Anonymous i have something you really need to investigate. all these so-called solar flares from the sun are artist renditions. the space station was testing the EMS system on-board.
It is disgraceful that this is happening in America. These days I am ashamed to call myself American…
Anonymous,
You have my support. Little though it may be. I have long voiced my opinions about the direction the American government and other world leaders are going and the oppression of humanity as a whole by shady corporations that control our worlds leaders. I am new to all this. So if anyone has any pointers for staying below radar; I am listening. My knowledge of computers is intermediate, but I am a fast learner. I am familiar with programs to keep me hidden and anonymous such as Tor and AdvOr. My resources are limited to a simple budget windows 8 tablet and android smartphone since I am between jobs. I am blessed with a friend who lives in Nova Scotia who supports me and keeps me connected with these items so I wish to pay that friend back by supporting the fight there and everywhere.
We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.
I love seeing Justin King’s work everywhere ! That guy is awesome.
Ain’t no one gonna shoot my dog! I would have done the same as George Hitcho Jr.
Pets are family members, not an item.
Not do i only support Hacktivistism but also Animal rights.
You can read this is you are interested and outraged about it.
