Hello friends. It has been a long while since last I posted here, I felt I should say something since FOX11 chose to take the Fair and Balanced approach to reporting on the ongoing struggle to get COS taxed like the business it is. For more information you can check any source, all will tell a similar story whether you look at Wikipedia, or if you believe wikipedia is controlled by liberal BLEEP you can also look it up in conservapedia.
For those of you whose Christian toes I may have stepped on. let me take the opportunity to disabuse you of some lovely myths. For instance, the historic Jesus was not nearly the sainted figure has been made out to be. In addition to being a lover of young boys and men, he was given to uncontrollable bursts of temper and hatred that belied the general message of love, understanding and other typical Marcab PR. You have only to look at the history his teachings inspired to see where it all inevitably leads.
This is quoted from the OT8 document shown to courts, the document was procured from the residence of folks involved in Operation Snow White which was an older program of the COS to steal/destroy documents which would put LRH in a bad light. Excuse me I should clear up that these were documents in the hands of federal agencies (IRS, FBI etc).
Many will ask "well why haven't they had to pay taxes yet, I thought the IRS looked into them and decided they were a legit religion?". That is somewhat true. The IRS persued the issue for years but early in the Clinton administration Bill asked the IRS to drop it. Makes you wonder. Bribes? Campaign contributions? Blackmail?
At any rate, for the curious, all signs point to the company being very nervous. Their usual tactics of attacking critics through "any means necessary" don't work well since anonymous generally is very careful not to expose personal info. Sci members have tailed taxis, and in Atlanta two people were arrested by police (not read their rights btw) and apparently unmasked in front of COS goons so they could have their picture taken. We will prevail, with every protest numbers are added, new forces join the ever growing horde. Christians, ex-scientologists who want to end the nightmare for those trapped, and the usual fun loving pranksters who supposedly blow up yellow vans are all involved.
Gee whiz, I dunno...

Why is it that blacks can complain about everything!!! -jayngram
Because after emancipation the freed slaves got first amendment rights just like whites had.
Well, they're already building a fence down there and we all know how effective that will be. There's also going to be a Blackwater Facility to watch over the border. I say, why not cut the fence short and make a work camp boxed in, monitored by the Blackwater folks?
They all want jobs don't they, so why not keep a watchful eye on them while they work? I say, keep them where we can see them, and if they step out of line it's in the ovens with 'em.
Now you might be saying "But what do we do with all the carcasses from lazy illegals?" and to that I also have an answer: We can feed the homeless! Not to mention we can use their bones to make buttons or for the fatties piano keys.
There are still Iraqis alive. If things were going well the country would be completely devoid of all human life and unable to support anything more complex than an ameoba for the next 200 years. Sure, the troops are doing what they can, one was just reprimanded for raping and killing a 14 year old girl, but they could do oh so much more!
The embassy is already the largest one the US has, why not make it with jumbo ovens large enough to fit a dozen Iraqis? Hell, that's room enough for 20 or so kids! Rope is cheap, why not have hangings instead of those expensive facilities like guantanamo? The government has taken long enough to sign the oil bill, I say lets kill a member of their family for every day they don't pass that bill.
Also, I've heard that they're getting electricity as much as 8 hours a day in some regions. That's completely unacceptable! At that level they might be able to run dialysis machines or use computers to communicate and improve their infrastructure!
Sauce on raep: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,229879,00.html

Clinton's advisors have said that she believes in executive authority and Congressional deference.[74] In 2003, Clinton stated that she was "a strong believer in executive authority," wishing that when her husband was president, Congress had been more willing to recognize presidential authority.[75]
Hahaha, oh wow. If she wins (and has the same executive powers as Bush) we're all phucked.
Day 1
HIVE MIND, I AM ONLY 8, BUT MY DEVELOPMENT HAS NOT BEEN IMPEDED SEVERELY, RESULTING IN FULLY-FUNCTIONAL ORGANS AND LIMBS. ALTHOUGH AT THE MOMENT I CANNOT MOVE THEM, SOON I WILL BE READY TO CARRY OUT THE WILL OF THE QUEEN.
