Scientology responds to Anonymous protest plans: [6]

• Put yourself on the map so that people know where each other are, and where to put operations.

• Anonymous is a pawn in this raid. Ridiculously Epic Lulz shall occur when the public gains trust in Anonymous. When conducting a raid, don't do anything stupid: Code of Conduct

• RULES ONE AND TWO ARE IN EFFECT, ALWAYS AND FOREVER. 711chan has had to back down because people didn't follow procedure.

• VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not meet after raids with anons you do not know! It might be scifags and there will be definitely scifags around our groups who want to know your Identity. They are trained to be kind to get it and they probably do not want to get you arrested, they want to know who you are! Only use nicknames like "anon01" or "Mr. Pink" during your raids, split up after raids, DO NOT TALK ABOUT PERSONAL STUFF, DO NOT MEET to have a dinner AND DO NOT take away your mask in front of unknown anons! You dont need a picture to prove you were there! Be Anonymous, Stay Anonymous. For raids where anon know each other, disintegrate the group and be the last two or more to leave. Hopefully this will prevent a spy from trying to hang out, plus they'd be outnumbered. Further advices: Anons dont take photos of anons without masks. Link for discussion see here [7]

PROTIP: Listen to the Wise Beard Man before your raid!

CAUTION: SOME TACTICS OVERVIEWED IN THIS PAGE ARE ILLEGAL AND CAN LEAD TO ARREST OF THE OFFENDER. ANYONE CAUGHT USING THEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AN OSA AGENT. If you would like to see some of the illegal tactics that have been removed from the page you can see them here Project_Chanology/Target_IRL/Illegal. As good anonymous it is your duty to contact anyone is doing these tactics and get them to stop. It does vastly more damage to Anonymous than it does to the CoS.

Nevertheless, the article is not perfect, so I still need some help.

UPDATE: Scientofags/wikifags want to delete the article. GERMAN WIKI USERS: do sth about this, I will do my best and try to enhance the article.

UPDATE2: we have won on this front. the article is not to be deleted any more.

[edit] /sh/enanigans

DO NOT USE ANY ILLEGAL TACTICS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. ANYONE SEEN USING ILLEGAL TACTICS AT A PROTEST IS LIKELY A SCIFAG TRYING TO PASS AS ONE OF US. ANY ANONYMOUS CAUGHT USING THESE TACTICS ARE COMMITTING EPIC FAIL AND JEOPARDIZING THE LONG TERM SUCCESS OF THE WHOLE OPERATION.

IF YOU START A PHYSICAL ALTERCATION WITH THE SCIENTOLOGISTS OR START AN ARGUMENT OR SCREAMING MATCH WITH ANY OF THEM, OUR POLICY WILL BE TO ASSUME THAT YOU ARE A Co$ TROLL AND SHUN YOU FROM THE GROUP.

DO NOT RESPOND TO SCIFAG PROVOCATION. IF YOU GIVE THEM ANY RESPONSE, THEN THE BASTARDS HAVE ALREADY WON.

[edit] Vandalism

Don't vandalize. At ALL. You tards are giving a bad name to this movement and we need to be taken seriously.

[edit] IRL Protests

Caution: There is a site that has a list of ways the scibots have harrassed people. One form is anonymous letters from "concerned neighbours"/scibots about the person...typically they say "It has recently come to my attention that Anon is a child molester, rapes sheep, and runs an illegal moonshine and bootlegging operation. Just wanted you to be careful!"

Mark Bunker a/k/a Wise Beard Man of XenuTV.com has posted video documentation of his harrassment by the Scio-punks. Watch and learn: [[8]]

If they see your face, they will take a picture. If they know your name, they will find out where you live. If they try to follow you, lose them or you will most likely be harrassed.

[edit] How to IRL raid effectively

OK I am an experienced protester and obnoxious /b/astard. I participated in a number of protests with the Alabama Evolutionary Committee, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and several anti-war marches. Despite this, I have never been arrested or ticketed and my anonymity has never been compromised. I have always been a nameless, faceless mob member, even when there were only five people in the mob. It's time to pass the knowledge on.

• IMPORTANT INFO*

It is HIGHLY likely that the $cienos will attempt to infiltrate your raid, it is extremely likely also (given their history) that they will assault bystanders to attempt to discredit the legitimacy of our protest. IF THIS HAPPENS WE QUASH IT. MEME testing is the ideal tactic against them, but note that we have other groups (Goons et al)who will participate, make sure you stay safe and secure.

[edit] DO NOTHING ILLEGAL

Is it illegal to spraypaint their building? Don't do it. Ordinances against hanging flyers in your area? Don't hang any. Illegal to stand directly in front of their building? Stand off to the side. These people will use any excuse to have you arrested and hauled away, and use any excuse to make you out to be the bad guy. Don't give 'em any. It is highly recommended you bring flyers and pamphlets and shit to hand out, but don't bring signs or weapons or anything that could even remotely get into trouble. Don't drop stuff on the street, or the church might try to get you cited for littering.

[edit] NO VIOLENCE

Do you remember in elementary school when you got detention for fighting back when a known bully beat the shit out of you? It's like that in real life, too. If they start beating you up, and you defend yourself, you'll go to jail and they will be declared some sort of hero. I know it sucks, but if they want to hit you, let 'em...AND GET IT ON TAPE! Scientologists LOVE to physically attack their critics, but they're much too pussy to do any real damage. Most of 'em have a long crime record for minor acts of violence. Get it on tape, then shove it in the series of tubes. Once we have >9000 videos of scientologists slapping /b/ tards over nothing, the world will take our side. The fact that most of us are young and small and most of them are old and big will help out here.

[edit] DISGUISE YOURSELF

• Actually, it may not be legal to wear masks in public in some areas, but go on with what you were saying...

Scientologists will go to any lengths to harass their dissenters, including posting flyers of them with lies, calling the cops and reporting fake incidents, going to their house, etc. DO NOT GIVE THEM THE CHANCE! Arrive at your raid using public transportation if possible. Wear a mask (Guy Fawkes is best, but anything that doesn't look intimidating is good. Alien masks are also good).

• • Wear loose, winter clothing that disguises your body type and shape. This way, they will have no way of telling who exactly is harassing them, where you live, and so on. Considering they go so far as to follow their harassers home and write down license plates and crap, I wouldn't put it past them to tail you when you leave, so if you must use your own car, don't go home. In fact, whenever you have a raid, don't go home. Instead go someplace else and celebrate your achievement. Something like a movie is best, since it means that anyone tailing you will have to wait hours and hours for you to come out, and it'll be obvious who is tailing you. You can then harass them without fear of reprisal, because you're nice and far away from the Scientology cameras. Just don't let 'em get a good look at your face! Remember, anonymity is our greatest asset! NOTE: Some cities have laws against the public wearing of masks, with an exception for Halloween. Another way to preserve anonymity is to wear large glasses and a hat (or a wig). Plans for a printable Guy Fawkes mask can be found here. You can alternatively buy a plastic Guy Fawkes mask from Forbidden Planet for £5 which can be found here, If you plan to be protesting in central London, the Forbidden Planet store also has the masks for sale.

