Scientology Hackers Ask Pirates To Join Their War
Written by Ernesto on January 27, 2008Anonymous, a small group of scriptkiddies and high-level hackers started a war against the Church of Scientology this week. TorrentFreak managed to get an exclusive Q&A with the controversial group, in which they ask Pirates to join their fight.
In an attempt to punish Scientology for abusing copyright laws and brainwashing of its members, Anonymous launched a series of DDoS attacks to remove the Church from the Internet. It seems, however, like this this is only the beginning.
“We will continue our efforts to bring down Scientology, but we need the help and support of another Freedom fighting community, the pirates.” one of Anonymous’ members told TorrentFreak, and the group gave us the opportunity to ask a couple of more questions.
TorrentFreak: Can you briefly describe what “Project Chanology” is?
Anonymous: Project Chanology is the project to bring down Scientology. Nothing more, nothing less. Why that name? Well, we’re working from IRC ‘Channels’ against ‘Scientology’. Mix those words together and add the project in front, and you have it.
TorrentFreak: How did Anonymous start? and how many people take part in it?
Anonymous: Anonymous is an old group of friends. I don’t exactly know the date, but it has been raised by some friends who wanted to test out their hacking skills. Since then, they created Anonymous, and let it be open for anyone who wants to join. That made it into a new kind of hackers-group. It consists of two spheres. The outer sphere is for new people. They mostly are low-skilled and are “scriptkiddies”. Since they have a very good contact with the inner sphere (we’re all friends fast and easily), anyone is allowed to join the inner sphere of high-level hackers. This is a loose representation since it doesn’t fit always. But, this made it for sure into a group of scriptkiddies with the right tools and high-level hackers with the right skills.
TorrentFreak: What is your main motivation to ban Scientology from the Internet?
Anonymous: Scientology is a malicious organization. Here’s a YouTube clip that proves more. Also, they’re frequently taking off content from the Internet. Like a clip in which Cruise promotes Scientology too much, criticizing health science, etc… it would have brought Scientology in a bad situation. So they took it off all sites with an army of lawyers. This is censoring. This is bad. This is against Net Neutrality. This is taking away our freedom and our right to fight for that freedom.
TorrentFreak: Don’t you think your actions violate the freedom of speech?
Anonymous: It does violate the freedom of speech. Of course, we know that. But there should be a refinement. Anonymous fights for freedom of speech in a way they have always used, but a little bit rougher however. For a greater sake.
TorrentFreak: Do you see any parallels between your fight against Scientology and the conflicts between pirates and the entertainment industry?
Anonymous: Yes. Most of us are pirates too. We have no big money to start lawsuits. But the enemy, the MAFIAA and Scientology are both big companies. They misguide the law, they change the law. Scientology members have infiltrated in many governments. Just like the MAFIAA.
TorrentFreak: What is your ultimate goal for “Operation Chanology”?
Anonymous: Our ultimate goal is to let Scientology say in public that they are misleading many people. And that they are destroying the futures of many people.
TorrentFreak: How do you plan to accomplish this goal, apart from the DDoS attacks?
Anonymous: We have IRL raids in planning stage, we have real life protests and demonstrations coming up. We are infiltrating their networks with zip bombs. We are sentencing them.
TorrentFreak: You told us that you wanted the pirates to help you to free the Internet, how can people help?
Anonymous: People can help Anonymous by joining the IRC, get one of the DDoS tools and start firing the DoS. IRC is at irc.partyvan.org. Channels are #Target , #Lazer and #Xenu. There are also many local channels. They can also help us by joining protests, by telling other people about this, by telling their media, etc… The force of humanity will save many lives.
…
Update: As many already argued, it turns out that the person interviewed here is an Anonymous member from the “outer sphere”, who is not as informed as he appeared to be. Sorry.
“I know that I’m not as informed as the inner sphere. However, I had a source which I thought was from there, providing me many answers. He faked his status.
But we do not have one spokesperson. We do not have a leader.
We unite as one, divided by none.
Together, we will bring them down in their glory.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.”

This article misses the point.
[quote comment="274875"]People will take you more seriously when you show that your educated enough.[/quote]
“you’re” a dumbfuck.
