4chan/Anonymous Declares War on the Church of Scientology

[1337m4n]

Habeeb it:

Youtube: Anon's Message to the CoS

Encyclopedia Dramatica article on "Project Chanology" (some NSFW language)

Wikipedia article on "Project Chanology"

"Project Chanology" Facebook Group

If you don't feel like clicking all of these, just read the Wikipedia link. It gives a general synopsis--the other links are more specific details.

This is just plain epic, if you ask me.

Nevar underestimate the power of the INTERNET HATE MACHINE.

I've been following this for a few days and it's kept me greatly amused.

XenuTV1- a youtube user who has been fighting CoS for a decade has posted a response aimed at Anonymous calling for them to be careful of CoS's litigeous nature and other creepy tactics they use. Several teens have already been followed by... well, followers, for some time after picketing a branch office.

This is well worth keeping an eye on

There already is a thread about this in General Skepticism.

I don't see it so I'll post here.

Perhaps RSL could put a bug in their ear about Sylvia Browne, for when they need a new target.

They're actually doing some protests in my area next weekend, I think I might go with a camera (And some koolaid packets if I feel mischievous...)

They started it: Fair Game (Scientology)

A war between 4chan and Scientology? Oh man...

 

[suomynonA]

4chan? What are you talking about? This is clearly an eBaums world thing.

 

[Wildy]

If people are claiming 4chan and you are claiming eBaum then the answer is obvious.

eBaumsworld has stolen the war from 4chan.

Vigilantism in the pursuit of ridding the world of anuses is no crime!!!

Oh - in that case ...

 

[Nogbad]

Oh - in that case ...

I don't know why but I have an urge to say to them you can both stand in the corner until you are prepared to be nice.

I think I am turning into a grumpy old man

 

[PixyMisa]

Stand in a corner?! We're talking smash-hit reality TV here!

 

[PixyMisa]

Well, for a very unusual definition of "reality".

 

[Drudgewire]

Stupid thread topic. It hadn't dawned on me there was a chan association. Now it's a lot harder to root against the scientologists.

 

[Wildy]

You'll live.

In my case I heard that ED was doing something in relation to this as well.

After discussing it the official Uncyc stance is that we are neutral (or that we support them and oppose them or we don't support them and we don't oppose them) except that since ED used it to insult us so we might be against them.

Either way I'll probably go into the city on the 10^th and see if anonymous go through with their physical protest.

Way to go Anonymous!

They got the wrong guy and now he's getting obscene and threatening calls and they posted his wife's SSN on the web.
