We know a diver is seen coming up to her after the plane crash. Usually these DS plane crashes kill all aboard. Seems odd they would complicate it more by having a plane crash along with a diver to kill the woman. However, if someone wanted to make it look like someone died who was taken away safely, this would make sense.
- John Perry Barlow:
I kept wondering how Q would know this guy would soon die of a heart attack. Did he know of DS plans to kill him? If so, why did he do nothing? Again, this makes me wonder if he was just whisked away to a safe location.
Do you think think Anonymous and Q are related? Read my comment on this post it'll put the question into more light. Anonymous seems like some thing Barlow would create given his... "vision of the internet".
As far as I have been able to figure out Anonymous was a controlled opposition by the DS to distract from real anonymous hackers who were getting close to threatening their secrets.
You alluded to the group in your main comment, but I dont believe people like Assange were themselves hacktivists. Assange was a journalist and he would publish, after whetting, hacked material as per the journalistic standards. Snowden was not an hacktivist. He was a CIA plant sent to bring down NSA when Obama found out he could not trust Adm Rogers, especially since NSA was able to surveil on CIA operations.
I don't know Barlow from before, only what I read after Q. He seems to be an activist rather than a hacker.
But just because these people might not be the kind of hacktivists you referred to, does not mean those hacktivists did not exist. The probably did, but we probably never heard of their names, precisely because they were anonymous. Some of them were probably (real) journalists as well.
