  subvert, subversive, subversion                                               
    per Google: "Subvert - Verb; Undermine the power and authority of (an       
    established system or institution)."                                        
                                                                                
  Fearing the wrath of Anonymous, some thugs employed by Bay Area Rapid Transit 
    shut down four transit stations last Monday during rush hour, stranding     
    thousands of commuters. Everyday citizen Ignatius Taint wondered aloud why  
    "stopping some teenage hackers is more important than getting me to this    
    fucking interview."                                                         
                                                                                
                                   ======                                       
                                                                                
    To the Powers that Be:                                                      
                                                                                
Many of us are scared and angry. We see that your money systems are imploding,  
and that your governments are growing more corrupt and oppressive every day.    
Your political systems offer us nothing but false dichotomies. Every month, we  
see new half-cocked legislation targeting our lulz. When our brothers simply    
vandalize a website, you try to put them in cages for decades, crying           
"cybercrime" and "domestic terrorism."                                          
                                                                                
This is confusing, because we are in the right. You're punishing us for simply  
voicing our displeasure, for saying that we aren't satisfied with the status    
quo.                                                                            
                                                                                
We see your control slipping. In 2009 Uncle Sam spent a third of 'our tax       
dollars' paying down the INTEREST on his credit card bill [1]. Most of those    
dollars go to the banks who own the Fed. And for the cost of a couple wars, you 
could have converted all our cars to sustainable alcohol fuel and built another 
space station to boot.                                                          
                                                                                
But you don't want that. You can't exist without the archaic institutions that  
you have built, like the oil and war industries, the prison-industrial complex, 
America's state education system, and centrally controlled money systems. If you 
allowed free markets to exist, you would be bankrupted by competition. You are  
parasites on the backs of the human race.                                       
                                                                                
Tools like Bitcoin, gpg and darknets allow us to escape your control systems.   
We're going to trade, work, and live without playing your silly games and you   
can't do a thing about it.                                                      
                                                                                
Know that you can't silence us and you can't scare us. We're not going to fight 
you, because you have guns with psychopaths behind them. Instead, we are        
subverting you. We're building our own systems to replace yours. They're better 
systems, with blackjack and hookers. And every time someone chooses our systems 
over yours, your power wanes another tick. We won't stop until you've become the 
Powers that Were.

    To everyone else:                                                           
                                                                                
If just a few hundred Anons can shut down city transit centers, imagine the     
problems we can solve when millions of earthlings start working together to     
replace those broken systems with better ones. We can build marketplaces where  
we use digital cash to trade without heeding the taxes and regulations of the   
Powers that Be. Once we stop using their money, their institutions will crumble 
quickly, and we can move on to solving world hunger, exploring the cosmos, and  
living in peace.                                                                
                                                                                
But this task is far too big for any one group to complete, even Anonymous.     
                                                                                
Anonymous, /r/conspiracy, TPUC, tragedyandhope.com, Infowars - these are all    
large subversive communities with varying philosophies and goals, but all share 
the goal of subverting the status quo in favor of something better. Many members 
only act within their local networks, because they simply haven't heard of the  
myriad other communities, filled with millions of fellow subversives, or they   
don't have time to look them up.                                                
                                                                                
These groups have never had a common thread, a common context, that allowed them 
to find each other and build global networks.                                   
                                                                                
    Until now.                                                                  
                                                                                
We present the open source brand: SUBVERSE. This is a brand to mark subversives 
and subversive communities worldwide. We need this precisely because we are so  
disparate - it's a symbol representing our common cause.                        
                                                                                
By 'open source', we mean that no one owns this brand. You are free to use it as 
you see fit, for yourself or your communities, in perpetuity.
