Anonymous

Project Chanology: Anonymous' war on Scientology.
Anonymous is a movement that began with the picture and opinion forum website 4chan (this is an encyclopedia link, if you are interested in going to the actual website there is an external link to it at the bottom of the article).





Possibly fueled by the hilaristurbing Tom Cruise Scientology indoctrination video. Possibly not. Who knows.

Anyway, FOX did an "expose" on Anonymous.


Anonymous launched a video announcing the war on Scientology.

Operation Clambake author criticized the supposed DDoS attacks that Anonymous was launching (though he also pointed out that there is no proof of any such attacks). And Anonymous listened, and a massive peaceful global picketing of Scientology centres worldwide was accomplished in February. Then, in honour of the Ides of March, L.R.Hubbard's birthday, they did it again.
Disclaimer: Chickens! does not associate itself with the group Anonymous or any of its works. I don't think I am bored or angry enough. Therefore I feel justified in violating rules #1 and #2 (see Fight Club if you don't know what they are). Frankly, some of the things spouted by anonymous individuals are just awful (from racism to homophobia, it's disgusting and upsetting).















However, I do consider the movement to be cool in a scary way and probably inevitable. Also, I approve of the good they are trying to do, if not the boredom fueled anarchy (real or imagined by FOX). Also, I applaud their use of peaceful tactics in their protests against Scientology. Violence (real and virtual) will only trivialize what you are trying to do. You have to use the power of the Anonymous mob for good, not evil. Just remember what we've learned from Spiderman.



p.s. I forgot to give a shout out to Updog&Indy's post on Scientology. And Madman's post.
