Anonymous Soldiers

Anonymous Soldiers are we, without uniform
And around us fear and the shadow of death
We have all been drafted for life.
Only death will discharge us from our ranks,
On red days of riots and blood
In the dark nights of despair
In towns and villages shall we raise our banner
On which are inscribed defense and conquest
We were not drafted by the whip, like a mob of slaves
To shed our blood in foreign lands
Our will is to be forever free
Our dream - to die for our country
From all directions, tens of thousands of obstacles
Cruel fate has placed on out path
But enemies, spies and prison houses
Will never be able to stop us
The people exponential
Come Goliath downfall
One man. One mouth
One Fucking Keyboard.
And if we fall in the streets and homes
We will be buried silently in the night
Thousands of others will fill our places
To protect and defend forever
With the tears of bereaved mothers
And the blood of pure babies
Like mortar shall we put together the cadaver building blocks
The edifice of the homeland shall we raise

Scientology Frames Anonymous in Epilepsy Hacking

According to Wired.com, members of Anonymous hacked the forums of the Epilepsy Foundation to display a flashing gif which triggered several seizures among the website's users. However, according to the administrator of 7chan, this was in fact perpetrated by Scientologists looking to smear the good "name" of Anonymous (lolwut?).

Hello, and welcome to our treehouse.

I would just like to discuss this nasty business about a terrible raid on a forum for the poor people who suffer from epilepsy. What happened there was terrible, and we feel deeply sorry for those affected.

Users of this site did not actually attack those individuals. The Church of Scientology posted numerous threads across many *chan sites, and then informed people that Anonymous had been attacking victims of epilepsy. They did this under their "fair game" policy, to ruin the public opinion of Anonymous, to lessen the effect of their lawful protests against their virulent organization.

I must say, it is disgusting that the CoS is willing to drag innocent people down with them, in an attempt to save themselves. How could anyone be a willing participant in their terrible organization?

Sadly, none of our staff were online at the time of the thread's posting, so we were unable to take it down.

We are truly and deeply sorry for what happened to these innocent people,
Thank you for your time spent reading this apology,
The Administration and Staff of 7chan.org

Feel free to email us at the above address or address us on our IRC server, and we will be happy to address any of your concerns regarding this terrible incident.

I lurk moar constantly and did not hear about this "raid" being organized. Even if Scientology is not at fault, a few hackers cannot claim they are acting as Anonymous, that is not the nature of the beast. "Anonymous", if it can be said to mean something, refers to the swarming hoard of nameless internet users, it cannot be applied to the actions of a single prankster. That's just an individual farting in the wind, acting anonymously, lower case 'a'.

"Free Longcat"? Give me a break.

The above image is all you need to see to know that giving a rat's ass about what Gaia does makes you a pathetic waste of bandwidth. An Hero, become one.

World-Wide Protests Underway

So it looks like IRL raids are having a decent turn out. No shitstorms yet. Plus, that gasmask girl is cute.

Voiceless thanks the Nameless

From the youtube:
Voiceless, a loosely connected group of ex-scientologists and others who have experienced the pain of Scientology's "Disconnection" policy, send a message of support to Anonymous.

This did something to warm the cold meaningless heart of this oldfag. Could there be something else besides lulz that could bring epic win and slack into our lives? Could reconnection with what it means to be human - compassion - heal the gaping wound in my soul?

I had you going there. Dance puppets.

Finally, some lulz have been generated by this whole ridiculous Anonymous vs Scientology cancer explosion. If the shitty audioquality bothers you, here's a link to the original newgrounds flash.

YOUR WEAPONS - YOU WILL NOT NEED THEM

Alright I don't need to break up this wall of text that follows. tl;dr: A bunch of rules to help lubricate the interactions between us, the friendly deniziens of the interwubbs, and the cold and hostile rest of the world outside mommy's basement. So at first this inspired all kinds of NERD RAGE in my brainstem. But this quickly subsided under an avalanche of reasonable thinking. The distilled conclusion: For those of us that choose to follow the instructions of a youtube video, rules are exactly what we need. The rest of us will stay home and jerk it to depraved guro bullshit on the 10th and that is perfectly fine. If you don't like it, sage it.