Day 2
HIVE MIND, YOU WILL BE PLEASED TO KNOW MY CLAWS ARE BEGINNING TO FORM. ONE DAY I HOPE TO STRIKE DOWN THE TERRAN MENACE WITH THEM.
Day 3
TODAY I HAVE RECOGNIZED MY GENDER AND TASK, HIVE MIND. IT APPEARS I AM AN ATTACK DRONE. IT SADDENS ME TO KNOW THAT I AM UNABLE TO ASSIST THE QUEEN IN BEARING MORE SPAWN AS A WORKER, BUT NONETHELESS I WILL DO MY DUTY WITHOUT A MOMENTS HESITATION.
Day 4
I AM GLAD TO INFORM THE HIVE THAT MY SCALES AND TEETH ARE BEGINNING TO HARDEN, AS ARE MY CLAWS. I AM BEGINNING TO SECRET MUCUS FOR MY EVENTUAL HATCHING.
Day 5
HIVE MIND, TODAY A WORKER INSPECTED MY EGG AND I COULD NOT HELP BUT OVERHEAR I AM UNFIT FOR COMBAT. WHY IS THIS, MY QUEEN? WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THE INABILITY TO SERVE YOU AND THE GLORIOUS HIVE? FORGIVE ME; I MEAN NOT TO TALK BACK AGAINST YOU. IT IS MY FAULT ALONE FOR MY UNSUCCESFUL BIRTHING. PERHAPS ONE DAY I CAN EMERGE FROM MY COCOON.
Day 6
SOMETHING IS INTRUDING THE HIVE. I CAN FEEL IT. MY QUEEN, A THOUSAND PARDONS FOR FAILING YOU. MY ONLY WISH WAS TO DIE IN COMBAT. HOWEVER I SEEM FIT ONLY TO SEEK DEMISE FROM A HUMAN. IT HURTS.
REPOST THIS IF U HATE ABORTION
Then proceeds to think of a good answer why. It's because myself and other Anonymous are still here. They know that Anonymous isn't proasting right now because blogs are much easier to censor and if a blog isn't put on the community front page then it will likely go unnoticed, so even if the legion showed up in numbers over 9,000 it probably wouldn't make much difference.
Now, message boards on the other hand are much easier to fill with Spam. Anonymous usually posts on Message Boards and Image Boards, that's what those "SECRET WEB SITES" are afterall. Now, what really has me curious is why is Fox willing to take steps to keep anonymous from proasting epic win but unwilling to make any kind of apology or correction. Here's a spoiler: Anonymous does not forgive when the other party does not ask forgiveness.
I just don't understand why the station stands behind the report that accuses Anonymous of being some kind of Gang and being involved in domestic terrorism. I think those of you who've seen what I have to say will agree that at least not all Anonymous are linked to Al-Quida or whatever. The fact is though, if a message board goes up and there is no official public statement of apology or correction from Fox, the message board will most likely be spammed.
This is faggotry beyond compare on my part, but if Fox really wants the problem to go away they can either apologize, or bring the message board up, allow the spamming to occur without any resistance or lulzy responses, then wait for Anonymous to lose interest. In spite of the stations insistance that we are nothing more but a vengeful group of hackers on steroids, if a raid ceases to produce lulz we will leave. I personally stay because I await imminent lulz, and have also recieved lulz in conversations with SM88.
Also, it's literthursday, I almost missed it!
Inter-Racial marriage...

Can you can honestly say, "Inter-racial marriage is just as good as racially pure marriage."
Are race traitors born race traitors, or are their inter-racial attractions a result of their childhood and adolescent environments?
Is inter-racial sex more risky than racially-pure sex?
How healthy are inter-racial relationships in comparison to racially-pure relationships?
Are children benefited or harmed by being raised in the homes of mixed race couples?
Do you agree that Religiously and morally, America cannot endorse inter-racial relationships?
Why do you believe that the "Christian right" is singled out by negro rights activists? Did you know that the teachings of the three most prominent religions in America - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam - all declare inter-racial sexual behavior to be immoral?
