Anonymous Issues Emergency Call to Action: "Phase II of Operation Defense"

Anonymous Issues Emergency Call to Action: "Phase II of Operation Defense"
Mon, 4/30/2012 - by Occupy.com

In response to Thursday's passage of the Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act, or CISPA, in the U.S. House of Representatives, Anonymous issued an emergency message calling on U.S. citizens to protest the latest anti-Constitutional legislation that will allow for detailed information-sharing about individuals between private companies and the government. According to Tech Dirt, the so-called cybersecurity bill would allow government:

"To search information it collects under CISPA for the purposes of investigating American citizens with complete immunity from all privacy protections as long as they can claim someone committed a 'cybersecurity crime.' Basically it says the Fourth Amendment does not apply online. Moreover, the government could do whatever it wants with the data as long as it can claim that someone was in danger of bodily harm, or that children were somehow threatened--again, notwithstanding absolutely any other law that would normally limit the government's power."

Issuing "Phase II of Operation Defense," Anonymous is calling on Americans nationwide to "destroy this corrupt legislation" through coordinated physical demonstrations outside of the corporations that have openly supported CISPA.

"We will not stand while our rights are being taken away," a computerized voice on the video states.

What follows is a detailed list of the tech, banking, consumer and credit card companies most strongly pushing the legislation, and the dates for sustained protests outside their buildings of operation for two months between May 1 and June 30:

AT&T, May 1-4 IBM, May 4-7 Intel, May 8-13 Microsoft, May 14-19 Verizon Wireless, May 20-26 Bank of America, May 27-June 2 Chase Bank, June 3-6 McGraw-Hill, June 7-10 Pepsi-Coca Cola, June 11-14 Target, June 15-20 Walmart, June 21-25 CVS, June 26-28 Mastercard, Visa and American Express, June 29-30

"Phase II will follow the same organization as the demonstrations that were done against the Church of Scientology," the video states, a reference to the collective's devastating sunlight campaign exposing the Church of Scientology.

"Find organizers or organize the event yourself," the video urges. "You have the right to protest if you care about your freedom of speech, your right to privacy and your government censoring you."

See you in the streets.
