Operation Vox Populi, Vox Dei

What was supposed to happen?

See also:Unrealistic expectations

He wants your boys!

The only higher profile target than a religion is a country. But anon said, "Fuck it, let's do a country that's also a religion's HQ." That's why we're gunning for The Vatican. That, and the fact that it's small with limited IT infrastructure. It's an Ideal Target for us.

Also, since it's high profile, the attack is guaranteed news coverage as long as it hits hard, does damage, and can be sustained for several days.

This operation will be the work of Anonymous, but to make it the biggest shitstorm possible, we're going to collect attaches from various other communities, to do this, we need a moralfag acceptable reason. We have it. God Provided. "The pope aided a pedophile priest, and claims to be the man closest to God."

Manifesto, or, a lesson on how to fail in the most srs way

	“	Anon has attacked many targets in the past. People. Groups. Organizations. Corporations... even foetuses. And still, it is not enough. Oh, we've made the news. Hell, we've even got a fucking wikipedia article. But if you walked up to an average person and asked them, "What is Anonymous?" You'd get the websters definition, not-- The group that took down Subeta. That crippled a thousand online games. That got enough attention from the CoS to get a documentary made. That shut down Second Life for a week. It's just a matter of statistical fact that most people, even now, do not know of us. If they know, they do not fear. It is time to change that. It is time, to change everything. Welcome to Operation: Vox Populi, Vox Dei.	„

What Happened?

OK, seriously, this shit is just getting old

Once upon a time, in a far away land of magic and wonder, a bunch of raidfags decided that it would be a good idea to try something "big", a la Chanology, by invading the Vatican. Following the fail-train that has been the last many raids done in this way, an overly srs Declaration of War was issued, complete with voice synthesizer, generic headless suit/ominous background image, and intimidating statements about unending war until the collapse of the Vatican itself.

Unfortunately, a 2000 year old institution with billions of dollars and well over a billion members is just a bit more resilient than a religion whose members are most well known for being rich and jumping on couches. Consider for a moment that this organization has perhaps definitely hundreds of high ranking pedophiles, and that even in the face of this their believers aren't even phased. The Vatican is the single oldest continually operating troll group, having taken part in the gassing of jews under Hitler's Regime and so this raid was an example of trolls trolling trolls.

This problem became apparent when the weekend ended and the most prominent members of the raid had to go back to school, on threat of their mommy taking away their computer. The specified raid date came and went, with nothing happening except the creation of several more semen-gurgling war videos (because the most influential religious group in the world ought to be scared shitless of an anonymous message on youtube, amirite?).

What you can do to make this succeed get a cease and desist letter and do absolutely nothing

1. Get LOIC. http://partyvan.info/wiki/LOIC
2. On May 25th, 6PM-UTC, aim at vatican.va, set to full power.
3. FIRE!
4. ?????
5. PROFIT!

Trolling

Not all is lost, since there is still a way you can troll your local Catholic Priest.

	“	This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.	„
	—Saint Paul, 1 Tim 3:1-7 (NKJV).

	“	Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.	„
	—Saint Paul, 1 Tim 4:1-5 (NKJV)
