Wise Beard Man Arrested For Protesting Scientology (1)

Months after a cult member defaced a protester's car, then restrained and assaulted the protester in a fake "citizen's arrest" when he approached to intervene, the Gold Base public property controversy continues to smolder.

Observe as Mark Lowell is arrested for "blocking the driveway" by standing on the city-owned easement. Fellow activists are then instructed by police to relocate their protesting to a residential zone down the block, which would be breaking the law.

The video showing Bunker's beard being arrested will follow as soon as it's posted. I keep thinking, it must be great to have so much power that you can forbid people to walk past your property. Too bad about the whole "eternal damnation" thing, though.

"Operation Slickpubes" Operative Arrested

Once upon a time in the faraway land of Lulzia, a severely retarded member of Anonymous volunteered to have his body slathered with Vaseline in the name of Project Chanology. His partners in crime contributed wads of donated pubic hair and toenail clippings to the slippery brew. Once his preparations were complete, the intrepid space monkey frolicked through a Scientology building to share his wonderful blessings with the Org's many grateful employees.



Several days later, epic legalities ensued.

Scientology, You Suck So Much Ass

John Travolta's son just died because of a seizure. I think it needs to be mentioned that Travolta's church, the Cult of Scientology, strictly forbids its members to take medication for epilepsy-related conditions. Or any conditions, actually. Poor kid.

I'm not saying anything so dramatic as "the cult killed Jett," but their harmful treatments for life-threatening illnesses do cause death, and have done so many times already.

Did Jett's parents secretly obtain treatment for their son's condition, against the explicit teachings of L. Ron Hubbard? If so, how can John continue to publicly support and represent an organization that seeks to do away with the entire medical industry and replace it with LRH tech, while in private reaping that same industry's benefits for himself?

Rest assured the cult won't be shedding any tears over the death of Jett. He had what family friends have described as completely untreated autism (his parents wave it away as Kawasaki Syndrome, but I've seen photos and the kid was a toe-walker). In the cult of his parents, that disability made Jett a "degraded being" and therefore better off dead. They rarely took him out in public, and the only therapy he recieved for his impairment was an herbal detox straight from L Ron's big book of quack remedies. You bet your sweet ass that pisses me off.

There are thousands of children and adults in the cult whose life-threatening conditions go without treatment. Some of them are younger and more helpless than Jett was. I really hope Travolta will withdraw his support of Scientology now that he has seen first-hand that LRH tech does not work. Jett was not healed by vitamins. He was not elevated above his degraded beinghood.

And he's not the only one.

I pray the Travolta family does some serious thinking about the other children of Scientologists who suffer on a daily basis and even die because their parents truly believe that vitamins and e-meters cure everything. As a prominent member of the cult and as a father of a child with disabilities, Travolta is trusted by these parents. They look to him for an example.

So be a good example, John. Don't be the moonbat hypocrite who spouts a dangerous anti-medicine credo that kills people's sons. Don't step across the grave of your child with that Scientology banner held high. Turn to the people who can still be saved and use your influence to rescue as many as you can.

Edit: Then again, the brainwashing dickweeds probably have him in session as we speak to ensure that this very thing doesn't happen. Bad for business, don't you know.

Assholes.

Scientologists To The Rescue!

As if pushing aside trained aid workers and trauma counselors to recruit and 'detoxify' shellshocked Katrina and 9/11 survivors wasn't brazen enough...

Scientology announces plans to flood the blood-spattered streets of Mumbai with self-improvement pamphlets. Because nothing says "We will get through this together" like a catalog.



"Gee, L. Ron, I think I left my wallet in my other pants. Along with most of my leg."

Anonymous Raid On Gold Base Turns Violent

This was my first protest at Gold and it seemed to be a routine one (well, as routine as a protest with 100db creepy organ music going on in the background could possibly be).

We got there around noon and tried to take the Scilons by surprise. Myself and Xenubarb jumped out of the van and started filming the guard shack (there was nothing else going on that we could see). About 15 minutes later, they started up the organ music and had pulled the shades down in the guard shack.

We called the cops after we arrived as a courtesy and so did the Scilons. When they showed up, I was confronted by a cop who told me that it would make his job easy if I gave him my name (I was wearing a mask). I told him no, even though he asked me several times. It was this same cop that eventually arrested AnonOrange (which is kind of funny, since I basically told him in so many words that I knew he was working for the scilons. He tried, not very convincingly, to pretend to be upset by my insinuation).

