I'm a frequent poster on the site that must not be named that Anonymous originated from. I don't know WHO the "Anonymous" that posted this video is, but the Anonymous I know would NEVER do anything this serious. And aside from the Scientology protests, Anonymous was never really an official group anyway. It was just a default name for posters. The only people saying otherwise were teenagers thinking it was their secret club or something.

In its early form, the concept has been adopted by a decentralized on-line community acting anonymously in a coordinated manner, usually toward a loosely self-agreed goal, and primarily focused on entertainment. Beginning with 2008, the Anonymous collective has become increasingly associated with collaborative, international hacktivism, undertaking protests and other actions, often with the goal of promoting internet freedom and freedom of speech.

If by "the site that must not be named that Anonymous originated from." you mean the site that starts with a number, like 4, and ends with Jackie's last name, that site is essentially Anon Kindergarten.

No need to be sad, the group you long for reinvented themselves as LulzSec, while Anonymous integrated a number of other sites and communities and became more purpose driven.
DeGraw and AmpedStatus is an excellent example of this, it's gone far beyond just being a meme.
Not saying you're wrong, I actually agree, it's NOT like it was in the beginning, now it's evolved and matured to have a purpose instead of just internet havoc.

Anonymous knows that ATS is cointelpro and CIA funded BTW, this is no secret. The only ones that are pretending this is a secret is the moderators and the sock accounts that they use on here. How do i know this? Cant say, pay attention folks and you will know in your heart this is true. The truth will be revealed when it is time.
