Prepare For Revolution: The Empire State Rebellion Begins on June 14th

“We are a decentralized non-violent resistance movement, which seeks to restore the rule of law and fight back against the organized criminal class.

One-tenth of one percent of the population has consolidated wealth in unprecedented fashion and launched an all-out economic war against 99.9% of the population.

We are not affiliated with either wing of the two-party oligarchy. We seek an end to the corrupted two-party system by ending the campaign finance and lobbying racket.

Above all, we aim to break up the global banking cartel centered at the Federal Reserve, International Monetary Fund, Bank of International Settlement and World Bank.

We demand that the primary dealers within the Federal Reserve banking system be broken up and held accountable for rigging markets and destroying the global economy, effective immediately.

As a first sign of good faith, we demand Ben Bernanke step down as Federal Reserve chairman.

Until our demands are met and a rule of law is restored, we will engage in a relentless campaign of non-violent, peaceful, civil disobedience.”

In addition to this manifesto, a press release was picked up by Zero Hedge which mentioned our site and directly referenced a list of “Grievances and Demands” that also appear on our social network. The release begins:

“We, Anonymous, would like to offer you the opportunity to join and support our movement. We are a group that formed on the internet – one that knows no constructs or absolutes, and one that has recently grown exponentially…” [Read full release.]

I do not know who issued this press release. For more information on my limited interactions with unknown Anonymous sources you can watch the TV interview I had with Max Keiser discussing this.

When I originally wrote about an “Empire State Rebellion,” I was suggesting the possibility of Americans gathering in lower Manhattan’s Financial District en masse, as Egyptians did in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, to demand that the big banks be broken up. Since suggesting this idea, the report went viral, with many sites either republishing or linking to it. My various email inboxes exploded with people and groups, from across the political spectrum, saying that they wanted to make this idea into a reality. Shortly after that, an Anonymous video calling for an Operation of the same name was released, which has received over 150,000 views on our YouTube page, and an additional tens of thousands of views on other YouTube accounts and video sites as well. My interview with Max Keiser discussing the potential for a mass protest in lower Manhattan even inspired a Dubstep music remix entitled, “Empire State Rebellion: An Idea Whose Time Has Come.”

There’s also a music remix of the first OpESR video, created by an Anonymous DJ named FSS34, that is quickly becoming an anthem for the movement. The song mixes in lines from the manifesto with quotes stating:

“People need to understand that they can not get away with this…. The United States government no longer represents we the people…. We are the Paul Reveres and Patrick Henrys of our generation. You will be the intelligence Minutemen of this century. The power is in your hands…. We are about to bury rule by secrecy….”

From what I know about Anonymous, I have great respect for the concept and ideal. As I wrote in an earlier report, “Organizations such as WikiLeaks and Anonymous are playing a critical role in exposing information and protecting those who are critical of the most powerful and corrupt elements within society.” A few months ago, when our site was attacked and knocked offline, it was Anonymous members who came to our defense and helped us when no one else did. Without these unknown protectors, we couldn’t afford to continue to stave off attacks and keep our site up. For that, we have much gratitude and appreciation for them.
