    good message, but no official
    • Quakank, on 01/29/2008, -22/+24I agree. I wish more people would listen to the parts about not attacking the beliefs of the Scientologists. Almost all the "raid" vids I've seen on youtube involve laughing at and insulting their beliefs, and much less attacking of the actions ANON is fighting. Their beliefs are pretty crazy and everyone is entitled to their opinion of how retarded they are, but it's important that attacking their beliefs does not become the core of the battle. That'll just help the Scientologists.
      • alkajazz, on 01/29/2008, -11/+24Its a Pyramid scheme. They take advantage of people. How is that right?
        • AntzNZ, on 01/29/2008, -0/+20I think what he is trying to get at, is it is not the beliefs we should be attacking, more the ways they promote there beliefs, and what they do to the followers.
          • Quakank, on 01/29/2008, -1/+8THANK YOU. No one else seems to understand that Scientologists' beliefs are not "charge people a quarter of a million dollars for training" or "isolate a person requiring medical attention until they die" or any other crazy thing that people are mad about. We aren't trying to stop people from believing the crazy ***** about Xenu and golden airliners, or that psychiatry is dangerous even. It's what the Scientologists DO that we we need to be attacking.
        • digichris, on 01/29/2008, -16/+11So is Christianity, and alot of other religions in some ways, but people somehow overlook the fact they do pretty much the same things. Murder in the name of their beliefs (in the form of brainwashing their own members to the point of starvation or whatnot). They brainwash their followers. They collect money just like other religions... Of course it's not right, that's just common sense.

          But people are acting like Scientology are the first brainiacs to pull something like this off. I think these people need to find something better to do with their time, ala war protesting or whatever. Hating on/harassing/raiding Scientology is just as much of a joke as the religion itself.

          As far as them taking advantage of their followers, people know when they go for their first "e-meter reading" (whatever the ***** they call it) that they are walking into the CHURCH of Scientology, not a Scientology medical center, not a stress clinic, or anything such. So it's not like they are tricked into coughing up cash for nothing...they are looking for some type of spiritual guidance... You go in, they tell you a little of their ***** story of how this entity created us and if we dont do this, then bad things will happen. And if you believe it - your in for life, you give them money, you do their rituals (fasting, praying 5 times a day, not eating this type of food, etc.) until you either die, or realize that your religion is BS. Weather it's in the form of donations at mass every Sunday, or in the form of Scientology pay-per-knowledge plans. You pay them to fill you with the bliss of ignorance. So if you want to save all these poor people that are robbed/killed/brainwashed by religion, why only pick on Scientology? I guess an easy target since the Southpark episode?

          This whole Scientology-Anon stuff is *yawn* IMO. Let's focus on more important ***** people, like if Brittney is wearing undies today...
          • chrillen, on 01/29/2008, -3/+9Yeah, I pay so much money to my church and give so much of my life to it.
          • atheinostic, on 01/29/2008, -0/+3Church is free, Scientology is not.

