Anonymous has posted a video in which they promise to take down ISIS. Is anyone here a member of Anonymous, and if so do you have any information? To anyone else, do you support what they're doing, or think it should be left to the government?

I think it's fake. I looked it up on YouTube and seems like they haven't released a video about it yet but they will.

whats the video link?

We watched this in French class today. It does seem fake, like an intimidation tactic.

If it is fake oh well but if its real then let them take down Isis as far as I can see the government ain't doing nothing to stop them

dragons I agree at least some people are brave enough to make a stand to them

>>1 link to video?
The less terrorists, the better. The opposite of good is mass murder, among other things.

The Anonymous has tweeted"Make no mistake: #Anonymous is at war with #Daesh. We won't stop opposing #IslamicState. We're also better hackers. #OpISIS"

Cyber watfare eh.
Interesting.

Why would ANYONE want to take down ISIS. Clearly, at least in the US, we are prepared if they are ever to come to us. I mean nowadays every house owner, and NON-house owner, has at least one firearm (even the rich probably have a functional tank in their backyard).

>>10 Yea! You have guns! All you need to do is come back to life after they throw a bomb or gun you down (which surely you will have anticipated) and shoot them back!

Dollars are allied with Anonymous now? x)

Hello guys,
Cube here! I will ally with Anonymous!
I want to see ISIS DEAD!

Cube

Bye guys!

"[H]ow exactly do they plan to stop an international terrorist organization that has been able to plot attacks regardless of the mass-spying by governments around the globe?" Discordian wrote on a text-hosting website called Pastebin.

Predictions from those in the cybersecurity industry of whether Anonymous will be successful are mixed, with experts saying they understand why Anonymous wants to target ISIS.

Stu Sjouwerman, founder and CEO of cybersecurity company KnowBe4, is optimistic that Anonymous will be successful. "I wish Anonymous good luck with this campaign."

It's real. But, I think it's not official though.... Anyways, I'm not part of them or anything, but, seeing how they work and all that, it's awesome! But, I don't support them nor do I like how they work. They may be famous because of how they work or something, but, I personally think that they will only get little info about ISIS. And about the question, I think both of them should work together. It would be much easier, especially now that most/all of the members of Dollars support them. While they work on the battle-field((getting info and attacking them)) we, the Dollars, will work on the back or sides by helping others and giving credits to Dollars and the Anonymous!

Scary how V for Vendetta is becoming more and more real...I'm happy because I flippin love that movie but also scared.

sup guys

France has bombed in response to the terrorist series in Paris in the evening camp of " Islamic State " in Syria . The attacks in Paris 132 people lost their lives . Three seriously injured died yesterday ! This and all other acts will regret ISIS!
#anonymous #warbegins #bewithus

i mid way support them and i don't think the us gov. should get involved in it any of it WHAT SO EVER.

Pretty cool of them considering they have done negative stuff before

What I'm saying is, these anonymous shouldn't bark if they have no bite. That makes it very dangerous for them if ISIS were to ever find out who they are. I also think the US should not get involved anymore than they already are. I understand that we're allies in this, but what of us civilians? Personally I don't want the US to end up a war zone or worse.

>>23: Anon has proved time and again that they know what they're doing. They are, for lack of a better word, professional greyhats who have experience in covering their tracks.

And, unfortunately, the US is already a war zone, in several different meanings. The riots in Ferguson, MO and other places around the country have proved that the US is capable of turning weapons against its own citizens, so why not use them against a group who's actually causing harm? Not to mention the fact that there is a large ISIS presence in the USA already, so we're already in the fight anyways. Even if the US doesn't fight back, a terrorist group such as ISIS would have no qualms turning innocent neighborhoods into bomb drop zones. They've demonstrated that fact themselves.

So it isn't really a choice as to whether the US gets involved or not, because we already are. It's about how the US plays its cards to make sure the casualties are kept to a minimum, and its civilians are kept safe.

>>23 I don't think Anonymous can truly be found, just like ISIS. Believe it or not these two groups are two sides of the same coin, except obviously one has better moral values than the other. Just like how anyone can become an 'Anon' it's the same with ISIS. So it's never ending recruitment. You might be able to subdue these groups but they will never be truly obliterated, it's just the way the world works.