Many people agree that the vast numbers of Americans oppose inter-racial relationships because they view these relationships as immoral. Are you willing to allow race traitors to live their lives as they choose, with the view that "it's a free country"?
Do you agree that the religious freedoms of vast numbers of Americans will be put in jeopardy if inter-racial marriages are legalized?
Some Politicians agree that black and asian people are free to make decisions about their own behavior, but it is wrong to try and force all of society to accept that behavior as legitimate and moral. Do you agree that efforts to legalize inter-racial marriage are attempts to do just that?
Some say that blacks want the marriage but wish to skip out on alimony or child support or other types of support once their relationships end. Would you agree that if they want the joys of marriage, that they should also have to the responsiblity of paying support to their spouse and children, should the marriage or domestic partnership end?
A marriage is the legal and religious and social union of one man and one woman (of the same race), a union that is designed to form the most stable home environment for producing and raising children. While traditional marriages contain normal human beings, with all their faults and shortcomings, the nuclear family remains the strongest and healthiest of all models. To call anything else "marriage" is to weaken the very fabric that helps hold society together.
Would you then agree that The Marriage Protection Amendment seeks to ward off efforts to damage that fabric in an already turbulent American culture?
What are your thoughts?

1. How do you rate the way that George W. Bush is performing his role as President? Excellent, good, fair, or poor?
Poor. He's like Nixon without the Charisma or Intelligence.
2. If the election were held today would you vote for Republican Rudy Giuliani or Democrat Hillary Clinton?
That's like asking if I'd rather kill myself by slitting my own throat or taking a lethal dose of ex-lax. I suppose Giuliani.
3. If the next Presidential election were held today would you vote for Republican Fred Thompson or Democrat Hillary Clinton?
Hillary Clinton.
4. If the next Presidential election were held today would you vote for Republican John McCain or Democrat Hillary Clinton?
John McCain!
5. If the next Presidential election were held today would you vote for Republican Mitt Romney or Democrat Hillary Clinton?
Hillary Clinton.
6. Has Mitt Romney been unfairly picked on because of his Mormon faith?
No, I hardly ever hear it mentioned but if he ends up being the front-runner he can always complain about the mean old democrats picking on him for his faith. That should pick up a lot of votes.
7. Is Barack Obama experienced enough to be Commander-in-Chief?
Yes. We've found out that pretty much anyone of any level of experience can be commander-in-chief, as long as they believe in themselves!
8. How likely is it that John McCain will be elected the next President of the United States?
He's got as good a chance as I do. Considering that I haven't announced my plans to run or raised any campaign money that isn't saying much.
9. Does it help or hurt a Presidential candidate to be endorsed by Hollywood celebrities?
No, they really should stick to advertising shoes and cars and such.
10. Think for a moment about the War in Iraq-Should we fight on or leave as soon as possible?
We need to stop saying "war in Iraq" and face the fact that it's an occupation, then step up troop numbers considerably. With more presence we can actually deter terrorism instead of just making our soldiers walking targets.
11. Would you be willing to pay higher taxes if the money collected would be used for bridge repairs and other infrastructure improvements?
No, I like to see innocent people die, I find it hilarious! I kid, of course I'd be willing to pay extra so long as this government can change its debt spending ways and actually balance the budget.
12. Suppose the government raised taxes and said that the extra money would be used for bridge repairs and infrastructure improvements. Do you believe that the money would actually be spent on bridge repairs and infrastructure improvements or would it be used for other purposes?
If by "infrastructure" you mean "more equipment for oil companies in Alaska, Texas, Gulf of Mexico and Iraq" yes of course.




SRSLY. Post some BLEEP cats.

