anonleak
Anonymous is not an easy organization to define. In fact, it is not really organized. Anyone can join Anonymous, anyone can be an operative, anyone can start their own operation, but beware of fakes. Confused? Here is a small sampling of Anonymous video messages to help explain. We've also thrown in some LOLs for fun. __Above:__ Anonymous: How to Join (Operation Leakspin) ------------------------------------------- "You can not join Anonymous. Nobody can join Anonymous. Anonymous is not an organization. It is not a club, a party or even a movement. There is no charter, no manifest, no membership fees. Anonymous has no leaders, no gurus, no ideologists. In fact, it does not even have a fixed ideology. All we are is people who travel a short distance together — much like commuters who meet in a bus or tram: For a brief period of time we have the same route, share a common goal, purpose or dislike. And on this journey together, we may well change the world." Uploaded by [mmxanonymous](http://www.youtube.com/user/mmxanonymous) on Dec. 15 2010.

anonlulz
Anonymous: 4chan Lulz --------------------- Anonymous grew out of the /b/ section of 4chan.org. The /b/ section of 4chan is not for the faint of heart. It’s a place where anything goes. Anyone can post anything, and post it anonymously. Anonymous has always been in it for the laughs — a special kind of laugh. This video shows the appreciation of the Lulz, which represent the LOLs. (It's complicated!) These are the rich beginnings of the Anonymous movement. Uploaded by yomamasbananas on Feb. 28, 2009.

anonvsscientology
Anonymous vs. Scientology ------------------------- "Hello, Scientology. We are Anonymous. Over the years, we have been watching you. Your campaigns of misinformation; suppression of dissent; your litigious nature, all of these things have caught our eye. With the leakage of your latest propaganda video into mainstream circulation, the extent of your malign influence over those who trust you, who call you leader, has been made clear to us. Anonymous has therefore decided that your organization should be destroyed." Uploaded by [Church0fScientology](http://www.youtube.com/user/Church0fScientology) on Jan. 21, 2008.

anonnwo
Anonymous: You Are Stinky... ---------------------------- "We are watching all of you. We are everywhere. We don't forgive. We don't forget. Expect us." Some Anons are still in it for the Lulz. Uploaded by Anonymous0890 on Feb. 21, 2008.

anonstinky
Anonymous: Message to NWO ------------------------- Hello leaders of Scientology, we are Anonymous. We hope you are having as much fun with this as we are. As you know, we are still here... And now the world is listening to us and watching you". Uploaded by edtheball69 on Jan. 13, 2011.

anonoptunisia
Anonymous: Op Tunisia --------------------- “The Tunisian government has decided it wants to control this present with falsehoods and misinformation and restrict the freedoms of their own people — all of this in order to impose upon them their own self-serving vision of the future. However, they can only accomplish this goal by keeping the truth hidden from its citizens and by putting restrictions on the free access of information. In doing so, the Tunisian government has made itself an enemy of ANONYMOUS.” Uploaded by Daedara07 on Aug. 12, 2011.

anonoppayback
Anonymous: Operation Payback ---------------------------- Anonymous protests against Internet censorship and a proposed treaty called ACTA that was intended to clamp down on online copyright infringement with measures that opponents said would trample online free expression and freedom. "Corrupt governments of the world, we are Anonymous. For some time now, voices have been crying out in unison against the new ACTA laws. The gross inadequacies of the new laws being passed internationally have been pointed out repeatedly. Our chief complaint is that such measures would restrict people's access to the Internet.

anonfake
Anonymous: Beware Fake Videos ----------------------------- On the Internet no one knows you’re a dog, or so the joke goes. Such is the strength and weakness of Anonymous. This video warns members of Anonymous to be careful of fake videos claiming to be from Anonymous. Even though anyone can be a part of Anonymous. Uploaded by anongoesballistic on March 7, 2008.

anonzetas
Anonymous vs. Los ZETA Cartel ----------------------------- "We want the army and the navy to know that we are fed up with the criminal group Zetas, who have concentrated on kidnapping, stealing and blackmailing in different ways... We are fed up with taxi drivers, commanders and 'police-zetas' officers of Xalapa, Córdoba, Orizaba, Nogales, Río Blanco and Camerinos... who are chickens and have made themselves the most loyal servants of these assholes." This video was recently uploaded in Spanish. This is the English mirror of the video. Since its release, it's been disputed as to whether it is a plant by the Mexican government, Anonymous, or perhaps even a rival cartel — though Anonymous has taken some action. We noticed the video component is taken from another Anonymous video called "Who is Anonymous." Uploaded by [lesleyblooddotcom](http://www.youtube.com/user/lesleyblooddotcom) on Oct. 29, 2011.

anoncashback
Anonymous Operation Cash Back ----------------------------- Anonymous urges everyone to transfer money from banks to credit unions in support of the Occupy movement currently taking place around the world. “Along with the Occupy movement, we, Anonymous, have started #OpCashBack, an op fully dedicated to moving your money from big time banks to local credit unions. This is an operation that can be done by everyone, not just fellow Anons. Help us restore the power to the people and rid the big banks of their power over us and politicians.” Uploaded by anonyops on Oct. 23, 2011.
