The Anonymous; Protesting against Scientology's crimes

[sy1234]

OMFG, there's evidence of you not wearing a hat!!

[LadyXenu]

Excellent!..........

HUGS*

[Alkirin]

SPACE COOTIES

[ebaumguy]

Scary warnings :S

[Anonvrnous]

Anon has to stay as anon as possible anyway, or else epic failure will be instant.

[brodlor]

tldw

[spencersghost]

what part of new mexico are you in?

[Desertphile]

"what part of new mexico are you in?"

Why should I reveal that?

[spencersghost]

good point. i was just wondering because my friend lives in rural new mexico, and it reminded me of his place when you were talking about not being able to get into town because of the snow. i was really just asking out of curiosity, but i guess it'd be a good idea not to talk about where you live specifically in the same video where you talk about protesting scientology. in other words, never mind. i enjoyed the video.

[Desertphile]

"... i was just wondering because my friend lives in rural new mexico...."

Folks who live around here at 7,000+ feet are currently buried in 6 inches of snow: it has all the ranchers stuck for a day or two, unless they want to chance driving on the stuff. I've very glad I need not go anywhere!

[spencersghost]

yeah, the friend i was talking about lived in an area where people are pretty self reliant. i think the nearest town for him was about thirty miles away.

[NotSoOldHippy]

Ha! I had a desert canteen slung on a shoulder even then. }:-}

[SciFientology]

I like the pickpocket comparison.  Well Done DP!

[Aritam]

Rock on, man. Keep fighting the good fight.

[NomadSoul76]

This kind of makes me want to join in, only as a counter operative. I want to sit there with cameras and document the activities of the people documenting the protesters. Not to use it for any particular purpose, just make them aware of me following them, photographing them and recording their license plates and such.

I don't know how much scientology there is to protest in Illinois, though. Around here we call organized crime the state government.

[AnonDividedByZero]

"just make them aware of me following them, photographing them and recording their license plates and such."

Anonymous politely suggests that this is a very bad idea. Anonymous has no use for the personal information of Scientologists because Anonymous does not follow them home to harass them. Anonymous is protesting the fraud and human rights abuses of an organized crime syndicate. To pretend that this is a cute cloak-and-dagger game will lead to epic fail.

[NomadSoul76]

"Anonymous politely suggests that this is a very bad idea."

Then "anonymous" misunderstood my suggestion. I was referring to the private investigators that the scientologists are supposed to hire to document the protestors. "watch the watchers" is a fairly basic form of social protest, it requires no pretense to being cloak and dagger at all.

[scrolldb]

The Church of Scientology is pretty dam expensive and dangerous for a glorified book club. Shit you could get a life and a decent eduacation with the money it costs to be a Scientologist instead of wasting time reading the ramblings of a Sci-Fi retarded writer with rotten teeth and bad breath

[ChrisJMoor]

Did the PI manage to follow you back to your ranch or did you shake him?

[Desertphile]

"Did the PI manage to follow you back to your ranch or did you shake him?"

I lost him at a border / immigration check-point. I had planned on leading him into the Badlands of Mexico, but he wouldn't follow he into the desolate wasteland.

[mrbarger]

LOLWUT "TEH ANONYMOUS" I LIEKS

[VikTehOne]

Thank you for the encouragement.

[EvilZoe]

worldwideweb DOT lisamcpherson DOT org SLASH cos SLASH demo DOT htm

[Vertigo6911]

lol im gonna have to call it and say you are at least a little bit high on that one :P

sounds like some good chronic too :P

seriously though, with this kind of experiance, perhaps you and some others should get together and write a protesters fieldguide with tips on how to foil their tactics.

[EvilZoe]

Those are readily available already.

[TheChristianAtheist]

ill pray that the roads clear up for you ;)

[Desertphile]

"ill pray that the roads clear up for you ;)"

Thank you very much. It had the opposite effect however: over 2 inches of new snow today! ARGH!

[TheChristianAtheist]

damn i must have prayed to the wrong god. ill gross gnesh of the list. next stop thor!!

[EvilZoe]

Try Glacia.

She's a cold bitch, but if you catch her at the right time...

[TheChristianAtheist]

lol i'll put her on the list

[NYjon888]

anonymous doesnt do things because its brave or noble....

[ParadoxialAlikeness]

They do it for the lulz.

[EvilZoe]

No, but they're getting people to notice, regardless.

[EvilZoe]

God dammit. It ate my comment again.

Fucking YouFuckingTube!

GRRRR

[hellshade2]

oh i know that feeling evilzoe. happens to me many times.

[EvilZoe]

I'm trying to train myself to select and copy the text before sending, but every time I forget, YT eats the damned thing.

