Open Letter to Westboro Baptist Church FROM ANONYMOUS

AN OPEN LETTER FROM ANONYMOUS http://anonnews.org/?p=home

February 16, 2011 http://anonnews.org/?p=press&a=item&i=449

TO THE CONGREGANTS OF WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH:

We, the collective super-consciousness known as ANONYMOUS - the Voice of

Free Speech & the Advocate of the People - have long heard you issue your
venomous statements of hatred, and we have witnessed your flagrant and
absurd displays of inimitable bigotry and intolerant fanaticism. We have always
regarded you and your ilk as an assembly of graceless sociopaths and maniacal
chauvinists & religious zealots, however benign, who act out for the sake of
attention & in the name of religion.

Being such aggressive proponents for the Freedom of Speech & Freedom of
Information as we are, we have hitherto allowed you to continue preaching
your benighted gospel of hatred and your theatrical exhibitions of, not only
your fascist views, but your utter lack of Christ-like attributes. You have
condemned the men and women who serve, fight, and perish in the armed
forces of your nation; you have prayed for and celebrated the deaths of young
children, who are without fault; you have stood outside the United States
National Holocaust Museum, condemning the men, women, and children who,
despite their innocence, were annihilated by a tyrannical embodiment of
fascism and unsubstantiated repugnance. Rather than allowing the deceased
some degree of peace and respect, you instead choose to torment, harass, and
assault those who grieve.

Your demonstrations and your unrelenting cascade of disparaging slurs,

unfounded judgments, and prejudicial innuendos, which apparently apply to
every individual numbered amongst the race of Man - except for yourselves -
has frequently crossed the line which separates Freedom of Speech from
deliberately utilizing the same tactics and methods of intimidation and mental
& emotional abuse that have been previously exploited and employed by
tyrants and dictators, fascists and terrorist organizations throughout history.

ANONYMOUS cannot abide this behavior any longer. The time for us to be idle
spectators in your inhumane treatment of fellow Man has reached its apex, and
we shall now be moved to action. Thus, we give you a warning: Cease & desist
your protest campaign in the year 2011, return to your homes in Kansas, &
close your public Web sites.

Should you ignore this warning, you will meet with the vicious retaliatory arm
of ANONYMOUS: We will target your public Websites, and the propaganda &
detestable doctrine that you promote will be eradicated; the damage incurred
will be irreversible, and neither your institution nor your congregation will ever
be able to fully recover. It is in your best interest to comply now, while the
option to do so is still being offered, because we will not relent until you cease
the conduction & promotion of all your bigoted operations & doctrines.

The warning has been given. What happens from here shall be determined by
you.

WE ARE ANONYMOUS.
WE ARE LEGION.
WE DO NOT FORGIVE.
WE DO NOT FORGET.
EXPECT US.

In an open letter to the Westboro Baptist Church, Anonymous has put the
anti-gay, fundamentalist church on notice that "the damage incurred will be
irreversible," and that "neither your institution nor your congregation will ever
be able to fully recover."

The Westboro Baptist Church is led by Rev. Fred Phelps. It has drawn
particular attention for carrying out anti-gay protests at funerals of military
servicemen with signs celebrating the deaths of the soldiers with signs like
"God Hates the USA" or "Thank God for 9/11." The group operates a website
with the URL godhatesfags.com.
