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. S
