This is just a fantastic video! They keep getting better and better, and this one is a personal favorite of mine now. This is a wonderful "fireside chat" video of Mark telling the story of his suggestion to Anonymous/Chanology to be good, and behave in a legal manner. Now, at the time, Chanology was new. It was ruckus and bawdy (aka naughty) in many ways, but considering where it was born, that is a given. So, Anonymous had various prank ideas, which were deemed funny enough, as to get consensus. Believe it or not, consensus was the way back then. So, people might think it funny to send hundreds of black faxes (sending a sheet of black paper over a fax to an Org x 500, to run their printer ink out), or to send a few dozen pizzas, or hookers, or what have you. DDoS, and other hijinks were afoot. So, here comes this OG saying that Anons should be careful as to not mess up. Now, this was already held as a good idea by some Anons, but the 4chan style lols were still alive too, and that was important to some. Almost instantly, he was called Wise Beard Man, or WBM. What he was saying made as much sense as bringing a mask, water bottles and cake to a 4 hour raid. Suddenly and irrevocably, he became a voice of reason. It was unprecedented, and surely will never happen again in the world of Anonymous.
I really loved what Karen says about the underground tunnels that people were drilled to take, should an appearance of Anonymous occur. I had never heard this story! But, I do remember protesting outside an Org and a staff member coming out to say that the more we oppose them, the more they expand. Of course, this turned out to be a lie. But one can't help but notice how they hide and cover their windows when protesters appear. What happened to communicating on any topic? What about shattering SPs and PTS? What about creating a "better" environment as an OT? In reality, they were running and hiding, and having people slip in the back door when protesters arrived.
This video is a must see!
