I visited Facebook this morning. There was an article from Valley Central declaring, "Federal agents arrest Starr County narcotics investigator." This follows on the backs of numerous corruption allegations across the Rio Grande Valley. It seems every month someone is being arrested for corruption. Upon a quick search on Google about corruption in the Rio Grande Valley, I came across, "Anonymous Message to Rio Grande Valley 2014" on YouTube. I'm surprised I had missed it.
Anonymous has received a reputation for defending the everyday man's interest though online means. However, I feel the legend has outgrown the fact. I, for one, would love to see a group of people who brought down the evil people of this world via the Internet and make this a better place to live. I can think of better places to focus on than The Valley: North Korea and Iran to start. However, I don't think everything you see from Anonymous is what it appears. Let me explain.
Anonymous is an ideology not a specific group of people. If you feel you want to help "them," then you jump on the your computer and read through their chat groups and find out what you can do to help. So basically, anyone can say they are part of Anonymous.
Back to this video I saw from last year. The video makes many great points to the corruption in the Rio Grande Valley. Do I believe the video is going to make any impact? No. Do I believe the people in the midst of corruption are going to run for cover or beg Anonymous to leave them alone? No. For all we know, someone was bored one day and put this video together. Honestly, to me, it looks like someone took a previous Anonymous video and voice recorded over it.
I would recommend taking the time to watch the video if you are not familiar with the corruption in our area. Whether it is from the real heavy hitters in Anonymous or not, it brings up some good information. You might learn something.
