“Anonymous” Cyber-Bullies & “Self-Styled Satanism”
Anonymous member and Youtube.com user “taxthecult13579” released the following video entitled “Scilons, this is what I think of you”:
A “Scilon” is what Anonymous members and Professional Anti-Scientologists like Tory Magoo and Mark Bunker call Scientologists. Name-calling is an important part of scapegoating and vilification; no persecution campaign would be possible without the use of dehumanizing labels.
It is ironic that Anonymous would invert a Scientology cross emblem since, historically speaking, “Satanists” never used inverted crosses because “Satanists” are largely fictional; prior to the nineteen sixties, they only existed in the imaginations of Christian propagandists. Until the Church of Satan opened it’s doors (gates?), there had never been any “official” guidelines as to what constituted “Satanism.” Therefore, most accounts of Satanists are actually those of “reverse-Christians.” Thus, the inverted crosses, the backwards prayers used in “Black Masses,” and other forms of sacrilege and blasphemy.
These “reverse-Christians” are generally regarded by the rest of society as misguided rebels seeking an outlet for their angst. Since it’s easier to get attention by being shocking and destructive, these self-styled Satanists begin to take pride in their roles and the fear they can create:
Similarly, many Anonymous members proudly bear the title “S.P.” which stands for “Suppressive Person.” Just as Christianity teaches about “unrepentant sinners” who are knowingly doing the work of the “devil,” which is to keep Christians from finding Christ, Scientology has defined it’s “devil,” the “Suppressive Person,” whose job it is to prevent Scientologists from reaching “Clear.”
Interestingly enough, there was a video on Youtube.com, which has since been removed for TOS violations, featuring an Anonymous member SODOMIZING HIMSELF WITH AN E-METER. Although I could not locate a copy of that video, I did find the following one, which an Anonymous member posted as a response to the E-METER SODOMY one. This indicates that they are fully aware of the need to be shocking to get a response:
Here’s a short, but very revealing, experiment for those who think I have taken this analogy too far:
1) Ask any “Self-Styled Satanist” to describe an average Christian.
2) Ask any self-proclaimed “S.P.” to describe an average Scientologist.
3) Ask any Christian to describe their beliefs.
4) Ask any Scientologist to describe their beliefs.
The obvious parallels suggest what many have known all along: Anonymous’ gripe with the Church of Scientology exists for the sole purpose of dressing up in creepy costumes, antagonizing outsiders, and sharing in whatever infamy belonging to a feared criminal gang may bring.
