Hello Mr. Brown,
I’m writing from Tempo Magazine. We had talked about ‘Anonymous’ on March, 2011 but we couldn’t publish the interview that we did. Now, we want to give place to you on July.
You know, lastly Anonymous is famous now bceause of ‘Operation Turkey’.. and our public wonder this group and their vision and aims.
May be I will ask you to some questions about this issue…
Could you answer me?
I’m looking forward for your answer.
Best Regards,

Helle Mr. Brown,
After I read your answers, I have some questions. Can you answer them, please?
Also, I will be at home all day on Wednesday, 3 May. Can we talk from Skype? And I need your high resolution photograph and you can add photo for article, we can evalute them too.
Sure, we can do that.
- What is the story of the film? Are you script writer of this film?
The story involves an American scriptwriter who ends up writing speeches for both candidates in a U.S. election. I am the originator and writer, yes.
- You said that you’ve involved in Anonymous culture for six years. How did you hear them for the first time?
I think it was a famous prank that was pulled by someone associated with them, and then I started reading about their culture and immediately knew it had potential.
- Have you ever contact with any Anonymous member? What did you talk about?
Yes, I talk to dozens of anons each day. We discuss our operational work, helping new countries, exposing corruption in the U.S. and elsewhere but we also discuss sociiology and the nature of the internet.
- You said the number of members exceed 10 thousands, so can we say that not only hackers in Anoymous?
Hackers only make up a small part of Anonymous. An important part, of course.
- What will be the next action of this group? What do you think about it?
We just began an initiative to take down a major U.S. firm called Palantir which we have caught lying about their work with HBGary.
- As answering the questions, you always said ‘we’. What ‘s your connection with Anonymous?
I am an active strategist, spokesperson, and theorist.
- Anonymous is an illegal group and you give information about them. Isn’t it dangerous?
It is not a crime to be involved in Anoonymous. DDOS attacks are possibly illegal. But if I am arrested, I will ensure that our message is conveyed.
- How many groups are there in the world like Anonymous?
Not many yet, but some are now appearing, quietly.
- Recently, what dou think about social media after revolt of middle east latterly?
I've always thought social media was a major key to liberty. The shutting down of the Egyptian internet helps to prove it.
