Not true!! The young are the most easily fooled! Especially because of the internet! Take a few hundred gullible kids and get them to join a facebook group. You reach a tipping point and the growth is self sustaining. If you have a moral stance in the message board of that group you have successfully converted thousands of kids to your viewpoint. Kids want to fit in because of safety in large numbers.
Great, a bunch of kids in their moms basement will DDOS the federal reserve's website.
I can't believe anyone takes anonymous seriously. They're internet pranksters. Remember their collective action to get revenge for the wikileaks stuff? They took down the mastercard website for maybe 2 hours.
Stupid.

That picture reminds me of Fallout 3, one of the best kick-ass video games.
Don't discount what they're doing. The internet is starting to change everything by easily bringing people together (quickly) and easily sharing of views/agendas.
Maybe this action plan won't work right now, but it looks like me to be the first seed from the young guns.
I'd cheer them on if I were you all because one of the few times a government listens to people is when they get restless.
PS. You can bet the FBI/NFA are onto these people. That's how a Police states operates these days. Don't worry though, it's all in the name of 'freedom'

What do we call when a small group of people want to achieve a certain change by threatening organizations or the government or the bigger part of society?
Oh yeah, we call that terrorism. Generally, no government can give in to such demand, because if they give in on Monday to Anonymus, Tuesday it is the stampcollectors, Wendesday it is the boy scouts, Thursday it is the polar bears,etc...
Then every little group will follow, seeing the precedent. So their demand is naive at best....
And if they criticize the Fed, why don't they demand policy changes, instead of the chairman's removal? Bernanke could be replaced with a guy who does the same, so it is not really the chairman, but the institution...

I don't think there will be a revolution. People are too busy watching television and pornography.
