FBI alerted after death threats to Cruise and family | Mail Online

Looks like scientology is making another push to paint us as terrorist hatemongers.

Needs 'poons! Points to emphasize:
1) Despite our anonymity, we have *complete transparency*. Anyone can join our sites and see what we're up to. The COS has *no* transparency.
2) We have been protesting for a year with no violence or attacks by anons.
3) Scientology's history of framing critics (talk about Keith Henson as his case is now being appealed; mention Paulette Cooper, etc)
4) Scientology has tried painting us as terrorist hatemongers before (anthrax hoax, bomb threat hoax). Cite CNN interview where the journalist asserts that the FBI does not consider us a threat.
5) Speculation that Scientology may be threatening cruise and telling him it's us; they may be duping him. Cruise might actually have genuine fear; but that fear is caused by the Scientologists. This is an important point; many scilons who call the cops or run away from us ARE genuinely afraid - their fear, however, is not justified. The COS is encouraging and fostering those fears, so they can point to the genuine fear and say 'see how they terrorize our members?' For example, if I raise a child to believe that Santa Clause is a rapist, he'll be wary of the mall around christmas. If a santa clause then approached the child, I could accuse the santa clause of terrorizing my child, even though it is I who created the scenario.
6) EMPHASIZE THAT WE ARE NONVIOLENT AND MEAN NO HARM; our goal is to resist and protest the injustices perpetrated by the COS.
7) Expect lazy journalists to cite the 'at least 4 anons are facing criminal prosecution' stat (Gregg, AGP, OA, and that DDoSer that none of us had heard of before the story broke). Be prepared to give details on this, and turn it around to be further proof that Scientology does everything they can to destroy their critics by framing them or prosecuting them on bullshit. Cite Henson again.

Probably just the typical scientological paranoia. Davey probably has Tom pretty worked up over the valkyrie failure, and possibly even forged a few threats just to keep Tom under his wing.

Is this why his robo-wife is parading around in public all the time?

BigButterJesus

Alright, who has de bombs? Xenu, that you?

"The couple now live at separate locations and move around in bomb-proof vehicles."

Oh, wait, de movie bomb...does that count?

I think tom cruise is hot.

In a gay kind of way.

$10 says "a source close to the star" is Tom Newton

Hubbard-Telescope

We don't have to justify or explain. All we have to do is say that Scientology also said the BBC sent them death threats and made terrorist threats against their people and organization. Yup, me and the BBC. We're pretty scary there. lol

Skeptic1337

And we both think TC is one hot piece of ass.

Don't forget that.

Anonynamefag

Yeah. BBC, Keith Henson, Paulette Cooper, not to mention all of the times they cried wolf at our protests... Anyone who takes this story seriously is an idiot.

This is obviously a person in great fear:

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise were spotted out in New York City after Christmas

Anonynamefag

Lmao.Fail cult is fail.

mrfyde

Well I hope that the scientologists that are scaring tom get V&

(and by v& i mean brought to justice)

exOT8Michael

It looks like the article is a desperate attempt to get attention now that the film bombed all by itself which means TC gets ignored beyond what his ego can stand?

blah

WHAT FAGORTY IS THIS!?
