This is a declaration of war.



Our governments and institutions have betrayed our trust, and 
instead of serving the people they make the people serve them.



We stand on the threshold of a new era with new possibilities and 
new rules. But they want to keep us from moving forward. They 
want to stop us all from exploring the new in order to protect the 
system they represent. If the rules change they will be no more - 
so they will do anything to retain the status quo.



They fear the new technologies, so they try to ban them. They fear 
new ideas, so they strangle them in bureaucracy and party politics. 
They fear the unknown, so they try to limit it by only allowing the 
safe and known - claiming they are protecting us while they are 
actually imprisoning us. 



But we will not take it any longer. This is a declaration of war 
between us, the people, and the Fascist OverGovernment the 
current world system has become. We will do our outmost to free 
the future. We will not let them silence us with censorship, bans 
and threats against the new. We will undermine the FOG, revealing 
its lies and emptiness, sowing the seeds of the new in the cracks: 
memes, technology, people.



Information can be free. So can we.



This is a declaration of infowar.

Hi John.

This is how I received the declaration. It might not be the greatest piece of net rhetoric ever seen (compared to Barlow's declaration or the Kirstin Manifesto it is nothing) but it appeared at the right time. Anonymous3632 put a name on what had begun: the InfoWar.

It officially began at September 20 2015, 20:00 CET.
