Toronto, Canada Scientology Protest

May 30th 2011 @ 12:00 noon

696 Yonge Street

[ANON9000000]

Its a cult!

[maurylaundry]

it's a cult

[o0portal0o]

Keep it up guys! Just shows there are people out there that care about people that are brainwashed to give their money and their lives away...in this case from an obvious cult called Scientology.

xox Australia

[CanadiaNecro1]

All religions start out as cults.

[hermeeown]

In L.Ron Hubbard's own words -

If you want to make a little money, write a book. If you want to make a lot of money, create a religion.

[fuckpong]

Keep up the good work, people are taking notice- LONG LIVE ANONYMOUS

[dem0nthesis]

First of all woot, and its covered and you can see that by the distortion.

[sandalwoodred]

Where did they get video cameras that can operate in temperatures like that? Wow!

-29 C, That's 20 below zero F.

[guardcorp]

everything u saw was in a giant igloo..... so its cold but its warm. canada

[Utubeblows]

@sandalwoodred Yeah - winter in Toronto is a miserable time - I gotta move to california. My blood is as thick as maple syrup

[siroma80]

Scientology is a dangerous cult and it should be banned PERMANENTLY. Good work guys!

[emulator900]

i hate scientologists. con-artist pieces of shit.

[hartman5555]

In Canada in 1992 the church of Scientology and seven of its members were tried and convicted on charges of stealing government documents (many of them retrieved in an enormous police raid of the church's Toronto headquarters). Scientology proposed to give $1 million to the needy if the case was dropped, but Canada spurned the offer.

[likezack]

i seen a protest downtown before like close to wesley station i think

[Hosea22]

Discover why people are so against Scientology...

w w w [dot] u s m i n c [dot] o r g

[soulinite]

Hail Xenu!

[johncfl]

Thanks for posting this. scientology is a money grubbing cult that has somehow managed to be recognized as a religion -- yeah right.

[etypefan1]

i never thought that the scourge of scientology would reach Toronto. expect me at the next protest.

ANON FTW!!!

[PumaPumaPride]

I was there

[NaturalSelection2]

I did not realize that they bothered to stick around after they were convicted here of breaching the public trust. Thanks for posting this.

[d4m7s8]

I don't know why you guys have to have this repeated to you so many times, but here goes: Anonymous really doesn't care if you want to believe in engrams, body thetans and the wisdom from a sci-fi writer. The protests are about practices, not beliefs.

You might want to talk to CoS officials about how the CoS can change to address the reasons for these protests - Fair Game practices, Disconnect policy, etc.

So, you gave us friendly advice, there's my advice to you, buddy.

[yankeewitz]

I don't think that cyber crime and face masks like the KKK are a diplomatic effort of reform.

[d4m7s8]

Well, Anonymous aren't fans of bullying, litigation and harassment to silence $cientology critics. So you could say it's a wash.

[yankeewitz]

Then wouldn't the answer be police athorities, judges and other elected officals? "Honk if you hate $cientology" isn't a message, it's disturbing the pease.

[d4m7s8]

Yes, that one sign crossed a line.

But have you paid any attention to why the protests took place?

I'm assuming you're not OSA. If you are OSA, you should know all about the most objectionable CoS practices. If you're not, and you don't know, then go find out.

Tell the CoS that it should stop the bullying, litigation and harassment. If you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

[yankeewitz]

Your right the Office of Special Affairs, is the source of these issues.

So it's not really Scientology but specific issues that need to be resolved. Anonymous is making an impact, but there comes a point when the attacks are over and the conferences begin, where the matters of concern are addressed and an agreement is reached.

I would say narrow it down to the specifics and then get that message to the people who can make the changes. Why demonstrate in the snow forever with no end in sight.

[CrimsonPhantom88]

Because this is Canada. It snows whether we protest or not. So why not?

[CrimsonPhantom88]

Truly moral people don't get bogged down by laws.

I'll attend one of these if I get a chance, but I disagree with Anonymous about one thing: they think it's okay to believe in alien overlords and body thetans and whatever. Is that okay? As a matter of fact, it isn't. I'd protest not just their deeds, but their beliefs too. Why should religions be free from protest? They are a form of political belief like any other. Being dumb shouldn't make them untouchable.

[TheInstantNinja]

The Instant Ninja applauds CrimsonPhantom88's enthusiasm, but Anonymous does not desire to become religious bigots; the fact is, people are free to believe what they want to believe. What Anonymous (and The Instant Ninja) opposes is the horrific money siphoning, lack of basic human rights in this so-called "Church", and a myriad of other problems.

[Borgfan]

Unfreeze the View Counter!

Copy and paste this everyone!

[totti15ale]

Bravo.

Sop scientology. The new legal nazist society.

[o0AGE0o]

why our Scientology fags trying to brainwash people with their bullshit?

Anon FTW!

I wish Tom Cruise would get called by millions of anon just to help end scientology. He would cry like a bitch if that happened.

[tragedyx6x9x]

Anon is full of win and awesome as per usual. :)

[1selfmademan]

Didnt the guy who founded Scientology study under Aleister Crowley the famous devil worshipper? So wouldnt this cult be based from Satanism?

[JBTS9]

its not based on satan, just shitty sci fi stories

[tragedyx6x9x]

Lol, win. :)

[rajastylez]

It's kind of ironic to me that the protestors decided to wear face masks just like in Tom Cruise's movie "Eyes wide Shut." I'm sure the masks are symbolic of something but whatever.

