The authorship story
Rolling Thunder, subtitled an anarchist journal of dangerous living, ran for eleven issues between 2005 and 2014, publishing action reports, analysis, and history from the CrimethInc. ex-Workers Collective. As with everything the collective publishes, articles carried no individual bylines: anonymity is both security culture and a statement that ideas belong to no one. The contributors are deliberately anonymous and remain so. This entry reports that documented arrangement and, per this site's editorial standards, treats the anonymity as a choice to be respected rather than a puzzle to be solved.
