It is as if a cross between "1984" and "V For Vendetta" had been written by Phillip Jose Farmer and John Scalzi. I think that is why I find it so entertaining and addictive. My favorite is "Anonymous' Response To The Media": http://youtube.com/watch?v=-3ujR3DJ308 "Dear News Organizations. We have been watching your reporting of Anonymous' Conflict with The Church of Scientology. As you said. The so called Church of Scientology, have actively misused copyright, and trademark law, in pursuit of its own agenda. They attempt, not only to subvert free speech, but to recklessly pervert justice to silence those who speak out against them. We find it interesting that you did not mention the other objections in your news reporting. The stifling and punishment of dissent within the totalitarian organization of Scientology. The numerous, alleged human rights violations. Such as the treatment and events that led to the deaths of victims of the cult such as Lisa McPherson. This Cult is Nothing but a psychotically driven pyramid scheme. Why are you, the news media. Afraid of discussing these matters? It is your duty to report on these matters. You are Failing in your Duty. Their activities make them an affront to freedom. Remember. All that is necessary. For the triumph of evil. Is that good men do nothing. This information is Everywhere. It is your Duty to expose it. It is easy to find. Google is your friend. This is not Religious Persecution. But the suppression of a powerful, criminal fascist regime. It is left to Anonymous. The Church has been declared Fair Game. It will be dismantled and destroyed. "When Anonymous, sees an evil fascist brainwashing organization. Anonymous knows, it has to help mankind. Because Anonymous knows that it is only Anonymous that can help." Members of the Church. Anonymous is not your enemy. The Church of Scientology is your enemy. The Church has enslaved you. Free Yourselves. Change, does not roll in, on the wheels of inevitability. But comes through continuous struggle. Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor. It must be demanded by the oppressed. Take it. Demand it. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not Forgive. We do not Forget. This is only the beginning. Expect us." The first time I saw this I got chills and began to weep to myself. The way anon takes the words of Tom Cruise and throws them back into the face of COS, the way they mix this with the words that could come from any freedom fighters manifesto, it is brilliance. It resonates with my sense of justice. It makes me wonder if there are subsonics hacking into my emotional centers in my brain.<G> It is just so unreasonable.<G> Anon is promising to make a stand for the general good. Nobody does that these days, at least not without looking like a corny goofball. But they pretty much seem to be pulling it off, and pulling people in with them. Their ranks are said to be growing. Who knows if they can pull this off. It is most likely they will buckle before attaining anything approaching their stated goal. But it sure is fun to watch, and who knows, they might just get some reform out of the COS. <G> xponent That's Infotainment!
