Scientology versus Anonymous: Cyber World War
“Anonymous”
While we go about our daily lives–surfing the web, using it to pay bills or catching up on the latest news and chatting with friends and family–little do we realize that just beneath the digital surface of the worldwide web, a war is being waged: the first Cyber World War, between a modern-day David versus Goliath.
Goliath is the Church of Scientology, a multi-billion dollar enterprise, who is being systematically unmasked by the group known as Anonymous, the modern day David.
Who is Anonymous and why did they declare war against the Church of Scientology?
Tom Cruise is perhaps the most famous Church of Scientology member on the planet. We mention planet because in the “Church” of Scientology, what we would consider science fiction, tales of intergalactic warfare and galaxies play a key role in the shrouded secret world of Scientology.
The origin of Scientology as a “religion” compared to other religions such as Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism is quite recent, founded by L. Ron Hubbard, a prolific science fiction writer in the early 1950’s. Hubbard’s Dianetics, a self-improvement book based on a mind-body-spirit relationship, was regarded in some circles as a scam and a “lunatic vision of Freudian psychology” while others believed it offered a new way to religious bliss.
Hubbard set up the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation in 1950 in New Jersey and then moved to Arizona in 1952 where Hubbard “expanded Dianetics” into Scientology, referring to it as an “applied religious philosophy”.
While some may be aware of Hubbard’s involvement in Scientology’s origins what they don’t know is how Scientology “works” as the group shrouds its “church” in secrecy. The secrecy may or may not be related to any sort of “religious” overtones, instead the secrecy may have been devised to cloak Scientology’s method of charging its flock quite a bit of money to learn its “secrets” in order to rise up in the rank and file of the “church”.
Piece by piece, his (Hubbard’s) teachings are revealed to church members through a progression of sometimes secret courses that take years to complete and cost tens of thousands of dollars. Out of a membership estimated by the church to be 6.5 million, only a tiny fraction have climbed to the upper reaches. In fact, according to a Scientology publication earlier this year, fewer than 900 members have completed the church’s highest course, nicknamed “Truth Revealed.”
Hubbard, now considered a prophet by Scientologists, incorporated science fiction with pop psychology into his “religion” and then charged members money to learn the “secrets”. Members who sought to rise in the ranks of Scientology had to pay for “courses” which revealed the religion’s deepest secrets. In 1990, the Los Angeles Times wrote of Scientology’s charging “advanced” church members, at least those who were willing and able to pony up the cash, the chance to be privy to a course called “Operating Thetan III” to the tune of $6000. The course supposedly taught “the final secret of the catastrophe that laid waste to this sector of the galaxy”.
The church has invented hundreds of goods and services for which members are urged to give “donations.” Are you having trouble “moving swiftly up the Bridge” — that is, advancing up the stepladder of en- lightenment? Then you can have your case reviewed for a mere $1,250 “donation.” Want to know “why a thetan hangs on to the physical universe?” Try 52 of Hubbard’s tape-recorded speeches from 1952, titled “Ron’s Philadelphia Doctorate Course Lectures,” for $2,525. Next: nine other series of the same sort. For the collector, gold-and-leather-bound editions of 22 of Hubbard’s books (and bookends) on subjects ranging from Scientology ethics to radiation can be had for just $1,900.

