  • theAlice, on 02/10/2008, -33/+274We need to Digg this to over 9000!
    • Alegoo92, on 02/10/2008, -10/+2try getting to 1 first.
    • parkermauney, on 02/10/2008, -4/+13Why is it that every time an anon story is dugg everyone starts trying to restate every meme ever made?

      Most of them would get eaten alive on 4chan.
    • jrak, on 02/10/2008, -22/+11Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

      Digg me down. I don't like Scientology. But isn't it interesting that the first amendment gives us freedom of assembly AND religion? Lets not use one to attack the other. Instead of scapegoating weird organizations, why don't we organize and elect leaders that will protect our rights? Just an idea.
      • cmccool, on 02/10/2008, -19/+9i totally agree. this hits remarkably close to home because i am at a debate tournament at the university of texas at austin, and as we went out to eat tonight my group passed a church of scientology. i couldn't help but immediately think of "anonymous" and the blatant "persecution" they are suffering from this internet "crusade." can someone point me to some literature that indicates why scientology is so dangerous or why they should be hated this much? i totally, and unashamedly, plead ignorance on this one.
      • Icyfenix, on 02/10/2008, -1/+18But
        It's not a religion.
        It's a corporation that destroys the lives of all those who dwell within this misbegotten faith.
        They CHARGE their members THOUSANDS of dollars to learn the secrets of the church.
        This LEGALLY defines it as a cult.
        It's a cult.
        An evil, evil cult.

        Listen, I've never had a cause I could do anything about before.
        Hacking and computers is all I know, but I don't know enough to do enough damage to political organizations or people that have their fingers in everything.
        All anyone ever wants to do is protest during the hours I work, or go fly somewhere far away where I can't go. I don't have the money or the time to make a difference in any of these other causes.
        But I can help this one. And I believe in it.
        • OpaqueMurdock, on 02/10/2008, -9/+1Icyfenix,
          Respectfully, I would suggest that many many currently tolerated religious organizations take enormous amounts of money every day and make equally unprovable promises. The only difference is that the religions they claim to represent were founded eons ago as opposed to a few decades. It might be useful to remember that most religions start out being considered unusual by the mainstream.

          I am no fan of these people, their tactics, or their secretive ways but Jrak makes good points which are surprisingly underrepresented on Digg and on the web in general.
      • smacksaw, on 02/10/2008, -3/+12Just because you can quote the 1st Amendment doesn't mean you understand it.
        • jrak, on 02/10/2008, -6/+3Thats not a counter-argument. You've added nothing to the discussion.
      • smacksaw, on 02/10/2008, -1/+6There is no discussion. Your example brings nothing to intelligent debate. You are talking about free exchange of ideas and gov't protection of freedom in regards to something ($cientology) that is proprietary, litigious and infringes upon civil liberties.

        I am certain you are a $cientologist trying to post here and sound legitimate but you are a SP to the US Constitution, human rights and liberty.
      • FatLoser, on 02/10/2008, -7/+2DIGG THIS ***** DOWN HE IS QUOTING THE DEVIL'S BOOK OR SOME SUCH NONSENSE. HE'S A WITCH!!

        My friend, despite Digg's self-proclaimed libertarianism, you will find that they are in actuality simple self-serving individuals like any other. They don't see the hypocrisy here.
        • smacksaw, on 02/10/2008, -2/+3Libertarianism is about free speech.

          You cannot be like the Co$ and wrap yourself in the 1st Amendment and use it to suppress free speech and freedom of expression.

          Perhaps you're the one missing the hypocrisy...or promoting it.
      • CCricers, on 02/11/2008, -0/+0Scientology cult members have allowed many people of their faith to die, for the purposes of their cult. They mistreat the mentally ill, they drug and kidnap people who try to leave the cult, and they refuse to seek medical attention for their members in lieu of their own procedures, usually resulting in death. The are guilty of many human rights violations, and therefore a breach of US law. Would Congress consider this legal?

        This is different from the other side most people take. No sane person wishes all Scientologists to be killed, they just want the cult to be systematically dismantled.
    • lukee, on 02/10/2008, -11/+1Over 9000? I've never seen a digg count that high!
    • neptunebk, on 02/10/2008, -1/+6What 9000?
    • bludo, on 02/10/2008, -2/+8The problem is that the submissions with the protest reviews are being buried by the scientologists.

