Greetings from Anonymous,
The Westboro Baptist Church announced plans to picket a memorial service taking place in New York City for Aaron Swartz. Operation Angel has moved into a new phase of our operation and we’re giving the WBC as much attention as they deserve: none. We encourage Anonymous to attend the memorial service and show their support to the growing number of people who believe in Aaron’s legacy. However, our primary responsibility is to protect that legacy by ensuring the ideas he lived for are used to put an end to the malicious prosecution of online activists. We will remain focused and not compromise this mission by surrendering our vision of justice for the opportunity to patronize a small hate group.
Please show your support for Aaron Swartz by attending a protest on the 25th of January at the following locations:
Boston, MA — The John Joseph Moakley Courthouse, Address: 1 Courthouse Way, Boston, MA. Time: 3pm EST.
Washington D.C. — Address: 600 Pennsylvania Ave. Time: 3pm EST
Other Updates:
Due to the verified existence of law enforcement surveillance, the hacktivist team that had previously dedicated themselves to digital protests against the Department of Justice on behalf of Aaron Swartz will not complete their demonstration. The names of the hactivist group and law enforcement agency are not being released. There are many others who have already used the internet to show support by compromising MIT’s networks and releasing documents from JSTOR’s servers, the very crime Aaron was accused of. Independent actions such as these are likely to continue and we commend the bravery of the groups involved.
That is all.
