Ultimately, their big "secret" is that they believe our world is inhabited by the spirits of aliens from millions of years ago - "thetans" that find a place in our bodies. They hold very expensive, pyramid-scheme type "audits" to see how in touch yoiu are with your inner thetan.

Ok, being founded by a sci-fi writer explains everything. He went overboard and started living out his books

I know they believe that evryone has lived a past life. And when we die here, our soul will live on again in a new body. WEIRD!

They also believe that women are to be silent during childbirth and take no medications but have the baby as natural as possible. The believe that if the mother screams it sends a bad signal to the child. Really WEIRD!

I don't condone some of the things that the Anonymous group says or does, but there general idea of peaceful protest (with masks, so they are not targeted for "fair game"), seems to be effective.

one note that I read about recently on this issue (the masks) is that the V for vendetta masks that are usually used; there has apparently been a huge purchase of them from the COS, for resale), so that they can target (fair gaming) the purchasers as being part of the Anonymous group.