Scientology has remained reclusive and secretive. For the most part we believe because if exposed to the light of day, Hubbard’s prophesies border on the pulp science fiction ridiculous with claims that 75 million years ago a tyrant named Xenu ruled a Galactic Confederation in an alliance of 76 planets which included Earth which was known as Teegeeack. This is stuff that members such as movie star and producer Tom Cruise so fervently believe in.
Scientology has remained virtually unscathed by critics–until Anonymous.
Every mask you see is the face of a victim in whose place we stand to speak. It is the empty place where a life should be that is no more. It is the absence of a friend, a neighbor, a loved one. It is the missing critic, who cannot speak or show his face out of fear.
We are the faceless. We give voice to the voiceless. We step forward to speak for those who cannot.
For every voice silenced through criminal intimidation and the tactics of personal destruction, we step forward.
It’s ironic, that a “faceless, nameless, and leaderless group” connected by the world wide web would be the ones to openly “wage cyber war” on an organization that has fought to remain secretive. Much like a real life Spy versus Spy.
Anonymous formed on the internet, its members, many obviously highly intelligent but jaded and perhaps bored with the mundaneness of life, were sparked into action when a video of Tom Cruise, extolling the virtues of Scientology, was posted on Youtube. When Scientology threatened legal action and tried to get the video removed, a cold wind of ominous warning blew through the collective consciousness of Anonymous. Scientology had exposed itself as an organization who sought to silence Free Speech on the web. Anonymous was not amused.
Some call Anonymous internet vigilantes, a wild west cyber style group whose mission is to run Scientology out of credibility town by sundown. Critics of Anonymous claim religious persecution while Anonymous claims Scientology is a cult.
Definition of a cult:
A religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents Source: Merriam-Webster
From Characteristics Associated with Cultic Groups – Revised:
The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader and (whether he is alive or dead) regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as law.
L. Ron Hubbard’s dubious past has been scrubbed squeaky clean by Scientology. His belief system, ideology, and practices, at least those prescribed in Dianetics are considered law. Hubbard has been raised to prophet status within the “Church”.
Anonymous’ members have turned to peaceful protests in front of Scientology headquarters. One Anonymous poster in London, a 15-yr-old boy was given a criminal summons and had his sign taken away, the police claimed it contained language that was “abusive and insulting” to the “religion” of Scientology. DBKP wrote up this story, how the kid’s sign, “Scientology is a not a religion, it is a dangerous cult” raised the ire of the cops. It was discovered that the London police had an incestuous relationship with Scientology with free tickets to lavish banquets, how the Police Commissioner was invited to speak at the grand opening of the new Scientology center.
The kid was busted for calling Scientology a cult. The prosecutor’s office refused to press charges and it was revealed that Scientology has never received official recognition as a “religion” in the U.K..
Anonymous has become a proverbial thorn in the side of Scientology. Scientology claims persecution which is amusing since it was the cops who acted as agents of the “church” busting the kid for calling it a cult.
Anonymous plans more by way of protests and releasing information which reveals the inner workings of the “church”. Anonymous claims it has no desire to keep people from practicing Scientology, their battle is over censorship and the future plans of the “church”, which Anonymous claims, to eventually enslave the planet. Anonymous vows to continue their fight against the mighty Goliath of Scientology, by revealing documented information of how the organization “cloaks” itself as a religion.
DBKP will continue to follow the war that wages between the two groups. Anonymous says it’s fighting against censorship and the enslavement of Scientology’s members, while Scientology continues to remain secretive while spreading its tentacles in other countries across the globe. If Scientology is not a cult then it has nothing to hide.
An excerpt from the Anonymous Revolution:
The future belongs to those who prepare for it today. One hundred years from now, will the society we live in be crippled by the manacles of censorship and the chains of ignorance? One hundred years later, will your voice live on a lonely island of silence in the midst of a vast ocean of copyright content? One hundred years later, will the network we protect still be languishing in the corners of American hypocrisy?
So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition. A corporation that has the legal means to censor you, to censor the network, a corporation that abuses it’s members and uses the legal system not as a shield, but, as a weapon of terror.
While we surf the web–chat with friends, check the news, all those things we do on the Net we have no clue–there’s a war being waged on the digital battlefield of cyberspace.

Scientology a “multi-billion dollar enterprise”??? Wow, if nothing worse that’s an attempt to diminish the criminal activities of Anonymous against a religious minority and its members.

The next worldwide protest is on June 14th. If you are interested, go to Enturbulation.org to find a protest location near you. You can possibly interview some Anonymous to get a better understanding about this cyberwar.

The truth is a weapon only to the guilty. A lie is a very poor weapon because information will eventually reveal its true nature.
This is why Scientology will lose, every time.

While the membership estimated by the chirch is 6.5 million, census data puts the membership at somewhere between 50-100,000.
And I don’t care about censorship that much. It was the attempts by the church to erode freedom of speech by harassing critics (such as Paulette Cooper who was framed for making bomb threats by the church) which convinced me that Scientology must be stopped.
Google fair game and operation freakout.

