June Press Release

http://digg.com/world_news/Anonymous_Press_Release_June

To the Leaders of Scientology and the General Public:
We are Anonymous.
We support the right of all people to worship freely, to read and write freely, to think, speak and assemble freely.
We do not support the right of a corrupt and self-serving corporation to hide abuse, exploitation and bigotry behind the cloak of religion.
We have stood up, in February and March and in April and May, to protest the crimes and abuses of the Church of Scientology and the Religious Technology Center.
These protests were entirely peaceful, with the intent of carrying our message to the public in a non-violent and entertaining matter.
However, the leaders of the Church of Scientology, seeing a threat to their control of the Church's followers have retaliated, not with reasoned arguments like civilized people, but with their tactics of old, the tactics of back-alley thugs: stalking, harassment, and defamation.
The Church used to call these tactics Fair Game, but the name was revoked due to "public relations" concerns. It is unknown what this Policy is called now, but the Church teaches that L. Ron Hubbard's teachings are perfect, that the Church is perfect, and anyone attacking the Church or the "Tech" is a criminal, and must be eliminated by any means necessary, including the falsification of evidence, intimidation, and murder. This is no way for a modern religion to behave in a climate of religious tolerance. Any true faith group, respectful of other beliefs and mindful of its place in the marketplace of ideas, would not act this way. The Church leadership's blatant attempts to suppress ideas that it disagrees with shows its insecurity, paranoia and intolerance.
In retaliation for peacefully and lawfully using their human rights of freedom of speech, thought, and expression, the Church of Scientology has attacked these individuals. Many have been defamed, called terrorists and bigots, several have been arrested on faked evidence. One's cat was poisoned, simply to send him a lesson. He was later arrested on falsified charges of 'Criminal Threats.' At a peaceful protest in Los Angeles, an Anonymous was followed by men with signs bearing his picture, full name, and home address. A third has been harassed mercilessly, including multiple phone calls to his 82-year old grandmother. These tactics have been favored by the Church since the days of Paulette Cooper, an investigative reporter who was defamed, harassed, sued, and framed for terrorism charges, as part of what the Church called "Operation Freak-out." Since then, dozens of people have been subject to the Church's vengeance, for merely speaking out and exercising their human rights.
Thus, in the month of June we will stand in support of all of those, past and present, who have faced harm physical, mental, and financial as a result of standing for what they believe in. We stand for Paulette Cooper, Shaun Lonsdale, and the Anonymous unmasked by the malignant actions of the Church of Scientology's corrupt and despotic leadership.
We are Anonymous.
We are SP's.
We are legion.
We do not forgive your crimes.
We do not forget your victims.

Good job, Anon. You're doing what the rest of us are too scared to.

[DeimosSaturn]

anonymous is losing? Yeah, that's why courts in Edinboro have sided with Epic Nose Guy, why all the major main stream media outlets are siding with anonymous, why stats in all churches are going down dramatically, why church attendance has dropped, why recruitment has dropped to 1%, why the Freewinds is out of commission, why Mike Rinder blew, Why Jenna Miscavige got a full interview on 60 minutes, and why Wise Beard Man has returned to youtube. Your ads only serve to drain Scientology of money.

[JCDomo24]

Anonymous are you against the illuminati?

[xanatose]

One suggestion. Either lower the music volume or increase the speech volume,.

Is difficult to listen to the message in some parts, because of the loudness of the music.