Fast forward several hours (I’ll relate details of our successful enturbulating later) and we were getting ready to leave. The scilon security vehicle that had been going back and forth parking next to our vehicle was next to our van again. There was also another car parked on the side of the road (which turned out to be another scilon security vehicle, some cheap Toyata ecomony car), that AnonOrange spotted on side of the road. He said to me, “that car looks suspicious, I’m going to check it out.” Meanwhile, I was checking on the rest of our group, which was coming down the hill from Golden Era Productions, to make sure they had all our stuff.

When I glanced back the other way, I saw a bald security guard running across the dirt road where the scilon security vehicle was and heard loud yelling. Camera in hand, I ran over as fast as I could and saw three scilon security goons who had AnonOrange pinned down in the dirt. One of them had his knee planted on AnonOrange’s neck and was forcing his face down into the dirt. AnonOrange was pleading with them to let him up and let him breathe. I was faced with an extremely difficult dilemma; get involved and try and pull them off of AnonOrange, get in a fight and possibly get namefagged or keep the camera rolling and document this shit. God help me, I decided to go with the camera option, figuring maybe I could talk some sense into these wackos.

I’m working on editing the video and will have it up as quickly as I can.

In the meantime, I’ll summarize what you’re going to see.

I told the scilons that this video is going straight onto YouTube, so they’d better think about what they’re doing. The main one, Danny, who’d been surveilling our vehicle all day, told me that AnonOrange had trespassed onto their private property and they were making a citizen’s arrest. I told him that they did not have the authority to try and restrain AnonOrange in the manner that they were (they were trying to tie him up with plastic ties, wtf??). They said that he and I were on private property and that I should leave. I said I wasn’t going to leave without AnonOrange.

At one point, AnonOrange yelled out for us to get his camera. XenuBarb made a go of it and tried to get it. The scilons went after her and I got involved (I wasn’t going to stand by for that), pushing them away from her. They slammed her up against their Toyota, which you will see on the video.

I called out to I’mglib and RIF to call the cops, who took forever to show up. When they did, they arrested AnonOrange for trespassing and gave the scilons a pass (big surprise, given that the cop who showed up for this was in their pocket from the get-go).

More details (promise) to follow.

More videos will be posted soon, but this is pretty good already.

Hurray for assault and kidnapping! LRH tech delivers.

PANIC! AT THE OLD HEIDELBERG II

Me: Now where'd I put that audiobook? Maybe I put it on the external drive.
Maxtor Backup Drive: Haha, folder corrupt.
Me: What, the whole thing?
Maxtor Backup Drive: Yup. Pretty much the whole thing.
Windows: That folder's empty for real though.
Me: Shut up, Microsoft. YOU JUST ATE 450 GIGS' WORTH OF DATA?
Maxtor Backup Drive: Oh. Um, so did you not want me to fail, then?
Me: ARGGHHLBARGLL

Seebs is sodomizing the drive at the moment with his sonic screwdriver. He says the files show up. As to whether they're usable, all is mystery.

I can replace the iTunes stuff (they allow you to re-get lost content) that makes up a good chunk of the lost date. My giant audiobook collection, videos, all the saved images and data I was moving around... not so much.

FUCK.

For once, however, my art, music and comic files are in no danger since they still exist on the main system.

Scientology forgoes torturing cats in favor of hassling the disabled

Crazy shit! Stu Wyatt, beloved SA goon and physically disabled Anon protester, has been arrested and charged with assault against a Scientologist woman. Said woman followed him around as he navigated his electric scooter, trying to stick her foot underneath with a cry of "Wolf! Wolf!" that struck mild confusion into the hearts of all who saw it. And then she called the cops and filed a complaint.

Oh, but guess what? STU GOT THE WHOLE THING ON TAPE!



You can skip to around 4:00 if you want to see the actual 'assault' in all its fingernail-pulling cringe humor glory, or watch the whole thing from start to finish to earn valuable prizes.

I don't know if I can stand up long enough to do Sea ARRRGH. My leg isn't really up to scratch, and if I got a wheelchair I'd feel like a faker. That arm still gets weak much more quickly than normal, so I'm still not even really up to the challenge of that hypothetical pimp cane I was musing over earlier today.

Six hours standing and walking around makes my feet hurt when I'm at my buffest. And as Wyatt's video suggests, a physically impaired person on his own in a strange city might be a tempting target for these dorks.

Hmm. Perhaps if I chop it off at the thigh, I can replace it with a peg leg and really get authentic with the whole pirate theme.