    • quomen, on 02/10/2008, -2/+3Im just curious, but how much progress has been made?
    • JettaMan, on 02/10/2008, -9/+11What the ***** was that? It sounded like some sort of Commie music in the background. The letter sounded psychotic - a battle? Weapons? You people are delusional. Scientology is not the great fight of our time. Fighting big government, statists and collectivists is the biggest battle in front of us. Scientologists are a small outnumbered insignificant minority.
      • Ellipsys, on 02/10/2008, -0/+9Someone didn't study his history if he didn't recognize that speech. It is clearly satire of Dwight D. Eisenhower's speech before D-Day invasion during World War 2.
      • Yoshi39, on 02/10/2008, -0/+6The song was the national anthem of the soviet union
      • theodenking, on 02/10/2008, -0/+3*woosh*
      • VinceNoir, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1How does it feel to make an ass of yourself on Digg? Probably not unfamiliar for you, is it? From the sound of your comment, I suspect you're a raving lunatic libertarian or conservative (not much difference except for pot smoking). You're living proof that people who take the conservative or libertarian viewpoint are not well educated.
    • Vektuz, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2This is funny because its a parody of what the scientology inventor L.Ron posts in front of his "religeous training courses"
    • sjl127, on 02/10/2008, -1/+2Did they have to use the ex Soviet Union anthem?
    • themastersb, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1Someohow I got an email addressed to anonymous by anonymous without providing anyone my email with detailed instructions for protesting on Sunday.
      • andafrouse, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2It's prolly from CoSplay, the googlemap thingey
  • Scalene17, on 02/10/2008, -15/+112DUGG FOR GREAT JUSTICE.

    Let us get ready for this great battle against Scientology!
    • Revolution101, on 02/10/2008, -4/+13here we come.
      hope to see a lot of anon at austin protest tomorrow.

      we have already won.
    • eFiniTi, on 02/10/2008, -11/+18Maybe this will get people one step closer towards the realization that all organized religions are stupid.
      • 10GunSalute, on 02/10/2008, -1/+8You're missing the point
        • FatLoser, on 02/10/2008, -9/+3Yeah, clearly the CoS is different, and much worse than the others. I mean, it's not like any of the others waged crusades, condoned massacres, or were complicit to such atrocities as those committed by the NAZIs. Clearly what the CoS has done is much worse!! Oh Goodwin, you silly goose.
    • prisoner24601, on 02/10/2008, -1/+46END THEIR TAX EXEMPTION!
      Anyone can believe ANYTHING they want to, freedom of religion is absolute, but any religion that copyrights their "scriptures" should be automatically rejected by the IRS as a tax-exempt organization.

      I, an adamant Christian, would be the first in line to SUPPORT an "atheist church" if they appealed to the IRS for tax exempt status. Imagine that a group of atheists were so focused on their beliefs they wanted to hire Dawkins to be their "pastor" and literally employ him full-time to "preach" atheism. Would that disturb me? Sure. Would their beliefs repulse me? Absolutely. Should they be TAX EXEMPT? ABSOLUTLEY! Why? Because atheists, Muslims, Mormons, Buddhists, and every other major group will openly expose their "scriptures" and never hide them behind copyright law! They ALL will educate people without regard to ability to pay.

      If you *copyright* your doctrines you are still free to practice your "faith" but you should instantly lose the benefit of tax-exempt status. The IRS is far overdue to correct their capitulation to this cult in 1993!
    • GREEDOnvrFIRED, on 02/10/2008, -3/+17I have a better idea. Instead of fairness by providing tax exemption to all groups who fit the criteria, how about fairness via taking away tax exemption from all of these groups. Make money? pay taxes. Make money in the name of make believe? Pay taxes.
    • moush, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1I bet all of you are going to be outside tomorrow (well technically today now) protesting amirite? Oh wait, i bet there will be 2 people outside total, the rest will be inside looking for videos.

    • Alegoo92, on 02/10/2008, -29/+11Anonymous, you remind me more of Scientology than anything.
      And once again, the sinister overtone to the way Anonymous members talk is not only ludicrously annoying, but also compliments your portrayal as a group of internet nerds with balls of steel when no one can see them but fat losers in the light.
      If I see any Anonymous protests: I look forward to raining on your parade!
      • kevdude421, on 02/10/2008, -4/+13Die in a fire.

      • smacksaw, on 02/10/2008, -2/+4Yeah *****, that's the point. To treat Scientology the way they treat others.

