Hi D-man. Sorry for the delay. Been busy running from the pain of losing you. Thank you for waking me up and trusting me with the brilliant boys for #Op ___. You will go down in history as one of the greatest men whoever lived. The last words you ever spoke to me got through. They found ground and produced the results I believe you intended. They will never be replaced or removed from every fiber of my being-- "Stand up and stand strong. Keep doing your fun but open your lips to speak and be heard. Your freedom is only in following love's lead. You know that so do it. You never need doubt your heart, it is a good one, and it's too outward coiled to let you find much rest in a world wherein humanity is under siege by greed, hatred and war. Let truth be the source of your courage. Do your thing despite fear, worry and doubt. Love will deal with all of that. Anywhere love takes you is a place where you will have freedom and peace, Brother. Even on the battlefield. So live in that love and let your hunger for justice rekindle that fire that you once had in your belly. Eat Brother Eat."

PS. Back on grid. have to be stupid to be smart. So if you see any guardian angels looking for something to do please mention that                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          my team could use a little extra watching over for awhile.

Owen, thanks for that talk we had when I was looking death in the face over my custody battle. You encouraged me to learn more and never give up asking questions no matter how people responded to me. Because of you, I have made it further than I ever expected, RIP brother, you will be missed! - Stu

-d.o.c.-, the savior of us all. One way or the other.


In mindset, attitude, ideology and most importantly, in manor... doc was a true an0n.

Back before mitnick sold out, red boxing was cool and while google was still on a table in the garage, I was still nestled in daddies ball sack. I was born soon enough though, just in time to experience the crash in the 80's and grew up poor as all hell. Lucky for me an Uncle was going to a tiny community college and he lived so close he was able to study at grandmas in his room. Needless to say, little ol me was curious to see what uncle was doing upstairs. Turns out he was playing some karate game on the tv, while typing homework and fidgeting with a stick box button. When he asked me if I wanted to know how to change the colors (shades-b/w) of the figures on the screen, I was skeptical but I watched. It was the coolest thing in the whole friggin' world to me. Since the whole family had to scratch money together to get him through the cost of college books, he was happy to regurgitate everything he learned that day for the sake of memory refresh. It came easy while I was young and I practically graduated with my uncle from college with a bachelors, yet I was just 12 years old. Moving on from that point, my mind hungered for knowledge of the digital realm. It was missed and of course, school bored me and my grades took a hit since I didnt have any motivation to complete the provided 'establishment' education. *ihatenuns. Now the only science I consumed was from an 8th grade class level writer, a failed individual that can do nothing but tell kids what is correct and what not. I failed in math and many other subjects, they tried to flunk me. Got testing and ended up skipping a grade, for the first time have I tasted the sweet sweet nectar of proving that the system doesnt work. In a way, I manipulated my own progrm. Knowing the secret of getting through school quickly, be lazy- wait until fail- get testing and skip grade, I knew I had an eye for patterns. Once I got into it, I was hacking my whole life. I graduated from 'high' school when I was 15. I had all the testing done and everyone said I am a genius but the problem is that my family didnt have the funds to send me to the schools these people suggested I needed. Doomed from the start, IF you follow the system and allow them to lead you. Here I chose to do what I could do as a 15 year old shitty public school graduate. Not a god damn thing besides getting high (pep, cocarettes, speed, pot, lsd, shrooms and spinning vinyl at local clubs w parental permission.) and hacking ALL the things. Sometimes hacking them together with others during times when nothing was automated.. A hop meant: run to the next phone booth (or port, infrared beam etc), strap up, dial and check your cords.. Yeah those were the times (heavy backpacks!). Then I had to get a job to afford ISDN stuffs + laptops and everything shifted to internet cafes and the 'homeless hacker'/google era. Ill just cut right there, otherwise this will go further than it already has. Anyways, doc inspired me to not 'just' be a hat but to be able to appreciate all the hats. I would have to say, that was a life saving inspiration in a time they were hunting people that owned computers and were armed with curiosity. I will always be thankful. It gave me time to get my real life together, play the systems game again, clean my vest, hide the hat and get a move on professionally. Did what I had to do, built an avatar that the system accepted and I even ended up working for the very people that have oppressed people like us for so long.. Coincidence? I think not.