Here are some wise words o' warning for everyone else hoisting a jolly roger in preparation for Saturday's protests:

The R.A. warns Anonymous to guard against the escalating pattern of "Body Bullbaiting." This physical form of Bullbaiting consists of a pattern of elbows, shoulders, and feet of Scientologists hatted in physical instigation "accidentally" bumping into Anons while uttering slurs under their breath. OSA's goal is to have an aggressive Anon physically assault a Scientologist when the Scientologist "Accidentally" bumped into the Anon. OSA targets for Body Bullbaiting are Male Anons who are physically and vocally aggressive. Female Anons can also expect some elbows and shoulders from female Scientologists.

The Killing Joke

So the Scientology cult had their annual bookathon the other day, and something very interesting happened.

They sold 2,257 Scientology handbooks. Previous tallies include 33,944 in 2007 and 49,000 in 2005, according to Enturbulation.org. Dozens and dozens of orgs this year sold zero books, in what might just be the most epic fail yet.

Could this drop in cult sales possibly be the doing of a certain group of shiftless internet tough guys hanging around the Orgs with funny masks and fact sheets for the past four months? It's impossible to say for sure, but the smart money is on "hell yeah."

You know, I keep running into interwebs naysayers who think this movement is all just a big joke that has done no harm whatsoever to Scientology. Well, they're half right--it IS a joke. But a 94% drop in church book sales in one year is one doozy of a punchline, don't you think?

In conclusion, the lulz do good things for society. And it's not the only time this has happened:

Stetson Kennedy, a reporter for the short-lived lefty newspaper PM, went undercover into the Klan, learning the secret passwords and countersigns used by the Grand Dragon "Doc" Green's vicious Klavern No. 1 of Atlanta. For sport, Kennedy passed on the info to writers of the Superman radio show about that comic-book character whom Wade calls "the ultimate antifacist."

-From here.

That incident is generally blamed/thanked for dragging the Klan out of the shadows of respectability and turning it into a freakshow. Membership plunged and, some say, never recovered.

Scientology is nowhere near as bad as the Klan, of course. Yet. Any society, no matter how marginal, whose end goals for our planet include the forced elimination of the physically and mentally disabled, not to mention the eradication of several races it just plain doesn't like, needs to be squished and squished hard, on sheer principle, and as quickly as possible so it doesn't spread.

If all it takes to do that is a nice hard belly-laugh at Miscavige's expense, that's a good thing and I'm grateful for it.

Anonymous and Scientology are WORST ENEMIES AGAIN

The meeting between Tamphex and the Sea Org has been called on account of fair gaming:

Remember my PI friend a few months ago with his video camera and his silly dog? Well, for the last week or so there's been a guy around fifty, white hair and beard parked directly across the road from my apartment. Sometimes hes there when I look out and sometimes hes not. To the casual observer, just a guy waiting for someone or whatever. However this morning I looked out as I was getting ready for the flier run and noticed he was once again parked in the same spot, but a closer inspection revealed that directly below the drivers side door on the road was about 20 cigarette butts to which he added his 21st as he looked up at me.

Now this may not be much until you start putting things together- remember those dodgy movies that show a person on a stakeout and it shows all the cig butts on the ground to show how long they've been sitting there? Also when I left for the raid he was gone again. And then my two friends from the Castlereagh Dianetics Centre and the Sea Org turn up at Darling Harbor. Magically locating me in a pretty large city amongst a lot of people.

And to add a little more salt; the number supplied to me from my so concerned pal from the Sea Org was the actual contact number for Vicki Dunston. Google that name but throw in the words OSA at the end. And here's her husband:

"Dunstan, John – Systems Off Gold, ANZO RPF "

It's pretty clear to me now that they're got the target on me. And it's not just myself. Emma from the ESKSCN (Ex Scientologist Message Board) has had issues recently concerning a PI scoping out not only her house, but seen going through her mail as well. (http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthread.php?t=5398)

His response was basically "Fuck this noise, see you on the 14th." Good man! Most likely they would have tried to badger him into making some stupid statement on behalf of Anonymous which they could then blow up into a PR frenzy. It's too bad; lots of fireworks could have come out of a careful and well-considered meeting with the Beast.

Also, and this is REALLY interesting, an underage Anon from the Netherlands was kidnapped by the Org after somewhat foolishly going inside to ask for a DVD. She tells the full story here.


God damn they're getting desperate. Mwee hee hee.

