This is Why We Fight

In one YouTube video, entitled "The Ides of March-Anonymous vs. Scientology-This is Why We Fight" a poem is recited that sounds more than a little creepy. To someone who has not been completely following the war between Anonymous and Scientology, this poem
 may sound rather cryptic. In order to present the poem together with its full message, I have decided to disect it and make the contents of the message available to anyone lacking even the most basic understanding of the cultural war that the media is so determined to ignore. Besides, the poem actually contains a wealth of information on the cult and I would be a fool to pass up this opportunity to expose it.

"A" for Astra Woodcraft, and the child she fled to save.
She faced the chill of disconnect, and others tithed their babes.

Astra Woodcraft joined the Church of Scientology at the age of seven, when her parents joined the cult. Astra was forced into the "elite" Sea Organization and after her fifteenth birthday, she married a twenty-one year old man at the behest of the cult. At the age of nineteen, Astra became pregnant. Like many other women, she was confronted by the cult, which demanded that she have an abortion. Astra chose to leave the cult, however this meant that she would have to deal with the CoS's policy of disconnection, which meant that no one in the cult was to contact her in any way...including her parents.

"N" for Noah Lottick, who was only 24.
With a slim fistful of dollars, he sailed from the tenth floor.

On May eleventh, 1990, Noah Lottick jumped to his death clutching 171 dollars...the only money he had not spent on the cult. In his suicide note, Lottick stated that he hoped the Church of Scientology could be outlawed.

"O" for drowned Ophelias who perished in the deep:
Ostertag, The Pilot, Margart Winkelmann, and Pete.

I feel like the entertainment industry has kind of numbed today's society to sympathy but I have to agree that some of these things can penetrate even those barriers.

And thank you for this fine article. Just researching this stuff hurts, doesn't it?

"The Pilot" was Ken Ogger, a long-time scientologist who left the organization and became a member of the "Free Zone," where scientology materials and coaching were offered for free rather than having to pay the church. He was formerly fervent devotee of Hubbard, had served under him in the Sea Org and actually been thrown overboard once. Hubbard changed his mind at the last minute, and pulled Ogger out. For this, Ogger credited Hubbard with having saved his life. In May 2007, just after making internet posts that indicated he was about to publish a new series of works, Ogger was found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool in Los Angeles. He had been attached to a concrete block, with metal wire. The death was initially ruled a suicide; then changed to homicide. The case remains unsolved. Peter Frei was a scientologist who disappeared from Flag's Fort Harrison Hotel and was found floating in an area waterway, a number of days before he was reported missing by the church.
