Thanks for texting back. I was starting to presume that you're constantly ditching phones as to avert tracking. Then again, I have no idea how technology works.
OK, so I'm working with the Yes Men/Labs and Greenpeace (in a small and totally unofficial capacity). Maybe you saw the whole #shellfail thing, or the parody Shell arcticready.com website. Anywho, GP peeps may or may not have uttered the word "Anonymous," and then promptly claimed they could be nowhere near any kind of action, nor were they willing to specify. Andy of the YM put out some feelers, nothing stuck, apparently. It's not really their scene, so the task fell to me -- the guy who doesn't understand technology. That's why I texted you.
I have no idea what GP/YM have in mind other than an action that'll get the press to pay some attention to Shell's Arctic summer lease, their ancient equipment, and their total inability to deal with a spill in that environment. Not to mention the whole suicide by carbon dioxide angle. They've been great in getting some #shellfail press, but species survival seems like something anons might be into, too. Um...off the top of my head: it would be amazing to replace Shell's site with the spoof. But, again, I have no idea how technology works. I dunno! The headlines should be "Anonymous takes on Arctic Drilling/Climate Change/Shell Oil". Sorry for being so vague/dumb. Whatever happens, if anything, GP can't be connected to this, so hush on that, please & thank you.
Excuse my ignorance, but what are our options? I was just hoping to plant a seed somewhere, and watch something grow organically. But, again, I have no idea how this works.
I'm trying not to bug Andy because he's on vacation, but if he needs to hop on an IRC at some point, that's probably doable. I'll loop him in on this conversation if it seems promising. (He's one of my heroes, so I'm hesitant to bother him about things that might not go anywhere and will therefore make me look like an idiot.)
