Humans can spontaneously self organise to a surprising extent. No government was behind Reddit's meme trading, for instance.

Not saying you're wrong. Just that spontaneous bursts of organisation aren't per se evidence of outside influence.

I feel like you missed what Anonymous is supposed to actually be. Anyone and everyone can be a part of Anonymous; queue V for Vendetta.
