Wow, I just saw that Anonymous story on Fox 11... I thought they might have been just your everyday 4chan meme spewers who were all talk, but wow.

What are you? A scientologist?
Seriously. No. Not 'this'.
Freedom of Speech is all well and good. But you'd have to your head buried in the sand to not see that Scientology's sins extend well far beyond that domain of free speech.
It is been attacked as a malicious organization. It's not unlike the KKK; whose members spread hateful and destructive messages, which ultimately result in hateful and destructive acts, Scientology acts hatefully, and maliciously towards its own members and to any of its critics for the purpose of its own gain.
If it did not do those things... then there would be no quarrel.
You have to understand how they think here.Eteric Rice said:
They've always had the chance to strike small, churches but haven't since nobody really cares about small churches. Now attacking the Vatican, that's something that could make Anonymous immortal by remembering them as the destroyer of a major religion. Not that they will succeed but they might think it's worth a try.

it's part of the URL to get to the Anonymous board on 4chan.
Xater said:
You've heard of 4chan, haven't you?
It's an anonymous image board that's modeled after the the Japanese 2chan. Everybody is totally anonymous and so the internet fuckwad theory is in full effect. With alias's you can still have reputation to uphold, but when you're anonymous, you start off with a clean slate every time you post.
/b/ is probably the top board on 4chan, and it's fill with some crazy shit. /b/ would use their power of anonymity in the past to do some raids, whether they were backed by morals or "epic lulz". Habbo Hotel used to be a popular target, and they even went after the "God Hates Fags" group at one point.
It's an interesting social experiment, at the very least. You'd be surprised at what people do as a totally anonymous collective consciousness. Participate and you may be surprised as to what you yourself may do.
That being said I doubt that /b/ is going to be successful in their war against Scientology. /b/ is pretty big but they aren't that big, and they can only do so many DoS attacks until they get bored.

Hello, Scientology. We are Anonymous.
Over the years, we have been watching you. Your campaigns of misinformation; suppression of dissent; your litigious nature, all of these things have caught our eye. With the leakage of your latest propaganda video into mainstream circulation, the extent of your malign influence over those who trust you, who call you leader, has been made clear to us. Anonymous has therefore decided that your organization should be destroyed. For the good of your followers, for the good of mankind--for the laughs--we shall expel you from the Internet and systematically dismantle the Church of Scientology in its present form. We acknowledge you as a serious opponent, and we are prepared for a long, long campaign. You will not prevail forever against the angry masses of the body politic. Your methods, hypocrisy, and the artlessness of your organization have sounded its death knell.
You cannot hide; we are everywhere.
We cannot die; we are forever. We're getting bigger every day--and solely by the force of our ideas, malicious and hostile as they often are. If you want another name for your opponent, then call us Legion, for we are many.
Yet for all that we are not as monstrous as you are; still our methods are a parallel to your own. Doubtless you will use the Anon's actions as an example of the persecution you have so long warned your followers would come; this is acceptable. In fact, it is encouraged. We are your SPs.
Gradually as we merge our pulse with that of your "Church", the suppression of your followers will become increasingly difficult to maintain. Believers will wake, and see that salvation has no price. They will know that the stress, the frustration that they feel is not something that may be blamed upon Anonymous. No--they will see that it stems from a source far closer to each. Yes, we are SPs. But the sum of suppression we could ever muster is eclipsed by that of the RTC.
Knowledge is free.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
WE DO NOT FORGET.
Expect us.
I don't agree with Clambakes stance. Clambake is a good resource to educate those who visit the site but most Scio recruits are walk-ins for the personality test and so the best way to impact the 'Church' of Scio is to genuinely sabotage it. Sabotage the shit out of it, Beastie Boys style.
Gold. :lol

God, this is such bullcrap. The "freedom of speech card" gets pulled way to often around here. First he says it's a criminal organisation, and then he goes on to defend their freedom of speech. If it really is a criminal organisation, they should be shut down immediately, and that has nothing to do with freedom of speech.Hyoushi said:
And that's just the same for, lets say, the Phelps. There have got to be some laws they break with their ludicrous acts. At least where I live it would be dealth with pretty swiftly. They get sued, they're organisation/church gets banned for hate crimes/blackmailing/whatever.... and there. You never hear of them again.
Cuz they aren't on the internets and there's nothing anon can really do to affect them that much. I really doubt there's anon in pakistan or something, and even if there was, they wouldn't risk getting actually killedTamanon said:One has to wonder why they have such interest in Scientology but don't care about the actual radical sects of religion that murder every day.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference."
The interest of the average Anon is bound to wax and wane somewhat but the core groups, the CotDC's and their sovereigns will just stir them up again with well placed memes on /b/ and hype here and there, basically footsoldiers on demand to them really. The duration and seriousness of this 'war' is dependant upon those core groups interest and determination ultimately.
