Eternally Grateful for Anonymous

[Quietheart]

I just want to thank everyone, so here goes:
To the OG, you guys set th bar really high and I know I've learned a lot from you and continue to do so. You give so much to everyone and I really appreciate it.
To all the ex's, you give me inspiration no matter how bad I feel I can log on and y'all make me smile, laugh, cry and feel human and worthy.
To all the Anons, you give me hope, lots of laughs, knowledge and inspiration.
Thank you all for all that you do!
Anyone in the Memphis area ever wanna buddy up just let me know.

Bravery is not doing a scary thing without fear, bravery is doing what you feel is right despite the fear.

thats one of the worst things about these cults: the way they make people
think of themselves as small and insignificant.

look at how far you have come, at what you have survived.

you a tough cookie for doing what you did, dont let any1 ever tell u different.

anyways, i joined anonymous for mostly the same reasons as most others i guess.
im very frustrated with the many ills of society wich i can do nothing about,
and here i see something that combines alot of those things into a single
concept that is actualy vulnerable to such a degree that we can do something about it.

a million people came out worldwide to protest the irak war, it achieved nothing.
10.000 people come out to protest CoS, and it shakes its foundation to
the core.

here is an evil we actualy can fight and achieve something that real people
actualy benifit from.

"the highest ideal is to serve"

but if that wasnt enuff i am fascinated with anonymous in its own right.
here we have a group that expresses a multitude of concepts that are
either to be considered new or so incredibly conservative that it would
scare the living hell out of any streight conservative.

we have the masks and our online anonimity to not only hide us from the CoS, but also it provides a form of equality not otherwise possible.
just because u dont know who your talking to, there is no other way to
deal with any given situation then to approach every other anon as an absolute equal.

and so we have a group with no name, no face, no voice, and yet we are strong.

and we are not strong in the classical masculine sense: the ability to dominate and destroy.
this is a much more feminine, creative power.
We do have confrontational situations here and there, but on the whole
mostly what we do is spread info, and actualy reach out to connect with people, instead of working against people.
u can see this especialy in the way anons relate to cops.
only after the cops in Boston etc went way over the line was there any
hostility against the cops, and even then it was minor.
we know that these are not our enimies, and we should be working with them, and even a confrontation like that doesnt distract us from our main purpose.
and in places like Amsterdam where the cops are being cool, we are actualy styarting to develop a kind of relationship with the local cops there.
there getting to know us a little and becoming more confortable with the masks and they seem to think were allright.

i mean thats a kind of positivity you dont see much in groups that
were born to oppose a thing.
in fact i dont think ive ever seen anything like that ever.

the way i see it this stuff is going to end up in a history book or at least some psychology book at some point, and i just gotta be a part of it.

30 years from now ill be sitting on some porch surrounded by kids showing my mask and telling tall tales of how i was there when the shit went down..

You know I've been caught up with anonymous for a coupla years now, I wouldn't say I'm an oldfag since my sporadic involvement leaves me with the need to usually lurk moar but I never thought for a moment that any of this would happen.

Anonymous has always and will always be the infamous "Internet Hate Machine", the nerdiest jocks on the internet who's greatest strength wasn't in anonimity thanks to proxies but thanks to the sheer numbers it could call upon for graet justice. Anonymous was the definition of a rampant mob, our actions are directly related to the intellegence of the dumbest member in our midst.

Anon got into the Church of Stealingtology because they annoyed a handful of anons with the flagrant abuse of the legal system in regards to the Propaganda video. The results are what you see before you today. It is however wise to note that Anon got into it after the CoS involved itself in what Anon considers its property.

The internet in its current form has been long held by anonymous to be ours. We own it. We live in it. We poop in that corner over there. In real life most anons work as Admins and Code Monkies responsible for keeping the internet alive and as a result we have a special place in our black hearts for this wonderful thing that allows us to find porn at 1pm in the afternoon. So when someone touches it or threatens it without our permission anon gets upset and whoever it was catches rAIDS.

This is why we started to fight, the war began not as a moral cause or even an attempt at taking the moral high ground but as an attempt for lulz and the possibility of pissing off the angriest little church we know. Yet after WBM's involvement Anons involved in chanology changed (imo theres a small seperation here between Chanology Anons and Normal Anons). Instead of continuing the usual DDoS' and touching their servers between their female connectors rather violently (Computing Humor) we stopped. It was to me the sense that we could achieve the most epic win of all time by playing it Ghandi that gave us the realisation that the CoS was the Real World Hate Machine and that Internet Hate would not be enough.