And by that mean, if there is good in the world, there will always be bad as well. Just like Rava and Vatu they coexist and need to exist, but they'll always be fighting. It's how the world stays in balance and equilibrium.

Can't they use a less creepy mask?

completely understandable, however I still don't understand how they plan to stop ISIS without their own means of violence. Violence is always necessary to achieve peace.

This is such a nightmare. It's terrifying especially for little kids

No its not. Adults are the ones really terrified but they're projecting it into kids.

Does ISIS go to every country?

as far as i know yes evan the us thats how they got to paris but i wonder how noone knew until last minute witch is scary to think of

Not all. I heard from other people talking about them that there is 1 country they can't invade or something. I'm not 100% sure about that, >>32 could be right that they go to other countries though

Dollars must not be an ally on any of the two cause' we're civilians, we are not as good as the Anon hacking group and we don't have power to join their war we just have to protect ourselves and help each other and help the defenseless people that can be affected to that war. We are colorless.

We just have to know their moves so that we can protect ourselves if anything happens.

honestly im not sure anonymous can do much sure they can take down websites and accounts and stuff but as the whole of isis what troubles can anonymous cause them?
they cant exactly hack into their guns and stop them from shooting they will do whatever nomatter what happens online

The more groups going against ISIS the better

GO team internet!!!!!!!!!!!

but what can they really do i mean dont get me wrong anonymous are great for standing up but really they cant do much

I beg to differ anonymous has some useful information and skills I am not exactly against or with the organization they can be dangerous and let's just say difficult

I don't get it if we want peace why we keep attacking them?

>>41 Cause' they won't stop attacking us?

Well whether we disagree or agree of what they are up to, I don´t think we can stop them. But I do know, that threat can create a big impact, turning into history sooner or later... But anyways I hope all of us will keep ourselves safe ^^

How many of you consider yourselves part of anonymous?

Basing on what I just read on the past comments, I am totally scared, but slightly happy that there is a group that would stand up for humanity and world peace. Though, I would mostly prefer not to join such groups, maybe showing support to those who are trying to stop violence would be more helpful. Plus, isnt this the perfect momentum to make the world know who/what the Dollars are capable of? Time to take some REAL action? Just saying! ^^

I recall similar story about a year ago, about Dutch biker gangs declaring war on ISIS. More power to 'em, go for it.

I support it I want ISIS taken done fell the needless of those they killed.

>>45 is kinda right. This is actually the time for the Dollars to shine too. We, the Dollars may be colorless,shadows or something, but, what's the use of becoming a 'Dollar member' if only WE and the other people that watched the show knows about this? Just some people from the other group called 'Yellow Scarves' are taking action. And they still just have 41 members, while we, MAYBE thousand members doesn't do anything. So, just like what the other members here said, even if we can't fight or help Anon., let's help others while covering our faces and tell them that we're from the Dollars. And, instead of grafittying the walls, I think we should just print a picture of the Dollars logo with some inspirationl words on it and stick it at walls. This way, we, The Dollars will be known since we are around the world.

Anonymous is in the process of tracking and destroying the ISIS information network, and are doing quite well. If nothing else, they are slowing the organization down digitally, as well as limiting their expansion.

However for we more peaceful Dollars, I have another preposition. Informing everyone we can about whatever we can related to these happenings, and supporting communities most spooked by these terrorist attacks. Helping clean up debris and comforting those who have lost loved ones from these heinous criminals and murderers. Reporting ISIS sites stumbled upon to Anonymous sites and other things like that. And, if shit DOES hit the fan (with ISIS' drive, who knows) finding a way to help out your community as much as possible. Building shelters and hiding areas similar to what happened in the Cold War. Again comforting who you can, and finding ways to give people hope in dark times like these.

What do you say? Support who we can, where we can? Or sit back and let others do the work? Sure, the front lines against terrorism aren't something most of us would go for, but if nothing else, we can keep our respective nations and communities strong and united not just as Frenchmen or Americans or Syrians or what-have-you, but as citizens of the world, a people united as such.

I support this, I heard a rather wonderful idea from someone i know on what the group should do: post information on exactly who was buying anything from ISIS, like the oil they sell. That's there main source of money.

spread the word, 传播一词, 단어를 확산
to fight isis, 对付伊希斯, 이시스 싸움,
honestly, if you can't spend the time to hack people.

