  • Mohdoo, on 01/24/2008, -2/+242You can't sue Anon. You can't see Anon. You can't touch Anon. But you feel the pain of Anon.

  • fogus, on 01/24/2008, -6/+189Lets do it. Cults are wrong.
  • blizzok, on 01/24/2008, -0/+109It's amazing how quickly this video has spread. Just a few days ago I saw it in our main IRC channel, and I didn't think much of it. Now it's the number one result on youtub in a search for Scientology, and all over Digg. Good job, men. Good job.

  • nuclearpotato31, on 01/24/2008, -0/+64Scientology isn't stupidity, it's a carefully calculated system designed to mentally abuse and extort it's members.
  • magicaltrevor, on 01/24/2008, -1/+64In related news, Scientology just bought curtains.
  • suburbanWMD, on 01/24/2008, -3/+60Hackers on Steroids.
  • Branbot, on 01/24/2008, -1/+57I'm a recovering Catholic, heh, As much as I dislike the Catholic Church, they dont DEMAND you sign a contract giving all your money and belongings to their cause. When the Catholic Church goes to a third world country they provide food and a bible. When Scientology goes to a third world country they wave food in front of you and force you to sign a contract for it. I may not like organized religion but it has done good in this world along with the bad but Catholicism should never be compared to those Scientology sick ***** that run a sad excuse for what they call a religion.
  • TopherT, on 01/24/2008, -0/+51Where do I sign up?
  • aliengoods, on 01/24/2008, -4/+53This is stunning news! I'm surprised this hasn't been posted on Digg before.
  • Katana314, on 01/24/2008, -1/+37LET'S DO IT FOR THE LULZ.
  • Identity4, on 01/24/2008, -0/+34Nah..this is more like the story of the foolish cult wandering into the lair of a sleeping bear and poking it...only its not actually a bear, but the hairy bear-shaped wart on the face a 40 story tall kill hungry fanged superbeast with laserbeam eyes and machinegun fingers...
  • roosterjm2k2, on 01/24/2008, -0/+33Its the classic David vs Goliath....except this time, the good guy (Anon) is Goliath....Scientology just doesn't realize that yet.
  • dupswapdrop, on 01/24/2008, -3/+35Go Go Go!
  • spyd3rweb, on 01/24/2008, -2/+33All I see coming out of this is some legislation requiring everyone to identify themselves before using a computer.
  • DGRP, on 01/24/2008, -7/+37INTERNET HATE MACHINE
  • Cheesehead9805, on 01/24/2008, -2/+32Go "Anonymous" Go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • themarq, on 01/24/2008, -0/+24So you're either a Scientoligist or a humorless tightass. Either way no wants to hear what you have to say.
  • ApokalypseNow, on 01/24/2008, -0/+24They can't infiltrate Anonymous because Anonymous has no infrastructure to penetrate. It is a mob of individuals acting on their own initiative, guided only by what they think will be funny. As long as Scientology continues to be the object of scorn, attacking them will remain funny.
    There are no "members" of Anonymous - anyone who thinks there is has missed the point. Heck, even calling Anonymous a "group" is a misnomer. Anyone who perpetrates an attack like this without taking credit, for no other reason than the humor value, even if they have never HEARD of Anonymous is as much an Anonymous as any self-proclaimed Anonymous - maybe more.
  • inactive, on 01/24/2008, -15/+38While I do believe scientology is pretty retarded, what's the point of this? You can't really destroy stupidity.
  • inactive, on 01/24/2008, -0/+23The Trademark Notice from scientology.org's homepage is now missing (in addition to their pages loading very slow).
  • sw33tsarin, on 01/24/2008, -0/+23I was wondering how long it would take for this to reach digg, ANON put that vid up a few days. I expect this to be absolutely hilarious.
  • Jandels, on 01/24/2008, -0/+22Even your username is in ALLCAPS.

    Fail.
  • Monstradamus, on 01/24/2008, -4/+26This just in: A group of young computer enthusiasts found dead in what appears to be a mass suicide! Grape Flavor-Aide reportedly found at the scene.
  • mshea093, on 01/24/2008, -7/+28Make sure you grab the dugg Doxx files, 70mb of crazyness!

  • bejayel, on 01/24/2008, -1/+16My buddy has been searching for AGES. These guys literaly "dont exist" :(. Maybe you just declare yourself a part of them and do something to help the progression of their current onslaught?
  • directrix13, on 01/24/2008, -1/+15They don't realize they will kill Goliath?
  • PhantomPhoenix, on 01/24/2008, -1/+15Deep...
  • bagboyrebel, on 01/24/2008, -0/+13Don't know who anonymous is? Lucky bastard.
  • Chrontius, on 01/24/2008, -1/+14Anonymous is not a "hacking group" - Anonymous is the sum total of internet-using humanity who understand the fundamental truth that ***Internet communication is anonymous*** and take advantage of this fact. They laugh, they hate, they hold strong opinions about things they do not understand, and occasionally, things they *do* - like the cult of scientology. No one person, no inner circle, made the decision to start this most epic of /i/nvasions -- the sentiment reached critical mass, and then someone posted the video. All that pent-up potential energy, potential *damage*, then was set in motion like an avalanche. You know what the scary thing is? There's a fair amount of black-hat and gray-hat talent among Anonymous.

    Anonymous will prevail.
    Anonymous is legion.

  • killerknives, on 01/24/2008, -0/+12It isn't their stupidity that is upsetting, it is their censorship of anyone who opposes them, it is the horrible things they do to their followers (bankrupting them, killing them).
  • inactive, on 01/24/2008, -0/+12I SUGGEST YOU JUST GTFO PLEASE.
  • dedelman912, on 01/24/2008, -0/+11more power to you anon!

  • combatchuck, on 01/24/2008, -1/+12Anon always delivers.