I don't really know where I'm going with this...but it just feels weird that the Internet Hate Machine is being called "Good" and "Beautiful". Sure 9/10ths of anonymous has always been satire but it doesn't make it any easier being a good guy.

I guess I just wanted to say "Damn you Miscavge for making me be a good guy now hurry up and lose so I can go back to making fun of camwhores."

That and will people stop asking about who leads anon and insisting leaders of anonymous exist. (mostly aimed at scitards and those two guys on here who should lurk moar) We are unleadable due to the fact we have no names. Yes some of us take a more vocal and visible role in the protests but they don't lead us. We lead us. This is a chaos democracy. Everyones vote matters more than everyones elses.

Anonhead:

That was a fucking AWESOME post...lol

[Kookaburra]

Almondjoy, I am in the same position as you.. I haven't got the guts yet, but I really want to, and thus Whiterose, your dedication I am very very grateful for. It means so much to a lot of people.

Jono, I had also never been to an anti Scn protest and was real nervous about it. Still, after 16 years out. I went to the 12 Apr protest in Sydney. I had a blast. It is very empowering to see the perpetrators of all this abuse COWERING and HIDING just because of your presence. The two that came out to harass the demonstrators were brave for sure but pathetic in their defense of Scientology. I even did an interview with the press a week later (but I did put my foot down about publishing my photo), which is something I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd do.

So my advice is, go for it. You won't regret it.

[Don Carlo]

Thanks to Azrael, AnonHead, and other Anonymous, for organizing - organizing! into a juggernaut of non-violent and FUN protest that is CoS's worst nightmare. And thanks for making a safe way for me to protest, after thirty years of fearing dead agenting.

[Braveheart's Girlfriend]

Daisy, that was a beautiful, honest post, and I appreciate your having said all those things so much. And what everyone else has said in this thread.
The way I see Anonymous is they're just people - brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews, mothers and fathers (now), cousins, aunts and uncles, and many (now) with children of their own. Ex, never-in, known and unknown critics side by side protesting with a huge bunch of people who also abhor the fact that such a group as Scientology has been and can continue to be so hurtful, so utterly corrupt and corrupting.

I'd like to rain caek on Anonymous for being such a cooperative, powerful, creative and incredibly unifying force in the fight against the cult of Scientology.

Anyway, love to you, Daisy.

[daisy]

Thank you, thank you my dear friends both here and at Enturbulation.org. Your words mean more to me than I could ever express.

Looking forward to the 10th.

Love, Martha

[AnonAus]

Martha, all i can say is. one word comes to mind more than any other.

Respect.

AnonHead.

Thanks for being YOU! As i prepare for another sleepless night, i.e post protest jitters, it is comforting to know i have aligned myself with MANY honest and sincere individuals, of whom i will never get to know their names. I,m cool with that now.

Peace and good luck to all of you tomorrow.

It is exiting to tune in and be a part of the epic lurve being made here at
OC. On yet another Peaceful Day of Protest, organized and spearheaded
by the Internet Grass-Roots movement known as Anonymous, I send my
praises as well.

For those who poop on the Anonymous Party, I say this. Learn to live and
let live. We can all try and be perfectly kleen and only associate with
people who are perfectly kleen and you know what? Organized Xenus will
just manufacture the dirt, and spread the lies anyway. Do you think for
one minute, had Anonymous had no record of unsavory acts, that the Cult
would not have labeled (or libeled) them terrorists and manufactured all
the death threats, etc. that the FBI can apparently find no evidence of?
I assure you they would have. They still would have taken advantage of
the current political climate, and rolled out the "T-Word" for the
media-ignorant population to gape at in front of their TVs.

I say let it be and let it play out. Quit getting your undies all balled up.
Go have a smoke (or some chewing gum). Go watch your fav movie and chill.

Give the Nonys the credit they deserve. Since they have arrived on the
scene, the "stats" of those opposed to the Cult have risen to
unprecedented levels:

1. There have been monthly, worldwide, successful protests, where
before there were none, resulting in hundreds of hours of media
attention spotlighted right onto the crimes of the Cult.