The way I see it, the governments are perhaps trying to do something but we do not know what is happening behind the scenes. As a former member who is familiar and participated at Conferences, decisions always take time to be finalized.
Same mistakes are also to be avoided. ISIS is not attacking the USA directly yet to cause for any "emergency" retaliation. When 9/11 struck, we began a war with Afghanistan. If we were to send missiles, drones, and more men to where ISIS may be located, we will start another war as there is such a thing called borders and sovereignty.
I am not agreeing with the government but merely trying to come up with possible ideas to what could be going on in their minds. Bin Laden took a while to track down and attack without him knowing. ISIS are not stupid and will not be caught so easily. It it was a simple track and destroy, I do not think they would still be here bombing several major areas.

People are underestimating ISIS and that will be our downfall. We assume they are nothing more than just extremists who claim religion as their excuse. But they have the manpower of an army and the minds of generals and presidents with them. They are intelligent people. not a pack of animals.

Used my actual name for this

Shameless self-promotion of >>49 to all those here who feel useless or say that their input and assistance won't matter against this group

I don't know if this is true but they have their priorities straight

omg.....that's intense...

I think its a good thing if they do help us get rid of ISIS.

THEY SAY ITS A WORLD WAR 3 -___- GOD THESE PEOPLE

They (Anonymous) have rights to declare a war to the Paris government, that's what I though

Any updates to this news?

ALERT!

Isis plans to attack Atlanta, Georgia on November 22nd
Information given by Anonymous
Every dollar please be careful.

Although I am a Muslim myself , I can tell you guys that ISIS ARE NOT WHO MUSLIMS ARE . THEY'RE JUST CORRUPTED MUSLIMS WHO THINK THEY'RE RIGHT . PLEASE DON'T BLAME MUSLIM , BLAME ISIS . Kay that's all bye .

Oh my gosh that's terrible! I hope every one stays safe

Is that Atlanta Georgia thing true, cause I work in the area and a lot of people I know work in the area. So if it's true I wanna be sure, or are you just bull shitting me cause if you are that's cruel man.

Even here in a country where nothing ever happens, this entire ISIS thing is getting out of hand. I've never during my short lifespan heard of our national security or military force raising the terrorist awareness level to the second highest grade.. it leaves me uneasy..

Well, if many nations with strong military cooperate with each other I think that they can beat ISIS but we cant really risk our soldiers if there are Suicide bombers. But Im just stating my opinion. But, we dont know what nation does ISIS gets their support :3

ISIS is a threat to the world, Anonymous and you The Dollars. Anonymous is ready to fight against ISIS to the death. While The Dollars sits on their asses talking about how bad they are. You humans are pathetic. But I understand that you are afraid to die. I can't promise you that you will come unscratched, but I can promise you will win. The Dollars and anonymous. ISIS wouldn't stand a chance. Innocent people will die if you don't. But in the end its up to you and your leader. I hope you'll do the right thing -Shin Kage

>>67

>Dollars
>leader
>anon + dollars
>anon fight to death
>inciting panic for zero reason while being uninformed

You're a special kind of stupid aren't you? While you ARE right we need to form groups and do something about it, this was most definitely the wrong way to say it. The Dollars are so widely spread that in order for anyone to make groups like that we'd need to travel and group up the few of a certain kind around the world, and that's far to expensive and time consuming than action against this organization than it should be.

For now I refer back to >>49 as a start. Try to join some other local groups and support them if you don't have enough people yourself. You can do it, and I believe it.

if the government are having hard time to caught ISIS, well I guess its a great help that anonymous backs them up

Lol, do you honestly consider the dollars as a real group? Haha, it's a website for people to talk or maybe meet, nothing more nothing less. Anonymous is a group of people who DDos/hack sites for their benefit. They can shut down ISIS sites or hack their twitters but thats not really going to help.

The Dollars isn't more of a group than it is a mindset. One that we can share and have in common. Its what draws us closer to humanity in a sense. What good is it to be part of something you don't believe in Valete? I'm glad there are people taking care of this. Moreover this is a good reminder that there is some reallllll shit going down out there in the world. If we can do anything to help, I believe we should do our best at it... besides changing our Fb profile picture that is. Lol.
Yami Out

Even if any of us was part of Anonymous we we wouldn't be able to say.

