pastebin.com twitter.com #OpAnonRevival - Helping Anons stay Anonymous Greetings Citizens of the World, We are Anonymous..Today 11/05/2012 marks the commencement of Operation AnonRevival. An Operation to get the majority opinion of Anonymous on record. And to bring awareness about Anonymous and what we stand for to the greater public as a whole. Over past few years Anonymous has been labeled as Pranksters, Activists, Hacktivists and most recently Terrorists. It is this final label we are going to be addressing. This is by far one of the most offensively incorrect statements that has been made about us. We defeated Scientology, The Wrath of Xenu, HB Gary, Stratfor, The censorship of Egypt, Syria Libya,stopped SOPA and assisted in the foundation of the Occupy movement. But like all movements for social change before it, the Occupy movement and Anonymous have become the target of infiltration and COINTELPRO for profits over people (despite that program supposedly being dismantlted in the 70s). People like Fawkes Security (@FawkesSecurity) are trying to make people believe that we truly are terrorists.[1] Anyone that has operated with us before or even observed us in action, would know that nothing could be further from the truth! Poll Link tinyurl.com [2] (!!! Poll expires 11/21 !!!) So let us take this opportunity now to gauge exactly how you as Anons feel on some of the more broad issues that we face. We choose these questions to cover some of the most common conceptions ...From:OpAnonRevivalViews:36 1ratingsTime:02:19More inPeople Blogs

Tokyo, Nov 6 (ANI): China's use of 'secrecy, censorship and bullying' to silence dissents in the country must come to an end under the rule of the new leader, spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has said.

The Dalai Lama said that President-in-waiting Xi Jinping would have 'no alternative', but to accept political change over the coming years.

"Now Hu Jintao era passed. Now Xi Jinping (is) becoming the president. I think there is no alternative except there is some political change," the Japan Times quoted the Dalai Lama, as saying.

"Hu Jintao started to build harmonious society, stable society. So for stable society, I think gap (between the) rich and (the) poor must be reduced," he said on the third day of a 12-day stay in Japan.

"Also you need an independent judiciary system, free press, rule of law. These are very, very important. So the goal, harmony, wonderful. Stability, wonderful. But use of secrecy, censorship and bullying . . . there is something wrong in their system. I think to create a genuine harmony... you need openness," he added. (ANI)

Photos A Danish author's ebooks documenting freewheeling hippie nudity have been rejected from Apple's iBookstore in that country, even after the author and publisher covered up the offending naughty bits with images of ripe red apples.

"Apple founder, Steve Jobs, marketed himself as a child of the hippie movement," author Peter vig Knudsen wrote in an open letter (Google Translate) to the Danish Minister of Culture Uffe Elbaek.

"Jobs has said that he got some of his most important insights from LSD and was driven by the desire to ensure peoples of the world easy access to art and knowledge," Knudsen wrote. "Our experience shows the exact opposite."

At issue are two ebooks for the iPhone and iPad (Google Translate). These are not mere tacky T&A teasers; 14 of the images are from acclaimed photographer Gregers Nielsen "perhaps his generation's greatest documentary photographer," Knudsen argues and 15 are by well-recognized artist Bjrn Nrgaard.

"We are talking about a censorship threat to a major part of the Danish cultural heritage", Knudsen writes.

Perhaps the choice of apples rather than neutral black blocks offended Apple's pride more than its prudery

Knudsen's Hippie Company (Google Translate) first tried to get uncensored version of the two ebooks Hippie 1 and Hippie 2 into Apple's iBookstore, but as Hippie Company reported in a press release (Google Translate), Apple required the images to be censored. The publisher then did so by placing red apples over the exposed breasts, penises, and what have you, then resubmitted the two ebooks.

Apple then accepted them, and put them up on its Denmark iBookstore. However, Hippie Company's witty censorship methodology was apparently not appreciated: after four days, they were removed. The publisher has asked Apple to explain the removal, but has not received a reply.

"I and Hippie Company ... tried to get into negotiations with Apple and explain to them that there is a serious, historical-documentary book reproduction of Danish press photo and works of art from the period 1967-70," Knudsen writes.

For decades the Chinese government has censored its people, but one internationally renowned artist, Ai WeiWei, has been proactively trying to breach that censorship. A documentary about WeiWeis story is being screened Thursday at Miami University.

First-time director and journalist Alison Klayman filmed Ai WeiWei: Never Sorry after gaining unprecedented access to the artist. The film explores contemporary issues in China as well as one of the countrys most prominent critical figures. Ann Wicks, Professor of Asian Art History is responsible for bringing the film to Miami.

This particular film is kind of a hot item on college campuses right now, said Wicks. Its a beautifully done film and it brings up so many issues important to college students today. Issues about art, its place in society, freedom of speech, contemporary China, the government, business and so much more.

WeiWei is most notably known for filling Londons Tate Modern with 100 million hand-painted porcelain sunflower seeds and designing the Olympic Stadium in Beijing. In China, WeiWeis art and activism are controversial. According to junior sculpture major Jesse Thayer, he often utilizes and destroys historical artifacts like centuries old furniture and vases in his work, often to mixed reviews.

I am sure some of the people are like no you shouldnt be doing that, why would you break centuries old artifacts, they are precious, Thayer said. But then there are some people who are saying he has to do it as some sort of profound statement for human rights.

Thayer has been examining WeiWeis work in order to determine what motivates him as an artist.

It is all based on the rights that China is still not getting today, said Thayer. His dad was a poet during the Cultural Revolution, and he was shut down and couldnt write anymore. I think he grew up with that negative vibe for the government on not having these freedoms that the rest of the world was having.

According to Thayer, WeiWei has been through a lot for his art. In 2011 he was arrested during a government crackdown in which dozens of bloggers, human rights lawyers and writers were swept up. He was filmed every day in his cell for three months. Once he was released, he filmed himself in his room in the same fashion and posted it to a blog in a form of rebellion against government censorship. The blog was quickly shut down.

People should see the film because its current, said Wicks. It has to deal with art worldwide, what artists are thinking and how they are connected with social issues. Plus it is interesting and funny.

Ai WeiWei: Never Sorry will screen 7 p.m. Thursday in room 100 of the Art Building. Admission is free and open to the public. To learn more about the film you can visit http://aiweiweineversorry.com/.
