Anon vs. SoC: Spread the Word

As you might have figured out by now, getting this know all over the world is one of the cornerstones of the war. This is however not a war in that sense. This is a war using the media, Internet and viral marketing. Posters, articles, bloggs, videos, graffiti and many other things are used to get attention, to wake people up. Freedom of speech works both ways, and the Church of Scientology will claim that we are breaking CR. I, for one, does not believe in Copy Right, and advocates the Creative Commons License, but I'll let you know more about this in another post. What I wanted to spread with this post was some of the posters being used, all of whom are made with no intention of personal gain, and all of whom will be payed with Anons own money.

Anonymous vs. Scientology V

As you read more and more about this event you will no doubt hear things about Anonymous that are both good and bad. First of, those involved in this is not only members of Anonymous, others have heard about it on the news, read it in papers or found it online, and decided that they agree with us. That they, as us, want to know exactly what the Church stands for, what their goals are, why they don't spread their message as other religions do. The list of questions could go on and on. What I myself wonder is: why does salvation come at such a high prize? Why do they force people to have abortions so they can continue working for the CoS? Why does the members have to install programs on their computers that block anything that could question their beliefs? The answers are obvious, they don't care about their members, or their salvation. The question is: what are their goals then? I have heard that they are trying to secure posts in the American government, so perhaps they will try and have Cruise run for President eventually? I can not say that I know much for sure about them, mainly because they guard their teachings with a fanatical zeal. What I do know is that I think people should have the right think for themselves, decide what is right and wrong, what they want to do with their life's. But, as I was saying Anonymous is not some sort of ethic deity laying down the law for all to see. Anonymous is everyone and no one. And just as any person has the choice between good and bad, so does Anonymous. There are two sides of a sword, and Anon are both. We are like you, and we are you. After all, society has not left that much place for development of the individual so that we are all vastly different. We are society in itself, and in this society all kinds of people co-exist. All are no good, all are not bad. Some are sane, some are mad. What Anonymous will never be is inhuman, something might look that way, but even they greatest human has the ability perform acts of incomprehensible cruelty. It as they saying goes: Because non of us are as cruel all of us.

Anonymous vs. Scientology IV

Things are heating up, the Church of Scientology has started responding. A Swedish representative claimed that Anonymous was affiliated with gun runners and drug dealers. The more intelligent response came from XenuTV who encouraged people not to do anything illegal. The problem here, as I see it, is that since the CoS is the ones who started brainwashing, love bombing, and in general using people who's only fault was that they felt lonely, insecure or that they lacked a purpose. Targeting campuses and schools to make kids and youth work for them is also a good source of cheap labor, as we have seen in certain third world countries from time to time. The CoS also claims that the information provided by Anon is faulty. The question here is why they didn't seem to care much about several of the sites Anon has promoted recently, before this got the medias attention? Sure, they no doubt tried to sue the creators, threaten their hosts and so forth, but they didn't go out with a public statement saying "This and this is wrong." before a larger interest was created by Anonymous. Another representative said that she: "don't give a damn what a bunch of pathetic computer geeks does." or something along those lines, the word "bunch" might not be correct. In response for the Internet, I'd like to say that: "We don't care what the brainwashed puppets of a cult thinks". I'd also like to clear up a few misunderstandings about Anonymous. They are not hackers, though some might very well be... They are a mix of people from all over the world, mostly youth, who does not take kindly to the CoS attempts to censor the Internet and media. A larg part of the next generation, and of course people from others as well, have decided that they're tired of secrecy, the greed, lies and all form of fucked up behavior being showed by the Church of Scientology. Anonymous is the general public, the common and uncommon people, the outcasts, the bored, the scenesters and emos. Anonymous is me. Anonymous is you. And they've just made us angry.
