Anonymous declares War on Scientology
Yep, that's right. It seems that Tom Cruise's googly moogly brainwashing video and it's subsequent removal from the net bunched up anonymous' panties. So it's war! They have named their movement "Project Chanology" and you can read all the sordid details on Encyclopedia Dramatica and The Insurgent Wiki and read what anonymous is up to on the discuss boards ED and IW.

So far, the plan of attack is a massive barrage of Denial of Service attacks that have been unleashed upon various scientology sites. It seems that one website, Religiousfreedomwatch.org (currently down), has offered a reward for various participants.

The Project Chanologists want the word out. They've created a video of intent that has been dugg nearly 5,000 times . News of the hacking of some top secret Scientology documents has been dug over 3,000 times. They've even put out a Press Release. Project Chanology wants you to spread the word of anonymous.

So far, few sites have picked up on it. A few that have taken notice are The Budapest Times, Wikinews, Gawker, and USAtoday.com.

Even the cute little denizens of Gaia are going at it but oh noes! dissenters!

Overall, it's pretty amusing. I'm sure I'm not the only one that wonders if this “hacktivism” can really bring down the “Church” of Scientology. After all, let's face it, Anonymous has way more free time on its hands than Scientology has money, lawyers, and movie stars put together.

Edit: Insugent Wiki links are currently being redirected to ebausmworld. =/ All better.

Oh god, this will be the Interweb War to end all wars. So if all the other websites such as 4chan, SA, Gaia, etc have joined in the fight, does that make F_W the determined reporter on the front lines?

I hope so. As long as the server is robust.

Oh god. I HATE that song. I went through all the strikethrough nonsense before I could see the movie, and thanks to the retards using that as their banner, I winced every time that tune was so much as hummed in the movie. The whole movie was tainted by Strikethrough retardedness.

The ironic thing is that, when I saw the movie, I saw it in Japanese. So I have no idea what the lyrics to that song were.

That's the most entertaining film Tom Cruise has ever starred in. God, those random bursts of laughter are so infectious, I can't stop giggling.

Over on the Insurgency Wiki they have a list of phone numbers for Scientology centers.

The one listed for Orange County is apparently wrong.

"Orange County: XXX-XXX-XXXX <-- Wrong? It's some guy's house, got REALLY angry."

Poor guy. I can't help laughing.

It's even hit Dutch news websites, and apparently Anonymous is also targeting the company that provides the security for the Scientology website still on-line.
