Protest To Survive

Rah and I took the Captain out for a long walk around town (literally) in the beautiful spring sun, and everyone wanted to come say hello and pet the silly speckle-dog with the bright purple tail wagging all over the place. He ate up all the attention and positively pranced by my side at times.

We spent the rest of the day making protest signs and gluing them to sticks. We now have 10 signs, one double-sided, for our war against the SciCos. Jesse's sick and will be acting as our internet liasion from home, also dogsitter.

The protests in Australia have already begun and it's looking like we have not lost any steam since 2/10. One thing that HAS changed is that the CoS has begun fighting back.

For example, a guy on SomethingAwful who was at 2/10 had a Scientologist claiming to be "representing the sheriff's office" come to his home and deliver the following items:







The DVD contains clips of what are claimed to be threats of terrorist bombings by Anonymous, posted on YouTube, but the video quality of those clips is much higher than YouTube compression allows. HMMM.

The gentleman is in contact with the real cops re: the impersonation of a police officer.

In other news, CoS attempted to get an injunction against Anonymous. Twice. It was shot down both times.Cue another bomb scare at a SciCo office building, and of course the bomb turned out to be a suitcase with personal effects inside. We got blamed for that one, too. My theory is that there really was a bomb, until Tom Cruise used his super powers to transform it into a Bible and some undies in the nick of time. How cool is he!?

In final news, a leaked email indicated the Super Secret SciCo plan: Operation "LET'S BRING OUR CHILDREN OUT OF THE ORGS AND TRY TO GET ANONYMOUS ARRESTED FOR ASSAULTING THEM!"

That's the best they could do in a whole month? Their own babies as human shields!? Sad, but not entirely unexpected from a religion notorious for coercing Sea Org members into abortion so they wouldn't have to spend any of that precious time and money on their children.

They also split up Sea Org families so the kids can be sent to work (and usually not school) while the parents are elsewhere on missions, and if they're lucky and work hard and don't make any trouble, they might get permission to visit their parents as a reward. Having the visits to dangle over people's heads must be how they get so much hard work in return for their $45 buck a week salaries.

The human shield thing seems like a logical progression to me. But still, ugh.

Minnesota Anons, see you at the protests! We'll be handing out party hats and particle masks.
