Being an infrequent reader of the printed press, there was much that caught my eye, not least the very different emphasis on news presented therein compared to what I stumble across [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2012/02/04/modern-comparitive-hypocrisy/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2012/01/22/a-green-revolution/ http://www.anonymong.org/2012/01/22/a-green-revolution/#comments Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:13:50 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=2066 A recent post by Fausty reminded me that I’d written this a while back, so… enjoy. As many people have observed one of the best ways for an individual to very quietly combat the creeping power of the state is to “starve the beast”, don’t give it any money you don’t have to.

It would seem that to they’d like to give the police yet more power: “This three-part consultation seeks your views on the areas of police powers which the government is committed to reviewing: – the relevance of the word ‘insulting‘ in section 5 of the [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2012/01/12/sneaky-sneaky-very-sneaky-2/feed/ 5 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/12/30/who-are-anonymous-fighting/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/12/30/who-are-anonymous-fighting/#comments Fri, 30 Dec 2011 14:52:42 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=2112 As I’m sure I’ve mentioned before I don’t really think all that much of “anonymous” or at least of their public actions. I can’t help but think they are at best well intentioned idiots – with, much like wikileaks, little concern for the collateral damage they cause as long as they get headlines.
