[michaelrobert1974]

Did you even bother to actually view the entire LRH Life Exhibition? It's an amazing experience and could inspire you to do more with your life than harrass a religious group!

time to put an end to the scum

[Jeri142]

April 12, 2008 Operation Reconnect

Call your Senators & Congressman and ask them to take away Scientology statues as a church...Make them pay taxes, like very other business.

[BriannaKye]

Casino, and which message would that be? The message that led directly to the slaughter of hundreds of thousands during the Burning Times and Salem Witch Trials? Crusades? Spanish Inquisition? The taking over and forcible conversion of American Indians from their beliefs to Christianity (at gun and sword point)? Or do you just mean the selective message you choose to see while ignoring the plank in your own religion's "eye", at it were?

[Grandus11]

Ok so Scientology is a cult, freaky, scary, have the strangest beliefs, think Jesus Christ was a child molester, think all other religions are whacko. How do christians feel about Buddah or Mohammad. I am not taking up for the COS far from it but, perhaps Anonymous should strive to stop folks from converting if they care about this so much.

[MarkMacDonald]

"Learn as much as you possibly can.

Have your voice heard.

Anonymous is Legion.

We do not forgive.

Nor doberget."

[hunter2458]

Lame, you guys came so late you missed out on the actual protests.

[Ctarble]

Good show, man.

[caliberkiller44]

great shit guys. you should come out to michigan, i would love to see ya guys come out! keep it up and hope to see something for the 3/15 protests

[cpussman]

EPIC RICK ROLL!!

[hollywoodpodcast]

None of these idiots say why they are protesting, what they are upset about.

[newphoenix84]

Is the song at 4:40 the theme song of Anon? Cuz thats just plain ol good times!

[DeadFiled]

Your target is the RTC (Scientology management), not the membership. Winning the membership over is key to our goul. It will take time, but will happen, many are NOT happy with RTC with the endless NEW programs that they have to do and still have no product to show for it. Many are done with all the shit and are ready to leave, we have to ready to welcome them, keep that in mind when you meet one.

[SovietVV]

nine inch nails remix at the beginning, woot woot!

[tomatmann2]

THIS IS CAKE TOWN!!!

[dedalb]

Uhm, next time you might want to show up to the actual protest site. It started at the Scientology HQ building on Sunset and L. Ron Hubbard Way at 11am. There were over 400 people there, and lots of media. The group then moved to two other locations. What you filmed was basically the after-party, when the protest was over. However, you will have another opportunity on March 15th, 11am, at the same location on Sunset. There will be cake.

[Anon0032008]

great video

[DeadFiled]

BTW nice video

[tdragonxp]

hahaha at 5:29 i think i know what you were thinking geekza

[PantsAreWarm]

nice coverage on the protest

you could make a living off of this kind of journalism keep on doing it

[togio100]

I love how the kid in the passenger's seat at 2:41 is cheering but the guy diriving is looking really uncomfortable.

Great video.

[bigfaggykitty]

epic!

[Bloodletter]

how do i shot web?

[biggriff58]

rick roll/d yes!

[trademark310]

Cool stuff, but the guy at 2:15 is just using this as an excuse to bomb...

[DoctorIncredible]

lip ring chick is win.

[cccmarkgreene]

Help on the next protest....save lives....March 15...Use scientology's own locater to find your local office...crash their web site as well

[BriannaKye]

Or grow up and grasp the simple concept that the 1st Amendment gives people in this country the right to worship as they choose, no matter how many little spoiled rotten brats don't agree with the choice.

Put up or shut up. Either protest ALL organized religions in the same way because they are ALL GUILTY of the same irrational behaviors or stop trying to convince the world there is anything more to this than "I don't agree with it so I want it to go away".

[naughtydreadz]

uh i think u misunderstood the point... scientology ISNT a religion.... they don't preach anything... you have to PAY to find out their doctrine..

[BriannaKye]

Naughty, I didn't misunderstand anything. Christians PAY (via tithing) as well as the poor box and sometimes two collection plates PER MASS. It is as much a RELIGION as Christianity or any other organized doctrine based "truth" that tells you "no, it doesn't make sense, but have FAITH that it is so". In the beginning decades upon decades of Christianty, Naughty, one was FORCED to tithe. Same deal now with Scientology. Sorry, but there is no difference.

[lordgaladedrid]

Hello - aliens and h-bombs. Its a fucking joke. If you have faith in an alien putting bodies in volcanoes your an idiot.

[BriannaKye]

Lord, dear, you seem to have jumped to conclusions. I don't put faith in it I simply don't think it's any LESS of a joke than believing a fucking virgin gave birth to a godling. Comprende?

[zezon666]

Lol the donations are purely volountery, well specially in the uk, scientologys fees arent. Research before you go on. Mainstream religions split into different sectors some are no better thn scientology though majority do not have smear campagins etc against the people who criticise.

[naughtydreadz]

in order to advance in scientology you must pay or or work for the church in exchange... there's no advancement in Scientology without the exchange of goods or services... as far as beliefs... be it virgin, some guy coming from the mountains with a set of rule that god wrote on tablets and parting seas or virgins popping out saviours all sound preposterous to me, even an omnipotent presence... however, Buddhism, christianity, muslims, jews all GIVE access to their writings for free.