Being human caused me to become a natural hacker, a social engineer extraordinaire. I learned like/feel/need/perceive is a variable depending on where you go. Some places, folks give you their like for nothing at all and other places: I had to work for it. Either way, I had to harness this newly found knowledge and tinker further. Life has big one big puzzle if you ask me and I was destined to find the box cover. Every advantage is great, even those advances that people are no longer capable of thinking of. They are in old sheep mode, guide dog not needed or might heard themselves.

It is the direct result of society and perceived humanity attempting to mold each and every one of us they way a consensus perceives it is the best for the individual. I have always protected my true self and merely 'agreed' to the delusional opinion being a necessary evil to the ends of freeing me from their control. Yes, it is sad on all counts.

Remember, they only mattered because I needed certain results in order to move forward, they are all just nodes I bnc'd off of. WHen I met doc, the seed of what anonymous is to me was planted. Surely back then he had the right idea. Now that I am back, I am proud to see what has grown out of how he lived his life. All I can say is, its unbelievable how strong his spirit lives among so many worldwide. Its like we are offspring in a way, which is sick because ive probably fucked 3 of my own sisters, lol.. anyways.

We all morph and move on eventually.
Except us, WE ARE LEGION, NEVER FORGET.

It's been a year already. I don't know if it's felt longer or shorter than that. Some days the pain is still fresh, but other days I don't think about you at all. It's hard to move on after losing someone that had such a big part of your daily life for so long, but always know that you had a positive impact on me.

At times I wish you were still here, but I know life was a struggle for you for a while. I can't imagine that pain. I don't know how you did it at times, you were so strong.

You will never be forgotten, nor will what you taught me.

Dear Owen, I prayed when I was a teenager for someone to come and help me change the world. I remember talking to you and asking you to help me with that. If it weren't for you, none of these people would be here. Now of these people would exist for this cause, for this group. I did not have the skillz nor do I have them now but you did. Thank you Owen for answering my call, for listening to my God and helping set this off. You were a good friend. Peace. I hope you are enjoying Heaven just as much as I did.  Also, I never liked the term old fag, nor did i like new fag. It sounds weird. even though it's an acronym.

All things, because we are human, eventually lose their full value and effect because we have such short attention spans and things that were the forefront eventually begin to fade into the background and blend in. At that time it is quite necessary for something of precious value to be plucked away... only to gain the attention again, to bring things back to the forefront... to strengthen the cause even more than it ever was. I never knew Owen... I have not yet known any of you... but I have watched... I have heard and I have listened and I will soon don the mask with my brothers and sisters. So, no I do not know you yet but I respect and love you all and I trust when you say how precious Owen IS that you are more than righteous and probably can not, with mere words, express how great he is (not "was") and how important a role he has played in the many lives of those who knew him and also in those who are clueless to the changes he has provoked in this world on their behalf. I just know for a fact that the loss of him physically from this world was for 2 reasons. To make you all stronger... and so he can represent us all in another realm. He is certainly making his connects and building his following there where he is now while watching over us all here at the same time. I am convinced... I need to learn nothing more... Thank you all for what you do. I will be honored to be with you in every way.

It's always hard to hear that a brother has passed, especially one as well known and inspirational as yourself. May the light never die in this fire. It is often said that when one of us die, two will take their place. For a man like you my friend, it will take more than that, but you know that the battle never ends and you knew that you were a part of something way bigger than yourself. As a collective, we will fill the shoes that you have left behind and eventually accomplish the goals that you share with us to mold the future and create a better world. May you rest in piece my friend and may whatever reality or entity you have found watch over you and protect you. Until we meet again.