            Christians won't stalk and harass and harm you if you leave Christianity; Scientologists will.
        • Ben1220, on 01/29/2008, -2/+12Yeah, lots of churches are guilty of promoting their beliefs this way, but scientolgy is much worse, they have even gotten into a row with google, they try to get rid of links with criticism in them. And the original founder also spoke about making a religion for profit.
          • viruz, on 01/29/2008, -3/+6Christianity was no different back in its day. Scientologist may have killed a few people, but how many has christianity killed for being critical of it?
        • loquax, on 01/29/2008, -0/+10I am a Catholic; and as far as the "established" Christian denominations, we are perhaps the most organized and politically active. I've been very disappointed in resent years with how the Church has handled the priest sexual abuse cases, and I've made my views known. I've even gone so far as to stop giving them money beyond the parish level (I give to Kiva.org instead). I've expressed my displeasure to priests and bishops, written about it, and freely talked to others in my church about it. Never have I felt threatened. Never have I looked out the window and wondered if the black van outside was from the Vatican. I have never received numerous phone calls of a disturbing nature.
          The Co$ uses tactics like this. They had an "Operation Freekout" where they attempted to get a journalist who was investigating them arrested or committed to an psychiatric hospital (go figure that one out as they hate psychiatry). They had several operations in the U.S. to infiltrate the IRS, the American Medical Association, and have done similar things in Canada and Europe.
          Part of their doctrine is the idea of "Game." From what I can gather, the "Game" is a competition between all beings, and the Scientologists are all on the same team. Going after someone who opposes Scientology's power moves, or going after someone who exposes them marks you as "fair game." They claim that they have abolished this doctrine, but if you watch the Panorama BBC document, you can see it is still in place.
          Like Anon has said, Scientology's beliefs are not what is at issue here. As a Christian, I can fully recognize how weird some of my beliefs are. I have friends who are Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, atheists, and a bunch of other things. I respect their religious beliefs, and I have never tried to impose my faith on them. I put Co$ in the category of some of the Christian Identity churches who espouse white-supremacy. I don't care if someone who is CI believes that whites are superior to other humans, but I do care when churches associated with CI attack people of other races.
          We have to oppose tyranny, slavery, and intimidation when we see it. I don't agree 100% with Anon's tactics, but I do agree with their basic message and the basic reason behind their attact.
      • alkajazz, on 01/29/2008, -0/+3Religion will always be manipulated for power and money. The catholic church did it, churches still do it. Pastors do it. Politicians play off religious sentiments for it. As long as people are willing to accept blind faith, they will be deceived. The Truth will set you free.
    • Archcoder, on 01/29/2008, -7/+113There is no official voice of Anonymous. There are no leaders. There are no PR centers. Anonymous is a decentralized collective.
      • lostboy, on 01/29/2008, -20/+12no it's not. Simply put Anonymous always publishes under the same youtube name so we know what is from them and what is unofficial.
        Sorry if that idea doesn't sound attractive, sorry if the idea that there are individuals in the group taking specific action, sorry that I suggest now that these videos are all about PR and propaganda. Anonymous publishes under a specific name so we can follow their words, whether we agree or disagree. Your soundbites may garner diggs but the truth of the matter is more mundane.
      • njcarlos, on 01/29/2008, -3/+2The problem with that theory is that with no leader, stupid 8 year olds will embark on some epic quest to debunk, or rebuke the presence of, Scientology. In this way, you'll have nothing more than an unorganized group of idiots making prank calls and otherwise undermining the original group that in reality has substantial power limited not to foolish games. I get it: some people, even on Digg, have no life or life meaning and in a knee-jerk reaction, attempt to do do something meaningful. They have a false perception of power and unity, when in reality anyone who does nothing more than pranks their centers is similarly nothing more than a nuisance.
    • randomerratum, on 06/10/2008, -5/+15So how does one actually confirm the authenticity of an anonymous author?

      Not trying to sound facetious, seriously wondering.
      • Hellbacon, on 01/29/2008, -1/+20Look at what they're saying.
      • PathDaemon, on 01/29/2008, -3/+18As hard as it is to believe, anonymous has no leaders. Sites like 711chan and partyvan acted as bases out of support for the cause, but while some people may have had more involvement up to now, they could leave the "group" and not be missed.

        Unfortunately, a consequence of this is that the videos "released by anonymous" will continue to get ***** due to ***** creators.

        But this concept comes from the *chans: you're permitted to post without logging in and without filling in any of the fields that you usually see above comment forms. When you do, you post as Anonymous. Therefore, on the *chans, anonymous is nonexistent. It is the internet. It is the unnamed. It is sometimes sarcastic and it sometimes picks up memes, BUT IT CAN TAKE UP CAUSES. And anonymous has declared war on Scientology.

        A question to Digg: 711chan is gone. Partyvan is gone. #xenu is gone (banned me with "anonymous will find a new home"). Where is anonymous to turn? Where is this new home? Is there a new Wiki, a new IRC channel?
    • scoutxxor, on 01/29/2008, -9/+3redudant:
      digg is supposed to be a news site.

      let me know when something new happens.
    • Audacitor, on 01/29/2008, -0/+6Sorry to comment-jack, guys, but the video that this announcement replies to might be of some interest to anyone who's been following this story.

  • Berkana, on 01/29/2008, -93/+50If y'all don't mind, let me present to you Old L. Ron Hubbard, an epic poem about the struggle between a totalitarian megalomaniac who wanted to shape the world after himself, and the faceless protagonist who issues public notices from a synthesized voice:

    Old L. Ron Hubbard
    went to the cupboard
    to find Dianetics a home (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianetics )
    and to his surprise
    what he found was inside
    was an e-meter there all alone. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-meter )

    So he set up a table
    and as much as was able,
    gave stress tests to all passers by
    and one by one slowly
    the ignorant lowly
    did see their own cash swiftly fly.

