'Anonymous Exposed' Video Strikes Back at 'Anonymous' Members

A new website posted this video documenting the alleged actions and threats taken by Anonymous against the Church of Scientology. The site, created two weeks ago, does not explicitly state an affiliation with the CoS but it documents what it alleges are "Religious Hate Crimes and Terrorism Directed at Church of Scientology."

Since January 17, 2008, "Anonymous," a group of cyber-terrorists hiding their identities behind masks and computer anonymity, has targeted the Scientology religion, its Churches, leaders and parishioners with hate speech and hate crimes -- Anonymous Exposed

The video accuses Anonymous member of (in less than three weeks time):

* 8,139 harassing or threatening phone calls
* 3.6 million malicious e-mails
* 141 million Web site attacks
* 10 Acts of vandalism
* 22 Bomb threats against churches and members
* 8 death threats

That video is very FOX-like

 

What would Xenu do?

 

Now that it INTERESTING... considering that those are pretty much the same things Co$ has been using during the last decades. I'm sure the f/b/i is not happy if/when they'll find out that Co$ made their own threats again just in order to use the martyr-card.

The site was very entertaining for a random reader. I spend a few minutes in google too, and noticed that I had not seen that much disinformation in last 20 years. I was born in the Soviet Union, so I can recognize propaganda, and also have zero tolerance for cults.

 

Agreed, funland. It made me chuckle the first time I heard/saw those accusations of 8-figure DDOS attacks in the video.

Also, does "Anonymous" actually have "members" as this video suggests? Couldn't they get James Earl Jones or someone a bit more convincing to do the voice-over?

 

Doesn't encyclopedia dramatica go by annonymous in their pranks? The way the EDers use their free time scares me more than scientology.
