War on Scientology?

ByMatt Raub

Anybody who knows their ear from their elbow when it comes to the world and how ridiculous some of us can be knows how creepy the world of Scientology can be. Those who are unaware of this wacky world and missed the episode of South Park that explained it all, it’s a religion based on the writings of famed science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard and is practiced in nearly 5,000 churches by some of the most powerful people in the world in over 100 countries.

And of course, with how open and freely accessible the Internet is, there will always be people with two cents that scream up and down about how evil and/or crazy this religion and its followers may be. While most videos and news pieces posted online against the Church of Scientology can be categorized as hogwash and petty, one-sided arguments, a new group calling themselves “Anonymous” is making quite the ruckus against the church and some of its biggest followers.
 
It all started when a video was “leaked” onto YouTube of Tom Cruise in an interview talking about his beliefs and practices with the church. The video was taken down several times after complaints from the church stating the content infringed upon their copyrights. That didn’t seem to stop some users, case in point

 
Finally, in an email sent to CNET, the group informs on unspecified action against the church at 11am on February 10th in such cities as New York, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Montreal, Houston, and London. Some speculate it’s merely a peace protest, but with creepy videos like we’ve seen, I’m not entirely sure what to expect. As many of you may be feeling out there, I’m both excited and terrified to see what will happen next. 
 
As usual, we’ll keep updates rolling in as they come.
