I don’t know if you have been following, but the war between Anonymous and Scientology is in full swing. Anonymous staged world-wide protests of Scientology’s churches on February 10th, to varying amounts of success. While I feel that things have certainly escalated rather quickly, I must say that I am very impressed at Anonymous’ ability to unite people from all over the world in a common cause, and then have [...] [...] Career Ramblings wrote an interesting post today on There’s Money in Controversey: ScientologyHere’s a quick excerpt Oh my, how so many can get up in arms about something they know nothing about.

It's a very, very damaging video. 2) Scientology makes lawsuit threats to the websites that are hosting the video. 3) Anonymous declares war. 4) Attacks over the internet, fax and telephone lines down Scientology offices all over the world 5) Anonymous gains the attention of various media outlets. It then begins spreading internet Scientology documents that, for the followers of the group, cost thousands of dollars to gain access to. 5) Anonymous organizes RL raids (real life raids), which are protests and marches. These occured world-wide. Cliff Notes: Protesting has changed forever. Gone are the days of concerts, riots, and violent protests. The internet is the new front, and its inhabitants happen to encircle the world. I’ve been following this “war” closely and I believe I’ve got a decent chronological turn of events:
