Internet Group Declares War on Scientology
Darkman, Walkin Dude writes "An internet group calling itself Anonymous has declared war on the Church of Scientology, in the form of an ominous posting to the YouTube site. 'In the statement, the group explained their goal as safeguarding the right to freedom of speech. "A spokesperson said that the group's goals include bringing an end to the financial exploitation of Church members and protecting the right to free speech, a right which they claim was consistently violated by the Church of Scientology in pursuit of its opponents." The press release also claimed that the Church of Scientology misused copyright and trademark law in order to remove criticism from websites including Digg and YouTube. The statement goes on to assert that the attacks from the group "will continue until the Church of Scientology reacts, at which point they will change strategy".' It should be noted that Slashdot users have had interactions with Scientology in the past as well."
Hopefully the RIAA will be next. Sure they seem to be shooting themselves in the foot a lot lately, but they still need to be wiped out.

Any "Church" that charges for its teachings and also has them copyrighted to prevent free distribution is not a church it's a scam at best and a dangerous cult at worst
cult (n): A small, unpopular religion.
religion (n): a large, popular cult.

The war on Scientology, led by the same people who said "Google Ron Paul"
/b/tards, on the other hand, listen intently and google bomb "Rob Paul" to link to a picture of shitting dick-nipples.
No, this is lead by 4chan.
Some people say "google Ron Paul."
From Wikinews: The "Message to Scientology" video was highlighted as the "YouTube Video of the Week" by The Michigan Daily. Commenting on the video, the piece states "if this video is any indication, it seems like the assailants mean business". Hehe. If that were a credible metric of "business", we'd have an emo President by now.
You do realize that the people who are leading this war are the same people who consider trolling Slashdot a professional sport?
No loonies in the Clinton camp?
I'm pretty sure all of the Clinton Campaign Funding is in US dollars, not Canadian ones.
The sites you mention do not require membership, therefore your argument is flawed.
Is it wrong that the story's title alone gave me wood? I mean really now, who doesn't want this 'church' to fall into darkness and die a miserable death? I pray for the souls of the poor people that have been hornswaggled by the 'church'. And not in anyway overly Judeo-Christian, just, you know - 'Dear Space Pope, help these lost morons come to their senses...seriously... Lord Xenu? What kind of evil overlord is that. Morgoth, Palpatine, and Voldemorte: those names have staying power, a little Tabasco in their shorts . Xenu sounds like a new brand of toilet scrubbers. Amen.'

Ed: "See that cave full of bears? I am pokin' em with a stick!"
Ned:"OMG Ed, that's crazy!"
Ed: "No worries! See I build a remote poking robot device that I am controlling via wires attached to this here laptop computer."
Ned:"Uh Ed?"
Ed: "Yeah?"
Ned:"Can't they just follow the wire to where you are hiding?"

and all-around psychos who couldn't stop ranting about him in some way.
Um, isn't ranting about him what you just did? Oh, I know. You can quit any time. You don't have a problem. I mean, why would it be a problem when you have to rant about him in a thread dedicated to an anonymous internet group's attack on scientology? Seems like the perfect place to slam Ron Paul to me...NOT.

Don't lead me into temptation... I can find it myself.
If to get about a million people to join all at once and then when the muckey mucks are not around you really mess up the place. I could see at a Scientology meeting you have 300 people 2/3 who are plants, when the rest want to do somethign evil like harass someone, you would then have 2/3rds stand up and say, HELL NO WE AINT GONNA BE ASSHOLES! You can join without paying just tell them that the other churches don't require you paty and demand that they let you into their churches because if you are dressed nicely I have yet to see a church kick you out if you go in, sit down and behave civily. Plus regular churches don't charge you for services, yes they pass around the collections plate but you don't have to put anything on it.
Basically, just kill their silly little cult with a nationwide flash mob of epic proportions.

High quality video tape marketed by Sony. A precursor to their digital tape format.
What?
... now what? Is the next obvious step to make a facebook group about this? I think it would be about as effective.
I can't read that without hearing the A-Team theme in the background.
Why hasn't Tom Cruise responded a-la Chris Crocker with a video called "Leave Xenu ALONE!"
and now, neither can I.
Thanks!

Ron Hubbard - the founder of Scientology - has been quoted as saying that if you want to get rich, you start a religion.