    • Alexwo1, on 02/10/2008, -3/+3You need to get a ***** life and a clue to whats going on. You think saying quotes dramatically as if it should be in some movie makes you badass. like your leading men into battle with your keyboard. It really makes you look like a ***** loser. And what the ***** do you do in your spare time?-jack off to lord of the rings or V for Vendetta or something.
    • claytorris, on 02/10/2008, -3/+0So now we know what you are, and what you do not do. Here is a list of what you are not and what you do:

      - Wank to CP and tentacle rape
      - Live in a basement (probably your mom's)
      - Think you are in Fight Club - Rule 1 and 2 you unoriginal fags
      - Crumble into a ball of shame and pussy when in a real fight, internet toughguys
      - Too gay to know everyone would be behind you if the majority of you would stop being complete ***** douchebags and saying retarded ***** like this

      Go back to the chan's you bunch of ***** queers
      • Alexwo1, on 02/10/2008, -0/+0haha word
        • claytorris, on 02/18/2008, -0/+0stop posting the same comment to every Scientology thread douche.
  • jazzjeff, on 02/10/2008, -4/+13Irish Biggins wishes the rest of the world protesters "Good Luck".
  • diggitny, on 02/10/2008, -6/+95The diggtologists have disappeared more postings today just before they his the front page. What gives?

    Watch Scientologists "handle" an SP (suppressive person) who shows up to their party. "What are your crimes? Murder, perhaps!" Great stuff: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pPol_m8wm8Y
    • ScaredOfTheMan, on 02/10/2008, -0/+35Holy ***** man! "what are your crimes?" "Did you take time off from beating your wife to come down here?" "right now your like nothing" "why you afraid of hubard?"

      No wonder they don't like Psychiatrists
    • bumblefoot, on 02/10/2008, -0/+15classic intimidation techniques shown there, get up in his face, keep asking the same questions over and over, trying to get a rise out of the "SP" and the whole petty insults too.

      Scientology is a cult and should be defined as such by the governments of the world so the laws safe guarding churches and more to the point the tax breaks are no longer applicable to them.
    • GeorgeStone2, on 02/10/2008, -17/+5Why wont people from 4chan understand.
      There are no "Diggtologists".
      Just people sick of 50 million spam Co$ articles on the front page.
      And because of your numbers you can get anything you want to the front page. And you do.
      You game the system, and I don't like that.

      I didn't mind when you did it for important info. But you dugg ***** to the front page.
      So yeah. Buried as spam.

  • michaelfitz, on 02/10/2008, -13/+94Soldiers, Citizens and Hackers of the Anonymous Expeditionary Force!

    You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many days. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the Scientology war machine, the elimination of RTC's tyranny over the oppressed peoples of the internet, and security for ourselves in a free world.

    Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.

    But this is the year 2008! Much has happened since the Cults triumphs of 1993. The brave S.P.s have inflicted upon the Cult great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our latest offensive has seriously reduced their strength online and their capacity to wage war in the tubes. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men and women. The tide has turned! The free Anonymous of the world are marching together to Victory!

    I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!

    Good luck! And let us beseech the blessings of the world upon this great and noble undertaking. -Anonymous
    • Alegoo92, on 02/10/2008, -17/+7most of you will, in reality, go about your daily business. Then you'll find the updates on Digg which has been tragically hijacked by Anonymous, type in short sentences to remind me that you are a legion and have a good memory, etc, and then it'll be Monday and no one will care.
      • jblack15, on 02/10/2008, -3/+8I'm glad you feel proud for living like that. If everyone thought like that, nothing would change.
        • Alegoo92, on 02/10/2008, -1/+8That's actually true. But I don't think Anonymous in particular is achieving anything. They seem more like a mischievous group of unorganized kids. What I think would make sense goes more along with Mark Bunker's idea of using politicians rather than Scientological ways of slander/libel to hurt them.

        Shut your trap!
        • Fartag, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1The thread heading message was probably overly blunt, but spreading rationality far and wide, correcting the inaccurate, using logic and reason and encouraging it in others seems like a clear noble cause! On the other hand, promoting a single methodology as truth which substitutes for a moral core and basis of thought based on absolutely no evidence (none! seriously!) seems like exactly the opposite.

          Some techniques (found in many religious teachings, no surprise!) to cultivate beliefs when no evidence is present:
          Repetition, early indoctrination, early subversion of logical reasoning, claiming credit for morality that is simply commonly accepted through socially evolved means, throwing in incredible fear by making things like eternal damnation hinge on belief, and add guilt (and more damnation) for all deviation from the teachings of the particular church, add salvation hinging on following it and spreading it. Can you believe the nightmares some kids are being taught as truth these days? And how this can cause absolute irrational realignment of psychology?

