It would seem to most casual surfers of the Internet that the battle that once roared between The “Church” of Scientology and the group called “Anonymous” all but fizzled out. While Guy Fawkes mask-wearing protesters are still occasionally sighted outside of Dianetics centers, the oddly named group doesn’t make the major headlines anymore.
Clearly the higher-ups in Anonymous are worried that their movement may come to a halt. On August 1st, the powers that be issued another chilling video to their members, supporters, and the Internet at large, stating their new determination to:
“shift to more subtle and shocking tactics.”
While it had the same Anonymous “clouds and traffic overlay,” the video was a little longer and dealt with slightly more specific topics than some of the original releases.
Personally I’m a bit confused with their video. It’s very “rally the troops” but it lacks any real pith. If anything it seems to be suggesting that they are going to do things that will really disagree with their more fair weather supporters. Do they mean Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks? If so, that’s nothing new for them.
The video also seems to put down newer Anonymous members for being too wimpy. To make sure all their bases were covered, they issued a second video to the tune of:
“In any conflict of this magnitude every part plays a role. All Anonymous are welcome regardless of their origins, tactics, beliefs or reasons for their fight.”
“…every part plays a role?” You really can’t be too much more wishy-washy than that.
Here is the first video so you can form your own opinions (post them below):

Anonymous is usually quite forgetful, whenever they get bored of anything they toss it away. For many of them this project chanology was just a way to take their silly memes and stupidity to the mainstream media. They are a bunch of kids who like to be jerks taking advantage of the fact they are anonymous. C’mon, most of the people at 4chans are trolls with no lives of their own. I do agree that Scientology is rather dangerous but whatever these dumbasses do lacks credibility.
L. Ron Hubbard’s greatest secret is that he invented and seeded Anonymous to eventually become the ultimate antagonist of The Church of Scientology, ensuring lasting media attention for both parties, neither of which could achieve on it’s own…or did he?
P.S. John Travolta is Anonomously wrote this message and told me to pass it on. Honestly.
well anonymous may be a bunch of trolls but lets face it scientology specilises in trolling thats what they do best. fight fire with fire i say.
There is nothing confusing.
All options are on the table. As they should be.
Swarm Theory supports this new move.
-Not Anonymous.
“Higher ups in Anonymous” — LOL!
Scientology is organized crime.
