 Since the internet began as a defense project, military contractors have more or less run the show since Day 1, and we all exist in their little science lab. With the CIA/DoD incubating companies such as Google, Microsoft & Texas Instruments to build the cornerstones of their future panopticon, they constructed an incredibly boring digital bureaucracy that mirrors the bureaucracy of the real world. Since the internet began as a defense project, military contractors have more or less run the show since Day 1, and we all exist in their little science lab.

-In the early 2000's the Fediverse merged with hacktivist collective //(and fellow egregore)// **Anonymous**, giving them access to Anon's coveted memetic infrastructure, and Grandfather Clause Rights to every distant descendant of 4chan. Now positioned upstream of virtually every online trend, they are able to utilize Anon's influence networks to covertly mobilize vast swaths of the internet into willingly doing the government's bidding - no matter how destructive or asinine it might be.+In the early 2000's the Fediverse merged with hacktivist collective //(and fellow egregore)// [[hazards:anonymous|Anonymous]] giving them access to Anon's coveted memetic infrastructure, and lucrative Grandfather Clause Rights to every distant descendant of 4chan.

 In recent decades, many government agencies //(along with a faceless network of [[hazards:ngos|NGOs]] and military contractors)// have gotten in on the whole "internet" gimmick. This was not so much a problem for the rest of us back in the 90's and early 2000's, when there was no cooperation between federal assets as to how to represent the interests of the government online. This changed with the Obama administration //(and the subsequent Trump and Biden administrations)//, with the executive branch //(and its varied corporate benefactors)// leading the push for a more centralized internet. Eventually these parties secretly declared that everything from social media and chipmakers to niche internet forums were all "//zero-trust infrastructure//" that needed to be "//regulated//" to "//stop terrorism//." And to seal the deal, a rubber-stamp legislature and judiciary enabled it every step of the way. In recent decades, many government agencies //(along with a faceless network of [[hazards:ngos|NGOs]] and military contractors)// have gotten in on the whole "internet" gimmick.

 However, their crowning achievement was to turn [[hazards:anonymous|Anonymous]] into their personal army. This was no simple feat to pull off, as many had tried this in the past and failed. It was in the waning days of Occupy, that a [[tactics:flank#pincer-movements|pincer movement]] was mounted on Anonymous by Wall Street's various agents: From one side, the [[hazards:wingnuts|DNC]] siphoned away much of what remained of Occupy for the Barack Obama re-election campaign. From the other side, many careerist [[hazards:rats]] swooped in like vultures to [[tactics:dox]] Anons for internet clout & immunity from prosecution. However, their crowning achievement was to turn [[hazards:anonymous|Anonymous]] into their personal army.

-This was all done with the assistance of mysterious intelligence, military & law enforcement assets that had been [[tactics:lurk-moar|lurking]] in the shadows since the early days of 4chan & Encyclopedia Dramatica. Some allege the feds even incubated the entire imageboard scene in the first place, which isn't far-fetched considering how many early influential characters had security clearances.+This was all done with the assistance of mysterious intelligence, military & law enforcement assets that had been [[tactics:lurk-moar|lurking]] in the shadows since the early days of 4chan & Encyclopedia Dramatica.

 The remnants of the once-mighty /i/nsurgency //(those who had not already fled for the hills, as this storm had been visible on the horizon for several years)// made various pacts to part ways. Like the **Lost Tribes of Israel**, these Anons split for the four corners of the Earth and took on new identities, and many of them were never heard from again... The remnants of the once-mighty /i/nsurgency //(those who had not already fled for the hills, as this storm had been visible on the horizon for several years)// made various pacts to part ways.

 To even begin to grasp how thoroughly Anonymous has been fused with the Fediverse, requires an understanding of what happened to Anonymous after 2011 and Occupy Wall Street. To even begin to grasp how thoroughly Anonymous has been fused with the Fediverse, requires an understanding of what happened to Anonymous after 2011 and Occupy Wall Street.
