A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM ANONYMOUS TO OCCUPY AUSTIN

To those who press administration

And call for freedom's resignation

To parodies of schools and senates

Led by self-appointed magnets

Anonymous will first explain

How power works inside the brain

When leaders come at first we trust

But then our trust becomes a must

We hear one say, "Mic check, Mic check"

And we obey: the tent we wreck!

Charisma turns into command

These magnets' words 'come law of land.

Anonymous is an idea. It is not a group or entity. It is not you or me or any single individual. It is an idea.

Occupation is an idea. It is not a group or entity. It is not you or me or any single individual. It is an idea.

In order to foster dialogue, participation, and effective action, you must share ideas and resources, but you do not need the approval of everyone. The 99% is diverse: in background, in ideas, in tactics. When we share common goals with others, our paths may converge for a time, and we may aid each other in common projects. When we fall on deaf ears, we may still find others sympathetic to our cause and accomplish the truly remarkable.

The 99% does not need a general body, a leader, or a spokesperson to represent it, approve of its projects, or cancel out its differences. Our differences are our strengths. Together, we are dynamic and powerful: a pack of wolves, wild, agile, and mobile. Like Atilla the Hun, we do not need to wait on general assemblies or the mailing of paychecks to take effective action.

Remember: stay fluid. Shift ideas, projects, strategies, and tactics... History is on our side. What can't be managed cannot be foreseen. What can't be foreseen can be accomplished,

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