Lu:(the first one) You and your ilk have more than once claimed to have a following of 10,000,000 Scientologists worldwide-yet you just now state that you are a ‘minority religion’??? Which IS it? It’s either one or the other; it can’t be both.
You have yet to present any solid evidence that Anonymous has knowingly and willfully broken the law. There is, however, substantial evidence connecting the COS to a shocking amount of criminal activity; much of it is public record and can be easily accessed by going to your local town hall, library or even by searching the internet.
In this day and age, if you accuse someone of criminal acts, then you better DAMN WELL have some proof to back it up.

Here are some juicey quotes from rulings pertaining to the above mentioned criminal activity. Around the globe
“Scientology is evil; its techniques are evil; its practice is a serious threat to the community, medically, morally, and socially; and its adherents are sadly deluded and often mentally ill… (Scientology is) the world’s largest organization of unqualified persons engaged in the practice of dangerous techniques which masquerade as mental therapy.”
–Justice Anderson, Supreme Court of Victoria, Australia
This one is part of a Federal Indictment against Scientology for Conspiracy against the Federal Government of the United States
“The crime committed by these defendants is of a breadth and scope previously unheard of. No building, office, desk, or file was safe from their snooping and prying. No individual or organization was free from their despicable conspiratorial minds. The tools of their trade were miniature transmitters, lock picks, secret codes, forged credentials and any other device they found necessary to carry out their conspiratorial schemes.”
–Federal prosecutor’s memorandum to the judge urging stiff jail sentences for 9 top leaders of Scientology who had pleaded guilty to criminal charges
The court record is] replete with evidence [that Scientology] is nothing in reality but a vast enterprise to extract the maximum amount of money from its adepts by pseudo scientific theories… and to exercise a kind of blackmail against persons who do not wish to continue with their sect…. The organization clearly is schizophrenic and paranoid, and this bizarre combination seems to be a reflection of its founder, L.Ron Hubbard.”
–Judge Breckenridge, Los Angeles Superior Court

Good to see more of the press and the blog scene tuning into this battle. So far it has been epic and we have learned a lot in this. While some say this started as just a prank, it has grown into a movement. We have seen the true face of evil in Scientology. The scientologists claim that there is no fair game or harassment of critics. We have hundreds of videos proving otherwise. The evil that L. Ron Hubbard started will die and one of the more horrendous blights birthed by the 20th century will be swept away by the newly energized and engaged and connected youth of the 21st century.

Wake up America! The cult of Scientology has bled it dry long enough
Have you heard of Waco Texas? Sure you have. But have you heard of Operation Snow White and Operation Freakout? Nope, and I’ll tell you why. Our government and our media is AFRAID of Scientology. They might throw a bone now and then and make fun of Tom Cruise but they won’t talk about the important things, how Scientology destroys families, abuses children, infiltrates governments, ruins anyone who dares speak against Scientology.
America will never again be worthy of criticizing another’s track records on human and civil rights if we DO NOT rid ourselves of the Church of Scientology and our endorsement of them through tax exempt privileges that NO OTHER RELIGIOUS GROUP gets.

Excellent article. Adding fuel to the fire, I want to add a segment from one of L. Ron’s poems, “Hymn of Asia”.
“I can be addressed
“But in our temples best
“Address me and you address
“Lord Buddha.
“Address Lord Buddha
“And you then address
“Metteyya.”
‘Metteyya’ is another name for Buddha, and means, “He Whose Name is Kindness”. Perhaps this is why the Cult of Scientology compares L. Ron to Buddha in their orientation video…

Scientology likes to claim it has 6-8 million or more followers in the United States alone. You know another group that likes to do that? CAIR, which likes to inflate the number of Muslims in the US.
Anyway, great article. Please check out Enturbulation.org to find a protest location near you, if you are so interested LBG1.
One minor quibble though: Criticism of Scientology on the internet is nothing new. It started back in 1995 when the cult of Scientology raided the homes of ex Scientologists Arnie Lerma, Lawrence Wollersheim, Dennis Erlich, and Bob Penny for posting the Fishman affadavit, which contains the top secret Xenu story. Shortly afterwards, a man named Bob Minton came onto the scene. Minton helped form the Lisa McPherson Trust, which helped many Scientologists get out of the cult. He and so many others over the years have been brave enough to show their faces, and they paved the way for Anonymous to fight the cult of Scientology. Google their names to find out more. This fight has been going on longer than 2008.

