Crowdsourcing

Anonymous LogoFast unbemerkt wurde auf YouTube dieser Tag, der 15. Juni 2011 angekündigt, als Startpunkt für größere Umwälzungen weltweit. Am 15. Juni 1977 fanden in Spanien erstmals wieder freie Wahlen nach der Diktatur statt, aber dies ist wahrscheinlich nur ein Zufall und das Datum wurde höchstwahrscheinlich willkürlich gewählt.
Die Gruppe Anonymous, die sich im Internet gebildet hat nachdem Wikileaks allen voran von der US-Regierung aus dem Internet zensiert werden sollte, hat sich schon lange die Freiheit im Internet auf die Fahnen geschrieben. Im arabischen Raum war die Gruppe an den Regierungsumstürzen in Tunesien und Ägypten beteiligt und überall in der Welt, wo keine Meinungsfreiheit sondern Korruption und Machtmissbrauch herrscht ist sie aktiv. Da die Menschenrechte längst zum politischen Spielball verkommen sind und all zu oft wirtschaftlichen Interessen der westlichen Regierungen geopfert werden, ist Anonymous auch verstärkt in Europa und den USA aktiv.

Mit einem 3 Punkte Plan will man die Welt innerhalb eines Jahres ändern:

Es sollte bekannt sein, dass sich Anonymous von dem Film V wie Vendetta inspirieren lassen hat. Teile der Nachricht erinnern an die Ansprache von „V“.
Ansonsten enthält die obige Nachricht Teile von Waking Life, Matrix, Vanilla Sky und Tron Legacy. Kritiker warfen dann auch sofort ein, dass hier nur geschickt zur visuellen Untermalung gute Szenen aneinander gehängt wurden mit einer bewegenden Ansprache, die aber wenig konkrete Aussagen macht. So werden Missstände im System angedeutet aber nicht benannt.

Wer die Missstände in dieser Welt, die Ungerechtigkeit und Armut nicht erkennt, dem ist wohl nicht mehr zu helfen. Ein Blick in die Nachrichten oder Zeitung reicht dafür. Wer nicht aufgehört hat nachzudenken, wird sich fragen wie lange wir noch unseren Wohlstand auf kosten der Anderen aufrecht erhalten können. China und Indien werden Gegner beim begehrten Rohstoff Erdöl. Klima- und Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge drängen nach Europa und werden nicht mehr von Diktatoren in Libyen, Tunesien oder Ägypten aufgehalten.

Die Aussage der Nachricht ist dann auch die Augen nicht mehr vor den Verbrechen und der Ungerechtigkeit in der Welt zu verschließen und die Nachricht zu verteilen. Künstler werden aufgerufen sich Aktionen auszudenken um auf die Missstände aufmerksam zu machen. Im November, wenn man eine entsprechend große Gruppe an Menschen erreicht hat, soll Phase 2 beginnen.

In der Nachricht wird auf ein Forum verwiesen in dem man Ideen einreichen kann und diskutieren: http://whatistheplan.forumotion.com
Dieses Forum ist anscheinend für neue unerfahrene Sympathisanten, da Anonymous-Mitglieder ihre Nachrichten über anonyme Netzwerke im Internet verteilen. Ein Forum in dem man sich anmeldet widerspricht der Idee hinter Anonymous und birgt auch eine Gefahr. Die US-Regierung hat sich z.B. die Twitter-Accounts von Wikileaks-Sympathisanten geben lassen, um sie zu überprüfen. Andererseits will man bei Anonymous wohl das Crowdsourcing nicht ungenutzt lassen, wohl wissend, dass Anonymität im Internet mit Unannehmlichkeiten verbunden ist, die meistens nur echte Hacker und Paranoide in Kauf nehmen.

[UPDATE]
Ich bekam einige Zuschriften, von Leuten, die sich für das Thema sehr interessierten, deren English-Kenntnisse aber nicht gut genug waren, den Inhalt zu erfassen. Zuerst einmal möchte ich dringend empfehlen den Film „V wie Vendetta“ anzuschauen, da man dann den Hintergrund viel besser versteht.

