Scientology vs Anon

[disasterrrrrrrrr]

Scientology pisses me off immensely. Theres a group that goes by Anonymous that plans on taking them down. I will be rather happy if this plan comes to fruition.

Introduction

The current ddos attack strategy will only be effective for a few days at best. As a result, many anons came together last night to discuss possible ways of hurting the Church of Scientology from a long term perspective.

The problem with the ddos attack is that the attack itself can simply be solved by adding more servers. As we all know, Scientology has a huge amount of resources. If we are to be truly effective at fighting CoS - we'll need to look at IRL methods.

Possible battle strategies

Fight the Suppression of Information

Fight the CoS PR machine by outmaneuvering them. Publicize their secrets so that popular culture uses the info against them. The CoS look like a bunch of fools when they attempt to suppress information.

Online

Spread the CoS's "religious texts". Use torrent sites such as Piratebay, Mininova, etc. Upload documents to google, yahoo or microsoft and other large tech portals. Save evidence as photos or ZIPs and upload to tinypic, imageshack, mediafire/rapidshare, etc.

Information was meant to be free. When presented correctly, it catches like wildfire and cannot be stopped. Accompany docs and videos with "Copyrighted content shared under USC.107, Fair Use." If CoS tries to hide this info from public view, they'll end up looking like even more like a religion full of crackpots.

If CoS goes after Pirate Bay or any other popular website, it will anger an even larger portion of the online community.

Offline

Go to the forums.

Hand out flyers near CoS locations. Conduct the same disinformation campaigns they do. Plaster over their signs with your signs. Avoid outright vandalism, graffiti and destruction, because that alienates the public and hurts our credibility.

Send anon-reviewed press releases to local media. Hand them a story that demands a rebuttal, such as "allegedly responsible for the deaths of 5 former members" or "secretive organization angers YouTube viewers." Include solid, cited evidence (which Scientology can't provide.) Read Wikipedia and Operation Clambake publicly-verifiable information such as court hearings, etc.

The Law is on Their Side, but not Everywhere

This doesn't make them right. Scientology has been denied tax exempt status in many nations including Belgium, Russia, Canada, Greece, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Support and Publicize Scientology's Victims

A big problem right now is Scientology's suppression organization. It is essential that we form a support organization to help those that Scientology goes after. We need to make it safe for those who criticize Scientology to continue doing so.

We all know CoS has a large legal team, so it'll important for us to focus on small battles at first. CoS routinely goes after small fish in the sea in an effort to protect their organization. If we form a support structure to defend these individuals, we can chew at CoS's resources and win easy victories.

CoS routinely engages in behavior which is considered harassment under US law. It would be easy for us to fund a small legal battle which could in turn fund a chain of further civil lawsuits against CoS. This could be comparable to how big tobacco was taken down.

Find Public Figures

As the movement begins to mature, it'll be necessary to find people who are willing to publicly stand up to Scientology. Preferably, these will be from those who have already spoken out (professors, lawyers, etc). This is necessary in order to legitimize the movement.

There are already many public figures and groups that should be considered allies. Anon should reach out to them, explain what's going on and how each could assist the other. Anon could be an important source of support for public facing groups, helping to raise funds, publicize events, get media attention, do research or surveillance, or offer technical support. In return the groups can offer Anon another avenue to the media, public and current and ex scientologists that may be more approachable for some.

There should at least be a list.

Get Media to Report and Expose Scientology

A big problem right now is that whenever the media attempts to report on Scientology, Scientology sends out it's harassment and legal squads to go after the news organizations involved. In most cases, news organizations cave in.

We need to prevent this from happening. We need to signal to the media that caving into CoS is unacceptable.

Watch the Watchers

Once it is safe to do so, willing insurgents should take their video cameras to the large Orgs and film at and around the buildings. The orgs are notorious for shadowing anyone suspicious nearby, and a bold move like this may likely provoke an interesting response from Org security personnel which would make a fantastic addition to the Youtube videos. One suggestion would be to use a buddy system: one person carrying a regular video camera (poorly concealed to attract attention), with another person using a smaller camera or simple cell phone camera to record the org's response.

Example: hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLZJBdvqAv8

War of Words

When spreading information regarding Scientology, avoid including religion/church, as not to validate the claims of the Scientology Organization.

Also be careful in calling the CoS a cult. One of their best defenses against opponents is to accuse them of intolerance. Make sure that you back up your statements with evidence that shows that their organization is anything but benign.

Dissemination of Information to the General Public

Not everyone has the internet and those who do may not be exposed to this movement. Anonymous should consider printing copies of the so called secret documents and leave them in high traffic public places such as Starbucks and McDonalds, leave them haphazardly. Also burn CDs with the various documents and information to leave sitting about, curiosity will do the rest of the work. Make sure to include a page of links to relevant information such as the digest of digg.com links and links to xenu.net with the documents.

Film Boycotts

A perfectly legal and easy way to avoid inadvertently funding the Church is to boycott the films which involved known members. Encourage others to do the same.

Legal Means

If we really want to hurt CoS, we will have to engage them legally. We all know CoS has a large legal team, so it'll important for us to focus on small battles at first. CoS routinely goes after small fish in the sea in an effort to protect their organization. If we form a support structure to defend these individuals, we can chew at CoS's resources and win easy victories.

CoS routinely engages in behavior which is considered harassment under US law. It would be easy for us to fund a small legal battle which could in turn fund a chain of further civil lawsuits against CoS. This could be comparable to how big tobacco was taken down.