It KNOWS when I forget to save it.

It's EEEEEEEEEEEEEEvil.

[EvilZoe]

I LOATHE competition...lol

[AnonDividedByZero]

"God dammit. It ate my comment again."

That's it. Anonymous' next target is YouTube.

[EvilZoe]

LOL!

I think YouTube's biggest enemy is its coding people and crap servers.

[woggins]

Yikes, you suck at reading a script, be more natural... please.

[Desertphile]

"Yikes, you suck at reading a script, be more natural... please."

No.

[swanseaboy]

Why don't you post videos protesting something worthwhile, like the Iraq war, which has killed up to a million civilians and thousands upon thousands of our troops, and injured tens of thousands more.

[kurtilein3]

swanseaboy: why not protest the vietnam-war?

the iraq-thing already is a mess, more troops would be needed to stabilize the country, less troops would increase the amount of chaos there. its a bit too late to protest against that war, protesting against the stupidity that caused it makes more sense.

[swanseaboy]

What are you getting at?

I said protest something worthwhile like the Iraq war, which includes protesting against the current US and UK governments.

you protest against it all.

[EvilZoe]

Hopefully, Americans will voice their protest of the war with their votes.

Right now, however, the iron is hot for doing some damage to the equally abhorrent CoS, so it makes sense for people to concentrate their efforts in that direction at this time.

The war is a huge project. It will take more than a bunch of internet junkies to end that.

The whole US administration needs to be replaced before we can even begin with the war.

[swanseaboy]

The more people that protest NOW the better.

It's just like saying, if one of the corporate brainwashed candidates take the presidency, we can't protest until they are out.

[EvilZoe]

Currently, there are enough people to create some major discomfort for CoS, and we need to work together for it to have any impact.

In order to take on the war, the criminals running the US have to be removed. The way it's set up, we won't be able to do anything about them until we can vote them out. They hold all the cards, and no one with enough power seems to want to do anything.

Concentrated effort is the only way to make this stuff work. Right now, CoS is feasible. The war is not.

[swanseaboy]

At the moment those evil people are going to become president, so it's obviously not working.

[EvilZoe]

Not every candidate is an megalomaniacal idiot cowboy like the shrub currently holding office, with his weedy sycophants leeching all the nutrients out of our precious land.

I think some know it's time to get us out of there.

This is not to say the war will ALWAYS not be feasible.

It's just that there are still too many retarded Americans that still believe we're doing some sort of good works by being in Iraq. So many that we can't get the momentum to make a dent in the issue.

[swanseaboy]

So having a go at scientology is going to make a difference? lol, come on ffs.

[EvilZoe]

Might as well try since there are a huge number of people taking notice right now.

One must try in order to succeed, or indeed, fail.

But if one doesn't try, one will surely fail.

Nothing wrong with leaping upon a strategically advantageous wave of outraged humanity all reaching for a common goal.

Find a way to direct that sort of energy toward the war protest and you'll have more effect.

[swanseaboy]

scientology has nothing to do with the 'war on terror'

[EvilZoe]

No, it's a terror in it's own right.

[swanseaboy]

Course it is, just like Iran has nukes, lol.

[EvilZoe]

No one said it had anything to do with that crock of shit, anyway.

If you don't care about it, fine. But you can't change what others feel strongly about.

Make a difference on your own. Win people to your cause. Figure out how to make something as unlikely and huge as a group of internet hackers and crackers want to take on the battle, and create a wave of common outrage that is powerful enough to impact the issue.

Besides, it isn't as though one can't want to end both CoS AND the war.

[EvilZoe]

And trying to invalidate what others stand for isn't going to win you allies, regardless.

[mattblackcat]

Iran does not have nukes.

Try and keep up with world affairs by not watching FOX.

Even if they did it is not a reason not to protest against other 'evils' in the world.

[Desertphile]

"Try and keep up with world affairs by not watching FOX."

Indeed: the more a person watched FOX "News" the less one knows about the real world. KFOX deliberately lies. They even told the FCC in writing that they had no obligation to tell the truth, and the FCC agreed.

[Desertphile]

"Course it is, just like Iran has nukes, lol."

There is no evidence that Iran has "nukes." Iran is not a threat to the USA, nor a threat to "world peace."

[mattblackcat]

Nobody said it had

[Desertphile]

"scientology has nothing to do with the 'war on terror'"

It has everything to do with terrorism, however.

[mattblackcat]

The journey of a million miles starts with one step.

Anyone can make a change.

[AnonDividedByZero]

"So having a go at scientology is going to make a difference? lol, come on ffs."