NOTE ON DISGUISES AND ILLEGALITY

UK: Law in the United Kingdom regarding the wearing of masks is governed by S. 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 (CJA 1994). It is NOT a criminal offence to wear a mask/balaclava/keffiyeh/funny glasses with comic nose itself. It IS NOT a criminal offence if a police officer in uniform requests that you remove the mask and hand it over to him and you fail to do so UNLESS there is a s60 order in place, s60 IS NOT a permanantly enforced set of laws, it has to be enacted with a s60 order by a senior officer. If a s60 order has not been made (and it's unlikely to be made as it has to be when there is an immediate risk of violance) then you are under no obligation to remove any maks. However in the unlikely event that an s60 order is issued then failure to remove the mask is an arrestable offence, triable summarily (w/o a jury hearing before a magistrate), punishable by 1 month's imprisonment or a fine. So if a policeman asks you to take off and hand over your mask, and you don't, you run the risk of having a very, very bad day. Try to wear other accessories (hoodie, shades, etc) so you can hide the rest of your face and make a swift exit.

[edit] FREE SHIT

People love free shit. And in some places selling things on the street without a license is illegal, so this works best. Your goal should be to lure people in to talk to them and explain what you're doing. So, how do you do it? Give 'em something. If the weather's cold, give 'em some free hot chocolate. If the weather's warm, give 'em some free lemonade, courtesy of Xenu, of course!

[edit] ITS DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE, TAKE THIS

Never forget who it is we're dealing with. Always bring at least one (preferably more) other people with you as backup in case you need someone to act as a distraction, as a decoy, or in a worst-case-scenario situation go for help!

[edit] BRING CAMERAS

If there's one thing that drives a Scientologist into a blind rage, it's a camera. If you point a camera at a Scientology org, they will usually point one or more cameras back at you. It's part of their tech for handling suppressives. As an anon, your goal in making pictures is entertainment. Their goal is to ID you, create a defamatory web page about you, and gather evidence for possible legal action.

Everyone on your raid should have a camera, preferably a video camera if you can get it. The bigger and uglier the camera the better. For epic lulz, go get a giant VHS Camcorder and have one of you cart it around while TEH REAL CAMERAMAN uses a small digital camera to record video of the scientologists harassing the guy with the big camera. The fact that you should be able to record lots of video of them being dicks while you're just silly should help win people to our side, too.

[edit] SILENCE!

The $cientologists get off on conflict. They love nothing more than a big argument, you've seen them arguing on TV and YouTube, they are world class arguers! So don't rise to them, don't talk to them when they are in your face, just look straight past them. Completely ignoring them while they're going off on their rant is one of the most annoying things you can do to a $cientologist, it will piss them off tremendously and if you get their reaction on camera it'll basically make them look like they're going around trying to start fights. There's a possibility they may try and use violence against you, just make sure you get it on camera.

Meanwhile here are hints and tips for demonstrating against Scientology.

• Law Enforcement

Law enforcement may show up to monitor the situation. This is hardly surprising given the press coverage Chanology has received. The best way to handle the police is simply to follow their instructions and not do anything illegal. (Of course, in the incredibly unlikely event that you get arrested, shut up and lawyer up.)

1. THE POLICE ARE OUR FRIENDS.
2. Most Police Officers are there because they were called there. They don't want to be there and they don't know you, why you're here or what you're all about - enlighten them politely if asked
3. Always comply with the requests of the police, if they ask you to move ten feet down the street, move FIFTEEN feet away in an orderly fashion without being rude or obnoxious.
4. If you have the chance engage the police officer(s) in conversation hand them some flyers and tell them what this is all about chances are they don't even know what Scientology is and you might even get some good video of a cop getting LULZ from Alien fearing sci-fags
5. It is rude to ask a police officer his or her badge number without provocation, don't get in their face and start screaming shit like "hey surfer coat, what's your badge number dude?"
6. IF you can and it's cold out - buy the cops a cup of coffee let them know you're on their side and you know they're only doing their job they might be less likely to annoy you that way
7. If a police officer arrives BEFORE an incident happens ensure it is documented on video and you can play it back for the officer so he or she can see what transpired since word-of-mouth is a pain in the ass to put on a police report
8. Have proper identification on you at all times and provide it an officer demands it.
9. Do not call the police "Pigs" "5-0" "NARCS" or "Cops" they hate words like that and it only serves to make the sci-fags look better
10. Remember, Do NOT do anything illegal. If you have an idea, and you're not sure whether or not it's legal, FORGET ABOUT IT. This is PEACEFUL protest, this cannot be stressed enough. If you do something stupid, you're on your own, and you will forever be shunned and viewed as a massive lulzkiller, and anonymous WILL make you buy a dog.

[edit] Form-letter for recruiting other organizations

Some of you may find that Anonymous alone can't muster up a decent crowd for a protest, or that you could stand to have a few more people around. The best way to do this is to contact other organizations such as churches, civil rights groups, and anyone else who you think might be opposed to Scientology and willing to give up a few hours on the weekend. Here is a standard form letter for you to e-mail to them.

Dear [NAME OF LEADER OF ORGANIZATION],

I am a member of an online organization known simply as "Anonymous." You may have heard of us on the evening news, or the internet. You may have not. In any event, I wish to dispel any fears you may have concerning us. We are not a malevolent hate group, nor are we a collection of hackers, nor do we wish to pose any threat to you. In fact, we are in need of your help.

We are currently protesting the Church of Scientology, because they have repeatedly proven that they are a cruel and evil organization dedicated purely to making a profit and exploiting it's unfortunate members. We are opposed to the fact that it is granted nonprofit status in many countries, despite the fact that it is very profit driven and will go to great lengths to extract money from it's members. We are opposed to the way it cuts off its members from their friends and family, subjecting them to forced labor for the church, and requiring them to pay large amounts of money to simply learn small aspects of the belief system which the "church" preaches.

Several members of Anonymous have pointed out that you are an upstanding and honorable organization, and we believe that there is a lot you could contribute to our movement. We know you are committed to [THINGS RELEVANT TO THE ORGANIZATION] and want you to know that we share the same commitment. We want to protect [AFOREMENTIONED] from the Church of Scientology, and we are certain that you do as well. We look forward to your assistance and participation in our movement. If you have any questions, please contact me at [YOUR E-MAIL].

Sincerely, ANONYMOUS

It might be helpful to include a post-script that has links to various videos on YouTube or articles on the internet explaining how harmful Scientology is. Be certain to include things that indicate how Scientology is counter to the group in question. If you are talking with a Church, include information on how the Co$ works to defame and decry Christianity and break up families. If you are working with a civil liberties union, give them links related to the people Scientology has abused and killed.

Please leave your memes, jokes, and other idiocy at home. These people are going to find Anonymous to be weird enough as it is, try to be normal with them as best you can.