    And soon Ron was stoked
    with legions of blokes
    and celebrity jokes all around (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_cruise )
    with thetans a purging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thetans )
    a cult was emerging
    Scientology swiftly gained ground.

    But some tried to leave,
    and this Ron did grieve,
    on them "Fair Game" he declaired. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Game_%28Scientol ... )
    with goons at command
    the command was at hand
    to strike them swift unprepared.

    This did continue
    through many a venue
    through Narconon, Delphian too. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narconon , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphian_School )
    operation snow white (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Snow_White )
    displayed how they fight
    the list of their victims thus grew. (http://whyaretheydead.net/ )

    Some SPs got killed, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppressive_person )
    free speech then got chilled,
    all of this observed by anon. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCbKv9yiLiQ )
    We raised a cry
    this cult to defy
    to fight them until they are gone.

    The war was declared,
    their server not spared, (http://www.digg.com/security/Hackers_brutalize_Sci ... )
    The MSM echoed the news (http://www.digg.com/politics/NBC_Group_wants_to_de ... )
    beware of their lies
    and intentions disguised
    for slavery you must not choose.

    So 2/10/08
    show up at their gate
    with protesting pickets in hand
    exposing their lies
    deprive them their prize
    and justice for victims demand.
    • metapop, on 01/29/2008, -18/+25my advice? stick to haikus.
      example:

      long post
      read by few, bringing shame to family
      buried by many
      -metapop
      • Wandel, on 01/29/2008, -6/+20I think someone doesn't know what makes a haiku...
        • darkmist, on 01/29/2008, -4/+8I think the first five words are meant to be the first line
          • drgmdp, on 01/29/2008, -5/+11wrong, it's all about the number of syllabes
          • Prayer4theDying, on 01/29/2008, -0/+7darkmist got it right. If you read the first 5 words together, it works out right.

            long - post - read - by -few (5)
            bring-ing - shame - to - fam-i-ly (7)
            bu-ried - by - man-y (5)
        • metapop, on 01/29/2008, -5/+15according to wikipedia, modern haiku is much more free-form and less constrained to syllabic limitations, and i chose to exercise my new found haiku freedoms. i never in my wildest dreams thought i would be debating contemporary haiku on digg, yet here we are.
          • PathDaemon, on 01/29/2008, -3/+5A haiku is defined by its syllabic structure. That insane limitation brings out much better work.
          • bot001220, on 01/29/2008, -5/+3wikipedia can be edited by any random smacktard with an internet connection. don't treat it as a source of infinite knowledge.
          • round427, on 01/29/2008, -3/+3i am sophisticated, hip and witty as indicated by my exclusive use of lowercase letters. envy me.
      • HiKevinRose, on 01/29/2008, -8/+2Your Haiku is bad (5)
        You know nothing of Haiku (7)
        Don't do another. (5)

        Here's my contemporary Haiku, ready?

        You suck at Haikus

        There, free-form with zero regard for syllabic integrity. ;-)
      • DominicSL, on 01/29/2008, -2/+2A little knowledge is a dangerous thing... people have 1 day covering "haiku" in 10th grade English and they are experts.

        Who submitted the scientology article to the poetry section of digg, anyway?
    • kss42, on 01/29/2008, -4/+59Be wary, be wary, the tenth of Feb'rary,
      Anonymous follows its goals.
      We cannot seek fame,
      For we all share one name,
      Why do it, then? For epic lulz.
    • supermajic, on 01/29/2008, -4/+11I do mind.

      Oh and tl;dr.
    • jj101, on 01/29/2008, -4/+4Dude I liked it!
    • TrevorBelmont, on 01/29/2008, -2/+2TL;DR:
      Scientology bad.
  • akermani, on 01/29/2008, -34/+10the voice brings back bad memories of Bonzi Buddy, why coudnt it pronounce my damn NAME!!