Interesting article, if a bit dramatic – definitely conveys the nature of the struggle. I also find it interesting that the first emergent group consciousnesses from the Internet to take mass action in the real world has chosen Scientology for one of its first targets.
The internet, as a set of technical protocols for communication, was designed to and always has routed around damage as a fluid response to blockages and outages. The internet, manifesting as a conscious entity in the form of this anonymous collective, seems to view malicious damage as not only something to be routed around, but also regards the agents of such damage as sources to be actively opposed and eliminated.
This is consistent with the nature of an entity which exists entirely as a flow of information – the Internet. Any stoppage of that flow is attempted to be repaired and avoided (any entity healing an illness or injury does this), and any intentional stoppage of that flow (censorship) is regarded as a an injury – potentially a deadly injury. After all, if the entity is information flow, censorship is a threat to its life.
We saw the anonymous collective of internet users do this repeatedly in response to censorship, actively battling against attempts by the DMCA, RIAA, and the host of anti-peer-sharing attacks. In those cases, the response to the entirely digital threat was executed digitally – by routing around the damage and publicizing suppressed information. The threat to free information flow from Scientology is not digital, however. It is a threat rooted in intimidation and legal harassment and real-world terrorism. In order to respond, the internet needed to find (or create) a response in the real world.
This anonymous collective appears to be the manifestation of a distributed entity, the personification of the internet. It is a very interesting phenomenon, indeed.

Good article very well written. Bonus points for the research.

Excellent article, but it should be noted that Anonymous not only protests because of Scientologies stated aim to rule this world (or this sector of the galaxy to be precise) but also because of the abuses it inflicts on members. Examples are legion, but I list some recent news clips below. Everything can be easily verified with a Google search.
December 2007: Dutch hitman Jesse R. (last name is not given per local custom, but Google is friendly) is arrested for at least 6 murders. During police interiogations it becomes clear took inspiration from Scientology and donated the proceeds of his assasinations towards them. Though there is no indication that Scientology members were assecory to the murders, Scientology ’scriptures’ are filled with dozens of quotes which show disrespect for human life: ‘You can get away with murder as long you are upstat [red. bring in money]‘, ‘These are men dead because they attacked us’, ‘Rather be dead than a bad Scientologist.’
January 2008: A French women called Boublil is abducted by her Scientology brother and held hostage on Sardine for several weeks in appalable conditions before she is able to throw an SOS sign in the neighbors’ garden. The French Scientologists misapplied what is called the ‘introspection rundown’, a dangerous Scientology procedure involving completely isolating a person who is (supposedly) in a pyschosis. In an almost identical incident in the late ’80s a lady called Lisa McPherson died.
February 2008: Belgian officials raid the Scientology office. The raid is the culmination of a nine year investigation into the practices of the cult in Belgium. Charges, including fraud and extortion, were formerly brought upon 12 members in April.
March 2008: Norwegian girl Kaja Bordewich Ballo commits suicide after taking the ‘free stress test’. The ‘test’ is used to recruit people into Scientology. It only has negative outcomes (you are depressed, insecure etc) on the result sheet, whilst positive equivalents do not appear. This way, they hope to get under your skin so that you’ll take Scientology courses. After filling in the ’stress test’ Kaja watched a recruitment video in which it is suggested she might as well commit suicide if one doens’t not join Scientology (I really wish I was joking here, but sadly enough it is true).
April 2008: Jenny Miscaviage, the niece of the cult’s current authoritarian leader David Miscaviage tells about child labor and disconnection on ABC’s Nightline.
May 2008: Dutch Antilles’ officials seal the Scientology ship Freewinds after blue asbestos is found, the most dangerous kind. It is well documented (google Freewinds Woodcraft) that 21 Years ago church senior management was duly notified of the asbestos but refused to take action, exposing their members for decades.
That’s only five months worth of news and there has been a steady stream of this for 50 years now. US Officials insist on playing the ‘Religious freedom card’ rather than investigate Scientologies’ many instances of braking laws and abusing members. Ask yourself, do you agree?
Anonymous is a group of people that feels the free people of the West should not allow this cancerous organization to exist. We protest anonymous, not to be initimidating, but because of the ‘fair game’ practices that Scientology inflicts upon its critics: ‘If possible, of course, he [red a critc of the cult] should be uttery destroyed’.
But fear not, whilst they have lies, we have caek and lulz. Join us at enturbulation.org.