Scientology is both a worthy opponent for Anonymous and excellent practice for larger targets. In the process of dismantling the Church, Anonymous will gain new members and allies, as well as the respect of the general public.

[mattblackcat]

are you really from Swansea as you sound as if you are from Bridgend?

[Desertphile]

"Why don't you post videos protesting something worthwhile,....."

Dev-T: *FLUNK!* You are now in session--- spot a spot.

[thkaal]

Yes, the Criminal Organization $cientology is like the mob. However, CO$ is sanctioned and receives subsidization from the US government because of the Faith Initiative.

[scrolldb]

Good work man, you should join up with xenutv. The more I learn about CO$ the more shocking it gets. Their criminal activity under the smokescreen of "religion" is wacky, it's absurd the whole idea. I thought you might like this clip , link below

youtube(.)com/watch?v=rlDbp4Al­U3c

[Desertphile]

"Good work man, you should join up with xenutv."

I have done that already. :-) I still owe him a hamburger.

[nicanicabad]

it was like seeing you naked ;-)

[Desertphile]

"it was like seeing you naked ;-)"

Not even I can stand to see me naked. I have always had Albert Einstein hair.

[nicanicabad]

me too

[nicanicabad]

very interesting and cool

[angsno1]

There aren't any here so I would have to support you in spirit. These loonys are more dangerous than I realized

[EvilZoe]

I was thinking of protesting wearing a mask made up of an autopsy photo of Lisa McPherson, February 10th being the anniversary of her birth.

I hope my mom lets me borrow her camera.

[Desertphile]

"I was thinking of protesting wearing a mask made up of an autopsy photo of Lisa McPherson...."

That is a dandy idea: the criminal cult does not know how to "handle" street theater, and a mask of Ms. McPherson would baffle most Guardians Office thug.

[EvilZoe]

The photos are readily available all over the internet and it would be simple to blow one up and make a mask of it.

It would definitely bring the point home to roost.

[Desertphile]

"It would definitely bring the point home to roost."

I have attended Lisa McPherson memorials at Clearwater: Scientology staff and customers have no emotions at all when it comes to Lisa McPherson's brutal torture and death. It's as if they never heard of her.

[EvilZoe]

Which is why we need to keep in their faces.

Someday, one day, some of them WILL wake up.

[rjohnson1984]

what caused the woman to die?

[Desertphile]

"what caused the woman to die?"

Scientology Inc.'s depraved indifference to human life killed her. She was ordered to inspect an underground transformer vault every morning. The metal ladder she used to get into the vault tipped over and she grabbed two live power posts. Her arms were vaporized.

[nicanicabad]

that's horrible!

[anmoose]

Wise words, DP. Organized crime is not to be taken lightly. Protesting is much needed, but personal safety is paramount. They can, and will, kill you.

Moosie

[nadiaTeeze]

what if I leave my vechile at another location and take the bus there??

[Desertphile]

"what if I leave my vechile at another location and take the bus there??"

They will get on the bus with you. Calling the cops 911 and saying you are being stalked and you fear for your life will work wonders in getting them to stop following you.

[Humanist12345]

Thanks for the warning. I encountered Scientology years ago and realized that they were dangerous and goofy. Their bullshit didn't add up.

You know more about the cult than I. I saw you and your brother listed on one of their sites as enemies. I don't know if I should offer congratulations or advise you to travel with a dog and a couple of loaded side-arms.

[fatefinger]

Did they offer you lunch? Cause I heard they offered the protesters lunch so they would get away as they carted out the stacy.

[Desertphile]

"Did they offer you lunch?"

Yes, while Stacey Moxon was frying Ken and Co tried to get us to go to "Denny's" for lunch. . I will make a video about that event.

[fatefinger]

Yes, do that if you wish. It sounds interesting.

[Desertphile]

"It sounds interesting."

It was also bloody sad.

[fatefinger]

Yes it was...

[Hez0]

We'll be wearing masks and using public transport to stay anonymous, Desertphile. And yes, they definitely do follow people with cameras here in Melbourne, Aus, also.

[palmtreez101]

I live not too far from where John Travolta lives. I'll gather some friends and protest in front of his private airstrip. :)

[figmenttt]

How much of a chance is there that some of the

anonymous will actually be scientologist?

[Ender1zero1]

I am willing to bet that there are and will be infiltrators that has always been part of their operating plan.

[LaughingManRa]

Did those Scientology thugs try to do anything other than photograph you & follow you around? How did you get away from their private investigator?

