Freedom Seekers are Not Terrorists

Essentially this HOWTO represents the hacker community truly claiming
independence for itself from national and institutional rule. While
many the ideas and techniques present in this document can be found
elsewhere, I believe this is the first time such a coherent, consistent,
and focused collection of these ideas has been assembled for a single
purpose. 17 years ago, we made our Declaration of Independence.
This body of code-law represents a manner of Constitution of
Cyberspace. A basic set of rights we claim for ourselves through our use
of technology.
Because the accusation will inevitably be made, I would just like to
emphasize the distinction between freedom seekers and terrorists. The
type of resistance and revolution discussed here is non-violent, and
singularly focused upon allowing an individual to have real freedom
through privacy and anonymity. While reactionary individuals might argue
that the knowledge presented in this HOWTO could aid actual terrorists,
the reality is they've already had much better training
which has proved to be quite effective in practice. Furthermore, we're
talking about people who are willing to give their lives in their quest:
people whose families, friends, and their own lives have already been
destroyed by Empire. These people will stop at nothing. They don't need
this HOWTO to create new identities for privacy purposes when perfectly
valid ones can be stolen readily. Nor do they care much about
surveillance, since surveillance can't stop a suicide mission. What's
worse, is that on some level the police state must know this. Even being
generous with the reasonable doubt, all evidence seems to indicate that at best it simply used the tragic events of Sept 11 as an excuse for a long awaited massive power grab, with the resulting legislation doing far more to target the average citizen than any particular terrorist network.
I recently had a discussion on Usenet where it was asserted that taking
action to protect yourself and withdraw from the Matrix might generate
even more excuses for introducing oppressive legislation and policy. I
believe this will not be the case, and that moreover this thinking is in
fact defeatist and even dangerous for a few reasons.
First, the Matrix will not and can not overtly fight this behavior, as
any public attention given to it will only provide it with more energy
and momentum. The Matrix media filter won't even allow the individual
pieces of information that lead to the conclusions of this introduction
to be discussed for this very reason. There is no way it would willingly
publicize this ideology in its entirety, even to attempt attack it.
Furthermore, there is no need to. The Matrix already has more than
enough material to drive through as much oppressively restrictive
legislation as it likes in the name of fighting kiddie porn, the War on
Drugs, the War on Terror, and in the name of protecting corporate
profits. As stated above, it is already taking full advantage of this
fact, to Orwellian ends. The interesting phenomenon is that the more
ridiculous the regulations become, the more commonplace it will be for
the public to want to circumvent them, which only serves to strengthen
resistance economies.
Second, if you look at all of history, freedom has never been given to a
populace. Left to its own devices, the state only ever grows more
powerful. It never surrenders power over citizens freely. Take any
instance in history where people have established rights for themselves,
and you will see it was the result of a long, drawn out battle that the
state simply lacked the resources to continue to fight effectively.
Prohibition wasn't abolished because people acted good, honest and
sober, it was because they got falling down drunk and alcohol
consumption soared to new heights while the Puritan state was powerless
to continue to oppress the newly criminalized middle class. Likewise,
Civil rights weren't won because Africans obediently stayed in their
designated rolls, complicitly accepting "separate but equal" facilities
and politely tolerating discrimination. It was because they practiced
civil disobedience and active resistance against injustice.
I believe in civil disobedience, and more importantly, the clear
distinction between morality and law. I believe that it is defensive,
defeatist thinking to say that "if we just be good, they will reward us
and repeal laws." The laws - the DMCA, the Patriot Act, the REAL ID act,
recent supreme court decisions and the now entirely conservative
dominated court - are already essentially fascist and will only continue
getting "tougher" on "crime" and "terror", stripping away the rights of
citizens in the name of "safety" with little real gain except the
hoisting of that Floating Eye on the dollar bill ever higher above the
base. The total surveillance state has been a goal of the current cabal
for time out of mind.
Third and finally, once again I'm not advocating violence here, or even
any sort of crime that has a victim. I'm advocating creating a social
and economic structure based on anonymity (not necessarily illegality)
that drains the corporate state of power and thus weakens its ability to
enforce fascist law and practice.
In my view, the only thing that will cause the state to rescind is the
realization that much like in the 1920s with prohibition, it has
criminalized a vast portion of its population that it is now powerless
to control, and furthermore that its fascist law has done nothing to
safeguard against the true monsters that its foreign policy has created.
Continuation on its current course of action will lead the Matrix to experience ever increasing instances of identity theft, repeated infiltration of data warehouses, massive underground surveillance rings,
and so on. These actions are not advocated in this HOWTO, but they will
inevitably become more commonplace as the Matrix continues to make it
easier to steal an existing identity than to create a new one or
otherwise escape from ceaseless surveillance.
At this point in time, the Matrix faces two options. It can either
choose to allow us to be free, and create official sanctioned means for
people who wish to free themselves from endless surveillance and total
control to operate anonymously within the system, or it can choose to
fight war after costly war on civil liberties and basic human rights
until enough people are fed up with its behavior that they begin to
depart en-mass. Again.
But we already know the choice the Matrix will make. Already I can see
the chain reaction of propaganda, the sound-byte media precursors that
trigger the onset of an emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm
logic and reason. An emotion that the Matrix will use to blind the
masses from the simple and obvious truth: We are going to be free, and
there is nothing it can do to stop us.