Scientology Cries At Night, Sometimes

So a quick Scientology protest post before I get back to coloring the comic:

Teenager faces prosecution for calling Scientology 'cult'

A teenager is facing prosecution for using the word "cult" to describe the Church of Scientology.

The unnamed youth was served the summons by City of London police when he took part in a peaceful demonstration opposite the headquarters of the controversial religion in London.

Officers confiscated a placard with the word "cult" on it from the youth, who is under 18, and a case file has been sent to the Crown Prosecution Service.

A date has not yet been set for him to appear in court.

The decision to issue the summons has angered human rights activists and support groups for the victims of cults.

The incident happened during a protest against the Church of Scientology on May 10.

Demonstrators from the anti-Scientology group, Anonymous, who were outside the church's £23m headquarters near St Paul's cathedral were banned from describing Scientology as a cult by police because it was "abusive and insulting".

Writing on an anti-Scientology website, the teenager facing court said: "I brought a sign to the May 10th protest that said: 'Scientology is not a religion, it is a dangerous cult'."

"'Within five minutes of arriving I was told by a member of the police that I was not allowed to use that word, and that the final decision would be made by the inspector."

A policewoman later read him section five of the Public Order Act and "strongly advised" him to remove the sign. Section five of the Public Order Act prohibits signs which have representations or words which are threatening, abusive or insulting.

The teenager refused to back down quoting a 1984 high court ruling from Mr Justice Latey, in which he described the Church of Scientology as a "cult" which was "corrupt, sinister and dangerous".

After the exchange, a policewoman handed him a court summons and removed his sign.

On the website he asks for advice on how to fight the charge: "What's the likelihood I'll need a lawyer? If I do have to get one, it'll have to come out of my pocket money."

Writing on the same website, another anonymous demonstrator said: "We also protested outside another Scientology building in Tottenham Court Road which is policed by a separate force, the Metropolitan police, who have never tried to stop us using the word cult.

"We're completely peaceful protesters expressing a perfectly valid opinion. This whole thing stinks."

The City of London Police, who issued the summons, came under fire two years ago when it emerged that more than 20 officers, ranging from constable to chief superintendent, had accepted gifts worth thousands of pounds from the Church of Scientology.

City of London police chief superintendent, Kevin Hurley, praised Scientology for "raising the spiritual wealth of society" during the opening
of its £23m headquarters near St Paul's Cathedral in 2006.

And last year a video praising Scientology emerged featuring Ken Stewart, another of the City of London's chief superintendents, although he is not a member of the group.

The group was foundeded by science-fiction writer L Ron Hubbard in 1952 and espouses the idea that humans are descended from an exiled race of aliens called Thetans.

The church continues to attract controversy over claims that it separates members from their families and indoctrinates followers.

A spokeswoman for the force said today: "City of London police had received complaints about demonstrators using the words 'cult' and 'Scientology kills' during protests against the Church of Scientology.

"Following advice from the crown prosecution service some demonstrators were warned verbally and in writing that their signs breached section five of the Public Order Act.

"One demonstrator continued to display a placard despite police warnings and was reported for an offence under section five. A file on the case will go to the CPS."

The decision by City of London Police to issue the summons provoked anger from civil liberties campaigners and groups helping former cult members.

Liberty director, Shami Chakrabarti, said: "This barmy prosecution makes a mockery of Britain's free speech traditions.

"After criminalising the use of the word 'cult', perhaps the next step is to ban the words 'war' and 'tax' from peaceful demonstrations?"

Ian Haworth, from the Cult Information Centre which provides advice for victims of cults and their families, said: "This is an extraordinary situation. If it wasn't so serious it would be farcical. The police's job is to protect and serve. Who is being served and who is being protected in this situation? I find it very worrying.

"Scientology is well known to my organisation, and has been of great concern to me for 22 years. I get many calls from families with loved ones involved and ex-members who are in need of one form of help."

-From this article.

I haven't really been doing a lot of posting about Scientology and the protests lately due to work and time managment issues, but that doesn't mean the movement has been dying down. Very much the contrary! We've got assaults against protesters, police investigations, fake bomb threats up the wazzoo, and cult victims leaving in droves to tattle on their former masters. It's wacky fun.

Basically they're starting to realize we mean actual business, and instead of ignoring us, the cult is now actively fighting back. We're going to see lots of crazy stories like the one I just posted above.

Those of you who are interested in showing up, remember it's June 14th, y'all. JUNE 14. The protest theme is going to be "Sea ARRRGH" and we are supposed to come dressed appropriately for the occasion.

And that, my friends, means we will be PIRATES.

