Anonymity

GoddessAgainst Scientology.jpg

Though there has been much curiosity at the identity of anti-Scientology Crusaders Anonymous, I have yet to come across any concrete speculation. You know who is really well organized, well funded and dislikes Scientology? Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Has anyone seen Anonymous in the same room as those guys? Just saying. (Goddess image pictured above lifted from Warren Ellis, btw.)

While the identity/identities of Anonymous may never be known, I can link to a film whose director is known but whose website would suggest he had nothing to to with it. Do not watch The Bridge because Brett Hanover was a young man when he made it or because he disavowed the project within weeks of screening it. Watch it because it is a moving story about a woman's growing disillusionment with her beliefs and because this copy has yet to be yanked from YouTube (there is always this copy and this copy too just in case).

The brochure of the Indie Memphis film festival stated that The Bridge was the "first feature film" about the Church Of Scientology. While it is set against the background of the Church of Scientology and the Sea Org, the characters and situations depicted are fictional.

Yes, the characters and situations depicted are fictional.

I don't think anyone suspects Parker and Stone could possibly be the "leaders" of Anonymous - because they've been so outspoken about Scientology in the past.

Of course, that is the perfect alibi.

The most interesting point to me is learning Sea Org members are barred from internet access. Not only is it wonderfully apt for Anonymous to organize its counter-Scientology through YouTube and Facebook but this is to me a guarantee the organization will fail. It is not possible to be informed about the world without the internet, without sufficient, accurate information about the world Scientology cannot succeed. It is a question of time before the edifice collapses.
