Hogwarts in the shadows

Chapter 359 Resistors

At the "Rainbow Bridge" forum, the public reaction was particularly intense.

They began to organize themselves and discuss how to expose the government's hypocrisy.

Posts on the forum are no longer simply sharing stories of the "Rainbow Messenger", but have turned to questioning and criticizing government behavior.

"Our freedom of speech has been taken away and our voices have been suppressed, but this is not the end of the story, but the beginning of our resistance," a member with the online name "Voice of Freedom" wrote on the forum.

Members of "Rainbow Bridge" began to plan a series of actions.

Some people made posters and flyers and distributed this information to every corner of the city.

Some people organized large-scale marches to publicly denounce the government's actions.

Faced with the strong reaction from the people, senior government officials began to feel anxious.

On the one hand, they tried to downplay the impact of the report "The Truth Behind the Rainbow" through various channels.

On the other hand, it has secretly strengthened monitoring and censorship of the Internet.

A government spokesman announced that the reports on Internet surveillance were completely false information and were attempts by certain people with ulterior motives to undermine social stability.

They also claimed that all the government's actions were aimed at protecting the public from false information and maintaining national security.

However, these statements by the government did not calm the public's anger, but instead added fuel to the fire, further arousing their resentment.

On the Internet, all kinds of creative words are used to replace the sensitive term "wizard", and the spread of the truth is as difficult to extinguish as wildfire.

Even many technical experts have joined this invisible battle.

They have developed a variety of encrypted communication tools, making it more difficult for the government to monitor sensitive words.

Just when the top government officials were having a headache.

A detailed document of the government's surveillance network was posted on the Internet.

The document reveals how the government systematically violates people's privacy and freedom of expression.

The leak was like the last straw, completely crushing the government's credibility.

The popular resistance reached a climax.

In the United States, the public reaction was the most intense.

In a country that claims to be free and democratic, its people cannot even enjoy the most basic freedom of speech.

Then what kind of freedom is there?

In this social context, people's resistance actions gradually escalated.

The originally peaceful demonstration gradually turned into a more intense struggle.

Hermione had been waiting for this moment, and the document that caused a sensation was also written by her.

In major cities across the United States, the Shadow used various means to organize the angry people.

They are no longer just protesters, but have become a strong force in the resistance organization.

Chanting slogans such as "Freedom or death, we will not be silent," they engaged in a substantial confrontation with the government.

In some cities, clashes between rebel groups and government forces have intensified.

At first these conflicts were limited to sporadic small-scale street fights.

But over time, the scale and frequency of conflicts have continued to increase.

Protesters bravely confronted heavily armed government forces using guns from their homes and homemade improvised explosive devices.

The United States has fallen into unprecedented chaos.

This is despite the government's attempts to portray the rebels as thugs and criminals.

But more and more people are beginning to side with the resistance.

They believe that only through such means can they make the government hear their voices and regain their lost freedom.

Faced with the people's armed resistance, the US top leaders felt extremely troubled.

In the White House conference room, the tense atmosphere almost froze.

Harveys didn't expect that the truth would be exposed in just two months.

Johnson's voice was cold: "We must suppress these rebel groups quickly and decisively to maintain the law and order of this country.

I recommend that additional troops be immediately deployed to the conflict hotspots and authorized to take more drastic measures to quell this violence.”

Stevens disagrees.

“But overly forceful military action could inflame public sentiment and lead to more violence.

We must realize that the root of all this lies in the restrictions on people's freedom of speech.

If we can restore this fundamental right to them, maybe we can find a way out of this problem.”

Gonzalez turned to the large screen in the conference room and displayed the latest intelligence to everyone present.

“Initially these protesters did aim to fight for freedom of speech.

But now their goal has changed and they want to overthrow the government.”

Havis' eyes were as sharp as a knife, looking straight at Leah.

“Emilia, you proposed this matter, and you carried it out personally.

Now that such a big mistake has been made, how are you going to clean up this mess?"

When facing Havis' questioning, Leah's face was full of apology.

"I never thought that things would be exposed so quickly, and all of this is my fault.

I am willing to bear all consequences personally.”

Harvest's voice was filled with anger: "You afford it? How can you afford it?

How could the public possibly believe that such a comprehensive blockade of speech could be planned and executed by a small assistant? "

Leah also had a look of regret on her face, "President, I know that my status is not enough to bear this heavy responsibility.

But at least by standing up I can provide people with an object to vent their anger on, and perhaps calm their anger a little.

And I have a suggestion.”

She looked around and saw that no one spoke to stop her, so she continued.

"Regarding the lockdown, I don't think it's appropriate to lift it completely now."

Her remarks shocked everyone in the meeting room.

They couldn't believe that at such an emergency, Leah dared to put forward such a view.

However, despite being shocked, no one immediately jumped out to refute.

Even Harvest just stared at her in silence.

Leah took a deep breath and continued to explain: “Although some people believe what is said on the Internet, most people are still hesitant.

If we were to lift the lockdown now, all the allegations would be proven and the government’s credibility would be irreparable.”

Harvest clenched his fingers and said in a low voice: "Go on."

Leah cleared her throat and said, “We should recruit a wide range of experts in the Internet field and gradually relax restrictions on public opinion.

At the same time, we can create some evidence to prove that all this was a premeditated act by cyber attackers, and those who resisted were misled victims.

This way we can best protect the government’s credibility.”

Howard pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "This plan can indeed minimize the government's losses and also put all the blame on the wizards."
