While it is somewhat of a futile point since people that are ambitious can get around that by blocking their I.P.’s, using proxies or going off-site to another location, the gesture itself sends a message that the usually neutral wikipedia isn’t happy about the bombarding of Scientology propaganda on their website, which tries to have it’s content remain objective.
Penn Jillette, an avowed atheist, had an interesting commentary about the situation.
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights is a Scientology front group that has put out a documentary called Making A Killing: The Untold Story Of Psychotropic Drugging.
The documentary, much like the museum and it’s travelling display version, are full of ad-hominems, non-sequiturs, straw-man arguments and various other logical fallacies.
Anonymous are freaking out the Holmes-Cruises! Protesting Katie’s big Broadway play and Tom’s Valkyrie opening, the group has been making public life unpleasant for the Dianetics Duo all year, driving home the actors’ association with the cult of Scientology.
Cruise has spent £5 million on an underground bunker in the grounds of his estate in Colorado. In August, threats were made to place anthrax in the air vents of his Los Angeles office.
Now we feel bad for pointing out that Katie looks like crap of late! Biological threats must be very stressful
Reports don’t specify that Anonymous was responsible for the anthrax threats; it could have been any number of people who hope to see Katie & Suri escape from Witch Mountain.
Two gentlemen, fired for refusing to attend mandatory Scientology classes at their place of work, are suing software firm Diskeeper for religious discrimination. Included in the lawsuit is a sanction preventing Diskeeper from making attendance at Hubbard Study Technology courses compulsory.
The company, who’s founder and chief exec Craig Jensen is a committed Scientologist, argues that religious instruction in the workplace is protected by the First Amendment, so the sanction is unconstitutional. Really? Forced cult classes are totally ok with the US government?
The German government was so spooked by the Co$ connection that the asked Microsoft if they could inspect the source code before Diskeeper, integrated into Windows 2000, was allowed to be used in government applications. There were some rumours the software would harvest data from user’s machines, presumably creating a database for Xenu’s nefarious purposes.
In other Scientology news, Katie Holmes looks god awful! Some say it’s her Broadway schedule or that she’s pregnant again, but they’re underestimating Tom’s mind control powers. Katie’s also sporting some weird cult-like vampire bites around her foot.
Mario Majorski, 48, was blown away yesterday outside the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre International in LA by Co$ security goons. To be fair, he did burst out of a cherry-red rental car wielding two samurai swords, but who says he didn’t have a reason? He was once “associated with the Church”, so maybe he had his own crazy business to finish. Cops say it was self defence on the part of the goons.
OCTOBER 8/08Uwe Stuckenbrock died in a Los Angeles Scientology prison camp. (Win: Scientology)
OCTOBER 12/08 Nearby, four days later, a masked Anon peacefully protesting on L Ron Hubbard Way in LA was punched in the face by a Scientologist, who was summarily arrested. (Win: Anon)
OCTOBER 17/08 Katie Holms’ play All My Sons officially opened on Broadway, bringing the promised Anonymous protests and $684,002 in pre-opening box office. Rumors abound that Katie, tasting sweet freedom in NYC (and hopefully considerable personal consternation at the appearance of Anonymous), may be entertaining escaping the cult, and thereby Tom. (Win: 1/2 point to Anon for the protest, 1/2 point on hold til some celebrity rumors are substantiated)
OCTOBER 17/08 Teenager Dmitriy Guzner plead guilty in New Jersey for the January DDOS (Denial of Service) attacks on Scientology’s website. The “church”, like any non-profit organization, claims something in the hood of 70 grand in damages for the hours their site was down. (Win: Scientology)
OCTOBER 18/08 Today was the world-wide zombie-themed ‘Shocktober‘ protest, in which cities all over the globe saw protests of their local Scientology centers. Here’s munichnon’s Flickr set of the Munich Day of the Lulzing Dead Reports are that protests in Ottawa and Quebec city were shut down by police. (Win: Anon)
OCTOBER SCORES: Co$: 2 | Anonymous: 2.5
The theatrical NY Anons zombie it up - lots of faces here, kids; don’t forget your masks.