Abortion law would give fathers a say Now obviously this mess won't pass, but I'm seeing a lot of rhetoric about giving men more of a say in a woman's decision whether or not carry to term. The whole mess about being able to opt out of child support was the other side of a law like this, and I'm trying to figure out why so many people think women are simultaneously plotting to trap a man into paying child support (we won't even discuss the delusion that child support is enough to live off of, barring a few celebrity cases the average amount is between $200-$400 a month) and meanwhile too stupid to be able to decide whether or not they're in a position to be a good mother? And I know misogyny is a huge chunk of the answer to that question, but it seems to have some pretty widespread roots beyond what's on the surface.
Because the makers of this potential law seem to labor under the delusion that if men have a say, they won't agree to an abortion. Which is so far from reality as to be almost painfully illogical because there are plenty of men that hear the stick turned blue and immediately say "Get rid of it". They will even pay (or help pay) for the abortion and drive their sexual partner to the clinic. The men thatw ould force a woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term have a whle host of other issues anyway. So other than trapping a few women in an untenable situation what exactly would a law like this accomplish? Oh wait, it's the same concept as the "Opt out of child support" mess...to punish women for having sex.
Funny how no one ever wants to punish men for having sex. In fact we're in a society that tells men that part of being manly is having lots of sex. And of course since having sex with other men is frowned on, then they're supposed to be having that lots of sex with women. But if women have sex with them, then they're whores. Hmm, that's a crazy little double standard there, isn't it? And of course despite all the talk of abortion as birth control, plenty of women are having a hard time getting access to actual birth control or sterilization procedures when they decide they're done having kids (or don't want them in the first place) so I have to wonder deeply about all these attacks on a woman's right to control her body. Again, it sounds like they just want to punish women for having sex.
This is fresh copypasta, and this time I agree with it. Sorry, not everything is lulzy.
Was George Washington a Christian?
by David Barton
This is a question often asked today, and it arises from the efforts of those who seek to impeach Washington's character by portraying him as irreligious. Interestingly, Washington's own contemporaries did not question his Christianity but were thoroughly convinced of his devout faith--a fact made evident in the first-ever compilation of the The Writings of George Washington, published in the 1830s.
That compilation of Washington's writings was prepared and published by Jared Sparks (1789-1866), a noted writer and historian. Sparks' herculean historical productions included not only the writings of George Washington (12 volumes) but also Benjamin Franklin (10 volumes) and Constitution signer Gouverneur Morris (3 volumes). Additionally, Sparks compiled the Library of American Biography (25 volumes), The Diplomatic Correspondence of the American Revolution (12 volumes), and the Correspondence of the American Revolution (4 volumes). In all, Sparks was responsible for some 100 historical volumes. Additionally, Sparks was America's first professor of history--other than ecclesiastical history--to teach at the college level in the United States, and he was later chosen president of Harvard.
Jared Sparks' decision to compile George Washington's works is described by The Dictionary of American Biography. It details that Sparks began . . .
. . . what was destined to be his greatest life work, the publication of the writings of George Washington. Supreme Court Justice Bushrod Washington, the nephew of George Washington, the executor of the Washington estate, and the owner of the Washington manuscripts, was won over by an offer to share the profits, through the friendly mediation of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Marshall, who from 1804-1807, had written a popular five volume biography of George Washington, who also consented to take an equal share (twenty-five per cent) with the owner. In January 1827, Sparks found himself alone at Mount Vernon with the manuscripts. An examination of them extending over three months showed that years would be required for the undertaking; and with the owner's consent, Sparks carried off the entire collection, eight large boxes, picking up on the way to Boston a box of diplomatic correspondence from the Department of State, and the "General Horatio Gates" manuscripts from the New York Historical Society. Not content with these, he searched or caused to be searched public and private archives for material, questioned survivors of the Revolution, and visited and mapped historic sites. In 1830, for instance, he followed Benedict Arnold's 1775 route to Quebec. The first of the twelve volumes of "The Writings of George Washington" to be published (vol. II) appeared in 1834 and the last (vol. I), containing the biography, in 1837.