  • mstrike, on 01/29/2008, -126/+21Okay, stop spamming digg with this *****.
    • lostdiggacct, on 01/29/2008, -7/+19All of this totally flew over your head, didn't it?
    • doctorfungi, on 01/29/2008, -9/+52It's replacing the Ron Paul spam. I love it.
    • Solarbip, on 01/29/2008, -6/+12stfu.
    • digitalarcanum, on 01/29/2008, -3/+16quit your blubbering you giant vagina. people are dying because of this cult. free speech is being suppressed. they're infiltrating government faster and more violently than almost any other religion on the face of the earth. Not just in the United States, but all over the world and all you can say is shut up?

      ***** you.
  • makkaveli19, on 01/29/2008, -39/+31Dugg for great justice!
    • danthemanhan, on 01/29/2008, -14/+8stop saying that.
    • stklaw, on 01/29/2008, -17/+6To be honest, I dont know what a group of people with computers can do to a group of people with money, lawyers and lots of it. I mean, it's not gonna do anything in any period of time.
      Islamic people dont suddenly change religion because theres lots of people criticizing them. Same goes with other religions/cults/whatever.
      To the non-nerds, anonymous is just a attention hungry hacker group.
      • chinaman9, on 01/29/2008, -5/+3u r a *****... please become an hero... negative infinity internets 4u...lulz!
      • round427, on 01/29/2008, -0/+6Shifting public opinion against Scientology even more than Tom Cruise has already done would be a huge blow to the organization, because they depend on brainwashing tactics to obtain and keep their followers. Simply spreading the truth (notice how no lies have been told about the organization; all this crazy ***** is true) is doing what they're most afraid of. That's why it's important to spread information about them to as wide an audience as possible.
        • jj101, on 01/29/2008, -0/+3Exactly. Knowledge is a type of power. Ignorance is a type of weakness - one that is preyed upon by cults like the CoS. By simply generating publicity they are raising awareness and informing people about the nature of this cut. This is something the CoS has used the full extent of the law (and then some) and lots of money to prevent. Well done to anon!
      • DominicSL, on 01/29/2008, -0/+3Thats just what the people who run the church of scientology want you to think. They've actually made it quite easy for a group like us to assist in their dismantling, simply by being so brazen in their disregard for human rights and the law.
    • PATSCRU, on 01/29/2008, -2/+12ITT: Newfags.
  • DirtyWorker, on 01/29/2008, -64/+20Burried for not being an official one.

      anonymous is never official. regardless of who we are, what names we have here on digg, or on the internet, we are all anonymous and we are all tired of this *****. digg me down if you want, but 2/10/08 -- the people fight.
    • TrevorBelmont, on 01/29/2008, -1/+1What kind of group do you think you're talking about? I'd have called it an "organization" but it it is NO way organized. It's a faceless, headless mob by design.
      I envision a group of people (many of them wearing eye patches) down at Internet HQ sitting around a table in the Situation Room saying "Gentlemen, something needs to be done about this rogue "third video". It is unsanctioned and unofficial!"
  • z3r0c0O1, on 01/29/2008, -33/+10VIVA LA XENU!

    • hillkiwi, on 01/29/2008, -3/+6Agreed, Enigma playing in the background just doesn't do it for me. How about something from the Quake 4 Soundtrack? (Reznor)
  • topgun553, on 01/29/2008, -35/+4Completely ignoring the message... that voice still creeps me out a bit

  • RuyGuy, on 01/29/2008, -24/+154This has nothing to do with the first two of similar fashion.

    Nothing with anon is "official" btw.

