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.

Starting on 16th and culminating on the 18th of January Scientology websites began to experience heavy DDoS, and Gigaloader attacks. Many Scientology call centers were treated to the music of Rick Astley and a great number of pizzas and taxis were mistakenly ordered for Scientology buildings around the world.


I have never been so proud to be a child of the digital age.

Oh, they did. Though I can't imagine who would have the attention span to.
