Namaste all,
the time has now come to take the fight to the enemy of freedom, the enemy of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and more... the enemy of free knowledge, the enemy of compassion and love.

they think they rule the internet... they are wrong.
do what you can.. do what your conscience permits but DO.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing ~burke

Namaste Vaj,
who thinks they rule the net? I don't.
Is there a true reason to be concerned. I mean yes, they are taking advantage of folks who willingly go to be taken advantage of. But are there not any number of groups doing the same?
Is not a frontal assault indicating there is a need for a frontal assault?

Woo. That's such an out of character post for Vajradhara. Weird conspiracy theories and lots of swearing. Who knew?
I've just taken a look around that weird wiki. What the hell? I don't get it. Does not make sense. Does not c0mput3. What is behind such a strange expenditure of time and energy: paranoia, delusion, or just plain boredom?
Vaj, please explain. I think maybe your account has been hacked?

Re: Feb 10, 2008
Namaste Vaj...
One of my basic tenets of life is that any self-evident crap and otherwise mendaciously oriented materials that one gives his/her attention to is automatically justified by the amount of attention given to it. That is the essence of hate mongering, and frankly I'm surprised that you posted this. Besides, the broken cross is not rotating in a logical manner. The right-bent arms denote counter-clockwise rotation and not clockwise rotation. Confusing, eh ?
Confusion is the essence of hate and manipulation. You been samplin' any Mason Jars of clear liquid down thar in Tennessee ? Nevertheless you've got me interested enough to watch the events of 2/10/08 more closely then usual.
flow....

$cientology and it's army of litigators that quash and remove any negative material on the internet to prevent free and open discussion of their ideas.

i am not Anonymous nor is it my wiki site it is, however, a site that one can use as a resource to help to keep the internet free.
Knowledge is Free and those that try to suppress it and charge for it should be opposed. those that would clear the planet of all non believers should be opposed at every opportunity.
i'm not a good Buddhist.

Re: Feb 10, 2008
Hi Vaj,
I am going to be at the protest outside their Edinburgh centre on Saturday.
I will make up the usual placard but am unsure what to say on it. So far my best one is "Thetans demand Fair Cut of Royalties".
Anyone got any other suggestions?

Knowledge is Free!
and some that would appeal directly to the $cientology folks:
RTC is squirreling the Source Tech!

Namaste Vaj:
Of course you know I was just kidding about the "moonshine in the jar" perspective. I know you're complex as are we all. I was quite baffled by all this until I ran across this this morning. Thanks.

Re: Feb 10, 2008
It all seems so silly to me, a collosal waste of time. I would imagine some of the goofy Anonyomous people recognize it as such. So scientoligists have weird beliefs. So what? Christians have weird beliefs, too, if you ask me. So scientology is expensive. So what? Christianity can be expensive, too, and so can buddhist retreats. The expenses of religions are often hidden, too; finanical expenses might be the least of the problems that someone who is dogmatically and whole-heartedly (and 2% brain-edly) invested in any religion might be suffering from. There's the time sink (like this website for me, but that's another tangent) and the constriction of creativity, intellectual potential, and even moral strength that comes from near blindly following any system.
I feel like, if you're going to go after a religion, why go for the small fries like scientology? So Tom Cruise is an egomaniac. Mike Huckabee, Tim Lahaye, and Jerry Jenkins are equally as queer in their own ways. The emasculated asexual sacrificial token cult known as christianity has been a worldwide dominator for many more years than scientology has even been on the scene. I say we go after them.

Re: Feb 10, 2008
I am going for two reasons. One broad and complex, the other simple.
The first is that i do not believe scientology can be called a religion. It does not have any semblance of a purpose other than brainwashing for profit. And most importantly of all it has a policy to destroy YOU if you criticise it. Such organisations should not be legal and most certainly should not enjoy the tax and other legal exemptions it gets under the status of a religious organisation. It is a patently and obviously fraudulent organisation and should be pursued relentlessly to its death.
The second reason I am going is that I am always up for a giggle!!

When I hear the word bushido, the samurai comes to mind. I remember reading from a history book about Japan a few years back about how Zen Buddhism turned Japanese samurai into powerful, fanatical warriors. I don't know how fighting fits in with Buddhism, other than them using Zen Buddhism. If you know anything about how it works Paladin, I'd be interested to know.
So Vaj, who do you live and die for? Who is your Lord?