[Ender1zero1]

Please forgive for me for flooding your comment section Desertphile, from my personal experience with protesting Scientology as a woman they would walk really close make a point of brushing against you with a lot inappropriate touching and mumbling sexual comments under their breath attempting to cause embarrassment, dude just didn't understand I only wear clothes because it's Law.

[Ender1zero1]

They took a different tact with the males in our little group and would get right up in their face invading their personal space questioning their manhood tainting them by harassing the women in the group to try and get a personal response, these people will gladly take a beating to get you and your groups names addresses and charges filed, they are ruthless.

[nadiaTeeze]

ender1zero1- That's my girl. ;D I'm protesting the scientologists here on the 10th. you (and desertphile) have inspired me. I'll film it.. or I'll try to.

[Ender1zero1]

Be careful, honestly they are some of the nastiest people I have ever meet. All the nasty things that christianity puts on Atheists ain't nothing compared to what Scientology and it's followers actually are and if you do go don't go alone.

[Desertphile]

"Did those Scientology thugs try to do anything other than photograph you & follow you around?"

Yes: the crime syndicate tried to frame me to crimes that had not occurred. I should make videos about that. It was east fooling their PIs.

[LaughingManRa]

You should make videos about that. It'd be interesting (and instructive!) to hear.

[NotSoOldHippy]

"Did those Scientology thugs try to do anything other than photograph you & follow you around? How did you get away from their private investigator?"

DP and I played with a few Scientology thugs but so long as there are witnesses around and cameras rolling, they won't actually assault or try to kill people.

I met Eliot Abelson in a Los Angeles court house. You can google his name next to Scientology. He's a Gambino Mafia and Scientology crime boss.

[LaughingManRa]

"I met Eliot Abelson in a Los Angeles court house. You can google his name next to Scientology. He's a Gambino Mafia and Scientology crime boss."

Shit, talk about a double-whammy! =/

[NotSoOldHippy]

"Shit, talk about a double-whammy!"

--heh-- Graham Berry talked with him while we took the elevator and then after I walked off to give them some privacy. Berry tried to reason with Abelson, asking him why he works for organized crime and whether he (Abelson) wants to die with all that on his conscience.

[Rorshak1313]

Anonymous doesn't care about human rights.

They're only doing this for the lulz.

Anonymous cannot be harmed, no matter how many Anonymous may fall in battle.

[HailLordXenu]

This started primarily for the lulz, but for many it's become a lot more than that. Besides, the most effective way to make Co$ into butthurt lulzcows is to protest effectively / spread their d0x etc, so the end result is much the same whatever an anon's reasons.

[NotSoOldHippy]

"This started primarily for the lulz, but for many it's become a lot more than that."

It's neat seeing how the Anonymous have quickly assembled into a real force. I hope a lot of the young blood stays with the effort to crush and exterminate the Scientology crime syndicate.

[jeremebp]

Be there in Seattle.

[NotSoOldHippy]

"Be there in Seattle"

I think the Seattle raid is going to be 100 times better, stronger, and greater than even the raid in Los Angeles and Hollywood. Seattle is going to be the place I observe and enjoy the most on the 10'th.

[jeremebp]

"I think the Seattle raid is going to be 100 times better, stronger, and greater than even the raid in Los Angeles and Hollywood. Seattle is going to be the place I observe and enjoy the most on the 10'th."

For those who live in Seattle:

601 Aurora Ave N

(bring a mask, and if possible an informational sign)

[AnonDividedByZero]

"I think the Seattle raid is going to be 100 times better, stronger, and greater than even the raid in Los Angeles and Hollywood. Seattle is going to be the place I observe and enjoy the most on the 10'th."

On what basis do you form this conclusion?

[AnonDividedByZero]

"Be there in Seattle."

Anonymous requests that you ask Anonymous to list Seattle among the cities where protests are taking place, increasing the number of Anonymous attending.

[starfishsicko]

This is so true. Scientology is much more dangerous than people think. People need to be careful.

[Hamandchees3]

Scientology Churches are everywhere. I didn't even know my area had one until I found it on Google Maps! and I live in cold and Catholic Atlantic Canada.

[BashIslam]

Holy Crap, there are 3 in Sydney. Luckily none in Newcastle, but then again I think we have more than our fair share of Mormons and JW's.

[NotSoOldHippy]

"there are 3 in Sydney."

Most of them don't actually exist. You'll find that they are post office boxes or that they are people's houses.

The crime syndicate does this to try to pretend that they're really larger than around 40,000 customers world wide.

[NotSoOldHippy]

"Scientology Churches are everywhere"

Most of them don't actually exist. You'll find that they are post office boxes or that they are people's houses.

TYhe crime syndicate does this to try to pretend that they're really larger than around 40,000 customers world wide.
