In the wake of last night’s revelation that everyone in the world has a creepy NSA-shaped stalker, defenders of online liberty and generally angry internet people Anonymous have leaked a treasure trove of NSA documents, including seriously important stuff like the US Department of Defense’s ‘Strategic Vision’ for controlling the internet.
The documents — 13 in total — were posted online, along with an accompanying message full of the normal Anonymous bluster: people won’t be silenced, they have the memory of trivia-master elephants, the governments of the world will fall, your average press release really.

obviously there is an agenda here with them bringing it out in the open then all of a sudden less then a day later ANON go "oh hey guys heres some docs we just hacked!" yeah right
this is fishy as high hell.

Thats exactly what I have been thinking. I think they have been created to justify the clampdown on "internet terrorism" aka free speech and the free flow of information.

Right, because the government WANTS the people to completely distrust everything they do, right?
Obama could really use some negative publicity right now, and GCHQ doesn't have enough to do in the wake of Lee Rigby's death that they NEED the attention of the entire public on them.
Unless you can offer some evidence for you belief that this is "fishy" (or even some common sense, for that matter) I'm gonna go with the US being caught with their fingers in the cookie jar.edit on 7-6-2013 by Rocker2013 because: (no reason given)

Maybe people like David Icke, Alex Jones and the rise of the "conspiracy theorist" and now Anonymous are simply doing a job which is to sow the seeds of discontent and actually create a revolution, it wouldnt be the first time.

And what would be the purpose of creating a revolution? If that were the case don't you think that would have happened by now and that there would be far easier ways to do it?
A revolution in the USA would sink the $ overnight, the markets would crash, thousands of those elites we all know rule everything would be almost destitute within days.
I often see these fantasies being raised on ATS, but there never seems to be any actual thought behind them, other than the lust for excitement. Offer me some logic and reason for these things to happen and then maybe I could see some point to it, but just suggesting there's a manufactured revolution is based in nothing but brainfarts.

Also, be careful of the download links folks. The first mirror link tried to install some exe file, probably some kind of downloader that we don't want, I presume that might include "spyware" or something, LOL. Then I tried the last one and it worked fine, it was just a zip file.

That's right. But remember Arbritageur, they're ATSers... They'd probably click on anything marked "gov"...