    Buried for lack of creativity. Get your own ideas.
    • llamakoolaid, on 01/29/2008, -3/+1Science damn you!
    • olbap, on 01/29/2008, -3/+5You state that nothing with Anon is official. In fact, Anon can be you or me if either of us chose to contribute. So, whomever made this video decided to do just that, carry the message on...and you bury for lack of creativity? Man, what cockroach ended up in your cereal this morning?
      • turpenine, on 01/30/2008, -0/+2the cockroach just so happened to be your mom.
  • mikexr, on 01/29/2008, -23/+78Here's my question: Where does the insanity stop? How far up the food chain do you have to go before someone finally lets you know that it's all a ***** up pyramid scheme? Who's beyond that? Are the people benefiting from this brilliant masterminds or masterminds that buy their own *****?
  • vpshockwave, on 01/29/2008, -35/+10Doesn't seem official. Inconsistencies.
    • insertcleverid, on 01/29/2008, -2/+7It might be official, or, at least from some one near the decision making process. It seems perfectly reasonable given the news coverage. They're just trying to control the story.
      • chinaman9, on 01/29/2008, -0/+6There is NO ONE "near the decision making process"... There is no "OFFICIAL".... Anonymous is LEGION... It doesn't take a central organization to make decisions and plans when the goal is simply what is right... CoS is BaD, people the world around agree on this... Everyone who hates CoS acts of their own free will and in their own way to further the cause of ridding the world of this EVIL SCOURGE..
  • DonJohnTom, on 01/29/2008, -28/+8dugg for "kill workers"
  • kris33, on 01/29/2008, -33/+10Great! While we are trying to kill Scientology, the Scientology stuff ends up killing Digg instead.
    • round427, on 01/29/2008, -2/+8I have a feeling you aren't part of "we". Stop crying.
      • kris33, on 01/29/2008, -1/+2I wish Scientology (and HD DVD :p) a quick and horrible death, just like everybody else. I just have a feeling that spamming digg about it isn't the right way to do it.
        • round427, on 01/29/2008, -1/+3I also loathe spam, but given the nature of the beast (Scientology suing its critics and generally trying to ruin their lives for simply spreading information) I feel this is all justified. If this were about anything else, like Habbo Hotel raids, I would bury it. So, I digg up all these stories.
    • digitalarcanum, on 01/29/2008, -2/+5another blubbering vagina on digg. be happy; it's replaced ron paul spam.
    • mcduckov, on 01/29/2008, -1/+4In Soviet Russia you STFU and GTFO.

  • bringitdownnow, on 01/29/2008, -19/+11It's official, I did not make this video. The same people responsible for the two videos are responsible for this one. This is not a clone and soon proof will be shown.
    • Electric_Sheep, on 01/29/2008, -3/+10If it was by the same people responsible, why didn't they post it on the same YouTube account that they came from: http://www.youtube.com/user/Church0fScientology

      That was the first which introduced the format of stock footage and computer generated voice. Anything that is published in the same format and not from that account i will take with a pinch of salt.

    • chasemus, on 01/29/2008, -10/+4Oh; this is a very elaborate hoax. All this time I thought it was real, with actual churches, followers, dogma, and protestors.

      The Internet is cruel to me.
    • Berkana, on 01/29/2008, -2/+23Seriously, with a name like "scientology" for a religion, how anyone could take them seriously is beyond me.
    • MacSuxWindozSux, on 01/29/2008, -4/+17Scientology the name steals credibility from science, they aren't even related.
      Their symbol, a cross with a flash behind it, steals credibility from the Cristian faiths.

      Fake.
      • mashw, on 01/29/2008, -6/+2That's not what fake means though, for ***** sake. You're describing misuse and credibility by proxy or association. Fake would imply that it doesn't actually exist, when judging by the ridiculous amounts of spam it produces on Digg, I would say it very much does exist.
    • CallMeMatt, on 01/29/2008, -1/+4Go read this article from Time Magazine in 1991. Very informative regarding the true nature of this organization:

    • calon9, on 01/29/2008, -1/+2Scientology is a masterful creation, and demonstrates the intentions of its creator beautifully. I understand how the higher-ups who make money from it 'get it' and see it for what it is.

      But I can't understand how new people are brought into it every year and can't see it as a pyramid scheme masquerading as psychological science masquerading as religion masquerading as science fantasy.
    • pell, on 01/29/2008, -2/+3All religion is fake, this is no worse.
      • dawnraid101, on 01/29/2008, -1/+1***** you, you fake.
      • coldxrain, on 01/29/2008, -0/+0yo just imagine catholics charging 500+ per hour for confession and writing it all down, and hookin u up to a lie detector, and filing it away so it can (and will) be used against you if u decide to leave the faith. imagine the vatican sending troops to ur house to picket and spread lies about u just cuz u spoke out against anything about the religion. imagine them suing you for quoting the bible.
        also imagine needing to be a priest before u could buy and read the bible.
        i can understand and even agree that all religion is bs, but ill accept them cuz most actually do work for the common good of man, and most are so old theyre engraved in out cultures.
        scientology is waaaay different though. u dont have to believe me, but u have to believe lisa mcpherson.