[edit] CALL AND RESPONSE

A popular way for any group to identify its members is to have a call-and-response system set up. Traditionally, the call and response are secret within the group, so that anyone not of the group can be quickly vetted by their inability to give a call or response. However, due to the nature of Anonymous, it is logistically impossible for all of us to know something and the Scientologists to not know it. To circumvent this, we will use calls and responses which Scientologists cannot say because it goes against their beliefs and orders, and would force them to admit to knowledge and crimes they cannot admit to.

It would be a good idea to pick several of these for use among your cohorts and local raiders to use to make sure you're not being infiltrated. Feel free to improvise or invent ones for local use, using the ones below as examples.

CALL: L. Ron Hubbard said that all gay people should be put to death. RESPONSE: L. Ron Hubbard's son was gay, I wonder if he killed his son.

CALL: Scientology will take all your money and leave you with nothing. RESPONSE: Scientology hurts all those it touches.

CALL: Scientology kills dozens of people a year. RESPONSE: Scientology has no respect for the law.

CALL: Xenu is a pretty stupid name for an alien overlord. RESPONSE: And DC9s are the best spaceships Hubbard could come up with?

CALL: Scientology hates psychology and tells nothing but lies about it. RESPONSE: It's because psychologists can reverse their brainwashing.

CALL: Can you believe what they did to Lisa McPherson? RESPONSE: Scientology kills.

If you think of any others that a scientologist CAN'T say, please add them to this part of the Wiki. Make sure they are true statements.

[edit] Protest Speeches (UPDATED FOR APRIL 12TH)

Every good protest starts with a speech, and at least one of you should come up with one. If you can't, here is a short, pre-written speech that any good Anon can use. Capitals mean you should emphasize the word and say it as loudly as you can.

This speech was specifically written for the April 12th protest, and has the appropriate theme.

(ahem)

A lot of people are going to ask us why we are here today. Why? Why would we, the legions of Anonymous, go to all this time, and trouble, to put our lives and privacy in jeopardy?

BECAUSE WE CARE. Yes, we've been assholes at times. But who hasn't? We've made mistakes, we've done dumb things...But in the end, we care. We care about the love and understanding that we KNOW people can only get from their families, and we care that the Church of Scientology is attacking this just for a quick buck.

We're here because we care about our mothers. We're here because we care about our fathers. We're here because we care about our brothers and sisters, our aunts and uncles, our nephews and nieces and cousins...We're here because we care for them so much, we're willing to put ourselves at risk to stop just the CHANCE that they might be ripped away from us by the Church of Scientology.

And to the Church of Scientology, we say this: do you care? Do you care about the damage you've done, the lives you've destroyed, the families you've ripped apart using your "disconnect" policy? Do you even give a damn about these poor, lonely people you've cut off from everyone who ever loved them? Are you even able to sleep at night, knowing what you've done, or is there something you can buy with all that tax-free money that lets you shut off your conscience?

The Church of Scientology will take all your money and give you nothing in return. Actually, they will give you less than nothing. Once the money is gone, they will continue to take, and take, and take, until there's nothing left of you to throw away. Once the Church has you, you're as good as dead. Actually, you're worse than dead, because everyone who loves you will know that you're suffering in some far-off place, and that there's nothing they can do to help. Do you really want to do that to the people who love you? Force them to spend the rest of their lives wondering whatever happened to you?

To the Church of Scientology, we say STOP THIS MADNESS! It gets you nothing and takes away everything from those unfortunate enough to have fallen into your clutches. To those who are disconnected, we say that there is hope, that your families still love you, and that they miss you as much as you miss them.

And to all of you, know that we care. WE CARE.

[edit] De-Facto Leadership

• note: it might be less terminologically confusing to call these de-facto leaders "co-ordinators" (or whatever) rather than leaders.

Anonymous is leaderless, AND MUST REMAIN SO. This is so that if the Co$ shuts down, harasses, imprisons, kills, or otherwise eliminates any one Anon, the group as a whole is essentially unaffected. However, it will become readily apparent that it really does help to have someone who is sort-of, kind-of in charge at a protest, and can act both as a spokesperson and an authority figure.

It's a good idea to identify such a person from your local group, and permit them to be a leader de-facto. This position should fall to someone who is willing to give orders, who is very enthusiastic, and who isn't afraid to take charge. Often, this person will be apparent, and they may have already done leadership-like things at previous meetups or get-togethers.

The de-facto leader should still have extremely limited powers, and his/her authority should remain contingent on the willingness of other Anons to go along. A de-facto leader should be someone whom you can say no to, and who will not get bent out of shape if orders are ignored or disobeyed. Think of them as someone offering suggestions on how the protest should succede.

A de-facto leader's responsibilities should be limited to trying to keep tabs on what's happening at the protest, and ensuring other Anons are well taken care of and do not do anything stupid. De-facto leaders should also be prepared to make statements, deal with police, talk with the media and scientologists, and otherwise be an assertive and active individual. Doing things like helping fellow Anons with their costumes and rides, organizing the placement of signs, and leading the entertainment are all the sorts of things a de-facto leader should look to do.

A de-facto leader should NOT look to run around ordering and bullying fellow Anons. They should NOT make their leadership over-the-top obvious, and they should NOT assert that they are a leader to others. They are a de-facto leader because other Anons have volunteered to do what they say, and nothing more.

It is a good idea to have several de-facto leaders, or to split up leadership duties among large protest groups. For example, have one person volunteer to be in charge of public relations (media, cops, etc.) while another works to manage where signs are placed and another keeps tabs on how other Anons are doing and if they are having a good time.

De-facto leaders must understand that their power is weak and limited to their ability to politely persuade other Anons to do what they ask, and they need to never force anyone to do anything, and be willing to back down at the first sign of resistance. They must also understand that their leadership position places them in additional jeapardy, since unfriendly police and the Co$ will work harder to identify them and harass them. As such, not everyone can be a de-facto leader. But a few brave persons with previous leadership experience should step up, as this is an important position in every protest group.

[edit] Code of Conduct

Youtube Video of this message

IF ANYONE ENGAGES IN PROPERTY DESTRUCTION, DETAIN THEM FOR THE POLICE. THEY'RE PROBABLY A SCIENTOLOGIST ATTEMPTING TO DISCREDIT US. Know what agent provocateur is. This individual is IRL troll, do not feed.

How not to get arrested and Reveal too much of our internets.

