You are now breathing manually.
Six months ago, various law enforcement bodies began an investigation into some of our participants, many of whom have been instrumental in Anonymous' nearly month-long campaign to assist North African activists in their struggle for liberty. That investigation led to the serving of some 40 search warrants and subpeonas. Unlike those among the powerful whose own alleged crimes are dealt with in a manner somewhat more accomodating, most of those who had their equipment seized and their presences demanded are without the resources necessary to acquire any adequate defense.
The world and its media should make no mistake about it; this is a David and Goliath situation. Or, rather, it would be such a thing were it not for the fact that that Anonymous has assembled a team of legal advisors including representatives from the National Lawyers Guild, a certain private practice attorney whose hobbies include arguing on cable, and several other parties that will be named in the coming days; that this nascent network has been assembled in less than 24 hours and will soon be joined by other parties possessing similar expertise; and that meanwhile we shall take the opportunity to turn this grand jury investigation into a media circus the likes of which the U.S. has not seen in days, if not four or five of them. We will recruit for the benefit of our North African operations; we will pepper news outlets with avant garde press releases and off-color insults directed at Robert Gibbs; we will rally outside of the most pretentious restaurants in New York in costumes that make no sense to anyone present; and we will otherwise assist the global law enforcement community in their apparent quest to bring Anonymous the notoriety it needs if we are to finish our work in time for Elder Scrolls V, which we understand is to be set in Skyrim.
We look forward to charming members of our world's sexually attractive press corp at irc.anonops.ru, #reporter. Feds, meanwhile should report to #feds.
