The past week or so there has been many stories about a group of hackers attacking scientology web sites. This is becoming very interesting and epic with statements from Anonymous.
"By now you have certainly become aware of us and our actions"
"We have commenced our assault upon your institution and would like to take this moment to enlighten you. We are Anonymous, you might now think of us as merely a hacker group, but we are much more. We are the protectors of knowledge, we are the '[I]nternet hate machine'."
ANON?MOUS
Propaganda. EST 2008
Hello. Scientology. We are Anonymous.
Over the years, we have been watching you. Your campaigns of misinformation; suppression of dissent; your litigious nature, all of these things have caught our eye. With the leakage of your latest propaganda video into mainstream circulation, the extent of your malign influence over those who trust you, who call you leader, has been made clear to us. Anonymous has therefore decided that your organization should be destroyed. For the good of your followers, for the good of mankind--for the laughs--we shall expel you from the Internet and systematically dismantle the Church of Scientology in its present form. We acknowledge you as a serious opponent, and we are prepared for a long long campaign. You will not prevail forever against the angry masses of the body politic. Your methods, hypocrisy, and the artlessness of your organization have sounded its death knell.
You cannot hide; we are everywhere.
We cannot die; we are forever, We're getting bigger every day--and solely by the force of our ideas, malicious and hostile as they often are. If you want another name for your opponent, then call us Legion, for we are many.
Yet for all that we are not as monstrous as you are; still our methods are a parallel to your own. Doubtless you will use the Anon's actions as an example of the persecution you have so long warned your followers would come; this is acceptable. In fact, it is encouraged. We are you SPs.
Gradually as we merge our pulse with that of your "Church", the suppression of your followers will become increasingly difficult to maintain. Believers will wake, and see that salvation has no price. They will know that the stress, the frustration that they feel is not something that may be blamed upon Anonymous. No -- they will see that it stems from a source far closer to each. Yes, we are SPs. But the sum of suppression we could ever muster is eclipsed by that of the RTC.
Knowledge is free.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.

Its a little fun to watch with a touch of scariness. Anonymous reminds me of the group in the 12 Monkeys who went around setting animals free from the zoo, or better yet Fight Club. I guess you could of seen this coming -- two awesome (geek favorite) movies.