2. The protests have been totally peaceful, with NO negative incidents
perpetrated by Anons.

3. Internet traffic to anti-Sci websites has multiplied exponentially.
(I am getting asked about Anon by people who have NEVER expressed
any interest before)

4. Ex-Sci's have been empowered to speak out about their stories
like never before.

5. More opposition websites than ever before.

6. OSA spending oodles of man hours and money on what to do about
this, taking them away from their fair-gaming of innocent ex-Sci's.
(Though I am sorry the Evil Eye is now panning over Anons)

7. There is now hope (and evidence) that the world is waking up to the
fact that is it Scientology, and not us, that need to be "shunned".

If you are afraid that the Nonys put our movement at a disadvantage
because of their past, then you give OSA more credit than they deserve.
Most people are hard-working, law abiding citizens. That goes for
Anons too. There will always be a small percentage of people who
will engage in criminal acts, including ex-Sci's. There is no way to avoid
this fact. But an Organized Crime Organization like the Cult of Xenu
has a MUCH higher percentage of criminal acts than we "humans" will
ever have, because crime is built into the fabric and framework of
their syndicated business disguised as a religion. You underestimate
the true goodness of mankind, and the true badness of Davey and his
band of criminals and zombies.

So calm down and quit running around like chicken little. If the Anons
end up "harming" the movement in some way (the idea of which, I think
is absurd), because of their past, then so be it. Its not like this movement
would not recover from such an event, even if it were to take place.
The Cult refuses to let into the fold anyone with a criminal record or
background. Are you saying we should follow suit and not let the anons
help us because of a few alleged criminal acts in their past? If I were
law enforcement, going into a bad neighborhood,
personally, I would want a criminal at my back, who knows the lay of
the land. If you locked your keys in your car, and a car thief with
a slim jim comes along to help you out, would you say "No thanks,
I do not accept help from criminals", and remain locked from your
car? Its just not common sense. There have been a few ex-Sci's with
actual crim backgrounds that have been exposed by the cult.
Would you say it was better that they did nothing because
of their backgrounds? Would you say Shaun Lonsdale and the
rest did more harm than good?
Do we need to start sec checking and A to J- ing everyone who
wants to be a part of this movement? That would be crazy and
unrealistic. One
thing I personally lurve about this bunch people is the fact that there
IS little control and it is a free-flowing movement, which is what
makes it SO contrary to the super-authoritarian control of the
Cult. So quit trying to control this. Let it ride and enjoy the ride.
We are evolving while they are devolving. I say let the evolution
take place!

And finally a BIG THANK YOU to all the Anons for helping us in our
fight against the corrupt and criminal organization of Scientology.
You have turned this fight into a world-wide movement that is
unstoppable now and gaining momentum every day. We owe this
acknowledgment to you, and I will use my OT powers to help make
sure that you are not harmed by the cult. (wink)

And thanks for making a safe way for me to protest, after thirty years of fearing dead agenting.

I freaking love this.

Give the Nonys the credit they deserve. Since they have arrived on the
scene, the "stats" of those opposed to the Cult have risen to
unprecedented level

Not only have the Nony's peeled the scientology onion, they are allowing more people to see just how disgusting the centre is, on a global scale.

Never have there been so many ongoing reports through media, that something is in herently wrong about Scn Inc.
Scn Inc is drowning in it's own bile, that for sooo long was unchallenged by mainstream on a consistent level.

The Nony's constantly change and adapt in a positive way.

Just yesterday here in Sydney, a little prank was being hatched with relation to how the cult have been illegally parking huge trucks out front of the Grade V. A sign saying "Party Van" was being proposed to be stuck on the side of the truck as a joke.

It was said to the Nony's, that the cult could easily use the harmless prank as being vandalism by Anonymous. After a small discussion of telling the Nony's they had come too far with a positive effect, to have it set back by playing a harmless joke.

The Nony's didnt say "Hey, this is lulz", they collectively agreed that it would be wiser not to get the cults PR machine any ammunition to DA the cause of Anonymous and the fight against the Cult of Scientology.

Thank you Anonymous, you have brought so many people together and continue to do so daily.

Dorothy is spot on when she says authorities would love any opportunity to trott out the "T-word" and have media report it ad nauseum.

The Nony's are the best thing to happen against the crimes of Scn Inc in a decade, and none of the fabrications the cult produces, nor the parrotting of "intended crimes" by the foolish will stop the truth from being heard.

The only terrorists in the fight are Scientology Inc themselves.

Yes, bask in the warm and glowing light that is Anonymous.

Go forth all ye and protest your hearts out.

HAVE SOME CAEK!!
