We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget.info http://apcmag.com/7905/anonymous_threatens_to_dismantle_church_of_scientology_via_internet A hacking group calling itself "Anonymous" has posted a chilling video on the internet, announcing that it plans to "dismantle" the Church of Scientology. Wired.com reports that Anonymous has flooded Scientology servers with a distributed denial of service attack, is choking the Church's phone lines with prank calls and sending looped faxes of solid black pages. "Over the years, we have been watching you -- your campaigns, your suppression of dissent, your litigious nature. All of these things have caught our eye," a synthesized voice on the video tells "leaders of Scientology". "Anonymous has therefore decided your organisation should be destroyed, for the good of your followers, for the good of mankind and for our own enjoyment." "We shall systematically expel you from the internet and proceed to dismantle the Church of Scientology in its current form." "You have nowhere to hide, because we are everywhere. You will find no recourse in attack, because for each of us that falls, 10 more will take his place." The Church of Scientology is regularly in the news for its beliefs and high profile celebrity spokespeople and fundraising activities. It was recently in the public eye after a leaked video of Tom Cruise hit the internet (watch it here), showing Cruise saying that Scientologists would be the only ones who could help at the scene of a car crash; that Scientologists were the world's authority on reforming criminals and getting people off drugs, and other claims. The threat from "Anonymous" appears to be have been prompted by this video, which is specifically named at the beginning of the clip. The video can be viewed here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KZWoGX1cb8 All started with the video of tom crazy cruise going blah blah about the cult http://defamer.com/344987/the-tom-cruise-indoctrination-video-scientologists-dont-want-you-to-seeWe are Anonymous.

We areI've had some first hand experience of these people when I lived in LA. I know someone that has been with them for a long time and it started because he was a drug addict and they have well developed programs to help people with addiction problems. If that was all they did it would be fine, indeed, laudable, but they also prey on the weak minded, sucking them in through these programs. I can't condone the way that this group want to bring them down but they are a cult and cults are always dangerous. I just get the feeling that if tology were to be destroyed there would very quickly be something else.

Yes. Look at the Branch Davidians and the Heaven's Gate wackos some years back. Just to name a pair.

It's a shame some people are too screwed up to think for themselves.

But to more effectively tie up a phone line try sending a gradient image. Large black sections can be sent fairly rapidly, but thousands of little dots making up a gradient takes much longer.

A loop of paper will tie the phone indefinitely. Solid black will waste much more ink per page, and since sending faster will waste more pages the effect is muiltipled even farther.
