Via Defamer. Tom Cruise comes face to face with Scientology’s mortal enemy, a guy from Anonymous with a V for Vendetta mask. It’s unclear whether the mask-bearing vigilante was at the German premiere of Valkyrie to protest or not, but either way, watch the mere presence of Tom Cruise melt this man’s icy heart. By the end of the clip, Tom Cruise has turned the guy into nothing more than a squealing fan girl who’s just met their childhood crush for the first time in their short 12-year-old life. He’ll probably never wash that mask again. Unless his mom throws it in with the rest of the laundry tomorrow.

Katie Holmes made her big stage debut in the Broadway production of All My Sons. Tom Cruise showed up to cheer her on and steal her thunder. When Mr. Big Shot arrived, there was massive applause and before sitting, he “waved and bowed for the audience.” At the end of the show, Tom was the first to get up and give wild applause like his kid scored the winning goal at a soccer game.

Also making an appearance was the group Anonymous who showed up outside the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre to protest Scientology. They sported signs that read “Free Katie,” “Scientology is a cult” and “Scientology can suck my hairy balls.” I might have made that last one up. One demonstrator said:

“We are not boycotting Katie, we are not boycotting the play – we are protesting Scientology. It is evil. Scientology kills people. It follows you home at night. It is perverted.”

This makes sense. The only thing that can stop a bunch of crazy Scientologists are a bunch of crazy /b/tards. As you can see in the video below, Scientologists staged an anti-protest. They handed out fliers with a few protesters’ real names printed on them, harassed them and one even tried to start an altercation. At least they know how to fight back. Throw in a few “Your mom” jokes and put a dead fish or two in their heating ducts and they’ll have Anonymous cowering in no time.

The war between Anonymous and Scientology managed to receive mainstream coverage from NBC yesterday and true to fashion, Anon posted a response. Transcript under the cut. Instead of using a computerized voice to do the talking, they should get a phone sex operator to do the voice over. That way, I can listen to their plans to take down the cultish religion and get a boner at the same time.

Update: Anon released the Scientology manual. Torrent / Rapidshare. Highlights include,

Control = Income.

As any control we exert upon the public brings upon a better society, we are entirely justified in using control.

One must discover what is best for the applicant and then control him into obtaining it. Leaving it up to his “self-determinism” is really leaving it up to his reactive mind.

Free will is overrated anyway. Making my own decisions requires me to think. I hate doing that.

Dear News Organizations.

We have been watching your reporting of Anonymous’s Conflict with The Church of Scientology.

As you said. The so called, Church of Scientology, have actively misused copyright, and trademark law, in pursuit of its own agenda. They attempt, not only to subvert free speech, but to recklessly pervert justice to silence those who speak out against them.

We find it interesting that you did not mention the other objections in your news reporting.

The stifling and punishment of dissent. within the totalitarian organization of Scientology.

The numerous, alleged human rights violations. Such as the treatment and events that led to the deaths of victims of the cult such as Lisa McPherson.

This Cult is Nothing but a psychotically driven pyramid scheme.

Why are you. The news media. Afraid of discussing these matters?
It is your duty to report on these matters.
You are Failing in your Duty.

Their activities make them an affront to freedom.

Remember. All that is necessary. For the triumph of evil. Is that good men do nothing.

This information is Everywhere.

It is your Duty to expose it.

It is easy to find.

Google is your friend.

This is not Religious Persecution.
But the suppression of a powerful, criminal fascist regime.

It is left to Anonymous.
The Church has been declared Fair Game. It will be dismantled and destroyed.

“When Anonymous, sees an evil fascist brainwashing organization.
Anonymous knows, it has to help mankind. Because Anonymous knows that it is only Anonymous that can help.”

Members of the Church.
Anonymous is not your enemy.
The Church of Scientology is your enemy.
The Church has enslaved you.
Free Yourselves.

Change, does not roll in, on the wheels of inevitability.
But comes through continuous struggle.
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor.
It must be demanded by the oppressed.

Take it. Demand it.

We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not Forgive. We do not Forget.

This is only the beginning.
Expect us.