Bah!

Woke up feeling sick, went right back to bed. Slept through the protests, goddamn it. :(

Damn you roomies. YOU did this to me, with your bacteria and your fever and your throwing up willy-nilly.

At least I got my revenge on a certain vomiting roomie who shall not be named (except that her nickname is Rah and she's Rah). After she blew chunks of spinach tuna sandwich puree out'n her nose double-barrel style last night, I performed a scientific experiment on her to see if snorting a bowl of saline solution (1 teaspoon Kosher salt to 2 cups warm water) would wash the residue out of her sinuses.

You would not believe her face when she tested my idea. It was like something out of a "Miracle of Life" video. Worked like a charm though.

Thanks to aforementioned feeling like crap, I'm going to be late again with the update. MEH!

Mother Vugger

When I was maybe nine, we went to a church friend's house for Easter. They lived in the mountains, right next to a little creek that came down through their yard from the woods. I got bored waiting for dinner and decided to explore the creek, and I started finding crystals.

I was wearing a really pretty Easter dress with pockets, so I filled them up as I climbed the hillside. There were all sorts of pieces, but the one I remember the most was the clear quartz crystal, about as long as my finger, with what looked like a cloud of blood suspended inside it. I pulled it out of the water with my own hands and it was like magic. A switch flipped in my head and I was hooked for life.

I don't know how far I walked, but suddenly there was a man on the hillside, yelling at me to go back, that I was on private property. So I turned around and went back to the Easter house, soaking wet and covered in mud. My mom was pissed, but I didn't care. I had zoned out in the hunt, and my pockets were bulging with rocks.

Some months later, my friend from across the street stole the blood crystal. I saw it in his sock drawer when I was over visiting one day, and didn't have the courage to steal it back or confront him. I never got it back.

The same friend's little sister also tried to steal a beautiful V-shaped twin crystal that was my second-favorite piece, but when I caught her and tried to take it back, she dropped it in the street and it broke. I kept the pieces on the roof with my toys and wished I could put it back together, but I didn't have access to superglue and never thought to ask my parents for help. I like to think the broken crystal is still up there, along with all the toys I abandoned when we moved, bleaching in the sun this past sixteen years.

And that's how I became a rockhound. The frustration, the hunt, the prize--I crave it every day. I dream about it at night. I lust after another man's collection. I covet my neighbor's rocky backyard. I whine and pine over the one that got away. I undress roadcuts with my eyes on every car trip. I'm a sick pervert and there's no fixing it. The only cure is the disease. I'm doomed.

Anyway, today I was checking DA and came across a specimen of blood quartz that reminded me of the small crystal I found all those years ago. On a whim, I checked out eBay to see if there were any smaller pieces for sale that looked like my long-lost specimen.

And what did I find? Oh, golly but it's glorious.

Check out this spectacular fakery.



I sent an email to The Vug about it, because dude.... air bubbles!? I'm no expert in minerals or nothin', but even I know not to buy supernaturally polished crystals full of swirly air bubbles. Maybe as a paperweight since it IS pretty (for a piece of polished glass). But Jeeesus. Air bubbles. I wonder if they'll add it to their spectacular fraud page.

And so, the hunt for blood quartz continues.

Freewinds Drydocked, Doomed and Dusted

Scientology's seafaring failboat of cancer, pollution and death is closed due to AIDS asbestos!

The Freewinds docked someplace in the Caribbean for repairs, and the drydock company found out about the blue asbestos dust that's been wafting to and fro inside the ship for the past couple decades.

The entire ship has been "sealed and isolated" as a biohazard while specialists try and find out how bad the problem is, and whether it can be salvaged. The shit has not even begun to hit the fan on this one, because that's where the cult shills go to do their OT8 levels (the highest level of Scientology). It's also where all the important Scientology functions are held, like the now-cancelled CCHR convention originally scheduled for next month.

All we need now is one closeted gay male superstar to be diagnosed with lung disease from his prolonged exposure and release the hounds.


HA HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA
POW!

Feeling A Bit Enturbulated

Check it out, we're being banraid by the CoS! Imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery, so I think we should all feel very, very flattered by this.