  • isaactwito, on 01/29/2008, -27/+4Wow, three video messages and they are still pussy little bitches from what anyone can see. "Ooh, look at me, I can pull off immature pranks on some cult because I think it's cool to play The Lone Gunmen". It's just getting embarrassing, Anonymous.
    • RSterkenburg, on 01/29/2008, -1/+4You've probably only watched the Youtube videos, and what, read 1 news article on the net? If you knew what was happening, the sheer number of people involved, you wouldn't have responded this way. There has already been irreparable damage to Scientology, not just "immature pranks." Anonymous is legion. The way you're categorizing, it's like you think Anonymous is a cult, like Scientology. Anonymous is not 'one', and Anonymous is not 'identical'.

      Get your ***** straight, and don't attack something you don't understand.

  • hillkiwi, on 01/29/2008, -16/+114Anonymous is a great idea, but what if Scientology puts out videos that mimic these in an attempt to discredit them? How will we know which ones are real?
    • bgolds99, on 01/29/2008, -10/+26real ones are posted by youtube user Church0fScientology
    • hextic, on 01/29/2008, -0/+48Anonymous knows Anonymous's intentions, and any Anonymouses out there will know what they believe.
    • vervalsing, on 01/29/2008, -1/+29Anonymous keeps switching accounts, many of the videos aren't posted on just one, I guess to avoid the CoS YouTube mafia. I'm guessing it won't be too hard to tell if it's fake...If "Anon" starts making videos about throwing dead puppies at Scientologists or stapling anti-CoS fliers to endangered species, it's a safe bet that it's not real. This seems pretty consistent with what's been going down at partyvan so far...Even if it wasn't made by the so-called "inner core" of Anonymous, it was still made by someone who aligns themselves with Anon.
    • frankfingerman, on 01/29/2008, -13/+2http://funky-bunch.blogspot.com/ is the anon blog.
    • MacSuxWindozSux, on 01/29/2008, -0/+7I was thinking the same this as I wrote this.

      The Church of Scientology may try to hijack the message in an attempt to sabotage the movement against them.

      But... this is the same thing that conventional freedom fighters have faced in the past. It'll work out. Especially if Anon released videos accusing Scientology for impersonating Anon.
    • hillkiwi, on 01/29/2008, -0/+6They need something like an original song, or complex combination of overlapping noises that would be hard to reproduce. They could play 5 second consecutive segments at the end of each video, and if the sounds spliced to together perfectly with previous videos you'd know they were authentic.

      Of course if multiple people are making the videos independently of one another some kind of secured sharing of the master file would need to take place at some point.
      • RSterkenburg, on 01/29/2008, -0/+4Or they could just keep releasing them via Church0fScientology.
        • hillkiwi, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2True, you just have to hope Sci can't somehow get that account closed.
      • t3rmv3locity, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2You would be surprised how easy it is to manipulate audio with the right tools. I am a Pro Tools user, and I do pro audio recording. Different frequencies could be separated, copied, shifted (in pitch and time), sped up or slowed down (without changing the sound of the audio). Before computers that may have worked, but the new ability to manipulate audio with (very) expensive software has changed all of that.
    • dremspider, on 01/29/2008, -4/+5Any video that has a "hail XENU" at the end is probably not from anonymous
      • Schneckehaus, on 01/29/2008, -0/+10Xenu is not god in scientology, he is the devil.

    • TrevorBelmont, on 01/29/2008, -3/+1Anon discredits it's self FAR WORSE than the CoS ever could every day. They do it with poo porn, butchered pets, gay bashing, hate and CP. In this way they are unassailable. In their own words, it would be like pissing into a sea of piss.
      • anonsage, on 01/29/2008, -1/+2don't associate anon with those things. we are NOT one person - one force - we are *everyone*.
        • TrevorBelmont, on 01/29/2008, -2/+1As you only started posting under the name "Anonsage" ten days ago, it is clear to me that you are a Chanology bandwaggoner and a newf@g.
          Any old school tard would see that what I've said above is true and would be proud. Anon is many things to many people but he is ABSOLUTELY NOT everyone. Go back to Gaia

