- ValiantReaper, on 04/06/2008, -0/+17Fair Game lives on!
- dedalb, on 04/06/2008, -0/+10Uhm, lets keep our terminology consistent. This is not "Fair Game", this is their attempt to suppress freedom of speech. It's also an attempt to squash FAIR USE of their secret documents. The typical example is
Critic A says to scientologist : Your church believes you are infested with dead space aliens"
Scientologist says : That's a lie. There's no evidence of that.
Critic A: Well I have your secret church document here that plainly states it.
Scientologist : AHA got you buddy, I'm suing you for 250,000 for copyright infringement.

Digg it for the love of God. - Anonakitty, on 04/06/2008, -0/+14Is there anything left this cult dosn't try to sue?
- huffadopolis, on 04/06/2008, -0/+7this only proves that all the people that deny xenu and OTIII are dirty liars, because they can't claim copyright if it isn't the official documents penned by hubbard himself
- Karai, on 04/06/2008, -1/+13I lol'd, and dugg. Silly fools.
- Anonymous1331, on 04/06/2008, -0/+11This is the reason Chanology started. An oppressive religious cult does not have the right to censor the internet!
- huffadopolis, on 04/06/2008, -1/+11can't stop the truth you crazy cult
- picaflor999, on 04/06/2008, -1/+12MARCABIA CONQUERS ALL. Get used to it, cult. It's over.
- MikeMcG, on 04/06/2008, -0/+6No one screws with the 4th. We mean business.
- ANonHubbard, on 04/06/2008, -0/+4Or 5th.

- no12u, on 04/06/2008, -0/+17Think about this for a second people...The Co$ would sue each and every one of us, you and me, for using our free speech and speaking out against the atrocious behavior and general bad practices of Scientology, if they knew who we were and how to get at us. They would find out all they can about you and if they find nothing, invent something about you to discredit you and ruin your life. They have to. It's their policy written in L Ron Hubbard's hand. Good luck Wikilinks!
Awareness is spreading.- KirbyMeister, on 04/07/2008, -0/+3Fortunatly, it's impossible to fool all of the people all of the time - eventually they will piss off so many people that their actions will become self-evident in due time. Information spreads throughout the social network irregardless of the supressive persons known as the Cult of Scientlology.
The only thing we haven't done is get on national news - and that is key. The People are much more inclined to believe information from a central, pre-chewed information source than the raw information given by the social network.

- bnightm, on 04/06/2008, -1/+10I find it hilarious that they would actually claim ownership of something as insane as that pdf on "OT levels".
- NamelessEnvoy, on 04/06/2008, -0/+15Good game, Church of Scientology.
This strategy epic-failed the first time you tried it in the late 90s. Now that the internet has a dedicated site to doing the sort of stuff you hate, you resort to the same fear and litigation tactics again?
Scientology has fought the law (and lawl) and the law (and lawl) won. Wikileaks has fought the law, and Wikileaks won. What makes you think, Scientology, that YOU are more dangerous than US gov'ts?
In any case, good game, Scientology. Now the whole WORLD is seeing the ridiculousness of your "religion". Salvation cannot be copyrighted.- KirbyMeister, on 04/07/2008, -0/+4Actually, the scilons managed to sue the IRS into submission, launching over 2,000 to 3,000 lawsuits against them in a period of about 10 to 20 years. This is why they have extremely generous tax exemptions. They practically own Clearwater, FL. While they are currently unable to take over the national government it is only a matter of time and money (from their followers) until they accomplish their stated goal of "Clearing the world": the sabotage and hostile takeover of all major national governments.
- addikt, on 04/06/2008, -1/+9***** scientology!
well good luck you bunch of crazy people, you will never take down the decentralised beast that is wikileaks, not even your god from the volanco could take down wikileaks!!!!
wikileaks!!!- KirbyMeister, on 04/07/2008, -0/+1Actually, their volcano god is their equivilant to Satan.
- junotucson, on 04/06/2008, -0/+9So...Xenu, huh?
Way to keep yourself from acknowledging the whole space opera thing, Co$. Thumbs up. - nonnyOh, on 04/06/2008, -0/+7wikileaks, pull a gawker pls!!!111oneone!!11
Down with censorship! Knowledge is free! - houstonrally, on 04/06/2008, -0/+6this only proves that all the people that deny xenu and OTIII are dirty liars, because they can't claim copyright if it isn't the official documents penned by hubbard himself
- MomAnon21008, on 04/06/2008, -0/+9If CoS is going to take over entire towns, like Clearwater, and sections of L.A., (L. Ron Hubbard Way, anyone?), they'd better be willing to have their "faith" scrutinized and examined. It's not right for them to get religious tax exemption without the public really knowing what they believe, and what they're working toward. Citizens have an interest in knowing exactly what these people are doing, why, and how.
Let 'em sue -- society has a RIGHT to know what this shady group is up to. - JackBiller, on 04/06/2008, -0/+4http://www.wirah.com/en/events - Anonymous Events

"Wikileaks will not comply with legally abusive requests from Scientology any more than Wikileaks has complied with similar demands from Swiss banks, Russian off-shore stem cell centers, former African Kleptocrats, or the Pentagon. Wikileaks will remain a place where people of the world may safely expose injustice and corruption," stated Wikileaks in a statement on their website.
Wikileaks further states that "in response to the attempted suppression, Wikileaks will release several thousand pages of Scientology material next week."- ANonHubbard, on 04/06/2008, -0/+4Beautiful article. Of course, a Scilon is trying to delete it calling it "persecution".
- DarkANon, on 04/07/2008, -0/+4They keep doing this ***** over and over again, oh man, they are digging their own grave this way.
Well I'm not going to complain >:3 - DNAnon, on 04/07/2008, -0/+4Gogo Wikileaks!
- DNAnon, on 04/07/2008, -0/+3Whoops, forgot the link in my comment
