This paper speaks about important but seemingly unrelated topics that are connected to the hacktivist group called Anonymous which claims to seek mass awareness and to generate revolutions against the corrupt entities while keeping everyone anonymous by using the famous Guy Fawkes mask. Anonymous is a movement of ideas that took as a starting point the idea of Guy Fawkes of blowing up the English Parliament in the year 1605. by taking a colossal amount of gunpowder to the cellar of the building. The purpose of this was to protest against the human rights, since the government of England was causing many iniquities against the citizens; in this way, Guy Fawkes with the help of thirteen friends, who were: “Robert Wintour, Thomas Wintour, Thomas Percy, Christopher Wright, John Wright, Francis Tresham, Everard Digby, Ambrose Rookwood, Thomas Bates, Robert Keyes, Hugh Owen, John Grant and Robert Catesby”I, was able to get inside the English Parliament, down to the cellar and remain there until it would be the time to blow up the above mentioned building. By doing this, they would destroy the power that king James and the ones that followed him had because there was a conflict between the citizens which were Catholic, and Queen Elizabeth I who wanted to make the Protestant religion the only one in England. Since this brought a conflict, some revolutionary citizens, especially the ones who were friends with Guy Fawkes, thought that by blowing up the Parliament and killing King James who followed Queen Elizabeth I, the citizens would have absolute control of the situation. This was not accomplished since one of those thirteen members of Guy Fawkes’s Party thought that if they tried to kill the king, they would be murdering many innocent people, therefore he decided to send a letter to a friend who was at the Parliament. When he sent the letter, King James captured it, he captured Guy Fawkes, (who was found in the cellar with all the gunpowder) was executed on 31st of January 1606. From that year onward, the death of Guy Fawkes is celebrated in England. The ones who are against revolutionary acts celebrate his death and those who follow his ideas celebrate the courage that that man had to hide in the cellar to destroy the Parliament.

On the year 2005 the film “V for Vendetta” was launched to the public and it had a strong impact on the audience due to the fact of the main character being (the reincarnation of a citizen who had been injected with a lethal virus to cause mass depopulation) the one who tried to do justice for all the unfairness produced by the government. A similar situation happened with Guy Fawkes, who tried to make the citizens free from every kind of unjustified act from the Parliament to control every situation. As it was mentioned earlier, the movement of Anonymous, consists in showing true facts that are not being uncovered by the media so, this group, has been doing many positive things to stop the governments from blinding all of us, like protesting in front of many important buildings (with the famous mask of the movie “V for Vendetta”), hacking famous websites just like: the UN (United Nations) official website, the General Council of the Judiciary in Spain, official websites of Syria’s First Lady, Texas department of public safety, the official website of the Office of the President of Croatia, the President of Argentina official website, among lots of many others; as well, this group has exposed the truth through facebook and many other social medias with the layout of “The revolution will not be televised” and other images showing that the revolution against governments of every country around the world will be done through the Internet. There are some problems that this movement is trying to solve by exposing true facts about world present or past situations that the mass media is trying to control by showing things that distort the citizen’s reality in order to be able to control the countries in a more broad and generalized way. We can see on the movie “V for Vendetta” that the beginning of V’s vengeance against the Party, started when the government created a vaccine to cause a massive depopulation, producing the death of thousands of citizens. This can be seen nowadays with the “contradictory” use of Fluoride, a chemical that, some say can cause serious damages to the ones consuming it frequently (it can be found in: water, toothpastes, food, medicines and mouthwashes) because the body stores this chemical in the pineal gland (situated in the brain) and, destroys the brain, bones and organs (this

substance is the main cause of cancer since many that don’t know the true effects consume it. Hence, Fluoride has been used in the past by Stalin and Hitler because they knew that this substance made the prisoners, that were in concentration camps, docile; in other words, these two influential political puppets used this chemical as a mass-control instrument. It is important to bare in mind that Anonymous is a movement that exists in order to seek the truth behind the lies that governments and mass-media show us in order to enslave us so, because of this, they show scientific facts with credible images about things that are happening all over the world (including Argentina apart from manyother countries). Below we see the mask of Guy Fawkes that the group Anonymous uses to hide their faces so that they can’t be recognized easily.

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/guy.jpg Moreover, there’s a book called “Nineteen-eighty-four” by George Orwell, that represents a totalitarian world situated in the future, where the citizens are being controled by different ministries: Love, Truth, Peace and Plenty; those ministries do the opposite thing they say, for example: the Ministry of Love tries to make the citizens (the prole) not to be able to love by torturing them in the meanest ways, the Ministry of Truth tells lies about the

government’s procedures, the Ministry of Peace treats subjects related to war (producing war and making citizens feel anger against Goldstein – someone that might have not existed and to whom the citizens have to show anger) and, the Ministry of Plenty produces starvation in the citizens. Apart from all the negative things treated in this book, there is an Outer Party member, called Winston Smith, that still remembers some things of the past, some words of the past (before the Party members created the language called “Newspeak” that basically makes the citizens to have a more limited language so that they can not revel against the Inner Party members or have any sort of revolutionary thought against them) and that is against the Party members and whom is not quite sure about the existence of Goldstein. Below we can see a clear pyramid of the hierarchy structure in the country of Oceania, in the book of George Orwell.