[BriannaKye]

And I am trying to explain to you that the infancy of the Catholic Church was the same way, as was Islam and many other religions. You once were FORCED to tithe -- aka pay money to the church in order to be a member -- and I think any but the most blind will agree that Christianity has a VERY bloody past. So again, Scientology is NO DIFFERENT than any other organized religion in it's infancy. Keep deluding yourself as to how much better YOUR mysticism is than any other if you choose.

[prometheanterror]

Yeah, and we just emerged out of the dark ages where we aren't forced to pay tithe.

Let's keep it that way, mkay motherfucker?

[BriannaKye]

The infancy of any organized religion is the same, whether they started 1000 years ago or 10. Your church, assuming you are Catholic or any other denomination of Christian, had the same rocky beginnings as this one. After it has "grown up", the "tithing" in Scientology will go away as well. It's very easy for you to sit up on your judgemental little cloud and say "well, MY faith got over it and moved on so NO faith should EVER be allowed the same mistakes and rocky beginnings as mine".

[omgwtfwhoami]

Supposed to learn from the past, not repeat it or use it to condone bad behavior.

[BriannaKye]

What, there were no religions before Christianity?  They didn't "learn from the past" and yet you don't seem too concerned about that. Nope, anything to slam any religion not your own and pretend yours is perfect, ignoring that yours started the same way, with the same downfalls, the same problems, as the one you hypocritically want to put down.

[thehikarikage]

Besidestithing is not required to be in church it people who actually give from the bottom of thier heart. Think of it as donations

[BriannaKye]

Zezon, dear, they were not ALWAYS voluntary in the beginnings the Church. YOU are the one who needs to do research. The Catholic Church has, in it's history, been more manipulative, greedy and disgustingly immoral than Scientology has ever shown itself to be. Again I say protest ALL organized religions or accept your own hypocrisy.

[GuitarGirlWA]

I think u rly do miss the point of all of this and u r a very ignorant person. I personally do not agree with religion. There is a diff between a religion & a cult. Scientology by all definitions is a cult. Other religions r not. SCIENTOLOGY IS NOT A RELIGION. Get off your high horse. Give these kids space to stand up for something they believe in. Just because they protest 1 thing, does not mean that if they ignore all other wrong in the world that they r brats, at least they r doing something!

[lolinternetslol]

They're protesting the fact that they force people to give them money *right now* (amongst other things, like you know, murdering people and what not) if they stopped all that like all the other religions nobody would give a shit.

[omgwtfwhoami]

Here you are accusing other religions of crimes. What are YOUR crimes, huh? What are YOU hiding? What are your crimes?

[BriannaKye]

Well I sure didn't slaughter hundreds of thousands of innocent men and women during the Inquisition, the Crusades, the Burning Times, the Salem Witch Trials. I am not accusing religion of anything, dear, those are FACTS. Look them up. And the only reason I even brought them up to begin with is because the children here seem to think that Scientology is somehow unique in it's rocky, wobbly infancy as a religion.

[omgwtfwhoami]

You're attacking other religions. What are the crimes of YOUR religion, huh? What are you hiding?

[DeadFiled]

RTC, Please repound with a littel more detail here. I'm not to sure what you talking about with "other religions of crimes" and maybe you can ansewer why RTC has pulled this entheta in on the church. If you realy know your tech, there is only one answer WHAT CRIMES HAS RTC COMMITTED?

[Sirand]

Can the "what are your crimes" crap. We know they teach you to say these things in your cult. How much money are they gonna make you pay to advance to the next OT, huh?

Think for yourself before you swallow the words of a sci-fi writer.

[BriannaKye]

Sirand, how much money did the RCC, in it's infancy, demand from the populace in order to stay in favor? How many people lost their land to the greed nature of the RCC. How many lost their lives? Christianity is every bit as much of the "occult" as any other religion. Look the word up and learn something rather than putting your hands over your ears and eyes and parroting your leadership in attacking others for parroting their leadership.

[casino16]

christianity budhism hinduism and other pretty much have the same message, scientology is just stupid though, like go read what its about

[BriannaKye]

Casino, you aren't listening. Christianity is as ridiculous to outsiders as Scientology is to Christians. What, you think that a virgin giving birth to a godling, who later rises from the dead, is ever so much more logical and sensible?

[casino16]

im talking about the message all those religions give, not what they are about, like the scientology message is just..... ( fill in the blank)

[BriannaKye]

OMG, sweetpea, you seem to be laboring under the false impression that I am a Scientologist, which proves you are spouting off without doing an ounce of background work for yourself -- I have already said that I am not. And you also seem to be ignorant of the difference between stating unpleasant facts and "attacking", as most children are.

[RVProductions]

Anonymous is not a crime gang.

[JesTgOtMaDe]

u people are the gay little goth kids at ur skool aren't you...???

[TheMetalWarrior]

And you are the person who will never leave it and hold on to memories past, because you are too afraid of anything new.