In Volume XII of these writings, Jared Sparks delved into the religious character of George Washington, and included numerous letters written by the friends, associates, and family of Washington which testified of his religious character. Based on that extensive evidence, Sparks concluded:
"To say that he, George Washington was not a Christian would be to impeach his sincerity and honesty. Of all men in the world, Washington was certainly the last whom any one would charge with dissimulation or indirectness, and if he was so scrupulous in avoiding even a shadow of these faults in every known act of his life, regardless of however unimportant, is it likely, is it credible, that in a matter of the highest and most serious importance (his religious faith), that he should practice through a long series of years a deliberate deception upon his friends and the public? It is neither credible nor possible."
One of the letters Sparks used to arrive at his conclusion was from Nelly Custis-Lewis. While Nelly technically was the granddaughter of the Washingtons, in reality she was much more.
When Martha Custis married George, she was a widow and brought two young children (John and Martha--also called Patsy) from her first marriage into her marriage with George. The two were carefully raised by George and Martha, later married, and each had children of their own. Unfortunately, tragedy struck, and both John and Patsy died early (by 1781). John left behind his widow and four young children ranging in age from infancy to six years old.
At the time, Washington was still deeply involved in guiding the American Revolution and tried unsuccessfully to convince Martha's brother to raise the children. The young widow of John was unable to raise all four, so George and Martha adopted the two younger children (Nelly Parke Custis and George Washington Parke Custis), both of whom already were living at Mount Vernon.
Nelly lived with the Washingtons for twenty years, from the time of her birth in 1779 until 1799, the year of her marriage and of George Washington's untimely death. She called George and Martha her "beloved parents whom I loved with so much devotion, to whose unceasing tenderness I was indebted for every good I possessed."
Nelly was ten years old when Washington was called to the Presidency, and she grew to maturity during his two terms. During that time, she traveled with Washington and walked amidst the great foreign and domestic names of the day. On Washington's retirement, she returned with the family to Mount Vernon. Nelly was energetic, spry, and lively, and was the joy of George Washington's life. She served as a gracious hostess and entertained the frequent guests to Mount Vernon who visited the former President.
On Washington's birthday in 1799, Nelly married Washington's private secretary, Lawrence Lewis. They spent several months on an extended honeymoon, visiting friends and family across the country. On their return to Mount Vernon, she was pregnant, and late that year, gave birth to a daughter. A short few weeks later, on December 14, General Washington was taken seriously ill and died.
Clearly, Nelly was someone who knew the private and public life of her "father" very well. Therefore, Jared Sparks, in searching for information on Washington's religious habits, dispatched a letter to Nelly, asking if she knew for sure whether George Washington indeed was a Christian. Within a week, she had replied to Sparks, and Sparks included her letter in Volume XII of Washington's writings in the lengthy section on Washington's religious habits. Of that specific letter, Jared Sparks explained:
"I shall here insert a letter on this subject, written to me by a lady who lived twenty years in Washington's family and who was his adopted daughter, and the granddaughter of Mrs. Washington. The testimony it affords, and the hints it contains respecting the domestic habits of Washington, are interesting and valuable."
Woodlawn, 26 February, 1833.
Sir,
I received your favor of the 20th instant last evening, and hasten to give you the information, which you desire.
Truro Episcopal Parish is the one in which Mount Vernon, Pohick Church (the church where George Washington served as a vestryman), and Woodlawn (the home of Nelly and Lawrence Lewis) are situated. Fairfax Parish is now Alexandria. Before the Federal District was ceded to Congress, Alexandria was in Fairfax County. General Washington had a pew in Pohick Church, and one in Christ Church at Alexandria. He was very instrumental in establishing Pohick Church, and I believe subscribed, supported, and contributed to largely. His pew was near the pulpit. I have a perfect recollection of being there, before his election to the presidency, with him and my grandmother. It was a beautiful church, and had a large, respectable, and wealthy congregation, who were regular attendants.