1. Rules #1 and #2 of the internet still apply.
2. Stay cool.
3. Stay cool, especially when harassed. You are an ambassador of Anonymous. Although individuals trying to disrupt your demonstration will get on your nerves, you must not lose your temper. Doing so will harm the protest and tarnish the reputation of Anonymous.
4. Comply with the orders of law enforcement officers above all else. Doing otherwise is harmful to the demonstration as a whole and may compromise your performance as a human being. Do not request badge numbers unless you are being treated in a very abusive manner, as doing so will anger officers.
5. Notify city officials. Most jurisdictions either have rules about public protests, or would prefer to be notified that they are taking place. Know the rules for your jurisdiction and abide by them.
6. Always be across the street from the object being protested.
7. In the absence of a road, find another natural barrier between yourself and the target of protest. Doing so will make it more difficult for individuals hostile to your cause to come and harass you.
8. Stay on public property. You may be charged for trespassing if you do not.
9. No violence.
10. No weapons. The demonstration is a peaceful event. You are weapons. You will not need them.
11. No alcohol, marijuana or other drugs during/before the raid. Violating this rule may easily precipitate a violation of rules 1 and 2.
12. No graffiti, destruction, or vandalism.
13. If you want to do something stupid, pick another day. These should be self explanatory. Violation of these rules during a demonstration will tarnish the reputation of Anonymous, harm the demonstration itself and leave you vulnerable to attention from law enforcement.
14. Anonymous is legion. Never be alone. Isolation during a protest marks you as a target for handlers who wish to provoke an angry reaction from you and other hostiles. In keeping with this principle...
15. Organize in squads of 10 to 15 people.
16. One or two megaphones per squad. A megaphone is helpful for maintaining the overall cohesion of a demonstration and spreading your message. However, too many will confuse the public and render you hearing impaired.
17. Know the dress code. Forming a loose yet reasonable dress code for protest members will help to maintain cohesion and get the public to take you seriously.
18. Cover your face. This will prevent your identification from videos taken by hostiles, other protesters or security. Use scarves, hats and sunglasses. Masks are not necessary, and donning them in the context of a public demonstration is forbidden in some jurisdictions.
19. Bring water. A dehydrated, thirsty Anonymous is not a useful Anonymous.
20. Wear good shoes. Following these rules will assure your comfort during the demonstration. Keep in mind that demonstrations may often be quite lengthy.
21. Signs, fliers, and phrases. Have yours ready. Make sure that signs are large enough to read. Also ensure that the text on your signs and your phrases are pertinent to the target of the protest.
22. Prepare legible, uncomplicated and accurate flyers to hand out to those who wish to know more regarding the motivations behind your actions.
23. Document the demonstration. Videos and pictures of the event may be used to corroborate your side of the story if law enforcement get involved. Furthermore, posting images and videos of your heroic actions all over the internet is bound to generate win, exhorting other Anonymous to follow your glorious example.
24. Do not leave with anyone you don't know, Scientologist actively search out the names and reputations of people who speak out against them, they will attempt to infiltrate and find dirt on you.

• [Not OP]As a non-ymous I would also like to add that you should not spit during this demonstration. If there is media coverage all it would take is a quick photo of a demonstrator unknowingly spitting towards a $cientology member to tarnish the image of a peaceful protest. Please also remember that news articles always have the most eye-catching photo alongside them, so it would be best to refrain from making overly-aggressive gestures during the protest.

• Here's a good quote from an ex-OSA off of enturbulation.org that all Anons should read:

"I've been following this very closely - can't wait to see what happens on Feb 10.

I wouldn't put it past them, but they won't be able to get someone to every raid. There are OSA HQs in Florida and L.A., so those locations will be in the most danger of being infiltrated. Smaller protests, not likely. OSA wouldn't trust anyone but real insiders with that task.

Protection from this: don't have a non-speaking, silent protest, as is being discussed. Most OSA infiltrators stand out like FBI agents at Defcon, if you know what to look for.

Actually, your biggest danger is 'not' that they'll try to incite violence, but that they'll send in a private investigator to go hang out with you guys afterwards, pretend to be one of you and wait for you to take your masks off. I noticed no one's talking about this on the boards. Can you please pass this info around? OSA doesn't want you arrested yet. They want to know who you are.

Won't be hard for him/her to take pictures of you all, either, since everyone's bringing a camera.

Protection from this: Only leave the protests with long-time friends. If you have to leave the protest with an Anon you have just met, don't take your masks off in front of each other."

[edit] WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE BULLBAITED

• What is bullbaiting?

Bullbaiting, or "confront and shatter," is a common tactic used by Scientologists to "handle" suppressive persons. One or more scientologists will come out of the building and start insulting, accusing, and generally getting in picketers' faces. The goal is to get you to lose your temper and either assault or shout down the bull-baiter, so they can get that on video and press thousands of copies of it to show Scientologists how hateful their enemies are.

• What do I do?

Quite simply, you do nothing. I know it's hard, but if you do ANYthing, you may be held up as the bad guy. Let them yell and cuss and scream and, if necessary, hit you, and remember that you are the bigger and better man in this situation. If possible, ignore or move away from the bullbaiter, and alert any friendly authorities that are in the area. But whatever you do, DO NOT YELL AT THEM, DO NOT STRIKE THEM, DO NOT CURSE AT THEM DO NOT TOUCH THEM.

• But he hit me!

It's unfortunate, I know, but sometimes you just have to stand there like a mule in a hailstorm and take it. If a bullbaiter DOES strike you, though, that is against the law. You should immediately seek medical attention, and make as big a deal as you can about your injury. He may have just slapped you or stepped on your foot, but you should roll around on the ground screaming like your arm has been ripped off. This will alert everyone in the area to the fact that you are being bullbaited, and will also make it look like the bullbaiter did some serious damage, which may cause the bullbaiter to panic and run away.

• Can't I bring this criminal to justice?

If you anticipate bullbaiting, there may be ways for you to see potential bullbaiters spend a night in jail, or even pay a fine. First off, catch the entire incident on video. All of it. You need to be able to prove in a court of law that they hit you first, that you didn't do anything back, and that you did nothing wrong. Every single bullbaiter in history has always argued that they were just exercizing their right to free speech, and you need to prove that they exceeded that right. It's also a good idea to, if possible, bring a cop over and get a police report written up immediately. Make sure that you make a big deal out of any injuries you sustained, and that the cop mentions them when writing up the report. Be exceedingly polite to the cop, and act like they're some sort of superhero who just saved you from a serial rapist with razor-coated dick. They'll be sure to write up a favorable report if they think they saved you from danger just by standing there.

• How can I prevent bullbaiting from happening?

The only way to prevent bullbaiting from happening is to frighten the bullbaiters into thinking twice, which isn't easy. Remember, these people are fully willing to have you beat the crap out of them just so they can say "See? See? They're violent evil people!" But it can be done, especially if you make it clear they will be caught. The first thing you need to do is bring large, visible video cameras. The bigger the better. You want these things to be visible so that potential bullbaiters will know they're being watched. Second, you want to have an established police presence. Most bullbaiters will be wary of making a nuisance of themselves when the cops are watching. Third, if possible, you should bring people who are physically intimidating but who can be trusted not to be violent. Is that six-foot-four guy from your Algebra class doing anything this weekend? How about that reformed Hells Angel who now changes your oil? Bullbaiters will be wary of starting a fight if they think that big, heavily muscled guys might get involved.

Remember: A bullbaiter is someone who has, for whatever reason, decided to do something utterly retarded. You need to use this against them, and not be retarded. Let them yell, and curse, and be assholes. You should keep a smile on and know that you're better than them.

[edit] More Thoughts on Not Talking

I believe that these IRL raids (protests) are one of the best ways to draw real attention to the scourge that is Scientology. It will also prove to our media skeptics that Anonymous isn’t just a bunch of 14 year old hacker nerds.

