I am not Anonymous
This past Sunday (2008-02-10) was when the group known as Anonymous declared there should be protests outside all the Scientology centers. I was mildly surprised that such demonstrations occurred, and this prodded me out of hiding to make this post.
The first message from Anonymous to Scientology is on youtube here. It is quite a treat -- their sense of theater is perfect. I recommend it.
There are several other such messages, reactions to and parodies of the messages, and clips of news coverage and clips of the worldwide protests all posted on youtube. There is even a wiki setup at http://www.partyvan.info/index.php/Project_Chanology, which fits into this on the side of Anonymous (as much as a public wiki could, at least).
If you need a refresher on the cult then Operation Snow White is a good start, as is the more recent BBC Panorama row.
From the Los Angeles Times article about Sunday:
Asked to explain the sudden groundswell of opposition to Scientology, Lynn Fountain Campbell, who said she'd been part of the church for 40 years, said, "It's just reached a critical mass. People just aren't scared anymore."
Cheers.
Bonus limerick:
A woman in liquor production
Owns a still of exquisite construction.
The alcohol boils
Through magnetic coils.
She says that it's "proof by induction."
