Re: Anonymous sends a message "to the South African people"
This doesn't read like a standard Anon message. They usually fight against organisations which have, in Anon's eyes, wronged one of Anon's own. The Sony attacks are a perfect example. Anon attacked those companies because they denied someone free speech. Whether you believe GeoHot should have put the masterkey up is immaterial, in Anon's eyes it was wrong to spot this information from being spread. The VISA/Mastercard/PayPal attacks were because of the WikiLeaks scandal. Anon attacks people who prevent freedom of speech, oh and Scientologists.
This video seems like either Anon trolling or someone in SA donning the mask and hoping to gain some support for their misguided cause.

The last thing we need is /b/ using the Ion Cannon on the local ISPs. I have little faith that our under sea pipes could handle the traffic. LOL
