Like I said, it *seems* genuine. Google 'Anonymous Resistance Begins' and you'll see the hits pop up on YouTube and Twitter. And the denial about the Sony thing is in line with previous news reports. Who knows, though, it could all be a US government black op to recruit hackers to attack the Middle East, China, etc. Hence the denouncement of the splinter group that hacked Sony. Or it could be that the group is genuine but the message is not. All sorts of stuff is bubbling on the Net these days. The govt has invested a lot of money in social network spying, lots of people popping up claiming all manner of things. The government is simultaneously spending huge amounts of money gaming the social networks and calling for promotion of conspiracy theories to be outlawed.
Most of the alien stuff is government disinformation, the CIA admitted as much a few years ago. Some of it (the Belgian UFO in 2008) is actually secret US government technology, the TR-3B. The info I have seen says it can fly at Mach 6 in the atmosphere, which matches FOIA requests a friend of mine processed in DC in 1991 when he worked for a Congressman. The requests were from a professor in SoCal who noted seismic booms at specific locations at specific times, and a doughnut-on-a-rope contrail to conclude that the military was testing a secret plane in Area 51, a plane equipped with a scramjet that could, based on the seismic data, propel it at Mach 6. Apparently it can go even faster than that because it has a central chamber surrounded by an anti-gravity field that reduces gravity by 89%, so flying in it you would experience 40gs as 4.2gs. Truly brilliant, world-changing technology, and our own government is hiding it from us. They need to stop being bad children in the sandbox and learn how to share. Why all the fear? We could transform this planet into a garden oasis. We could reach out for the stars and get off of this little rock at the edge of our galaxy. As for the rule, exactly. Facebook and Twitter are baby steps. Governments love the idea of us all being plugged into the hive. I like technology, but I want to use it on my terms. Imagine every child on the planet with a smartphone that has a holographic AI embedded in it, an AI that acts on their behalf on the Internet. Straight out of William Gibson, sure, but it will be technically possible by the middle of the century, maybe much sooner. Plug into the hive or remain an individual? I would rather have an AI act on my behalf. Am I taking it too far? As an example, let's take the call I made to my bank today. I spent maybe two minutes on the phone going through a primitive voice-driven decision tree before I could get to a bank rep. That's very primitive AI. Imagine a different scenario. You ask your AI to check into a particular situation at the bank. The AI checks with an AI from the bank and gets back to you with the details, maybe in seconds, maybe in near real-time. Which one would you prefer? People are predictable. If we all had an AI agent that could interact with other AI agents on our behalf to automate our lives, we would almost all choose to let the AI handle the mundane tasks of modern life - keeping schedules, making reservations, tracking finances, etc. And why not?
