Press Releases: Scientology Attempts to Censor Critical Book, "The Complex"

Motherthread: http://forums.whyweprotest.net/15-me...reasons-31435/

I'll get to work on a Press-release immediately (unless someone else wants to), but here is something I made for a possible Message to Scientology video.

Edit, proof-read, etc.

Hello, customers of Amazon. We are Anonymous.

A conspiracy to censor access to an important new book has been brought to our attention. This conspiracy is part of an ongoing campaign by the cult of Scientology to suppress information about its business activities and international operations.

Author John Duignan is a highly placed Scientology defector. His book called 'The Complex' is already making news around the world. It contains everything from first-hand accounts of the brainwashing tactics used by Scientology to control its members, an eyewitness report of the harsh treatments used in Scientology's private punitive labor facilities known as the "Rehabilitation Project Force", among many other examples of the brutal and vile treatment the cult extends to its members.

Scientology does not want you to hear John Duignan's story. Scientology wants you to remain blind to the damning information it contains. Scientology does not want you to buy this book.

By putting pressure on companies like Amazon, Scientology hopes to wipe this book from history. Following a meeting between Tom Cruise and senior Amazon executives on November Fifth in Seattle, Washington, Amazon has decided to make John Duignan's book unavailable to customers in the United Kingdom at this time.

Amazon's preferential treatment of the Church of Scientology is not unknown to us. We have also noticed that any unfavorable reviews of pro-Scientology books, including, but not limited to, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, are commonly deleted with no valid reason. The reasons Amazon gives for deleting these are vague, and are usually for Terms of Service violations that are rarely, if ever, consistent with the actual content in the review.

Scientology is well known for its aggressive, vindictive behaviour and its sinister attempts spanning decades to suppress factual records contributed by journalists and cult victims alike. Scientology recognizes the role of media corporations in the control of public information and actively targets celebrity recruitment in order to leverage and influence. Where soft methods are ineffective, Scientology uses legal threats and other terror tactics to coerce companies and individuals who would speak out.

This latest conspiracy to bury yet another detailed account of Scientology's inner workings is a mistake that Anonymous will bring to the public eye.

The sale of “The Complex” has been blocked to Amazon customers in the UK, but it may be bought online from Eason & Son in Ireland, who will ship worldwide, or directly through the book’s publisher, Merlin Publishing. Instructions for purchase are shown at the end of this video.

To the agents of Scientology behind this latest attempt at censorship, we say this. Your ceaseless, blatant attempts to defy free speech will not succeed. We observe you have failed to learn that knowledge is free. Expect your censorship and unswerving hypocrisy to be combated. By continuing to hide the plain truth about Scientology from the public, you achieve nothing but an escalation in demand for freely available information that exposes the facts about your abusive and obsessively secretive organization.

Anonymous is watching. Anonymous will continue to alert the public whenever you attempt to hide information that belongs in the public domain. You cannot hide from the internet.

Knowledge is free.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.

Scientology is a cult.
Get informed. Knowledge is free.

Let's see, we've done weather, a carnival, a city... a time-lapse of a glacier melting? That'd be kinda cool, and symbolic.
