O novo alvo do grupo de hackers Anonymous é a Irmandade Muçulmana que, segundo o grupo, “está esperando tomar o poder no Egito para tornar uma nova revolução impossível”, comparando o grupo com a Igreja da Cientologia e frisando a separação entre a Irmandade Muçulmana e o islamismo. Segue a íntegra do anúncio, em inglês, que agenda o ataque para a próxima sexta-feira:
Citizens of the World,
We are Anonymous.
Ever since its revolution that shook the world, Egypt has had its fate undecided. Predators who seek to control are waiting to strike at the right moment. They are waiting to take over the country and make it so that another revolution is impossible. We cannot allow this.
The Muslim Brotherhood has become a threat to the revolution Egyptians had fought for, some with their lives. They seek to destroy the sovereignty of the people of Egypt as well as other nations including the United States.
We will not allow this to happen.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a threat that must be dealt with.
This is not a threat towards the religion of Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood, as well as terrorist organizations affiliating with the religion, defiled and destroyed the very essence of what the religion preaches. Therefore, the Muslim Brotherhood does not represent the true ideas of Islam. In our collective, many of us are Muslim, yet we fight against the corruption in society and the injustice that comes with it.
Infused with its blatant, corrupt ways, the Brotherhood is now a threat to the people.
Therefore, Anonymous has decided to destroy the Muslim Brotherhood. We shall proceed to dismantle any form of its organization from the Internet. Nothing will stop us. We will show no mercy.
Operation Brotherhood Takedown, engaged.
We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not Forgive. We do not Forget. Expect Us.
Não custa lembrar também que até há pouco mais de um ano sequer sabíamos da existência do Anonymous. Aliás, há pouco mais de um ano estávamos começando a nos acostumar a ouvir falar num certo Julian Assange…
O Pindura está em sua quarta edição e já pode ser considerado um clássico. Fora que é de Brasília, o que sempre garante uns pontos extras. Agiliza o seu por aqui.
Enfim, sou contra a ocupação. Sempre tive várias críticas ao Movimento Estudantil desde que entrei na USP. Nunca aceitei a partidarização do ME. Me decepciono com a falta de propostas efetivas e com as discussões ultrapassadas da maioria das assembléias. Mas, nada, nada mesmo, justifica o que ocorreu hoje. Nada pode ser explicação pra violência gratuita, pro abuso do poder e, principalmente, pela desumanização da PM.
MJ: I read on your website that one reason for going to France was that you had become disgusted with America. What do you mean by that? RC: Well, the corporatization of culture. We lived in inland California, the Central Valley, and we witnessed over a period of 20 years of this invasion of shopping malls and corporate businesses and everything, and it lost all of its old character. Any kind of authentic character that it had was rapidly getting lost. The expanding urban development was just horrible to behold.
MJ: Have you been following Occupy Wall Street at all? RC: Oh yeah, it’s great stuff. I think they should stay there, and persist and persist until they have some effect. I don’t know what effect they can have. I was thinking about it last night, I was laying in bed, thinking, “Can this thing have any effect on the wealthy establishment?” They’re so entrenched, they’re so powerful. I don’t know if they even care that people go there and demonstrate. What will it take, an armed revolution? That’s violent, and I’m kind of against violence. Violence begets violence, and then you get leaders who are violent men. And you don’t want that. You don’t want some Stalin in there as your left-wing leader. But it’s a great thing to see. I kinda thought that the American youth were very complacent and indifferent about all that, or just didn’t know what to do. But somebody got this thing going.