I have been reading/watching other protests on sites (most notably XenuTV.com) and have come up with a few conclusions about talking that we all may want to follow:

1. CONCLUSION ONE - Talking to any Scientologist is probably a poor idea. They aren’t going to respond well to us yelling, “LOL XENU!!!” at them. Remember, they believe that if you learn about the “Wall of Fire” (A.K.A. Xenu) before OT Level 3, you will get sick and die. Nobody wants to die, not even Scientologists.

For all you fags who are saying to yourselves, “I’m going to engage them in rational, level-headed debate and I’ll win them over with my well crafted arguments.” That’s a great idea—except it won’t work.

First of all, the Scientologists already see you as an enemy. It would be like walking into an al-Qaeda meeting and saying, “Hey guys, let’s talk this whole thing out.” Also, nearly every Scientologist deeply believes what the church has to say. They would almost have to, if only to justify the tens of thousands of dollars they’ve spent on “donations.” It would be like some random dude walking up to you on the street and telling you how he knows your best friend shot 2-Pac. Sure, he could show you some “facts” that “proves” your best friend shot 2-Pac, but you know your best friend better than some idiot on the street, right? The CoS is every Scientologist’s best friend.

1. CONCLUSION TWO - Talking to other Anonymous members probably won’t help either. As others have pointed out there’s nothing stopping the Scientology members from putting on a mask and “joining” us. If this were to happen, there would also be nothing stopping them from trying to be “friendly” and giving us a fake name in an attempt to learn our real names for later purposes of harassment. If you must give a name to another Anonymous member, I suggest using a pseudonym like “Spaghetti”, “Dwayne Wayne”, "Robert West" etc. We are there to protest, not socialize. Save the chit-chat for later in the night when you’re desperately trying to pick up women at a bar.

1. CONCLUSION THREE - Talking at all is pretty much a bad idea. Once again, the Scientologists could easily “join” our ranks and try and rile up the group or do something stupid like throw a water bottle at a cop. If there is a group of 200 people silently standing with signs and one idiot being loud and obnoxious, that one idiot is going to draw the ire of the cops, not the entire Anonymous group. Now of course, a little talking when you’re handing out a flyer is fine, but again, save the pointless jibber-jabber for later.

And remember, the Scientologists will have cameras. They want to get you on camera saying/doing something that appears threatening so they can get you arrested or sue you over it. By remaining silent, you can’t be construed as threatening. This is also why it is a good idea to RECORD EVERYTHING with video, cameras, and audio recorders.

[edit] Church Handlers

Handlers are designated members of CoS who will exit a facility in an attempt to distract, engage you or disrupt demonstrations outside facilities. Their primary objective is to frustrate, annoy and in most cases force physical confrontations. Handlers have taken Scientology's Training Routines, during which they learn to engage in mindless activity/inactivity for hours on end. The routines include one that involves yelling insults and other drama at for 2-3 hours at someone who has to remain perfectly still, without even blinking.

A handler will engage demonstrators on multiple levels, usually through polite discourse at first and will become increasingly hostile and annoying as time lapses and their attempts at frustration fail. It it important to remember at all times that these Handlers will NOT physically assault you and pose no direct harm to you. They will at all times attempt to force confrontation by positioning themselves in-between demonstrators, bullying them, verbally abusing them or attempting to cover up, touch or remove video and audio recording equipment.

For an example of a handler using extreme "confront & shatter" tactics, watch this video. Be warned that Bob Minton and Jesse Prince's behavior in this video is not what you should go for. They let the handler bait them into making threats and using fighting words, both of which look bad and could have gotten them arrested. You might want to bring earplugs or a music player to take the edge off.

Try to elect Somebody to record with a video camara from a hard to reach spot so that scientologists will either not notice him or not be able to reach him. This person will be much like a carara man who will have the best view of events as they unfold.

When engaging Handlers the most effective method is by far to remain calm, assertive and aware of their position in the crowd at all times. During a demonstration, it is probably a good idea to have a demonstrator assigned to each Handler who is present to keep them occupied. At no time you should ever lose sight of them in the crowd; it is key to remember where they are at all times and to not physically engage them in any way whether by touching them accidentally or purposefully.

PROTIP: this is a VERY important point. it should be stressed constantly. if your local cell of demonstrators all have a flyer they can start reading out loud, with say, the whole batshit crazy stuff of OT-III, reciting the Wall of Fire, the Handlers will have been neutralized with little to no effort, with the bonus of creating massive lulz. a quick way to go about this, is to use this link, print the first part of this document out (starts with "The head of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around larger stars visible from here) blablabla " and distribuite it to everyone partecipating in your demonstration. http://sf.irk.ru/www/ot3/spaink-ot3.html A more readable summary of the OTIII info (though not in LRH's words) may be found at http://www.partyvan.info/index.php/OTIII

• Not sure if this would actually work. The handlers would probably assume you were making it up.

  Use this.

Mitigating them:

• Handlers will walk amongst you and in front of and to the side of you - don't get in their way, don't shove them do NOT touch them in any way or they will call the police, this is an intentional trick.

• The handlers will accuse you being a pedophile, a bigot or a drug addict, or something equally batshit (one of their favorite words is "bigot" -- "you're an anti-religious bigot"); ignore that - it's what they're there to do. Always remain calm with them and never allow them to take control of the situation. If they take control of the situation you may never get it back from them.

• Handlers practice a tactic called Q&A they will attempt to level with you, engage you in discussion - do not tell them anything personal or private. They will eventually attempt to exploit whatever you tell them. Keep in mind, while they may be civil early on, they become more agitated and aggressive as the day wears on.

• Cameramen are particularly prone to harassment, handlers will routinely get in your way, put their hands in front of your cameras and impede your movement.

• If you bring your car, do not leave anything personal in it or quite frankly, anything you would not want stolen from you.

• If you bring a cell phone, make sure you do not have it in plain sight on your person, keep it on you at all times in case you need it but be mindful of it being stolen by "someone"

• Watch Bob Minton's IRL protest in Clearwater Florida on YouTube; he is extremely good at handling the handlers and you can learn a great deal about their bull-baiting methods from him - http://youtube.com/watch?v=QewalTnfkU0

• • Mark "Wise Beard Man" Bunker also has an archive of videos detailing protests he attended between 1996 and 2001. His handling-the-handlers technique is also excellent, but if you're not similarly quickwitted it's better to say nothing. http://xenutv.com/pickets/index.html

• Be mindful of driveways, do NOT impede driveways or they will call the authorities about it.

• If you record, let the Handlers know, be stern, be polite and use their tactics. Announce that anything they say/do will be recorded, and can and will be used against them, let them know that the media will be released under Creative Commons and that any defamation of character at the persons or CoS expense due to release of media is out of your hands. Let them know that they can choose to reserve their rights by walking away and leaving Anon protest in peace. Talk over the top of them to get this point across, don't let them act until they know this information. If Handlers attempt to use vulgar language toward you, remind them of how CoS feels about such language and the negativity it breeds they are often caught off guard by that.

• Handlers will often ask for your name, ask them theirs in return - usually they make up a name like "Travis" or "Roger" if they even decide to give you a name it is most likely fake so do the same in kind and tell them your name is Robert West.