    • Archcoder, on 01/29/2008, -2/+31Scientology is a business using a cult as a front.
    • insertcleverid, on 01/29/2008, -1/+17Despite the 'possibly fake' nature of all religions, Scientology is particularly bad, because they are, unlike most christian faiths, cult-like. They have the following cult features, my top 5: 1. They are authoritarian. All other features reflect this. 2. Pyramidal structure - the leadership reserves 'truth' from the low level members, in fact, use outright lies in recruiting process (the whole 'alien thing' only comes up after all the personality tests are done.) 3. Uses thought reform. (watch the south park episode and tell me that's not thought reform, they have an alternate frickin COSMOLOGY for god's sake.) 4. Isolation of members, geographically, socially and otherwise (they have literally allowed subjects to die, rather than release them back into society via Emergency Rooms.) 5. Charismatic or messianic leader who is self-appointed and has a special mission in life, like L-RON.

      Thanks to Carol Giambalvo's website for suppling the original list of 13 cult characteristics.
    • JoeVet, on 01/29/2008, -1/+5So are you just a run of the mill troll or a scientologist?

  • mdmnky13, on 01/29/2008, -17/+14The account the other two were posted on is still up, I don't see why they would post a video on another account. I doubt this is real. Other videos used only sky time-lapse, not cars and butterflies.
    • d00ter, on 01/29/2008, -1/+4Its not a specific person posting these videos. Its everyone, there is no Anon leader. Just because one uses Microsoft Sam's voice, and another uses a different computer generated voice doesn't mean one isn't real.

    • drjones78, on 01/29/2008, -17/+6I'm burying out of principle. Scientology is stupid, but so is Anon.
    • postalblowfish7, on 01/29/2008, -0/+7maybe it's just being buried by people who are sick of hearing about this *****. post something up when anon actually DOES SOMETHING besides posting some ***** videos and overrun websites.

  • HotDogBun, on 01/29/2008, -28/+10It's a shame they don't focus their efforts on a cult that is actually dangerous, such as Christianity or Islam

    • hatdrop, on 01/29/2008, -1/+10i don't see priests or muslims forcing people to pay large sums of money in order to learn their scriptures, nor do i see them doing extensive background searches to digg dirt up on their critics.

      tailing and stalking said critics for miles to their houses, throwing law suits, assaulting people with hammers

      < sarcasm> yes, it's those OTHER cults that are dangerous...
      • HotDogBun, on 01/29/2008, -0/+2I Don't see tom cruise invading countries and torturing their occupants until they convert. i don't see john travolta flying his 767 into a skyscraper chanting Hubbard Akbar. I don;t see isaac hayes dragging a homosexual behind his pickup truck until he dies.

        Christianity and Islam are the two most dangerous cults on earth, and they actually threaten the very existence of humanity.
    • hmcook87, on 01/29/2008, -0/+5Everything based on faith has some element of danger to it, because it involves a detachment from critical thinking and rationality. scientology is just particularly underhanded.

    • detonate, on 01/29/2008, -1/+14The Youtube viewcount doesn't update in real-time.
  • bringitdownnow, on 01/29/2008, -20/+6If the video were fake, and manufactured by myself for the attention, I would've linked it to my blog (where, for the record, I also posted it).
  • insertcleverid, on 01/29/2008, -2/+2Two days ago Anon sounded like a loose, open group of malicious techno-elitists looking to ***** with random people for lulz, who then happened to (virtuously or not perhaps beside the point) decide to go after what is arguably the most dangerous and evil cults on earth. This action cast them as flawed heroes of literary proportions akin to Clint Eastwood in the wild west. Now, if this video is connected to who ever is top dog (or top of the dog-pile for now) over at Anon, they seem to be actively promoting themselves and their actions in a better light with deliberate political guile. If they succeed, this will make it more difficult for them to justify them getting their lulz at the expense of innocent, happy go lucky internet citizens. That would make Anon, in my book, anyway, an organization of great potential and optimism. If, on the other hand, its just a release from some coat tail rider, hoping for a seat at the table, and Anon is really just looking for notoriety and fear mongering instead of a real advancement in internet equality and freedom, they just might be a cure worse than the cold. I say too close to call. Unless, of course, the top dog at Anon lets me know just what the hell they're up to.
    • Hellbacon, on 01/29/2008, -0/+1.... there's no top dog. especially not moot, he wishes to be the little girl.