The fight for anonymity

July 23, 2015

 Many people don't understand Anonymous. They don't understand that there are people out there, past and present, who have dedicated a significant part of their life building up an infrastructure and idea so that people can take the name and use the resources to fight for a better world. They don't understand that there are strong connections and friendships that get built through these pseudonymous channels and that many individuals take on real risk when they supported various political causes around the world through the banner of Anonymous. Owen was one such core contributor who fervently believed in the idea and egalitarian ethic behind Anonymous and who also worked on building and maintaining the IRC infrastructure so that others could join in and be part of something larger than themselves, so that they could be part of a collective who fights for the right to be obscure. This right embodies a series of defiant, principled refusals; a refusal to allow the state to track its citizens; a refusal to allow corporations to convert personal communications into profit or manipulate their personal desires; a refusal to capitalize off each other’s labor and, especially risks; a refusal, in essence, to prevent a powerful idea—that we are and can be anonymous—from withering away. Before Owne left his body he has done his part to ensure that a powerful idea will remain here with us for at least a while longer. Thank you Owen.

 



A dear friend and great mentor

July 22, 2015

Iowa (I still prefer that nick) was not only a great friend, but for the last five years has been my mentor as well. As always, he was a very honest, upfront and rough, but always caring and always looking out for me. If it were not for him, I would never have come this far. He inspired me, and helped me develop a curiosity for learning, and improving myself. He did not only teach me about IT, but also about basic things in the world, like respect, willingness to learn and teach, and so on. A lot of people who knew him well know what I'm talking about. Dennis and I had a special kind of relationship. We often called each other "dad" and "son". Though I do have a great father IRL as well, I considered Dennis almost as a second dad.
During the time he was on trial, it was very hard for us to keep in touch, which was a very difficult time. I sent him mails, once in a while. Though he was not allowed to reply, he told me he really appreciated them, and that he always kept an eye on me, through facebook, which we shared a long time before ( stalking much :') ).
Regardless of his snappy behavior and his cynical remarks, he was a caring person, who never had to think twice about spending time and effort caring about his mother, his friends, or the network he had maintained for such a long time.
Owen, my dear friend/mentor/semi-dad, thanks for guiding me, looking out for me, and teaching me. Thanks for all the good times we spent together, you being there for me when I was down, trusting me, even though I was a brat... I wouldn't have come this far if it wasn't for you. I will miss our idle chat and your advice. But you will always be guiding me. It was a shame we never got to meet in real life, even though we were already planning to make it happen. Instead, I, and all your friends from IRC, will raise a glass in memory of you. You shall never be forgotten.

The best friend I ever had

July 19, 2015

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to my friendship with Dennis.  We talked so often that it all seems to be a big blur at the moment.  I used to jokingly tell people that I was his wife and he would respond "Yeah and the only one I will ever have".  We laughed.  Our son of course was a furry character named elmo.  Dennis and I spent countless hours on the phone and to say I feel so lucky to have known him in such a personal way is an understatement.  We talked about so many things;  his deep love and concern for his mom, his plans for the future, his court case updates and we talked about me.  He told me I'm too emotional, I get my feelings hurt too easily and sometimes he would even snap at me and say "damned women"! lol.  When he was upset, he would send me a message to call him and we would talk and find a way through things.  When he was worried, we worried together.  When he was angry, well then I was angry too.  And when he was having medical problems, I lectured and he ignored me. He was the best friend I've ever had.  So many times we talked about meeting and just talking face to face.  That chance never happened and I regret that so much but I know one thing to be true;  Dennis was always so open with me and me with him, that a face to face moment wouldn't have changed anything other than my one wish and that would be to have hugged him and held him.  Oh Dennis how you made me laugh.  Your online antics kept many of us laughing.  Just last week I kissed him in IRC and he responded with "ewww" lol.  I can't think of all the times he teased me and picked on me for being an "internet dummy" but little did he know, I was smarter than he thought and I did it just so that we could chat together.  Yes, I could not have loved him more if I had been able to give him that hug.  He's right where he belongs and where he's always been....in my heart.  Somehow, with the help of our mutual friends, I will find a way through this and to a place where I smile and laugh each time I think of my dear friend but for now, I'll sit here and know that he is smiling down on me and saying "Ha!  I got you this time"!  We both know what that means.  My friend is not gone and he is not forgotten because I just won't let that happen.  <3 <3 <3
