Alt: What inspired you create Operation Ferguson?

Commander X: Righteous indignation and outrage.

Alt: Recently it was discovered The National Guard referred to Ferguson

Protestors as "ENEMY FORCES". From my view there seems to be a coordinated

effort from the State to undermine the Ferguson Protestors the entire

#blacklivematter movement even.. Am I drinking the conspiracy kool‐aid?

Have you experienced or witnessed anything that made you feel the same way?

Commander X: I think that from their perspective all protest

movements are the enemy. So this sort of thing does not surprise

me. I have been an activist for 30 years beginning with the

Anti‐Apartheid fight in the '80's and to be perfectly honest

not much has changed in regards to how the USA governments view

dissent. We are simply in a position to reveal this to the world

because of the technology we now have at our disposal.

No I don't think you're drunk on Koolaid. As I said, in their

eyes we endanger their way of life and system. And we do in fact

represent a serious challenge to this system.

And I think that deep inside, they know that people like

them will have no place in the new world that protest movements

around the globe are fighting to bring about.

So this makes us all "enemy combatants" to them.

Alt: Your Operation Ferguson page radiated love and unity and I want you to know

we appreciate you gangster. Tell us more about setting up the operation.

Commander X: I knew from the first hour of Op Ferguson, as I raced

to set up the site and Twitter while Mike Brown's body still lay

in the street ‐ that this Op would need to be handled very

carefully. I have made every effort to make certain we never try

and lead from the front, or to try and preach any particular

protest ethic or strategy. I knew that to win the hearts of the

POC's in the BLM movement we would need to be very cautious about

showing perfect solidarity with their ideas, their voice, and

their rage. This old white hippy even learned to love hip hop!

I believe from speaking with TefPoe, Bassem Masri ‐ and many other

BLM protest leaders in Ferguson and across the USA, that we

succeeded in this and thus won their trust in Anonymous. I know

for a fact (I can't say how I know this) that Mike Brown's parents

are delighted with Anonymous being involved in the fight to seek

justice for her son. I am really happy we could get it right, and

help these people fight against this genocide. It has been one of

my greatest honors as an Anon to stand and fight in solidarity

with these beautiful people. If I could return to the USA I would

live in Ferguson in a heartbeat.

Alt: The film HACKER WARS by Vivien Lesnik Weisman implies that the FBI

helped create AntiSec and were instrumental in promoting Occupy Wall Street.

What the fuck do you make of this crazy shit?

Commander X: Sabu did NOT create AntiSec. AntiSec is

actually an old BlackHat term for a certain hacking philosophy, it

dates back decades. It was adopted by the former members of

LulzSec as a group name because that philosophy seemed to them to

line up with their intended purpose. While Sabu was certainly a

big cheerleader for this new group, he neither came up with the

idea ‐ nor

was he their "leader" in any sense of the word.

As for the FBI promoting Occupy Wall Street that is rubbish. I was

IN the IRC channel the day Anons (NOT Ad Busters as is reported)

came up with the very idea and even the name of Occupy Wall

Street. Myself and hundreds of Anons in the USA worked night and

day to assist and promote Occupy Wall Street. Sabu was but one

voice. And that's all he was was a voice, he never actually did

anything useful for the cause except tweet.

Alt: Any words of encouragement to all the <would be> freedom fighters and

script kiddies out there who may be terrified of the states reach.

"Courage is not a lack of fear. Courage isfear that has said it's prayers." <Commander X>