Also, here's one of their promo images from the cult's "oh shit everyone is finding out about us" damage control campaign:



A rather unfortunate idea for a poster, considering what's going on in the news right now and the high potential for some Anon to come ditty-boppin' along and turn it into this:

And Still More Scientological Failure

Belgium Scientology Org Raided, Shut Down By Authorities

And it took all day to upload them, but here are the videos I promised:













I'm still so completely exhausted from the protest. I slept like 12 hours and woke up feeling like it was time to go to bed and fall right to sleep. It was sunny and fairly warm out (45 degrees f) though, so I pushed myself and managed a kickass 9.3 bike ride with the dog. I stopped to snap a shit ton of photos of the collapsed mill, and will be doing Arts with them soon.

Glory of the cosmos unto thee, o Excedrin with caffeine.

PS - I totally failed to give a shout-out to the three readers so far who have found me at the rally. You are all completely adorable and very cool to hang with :) Let's do it again next month for Operation: FairGameStop.

Lost in the Amazon

I just went to Amazon to submit my review of Dianetics, and it wouldn't allow me to review the book. Gave me some weird error page that said I can't review because I haven't used the site to buy anything yet. O RLY? Then where did I get all these paperback books about forensic medicine?

They should change the site name to FAILMAZON DOT COM.

So, like, the monthly Scifag protest is tomorrow. We're going to have freezing rain all day long, but Seebs bought me the huginest rainbow umbrella ever, so I'm not worried.

Hope to see a few of you Minneapolitans there, yah?

Dianetics: A Review

Still more Scientology fun, this time with Amazon.com reviews. They've been deleting negative reviews for a while now, but I think things are getting a little bit out of hand now. Glosslip has the scoop.

How exactly do you review a self-help book without mentioning your personal opinions on the subject matter?

Let me see if I can do it...

"L. Ron Hubbard, you've done it again!"
(Four Stars out of Five)

This is an excellent book. It has durable binding, good firm covers, and many pages in-between. I was especially impressed by the sequential numbering and generous quanity of these pages. These days, there are a lot of anemic, skimpy books on the shelves of your local bookstore. Call me old-fashioned, but I need a book with girth! In this respect, Dianetics became a personal favorite the minute I pulled it from the bargain bin.

The typeface was crisp and pleasant to look at, with words arranged into rows for easy reading. I had to remove one star because many of them were not in English, which did detract from the experience somewhat.

All in all, Hubbard clearly took a great deal of time and care in putting this thing together. I cannot recommend Dianetics enough.

If you're like me and enjoy slowly paging through sheaves of paper bound into book format and printed with words, Dianetics might be just what you're looking for.

I DMC JOO

Wikileaks Tells Cult of Scientology To Get Bent

This is going to be interesting.

Meanwhile, I neglected to mention this one while it was happening. Sean Carasov, the anon whose cat Mudkips was allegedly poisoned after his personal information was revealed at a protest by sign-bearing CoS members, and who was then arrested and charged with making threats to a Scilon, is free.

Furthermore, he has video evidence that shows the person who reported him made was lying to the cops, and the police are interested in pursuing the issue.

Failchurch is fail.

Rest in Peace, Mudkips the Cat

This is awful and fascinating to read:

Scientology has begun a really creepy harassment campaign against several members of Anonymous. One dude's cat got poisoned, which is pretty much SOP for the CoS when Fair Game is on.

Speaking just for myself here: I could be intimidated into backing off by the news that real people just like me are being attacked and harassed for doing the exact same thing I'm doing, but fuck that. I choose to see it as proof that we're going to win this. You don't kill a guy's pet cat when your team is ahead.

What we're doing here, guys... it's working. We've got them Fair Gaming in public, where everyone can see it. We've got them wasting their resources and energy trying to run damage control instead of bleeding their flock dry like they've always done. Critics are coming out of the woodwork now that there's suddenly this huge army of pissed-off kids in masks ready to help shoulder the burden.

Members are leaving in droves and leaking everything they know about the inside of the cult to the movement. Critics are still getting fucked over, as my first link illustrates, but they can't get us all, and every dirty trick pulled on one of our members just makes the rest of us that much more determined to take the motherfuckers down.

April 12. Mark your calendars, fellow Anons and Namefags. It is going to be so much more epic than you can imagine.

On a related topic, somebody finally leaked a copy of the banned film "The Profit" onto the intertubes and it is spreading like wildfire on BitTorrent. From what I've seen of the previews, it doesn't appear to be all that good, but the Cult of Scientology spent millions of bucks squashing its release through the courts, and can you imagine how it'll burn their ballsacks to see a bunch of script kiddies and hackers on steroids sharing it around on the web for free like candy on Valentine's Day?

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

Scientology: Fair Game is Alive and Well

Spotted at the LA protest. Jesus, SciCo, learn a new trick already!
