Next Anonymous target is Wall Street, but they’re going offline
Rather than using the virtual roads of the Internet, Anonymous is taking to the streets of New York in its next denial of service attack. Rather than blocking traffic to specific websites, Anonymous said that plans to block access to Wall Street in the streets of New York City next month, and is calling on its followers to do the same.
On September 17, Anonymous plans to join an existing campaign that is being promoted by Adbusters and Culture Jammers under the S17 banner. Followers are asked to bring tents and portable kitchens in order to create a “peaceful” barricade using the “the nonviolent Tahrir-acampadas model.” Anonymous is also asking its followers to “Bring Tent.”
“…flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few months,” Anonymous states in a video uploaded to YouTube (embedded below). “Once there, we shall incessantly repeat one simple demand in a plurality of voices. We want Freedom. This is a Non Violent protest, we do not encourage violence in any way. The abuse and corruption of corporations, Banks and Governments ENDS HERE!!”
In addition to New York City, Adbusters and Culture Jammers reports that its campaign will also cover simultaneous occupations of financial districts in Madrid, Milan, London, Paris and San Francisco.
“With a bit of luck, this list of participating cities will expand,” the group states. “If we can pull together just the right mix of nonviolence, tenacity and strategic smarts, S17 could be the beginning of the global revolution we’ve all been dreaming about for so long … wouldn’t that be lovely.”