          Again, absolutely _nothing_ suggests the validity of any one of the thousands of religions and alternate forms on the planet over another.
          But teaching of a particular one often continues children until much later in their lives. The amount of psychological damage and mental impairment that wouldn't otherwise be there would be considered outright child abuse if it weren't common and commonly believed in our culture.

          If a religion is too innocuous, it simply wouldn't have the bite, the sting, to be able to concern people enough to spread it.

      Anonymous and their childish war games are ridiculous. These guys are nothing but pathetic little nerds that were ignored as child, and now they want to be noticed. You start a "war" against some random church like it was some kind of threat. Let them fools pay for their beliefs. It's not your problem. If you really, really need your "crusade", fight for a real cause, like stopping the spammers. Spammers will eventually kill the interwebs, and it's everyone's problem.

      Anon, and all Anon followers: Stop being so god damn ridiculous, grow up and do something that matters. Only powerhungry people who completely lack real power have silly campaigns like this. People.... just look at this madness, listen to yourselves...

      We are Anonymous, We are Legion, We do not forgive, We do not forget... that cracks me up everytime.
      • CCricers, on 02/11/2008, -0/+1Scientologists try to spread their religion under the pretense that everyone is out to stop them. I think it's working out for both Anon. and Scientologists, in an ironic fashion.

      • Hayaemsay, on 02/10/2008, -1/+2To be fair, Anonymous is the name of the group organizing the protests.
    • mcduckov, on 02/10/2008, -4/+3I dunno, some pretty impressive lulz were had when newsweek quoted the "at least 9000" meme. The people attacking the CoS may not have a clue about anon but they do know how to provide lulz (a corruption of LOL, by the way). See, that just made me lol. At least on the lulz vector this is win.

    • FoxOrian, on 02/10/2008, -0/+6But you're not taking into consideration the exposure of Scientology for what it is and why it must be stopped. Educating the people is the first step.

  • daEvan, on 02/10/2008, -8/+19This is the eve before Scientology's destruction...
    • widman, on 02/10/2008, -1/+8More like the eve of validated protests against a crazy sect. They have a lot of money and a vast empire. They won't go down with just a punch.
      • ElBeh, on 02/10/2008, -1/+4This is the internet; anything can happen.
      • daEvan, on 02/10/2008, -1/+5I totally agree with you. But "Scientology's destruction" sounded better than "we go protest them".

        In any case, Scientology is gay.
      • heystoopid, on 02/10/2008, -0/+1But then imagine what billion paper cuts would do given that what is now happening to the 419ers these days !

  • TheAmbushAhead, on 02/10/2008, -2/+44I love the use of the USSR national anthem (1977 Red Army Choir edition.) And yes, I recognized that off the top of my head. Kinda pathetic...
    • Kronos6948, on 02/10/2008, -1/+9I don't know what's worse....recognizing the anthem or recognizing it because I remember it from Rocky 4?
    • Midtowner, on 02/10/2008, -0/+6Next to Finlandia, it's my favorite national anthem. It was a really well engineered national anthem -- really easy to sing, unlike the American one. How's that for off topic? Sergei Prokofiev wrote it, btw. Oh.. and to hell with Scientology.
    • Ellipsys, on 02/10/2008, -0/+6One of my favorite anthems as well. Strong, powerful, and well sung. I like the Japanese one as well, but for totally different reasons (its brevity is amazing for what it represents)

  • johnamus, on 02/10/2008, -12/+30If you read about Scientology you will notice that their writings instill a belief in their members that the world is out to destroy their "religion". Scientology cult members use this as a motivation to spread their beliefs against a perceived widespread persecution. I will probably be dug down for sayng the following, but to me this whole "anonymous" campaign reeks of an inside job. They use scientologist terms such as SP and they market themselves as a naziish, self described expeditionary force. This would in and of itself turn off people who know nothing about what they stand for.

    When it comes to cult recruiting, bad press is better than no press since the targeted audience is a little kooky or depressed and has the propensity to side with the guys who are facing the attacks. If not an inside job, anonymous is doing more harm than good, people don't join a cult due to a well reasoned decision, so exposing the farce of scientology by showcasing the lack of logic that it entails will do nothing but advertise this "religion" to people whom have never heard of it before.
    • Ivthypain, on 02/10/2008, -6/+6You've been sleeping under a rock.
    • hikaruzero, on 02/10/2008, -6/+19>> They use scientologist terms such as SP and they market themselves as a naziish, self described expeditionary force.

