Dear #anonymous,
in two days will be Christmas. Not that we worry too much about the religious significance of that day, but it seems a good time for citizens, netizens, human beings of good will to reflect, look back and, above all, look to the future.
This year has been the culmination of a trying decade - nobody can deny-. We got into this new century with the hope of the Millennium Development Goals, with the hope of eradicating extreme poverty, reducing child mortality rates, fighting disease epidemics such as AIDS, and developing a global partnership for development, environmental awareness, the end of war ... and we have met with a decade of more government control to citizens over suffocation freedom, more censorship, the rich are richer, the poor poorer. There has been a change, yes, but it was not to better. Never as now has used the fear and misinformation as a weapon of subjugation, had never been put into question in this way civil rights, human rights from last forty years. The new world order, borned of an economic crisis brought with millimetric precision, needed for his livelihood effectively limited the right to freedom of expression, to freedom of information. The old media have adapted to it so shocking. The internet is the last free frontier, and netizens have the right and the duty to defend, because it is ours, as well as citizens have the right and duty to defend their democracy to the continuing attacks and pressures that are receiving of Banks, Corporations and financial groups through their employees, Governments, because democracy belongs to citizens, and if they do not, the future for their children and grandchildren as free human beings will disappear, allowing them to become slaves...

... #anonymous has done what had to do, defending the Internet, defending our world from attacks by Governments to make clear that the Internet is owned by netizens, not Banks, Corporations and financial groups, defending freedom of expression, freedom of information, civil rights and human rights.
We also know that is not time to falter, the fight has just begun, because, as they had never been implemented at these levels of censorship and fear as a weapon, we had never been so aware of the need for that defense until the last consequences, because without freedom we are nothing, and be without it is not an option.
#anonymous will continue to fight next year, mindful of the need for change because, although a citizen is not necessarily a netizen, yes, a netizen is also a citizen, conscious of the responsibility to make that change. The Internet belongs to us as netizens, but democracies also belong to us as citizens and we must face it with the same determination we showed against Scientology, Mastercard, Amazon and others. It's not about ideology, anonymous has no ideology beyond the defense of human freedom and our right to decide.
There are no half measures.
We have a responsibility to report about Banks, Corporations, financial groups and Governments that invest in wars and weapons, invest in getting certain groups of people remain poor, which allow human beings to die from easily curable disease, that censor the information coming their citizens to remain in power. Warn them about the consequences of continuing doing, give them a small time to change, and if they do not, We declare war.
It is not a warning, it's a threat in any order.
At this point #anonymous want recall especially Liu Xiaobo and Guillermo Fariñas, prisoners of conscience, free men imprisoned for having said what they thought.

The fight has begun, and the fight will not be fair, because...
... and we are legion...
Expect us.
