Barrett Brown, journalist, satirist, activist and columnist with links to Anonymous, has been sentenced to 63 months in prison after lengthy litigation.

Brown was charged with three counts: accessory post unauthorized access to a protected computer, threatening a federal agent and obstruction in the execution of a search warrant. Brown was convicted on all three counts receiving a 48 month, 12 month and 3 month sentence all to be served consecutively.

Brown has spent approximately 28 months in jail already which will be credited to his sentence as time served. According to Brown’s attorneys, his best outcome is release to a halfway house after a one year deduction on his prison sentencing contingent upon his completion of a drug program. However, Brown could spend as much as 35 months in prison.

Over 400 cities worldwide demonstrated what a REAL “Wave of Action” looks like, celebrating Guy Fawkes Day (November 5th) by congregating in major city centres the world over to spread messages of awakening to their fellow citizens and commemorate the growth of the Anonymous movement.

Becoming ever larger with each passing year, the Million Mask March (known as MMM) 2014 marks the first major penetration of the event into mainstream media coverage, despite their desperate attempt to black-out MMM in previous years. With this year’s event covered by Reuters and The Guardian, and not just RT, it does seem that the MSM worm is turning. And the BBC have now learned the hard way that if you refuse to cover thousands of protesters converging on a major city centre they may well just bring their grievances to your front doorstep, leaving you little choice but to acknowledge their presence.

A collection of the best of the event media we have seen so far is below, for your viewing pleasure.
