Well, I say 'attacks' capitalism....Gives a lecture on capitalism would be more appropriate.

Well I say 'Anonymous' attacks capitalism.....A video has appeared on youtube that may or may not be traceable to anonymous, but then who is anonymous? That sounds ridiculous............Whatever here is the video!

The message reads: 

To the Syrian people: The world stands with you against the brutal regime of Bashar Al Assad. Know that time and history are on your side - tyrants use violence because they have nothing else, and the more violent they are, the more fragile they become. We salute your determination to be non-violent in the face of the regime's brutality, and admire your willingness to pursue justice, not mere revenge. All tyrants will fall and thanks to your bravery Bashar Al-Assad is next.

To the Syrian military: You are responsible for protecting the Syrian people, and anyone who orders you to kill women, children and the elderly deserves to be tried for treason. No outside enemy could do as much damage to Syria as Bashar Al Assad has done. Defend your country - rise up against the regime! - Anonymous

It is hard to imagine how one corporation could ever have inflicted so much suffering upon humanity and nature. Agent Orange in Vietnam, Patented corn causing 1000's of Mexican farmers to abandon their homes and professions and move to city slums and through desperation getting   caught up in Narco wars or crossing the border to be exploited further by US corporations. US farmers themselves are subject to Monsanto bullies and risk all if they do not accept Monsanto products, farmer suicide rates are staggering, de-figuring and disabling birth defects, needless desertification of previously fertile soils, Agent Orange has recently been reborn, clearing acres of Amazon rainforest and the company has even patented a type of melon. Monsanto like the other big corporations not only buys its American presidents through millions of dollars worth of funding in electoral campaigns but always has a steady feed of former employees in influential roles within the Whitehouse. What could ever go wrong for Monsanto? There is a panoply of reasons people need to rise up against capitalist oppresion and social and environmental injustices and if there was one corporation that could embody so much of what is wrong with our world it is them. In 1994 The North American Free Trade Agreement allowed the company to invade Mexico, cloaked in fake promises. In response the Zapatista Anti-capitalist, pro indigenous movement was born, this was an early and a  historically significant crack in capitalism. Rage against Monsanto has been growing internationally ever since. See www.ecosocialistsunite.com for a full documentary. Now Anonymous is disrupting Monsanto. It is worth noting that Anonymous is a truly anarchistic in its (lack) of structure. Anonymous, I imagine, is a useful label used by any group of hackers. I'm certain there are workers employed by Monsanto that need protecting, but the corporation and what it stands for must be challenged and this is a notable attempt.

To show solidarity with farmers, real food organizations and free-thinking humans, activist group Anonymous recently issued Monsanto a list of demands in the following video:



MSNBC reports that  the hacking collective bombarded the company’s international websites and succeeded in shutting them down for nearly three days.

Anonymous then published this video, showing just how easily they accomplished this sabotage:

Anonymous posted a statement shortly after, detailing their assault:

“Over the last 2 months we have pushed the exposure of hundreds of pages of articles detailing Monsanto’s corrupt, unethical, and downright evil business practices. We blasted their Web infrastructure to **** for two days straight, crippling all three of their mail servers as well as taking down their main Web sites worldwide." 

The group now says it will turn its attention to the expansion of the Canadian tar sands project in Alberta.

Anonymous were integral to the success of the Tunisian and Egyptian Revolutions. They have no leader, they don't know who each other are, the same people may or may not be involved from one action to the next,  They will never initiate any movement but if voices of the people are loud enough and/or freedoms are significantly compromised they will consider intervention.. This video has just appeared on you tube. I cannot confirm it's authenticity.

"It has come to our attention that in Europe and specifically in Spain, Greece, France and Italy, there have been some small uprisings starting. Anonymous would like to remind you that is not an evil force. Anonymous is a force with great power, The power of the people..We are Anonymous, We do not forget, We do not forgive, Expect us - Always
