It's a simple strat. Shit on Scientology's website for a bit, pass out flyers, release "secret" documents that are more than a little embarrassing, etc.
Lawyers can only protect an organization that pushes people around for so long. Anon is here to remedy that, along with human right's violations and the fact that it's a scam. Had they not been so forceful in their methods to control, they'd be fine. Now? They've put themselves in a situation where they are dealing with an adversary that's vastly more capable. Scientology cannot fight against aggressive guerrilla tactics. If you're interested in helping, google the story. Everything you need is there. |

Been fun to track so far. Encyclopediadramatica.com's Project Chanology page (specifically the talk page) is a pretty up-to-date info source.
In case anyone has missed it, here's a message from ANON to CoS:

willravel, what do you mean 'If you're interested in helping, google the story. Everything you need is there.'?

what kind of BS is this? I've not seen any of this stuff, although I am aware of their "war" on scientology. How come that's not mentioned in this article?

This story is just bullshit. The original video came out like 6 months ago, the forum they are showing is fucking 4chan for fucks sake.
Seems like sensationalist bullshit. When "anonymous" does some real damage then maybe I'd be interested but chances are it's some bored 17 year old with a computer fetish and his myspace friends stirring up the shit. Getting videos and documents available to actual members only isn't impressive to me, it's on par with me getting pictures and movies available only to porn site subscribers.

Who knows, maybe they are. The only thing I know is that there isn't a firewall powerful enough to stop my ex-neighbor... he scares me. He now lives in the boonies and works on cars for a living. Once upon a time he had a garage filled with computer parts, and a tool shed with running computers. You should see what he has done to his cell phone. I am glad he doesn't get angry.

One of my friends says he is part of it too... Doesn't phase me. If these people are such great hackers (which my friend is not, he is just knowledgeable with computers) then they could have as many identities, other persons' identities, or invent new identities whenever it was suitable.
This is one of those Ultimate Conspiracy moments. By the way, out of everyone on TFP there isn't a single Scientologist with words to say????

The fox news was just a sensationalist piece. Especially the van bomb thing. lol
4chan and the rest of the *chans have never been hacker groups, although hackers may be among the ranks. "Anon" is a convenient way to describe a member, like "Goon" for the SomethingAwful forums. 4chan in particular, while before was quite a large imageboard, has multiplied at least 10x in size over the course of just a few months. This is significant because the old community there has been diluted and then washed away because of the massive influx. The subculture of the site pressured members to create original content by ridiculing those who repeated tired internet memes created by the site itself. (commonly by simply stating "lurk moar", implying you're new to the site, and everyone's tired of the content you reposted) Starting about 6 or 8 months ago, the community lost control over new members. There wasn't enough of a presence to tell newbies to shut up and sit down- people who had come because they enjoyed the memes propagated from the site. All these members were in a consume mindset, rather than a create mindset, and what was 4chan was washed away in posts oft repeated and old jokes, LOLCATS, camwhores, and other memes overused and discarded long ago. Cut to today. A group ten or twenty times the size of the original *chans which created a large amount of humour content on the internet today is basically starving for something new and funny. Old memes while still used constantly are getting boring. Old raids while worn out (Hal Turner) are yet ongoing over a year later. "Anon" is going to latch on to this because they don't have much else. The movement is bolstered by it being generally approved by the internet community at large and scientology being so ridiculous. It's not something that Anon is just going to give up, and it's likely to gain steam as time goes on. There is a worldwide protest on February 10th and many people are already on board. There are 15 members planning on going out for my city alone, with over a week still to go. I think there is potential for something very interesting to happen with this.

It's about to start in Japan.
http://sydney.indymedia.org.au/story...-turns-violent The Sydney protest has apparently attracted problems. Scientologists came and attacked Anon protesters legally protesting and the police arrested a few Anon members. BTW, here you can find all protests. Last edited by Willravel; 02-09-2008 at 05:56 PM..

You're right, I just got word. Sydney is going strong.
Edit: updated story: http://sydney.indymedia.org.au/story...ch-scientology So far there are no incidents. Last edited by Willravel; 02-09-2008 at 09:15 PM.. |

Any other stories of other cities? I wonder if there's anything going on in Chicago. Nothing on the net about it yet.