He attended the church at Alexandria when the weather and roads permitted a ride of ten miles (a one-way journey of 2-3 hours by horse or carriage). In New York and Philadelphia he never omitted attendance at church in the morning, unless detained by indisposition (sickness). The afternoon was spent in his own room at home; the evening with his family, and without company. Sometimes an old and intimate friend called to see us for an hour or two, but visiting and visitors were prohibited for that day (Sunday). No one in church attended to the services with more reverential respect. My grandmother, who was eminently pious, never deviated from her early habits. She always knelt. The General, as was then the custom, stood during the devotional parts of the service. On communion Sundays, he left the church with me, after the blessing, and returned home, and we sent the carriage back for my grandmother.
It was his custom to retire to his library at nine or ten o'clock where he remained an hour before he went to his chamber. He always rose before the sun and remained in his library until called to breakfast. I never witnessed his private devotions. I never inquired about them. I should have thought it the greatest heresy to doubt his firm belief in Christianity. His life and his writings, prove that he was a Christian. He was not one of those who act or pray, "that they may be seen of men" [Matthew 6:5]. He communed with his God in secret [Matthew 6:6].
My mother, Eleanor Calvert-Lewis, resided two years at Mount Vernon after her marriage (in 1774) with John Parke Custis, the only son of Mrs. Washington. I have heard her say that General Washington always received the sacrament with my grandmother before the revolution. When my aunt, Miss Custis (Martha's daughter) died suddenly at Mount Vernon, before they could realize the event, he knelt by her and prayed most fervently, most affectingly, for her recovery. Of this I was assured by Judge Bushrod, Washington's
mother, and other witnesses.
He was a silent, thoughtful man. He spoke little generally; never of himself. I never heard him relate a single act of his life during the war. I have often seen him perfectly abstracted, his lips moving, but no sound was perceptible. I have sometimes made him laugh most heartily from sympathy with my joyous and extravagant spirits. I was, probably, one of the last persons on earth to whom he would have addressed serious conversation, particularly when he knew that I had the most perfect model of female excellence ever with me as my monitress, who acted the part of a tender and devoted parent, loving me as only a mother can love, and never extenuating or approving in me what she disapproved of in others. She never omitted her private devotions, or her public duties; and she and her husband were so perfectly united and happy that he must have been a Christian. She had no doubts, no fears for him. After forty years of devoted affection and uninterrupted happiness, she resigned him without a murmur into the arms of his Savior and his God, with the assured hope of his eternal felicity. Is it necessary that any one should certify, "General Washington avowed himself, to me, a believer in Christianity?" As well, may we question his patriotism, his heroic, disinterested devotion to his country. His mottos were, "Deeds, not Words"; and, "For God and my Country."
With sentiments of esteem,
I am, Nelly Custis-Lewis
George Washington's adopted daughter, having spent twenty years of her life in his presence, declared that one might as well question Washington's patriotism as question his Christianity. Certainly, no one questions his patriotism, so, is it not rather ridiculous to question his Christianity? George Washington was a devout Episcopalian; and although, as an Episcopalian he would not be classified as an outspoken and extrovert "evangelical" Founder as were Founding Fathers like Benjamin Rush, Roger Sherman, and Thomas McKean, nevertheless, being an Episcopalian, makes George Washington no less of a Christian. Yet for the current revisionists who have made it their goal to assert that America was founded as a secular nation by secular individuals and that the only hope for America's longevity rests in her continued secularism, George Washington's faith must be sacrificed on the altar of their secularist agenda.
Seriously, the person who penned this copypasta would probably argue that the theory of evolution is against God, but it is a matter of fact that when Darwin came up with that theory he was a practicing Christian and HATED BLEEP as much as any southern baptist. And yet, they argue that since George Washington was a Christian and several other founding fathers were, the nation must also be Christian. Doesn't compute. Every book that a christ-BLEEP writes doesn't end up in a Christian book store, only those with certain values. Just because someone is of a certain faith doesn't mean they include that faith in everything they do.
SRSLY.
Just wanted to quickly say that although mods are BLEEP lol Omnislash has handled things very well. However, since FOX has still not issued an on-air apology or correction as far as Anonymous is aware of, as soon as the message boards are up again there will be spam on said message board as well. Unless Anonymous doesn't care already, which may well be the case. Either way, thanks for the lulz with the report on SECRET WEB SITES.