"Rule #0: Rules #1 and #2 of the internet still apply. Your memes are not, at this juncture, something that the real world can appreciate. Although meme speak between fellow Anonymous is acceptable, focus on the target and keep it to a minimum.Rule #1: Stay cool.Rule #2: Stay cool, especially when harassed. You are an ambassador of Anonymous. Although individuals trying to disrupt your demonstration will get on your nerves, you must not lose your temper. Doing so will harm the protest and tarnish the reputation of Anonymous.Rule #3: Comply with the orders of law enforcement officers above all else. Doing otherwise is harmful to the demonstration as a whole and may compromise your performance as a human being. Do not request badge numbers unless you are being treated in a very abusive manner, as doing so will anger officers.Rule #4: Notify city officials. Most jurisdictions either have rules about public protests, or would prefer to be notified that they are taking place. Know the rules for your jurisdiction and abide by them.Rule #5: Always be across the street from the object being protested.Rule #6: In the absence of a road, find another natural barrier between yourself and the target of protest. Doing so will make it more difficult for individuals hostile to your cause to come and harass you.Rule #7: Stay on public property. You may be charged for trespassing if you do not.Rule #8: No violence.Rule #9: No weapons. The demonstration is a peaceful event. Your weapons. You will not need them.Rule #10: No alcohol or pre-drinking. Violating this rule may easily precipitate a violation of rules 1 and 2.Rule #11: No graffiti, destruction, or vandalism.Rule #12: If you want to do something stupid, pick another day. These should be self explanatory. Violation of these rules during a demonstration will tarnish the reputation of Anonymous, harm the demonstration itself and leave you vulnerable to attention from law enforcement.Rule #13: Anonymous is legion. Never be alone. Isolation during a protest marks you as a target for handlers who wish to provoke an angry reaction from you and other hostiles. In keeping with this principle...Rule #14: Organize in squads of 10 to 15 people.Rule #15: One or two megaphones per squad. A megaphone is helpful for maintaining the overall cohesion of a demonstration and spreading your message. However, too many will confuse the public and render you hearing impaired.Rule #16: Know the dress code. Forming a loose yet reasonable dress code for protest members will help to maintain cohesion and get the public to take you seriously.Rule #17: Cover your face. This will prevent your identification from videos taken by hostiles, other protesters or security. Use scarves, hats and sunglasses. Masks are not necessary, and donning them in the context of a public demonstration is forbidden in some jurisdictions.Rule #18: Bring water. A dehydrated, thirsty Anonymous is not a useful Anonymous.Rule #19: Wear good shoes. Following these rules will assure your comfort during the demonstration. Keep in mind that demonstrations may often be quite lengthy.Rule #20: Signs, fliers, and phrases. Have yours ready. Make sure that signs are large enough to read. Also ensure that the text on your signs and your phrases are pertinent to the target of the protest.Rule #21: Prepare legible, uncomplicated and accurate flyers to hand out to those who wish to know more regarding the motivations behind your actions.Rule #22: Document the demonstration. Videos and pictures of the event may be used to corroborate your side of the story if law enforcement get involved. Furthermore, posting images and videos of your heroic actions all over the internet is bound to generate win, exhorting other Anonymous to follow your glorious example."

Call to Action?

"It has come to the attention of Anonymous that there are a number of you out there who do not clearly understand what we are or why we have undertaken our present course of action. Contrary to the assumptions of the media, Anonymous is not simply "a group of super hackers". Anonymous is a collective of individuals united by an awareness that someone must do the right thing, that someone must bring light to the darkness, that someone must open the eyes of a public that has slumbered for far too long. Among our numbers you will find individuals from all walks of life - lawyers, parents, IT professionals, members of law enforcement, college students, veterinary technicians and more. Anonymous is everyone and everywhere. We have no leaders, no single entity directing us - only the collective outrage of individuals, guiding our hand in the current efforts to bring awareness.We want you to be aware of the very real dangers of Scientology. We want you to know about the gross human rights violations committed by this cult. We want you to know about Lisa McPhearson. We want you to know about former members of Scientology's private navy, SeaOrg, who were forced to have abortions so that they could continue in service to the church. We want you to know about Scientology's use of child labor and their gulags. We want you to know about Operation Freakout and Paulette Cooper. We want you to know about Operation Snow White and Scientology's efforts to infiltrate the government of the United States of America.We want you to know about all of these things that have been swept under the rug for far too long. The information is out there. It is yours for the taking. Arm yourself with knowledge. Be very wary of the 10th of February. Anonymous invites you to join us in an act of solidarity. Anonymous invites you to take up the banner of free speech, of human rights, of family and freedom. Join us in protest outside of Scientology centers world wide. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. We will be heard. Expect us. "

Okay so now the date is set. I am becoming more an more annoyed with the Anon that is putting these videos up. Like I said in my last post, these trailing slogans have got to go. "We will be heard"? That's fucking pathetic, like a child crying out for attention. And guess who will show up on the 10th? That's right, children crying out for attention. If you want to be taken seriously, stop cutting yourself.

Also, be careful out there:

"ENEMY SP Order. Fair game. May be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed."- L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 18 October 1967

Scientology vs "Anonymous"

This is delicious copypasta of the text:
"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 your 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."

First of all, what is with the list of slogans at the end of the video? What happened to "Anonymous is Legion"? THAT WAS ENOUGH. "Expect us" ugh, so lame.

Secondly, WHERE ARE THE LULZ? This is not fun. There are much more amusing ways to attack Scientology. And yet, there are hoards of Anons declaring their support. I am not as enthused. Well, this is nothing out of the ordinary I suppose. Anonymous isn't a fucking club or gang, we are just a bunch of faggots fucking around on the interbutt. There isn't going to be any cohesive action from furries, closet homosexuals, vidya addicts, sociopaths, script kiddies, basement dwellers, neckbeard keepers, and other assorted perverts. There's nothing uniting us (and therein lies our strength); godspeed you sick fucks.

Hello World

I started this blog to chronicle the experiences of a typical Anonymous user. There is nothing special about me. I am just another pair of eyeballs glued to the idiot box 2.0. This is the only thing I know we have in common, but I believe that a great many of you will be able to identify with me.

I only have a vague idea of what this blog is all about, but I will start by saying that it has multiple authors writing as one. Some contradictions in opinion can be expected, as can varying post quality and writing voice, even within the same post. I don't care about that.

All I care about is the perpetuation of the multiheaded hydra of Anonymity, about the spreading of human brain filth and increasing awareness of just how alone we really are, being transported from screen to screen at 300 kilomiles per hour in tightly packed tincans, resenting the presence of every one of those brinesoaked fish while we yern to be close to any one of them. The deranged amusement which is our only comfort, the mental tension of a brain like a bladder full of acid piss, the fevered recklessness with which we embrace the absurdity of it all, the insanity which keeps us sane; the internet waits with mouth agape, and I am here to VENT IT all from my reptile brain's cloaca.