Dann habe ich hier das englische Transkript:

People of the world allow me to once again introduce myself as Anonymous. I am nothing more than an idea, an idea of true freedom and mind as well as the real-life realm. The idea of swift justice in defense of such freedoms and a world free of oppression and intolerance, a world focused on living freely rather than living according to what you can afford. While I know there are those of you out there that may argue, if you’re not happy with the money you make or the life that you have, this is simply your own fault. You must realize and acknowledge the fact that this day and age presents a vast barrier for many families and individuals. The financial constraints and limits have grow diversely in size while opportunities have diminished. Any train of thought that dismisses this fact is quite frankly either selfish or quite simple delusional. However I most also acknowledge how easy it must be to sleep in such state of apathetic delusion of reality given the vast amount of entertainment, that is pumped into today culture and society. It is quite easy to lose oneself in this system of things. We, like many of you appreciate the comfort of every day routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any individual but in the spirit of commemoration their by those important events of the past usually associated with someone’s death or the end of some awful bloody struggle as celebration of a nice holiday. We thought we can mark this June the 15, a day that normally is no different that any other, by taking some time out of our daily life to have a little chat there are, of course, those who do not want us to speak we suspect, even now, orders are been shout it into telephones and men with guns and fancy technology will soon beyond scouring into web searching for anything related to Anonymous. Why? Because while the tranche are may been used in lure a conversation words will always retain their power. Words often remains to meaning, and for those who will listen the enunciation of truth. And the truth is: there is something terribly wrong with this world, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression and where once you have the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw it you, now, have sensors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission.

How did this happen? Who’s to blame?
Well certainly there are those more responsible than others and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told. If you’re looking for a guilty you need only look it into in your. I know why you did it, I know you were afraid, who wouldn’t be? Would terror disease? There were a variety of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob your common sense. Here you’ve got the best of you. And in your panic you turn to your governments. They promised you order, they promised you peace and all they demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.
Anonymous is seeking into in that silence. Beginning today, we’re initiating the beginning of a system of events.

We will simply refer to as „The Plan“: „The Plan“ will commence upon this 15 day of June 2011 and will continue for approximately one year in a course of three separate phases. Phase 1 began now.

In this time you’re encourage to educating yourself on the injustice occurring in this world. Seek out violations of freedom and human rapes, become familiar with the corruption within your system. Discover the enemy of true freedom discover the oppressors.

The most important step of phase one is to spread this message by sharing this video and those that proceeded it make your own films or videos, artwork, music, literature, resonate the voice of freedom and justice through your own creativity and bring others to this movement. Street artist you have the ability to reach millions with your art and message in your own populated centers. Your canvas is there. My friends began, your work. Write the tales of oppression and injustice in your blogs. Tell the world how we can for once brake free from this system of enslavement. Defeat the enemies of freedom and truth through your art and films. Spread the message of the plan with your graffiti. Share this message with the world and bring them to stand among us as we rise up from the ashes of the downtrodden and unprivileged. Tell the elite you’re here and we are coming for them spread the message through blogs, social networks and in video diaries. Remember, words often remain to meanings and the enunciation of the truth. Let the truth be heard. Educate yourself in ways of becoming more self-sufficient. Learn and acquire the tools to free yourself from the system.

And that’s more heavily in precious metals rather than stocks, paper Fiat currencies or other products of the financial establishment. Discover your green thumb and appreciate your ability to grow your own produce. The sky is the limit and your only barrier is your own reliance on the system that arrives on your dependence. Hackers within anonymous began selecting your priorities targets, that had violated freedoms both in the online realm and the offline realm as well. Stand guard to our friends taking their stands in the world and ensure they are supported in any means necessary. As always remain vigilant. We must all learn to walk the walk if you would. We can all tell tales of grandeur and extravagance. It is time we start becoming our own legends. It is time we start battering ourselves first, so that will may focus on the grater challenge at hand with intelligence and competence. As of this fifteenth day of June 2011. We are pleased to bring you the beginning to the web platform for our solve to need in converse to share ideas and recommendations over the course of the next year and the three phases that will be unfolding. If you feel as we feel and you found something inside of you pushing you towards acting upon the plan go there and become an active member educate yourself and share your thoughts and ideas with others, so that you may help others on this same journey continue to spread this video by all possible venues and ensure we’re all doing our part to bring this same opportunity to all that we can. Together we can make a difference. Together we can accomplish something real. Phase 2 will be initiated in approximately five months. Continue the efforts into focus, the phase 2 will be presented when that time comes. We aspect there will be large members of people participating in the plan by that point. We will prevail.
So if you see nothing, if the crimes of this governments remain unnoticed then we would suggest you aloud this year to pass on mark. But if you see what we see, if you feel as we feel, and if you would seek as we seek then you too are an Anonymous. Stand beside us this year as we execute the plan and together we shall give them a year, that shall never ever be forgotten.

We are Anonymous! United as one,divided by zero.