And a pretty funny take on the original Anonymous video that started it all:
Uwe, 46, reportedly “died October 8 of multiple sclerosis while on Rehabilitation Project Force in a building attached to the Scientology compound on L. Ron Hubbard Way. RPF is a form of punishment, including reduced rations and hard labor, meted out to the elite Scientology Sea Organization religious workers for perceived crimes against Scientology.”
The RPF is a gulag; the worst kind of mental prison camp in which cult members are stripped of their ID, passports, credit cards, privacy, dignity, and health. A RPF member “Has no Liberties“.
In an “fictional” series of newsletters, ‘RPF Insider‘ describes Uwe’s situation, from his imprisonment in 2001 to his physical deterioration of the last few years:
Uwe cannot even get up to go to the bathroom. What in hell
is he doing in the RPF?? He cannot be getting enough professional care and
attention and it’s INHUMAN to watch what is going on. All the other RPFers
are probably also outraged, but are suppressing their own feelings, in the
hope of not missing their own chance to get out of here. I’m actually
wondering how long these guys will survive and why they are not granted some
forgiveness for whatever they were assigned to the RPF for. Human decency
would be to sign them in to a proper nursing home to recover or at least die
in peace. The one theory that I have is this: Uwe Stuckenbrock was the
International Security Chief at Hemet. O’boy! What would happen if he had
the opportunity to let the world know what is going on up there or the
security issues that exist all over the planet. I’m sure that he’s kept in
the RPF so won’t be able to leak any data out.
Anonymous has posted this:
“Anonymous is fully aware of his condition prior to death, due to the maltreatment your sorry excuses for doctors handled him with. Stuckenbrock was denied medication for his MS. He was held against his will.”
A search for a photo of Uwe on Google turns up this ominous message: “In response to a complaint we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at ChillingEffects.org.” Not so lol. The offending site was Xenu.net.
The next Anonymous protests against the cult of Scientology are this Saturday, October 18.
Katie, as you know, hit Broadway a few weeks ago. The attendant Anonymous pestering must have been a wakeup call for how weird the rest of the world thinks her life is, because the young Scientologist is reportedly thinking of moving to NYC, where she’s a little more out of the cult’s clutches. The play actually opens this week, and Anonymous promise to be there.
And some Katie-inspired anti-Co$ video action from ‘fromacloset‘:
I just read something crazy. Apparently Marc Headley, an ex-Scientolgist A/V guy, says that Co$ actually arranged a fake casting call in order to dredge up chicks for the undatable Tom Cruise, back when Penelope split. Potential wife material included Jennifer Garner, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba. Only Scarlett took the bait, but freaked when she found out the “audition” was at the Scientology Center in LA and refused to make a tape. Katie Holmes, being much more impressionable/much less hot than the A-list, went for it, Tom just loved her and the rest is celebricult history!
This video also available on AnonTube, for when the American Rights Counsel [sic!] starts serving up those takedown notices
Last week there was some litigation nonsense over at YouTube, with someone suspiciously like the “Church” of Scientology issuing takedown notices on some 4000 Scientology-related videos. In response to this, Anonymous has launched their own video channel…AnonTube!
The site pulls videos from YouTube with tags like “Scientology” and “Chanology”, but has backups, should the meddling f(r)iends of Co$ try to remove the content again. AnonTube serves as a nice aggregator of raid documentary videos and original Anon content, and will hopefully develop some good Anonymous conversation & commenting.
“You’ve shown many times that you are unable to make the right decisions on your own. Only after complaints of hundreds or thousands of users, you are willing to listen. You are often a tool in the hands of fraudulent corporations, evil regimes and abusive cults. You have taken down videos of users who simply spoke out against evil and abuse.”