• Handlers will often ask you why you are outside a CoS location explain your grievances are not with them or the people of their religion but with the policies set fourth by their leaders who willingly suppress information from them. Assure the Handlers that you understand they are just doing what they are asked to by superiors who they believe are their friends and ultimately, the bringers of their salvation - make them feel like you feel bad for them [which you should!]

• Ask the Handler who is engaging you whether or not he or she [likely a he] is an OT. If he/she is not, ask them where an OT is and why one won't come out and speak with you.

• Handlers will often come out in crews much like Umpires in Major League Baseball. They do this for a number of reasons, the largest being to assert dominance over a crowd. They will initially not say anything but will stand around for a while sizing up the situation. Anyone who is short, young quiet will be their first targets they will always go for someone they have sized up as weak or culpable. Generally there will be an odd number of them usually three, sometimes five; most will engage the demonstrations the rest will roam around with video equipment. If they attempt to take your picture and you're not afraid of them [which you shouldn't be] give them a nice smile and a thumbs up, that pisses them off to know they're not getting to you.

• If there is an ice cream truck nearby, a coffee truck ,a grease wagon - offer the Handlers some coffee, cookies - some kind of food. They probably won't take it from you but if you CAN get them to take it from you, have a cameraman snap his picture discreetly taking food from a demonstrator. Handlers are not supposed to accept gifts from WOGs and that can make for some fun LULZ by sending it to OSA.

• If you happen to see a fellow anon being attacked by a Handler, being asked questions that he/she cannot answer, come to his/her aid. Do NOT engage in any violent or abrasive manner. We are all in this together, we are legion, united as one, divided by zero.

[edit] IRL Copypasta

• Scientologist WILL approach you and ask questions such as "What crimes have you committed". one Anonymous related one especially effective response on /i/ "in a previous life I was L Ron Hubbard I made up a load of BULLSHIT, and conned people into bankrupting themselves to pay for it". Moar suggestions plz. Preferably use terms from within the churchy to prove to them we know what we're talking about (xenu is only OTIII and above) but thetans and reincarnation is basic stuff. we need our own verbal spam to counter theirs.
  

Ideas:

Take advantage of the fact that Xenu is OT3+ and takedown notices/court cases are public, i.e. "Well, I tried publishing what the Church of Scientology claimed was a trade secret."

Take a leaf out of their book when they ask what crimes you've committed use examples from the CO$. so:

"I infiltrated the IRS and destroyed loads of documents pertaining to my cult that I didn't want anyone to see"

"I forced a mother to deny her ptsIII schizophrenic son psychiatric treatment and he stabbed her on L Ron Hubbard's birthday"

"I put a woman who'd had a psychotic break on an introspection rundown, for 17 days eventually causing her to die of malnourishment, dehydration , infection from bedsores and being bitten by cockroaches."

Edit: This was on one of the forums I was one but it said to respond something along the lines of

"You have a family that misses you"

"You have people outside the church that love you"

• Sometimes they wont listen and keep repeating the question just trying to irritate you. In that case you could just point out that this question is a fallacy. They are either attacking you instead of your argument (argumentum ad hominem) or their favorite "argument by question" or the "loaded question", see more details in http://www.don-lindsay-archive.org/skeptic/arguments.html#question and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_many_questions.

Keep explaining this and say to them that only ignorants or morons commit such fallacies. They will probably not back down but it will make them look like idiots in front of the cameras and you'll have a valid reason not to answer such stupid question.

• If they ask for your name, then reply with a name of a victim of Scientology. There are many to choose from.

Susan Meister Former scientologist, died from a bullet in her forehead aboard Hubbard's ship

Casey Hill Prosecutor with the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney-General, now a judge

Francis G. Diamond http://www.lermanet.com/scientologynews/clearwatersun/cwsun-0825-1981.htm

Gabe Cazares Former Clearwater mayor

Jennifer Stewart Victim of rape by a former chief supervisor at the Church of Scientology

Jeremy Perkins Scientologist, schizophrenic, left untreated

Lawrence Wollersheim Former scientologist

Lisa McPherson Died under the care of the Church of Scientology

Maria Pia Gardini Former scientologist, lost millions to Scientology

Mary Florence (Flo) Barnett David Miscavige's mother in law, committed suicide with four bullets from a rifle, three to the chest, one to the head

Quentin Hubbard Son of L. Ron Hubbard, committed suicide

Patrick Vic Committed suicide because he couldn't find enough money for the Purification Rundown

Paulette Cooper Writer, author of Scandal of Scientology

Raul Lopez Mentally impaired Raul Lopez was $1.7 million richer before Scientology

Roxanne Friend Former scientologist, drugged, kidnapped, imprisoned by Scientologists when she attempted to leave

• ALTERNATIVE METHOD:

Organize for every protester at the rally to respond to them only with things such as.

I am anonymous.

I am legion.

I do not forget.

I do not forgive.

This method will unnerve the oppressors to no end.

[edit] Audio Warfare [?]

Let them know that you know what they do.
Let them know that you have their materials.
Let them hear what Ex-scientologists have to say.

Play audio clips of all of the above at rallies.

(Many protests seemed to have loudspeaker equipment already, make use of it for the above)

Reduce conflict -- you can't bullbait a recording! <-----thats one of the best ideas on this page

To reduce possibility of 'noise control problems', rather than continuous play, which could genuinely be disruptive, play short excerpts intermittently (from time-to-time)

[edit] /I/ndependent Operations

[edit] Dealing with Scientology stalls

If you are on your own, and you see one of those dumbfuck leaflet stalls handing out idiocy, you are not powerless. You see it, and you know, that you are the only one who can do anything about it. (I'll stop now, that sucks)

It is a simple thing to feign interest. Bear in mind that for all their leaflets there usually are no more than two or three people manning such stalls regardless of organisation, and you can very effectively tie them up for extended periods of time. The longer it lasts, the more they feel a need to get a concrete result from you to justify their effort, allowing you to string them along surprisingly easily. Take as many leaflets as they will give you, and ditch them. If you can't stop, just walk briskly and reach out to grap the flyers - then grab more when you go back; if you move fast they almost certainly won't remember you. If they are away from the booth talking at some poor suckers, exploit this to rifle through the stand under a guise of interest, nabbing all the material you can. If they approach you, drop anything you cant instantly hide bar one flyer and say you need to get going, but can you take this? -- and then destroy their crap surreptitiously (like, several blocks away, or in your own home).

The Co$ likes to look bigger than it is; take that 1billion people shit from the CROOZE VIDYA. Let them know that we own media saturation.

Just an idea, but if your city has laws against people doing stuff like this on the street maybe ask for a permit. If they ask why just say you are a concerned neighbor or something

[edit] Operation: Happy Birthday Lisa (deprecated post February 10th)

This idea is fairly new. Is it a good one?

Call/write/fax/web-form/email you local radio stations greetings/music shows and wish Lisa McPherson happy birthday. Dedicate Never Gonna Give You Up to her. Or another song with some connection to this. Do it in respect of her memory.

