Operation Empire State Rebellion: Individuals claiming to represent the notorious international Internet hacktivist collective known as Anonymous have made a public call via YouTube and other websites for protests to begin June 14, Flag day, in the hopes of forcing Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to resign: Ctrl+Alt+Bernanke.
The goal - engage in "a relentless campaign of non-violent, peaceful, civil disobedience" until Ben Bernanke steps down and the "Primary Dealers within the Federal Reserve banking system be broken up and held accountable for rigging markets and destroying the global economy effective immediately."
The action has been titled "Operation Empire State Rebellion" (#OpESR), and originated in March, when the original call for Bernanke's resignation was made.
In this new video release, "as a first step," Anonymous has called for public protests beginning on June 14th, continuing "until Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke steps down." To make their case, they have presented a list of recent scandalous Federal Reserve actions.

This Flag Day, on June 14th, we will launch a non-violent social movement with this list of demands: End the campaign finance and lobbying racket, Break up the banks, Enforce RICO laws against the organized criminal class, and Order Ben Bernanke to step down.
Those behind Operation Empire State Rebellion list the following grievances against the Federal Reserve:
Federal Reserve policies are systematically looting the country to enrich one-tenth of one percent of the population.
The Federal Reserve has deliberately driven tens of millions of people into poverty.
The Federal Reserve is responsible for Crimes Against Humanity!
The Federal Reserve gave trillions of American taxpayer dollars, in secrecy, to the people who were most responsible for causing our economic crisis.
Our tax dollars were handed out as all-time record-breaking bonuses to top executives at the “Too Big to Fail” global banks.
The Federal Reserve gave American taxpayer dollars to foreign banks and corporations.
The Federal Reserve directly subsidized tax evasion by funneling taxpayer dollars into to the Cayman Islands.
The Federal Reserve gave American tax dollars to their primary dealer banks, so the banks could then lend that same money back to the US government at higher interest rates, leading to significant profits for the banks, at the further expense of the American public.
Through bailout programs the Federal Reserve socialized financial losses onto American taxpayers and privatized profits into the hands of global banks.
The Federal Reserve aids and abets trillions of dollars in accounting fraud.
The Federal Reserve routinely manipulates the stock market.
The Federal Reserve deliberately caused inflation in the price of food, gas and basic necessities, while devaluing the dollar!
The Federal Reserve represents the central planning force behind a global banking cartel that has deliberately impoverished people throughout the world.
Operation Empire State Rebellion issues the following call:
Democrats have failed us.
Republicans have failed us.
No one is defending our interests.
We cannot remain passive while our future is going up in flames.
It is time for us to stand up for ourselves.
It is time for you to stand up for yourself.
We must restore the rule of law and fight back against the organized criminal class.
We must now launch Operation Empire State Rebellion.
The operation will commence on June 14th.
As a first step, we are calling upon you to occupy a public space until Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke steps down.Operation Empire State Rebellion, Engaged.
Does Anonymous really want Ben Bernanke's head? Yes and no. After all, Anonymous is everyone, and no one. What does seem to be clear is that the Anonymous brand has become a powerful symbol of protest and civil disobedience. No doubt in the future more and more dissident groups will look to mount their cause under the flag of Anonymous.
