| Advice for Anonymous |
 |
Hello Anonymous,
I have been watching your campaign against
Scientology since its inception and have been
impressed by your commitment and momentum in
building a movement to confront this quiet evil
that has for too long flown under the radar of the
common man. I am inspired by your creativity and
the speed and ease with which you have generated a
distributed network of activists and contributors.
But while I stand behind you, I cannot stand with
you. I am not Anonymous. I am known, and will be
known. I have created this identity to help
distinguish myself from your movement as I
endeavour to provide a perspective from outside
with an understanding from inside. Please do not
misconstrue my concerns and criticism as attacks
or attempts at subterfuge, as I only wish to
remind Anonymous of its goals and the utility of
its actions. You may consider me a super-ego, of
sorts, if that is not too grandiose a title to
bestow upon oneself.
Currently, there is much anticipation of the 10th
of February and rightly so. Street protests are an
excellent way of raising awareness of an issue and
demonstrating the strength of public opinion.
Guard yourselves, however, as so often the pretext
of "raising awareness" is used to justify
self-indulgent and ineffective protesting. How
many Facebook groups dedicated to solving one hot
button issue have used this same justification for
their ineffectual existence? How many groups that
you yourselves have mocked and raided? Remember
this after February 10th. Raising awareness and
adding to your ranks is important, but only if
there is something that comes after for these new
recruits to do.
Ensure that there are big plans for the period
following February 10th. Letter-writing campaigns.
Engagement with legislators. Set clear goals and
objectives that will have a meaningful impact on
the Church. This will allow Anonymous to stay on
target and also stay motivated, as it is able to
track its wins and progress toward wins. Develop
catchy anti-scientology slogans to attract public
attention. So far so many slogans have been about
Anonymous. Joe Public does not care, nor does he
need to, about Anonymous. He needs to care about
Scientology. Cater for this in your materials.
Similarly, do not forget your pledge that
Anonymous is attacking the institution of the
so-called Church, of Scientology and not the
followers of Scientology itself. Maybe an
exception will be made in Mr Cruise' case, in
light of his high profile, terrible films and role
in the corruption of the Fresh Prince. But for the
rank and file, remember that they, more than
anyone else, are the victims of this organisation.
Do not use the memory of Lisa McPherson, a
Scientologist unto death, as a cudgel to
intimidate or taunt these people. Read the links
provided with this message to educate yourself on
the nature of the "training" scientology recruits
endure, and the frustration and inadequacy many
feel as they "stall" and are forced to purchase
more and more sessions. These are scared, lonely
people, however aggressively they may act. Silence
the critics of your movement. Show that you are
not in this simply to justify a hormonal urge for
rebellion and destruction by reaching out to these
people. Care for them.
This may sound like a soft approach, but these
vulnerable individuals are the foundation upon
which the rotten tower stands. Crack that
foundation and the fissures will run right to the
top.
Valentine's day approaches. I recommend raids to
distribute Valentine's cards to scientologists as
they leave their centres. Naturally, you will sign
the cards as Anonymous, in the tradition of the
season. Also inscribe a message of comfort, or a
link to a website that may help these people by
letting them know that they are not alone, and
that we are working to help them.
In the coming times, the challenges you face and
the tasks you undertake my require you to be less
than Anonymous. Do not decieve yourselves, and do
not fear. While Scientology is indeed frivilously
litigious, it is not your anonymity that protects
you. It is your numbers. Just as your script
kiddies overwhealm their web presence, so your
activists will overwhealm their capacity to
prosecute. Do not forget that other name you call
yourself.
You are Legion. And that is your strength.
Do not forgive. Do not forget. I stand behind you.

| Quit Smoking Advice |
 |
These clips are from the BBC: Horizon documentary
series entitled "We Love Cigarettes". The advice
Allen Carr gives is pretty damn good, it convinced
me (a 5 year smoker) to quit cold turkey. It has
been a couple months now and I'm still going
strong.
Update:
It has been over one year since my last cigarette
and I have never been tempted to look back. I
really hope this simple advice has helped someone
else.
