Voluntary Donations

Most critics don't try to cash in from their criticism. Some, however, try to do it. One notorious example is Enturbulation.org that ask for donations. Another is a website claiming to help Scientologists be reimbursed from the CoS, and asking a "voluntary donation of 10% of what people get back.

Anonymous Stalking Scientologists with Loudspeakers

This video initially shows the reaction to some incident involving a Scientologists. However, later on, it shows the kind of "peaceful protest" some anons hold - it has nothing to do with peaceful protests anymore, it simply is stalking and verbal assault on the beliefs of individual Scientologists, including pursuing them with insults down the street using a loudspeaker. Later on, a stressed Scientologist, trying to leave, hit a car, which provokes the hilarity of anons who then blame her for her lack of OT powers. This later video is a sequence that, for some reason, has been cut off from the first one and published separately later. All in all a most disturbing and unpleasant video, that reflects badly on anonymous.

Clear Society

One of the things that made me leave Scientology is that I realized I would not want to live in a society ran like a Scientology organization. This post, taken from ARS, gives some idea of what it would be like to live in a "Clear" society. Still not something I would personally want even in a milder version of this somewhat overboard description.

Personal Information

You will remember that a group calling itself "The Regime" was the source of furry on the part of Anonymous when the said Regime counter-attacked them in the midst of Anonymous hacking Scientology web site. Apparently The Regime published today a video naming Anonymous. The video is supposed to be on one of Enturbulation.org page but was apparently removed because "the videos contain personal information of others". This is somewhat ironic knowing how Anonymous loves to post personal information about those who disagree with them, and even has a whole "rogue gallery" posting personal information of Scientologists.

The White Rose

Anti-Scientologists have loads of videos hailing the Anonymous movement as a courageous stand against oppression, like when they compare themselves with the German White Rose movement who stood up to Nazi Germany in 1942. They don't realize that there is a HUGE difference between the two. The White Rose movement was that of a minority who put their life on the line against an oppressive majority. The Anonymous movement is that of a the majority stalking a minority.
