2. I must admit some reservations about registering on a site for a group called Anonymous.

I know I am always suspecting my own government of subterfuge.
But only because they are so good at it.

You know...
it's the old "Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't watching" bit.

3. For sure, cyberpj. Do you remember the days of DU's very own Agent Mike? nt

11. You mean he's not here anymore? I just read someone's thread where he was still

getting attention. Hmmm... Still, I suspect we have quite a few 'agents' these days.

6. Enough with the guy fauks mask

Utter bullshit. 'Guy' is not a good example to base a movement on if you know his fate. This whole thing stinks.

Stop fascism, yes, but not this fishy way with bad symbolism. Don't be fools people. Stop the 1%, but with good, strong, winning methods, not some old loser symbolism.

The mask is perfect. Watch the movie. I love it. Then again I support Occupy & Anonymous in almost anything they decide to do.

8. It's spelled Fawkes. And the original mask is from the film "V" where a lone anarchist used Fawkes

as a role model. The mask doesn't actually represent Fawkes but it represents the character from the film "V" who was fighting a tyrannical governmet.

Some say it was first used by the group Anonymous. If so, from there it spread to the Occupy and 99% movements as a symbol of protest against tyranny and it's perfect for that because that was the basis for the actions of the character "V".

BTW, here is an article about the maker of the mask and his feelings on it's current use:

snip-
The masks are from the 2006 film V for Vendetta where one is worn by an enigmatic lone anarchist who, in the graphic novel on which it is based, uses Fawkes as a role model in his quest to end the rule of a fictional fascist party in the UK.

Early in the book V destroys the Houses of Parliament by blowing it up, something Fawkes had planned and failed to do in 1605.

British graphic novel artist David Lloyd is the man who created the original image of the mask for a comic strip written by Alan Moore. Lloyd compares its use by protesters to the way Alberto Korda's famous photograph of Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara became a fashionable symbol for young people across the world.

"The Guy Fawkes mask has now become a common brand and a convenient placard to use in protest against tyranny - and I'm happy with people using it, it seems quite unique, an icon of popular culture being used this way," he says.
