In Response to Anonymous: Hate Crimes

Well, in response to the OSA's massive footbullet, where they showed that they had made the original, I made this. I needed to further my skills with voice editing / cleaning and I wanted to muck around with effects in Vegas.

complete (and accurate) script is below.
In the past week, a youtube user called "AnonymousFacts" posted the official $cientology 'report' on Anonymous.
The Scientologist account has published one video thus far.
The name of this mistake: Anonymous: Hate Crimes.

The video contained claims of bomb threats, arsen threats, and illegal operations.
Harassing phone calls and emails were precision-counted to the ones place.
Anonymous was accused of ten acts of vandalism.
Curiously, these acts of vandalism never did make the news.

In the video, four clips from Anonymous' various messages are shown, including one confirmed to have been black propaganda.
In this fourth clip, a nation-wide bomb threat aaginst CoS buildings is issued.
To quote the video: "This will be the largest terrorist attack on a religion in history."
However, there are two obvious problems with this statement:
Anonymous does not consider itself a terrorist group, the second, is that Scientology is not a religion.

That was not the only problem with the message in question, let's take a look at its history.

The video surfaced near the beginning of March, give or take a week.
Anonymous members stumbled upon it and promptly reported it to youtube and federal authorities.
Within hours of being posted, the offending video was taken down by authorities, but not before several Anonymous saved it to their hard drives.
In the video, the speaker claims to be "an elite Anonymous".
However, Anonymous is a loose collective of kindred spirits, we do not have "elite","leaders", or a power structure, as traditional groups do.

Jump ahead to March 14th, copies of a DVD entitled "Anonymous: Hate Crimes" begin to circulate among the public.
This was the largest mistake to date the Church of Scientology has made in regards to Anonymous.
They have metaphorically shot themselves in the foot with a double barelled, twelve-guage shotgun.

This DVD contained the same propaganda video seen on Youtube beforehand.
The DVD version is at 480p resolution, and conforms to NTSC framerate, which is approximately thirty frames per second.
Curiously enough, the clip from the aforementioned black propaganda was present in beautiful DVD quality.
---------------BEGIN STILL COMPARISON--------
Here is a still comparison of the two at the same frame in playback.
Though you cannot see it here, the framerate of the original was a bit jittery and it lagged periodically.
It was very obvious.
The DVD version was nice and smooth.
The colors were richer, and there were no obvious signs of it ever being compressed. For upload to youtube, or any other streaming service.
This new DVD version was at a different pixel count and aspect ratio than the original youtube video.
Though it is hard to see in a still comparison,
the ugly horizontal lacing of the original is replaced with a new, crisp horizontal line effect, and the smoke effects are curiously absent.
-------------END STILL COMPARISON-----------

Are things starting to fall together yet?
In order for them to have a high quality version of the video posted to youtube, they would have to have made it in the first place!
No amount of digital enhancement would produce results good enough to produce the tremendous quality difference witnessed here.

If you find this all hard to believe, go to wikipedia and search for Operation PC Freakout.
They have staged bomb threats against themselves before, so why not now?

Educate yourselves,
These are the facts.

99% of the times that someone uses the words "terrorism" or "terrorists", they are lying.

Most of the remaining 1% is composed by the people pointing out the lies.

Anonymous is a completely incoherent internet machine. It is both good and evil. It's motives are completely unofficial, even the destruction of scientology. It's members come from all walks of life and don't all share the same opinions. Furthermore, anyone on the internet who posts something that can be witnessed by the public, such as this youtube comment, is therefore a member in some form or another.

We are anonymous.

We do not forgive.

We do not forget.

We are legion.

Expect us.

@ThisDylan4 if i may voice my opinion. anonymous claims to want to hold on to free speech and all that good stuff if im not mistaking.noble cause but hacking companies and other sources that want to violate free speech is not the way to save it. look at SOPA for example. if that law passes free speech on the internet is basically done for but we have the power to stop it. not by hacking companies that support it, but by calling our senators and having our voices heard the right way.

Scientologist are now seriously scaring me...

@ianster0102 May I point out over 9000 people make up anonymous at any one given time. Tarring Anonymous due to the actions of probably 5 people who never told the rest of the community. Is quite frankly proof of how little you know about us. Quite frankly you look like a retard!.... If you care about freedom! The internet and your privacy then you will educate yourself about our cause and join us!

@ianster0102 Anonymous are not people. They are an idea. If sony makes a substandard product, it will be exploited. Exerting the dominance of the unknown man through ideals is something that may well be important one day. But in order to keep it that way, you must understand not one single institution is beyond reach, or exempt from their touch.

Anonymous is the essense of an unrestrained humanity in digital form.

@ianster0102 Sony was an afterthought. Bigger fish, man, bigger fish.

@ilovemymum777 It's the 1812 Overture, and wasn't originally from V For Vendetta.

@Magicwwe You are clearly an idiot, for one it is your fight too, but perhaps you don't want any rights? All you care about is 'wrestlin' and whatever else you uneducated fools enjoy, anonymous has disclaimed any responsibility of hacking your previous psn. Besides Sony had it coming, they're system and your personal information should have been more secure. Anonymous wants to hold onto our right for free speech on the internet, not interrupt your stupid little games. So before you have an opi
