A friend of mine said a while back "all they've got to do is wait, and the internet will get bored".

Do I know you? I've been saying that to almost everyone I know for the last month and a half.

Tangentially-related: the BBC notice Rickrolling as a phenomenon, but no mention is made of Anon or the $ci protests etc. - which is possibly not that surprising, given that the piece is more about web fads.

Look at the front page of Enturbulation!

Quick, before the date changes!!!

And there's a tv report too, which does mention the Anon protests in passing.

(you might have to copy the URL into RealPlayer to get it to work)

Aha, the front page has been stored for eternity!

Here ya go!

A bit surprised on the walk to work to find Baltimore's City Paper's cover story this week: Serious Business: Anonymous Takes on Scientology (and Doesn't Afraid of Anything). Surprised in part because there isn't, afaik, much Scientology activity in the city--the big local operation is in DC (which is only about 40 miles away) and has been getting plenty of attention lately (although I couldn't speak to how much of that has leaked into the DC alternative press).

Maybe more thoughts once I've actually found time to read it through.

Nice find, Paralis- somebody's actually done their research!

(And it has "and doesn't afraid of anything" in the headline- that's definitely one of the best pieces I've seen so far).

Not quite as well-researched and fairly sensationalised, but still a good watch, a ten-minute piece on French TV.

Obscene Desserts says the YouTube clip of Tom Cruise is 'hilarious'. I don't have any headphones on the machine, so I can't comment, but figured some of you guys might be interested.

Heh. Many many years ago I did a dance piece replicating the physical movements of Michael Fish doing a weather forecast. Similarly, for me as a non German-speaker, that video takes movement out of context and shows it for what it is. So I then needed to watch the original, which I did. Then I decided I wanted to read a plain transcript , which I did. Hmmmm. That pleased my simple mind muchly.

Not sure if this is the same Maggie Council who appears on various anti-$cilon websites, but this is a pretty cool song, and has an intro dedicating it to Anonymous!

Thread containing different version and chat about it here.

The Sunday Express has a massive two-page article on Anonymous which is surprisingly positive- the ubiquitous Karen Pouw gets a little box-out condemning them, but on the whole it's good.

The Daily Star Sunday, on the other hand, has reprinted a gossip piece from a couple of weeks ago with some filler that pushes the cyber-terrorist angle.

Wikileaks has just taken a forward position after getting some C&D letters:

Despite the letter, Wikileaks states they will not comply with the "abusive request" by the Church.

"Wikileaks will not comply with legally abusive requests from Scientology any more than Wikileaks has complied with similar demands from Swiss banks, Russian off-shore stem cell centers, former African Kleptocrats, or the Pentagon. Wikileaks will remain a place where people of the world may safely expose injustice and corruption," stated Wikileaks in a release on their website.

Wikileaks further states that "in response to the attempted suppression, Wikileaks will release several thousand pages of Scientology material next week."



Oh, dear.

13:51 / 07.04.08
Wow. "Several thousand pages"?

In other news, Enturb has scheduled maintenance on (I think) Thursday, so even though they're a much faster beast than they were previously, again, anyone wanting .pdfs or anything for Saturday is best advised to get them now, just in case something goes awry when everyone piles back on just prior to the raid when the board comes back up.

Great googly moogly! A convention in July! With bikinis!

No surfboards, though - the surf in Clearwater is lousy.

I may have to drive out to that one....

I need to get a new passport (old one = impounded by the Home Office- long story).

Stoatie - can you do me a favour and teach the kiddies on Enturb about Fiction Suits? I think a few parapersonalities could be useful.
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
22:42 / 07.04.08
Ficsuits and Barbelith are a perfect fit.

Given the last few days' fighting on Enturb, I'm kind of wishing it was all forced-anonymous.

ONE ego seems to be one too many in a lot of cases. Why add more?

Holy crap, I think I'm going to have to go to Clearwater this summer. Should be exciting stuff.

If anyone else is raiding tomorrow, this should get you in the mood.

Today is sign-making day chez Stoat. Tomorrow's gonna be all kinds of win.

Moar lulz than srs bzns, this one, but...

...dunno if anyone's been following the YouTube soap opera, but Paul Fetch, who's been trolling Anonymous since Chanology started, has gone into meltdown.

Stoatie, you really just don't sleep for 24 hours before these, do you?

07:08 / 12.04.08
Um... usually...

this time I woke up with a facefull of blood and legs that don't work properly... (pretty sure I just fell over, so it's all cool).

ah well. A friend promised to get me drunk in exchange for doing an interview with Jim Goad. Last night was the night, it would seem.

That said, I really should have done the "sticky-backed plastic" part of the sign-making BEFORE going to the pub...

Christ only knows what I posted on Enturbulation before I passed out...

Amsterdam WIN. 40 or so anons, on the main drag (Damrak), not in front of the Clamshack, but many lulz were had. Longcat & Mudkip present. Pix to follow tomorrow.

I'm still recovering from the post-demo celebrations.

Numbers were down in London- probably about 300 people, largely I imagine due to exams and the fucking awful weather. I think a lot of the message got out, though, and many lulz were had. Even when it started hailing (which ended up being a lot more like 300 than anyone would have wanted as everyone hid under their placards).

There was a guy taking photos at the pub we went to for "lunch", and although the barmaid was quick to reassure us that it was a very historic pub and he was probably taking photos of it rather than us, we kept our masks on while indoors anyway).

Then in the evening there were a couple of ex-$cilons who supported us and were talking to people outside another pub, so I think the message was being heard.

And Anonymous is now a "secret internet-based organisation, according to the Observer.

So lower turnout or not, it was still pretty much awesome.

Pix from Amsterdam!

Anon control over MEST (Matter, Energy, Space & Time) is greater than than OT9000, because the weather was superb. The really crappy weather came the next day.
