their time in irc (the ones who got arrested spent 8 to 16 hours online and much of it in irc with one another) and never reveal anything about themselves while never not using tor. Those people like that are the ones who blipped offline after the most recent arrests and those left in irc chat are either informants or chumps.

Folks will likely wish for the old Anonymous back. The new ones will not be as entertaining because they will not make videos and upload it to youtube and they probably will not even announce any breech they made.

How do you know that Wildrunner isn't Pol Pot?
I'm not really a proper reporter, due to the chronic lack of discipline, negligible attention span, and a certain juvenile difficulty taking serious things seriously.

That's why I am hoping for an EMP. This will ultimately force it.

Pardon the interloping.
But i cannot tell you how annoyed i am at having to worry about something else.
i just got out of a two day 'safety briefing' thingy on base. (unfortunately, with our pipeline and strong military presence, we are apparently at risk for whatever).
Everyone else is talking about stockpiling necessities and water purification, et al.

I decided all I need is a few pallets of Bota box wine (the cab sav is surprisingly not too bad) and alot of undenatured whey protein.
Screw it. i don't even care if i have water.

So much for 'living off the grid' when it all hits the fan.
No Apologies.