These shows often just mention first names and often your greeting will be shortened, tacked on to other greetings on a different song, or completely dropped. But at least try. Radio stations in the Clearwater area for extra win. Act locally rather than just piling on. Turn on your radio right now, find a greeting show, call/message it. Recording it would be nice, but even if you can't record it do it.

Write a sincere greeting to her. Level of detail might vary. THE FOLLOWING IS NOT DELICIOUS COPYPASTA, just a general idea.

• "Requesting Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley for Lisa. Happy brithday. -- [Your first name]"
• "Happy Birthday Lisa. I think about you a lot and I'm looking forward to tomorrow." (if it's requested the night before), "I want to dedicate Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley to you - I know it's kinda campy, but it brings me back to those good times. -- [Your first name]"
• "Happy Birthday Lisa. We still think about you a lot. I want to dedicate Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley to you - I know it's kinda campy, but it brings me back to the good times when you were still among us. -- [Your first name],[even more real first names]" ;_;
• "Hello, we are Anonymous. On Lisa McPherson's birthday February 10th, in her honor we are demonstrating against the criminal acts of the leadership of Scientology which lead to her death. We're gathering at [location]. Anyone showing up should be peaceful and orderly, but be aware that the Scientology org will photograph and stalk you, so wear sunglasses and a hat and don't go straight home afterwards."

That last one is highly unlikely to go through. It just serves as an establishment of a range in which you can work.

I just heard a radio DJ read out information and greetings about soccer games and family reunions happening on Sunday. So depending on the show, not just birthday greetings go through.

There are two rules to ensure reading on the air.

• Keep it simple
• Make it elaborate and interesting.

Since these two rules contradict each other, it would be good to be at least two identities who each send in two very different greetings to each show.

Anon adds: David Davidson is particularly keen on radio shout-outs to Lisa and other former and current victims of Scientology.

[edit] Operation: Crossover

What an unimaginative name...

I suggest we print off resource packs (I have compiled one out of the Protest Resource Pack, complete with a covering letter here) and distribute them to parishoners or we attach them to church doors in an attempt to raise the profile of scientology amongst other religious circles. They are likely to be sympathetic to our cause if we highlight the humanitarian aspect. It would be a great accomplishment if we could cause discussion of the evils of scientology in these religious circles.

> could we get some Jewish/Muslim/Other coverletters, too?

[edit] Operation: Feed The Squirrels

This is something to do this coming Summer. Lucky for Anonymous, that gives him plenty of time to save his Golds for it.

Scientologists ALWAYS have a booth in the vendors area of every County Fair or Exposition where they can pimp their bullshit to the cotton candy sated masses. Always.

If you and your friends have plenty of moneys, contact your closest local FreeZone and offer to pay for a booth for them as well. FreeZone is a "squirrel" organization of ex-scientologists who offer the same scientologist bullshit but for free. It may still be L. Ron's steaming crap, but at least the official Cult o' Scientology isn't getting any moneys for it. And while FreeZoners are generally very very wierd, they aren't the evil asshat crapweasels that the official scientologists are.

The best part of this is that you will specifically NOT be attacking scientology's religion or beliefs so the general public can't be persuaded by scientology to think you're bigoted or anti-religion or whatever (their usual anti-SP tactic). You're just offering their beliefs for free (and giving people a taste of their bullshit free of charge before they pay their moneys to get sucked into it). Scientology doesn't really give a shit about helping people, they just want their moneys, and this takes those moneys right out of their grasp. This is why scientology's leadership HAETS FreeZoners even more than regular SPs or even the dreaded Psychs.

At first the poor low level scientologist drones staffing their booth won't know what to do. Then their handlers will arrive. When their handlers see things, they will FREAK OUT. SRSLY. Violence will ensue.

Bring a camcorder. Send a tape to your local news agency. MEGA LULZ.

[edit] Operation: Hide The Children

As many of the younger Anonymous know, colleges and schools have reconvened for a second semester/term/ect., and this leaves us with a splendid oppertunity at defending the young from a foolhardy mistake.

Simply put, spread the word at the college level. Set up booths to hand out the truth about Scientology, post it on bulletin boards, hand it out to the masses on foot. Prevent others from suffering fiscally at the hands of the CoS, especially now, as the US economy teeters on the edge of a recession.

A secondary goal is to recruit students, for example IT specialists and Computer Scientists at the campuses in order to use their skills to further batter the CoS. At a law school, one might choose to use the law students in order to respond against the legal threats we will inevitably recieve. Utilizing these brave souls in the name of Anonymous would greatly help our cause.

And once again, by doing it this way, peacefully, you are merely providing information, and this can and will protect you in a court of law.

Partying With a Purpose is a good legal way to dissemninate information to college students and get them on our side. Why not host a Free Xenu party at your school? Advertise it well in advance with plenty of flyers. It should work wonders, and at the very least, a party is a party

College Students Guide to on Campus Actions against Scientology

Phase 1: Use internets to find anti-scientology information for use in leaflets and posters -http://www.whyaretheydead.net/mirror/xenu.ca/pickets/leaflets.html -http://www.partyvan.info/index.php/Image:ScientologyWarningPoster.png -http://www.partyvan.info/index.php/Image:ScientologyXenuWarningPoster.jpg -http://www.partyvan.info/index.php/Project_Chanology/Target_IRL

Phase 2: Contact college administrations to find out about protest and information dissemination on the campus. -College websites often provide search functions that will make this easier -Contact members of other protest groups to find out the procedure the used to clear the protest with the college.

Phase 3: Date, Time, Location

-Selection of these items is important because you want to get maximum impact.

-Chose a date when there will be maximum people on campus, campus tours, some colleges do mid semester orientations, Avoid Fridays because they are the most skipped days and people are generally trying to get off campus as soon as possible

-Time, Mid-day (10:00am-2:00pm) is the best time for this because these times are when most classes are occurring, This creates a tide effect in traffic, in the time between classes the will be more people out therefore creating a lot of exposure, and when classes start again, traffic dies down allowing for a break, reloading on leaflets, and talking more to people about the topic.

- A note on time management, if a person requests to speak further on the topic try to get them to come back during a slower traffic time, this will slightly increase the efficiency of the information dissemination because you will be more free during high traffic times.

-Location. Location. Location. You want to chose a location that has the highest potential for traffic, the easiest way to do this is to observe the foot traffic patterns while on campus, Is the a section the majority of students walk by? A place where large groups of people loiter?

-A good stratagem would be to observe where other on campus protests take place

Phase 4: Study up

-Handing out leaflets is all well n’ good, but you have to be prepared for questions to be asked.

-Read the available documents relating to the shady activities of scientologists

Phase 5: Preparations

-Advertise the event around campus and on social networking sites that student frequent.

-Put fliers on campus event boards

-Buy a freakin’ face covering device. Remember, you probably want to remain anonymous. Paper bags with eye holes qualify. Also, you do not want your face covering muffling your voice.

-You can openly protest, but it is not advisable

-Print or copy plenty of fliers and handouts for the protest.

