Vanilla Ice Join Scientology
Vanilla Ice has become the latest celebrity to be drawn to the teachings of the Church of Scientology.
Pedobear
An anti-Anonymous activist had been busy making serial posts in ARS denouncing anonymous culture as promoting pedophilia. Some of his claims can also be found on his blog, here, here, and here. He used several pages from Encylopedia Britanica to substantiate his claims. After copious insults, attacks and rationalizations, Anonymous finally removed the pics. Go on the ARS post and try to click the links. You'll get a 404. These pics, however, can still be found on the pedobear page. Funny enough, one of the rationalization used by anon was that the girl on this page obviously looks over 20. What do you think? To me, she looks around 10 or below. Strange how rationalization can even influence perceptions!

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.
