< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Scientologists Bring in Fed Big Boys to Squash Internet Attacks
SCIENTOLOGY NO. 2 Cruise (Photo: Getty Images) Disparate individuals working under the banner of "Anonymous" initially congregated on the online collaborative community 4chan (a description of the group, its motives, and its goals can now be found here). Their efforts to draw attention to the Church's "campaigns of misinformation" and tendency to suppress dissent have generally been successful: The first coordinated raid against the COS, a denial of service attack, crashed the Church's website. Anonymous members subsequently bombarded the Church with calls in order to tie up phone lines, sent "black faxes" to waste ink, and also "Google bombed" the Church by tying the word "Scientology" to such nefarious terms as "dangerous" and "cult" in order to skewer search results. A complete rundown of the attack, dubbed "Project Chanology," can be found here. On the site, February 10 is cited as the day of reckoning for Scientologists. According to our source, the Church is arguing that such attacks on their physical plant and website constitute "illegal interference with business." The CoS is also said to be playing up its nominal role as a religious organization in order to claim that efforts to disrupt its operations are a violation of the Church's First Amendment rights, and thus technically constitute hate crimes. Initial attempts by authorities in Los Angeles to track the IP addresses used by some of the pranksters have allegedly been successful. Calls to the U.S. Attorney General's office in L.A., the LAPD, and the FBI, however, have not yet been returned.

Posted by: luana on January 28, 2008 5:05 PM Advertisement Scientology's call of the Feds to suppress Anonymous is equivalent to a drug dealer calling the cops because someone burnt down their meth lab. Posted by: XenuChan on January 29, 2008 9:55 AM Their actions speak for themselves. The "church" of $cientology cited "illegal interference with BUSINESS" while also trying to push for "hate crime" charges. In Israel they openly call themselves a business, and words such as "Scientology" are under copywrite (are Christianity, Jesus Christ, Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, Hasidism, Muhammed etc. under copywrite?)Meanwhile, they hired mercenary hackers/Scientologist agents as a front group "The Regime" fired off hacker attacks (obviously illegal) against their opposition. This should make it clear to everyone that they're absolutely ruthless and willing to use any and all tools available to destroy dissent. Posted by: AnonymousFREENET on February 2, 2008 8:33 PM I have this to say about that, I used to wonder what Cruise's problem was, but now I know. Also, in other Scientology news, they basically got thrown out of Germany. Most Interesting. Turns out they were accused of breaking into offices and all kind of Other Stuff.
