To the Public and Anybody Investigating The Anthrax Hoax

Recently a group of buildings in California associated with the "Church" of Scientology claimed to have recieved envelopes in the mail that contained a "mysterious, white powdery substance". The powder was found to be harmless and no people exposed to it suffered any damage to their health. However, the implications behind such a report may cause people to believe that Anonymous is "responsible" for this attack on the Church.

The media is once again misrepresenting the truth by unbalanced reporting. The "Church" of Scientology, with its wealthy supporters, may even be encouraging these incorrect portrayals. After all, they say that Anonymous is a bunch of "computer nerds" (which is untrue) that they are not afraid of.

Anonymous does not work like most organizations you have come across before, and therefore your common understanding of "responsibility" cannot logically be applied to us. Anonymous should not be thought of as a single entity, with a focus on a single path to a single goal - there is no hierarchy; there are no order-givers or order-takers. Rather, we work as individuals or as small groups, getting our ideas about what to do by communicating with each other.

Whoever did this was a small group who made their own choice for their own actions, and they are the ones who are responsible. They may not even be Anonymous (they might even have been a plant by the "Church" of Scientology as black propaganda); we do not know, and by the nature of our organization, cannot know.

However, be assured that the vast majority of us have not attempted to organize any actions which will cause physical or mental damage to any persons. This is indeed self-evident, if you will look past the distortions of the media - because out of the many (estimate: hundreds of) thousands of us participating in this project, the media has only managed to produce ONE report of such an action.

Perhaps move the "Handling the Handlers" section somewhere else? There's a lot of good shit in there and it's definitely worth peoples reading but the message area just doesn't really suit it anymore? 217.114.211.20

[edit] media message

the below message is too limiting, it tries to constrict "anonymous" into something which doesn't encompass everyone Anonymous. Rambaldi 08:54, 31 January 2008 (PST)

-- The problem is this: [1] > resulting from this > [2]

And please see discussion in this thread for details about how someone in there is in contact with the writer of the globalincidentmap.com report. They are looking for an 'offical' statement fast... [3]

the only possible official statement that can be given is "THERE IS NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT". Anonymous is not a single entity. I've written an explanation of this, it's on the Project Chanology page. submit that if you want. Rambaldi 10:57, 31 January 2008 (PST)
