FOX News, once itself a target of the LulzSec hacker group, broke an explosive story on March 6th, 2012 that the Anonymous movement had been infiltrated at one of its cores for 8-9 months by an FBI informant — none other than Sabu — one of the most wanted hackers in the world. Raids of various alleged members of Lulzsec and Anonymous took place across a couple of continents, United States, UK and Ireland. "Sabu", apparently 28-year-old Hector Xavier Monsegur, was the guardian of two young kids and lived in the projects in the Lower East Side of New York City. He was reportedly unmasked through a accumulation of small slips worth detailing:

Reusing "anonymous" usernames and variations on them for many years resulting in "bleeding" of his identity elements (ie. usernames, e-mail addresses, domain registration information) between different, supposedly-unrelated social media and online accounts

Giving out too much personal information about his political/national affiliations/ethnicity

Accidentally logging once or twice into IRC chat channels without first anonymizing through VPN or Tor proxies

Mentioning in a chatroom a domain name he owned, whose whois status — i.e. its domain ownership information had not always been set to private, and which once listed his real name and address, subsequently preserved on the Internet.

FOX News reported: "handlers allowed him to work from the home... using a PC laptop provided by the FBI. [...] Monitoring software on his government-issued laptop allowed the feds to see what he did in real time. The FBI has had an agent watching his online activity 24 hours a day. [...] Sabu and his FBI handlers also disseminated false information to the public and hacker community — often through Twitter, sometimes through unsuspecting reporters who thought they’d landed an online interview with the notorious hacker. Their correspondence was sometimes directly with agents. More often it was with Sabu acting on strict guidance from the agents sitting with him, reading his every word. “About 90 percent of what you see online is bulls---,” said one of Monsegur’s handlers, referring to the Twitter posts from Sabu’s account and “interviews” he’s given to the press on direction from the FBI as part of their disinformation campaign. On an Internet that forgets nothing, once a document is made publicly available, even if only briefly, it may be archived in perpetuity. One old clue to even one element of a still-in-use identity can be enough to take down even the most careful hacker.....

The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand. Sun Tzu

This week we were all surprised and perhaps repulsed by the revelations surrounding Anonymousabu and his despicable betrayal.  All these charges are being supposedly dropped against him in exchange for something not unlike Judas's kiss.  This was worse than that, this was like a make-out session followed by an orgy of deception.  His excuse are a two children relatives he felt he needed to take care of.  One thing people should consider before joining Anonymous or any movement/cause for that matter, is that they should calculate their risk and benefit. And to that, I would like to add this quote for your consideration:

"It is better that you should rush upon this blade, then enter the circle with fear in your heart. How do you enter? "

It would be better for yourself and everyone else that you not participate in something like this if you have something that is too precious to lose.  If your fear is so great that it would cripple you, get out before you cripple all of us. Yo comprendo?

How does this all go back to Bradley Manning and his situation? This shows us that we are at war with "authorities" and what their real objective is.  Obama and all his ilk want us in the dark, not knowing what they are doing in our name. Obama praises a whistleblower like Daniel Ellsberg but was willing to let Thomas Drake sit in prison without saying so much as a word?  Sounds like a load of horseshit to me.  In regards to Obama's fight against Julian Assange, it's become evident to everyone what the real fight is about. People like Barack Obama, top employees of Stratfor, Aaron Barr, and everyone of the like wants to keep their little gravy train going.  Do I blame them?  No, we all have to survive.  But is all this really even necessary?  And how right was it for the FBI to let Stratfor get hacked?  Two wrongs don't make a right.  Blatant hypocrisy noted, FBI.

One thing going forward:  no one should be stealing from regular citizens.  Sabu pissed off many people when he stated that all this hacking business was for Bradley Manning.  It was never about Manning, that was a psyop.  In fact, I bet someone at the FBI came up with that.

Note: This is how it looks right at the moment. we are just looking for real facts we can find

AnonymouSabu is not a Rat - Read, Stun, Understood

"Leader, Snitch, the whole truth"

Its news like this, selling best and providing maximum awareness to your News site. Words like those are selling off like pure gold.

  So, this i a funny fact: Watch all these "Anonymous" people, claiming that the culture and the public mind is being brainwashed by media cooperations. Now they are going mental, quoting a source that doesn't have any facts but only unsupported allegations. Watch the hive trusting the best: FoxNews.

  Just a short while after @anonymousabu was busted, FoxNews pushed their latest headline out: "Infamous international hacking group LulzSec brought down by own leader". But how do they know, who told them all the facts the rest of us do not know about. It's easy play for them. @anonymousabu is not able to deny anything while being in custody.

FoxNews, BFF of the acting Goverment pushed out all the related and important facts for us. Is this what you are thinking now? Just seconds after the release, social media sites like Twitter and Facebook started joining the bandwagon. "Hey look what Fox News just said", we can be sure thats the truth. A gigantic shitstorm rises. Is this a Win-Win Situation for the FBI? It may look like it, but this may change as real information will come into public space.

  Whoever started calling Sabu the leader of anonymous, as well as all the others who joined, are wrong. Anonymous is an idea and hence it doesn't have any leaders or structure. It's sad, that the FBI still does not realize this.

  Why should they sell out wrong news?

  If you are still thinking this way, the system is working perfectly for you. Our culture is looking for individuals they can call "leaders". The same goes for modern media. But how does one deal with such a complex thing like anonymous? They don't know. And they dont want too. They try to impose an image on one person, so people will loose the picture of the average guy, fighting for his rights behind a mask, just like millions of others do to. Like their masters, media cooperations are afraid of those groups known as "the Legion".

  But: Sabu did tell  people about do's and don'ts!

  Sabu may have had a loud voice and some people may have listened to his words. But Sabu was just sharing his opinion. People don't cry about Lady Gaga telling 20 million people to buy her next CD, but they do cry about a guy having 40k followers which retweeted what he tweets. That does not make him a leader, just a voice which is beeing heard.

  But FoxNews just said....

  So if its FoxNews it must be true?  Because we already know FoxNews never lies. So if Sabu was working with the FEDs, why did he also get busted? Would you sign a deal and sell out all the people you know including yourself, rather than having a nice time on the Bermudas whilst replying that Twitter Shitstorm?

  Glad, i never trusted him

  So you didn't. Sad, because he trusted in you. Sabu helped more people out of trouble than most people have real friends. But no one speaks about facts like that. That wouldn't be a good headline to sell. 

  It doesn't matter who is behind the mask, what his favourite music is or what IT skills he or she might have. It is the combination of activists, hackers, the average joes and single moms. Governments are not used to being able to handle such a powerful combination and that's why they fear the 99% and those called Anonymous. They don't get the why people work together to fight back.

  No matter who you are, if you don't get what the idea is about, you will never be able to find the answer.

  Those in power are used to people protesting. They have handled them since the 70's. But now there is an unknown enemy, hiding behind wires and nodes: The hacker. They want to get rid of people that are able to fight back when others get silenced. Playing out their "Terrorist-card" seems always a good move, because nobody likes terrorists. Easy going.

  But let me tell you just one more thing. They underestimate those people with masks. There are people out on the planet not buying all that shit they provide us with. Some people out there still know about freedom. It is these people that will not stop to fight, regardless the price. The world will be changed. 

  The snake did not lose a head, but most of us lost a brother. If they take one of us down, one hundred more will rise. This is not the end. It is just another beginning.

  Expect us!
