Project Chanology

February 1st, 2008

The Project Chanology phenomenon is pretty interesting on a number of levels.  While primarily being the never-ending source of lulz that Anonymous never fails to deliver, it shows itself as being something potentially much greater.The organization of the Protest/’war’ on the Church of Scientology appears to be a non-centrally directed protest movement.  I don’t have the time to setup the Tor and irc bounce proxies needed to safely join the IRC channels, but everything on the web points to Anonymous truly functioning as a collective.The planned 2/10/2008 street protests will either definitely take it to a new level, or in their potential failure, will turn this fascinating phenomenon into just another Internet joke, attempting to get the lulz.  I’m following this story intently - I wonder if the late 200x’s will be like the 70’s, with a new generation of kids coming of age and starting to protest against a bunch of messed up crap…