[blackcobra203]

its just to cover ther faces, i think?

[pyritelemon]

They said be vary wary of the 10th of february.. They were right.

[PhilippeDeChampaigne]

I will never drive a Ford again.

[PhatFaceKilla]

You guys deserve a whole factory of cookies. My God....The downfall of Scientology will give the world more cookies. LET'S FINISH THEM!

[TheChristianFairy]

I CONCUR!

[S0caBo1]

lol in toronto we have the christe factory and u can get like a million cookies for a dollar...well done all! i kno a few people that where heads of this protest

[Jigore]

Cheer anonymous

[z00z99]

I thought anonymous was an evil hacker hate group. they are dancing, i thought anonymous was tuff. on youtube they act more diffrent

[AnonDjna]

lol @ this guy. You're awesome.

[sandman109]

I love Anonymous.

[zaqmlp1234]

go onto amazon and add your own review of dianetics

[MorrisVideoscom]

this is awesome keep it movin

[finestspark7]

what site started this anyway? 4chan (oh god..) or totse?

[DicyDax]

It was 4chan, or more specifically /b/... This is so great...

[RinEdition]

"wanted to be part of a strong winning group" the same reason the chans are having a newfag flood.

Cake to this woman for leaving!

[Hor44]

<3

I love you guys.

Lets abolish this scientology

bullshit.

[MillionthAnon]

Beautiful, perfect, thank you for posting this.

Canada rocks!

[Anonamomily]

That is awesome. Keep up the momentum! Those ex-scientologists will be key players in bringing the Co$ down. Great job!

[bmwtween21]

omg I live in canada, I didnt know there was a fucking church of scientology in toronto, FUCKING CULT. today will be in history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moshnerd]

Anon, looking out for Canada!

[zambimaru]

Keep up the fight Canada.

[rammsteinfreak4]

A whole bunch of people took pictures of me, but I haven't seen them anywhere...

[xXmosquitopowerXx]

I think that Scientology is a waste of money,

and I congratulate you guys on keeping this effort going. I am actually planning on going to the raid this fifteenth in Dallas.

I live close by.

[volatile6969]

Great job Toronto - just a fellow Canadian proud of your efforts - keep up the good fight!

[TorontoAnon]

[foreversaiyjin]

[themastersb]

Great video, mostly because of the quote at the very end.

[lolwut09]

Ah, that was a fun protest.

[mafoofoo12]

Great Job.

[lonewolf2009]

Keep up the good work guys :)

And you have my support, hence I have been giving them info of the dangers of Scientology.

PS- Can someone give me an article about how the Sea Org force there pregnant members get abortions? That will help my church to support you guys.

[ContraWagner]

What's your crime, Anon?

What's your crime?

[JimmyChiffels]

Quiete scientologist your time to talk is OVA!

[ContraWagner]

Don't you get the joke? You should know by now.

[blackwhimsy]

Oops.Sorry.Thought you were a COSer.

The trouble with making jokes like this is that the COSers are deadly serious & say the same things.

[fusedblue]

No i dont get it XD

[BLUCKPLUCKER]

LOL, nice.

[blackwhimsy]

Er,I hate to tell you this,Contra,but everyone KNOWS about the policy,"Ask about their crimes,known and unknown."Don't you think as Anon KNOW this is standard handling of a critic you should change tactic?It's like a script a telemarketer uses.There's no thought involved,it's like a parrot spewing out learned responses.

"Thank you for dealing with Scientology Brainwashing Services,and remember our slogan:what are your crimes?"

Change the record,it's getting old.

[ContraWagner]

I am not a scientologist. I know that this is a scientologist tactic and I am making fun of it by framing a satirical question to Anon that is a massive group rather than an individual.

[GimbleTheWizard]

I wish I could have been part of one of these protests. Thanks for spreading the knowledge about scientology and how dangerous this cult is.

[Floreum]

I haven't seen any Calgary ones yet. :(

[DrewEl2]

I like all the vendetta masks

[gprime10]

[AnonDjna]

[tbeginnerz]

nice .... good job anon`s

[halfmike]

epic win

[anonepiclulz4thewin]

I might be crying a bit...

[anonymees]

It is very touching somehow. As an anonymous, I hope I don't sound too self-congratulatory, but it must feel good for an ex-Scientologist to get all this support overnight, seemly out of nowhere.

[An0nym0usMaN]

It does :D

[An0nym0usMaN]

You understand us, because the problem is nobody understands what a Scientologist does, so defectors have this pocket of experience that they cant really share fully. And it just festers, at least for me, like a pocket of pain.

And then comes anonymous, with their first vid, right out of the gates, cutting through to the core of the injustice of scientology, the church.

Many of us loved the religion, we're weird, Xtianity is weird, but in Xtianity you get all you want for FREE!

[repustech]

awesome! thanks for the vid!

[speedracy]

WOOO GOO ANONYMOUS!!! This is awesome guys, Im really glad to see the numbers even though it was freezing up there.

[RonGiz]

This is what we need moar of.

[An0nym0usMaN]

Do you see how happy you are making people Anonymous?

MAJOR WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am an ex-scn, and we feel vindicated.

More to come, for sure.

[udderbutter]

Anonymous, you rock!

[An0nym0usMaN]

Good for you for telling your story.

More honesty is what is needed.

You need not fear no more.

[KornmanUNstoppable]

and we are happy with you miss we comend you for doing this

[truspect0r]
