Press Release: Anonymous Operation Ferguson
Soldiers On
Saturday - August
29, 2015 9:30 AM ET USA This is the second of only two official Press
Releases ever published by Op Ferguson. Anonymous Operation Ferguson is
far more than just a single Twitter account. We are an entire internet
platform including a now iconic website at
www.OperationFerguson.cf
(a domain registered the very day Mike Brown was killed) an E-Mail
server and more. All of this infrastructure was built within 24 hours of
the tragic and barbaric slaying of Mike Brown, who has always been and
will always remain the primary focus of the Original Operation Ferguson. But even more than the internet set up, even
more than the thousands of man hours of loving labor poured into it, and
into the external media communications that helped make Op Ferguson such
a resounding success, even more than all these things - Anonymous
Operation Ferguson was and is a TEAM. A very particular and unique Team.
Consisting of two seasoned Anons, two Anon activists in the STL/Ferguson
area - and even the daughter of Eric Garner who was slain by the NYPD.
This team of dedicated activists marshaled Anonymous Operation Ferguson
from day one until we past the first anniversary of Mike Brown's death.
Op Ferguson's failures and it's successes are entirely are own. We have
always done our best for the Op. With mind numbing amounts of work over the past
year, the dedicated half dozen activists who make up Anonymous Operation
Ferguson have labored tirelessly to earn the trust and win the hearts of
the incredibly heroic protesters in Ferguson and then beyond. History
and their own stories is testimony that Op Ferguson has been an asset
and ally to what has grown into a global movement of Black Lives Matter,
as well as to all the protesters in Ferguson and St. Louis - who will
always be our top priority. A couple of days ago, one senior member of the
Op Ferguson team took it upon themselves to dismiss the entire rest of
the Op Ferguson team, Every single one of us - and seize control over
the only part of Operation Ferguson she could which was the now iconic
Twitter account. After consulting with the Original Team members of
Anonymous Operation Ferguson, and lengthy discussions with numerous
protesters on the ground in Ferguson - it was decided that we will simply replace
the Twitter account (it is now @OpFerguson2015 ) and soldier on. As the
heroic Bassem Masri once said on the radio, this is a ten year fight at
least. The Original Team of Anonymous Operation Ferguson has always been
in this for the long haul. The unfortunate loss of a single social media
account will not deter us from our steadfast support of the Ferguson
protesters and justice for Mike Brown. As always we thank our many tens of thousands
of supporters around the world. As for the Twitter accounts, we leave it
to your judgement. Trust must be earned, it can not simply be stolen.
Ask yourself if you trust the Original Anonymous Operation Ferguson Team
who saw it through the first year, or an account run by someone who
gained control of it through despicable treachery. For our part, we will
continue to do what we have always done and you should, you
know...expect us. SINCERELY --