Hey. So, TBH, I don't really know a whole lot about world issues, because I didn't really care. But with the whole ISIS thing and Paris, it kind of has me a little freaked out and worried. Can someone explain to me what has been going on prior to the Paris attack? To now?

>>72 nope that's not it at all, it's more like no one would believe anyone if you said you where apart of "Anonymous" as there would be no way to prove it and if you did you likely get picked up by whoevers government I,e FBI for one or MI6 depending on where you live.

Hmm...I don't think it should be left to the government... however I can say that I am not quite sure about Anonymous...

Anonymous have indeed declared 'war' on ISIS, although this is not new, and they have been actively targeting the group online. Their efforts were recognised by the US government as being 'worthwhile', and led the US government to also persue the idea of working against ISIS online. To date, Anonymous have successfully taken down over 100 sites associated with ISIS, along with over 200,000 twitter accounts removed. As for the questions about whether the video is 'fake' or 'official', it really is impossible to say, as ironically, since this was posted here, anonymous is set in a very similar way to the dollars. It is more of an ideology than a group, and anyone can be part of anonymous merely by desiring to be anonymous. Whilst there are sites and services to communicate with over members, the users fluctuate frequently, and therefore it is almost impossible to identify who any one member is. For this reason, it is impossible to say whether or not it is official, although anonymous are indeed running the operations #opIceISIS, #opISIS and #opParis, and are working with other groups, although some consider them subgroups of anonymous, such as ghostsec and ctrlsec. As for questions about their effectiveness, their efforts were recognised by the US government as stated before, and they leaders of twitter recieved death threats from ISIS for removing ISIS accounts provided to them by anonymous. As for the comment that anonymous are increasing ISIS's online presence, that may be true, however even if that is the case, they are disrupting communications, recruiting and causing enough problems for ISIS to send a death threat to twitter. If you wish to learn more about their actions, it is probably easiest to ask them yourselves, on their irc hosted at irc.anonops.com. You could also read newblood.anonops.com or look at anonhq.com to get an idea of the group's motives and ideas.

>>79 Jaysus, Kidd, paragraphs would be nice.

Nobody will read that because even the non-dyslexic have trouble with discerning which line they're on.

we don't need anonymous to help. Linda already said she'd destroy isis. we're all set.

i don't want another ISIS situation but leave that to the government even though they suck i would rather not have ISIS team up with some country with nuclear weapons or bio-chemical or anything and start bombing the US -thank you penisberg i agree with you.

There are 'Real' Members of pros and fake members of bitch 12 year olds

Hmmm...I think someone should do something.

>>87 I thought countries were doing stuff though. The US is already target striking and other nations are evacuating Syrian refugees. I think Russia is also helping Syria too.

The problem though is that the US or any other nation with nuclear armaments can't simply just launch a nuclear warhead. It would devastate landscapes, affect surrounding nations, and may probably enter a nuclear war. We're a mere 3 minutes before Doomsday you know.

“You will be treated like a virus, and we are the cure,” Anaymouse continued. “We Own The Internet. We are Anonymous, We are Legion, We do not forgive, We do not forget, Expect us.” --Anaymouse's response to Isis. I support Anaymouse.

>>93>>93 **Anonymouse

i totally support them taking them down...itd be a big help, but i dont think there gonna come out and say there apart of the dollars....it would take away from the whole "anonymouse" thing...just saying

I hear that as long as we provide free cheese, "anonymouse" will help with anyhting

bumb.

I think Anonymous is a strong group and I have hired about them wanting to start a "war" agents Isis whether they can do it or not is up to them, do I think they can.. Sure I do, will they, that's not for me to say it's up to them.

It seems unlikely that Anonymous will be able to have much of an impact against ISIS, since I don't think ISIS is very vulnerable to the kind of information manipulation which makes Anonymous effective. Whatever sensitive information they have available online will probably be collected by national intelligence groups with the ability to act on that information. However, this is interesting, and if they do find a way to effectively injure ISIS I would be intrigued.

If it stops people from getting killed, let them help.

>>25 I just want to note how excellent a point this is.

I think it's great that they want to do something against IS and I believe they can do something, because I think that even IS need the internet.

ISIS started the war, but they're not the ones continuing it.
