War on Scientology

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/%22Anon..._Scientology%22

quote:

The Internet-based group "Anonymous" has released statements on YouTube and via a press release, outlining what they call a "War on Scientology". Church of Scientology related websites, such as religousfreedomwatch.org have been removed due to a suspected distributed denial-of-service-attack (DDoS) by a group calling themselves "Anonymous". On Friday, the same group allegedly brought down Scientology's main website, scientology.org, which was available sporadically throughout the weekend.

Several websites relating to the Church of Scientology have been slowed down, brought to a complete halt or seemingly removed from the Internet completely in an attack which seems to be continuous. The scientology.org site was back online briefly on Monday, and is currently loading slowly.

On Monday, the group released a video titled: "Message to Scientology" on YouTube concerning their intentions to attack the Church of Scientology. A robotic voice on the video begins with "Hello leaders of Scientology. We are Anonymous," and continues by explaining their motivations: "Over the years we have been watching you, your campaigns of misinformation, your suppression of dissent and 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 have come to trust you as leaders has been made clear to us. Anonymous has therefore decided that your organisation should be destroyed." The message goes on to state that the group intends to "expel Scientology from the Internet". As of Wednesday, the video had been viewed 370,347 times, favorited 2,473




Interesting little grassroots war here - what do you all think of this? Great? Kind of scary (re: suppression of ideologies/freedom of religion)? At least they picked Scientology, right?

Yeah, I mean it was linked on digg - so take it with a grain of salt, however, this could prove to be somewhat entertaining at the very least.

There was a Church of Scientology in front of my job in Miami. I never saw anyone go in there.

This isn't going to be over for a while cuz I know those crazy Scientology fuks will find out who "Anonymous" is and probably sue them.

I just hope the people waging this war realize that once you've donated enough to the "church," you are empowered and know who makes up "Anonymous". These people can't hide, I'm afraid.

+1

I don't know that I want the internet in charge of things. That just seems a like whole can of worms I'd rather keep in the root cellar until the apocalypse.

Panorama did a documentary on Scientology. For whole duration of the programme the Scientologists followed John Sweeney and the BBC crew around filming them.

This a clip of old Sweeney kicking off at them top stuff!

So your opinion is freedom of religion/freedom of speech should only apply to certain folks beliefs and not others?



I'm certainly no fan of Scientology, but people are more than welcome to make their own mistakes as far as I'm concerned.

I don't think I like the idea of a group of pissed off/bored internet kids deciding what is or is not socially acceptable.

Fucks sake, think about what kind of world that would be.
