Press Release: #OpGorgonStare

Watching is our nature. Like any hunter we see motion first, then silhouette, then color. Deception and the demolition thereof are our domain, and in this space we are the apex predator.

The Tea Party's motion at first appeared to be grassroots in nature. We have no quarrel with humans, individually or as a collective, so long as they are creatures of the law. The Tea Party of today is neither grassroots nor lawful. The leadership have sold themselves and their followers to the first corporate interest that appeared.

James O'Keefe edits videos and clumsily attempts to tap phone systems. The Chamber of Commerce and their agent, Hunton Williams, obtain the dubious services of HBGary Federal, Palantir, and Berico. Some Tea Party members mimic these behaviors on a smaller scale, and while it defies the imagination, they manage to be even more comical in their execution than those we have named.

Touch a telephone? Explore a computer system? Drop docs on your opponents? Those doing such things who are not born to it take terrible risks, as Aaron Barr and the fools around him are only beginning to learn. Our kingdom of shadows does not issue tourist visas.

Also noticeable to us are the ones who used our logo, closed with our words, and placed between them the language of labor unions and their long struggle against oligarchs. You are not offensive but you are transparent to us. Such pretense is hazardous. We were already with you, watching and planning. Find another means to inform us that we are needed.

Even so, those who dishonor the collective bargaining rights of any worker are liable to disturb our collective. This is a perilous choice.

Today we admit what has long been true. We are here. We are watching and have been for some time. We will now speak, and that which comes from Gorgon Stare, in geostationary orbit over Witchita, Kansas, will fall into the hands of those who operate other assets in low Earth orbit.

We are Legion.

We do not forgive.

We do not forget.

Expect us.