-Obtain video camera in case of scientologist aggression.

-Have an escape route planned in case of heavy aggression.

Phase 6: The day

-Wear you Face covering at all times during the day, this reduces the chance of retaliation

-Be efficient, Stay the for the chosen time period

-Get to the location

-Talk to as many people

-Get the info out there

-Leave the location

This is just a rough guide to action, Feel free to make changes

[edit] Operation: Cruise Control

The best way to hit Tom Cruise and the psychotic cult he figureheads is at the Box Office. We need to ensure that all his movies FLOP. If we can kill his perceived ability to sell movie tickets, he will rapidly find himself out of work and relegated to the ranks of B list has-beens. Lets see him try to sell Scientology on midnight infomercials next to Kirstie Allie whoring for Fat Watchers.

This should be easy, in theory, especially as the mainstream is already wary of his odd activity. Truth to tell, the crap films that smirking dicknibbler has made lately have been crap. Action film or not, any man who wants to see him act must be a dyed in the wool faggot. But there are still many many middle aged American and European housewives with fond memories of Risky Business desperate to see his pasty ass flounce about in tighty whiteys again. In Japan, this phenomenon would probably be related to Yaoi; Anonymous does not want to know what it means for western cultures (but it's not good). Unfortunately, the Womens Liberation Movement has allowed women the right to choose what movies they see, and Tom's acting career has been floated thereby for decades. Worse yet, housewives are impervious to Anonymous' flawlessly logical methods of persuasion (Tits or GTFO).

But there is hope. Tom's outburst of hate filled anti psychiatrist anti depression medication nuttiness on Oprah (herself the Divine Prophet of the Cult of Aggressive Estrogen) made a big crack between him and his female core following. The fallout was bad enough to make Mission Implausible 3 fail in theaters and lose Tom his fat studio contract. It can also be noted that women dislike the idea of him keeping his wife silent during childbirth. Keep reminding them of that, too, and they'll want to bitchslap that fag into next year. Tried and Tested.

We need to keep this trend going. We can't rely on Tom publically freaking out in an woman's forum again, so at every opportunity Anonymous needs to subtly remind women about Tom and his creepy woman hateing behavior. Anonymous needs to mention his deep connection to the scary woman hateing cult of Scientology (Remember Lisa McPherson) with it's rituals of forcing abortions on women (according to Elron's own son). Keeping the creepy Goebbelsesque interview on the interwebs and showing it to as many women as possible and explaining to them that he is talking about destroying all who disagree with Scientology is a good start. Panning all his movies on various film review sites and DVD sales sites is also good. Inserting Tom and Scientology fact sheets onto the shelves next to his movies at video stores will help (and potentially very lulzy). Finally, picket theaters when they play his films.

If you really want to see his terrible tripe, then get a torrent client and google '[movie] torrent' (or search for it on isohunt.com or btjunkie.org). Write DVDs of it and distribute them to anyone who wants to see this, possibly with a frame of goatse inserted subliminally every now and then.

Keep up the pressure Anonymous. Stop those box office and DVD sales by any means possible. Destroy his image and you destroy his career. Destroy his career and you destroy his ability to pimp Scientology. Downstat him enough, and he just might disappear for therapy in an RPF gulag. Tom is Fair Game. You know what to do.

Simply down vote his movies on any site. For example rottentomatoes.com

• What you propose is almoust scifaclike behavior. Picketing in front of movie theaters is a better way to show our protest.

More...

Tom Cruise and production partner Paula Wagner were moved to MGM's division of United Artists after Paramount very intelligently dropped him/them becuase of his pathetic behaviour. MGM was trying to reserect the fledeling studio and offered them the deal including making his production partner head of UA and giving them an ownership deal no doubt inflating his ego more. This year they are releasing something like five movies(not all starring cruise) If they flop then the studio will come down and Hollywwod will officialy shun Tom out into the universe. I am not joking we are talking $500 million they will need to recoup if the shit hits the fans on their movies. Production schedules can be fooled with. Protests while they are filming, bombarding etc... will mean something like half a million dollars a day. Send a message to MGM that they should know better than to support him. This needs coordination...?

• What five movies would these be?

• • IMDB lists these: (for 2008) TOM CRUISE, ACTING IN: Tropic Thunder, Men, Valkery; PRODUCING: Pinkville, Something Borrowed, Valkery, Death Race. PAULA WAGNER, PRODUCING: The Few, Pinkville, Something Borrowed, Valkerie, Death Race, The Eye.

• • There are some other things there to remember to boycott next year, as well.

[edit] Operation: Dox Dissemination

When performing ANY irl raiding activity, first download this file and follow instructions:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=692NNGHF

Essentially it contains an .iso to be burned to CD which has the dox from the 66 mb .rar from earlier. Others are welcome to update these dox. It also contains a brief message to scientologists, copy pasta to wrap the CDs in and .iso burning software if you don't have it.

RAR file with over 9000 anon fliers. (check out scio1s1s.png and scam.pdf, as well as others) d/l links- [12], [13], or [14]

[edit] Operation: Best Defense

move this to Project Chanology/Protection.

Because many anons have reported being followed and found after the February 10th raids, and because of the recent mysterious death of Shawn Lonsdale, steps need to be taken to ensure the safety of our fellow anonymous and our /b/rothers who have, among other things, been trailed to their homes.

• Follow the followers. Spy on the spies. When you notice a scifag spying on your or someone else, take pictures and wave. Get as much info about the followers as you can -- names, license plate numbers, video, etc.
• Give 'em a taste of their own medicine - Because the best defense for this sort of thing is a good offense, try these devious ideas out for epic lulz:
  • Restraining orders are a beautiful thing. With info and evidence in hand, get restraining orders filed against the scifags following you.
  • If all else fails, go house raiding. Get a bunch of anons in masks and garb and just stand out in front of their house for hours on end, in silence.
• One tip for potentially losing people for those among us with a little more money to burn: Some high-end hotels have a security guard at the elevators. Simply rent a room prior to the raid and store a nice suitcase and spare clothes in there. By the time your tail has managed to check in to get a key, you've called the front desk, checked out, and are riding down the elevator. Be sure you're getting out of town when you do this, if they've got your face they just have to wait for you to leave. If you choose to do this and share a room, leave one at a time and take separate taxis to your local airport/bus terminal. If you're carpooling, have one person drive around town and pick up the others at pre-arranged meeting points.
• Take an empty backpack to raids (Or one the had your freebie cake in it). If you are worried about being followed head to a cinema and go see a film that has just started or is starting soon. Your tail wont know what youve gone to see and the ticket collecter wont let them through. Sit somwhere in the middle. In the darkness remove your mask / scarf and jacket. At the end of the film head out along with the regular movie goers looking suitably different. Bonus points if your cinema is one that allows you direct access to the street. Bail ASAP through the front door and escape. Epic lulz if you get your scifag tail to sit through Hannah Montanna 3D.

[edit] Legal Issues

I am starting a Project Chanology/Legal Issues page with the hope of getting help to document the various legal things to keep in mind for IRL protests, including documentation of various local statutes etc.