Which is more stupid?
Scientology or 4chan?
This is the dilemma I face.
Fuck Scientology and the celebrity cult members like Cruise. We should all band together to wipe them out.
Cruise, you laughing jackass, I spit on your ‘Scientology’.
Have a look at this and see

“MAKE $50K - FAST & LEGAL”
Posted by dcwill43 on Aug-31-06 at 01:23 PM (PT)
Make $50,000 fast- perfectly legal! REALLY WORKS!
THIS IS NOT A JOKE…….IT REALLY WORKS…….I SWEAR!
Matthew Jenneson, Cleveland, Oh -”within 2 hours I had $400″
Do you need extra income ? Quickly and Legally ?
Do you have a PayPal Account ? ( if not, the set up takes under 5 minutes AND IT’S TOTALLY FREE !!! )
You could make up to $ 50,000 in one month’s time with more money coming in every month thereafter !
$ 50,000 in PayPal ?
That’s Right ! $ 50,000 dollars in your PayPal ACCOUNT, IT WAS PROVEN ON OPRAH and this system is COMPLETELY LEGAL !!!
You may have heard of this program ( or one like it ) on 20/20 or even in the Wall Street Journal.
$ 10 that’s all it takes. I’ll try to keep it short and sweet.
To get started just copy this whole page and paste it to edit it. Simply follow the instructions below and in 2 to 3 weeks, you will have as much as $ 50,000 in your PayPal account or even more.
Most people respond to this program because of the low investment ( $ 10 dollars ) and the high profit potential. There is no limit to the income you can generate from this ( you can do it over and over ). If you follow the instructions, you will reach thousands of people ! Honesty, Faith, and Intregrity make this system work.
I think everyone has heard of PayPal. Anyone with an e-mail address can join for FREE ! If you’re not already a PayPal user, the first thing you need to do is sign up.
Sign up for PayPal here http://www.paypal.com
It’s real easy to set up and it’s FREE !!! Just make sure you have a Business or Premier account or you may be subjected to a monthly income limitation which may slow this program down.
Send $ 5 to the first person on the list by using the paypal send money feature, and include in the e-mail: “Please add me to your list”. This keeps the program legal. Then send another $ 5 to the 5th person on the list, with an e-mail that says: “Thank you. I’ve joined”.
Remove the 1st e-mail address and place your address at the bottom. This moves the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, and the 5th into 4th.
DO NOT TRY TO PLACE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT WILL ONLY REACH THE PEOPLE YOU SEND IT TO, AND THEN YOUR NAME WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST !
If you do this the way it was designed, it will reach thousands by the time your name gets to the top.
REMEMBER TO SEND a $ 5.00 dollar donation to the 1st e-mail address and the message “PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR LIST”, and send an e-mail with the words “THANK YOU - I’VE JOINED” and the other $5.00 dollars to the 5th person.
This will help the 5th person to keep track of progress of the letter and continue to send out more e-mails. Here is the list:
1.) desaulles3@yahoo.com
2.) Justin3442@aim.com
3.) neuclaalum1@hotmail.com
4.) jhorton999@yahoo.com
5.) deeprules@hotmail.com
(Make sure it’s the same e-mail address that you used to open your PayPal account. This is the way you will receive your payment)
Now that you have paid the 1st and the 5th person and sent them both an e-mail ( via PayPal account ) and placed your e-mail address in the 5th place, then what you need to do is post your letter. You can post on craigslist.com, backpage.com, message boards and newsgroups (there are thousands) and you can even send an e-mail to your e-mail list. IT IS YOUR JOB AS THE 5TH PERSON ON THE LIST TO ENSURE THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 “THANK YOU. I’VE JOINED” replies.
The fifth person is the guardian of the system ! If there are not at least 20 replies then the 5th person will keep sending/posting the letter until there are.
MAKE SURE YOU SEND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE FIRST PERSON TO THANK THEM FOR WHEN THEY WERE THE GUARDIAN OF THE LETTER AND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE 5TH PERSON SO MORE EMAILS CONTINUE TO GO OUT !!!
Now the fun happens. We reap what we sow. Other people will see your posting and do the exact same thing, bringing you lots and lots of dollars !!! Seriously, it’s common sense - you do it and 25 or more people see and do the exact same thing and everyone wins !!!
