Greetings citizens of the world,
This is an urgent message concerning the absolutely devastating impact of the tornadoes that left a trail of destruction through Oklahoma on 5/20/2013. A new Anonymous operation is being launched known as #OpOK in an effort to assist with the clean up/recovery effort. There is no limit to who you can help or what you can do... however we ask that you please do something. Many Anons and other humanitarian groups will be on scene to help in anyway we can.
This is an operation that all can assist with and if money, transportation, or any other issues that hinder you from being able to help get in the way, please at least use social media, video, and any other means to KEEP the word moving. As we have seen with #OccupySandy the impact of individuals helping with natural disasters can be tremendous... So please assist in any way you can. WE ARE LEGION and WE have the ability to assist in helping those suffering on the ground. All possible help is needed, so please help if you can.
Immediate needs include (but are not limited to):
Non-perishable donations from nearby communities.
Ready-to-eat meals, canned goods, and water are vitally needed.
Snack items such as peanuts, dried fruit, granola bars, etc.
Gas for generators, Jerry Cans for holding fuel, and generators themselves may be needed soon.
Socks, underwear, t-shirts, etc.
Bandages and basic first aid supplies.
It would be useful to pack supply kits in backpacks so people can transport them as needed.
Coolers are also needed. (There's never enough coolers to keep food chilled.)
Especially important items also include: First aid supplies, gloves, hand sanitizers,
diapers and wipes, tampons, batteries of all typical sizes, and flashlights.
For information about Community / Government operations on the ground and donation drop off points, as well as other useful information such as housing locations, please visit the Pastebin post linked in the description below!
We are Anonymous,
We are Legion,
We do not Forgive,
We do not Forget,
Expect Us.

How Are We Supposed to Know What the Government Does? | VICE United States

The most important reason that the media exists is to tell the public what’s happening and what the people in power are doing about it. That’s increasingly difficult when the decisions that matter are…

DOJ Secretly Obtains Months Of AP Phone Records; AP Calls It 'Unprecedented Intrusion'
Mon, 13 May 2013 20:59:56 +0000
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department has secretly obtained two months of telephone records of journalists for The Associated Press in what AP's top executive says is an unprecedented intrusion into newsgathering. Prosecutors took records showing incoming and outgoing calls for work and personal numbers for individual reporters, plus for general AP offices in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn. The government also seized those records for the main phone number for AP in the House of Representatives press gallery. The Justice Department disclosed the seizure in a letter the AP received Friday. The letter did not state a reason, but prosecutors have previously said they are conducting a leaks investigation into how the AP learned about an al-Qaida bomb plot in Yemen before it was made public last year. Prosecutors have sought records from reporters before, but the seizure of records from such a wide array of AP offices is unusual.
