“I took the risk of getting arrested because I feel the powers that be, whoever they might be — on all levels of government and those who hold corporate power — are not listening because not enough people are actually taking a stance against foreclosures.” Brandon Baxter
FreeAnons is launching #OpValentine, which is an effort to send incarcerated Anonymous, activists, and political prisoners Valentines. As a society, the most ominous question that Anonymous actions ask to all of us, techies and techtards is: when doing solely what is legal stops to be moral? That is for you, the reader, to answer. Many Anons and activists dare crossing the line. Of course the Corporate State will spin its own yarn for popular consumption which will be repeated by the usual status quo mouthpieces. It seems unavoidable, since Socrates was condemned to drink hemlock, that those who hold the power try to reframe our experience, making us doubt our own heart and our own conscience. What cannot be doubted is that these people never committed a violent crime and never acted for personal profit but out of moral conviction. Their engagement comes loaded with possible consequences. Many have already been arrested and are serving jail sentences for having the courage to stand. With #OpValentine, we want to remind Jeremy, Christopher, Josh, Barrett and all the others that they may be behind bars, but they are not left behind as long as we stand with them and for them.