You will recieve thanks AND THE SAME BLESSING. When your name is on the 1st slot, 8,000 to 15,000 people will send you $ 5.00 dollars ! Keep in mind the most you spend is $ 10 DOLLARS ! ( WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND ! )
********************
TESTIMONIALS:
Mary Gatters, Columbus, SC:
I only have one thing to say to you: OH MY GOD ! I sent out 142 copies total before 20 replied, like the instructions said. Then I went on a short vacation. When I got back, my account had over $ 32,000 dollars in it already and the money was still coming ! I’m still floating in air (especially with my new car). I thought the guardian system sounded cheesy, but now I realize it is the formula that makes this letter really work ! THANKS !
Richard Barrie, Boulder, CO:
I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my PayPal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $ 22,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account !
HERE ARE THE STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS AGAIN:
Step 1.
Set up your PayPal account, if you don’t already have one, and send the top name ( 1st person ) $ 5.00 dollars. DON’T FORGET to include “Please add me to your list”. This is important as it keeps the program legal.
Step 2.
Send the other $ 5.00 dollars and and a note stating “Thank you. I’ve joined” to the 5th name on the list.
Step 3.
Remove the top name, bump the other 4 names up one place each. Place your name in the bottom slot and you will receive a minimum of $ 100.00 for your efforts.
Step 4.
Keep sending/posting the letter until you receive 20 “Thank you, I’ve joined” replies in your mailbox.
That’s it, It’s that simple !
Please give it an honest effort, you will not be disappointed and will be very glad you did when it starts to work. Remember, all you are going to be out of pocket is about the cost of a couple of coffees with the opportunity of banking thousands of dollars into your PayPal account! Take the smallest risk of your life !!!! Take 10-20 minutes to work on this small project and reap the rewards !
so is Shityology dead yet?
@ sundaydriver
what did that have to do with anything?
sounds like a scam either way.
Ha! Enturbulator 009 started it all!

Anonymous Hackers Track Saboteur, Find and Punish the Wrong Guy on Wired
http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/01/anonymous-hac-1.html
Looks like Partyvan’s website is unreachable…
Scientology is not a religion. It is a corrupt corporation. It only has the “religion” title due to a loophole and their desire for tax exempt status (which they sued the IRS numerous times for, and during that period they were merely a business).
All other religions have done bad things in the past. This is well known because they DO NOT squelch free speech as we know it.
The only one that does is Scientology. They do so because they have no credibility, which is why they “always attack, never defend”.
They attack our right to speak freely.
Scientology does not respect the countries or people it exploits and must be annihilated for the corrupted abomination it is.
It might interest you there’s another Anonymous video up on YouTube. It seems they might have made their first misstep.
Here’s the vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiUqewgQqBI
Scientology is Hitler meets Fight Club! Tom Cruise is Adolf Durden?
Watch the Vids on Youtube about them. They Ambiguiously Make users and constantly Update everything. Very Presistant Group Of hackers. I would never trust one. Thise Sons of a Bitches Making fun of people all ova myspace.
um…wait…aren’t anons from the chan websites,that require them to stay anonymous? Not all of us are hackers… I’m an anon,and I can’t hack at all. Or are the anti-scientology anons different anons? I’m confuzzled ;_;
But either ways,I’ll keep fighting against the cult. FUCK YEAH XENU
You can trust us anons. In this war against scientology,many people have united and become anons–furfags,normal people,obese goth kids,probably even some famous people. There’s no way to know who is who,we’re all anonymous, a single entity. Anonymous started at 4chan dot org,a picture forum that requires everyone to stay anonymous. The rumour saying all of us can hack is bull feces,I can’t hack and as far as I know 4chan isn’t about hacking at all. It is,however,about lulz and raids. The war against scientology is a raid,and it will bring us many lulz to hear the BAWWWWWing of the scientofags once they have lost.
You talked to a failfag. He knows nothing. Disregard this interview and see if you can schedule one with the entirety of the IRC channel.
Silly naysayers.
Do not underestimate the power of Anon. You fear what you do not know, and for good reason.
