The Passion of ‘Anonymous’
A shadowy, loose-knit consortium of activists and hackers called 'Anonymous' is just the latest thorn in Scientology's side.

These are unfriendly times to be a Scientologist. In December, Germany's Interior Ministry moved to ban the organization, which has tax-exempt religious status in the United States. In January, St. Martin's Press published Andrew Morton's salacious unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise, which describes the star as its de facto second in command. The church responded with a 15-page statement, calling the book "a bigoted, defamatory assault replete with lies" and saying Cruise "is a Scientology parishioner and holds no official or unofficial position in the Church hierarchy." Jenna Hill Miscavige, a niece of church leader David Miscavige who left the fold in 2005, this week came out in support of Morton and slammed the organization for, among other things, its practice of "disconnection--essentially severing contact with family members seen as hostile to the group.

Now, a loose-knit consortium of hackers and activists calling itself "Anonymous" has declared "war" on the organization. In a creepy YouTube clip addressed to the "leaders of Scientology," a robotic voice announces "with the leakage of your latest propaganda video into mainstream circulation, the extent of your malign influence over those who trust you as leaders has been made clear to us. Anonymous has therefore decided that your organization should be destroyed." (The clip has been viewed more than 2 million times since it was posted Jan. 21.)

Whats with the dental mask things?

I'm not sure, but my guess is that those are the only masks that are legal and they're trying to stay anonymous?

It doesn't seem like they're planing a raid here, but i might go see if something happends at Rio.

[archibaldcrane]

It just turned to beautiful weather here in L.A. today - hopefully it'll stay tomorrow, being as how the main HQ (at L. Ron Hubbard Way) and the biggest celebrity center are here.

[Senoska]

surgical masks and dust/carpenters masks are what are recommended, don't use gas masks (i wonder why?) I'd love to protest but alas scientologists aren't allowed to set up shop here in alabama. I'd recommend if anyone here is going to contact a local police of sheriff's department and ask if they will come and assist with keeping the protest peaceful and let them know that the scientologist may become violent towards protesters.

Is the "Arm yourself with knowlege" an intentionally mispelled meme, or is that sign just that damn ironically ignorant?

[Vail]

yeah I'm going to the portland one

d('-'*) gonna be along drive from where I live though but worth the time

[Kaeko]

I'll be at the Austin raid filming.

Also the masks are for the protection of the individual protesters. When the cult is typically confronted with protests, they send private investigators or just members out to film you so that you can be identified later. Once they find your info, they will attempt to send you death threats, black PR you, etc. They've been caught framing people with bomb threats and other things like showering your neighborhood with XXX is a child molester fliers.

If you look closely at some of the photos and videos coming out, you can see Cult members filming from the inside.