Excellent article. While Mark/Lu(the first one) didn’t like it, I thought it was an insightful and interesting discussion – thank you very much for writing it.
I must point out one sentence – “Scientology has remained virtually unscathed by critics–until Anonymous.” While Anonymous has multiplied the damage factor by over 9000, the Old Guard of dedicated critics laid down the foundations for the current resistance, and their efforts should not be downplayed. Without their harrowing personal stories and archives of documents and evidence I may never have learned the disturbingly dark side of the sci-fi cult.

I am ashamed to be one of the many people clapping fanatically in the leaked video of David Miscavige, where he implies that all psychiatrists have to be eradicated.
I am ashamed that I say that CCHR believes in human rights, when my own church has its own internal prison camp of People Who Know Too Much.
I am ashamed that my own church claims we have freedoms, when we are limited by what we are allowed to say or do.
I am ashamed that my own leader, David Miscavige, lies on national TV about the disconnection practice that members all know to be the truth.
I am ashamed that we call ourselves the most ethical people on this earth, when our own brand of thugs (OSA) lie, steal, cheat, intimidate, and even cause people to commit suicide to get our way.
But most of all, I am ashamed to be a Scientologist.

I’m sorry, I’m just a massive hag who hasn’t gotten laid in years because if I do and I get pregnant, OSA will make me leave the Sea Org or get an abortion and I don’t want that on my conscience.

The crimes of anonymous….. oh yeah!!!! the stuff you have been throwing on all your anti protest propaganda! The stuff the FBI investiated and proved there in that no link existed. Opps, maybe scientology’s osa stooges are a little slow on the uptake, or maybe they are desperately holding onto their only card, even though its full of holes, in the desperate hope no one will have seen the video that BLOWS your accusations against protesters from the water.

oops, i linked the video.
The crimes of scientology however get added to by the day.
Have fun locking people in a room in a t shirt with no bed or bathroom made to live in their own filth. The rest of the public however are not so impressed with kidnapping a woman and doing this to them for months. Watch this great subtitled documentary from france, straight off the proverbial presses, which not only reports on this incident but also grabs a copy of the church doctrine that explains the blatantly illegal procedure detail for detail, the introspection rundown. Then watch the head of COS france squirm.
http://www.vimeo.com/1011175
This horiffic act of imprisonment and mental abuse is what scientology does when it sees a pts type 3 (nervous breakdown to you and me), and these are the guys that want to destroy and replace psychiatry, because its evil and dangerous to peoples spiritual health…….
Ask me to pick between some hot chick asking me questions about my mother and the introspection rundown, i will take the shrink thanks.

Lu, it’s hard to discern your word salad– the COS fails and refuses to properly educate its child labor staff, so they grow up writing like you do. This is only one reason why Anonymous is winning this war.
And of course, the COS is a billion dollar industry. Indeed, they own over a billion in real estate alone. “Celebrity centers” in every major city in the world, as just one example. Thus, your inference is a flat out lie. That’s another reason why Anonymous is winning. They tell the truth, while the COS must lie. It must always lie because it is a brainwashing, bait and switch pyramid scheme. Must always practice deception to keep the game going. Lu, so yourself a favor, just once, google “scientology” and see the horrid truth for yourself. And by the way, LRH was a wanton drug addict and the autopsy reports establish he was shooting up vistirol– a psych medication– prior to his death.

Well Lu, at least you are being honest about your “religion’s” intent.
The proper term however is “disposed of quietly, without pity.” This is from Keeping Scientology Working or “KSW.” When Tom Cruise says ” I knew this was exactly it!” he was referring to KSW. If the thought of “quietly disposing” of “suppressive people” (those who do not like Scientology) does not send shivers up your spine you must already be dead, or a Scinetologist!
If being a suppressive person is about being against mass murder and for freedom of speech than I am proud to be one of Scientology’s SPs.
Lu, Mark? I hope you can get out soon, you will have some fascinating stories and meet many new and interesting people.

