Just a long-time lurker who has been following this dropping by. I'm not going to register on the Enturbulation boards, but it may be of interest if anyone here who is posting on them could mention the words 'naturopathy' and this place - http://www.naturopathy-uk.com/home/main/

The CoS is strongly linked to this place - somewhere that is awarding accreditation for various types of alternative medicine in the UK. Herbalism, naturopathy and other self-help courses. New age stuff that might or might not work, but which vulnerable people will go for.

I'm sure you can see what I'm saying and maybe do a bit of work to fill in some of the blanks.

TL;DR version - I'm kinda worried that Sci is trying to get into the alternative health market and is claiming authority in the area. Please pass this on to people who can look into it further.

*Natural Health Food Associations* is a known front group. Of course "known" is relative....

Seeing lots of local graffiti for antipsychiatry dot com. Have been adding informative postscripts to them from time to time; hope SFanons are doing the same.

Missed this at the time (in January) but Stephen Colbert outs Will Smith as a $cilon. Now, where this has the potential to become awesome is that many people have long suspected his mate Jon Stewart is a *channer (he comes out with a little too much conveniently meme-interpretable wording for coincidence, is the feeling. One time he said "do a barrel roll" and the boards went APESHIT. If this is indeed the case, it's not inconceivable that Colbert, his comedy partner in crime, may be too. (Or at least that they share a writer who is). A long shot, sure, but what great PR that would be if they came out in support of Anoynmous- would really get a lot of people who wouldn't necessarily have given it much thought before.

Ah well, a guy can dream, right?

(Edit- actually, come to think of it, I think it was Colbert himself who said "do a barrel roll"...)

My money'd be on it being one of their writers. There are few other professions where surfing the internet and sipping deeply of its obsessions can be considered work.

In other news, Diesel Sweeties has gotten infected. (I saw that exact joke being told on IRC weeks ago.)

Troll or $cilon? Video claiming Anonymous is going after the Catholic Church.

(Incidentally, if it's still up, DON'T click on the link in the "about" box. The site's full of malware, apparently. YouTube have been informed).

Holy shit. That's the best raid idea I've ever seen. London's gonna have to do something fucking awesome to not get pwned by DC this time round.

Has anyone asked Alan Moore what he thinks of the "Guy Fawkes imagery" Bunker refers to?

I've been wondering that myself, given that it's the movie which seems to have given visual inspiration to exactly the same kind of movement (though focussed differently) that I'm sure he'd have wanted the comic to inspire. I'm also sure I've maybe just repeated myself- I've definitely typed that sentence SOMEWHERE before.

It's hearsay, and I can't find a decent source, but does anyone know if it's true that LRH said $ci auditing techniques don't "work" on people who have previously taken psychiatric drugs? Someone mentioned this on Enturb the other day, but I can't remember the thread.

If so, then fucking win! Pretty much everyone I know's already-slim chances of ever turning fifth columnist just dropped to a big fat zero.

From Slashdot:

An anonymous reader alerts us to new material up on Wikileaks: 208 scanned pages (in one PDF) relating to the Church of Scientology and its former "Office of Special Affairs" employee (and subsequent apostate) Frank Oliver.

"The documents are dated between 1986 and 1992 inclusive, when, according to the file, Frank Oliver was declared a 'suppressive person' and excommunicated. Frank Oliver should be able to verify the material and has appeared in the media before on subjects relating to the church. Starting on page 107, the document shows that at the time of writing the Church of Scientology was still actively engaged in black propaganda (especially concerning psychiatry), 'fair game' and infiltration."

Ooooo.

It seems like leaks are coming fast and furious now.

Oh, and Tory "Magoo" Christman has just started rickrolling. Strange days.

Edit to add: Here's a torrented version of the Oliver leak to give wikileaks a break.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
14:27 / 12.03.08
Yeah, getting Rickrolled by Magoo was one of the stranger starts to a day Anonymous has had recently.

Along with that and WBM's dressing his Emmy in a V mask, I'm loving how the Old Guard are getting into the memes and the lulz...

I also love how she's had her SP declaration laminated!


Interesting thought- it's pretty common knowledge that the press often shy away from Co$ stuff, for obvious reasons- what are the chances that the News Of The World's creepy Tom Cruise story this weekend may be the beginning of an opening of the floodgates? I mean, it's been syndicated around the world, and I'm guessing a lot of the major press outlets have a whole shitload of stories they've been sitting on for fear of reprisal. What if they all start to come out?

The best thing is that most of them don't seem to be from Anons. But I'm guessing that come Saturday a fair few of them WILL be. Epic win, thanks to the $cilons!
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
14:03 / 13.03.08
And the $cilons are organising counter protests on the 15th in Australia at least- wouldn't surprise me if the tactic was more widespread than that, though. Anyone coming on Saturday is advised to STAY ON TARGET and not allow themselves to be provoked.

Lerma's latest reveal: plans that the Church is planning to have kids present at protest sites, and to manufacture a violent incident.

This is pretty much what I've been expecting.

Got a member of staff come up to me today at work and ask for Saturday off.

"Why do you need time off?"
"Me and my brother are going to a protest against Scientology. We've bought V facemasks and everything!"

Fukkin Yeah!

Copied and pasted from Boing Boing:

Jason Carlin just sent me this link, it seems someone claiming to be involved with The Church of Scientology has identified what they think are a few Anonymous members and posted all their personal information online. I said before this was going to get more interesting before it went away and it seems to have just taken another step in that direction. I do think it’s noteworthy to point out that when trying to defend yourself against claims that you use fear and personal threats to silence your critics, using fear and personal threats to silence your critics might not be the best course of action when it comes to clearing your name.

Link to video presumably produced by the Church of Scientology. OH GREAT, a troll war between channers and Scientologists. Heat up the popcorn, it's gonna be a long night.

I believe that Channel Four is interested. They go to broadcast in about an hour. I think concise emails arriving in their inbox will be read, and any relevant videos might even get air time.

I wouldn't suggest bombarding them with email, but a clearly worded missive about the issue might be of use to them, especially if it includes a few handy URLs with brief descriptions of what can be found by clicking them.

This, of course, if you do want to publicise the protest tomorrow.


There's a thread in one of the many outer arms of the anonymous beast that has a list of places to call and email, but I think Channel Four is the most handy.

An email to strobes@private-eye.co.uk(the editor) might not go amiss either.

I think someone on enturb's already on the case- leastways, there are people in touch with the media- I'll have a root around and see if anyone mentions C4.

I now have a sign, having done all the Blue Peter shit this afternoon (there was sticky-backed plastic involved and EVERYTHING). One side says "Co$ CAKE IS A LIE", the other "FAIL CULT IS FAIL".
