Peaceful protest isn’t terrorism.

Scientology vs. The Man? Nah, that re-framing isn’t going to work, Larry.

L. Ron never cured insanity. Anonymous isn’t funded by big pharma. Scientology isn’t compatible with other religions, and it certainly isn’t part of the pillar holding up society. Nice try, though.

To put it in perspective..it is not a war between anonymous and Scientology.
It is a war between the vested interests Ie. psychiatry, big pharma, and several other sources of income…mostly our tax dollars– to put down an upstart church that just happens to have the 21 st century answer to mental health.
Psychiatry in 100 years has never come up with a solution to insanity, in less than 10 years L Ron Hubbard was curing it. He understood the concept that the hardware (body) is working fine, adding drugs or harming it does not give a cure. The thing he did was understand the (software) or mind if you will and provided the key to understanding it. It is all history now, millions have been helped.
But along the way there were malcontents (you cannot enforce a cure on anyone) they left and were picked up by the vested interests. They were paid and continue to be paid to help attack Scientology.
The only result of this will be more enslavement of the public and loss of rights. Scientology has stood by other religions, individuals and organizations trying to make a difference in this world. Attacking them will remove the pillar that is holding all that up. Then where will we be..they have been helping for 60 years unbeknownst to the average guy.
I feel that the edge of sanity has been reached and no good will come of this.

No, I’m not kidding. Additionally, I wouldn’t frame it the way you did. Copyright infringement wouldn’t in and of itself constitute terrorism, but I believe a prolonged, distributed attempt to ruin an organization constitutes terrorism, if not the individual tactics.

This thread is well over a year old and some of my opinions have changed, but I think a lot of the assertions I made in the OP have held up.

The post two post above this one may hold water with respect to it being morally right to release the copyrighted material (at least I believe it’s morally justified). Looking at the bigger picture of the OP, I think I was pretty dead-on. People are still talking about Anonymous vs. Scientology as a significant development and significant event.

Terrorism?

Are you kidding?

Do you honestly feel that hacking a website and copyright infringement qualify as terror?

I really don’t think that the DDoS attacks are terrorism. They’re more like a digital sit-in. Seriously, that’s exactly what they are.

The whole DDoS thing has been done with for over a weeks now. Now we’re taking to the streets in preparation for a long drawn-out war.

The copyrighted material shouldn’t be copyrighted anyway…so releasing it may be legally wrong, but it’s morally right.

Should have also mentioned, the interview was between the 7 and 8 o’clock hours… it’s a 5 hour morning show, so I didn’t want you to have to listen to the whole thing

Hey Tom, yes, sorry, should’ve posted that… it was KROQ (www.kroq.com). Go to the Kevin & Bean page and you can download the podcast from the 28th.

I agree Tom,

This is history. It is impossible to decipher the deluge of information as we stand in the middle.
But it is terrifying and exciting at the same time.
I also agree with you about the mix of morals. Just by posting this I am in some way supporting the it. And I think this all comes down to the might of Anonymous. Anonymous is the name given to the undeniable might of a trillion fold doubts. This is grass roots war. We will all play a part in the systematic deconstruction of the future and present SOC just by talking about it.
Sort of a tsunami. A natural force created by the global doubt we all have about an organisation that sells salvation.
