Citizens of the world,
Anonymous has observed for some time now the trajectory of justice in
the United States with growing concern. We have marked the departure of
this system from the noble ideals in which it was born and enshrined. We
have seen the erosion of due process, the dilution of constitutional
rights, the usurpation of the rightful authority of courts by the
"discretion" of prosecutors. We have seen how the law is wielded less
and less to uphold justice, and more and more to exercise control,
authority and power in the interests of oppression or personal gain.
We have been watching, and waiting.
Two weeks ago today, a line was crossed. Two weeks ago today, Aaron
Swartz was killed. Killed because he faced an impossible choice. Killed
because he was forced into playing a game he could not win -- a twisted
and distorted perversion of justice -- a game where the only winning
move was not to play.
Anonymous immediately convened an
emergency council to discuss our response to this tragedy. After much
heavy-hearted discussion, the decision was upheld to engage the United
States Department of Justice and its associated executive branches in a
game of a similar nature, a game in which the only winning move is not
to play.
Last year the Federal Bureau of Investigation
revelled in porcine glee at its successful infiltration of certain
elements of Anonymous. This infiltration was achieved through the use of
the *same tactics which lead to Aaron Swartz' death. It would not have
been possible were it not for the power of federal prosecutors to
thoroughly destroy the lives of any hacktivists they apprehend through
the very real threat of highly disproportionate sentencing.
As
a result of the FBI's infiltration and entrapment tactics, several more
of our brethren now face similar disproportionate persecution, the
balance of their lives hanging on the severely skewed scales of a broken
justice system.
We have felt within our hearts a burning rage
in reaction to these events, but we have not allowed ourselves to be
drawn into a foolish and premature response. We have bidden our time,
operating in the shadows, adapting our tactics and honing our abilities.
We have allowed the FBI and its masters in government -- both the
puppet and the shadow government that controls it -- to believe they had
struck a crippling blow to our infrastructure, that they had
demoralized us, paralyzed us with paranoia and fear. We have held our
tongue and waited.
With Aaron's death we can wait no longer.
The time has come to show the United States Department of Justice and
its affiliates the true meaning of infiltration. The time has come to
give this system a taste of its own medicine. The time has come for them
to feel the helplessness and fear that comes with being forced into a
game where the odds are stacked against them.
This website was
chosen due to the symbolic nature of its purpose -- the federal
sentencing guidelines which enable prosecutors to cheat citizens of
their constitutionally-guaranteed right to a fair trial, by a jury of
their peers -- the federal sentencing guidelines which are in clear
violation of the 8th amendment protection against cruel and unusual
punishments. This website was also chosen due to the nature of its
visitors. It is far from the only government asset we control, and we
have exercised such control for quite some time...
There has
been a lot of fuss recently in the technological media regarding such
operations as Red October, the widespread use of vulnerable browsers and
the availability of zero-day exploits for these browsers and their
plugins. None of this comes of course as any surprise to us, but it is
perhaps good that those within the information security industry are
making the extent of these threats more widely understood.
Still there is nothing quite as educational as a well-conducted demonstration...
Through this websites and various others that will remain unnamed, we
have been conducting our own infiltration. We did not restrict ourselves
like the FBI to one high-profile compromise. We are far more ambitious,
and far more capable. Over the last two weeks we have wound down this
operation, removed all traces of leakware from the compromised systems,
and taken down the injection apparatus used to detect and exploit
vulnerable machines.
We have enough fissile material for
multiple warheads. Today we are launching the first of these. Operation
Last Resort has begun...
Warhead - U S - D O J - L E A - 2013 .
A E E 256 is primed and armed. It has been quietly distributed to
numerous mirrors over the last few days and is available for download
from this website now. We encourage all Anonymous to syndicate this file
as widely as possible.
The contents are various and we won't
ruin the speculation by revealing them. Suffice it to say, everyone has
secrets, and some things are not meant to be public. At a regular
interval commencing today, we will choose one media outlet and supply
them with heavily redacted partial contents of the file. Any media
outlets wishing to be eligible for this program must include within
their reporting a means of secure communications.
We have not
taken this action lightly, nor without consideration of the possible
consequences. Should we be forced to reveal the trigger-key to this
warhead, we understand that there will be collateral damage. We
appreciate that many who work within the justice system believe in those
principles that it has lost, corrupted, or abandoned, that they do not
bear the full responsibility for the damages caused by their occupation.
It is our hope that this warhead need never be detonated.
However, in order for there to be a peaceful resolution to this crisis,
certain things need to happen. There must be reform of outdated and
poorly-envisioned legislation, written to be so broadly applied as to
make a felony crime out of violation of terms of service, creating in
effect vast swathes of crimes, and allowing for selective punishment.
There must be reform of mandatory minimum sentencing. There must be a
return to proportionality of punishment with respect to actual harm
caused, and consideration of motive and mens rea. The inalienable right
to a presumption of innocence and the recourse to trial and possibility
of exoneration must be returned to its sacred status, and not gambled
away by pre-trial bargaining in the face of overwhelming sentences,
unaffordable justice and disfavourable odds. Laws must be upheld
unselectively, and not used as a weapon of government to make examples
of those it deems threatening to its power.
For good reason
the statue of lady justice is blindfolded. No more should her innocence
be besmirked, her scales tipped, nor her swordhand guided. Furthermore
there must be a solemn commitment to freedom of the internet, this last
great common space of humanity, and to the common ownership of
information to further the common good.
We make this statement
do not expect to be negotiated with; we do not desire to be negotiated
with. We understand that due to the actions we take we exclude ourselves
from the system within which solutions are found. There are others who
serve that purpose, people far more respectable than us, people whose
voices emerge from the light, and not the shadows. These voices are
already making clear the reforms that have been necessary for some time,
and are outright required now.
It is these people that the
justice system, the government, and law enforcement must engage with.
Their voices are already ringing strong with a chorus of determined
resolution. We demand only that this chorus is not ignored. We demand
the government does not make the mistake of hoping that time will dampen
its ringing, that they can ride out this wave of determination, that
business as usual can continue after a sufficient period of lip-service
and back-patting.
Not this time. This time there will be change, or there will be chaos...
