Avast, Ye Scurvy Dogs! Join The Sea Arrrrgh on June 14!

Fucking A, man. I'm so there I'm barely here.

If you're interested in joining the Sea Arrrrgh, you can check the forums on enturbulation.org to locate protests in your area. Go for the lulz, stay for the neutering of Scientology.

Incidentally this is the best video Anonymous has released to date and whoever made it is a genius.

Scientology: The Ides of March Protest Report

Protest successful! Public was educated! SciCos intimidated! Rickrolls initiated! Mudkips appreciated!

I'd say twice as many people were present at the peak of the demonstration, around 150 or so. It was good stuff. Totally peaceful, except an angry unbalanced guy kicked the window of the org on his way past, then came back to do it again but we all yelled "no no no noooo!" and he changed his mind. There would be video of this, but I didn't press the record button hard enough on my camera.

Still kicking myself over that one.

I also got kidnapped by the magic bus! A city bus pulled over and the driver asked for a flyer. I got on, handed one to him, and then the driver closed the door and said "you're coming with US!" The whole bus laughed. "We're going for a ride!"

Then he pulled the door back open to let me out. I was laughing my ass off. Later on, one of the police officers flashed us the peace sign and smiled as he drove away. Minneapolis is just plain cool.

I discovered that I have the ability to talk to the public about what we're protesting. It was scary at first but my convention training kicked in and I got all eloquent and stuff. Lots of people took fliers and even stopped to talk. Most were in disbelief but I urged them not to take my word for it; this stuff is pretty outlandish but the proof is all a matter of public record. It was very tiring and I'm pretty sure I got hypothermic toward the end. The temperature plunged and the wind kicked up and suddenly it was winter hell again. Winter hell sandwiched between two days of spring joy--clearly God hates social consciousness and wants all of us lose fingers!

A teaser for tomorrow: Jesse's Longcat scarf was loooooooooooooong. No pics of it yet, but I'm sure some will surface on Enturbulation once it comes back from suckland. I was photographed about a zillion times.

I took a bunch of pictures this time. These are the best of them.

Here am videos:

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.
