Thank you Mr. Bauwens. Please forward this to the list on our behalf:
To better serve this Project and in order to focus on this idea instead of
the community behind it, we have chosen to remain anonymous.
This is a call-to-arms to initiate a conversation within the cipherhacking
& non-violent Civil Rights worldwide community.
The impersonal and collaborative nature of a karma-based crowdsourced
'Authority' makes it impregnable to disinformation in regards of its
ultimate incentives and motivations, which can just be justified as solely
Justice and Freedom oriented.
As Mr. Bauwens has commented, this is not a secret project and we are not
hiding: no proxies or any other means to conceal our IPs have been used to
register the hushmail or gmail accounts used to coordinate this Project,
hence we wish to remain fully accountable and responsible for our actions
if/when it be deemed suitable by any legal authorities demanding it.
We are more than ready to publicly step forward should the circumstances
and/or the greatest good towards this Project require it.
Any journalists, legal or technical experts in secure p2p network design
wishing to contribute, to support, to publicly endorse a Manifesto and/or
to stay informed about this Project, please contact us at either
projectmayhem (at) hushmail.com or
projectmayhem2012 (at) gmail.com (preferably this one).
Please include the word 'antispam' in the subject line.
Yours sincerely,
p.m. team

"Dangerous ideas are likely to confront us at an increasing rate and we are
ill equipped to deal with them. When done right, science (together with
other truth-seeking institutions, such as history and journalism)
characterizes the world as it is, without regard to whose feelings get
hurt.
[...]
Also, it's hard to imagine any aspect of public life where ignorance or
delusion is better than an awareness of the truth, even an unpleasant one."
