Media frenzy building up on Guy Fawkes day

It had been a fantastic week for Anonymous. Gawker has a front page story in which two peaceful protesters were assaulted at Hemet California, the home base of the Chief of Scientology. As usual, there were over 25,000 hits in a couple of hours, on a Sunday. I'm sure many readers will go to Hollywood Interrupted for more detailed pictures and videos of the incident.

Over the weekends, The Sun has a big story titled I'd have killed for Cruise cult. On it's printed version, there were a two page spread! Being the Sun, it means most of the Brits will hear and talk about it. Another British paper, Sunday something, has a 4 page spread in the printed version!

Scientology wasn't even trying to spin it off. However, the most popular anti-Scientology website, whyweprotest.net, was being attacked, along with it's sister site, scientology-exposed.com, went down Sunday night.

I don't think there will be something big in terms of protest on the 5th of November, or the weekend after. I'm sure the Brits will try to show them something. It's the day after presidential election in US. Anyway, there have been weekly random raids all over the world and the monthly global protest will be around mid Nov.
