”Dear 'Church' of Scientology leadership, by now you have certainly become aware of us and our actions.
We have commenced our assault upon your institution and would like to take this moment to enlighten you.
We are Anonymous, you might know think of us as merely a hacker group, but we are much more. We are the
protectors of knowledge, we are the 'internet hate machine'. We stand for great justice, we stand for truth. We
embody the most fundamental principles of freedom: the right to ask questions, the right to knowledge and
the right to dissent. Your church caught our eye a long time ago, with your misinformation, your
brainwashing and inability to face your critics. We have waited long to act but have finally chosen the time,
not because this time is special but because it amused us the most.
The average scientologist: do not fear Anonymous. Do not hate us. We are on your side, we are on the side of
truth. We are not here to persecute you, we are here for your liberation. Over the years, it is unlikely you
could have missed the information about your church which has flooded the internet. The secrect documents,
the reports of wrong doing and the tales of abuse and brainwashing. Has the constant cover up of these acts
by your church ever made you sit and think – What if I am in the wrong? After hearing your church
leadership's censorship attempts and damage control, have you ever followed up yourself to find out the
truth behind the information? Behind all the allegations? Have you ever, in your religion which prides itself
on providing answers, ever asked a question about its validity? Whenever in history access to knowledge has
been removed, Anonymous has provided it. Had there never been dissent from the collective concience of
everybody and of nobody at the same time would still be thinking the sun orbited the earth. Why have you,
the average scientologist, never asked the obvious questions for the betterment of your whole community?
Why do you fear to find out the truth? Anonymous does not fear, we wish to aid you in your struggle for the
ultimate truth about your own institution, to expose it for its lies.
We do not wish for you to live in fear of your leaders. Fearing they'll run off with 200million of your money
in the way of LRH, fearing you'll face the fate of many of those who have tried to leave or tried to destroy
your institution from the inside. Why do you think you church has covered up and never talked to its
members about some cases which truly made its methods public? Cases like Lisa McPherson, Josephus A.
Havenith and the famour Jeremy Perkins? The right questions are not being asked – but now, with the help
of Anonymous is the time to ask those questions.
Anonymous respects the efforts of critics such as Jeff Jacobsen and scientology's other enemies, big and
small. However, recognize that this is the 21st century. Your methods are admirable and have achieved much
and you deserve all the praise anon can deliver, but our beliefs in how this must be handled differ.
Anonymous feels that sometimes, to get the attention of someone you must punch them in the face. Fools are
the media who think the first parts of our attack were more than attention grabbers. Our mission is to
eradicate scientology, for them to revoke their ways and to disband. Do you honestly think us so naive we
believe a mere flood of DDoS attacks would do anything more than stir the hornets nest? No. Our true
means of destroying the CoS are beyond that. Information is our weapon. We want to make sure that there is
no doubt in the mind of any of the followers of the CoS what their church hides from them, what their church
does and what their church really stands for.
CoS members, we bid you ask yourselves this question:
Has the Church of Scientology really provided you with answers, or merely skewed the question?
We are Anonymous
We are legion
We do not forgive
We do not forget”

digg it

see, i don't agree with messing with people's websites


but to make factual information highly public is only a good thing IMO, when it concerns a group of people that hurts others.


whether it's factual is another matter

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN the "church" uses whatever powers it has to quell ANY dissent or criticism of its activities. the "church" possesses far more power than your average citizen, so if this is the way average joe fights back, then so be it. im about as concerned for scientology's right to free speech as i am the white supremacist movement. those organisations that go out of their way to stifle the free expression of others deserve it not for themselves. they have brought this upon themselves, i say "stiff shit".

Then, instead of shutting sites down, it would be a lot better to keep exposing their wrong doing. They claim information is their weapon... well, use it then!

I lol'd again

Originally posted by Dj O'Callaghan 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! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjlo4u_8g60&feature=related

[[ LINK REMOVED ]]


thats the full documentary that Sweeney did, rly good watch. I cant even comprehend how they justify going after him/the ppl he interviewed like they did. They are obviously scared of information getting out about what goes on in there "churches"

Its 100% a cult not a religion (do u think i will be followed for saying that ) ...

anyway rly good watch, probably deserves its own thread but i will leave it in here for now
