Anonymous' counterattack against HBGary and the network of federal contractors and even government agencies that colluded in unethical and perhaps illegal activities in an effort to destroy Glenn Greenwald, Wikileaks, and various unions has yielded a number of victories for decency and transparency. Still, our work - which is yours as well - is far from over. Thus it is that we invite you to consider the following:
1. Facebook heavy Peter Thiel is pimping the firm Palantir, in which he has invested quite heavily, as the next big thing.
2. Palantir was involved in the HBGary affair, itself one of the most incredible and ostentatious conspiracies to have been revealed in years.
3. Nonetheless, Palantir initially "cut off ties" from HBGary in such a way as to leave the blame with that firm...
4. ... despite the fact that their own employee, who was presumably not working unsupervised despite insane claims to the contrary by Palantir, was heavily involved in some of the most disgusting plans.
5. After we discovered the extent of his role, I contacted Steckman via e-mail to provide terms of surrender a couple Fridays ago (and forwarded to press to protect myself). I received a call from the firm's head counsel an hour later (which I recorded and provided to a journalist, again to protect myself). He and I agreed on a conference call for 1:00 pm EST the next day - one which they seem to have decided not to attend.
6. Palantir is lying.
7. What follows is a guide, prepared by Anonymous lawyers (seriously - we have those now) which I have provided to Glenn Greenwald and other relevant parties. Now is the time to distribute it in such a way as to help ensure that a firm like Palantir does not end up being any sort of Facebook or even a ChipsAhoy.com.
8. By downloading an IRC client and joining irc.anonops.in #anonleaks, anyone may also join us in our targeted rampage against the parties that have engaged in what I would refer to as the "politics of personal destruction" were Anonymous not so rightly intent on the personal destruction of those who brought the U.S. to this sad and degenerate age.
9. We do not forgive.
10. We do not forget.
