OPERATION: MARCAB INVASION - San Diego Comic-Con FAQs

Oh snap, Anonymous - it's time for a massive op. The 4th and 5th Invader fleets have been stationed in orbit for five months...

This thread is going to be stickied with a few others, regarding exactly what this Operation is, what we plan on doing, and how we're going to achieve it.

A few questions and answers -

What is Comic-Con?

From the official website, here:

"The future is now. The San Diego Comic-Con enters its 39th year as the country’s premier comics and popular arts convention with a brand new slate of special guests, themes and anniversaries, and programming. And this is your first sneak peek at what’s planned for the upcoming event, July 24-27 —- with Preview Night on July 23 —- at the San Diego Convention Center.

In 2007, 125,000 attendees, professionals, and exhibitors came to San Diego for Comic-Con. For the first time ever, Comic-Con sold out of four-day memberships, and single day memberships on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We expect the same thing to happen this year."

Why Comic-Con?

Of all the people that come out to Comic-Con, in reality, only a small percentage of people actually come from San Diego. People come from all over the world to attend this convention, and if Anonymous can reach them, we can reach globally in a way that makes the opportunity irresistable, and definately attainable.

What are Marcabs?

In the Church of Scientology, the Marcab Confederacy is said to be one of the most powerful galactic civilizations still active. Church founder L. Ron Hubbard describes it as:

"Various planets united into a very vast civilization which has come forward up through the last 200,000 years, formed out of the fragments of earlier civilizations. In the last 10,000 years they have gone on with a sort of decadent kicked-in-the-head civilization that contains automobiles, business suits, fedora hats, telephones, spaceships — a civilization which looks almost an exact duplicate but is worse off than the current US civilization."

The capital of the Confederacy is said to be "one of the tail stars of the Big Dipper", probably Alkaid, a star 108 light years distant from Earth. The Marcabians used to rule Earth at some point in the past but lost control of it due to "losses in war and other things".

They also invented the income tax system.

During the early days in the Anonymous' campaign against the Church of Scientology, it was revealed via internal leaks in Scientology that upper level Scientologists believed that Anonymous was under hypnosis or mind control from the Marcabians. The Marcabians were somehow getting psychologists to use the internet to mass brainwash people which then became Anonymous, seeing as how the Church of Scientology cannot comprehend the nature of Anonymous, or that people would do this without any sort of financial motivation and without leaders.

Scientology stated that "either the 4th or the 5th Marcab Invasion Fleet" was parked outside of Jupiter orbit, directing all the actions of brainwashing Anonymous into attacking the Church of Scientology.

Anonymous took this ludicrous claim and ran with it, with it being a staple of much of our amusement for the last few months. There have been many things that Scientology has come up with to explain the existance of Anonymous, however, this is the funniest one.

What is the Marcab Invasion?

The Marcab Invasion is the name for the operations that Anonymous and the groups it attracts will be taking at Comic-Con 2008 to reach the public. This is far more than a standard raid or protest. This is an invasion on an epic scale, reaching people and places that we would not be able to otherwise.

Other information is posted in other areas of the forums about donations, current plans and operations, and different ideas on how to maximize effectiveness at Comic-Con, for those who are attending the convention, and those who aren't that want to help.
