I guess I'll choose to believe it's an inbred old knowledge. So I decided to found the

That's okay. Just say its name whenever you can.
Aargh!, man!

True, that. The Church of Scientology was started as a parody of the Church of the SubGeniusâ„¢. Or something.

Erm...not exactly. It's the other way around. The Church of the SubGeniusâ„¢, "Bob" Dobbs, et al., and etc., serve as "...an arguably postmodern mockery of organized religion, and a parody of controversial religious groups and cults, especially Scientology and Evangelicalism (evangelical, or fundamentalist, Protestantism, and "televangelism")..." according to the Wiki entry.

But SubGenius is older than scientology isn't it

Apparently Zappa was a bit of a SubGenius fan btw

Nope.

I clicked the link and searched for subgenius using the powerful search function built-in in my webbrowser, which - however - did not return any results. And I don't plan on turning the internet upside down to find that out, so didn't continue reading your site.

But that's why the help of friendly people like you's always appreciated to give some facts

Digging up an old thread, but...

Yes dear, I know it's the other way round. Hence the 'or something'.

My attempts at humour frequently go awry sorry.

ETA: www.xenu.net is a very good site IMO.

You are a Suppressive Person, Mr fiend, and we will fairgame you. What are your crimes?

Seriously, though, have you heard about the Macrab Confederacy? I may have spelled it wrong, but wow! Apparently the Scientologists are blaming Anonymous/Project Chanology on these guys, an ancient civilization that invented the income tax as a form of punishment and look exactly like the Blues Brothers. They operate stations on Mars which force dead souls into human bodies after brainwashing.

Seriously, what the fu.ck?!

I wish I had heard about this Anonymous / Project Chanology stuff before the fact rather than after it. Although I think the more militant anti-Scientology activites (such as DoS attacks on their web sites) might prove counter-productive, especially as it is likely to engender (even more of) a martyr-complex in the Scientologists themselves.

Hey, some Anonymous don't go in for the raids.. we're too lazy.
Seriously, no-one would believe that an international group of faceless geeks would be a threat, but you'd be surprised

Nicely done, in a WWII propaganda way.

For those who haven't seen it, this is a good introduction. I'm not involved at all with Anon, but I do think they've chosen a deserving target.

When I was a wee lad, still in high school (back in the early 90's), not yet of driving age, my first job was as a book shelver at a public library. It was the sort of job where you had very little supervision; consequently, when I would come across interesting books I would simply sit down and read them instead of working. One book I read in the stacks over a few days--I don't recall the title--was by Hubbard's son and another fella, and it was an expose of the Co$. It was pretty horrifying stuff. I would not mind at all if the Co$ is laid low by this, and some of the discussions I've seen indicate that Anon has gotten together with former members and other critics to make a full-court press, trying to get media coverage and government investigation/intervention in various countries. They've also claimed some surprises are coming in the next month or two. We'll see.

I've also had the misfortune to try and slog through some of Hubbard's fiction when I was a kid. Great googly-moogly was that awful.