Recruit the Christians

Most of us dont like Christians much, but they do have a very capable information dissemination capability and influential leaders. Their strengths overlap our weaknesses - while we struggle to gain influence offline, they control so much power they can control even the law-making process. Their help would be invaluable, and for once we have a common cause. Inform Christian leaders - not just the big celebrities, but one-church pastors too - about the dangers of Scientology. Stress its anti-family tendencies, its abuse of followers. Make it clear that though their symbol looks like a crucifix they have no Christian influences at all. If we can get the Christians on our side, thats a major victory, for we will have gained a powerful ally.

I have no idea what responses this forum will bring because i rarely lurk outside of superfashion.

[disasterrrrrrrrr]

Maybe point out that Scientology is anti-Christian:

"For those of you whose Christian toes I may have stepped on, let me take the opportunity to disabuse you of some lovely myths. For instance, the historic Jesus was not nearly the sainted figure has been made out to be. In addition to being a lover of young boys and men, he was given to uncontrollable bursts of temper and hatred that belied the general message of love, understanding and other typical Marcab PR."

See OTVIII - Hubbard claims Jesus was a pedophile from here and discussed on digg

Documentary videos

Videos such as this one- hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPol_m8wm8Y help show the true face of Scientology. The camera man let himself be put into quite a scary situation. If I was him I'd have been shitting bricks. We can counteract their videos of lies by showing the truth. If you do make these videos DO NOT goad or taunt the CoS members in any way. Let the world see how they behave in the face of calm reason and peacefull rationality. And don't do it alone. Make sure you have some sort of backup, so if the shit hits the fan you have a witness and someone else who can call the police.

Make it Easy

Most people involved in the movement sit in front of their computers all day. I'm sorry to say it, but it's true. We need to come up with ways which make it extremely easy to contribute. Here are a few suggestions

Letters to Congress

Petitions

Poll Spamming<-----This is what scientology does

Distribute fliers in the neighborhoods of known Scientologists with information regarding the organization to create social paranoia. Stick to the War of Words, do not scare away potential allies by forcing information down their throat.

Iowa, your Senator Grassley has a long history of launching congressional investigations into non-profits with tax-exempt status who he believes to be exploiting said status. Send him mail urging him to investigate the Church of Scientology. Concentrate on its financial success as a non-profit and the way it exploits its members for every cent.

Newbies, like myself, need a clear and concise overview with suggestions on how to get involved and contribute. Not all sympathizers are naive and best used as cannon fodder or CoS bait. This will be especially true for real life operations in areas where the core Anons don't have a presence.

From the Inside

Scientology is effective at controlling information available to the public through litigious (and other unsavory) means, but it is even better at controlling information to those already lured into its clutches. Any success in cracking this shield WILL yield benefits.

For this facet, intimidation and harassment are not helpful; education is.

Contact scientologists via email, snail mail, flyering, or any other conceivable method with the TRUTH! Objective, verifiable information disseminated to those on the inside may help break up the ranks.

Focus

As an outsider, one of the first things I notice is the extremely large number of targets: websites, phone numbers, fax machines, email addresses, businesses, etc. I'm sure that being able to raid as many targets as possible simultaneously is a great benefit of the crowd/mob organization of Anon, it is much less effective than a more focused approach.

Take phone lines and prank calls for example. If the goal of the prank calls is to slightly annoy, or even amuse, CoS operators, then the current approach is appropriate. However if the goal is to truly disrupt CoS operations, then the lines need to be tied up at all times. This may be happening in some cases already (if so, it should be publicized), but with so many targets it probably requires an absolutely massive number of calls to tie them up 24/7, or even during business hours.

It would be a good strategy to identify the most important targets and bottlenecks and focus energy to completely shut them down. Since I know nothing about the CoS organization and operations, I can't suggest specifics. Possibly Anon could choose to tie up just the phone lines in LA and NY for example, but really shut them down.

Who is Anonymous?!?!?!?

[artificialsky]

You could have simplified everyone's lives by just saying "4chan is trying to raid Scientology." and then linked here

Of course, you'd still need a late pass because everyone on the internets already knows this.

On the other hand, I did think this was kinda cool:

anon hasn't really done anything epic yet.

lots of ddos, prank calls, black faxes, etc.

if you really want to follow it, read http://www.partyvan.info/index.php/Project_Chanology for the lulz.

in similar hacker news, someone released a 16+ gb file of private myspace photos onto torrents, proving that myspace still hasn't closed all of the loopholes.

^^ Yeah I remember seeing that a while ago. isn't it kinda freaky how that guy sorta looks like Tom Cruise? I wish the reporter they hired to cover the story was a lot smarter/more clever, cause he made himself look really bad a lot of the time.

i disagree, i dont think there's a whole lot you can do when dealing with someone who acts like a petulant child with his fingers in his ears.

True, but it would be funny to see them argue with someone witty and quick thinking like Colbert or Stewart. Man I'd love to see that.

Does anyone else think the church is actually a front to funnel money and avoid taxes? It's something I thought for a while, but I never fleshed out a full theory. It's just something I thought would make sense as to why there are so many freaking celebrity scientologist (the rich stay rich) and why they are so aggresive in not being exposed.

It's pretty well established that it's largely about the money, and that this fact plays a lot into why there are so many high-profile celebrity converts.