Kill yourself for being a idiot.

[JesTgOtMaDe]

u mean kill YOURSELF....LOSER!

[TheMetalWarrior]

Also, The English language called, She told me to tell you to "stop raping me"

[JesTgOtMaDe]

GAY...

[Deathranger610]

scientology got rickrolled!

[BriannaKye]

And how many of those spoiled rotten brats believe a virgin gave birth to a baby, walked on water, and rose from the dead?  How anybody thinks Scientology is any more ridiculous that any other religion, INCLUDING Christianity, is just completely beyond any rational human being.

What is frightening is that we are apparently raising an entire generation of brats who think that if THEY don't believe in something or like it, well, then it just plain shouldn't exist. What a waste of space.

[GuitarGirlWA]

I think that you should research before you comment. They aren't protesting against what Scientology believes, and in fact anonymous have made many statments to the contrary. They are protesting against the policies that Scientolgy have such as disconnection (research it), fair game (research it), and the fact that to gain enlightenment you must pay hundreds of thousands of dollars (research it).

I think these kids are doing more than their elders who have done nothing but turn a blind eye.

[BriannaKye]

You have got to be joking -- are you THAT brainwashed that you don't see that EVERY organized religion does the exact same crap? What, you think all of that "tithing" in the Catholic Church REALLY ends up in the hands of the homeless and destitute? Every organized religion out there, my sweet child, uses top-down controls in one way or another.

[lolinternetslol]

Theres a difference between voluntary donation and being forced to give your time, money, and possibly your life if you want to join the religion or get out of it.

[Acharmye]

@GuitarGirlWA How Charles Manson uses $cientology cult's methods. The cult's abuse, harassment, threatening, implications of kidnapping, slanders, lawsuits, and even how a Scilon posed as a friend to a lady named Cooper after slandering her with bombthreats & asked her to get up on a ledge of a building with him during a time when one would expect Cooper to commit suicide(she was sentenced to jail for the slanders).

[TheMetalWarrior]

You don't get it. You really, really, don't fucking get it.

[Skintologist]

I don't think that this is what this is all about.

I wonder exactly how many of these guys actually do believe in any religeous text to the letter, probably, like most of humanity, a very very small percentage of fringe individuals.

Perhaps the scifags should release all their "secret data" (for free) and then say "but its just a metaphor", like most other religions.

[fcrabbath]

awesome. Just awesome.

[emfayder]

Hey guys! Great to see you walking and talking, as opposed to, you know, just talking, um...yeah. Fig nice choice of music Fig, Cloe nice to see you, and Brian...nice hat. (shrugs)

[jalil124]

fshhhhh!!!

[EveryoneAnonymous]

400 people!!!!! WELL DONE!!!

[AnonymousTelevision]

You guys missed the 400 people from about 11:00AM-3:00PM, but it's good to see that people stuck around after the crowd started breaking up.

Check out my video response for a better idea of the day.

[An0nym0usMaN]

NIN!

[Relyt22]

As soon as we got to the CNN building I was just beat, sitting down on the ground. Then some curious passersby came along and asked what this was all about and I began explaining the whole story as to why we're protesting, and someone else joined in... and it just felt really good to be informing the public. There were several other curious peoples along the way as well.

[kingofthekrill]

Don't make Will Smith say: "Why you messin' wit my religion kid!"

[miwabba]

Best edited video so far! Awesome job, wish I had been there.

[geekza]

Yep, we were late. :-D

It wasn't our intention to commit the whole protest to video, and we wouldn't have had time to if it was. This video is non-partisan and not at all comprehensive, just the account of three normal folks who wanted to see what Anonymous was all about.

So, yeah, we only caught the rockin' tail-end of the thing. But rockin' it was. :-D

[vorhees69]

kinda late peeps

protest started at 11am

[Fl1ps]

That kid in the Rush shirt was fucking sexy...

[hunter2458]

You guys are so Late, the CNN building was more of a mob mentality after everyone said that the main guys were leavin around 3:00

[fatalrob0t]

excellent! The same happened in Austin. The Austin protest was featured on KXAN for a grand total of 20 seconds and not a blip more. I searched everywhere for any information because I couldn't join. I wish I could have, but I'm no longer living in my happy hometown. T__T

[theboyks]

This was really well done. Thanks for the upload

[TheMetalWarrior]

Thanks for editing my shitty talking *green mask*

Awesome Vid.

[Paragraf129a]

[VaportrailFilms]

That's a really impressive clip, actually. Nice editing, I like the style.

[1808productions]

CLOE Z!!!!! The Miss Z fanclub iz here!!!! Fuck Scientology! Fuck Anonymous! I Demand more Cloe Z!!!!

[LadyAerowyn]

OMG they rickrolled. That is amazing.

[Anonymouschick2]

cute!

[anonau]

Excellent, but you would do well to better protect your Anonymity.

[DudeParallel]

FFFFSSSSSSSSSSSSH

[HillDueceua]

CNN's main center of operations is Atlanta Georgia. They would probably get a story if they were there.

[mrchokendie]

Nice coverage.

[satanhatesyu]

Win!