Furthermore, there’s a strong relationship between the movie “V for Vendetta” and the book, by George Orwell “Nineteen-eighty-four” due to the fact that, in both cases, they have totalitarian governments, someone that tries to make justice to all the injustices commited by the government to enslave the citizens and the strong use of mass media to control the population by hiding the truth. Firstly, we can see in the movie “V for Vendetta” that the government uses the slogan “Strength through unity. Unity through faith.” IIas a common

phrase; by saying that, he means that all the citizens together with the government can make a “better place” and that if everyone has faith in the government, they can be united and thus, not be destroyed. Secondly, we see on the book “Nineteen-eighty-four” that the government uses the slogan “WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH”III; this, is an oxymoron that can be understood in 2 different ways, that will be described underneath: 1. The Ingsoc (name of the government ideas in the book) thinks that they (governors) will have peace as long as they opress their citizens by showing fake images of war, the presidents will have freedom as long as they know how to enslave the population and they will be strong as long as they make ignorant their citizens by showing fake information and not giving them trustworthy resources to search their doubts. 2. In addition, the prole (the working class) thinks that the government’s slogan means that if they are united with the ones that control the citizens, they will be strong enough to fight the other countries invasions; that they have freedom because of doing the things that the government tell them and that they are strong enough to fight anything with the knowledge they have, without knowing (except the main character: Winston Smith) that they are being lied by the government. Moreover, as if it were not enough to use slogans to control the citizens, we can see on the book “Nineteen-eighty-four” that there are many other ways used to control the masses like the following: telescreens, helicopters, an specific dictionary that shortens the amount of words that can be used to express themselves without showing any slight sight of revolutionary word against their government. We see that in the book of George Orwell, that the prole was not able to think what they desired since they were constantly watched by the telescreens that were always turned on (they could not be turned off except for those that belonged to the Inner Party). So, if someone wrote things on a diary (like the main character Winston Smith), used words of the Oldspeak

dictionary instead of the Newspeak and showed any slight movement that proved to be a sign of anxiety, anger, fear or love (towards someone and not for Big Brother – the main figure shown to the prole, as a hero) they would be taken to room 101 to be treated; in other words, the person that deceived Big Brother, would be tortured until the individual became completely fond of Big Brother and unto they felt love for him and not for any other human being. There is a quote on one internet website that says as follows: “1984: People are steered away from consuming rare goods such as Chocolate, Steak, Sugar, Coffee, Cigarettes, and Alcohol by rationing. Now: People are steered away from consuming rare goods such as Chocolate, Steak, Sugar, Coffee, Cigarettes, and Alcohol by warnings that declare that these items are bad for your health.”IV We can say that, in spite of the fact that on a book that was written by George Orwell on the year 1948, the author had a clear perspective of the future that would surround humanity just by having the reality of experiencing the post-war time after World War II. In addition, we can say that the quote shown above happens to be true because nowadays we see that there are problems for those that are passing through a tough situation due to the problem of cancer. It has been shown that either the oil and smoking marijuana can cure the following: “ADD/ADHD, AIDS/HIV, Anorexia, Arthritis, Asthma, Pain from previous car accidents, Alzheimer, Brain Injury, Cancer, Chemotherapy, Chronic Pain, Chronic Nausea, Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, Epilepsy, ESRD/dialysis patients, Side effects from Dialysis, Fibromyalgia, Glaucoma, Head Injury, Hypertension, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Migraines, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscle Spasms, Nausea, Paraplegia, Parkinson’s Disease, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Quadriplegia, Radiation Therapy, Seizure Disorders, Spinal Cord Injury/Disease, Sports Injury and Tourette’s Syndrome.”V As we can see, according to the list shown above, marijuana can be used for good medicinal purposes and not only for recreational uses. It could be said that this plant is banned almost in every part of the world with some few exceptions as: Jamaica and some few states of the USA (United States of

America) because of the fact that this plant, apart from curing those diseases, it can be used for construction, clothes, jewels, fuels, paper, plastic and many other good things. So, if they would make it legal, many big businesses that have companies all around the world would easily lose their customers. Hence, apart from this plant producing such a useful oil, it can be used for many other purposes, such as those that I will show on the following picture:

http://www.torontohemp.com/hempuses.jpg It is known that the only problem in the world is not the legalization of marijuana, but there are many situations that should worry most of us but, that most citizens are blinded by mass media and silly things that appear over the internet (one has to learn how to search informative things in order to be able to learn even from social medias such as: Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and many more). So, because of this, the ones that are having the main impact on the world are those money-addicted corporations and not the

citizens that should be able to show their thoughts through freedom of speech. Moreover, as I mentioned in the beginning, the responsible movement for spreading all this important news about the information of the cures of marijuana, the reality of what is actually happening in Gaza and with all Palestinians, as well as showing the corruption of governments and the awakening of a good amount of citizens around the world in order to fight against our “totalitarian” world (I say this due to the fact that we are being controlled by the huge corporations without being able to express our ideas), is this idea of Anonymous that, as I have mentioned on the beginning, started with the action of Guy Fawkes and his friends to blow up the English Parliament. What is happening with Palestines, is not being televised (if it is televised what is happening it is done covering the complete reality) but, the social media called Facebook is showing horrible atrocities towards kids caused with a chemical called “White Phosphorus”; below, we can see some few photos that were posted on a website.

https://www.facebook.com/PalestineIsOurHeartbeat/photos_stream With respect to the book “Nineteen-eighty-four” and taking into account the information of Palestine (in the city of Gaza), we can see that the government of the United States and the big corporations like Mc Donalds, Burger King, Nike, among others are trying to produce fear in all of us so that we get to be

easier controlled. The same thing happens on the book (above mentioned) between the government showing information through the “Two minutes hate” daily routine, displaying short videos of the fake war with Eastasia (Oceania’s the name of the place where the book is placed). In the movie “Nineteen-eighty-four”, we see that the working class used grey clothes and, lived in grey places (even in the newer version of the colour movie), whereas the inner Party members used bright colours and lived in luxurious places. This can be seen Many individuals that have a wide variety of ideas that make Anonymous what It is today and many influencing authors like the example of George Orwell might be being born these days; surely, to make this world (our world) a much better place where to live with a free way of living and not being dependent of some papers to buy things.
