The Internet Declares War On Scientology
A confederation of internet users (possibly originating at the message board 4chan, but soon consisting of YTMND members, Something Awful members, Digg users, and on and on) called “Anonymous” has declared war on Scientology.
This all started with Scientology’s latest legal battle to force Gawker to take down a video of Tom Cruise acting like a nutter at a Scientology event.
Anonymous released a video giving the Scientology organization a heads up that war was being declared:
It’s hard to watch that without being reminded of Jennifer Connolly humiliating herself in “Requiem for a Dream”, but once you get past the music choice it’s a pretty interesting watch.
The Anonymous group has, for the past few days, been using denial of service attacks on Scientology websites, hosting secret Scientology documents, making prank calls, and just altogether being nuisances whenever possible with regards to Scientology.
This is a redoubling of efforts from the Anonymous group, who have been harassing Scientology for some time now. The Church issued a $5,000 bounty for information leading to the identification of Anonymous members months ago.
It would be awfully ironic if the Scientologists relentless celeb recruiting is what ultimately ends up biting them in the ass. The internet tends to have a short attention span, so it’s hard to say how long this will go on, but I for one am rooting for Anonymous.
