1. Greetings citizens of the world.
2.  
3. We are Anonymous.
4.        Over the past few years, we have observed the actions of a certain Anonymous member, and are greatly horrified by his behavior.
5.  
6. The Anonymous Collective has witnessed these grievances perpetrated by one KYAnonymous, also known as @DericLosutter who has already been identified as Deric James Lostutter of Winchester, Kentucky.
7. The  manner in which he has conducted himself against fellow Anonymous members and innocent members of the public will not go unnoticed.
8.  
9. Anonymous, this is a call to action. We have stood by for far too long, watching Deric Lostutter lie and manipulate members of the Anonymous collective  and innocent members of the public.
10. Deric Lostutter, you have lied and lied time and time again, and we will accept this no longer.
11.  
12. From the lies, the scamming, the d0xing of innocent people and now this new claim that has come forward about you raping a minor, it is clear that you are not capable of behaving yourself in a manner acceptable to the hive. Because of this, it is now that we must not only ask you to remove all association with Anonymous as a whole, but it is time for us to strike back against you.

For three years the Op De Valreep squatted social center has been a valuable resource for people living in Amsterdam East. On June 17, 2014, after a long campaign to legalize the space, the city of Amsterdam and the developer OCP evicted one of the last vestiges of non-commercial space in Amsterdam East. Supporters of Op de Valreep constructed massive barricades and chained themselves to parts of the building in an attempt to block the city government and the police from carrying out the eviction. Police made multiple arrests in an eviction process that lasted from dawn to dusk.

This was how I spent Thanksgiving 2005.  It was truely an awesome experience.

The Rainbow Emergency Management Assembly gathered in Waveland Missahippie within days of the hurricane disaster, to feed people. They have receieved nothing but love and support from FEMA, Red Cross, numerous Church groups and Hancock County. It is said that before Katrina hippies would refer to Mississippi as MissAHippie because a hippie could easily go "missing" in Mississippi. Now Missahippie has a whole new meaning. The story of Waveland is that of people putting aside petty differences to do what's right and needed by our community of man.

This feabile attempt to tell an amazing tale of cross cultural volunteerism features: Vermin Supreme, Dirty Momma, Heather Bee, Pete Jones, Ben Cauldwell, Doc Stone, Organic Valley, the residents of Waveland Mississippi ... and Flower

That's the attitude from members of Anonymous all across the country as well as supporters of the group all over the internet today and in the recent days. Deric Lostuttter began once again seeking media attention by doing media interviews on behalf of Anonymous, and the organizers of #opmaryville. An operation to bring justice to a teenage victim and her family after a sexual assault occured by football players in a tiny Missouri town

The victim and her family brought charges against Players on the high school football team, but those charges were promptly dismissed by local prosecuting attorneys(citing lack of evidence and the victims refusal to cooperate), and the victim's home was burnt to the ground prompting the family to get out of town. Maryville's Local sherrif quoted as saying that "they did all that they could, but charges were dropped due to lack of evidence and the victim and her family just need to get over it and move on." The victim and her family accuse the sherriff and prosecutors of lying, and deny not cooperating.

Since the end of May 2013, political unrest has swept across Turkey. In Istanbul, a large part of the central Beyoğlu district became a battle zone for three consecutive weeks with conflicts continuing afterward. So far five people have died and thousands have been injured.

The protests were initially aimed at rescuing Istanbul’s Gezi Park from being demolished as part of a large scale urban renewal project. The police used extreme force during a series of police attacks that began on May 28th 2013 and which came to a dramatic head in the early morning hours of Friday May 31st when police attacked protesters sleeping in the park.

Over the course of a few days, the police attacks grew to shocking proportions. As the images of the heavy-handed policing spread across the world, the protests quickly transformed into a popular uprising against the Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and his style of authoritarian rule.

This short documentary tells the story of the occupation of Gezi Park, the eviction on July 15, 2013, and the protests that have continued in the aftermath. It includes interviews with many participants and footage never before seen.

New York, November 2nd 2012--On Avenue C and Tenth Street in Loisaida, the power has just returned after four days of power outage following superstorm Sandy, which made landfall on the New Jersey shore on October 29. Compounded by a full moon and colliding with a low pressure system from the mid west, the storm sent a 14.5 foot surge up both the Hudson and East Rivers. According to Jerry the Pedler, featured in this video, immediately after the flood and power outage caused by the surge, resourceful squatters took their barbecue grills off the roof and emptied their refrigrerators of meat and other foodstuffs that might spoil and set up an open kitchen on the sidewalk. Other neighbors contributed and the ad hoc operation fed about 200 people everyday for four days. On Friday, the FEMA trucks finally showed up on Tenth Street between Ave C and D. However, in recognition of the local community effort, they passed on boxes of A Pack Emergency Rations, bottled water and soda to the street kitchen. Contributing the festivities on Friday evening were the Rude Mechanical Orchestra and two fire dancers.

Speaking at anti MTR giant Larry Gibson's Memorial; photo journalist Paul Corbit Brown explains part of why social movements frequently fail.  He was speaking to several hundred activists gathered in Charleston WV to mourn the collective loss of a great leader in the fight against mountain top removal and several hundred activists from across the country who had tuned in to this live broadcast.

This short documentary looks at the current social crisis in Greece, the growth of alternative economies, general strikes, and the rise of the anti-fascist movement in response to violent attacks by the far-right. After six years of recession, the situation in Greece is growing increasingly dark. As the unemployment rate continues to rise and salaries continue to drop, the country has descended into an increasingly unpredictable situation.