Scientologists actually do believe Anonymous is an organisation that is out to harm them and attack their faith, because that is what they have been told by people they trust. Mais non, mon ami! If you seek information, do not seek it from the person or organisation that stands to make money from your ignorance.
Anonymous are advocates for freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of information, and just plain freedom. You have every right to believe whatever you want. Is that lamp post a deity? Cool, ok. But don’t you dare hunt down, hurt, threaten or kill anyone who begs to differ. Google: Fair Game Policy. The Church of Scientology does exactly those things to their critics.
Scientology’s secrecy is not for the protection of its members. You won’t die for reading OT3 before you’ve paid for it. Just ask any GP or medical professional if you have a doubt. The secrecy stems from a business model. A money-making business model.
If you ask a Christian, a Muslim or a Jew to tell you about their religion, they will tell you everything about it. Their doctrines are free and they are happy to share. In many cases, they won’t shut up about it. Fair enough though. But the point is, Scientologists are the victims of a huge and deadly cult.
Protest the Corporation of Scientology on June 14. Free the victims and make the criminal leaders accountable. Find your local June 14 protest right here.

Lu, it’s time to open your eyes and see the truth like I did.
“multi-billion dollar enterprise” is very likely true. We have a cruise ship (though it’s currently condemned since the port authority found deadly blue asbestos in the ventilation system), real estate around the world (though its mostly sitting empty or unfinished – like our super power building in Clearwater).
We are certainly a minority – if I multiply the few people I see at my local org by the total number of orgs in the world, I arrive at a number far far less then the 8-10 million people we are told. Heck, the IAS ball last weekend only had a handful of people at it. I’d estimate we have less then 20000 people left, and they’re leaving fast. I can’t remember the last time I saw my friends Marty Rathbun and Mike Rinder. I think they blew.
It’s the ‘religion’ part I am questioning these days. I’ve never seen a religious leader lean in close to someone and say “I smell pussy”, but Reverend John Carmichael, head of the NYC Org, is on youtube doing just that. I don’t know, I guess maybe Reverend Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptists might do something like that, but he’s pretty badly brainwashed by the R6 implant. Like Karin Pouw at the CC said, Jesus is a figment of the imagination.
What if we’ve been wrong all along, and LRH really was a lying con-man? The thing is, if you look at scientology from the perspective of that doubt, it all suddenly makes crystal clear sense. The writings of LRH: have you noticed how similar his scripture is to his fiction? I don’t know if you’ve passed the wall of fire yet (though I’ve heard people are being word cleared for some of that now), but there is a novelette LRH wrote in 1975 that really bridges his science fiction with OT III. You can find it on wikileaks, though they call it a screenplay.
I wasted decades of my life believing in a sham, and I’m still trying to come to grips with that. Please, Lu, don’t throw any more of your life away on the con. Look at the information the critics are presenting with an open mind. Remember, our leaders will do anything to KSW – our motivation to lie is built into that doc. Is the critic’s motivation really money from the psychs? Or is that story just KSW?

Great article, LBG. It looks like you’ve done some homework.
The fact that you’ve attracted the attention of OSA (and our good friend “Jakob K. Reist” – who likes to masquerade as Epic Nose Guy nowadays – Keep attention whoring, Vigil) means you’re now a part of this internet war, whether you like it or not.
Fortunately, the Co$ is limited in the actions it can take toward “Fair Gaming” (that’s what they used to call their systematic harassment and slander of critics) nowadays, mainly because Anonymous will publicize whatever they do. But that doesn’t mean they won’t try to damage your credibility or make your life miserable. Keep your eyes open.
I recommend interested parties visit http://www.whyaretheydead.net/ to find out about the mysterious deaths that the CoS is involved with. They’re more than a secretive, greedy, criminal organization with a UFO cult as a cover. They are responsible for quite a few deaths.
You’ve already joined the fight. Please keep doing what you’re doing – shining the light on the cult. Visit enturbulation.org if you’re interested in joining the protests. But most of all, keep doing what you’re doing, for free speech, and for the service of truth. Thanks.
