Anonymous April 2008: The Story So Far

Hello we are anonymous, this is the story so far. February the tenth two thousand and eight saw the largest ever worldwide protest against the Church of Scientology, more specifically its criminal and unethical practices. There were well over seven thousand, six hundred protestors in around one hundred and eight locations worldwide. March the fifth teenth saw an even greater protest, with well in excess of nine thousand protestors taking to the streets around the world against the Church of Scientology. Now we march onwards in to April with our resolve undeterred by the counter actions of the church of scientology and there, O, S, A.

In February the scientologists were unprepared for what happened. They relied on dis credit ting anonymous as a small band of internet hackers and cyber terrorists before the tenth. And despite the put downs by the Church of Scientology even some protestors were pleasantly surprised with the turn out when the day of protest came. February the tenth two thousand and eight is a day many can now look back on and say, yes, I was there. I was there are the start of something historic. I was there when the worlds' first Internet consensus driven protest took place against what was called the Church of Scientology occurred.

In March the scientologists were better prepared. They tried to get an injunction against us to prevent us from going within 500 feet of their head quarters in Clearwater, Florida. But they failed. Twice. They erected large televisions and loud speakers to try and drown us out. But they did not dampen our spirits.

They had also paid a lot of private investigators to identify any anonymous they could before the 15th. They were successful but only in a small number of cases.

They found a one anonymous in the crowds which they had identified, so they held signs with his personal information on and stood next to him. Perhaps they expected a fight? But anonymous did not rise to the bait. There were heroes that day, the fallen anonymous who will rise up to join the ranks of:

Mark Bunker.

Tory Chrisman.

Andreas Heldal-Lund.

Arnie Lerma.

Kendra Wiseman.

Jenna Miscavige Hill.

Astra Woodcraft.

And all those other none anonymous who protest against the Church of Scientology; confident that as their numbers grow, so shall the numbers of us who are anonymous.

The spring time is the time of new beginnings. It is fitting therefore that operation reconnect will happen on April the twelfth. The day we officially start to encourage those families and friends who's relationships have been destroyed by scientology's disconnect policy to start a fresh by defying the church of scientology and reconnecting with one another.

We are anonymous

We never forgive

We never forget

Expect us.

What does it have to do with blue asbetos?I said the kill part because it said how many more must die?I was thinking are you protesting this science because they kill people who dont pay money?Its good if they die right,and get the blue?then you can chill or would you protest more relevant things?Like the fuken war?animal cruelty.americas forieng policies,for the last century.Indian injustice,alternative fuels,overpopulation,ccd,(the bees),racism,drug corruption,global warming,gmfoods,ect

"It's good if they die." In my opinion it isn't. As to "protesting more relevant things", raising awareness of this evil cults' mis-deeds does not preclude me from protesting other issues; I make my opinion known on many of the issues you list. The blue asbestos incident is an example of the church of scientology's complete lack of concern with respect to its members, it is the most aggressive self serving cult of today although I protest against others too.

What is the core belief and world view of anonymous...?

tell me about it...

[anonymous1312]

There is no core belief or world view of anonymous, we only share a practice of protesting (raising awareness about) the organisation calling itself the church of scientology.

Beyond the practice we are individuals, we disagree on things such as religion & politics. We even disagree as to what most makes the organisation worth protesting & how to go about it.

Each does it for our own reasons, in our own way & because of our own understanding of the issues.

We learn from each other & we do.

Your responses demonstate a disturbingly callous nature. You appear unconcerned by this cults' evil misdeeds; indeed you seem to welcome the resulting suffering. Your attitude seems to be "well so what there's so much other shit going so on why bother?". Do you actually try to make things better or do you just say sod it, there's too much shit going down I can't be bothered?

y dont they kill all those people?This look sliks a hollywood deal.what happens in hollywood should stay in hollywood,yall just need a good workout.its like turning off your computer and poof it all goes away.Tom cruise is a killa,yeah right

[anonymous1312]

Coincidence that quite a few high level OTs have died from cancers that could be related to exposure to blue asbestos? This stuff can kill 40+ years after exposure; it sits in your lungs like a ticking time bomb. There is no safe exposure limit. That is why blue asbestos was banned 1970. The contamination was reported to the leaders in 1987 and again in 2001. It was considered "not a problem" in 1987 & denied in 2001. Meanwhile everyone who went on Freewinds may have been exposed. Criminal!

[randomness80]

YES! This is exactly the kind of thing I wish I could be a part of! Out in the middle of nowhere is not a plesant place to be, and there arent even any churches to protest:(. I suppose that can be considered a good thing, but for me, I truly want in on the action.