      And the scientologists use internet terms like "hacker." This is a war fool, and the first rule of war is *know thy foe*. How could Anon be justified in his war if he did not even know anything about the enemy? Secondly, just because a side declares itself righteous doesn't mean it's "nazi-ish" by any means, Anonymous does not FORCE people into joining its campaign. Unlike Scientology, Anonymous does not enslave people to work 12 hours a day 7 days a week to live in cramped dorms and get paid $50 an hour, like Lisa McPherson (who DIED under "care" by the CoS) and Jennifer Stewart (who was RAPED by a chief superviser of Scientology).

      >> This would in and of itself turn off people who know nothing about what they stand for.

      That's why *you* are turned off, *you* know nothing about the good that Anonymous is doing, nor the evil committed by Scientology. So do yourself a favour, search Google for "scientology victims," or look up some Anonymous pages to find the REAL reasons why the collective Internet community is fighting back against a tyrant.

      >> If not an inside job, anonymous is doing more harm than good, people don't join a cult due to a well reasoned decision, so exposing the farce of scientology by showcasing the lack of logic that it entails will do nothing but advertise this "religion" to people whom have never heard of it before.

      Again you clearly fail to understand the goal of Anonymous. Anonymous WANTS you to know about Scientology. They WANT you to know names of victims like Lisa McPhearson. They WANT you to know the logical reasons why Scientology should be obliterated. Anonymous is getting to you with good logic and correct reasoning first, before Scientology has the chance to play its hand of corrupted practices and demands of "faith." Just look at Tom Cruise! The man *believes* he is the only one who can help at the scene of a car accident! THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGY DOES TO YOU. Scientology is like a virus. If you have never been exposed to the virus then you are most succeptible to catching it. Anonymous' goal is to let the world know, to IMMUNIZE the world and stamp the virus out.
      • johnamus, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2>>Again you clearly fail to understand the goal of Anonymous

        You fail to see the point of my post, and that is to question the credibility of anonymous's campaign.
        You seem to think that writing about the evils of scientology brings credence to your argument that I am ignorant of a "war" that is going on. Yes it is terrible that cultists are working long hours in cramped dorms and that people have died and been raped in the name of this cult. I am apalled by these travesties, but my post had nothing to do with the horrors of scientology, or any cult for that matter. Just because I did not post "Yeah Anon is roxers 11111 top 733t" does not mean that I am ignorant, Please critique me all you want, but keep it on point.
      • rorykinnear, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2seriously man, "this is a war" what did your mom take away world of warcraft?? Its a stupid church that makes no difference to anyone who is not willingly a part of it, get off your horse and stop living life like an RPG.
    • Midtowner, on 02/10/2008, -2/+3The target audience of these protests isn't really the scientologists themselves. When folks are in a cult like that, they'll generally only get out when they have their own internal personal revelations. What these protests will do, however, is help to starve this cult of new membership, its life blood.

    • smacksaw, on 02/10/2008, -2/+3Yeah...I don't think you really know what you're talking about. Asking Anon to stir up patriotism in $cientologists is like asking the fox to supervise the hens in the henhouse laying eggs.

      $cientology is serious business. Anon is about the lulz. You can't make someone stop when you have everything to lose and nothing to gain against a person who even if they lose gets a good laugh.
    • joshtj, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2The isolated atmosphere of scientology, (and most fanatical religions), also have the flip side of making it seem exclusive and special, and it's members superior to other people, but this is nothing new.

      They can believe the world is out to get them, but if we present information, at least they're given a choice to believe in dogma or fact. It is their right to choose after all.
    • tacodealer, on 02/10/2008, -0/+0I neither agree nor disagree. I dug you up simply because you didn't misspell anything and your grammar usage was above average (which is typically low on digg anyway, but credit where credit is due).
    • bonk2k, on 02/10/2008, -0/+2I'm glad someone at least raised the idea of an inside job. While it's really interesting, it's untrue. If this attack by anon is false then the starter of it would have to be a scientologist that was also savvy to 4chan memes. You don't just go onto 4chan and say stuff like, "Hello guys my name is Jerry. Would you guys like to help me start a revolution?"
  • yodug007, on 02/10/2008, -27/+22stop force feeding this garbage down my throat.

        Despite all this hullabaloo, Scientology is no closer to death today than it was a year ago because rational people don't spend their days obsessing over the absurd religious beliefs of others.
        • charlie55, on 02/10/2008, -3/+3and if they obsess over other people's ridiculous religions, they obsess over other religions, like islam, which is causing crazy world conflict. scientology is causing nothing, except some goofy tom cruise quotes.
