Excellent video, as usual! If you're still interested in small edits, I've got the following for you:

At ~16:39, take out the comma in: "due in large part, to Scientology's Fair Game policy"

At ~16:44, either take out the comma in "You paved the way for the outspoken critics of today, and have not been forgotten." or make it ", and you have"

And at 17:03 you used the wrong "its".
"it's" = "it is"
"its" = possessive form of it

Keep up the great work!

It's really silly. When I see the corrections, I know they are right. But for some reason I can't see it when I'm reading it myself. I should have known that once I resorted to text at the end, I would screw up

But thanks, because yes, I AM interested in making those corrections!

Yeah, that's the hardest thing for me - not being able to get everyone in. Trust me, it's not due to lack of trying.

The number of threads and pictures I review after a protest is both inspiring and incredibly tedious/time consuming

If a location was left out, it was probably because there were no good pictures (by good, I mean high resolution and relatively decent composition).

That said, I also stopped scouring Enturb for pictures after a week or so past the protest, so if good pictures went up after that point, I probably missed them.

Your videos are always awesome Pelvidar. I think they're one of the best contributions that Anonymous gets.

I enjoyed the human touch on this one, with the Anon addressing the viewer directly. It's a nice change of pace from your previous videos, and I think it's very appropriate in a video based on Fair Game to have a human voice and "face."

So, (as usual) a few corrections and comments:

00:26 - Lisa McPherson's name is without an "a" in the surname (i.e. Not "Macpherson").

00:52 - You may want to say "the largest infiltration of the Federal government in history" as this not only clarifies which government in the U.S. we're talking about, but also emphasizes that it's the biggest single operation of infiltration ever.

Otherwise, everything else I caught has already been addressed by someone else. Really though, an amazing video as always. I'm glad that you decided to do at least one more.

Yeah, I used to drive to Louisville practically once a week, but I've yet to make it out to a protest. It's double the distance for me that it is for you. I do still come up occasionally, I just manage to always be too busy to justify the trek, especially when I'm always afraid nobody else is going to show up there.

I do still come into town occasionally, though, and when I do I'm almost always on Bardstown Road and see the center there. I may have to keep my mask in the car and just slip by for some flash enturbulation some day.

Do you know if they do stress tests there with the carts like I've seen in other places? The KY org is situated on a wondefully busy street, but isn't very big.

I'm way late with this, but Houston Texas had a flash raid on the 24th for Dianetics Day. We had L. Ron playing on a small stereo in front of their building and it was awesome. About 15 anons showed up at peak and it was awesome. Several scienos showed up and some even came and talked to us. There were also at least 2 people that parked right by us to ask us about what was going on. Anon stayed until about 9pm or so and a great time was had by all.

One of the scienos that came over was wearing a Freewinds shirt. He came over to tell us that he thought we were hilarious and some anon belted right back with the blue asbestos and shut him down. It was great.

ROAD TO MAY 10, 2008 - Operation Fair Game: STOP RELEASED

Actually, it's not really a "Road To" video, but since it was never supposed to happen in the first place, I guess it doesn't matter what you call it.

With Road to April 12, 2008 I had really meant to leave the lengthy Anonymous videos behind. A lot of what needs to be said, is being said very effectively in smaller videos that already dominate most of YouTube.

I had wanted to capture the spirit of what Anonymous was doing and why, and I think I managed to do it somewhat effectively with the first three Road To videos - so why make another?

I guess the issue of Fair Game and its real impact on people who have spoken out against Scientology has been a real frustration for me. Particularly when I see what they are doing to Gregg. There is no real "new" information in this video - like past Road To videos, it is just another presentation of the same material we are so intimately aware of already. Still, I hope you find it enjoyable to watch.

So Gregg, I dedicate this one to you. Knowing your plight, and seeing the consistently inspiring actions of Anonymous, I felt I had one more in me.

Stay strong Gregg, stay strong Anons and all you who speak out unmasked. The style of this video is a bit different than my previous ones, but whether you care for the video itself or not, I raise my glass to you, and am pleased to be in your company.

Oh yeah, I meant to say something about this. Pelvidar: These videos are always awesome, and this one is even better than the others.

Have you considered stringing these together into one long video, editing it down a bit so it's not a half hour of pictures (awesome though they may be, the general public probably won't want to sit through it multiple times) and submitting it as a piece to film festivals? Not everybody would take them in, but some almost definitely would.

Black Mariah, Slamdance, Boston, maybe even SXSW (granted in some it would be in the peanut gallery section). Cannes even used to have a whole section for political shorts. Festivals in Europe would probably eat it up. These are the kinds of places where you could submit as an anonymous person and still get in. And even if they don't get shown, someone will watch the videos and definitely talk about them.

And what better way to target celebrities then.... well, showing them movies at the festivals they love? Some of which probably don't even know about these things. Just sayin', you've definitely got the skill and the content. I think you should go for it.

It does cost money to submit, but if somebody's willing to donate the cash, I can hook you up with people to get some discounts on doing so, and help you figure out when and where to submit.

Ah, Private Eye finally say something specifically about Anon! They've mentioned LRH and body thetans a few times since January, but this is the first time I've seen them address any aspect of the protests or of the CoS's friendship with the City of London police. (They're extraordinarily good at exposing that sort of thing.)

I really hope they do more on the CoS. The editor's already the most-sued man in Britain, so another three or four suits won't hurt...

This is an awesome point and something I think we should try and push for. Maybe its a bit of a long shot, but poo poo, if we could enter it into the Cannes film festival or something then we've pretty much secured a place in history right there. It'll legitimize us even further, and we'll be reaching out to people with huge amounts of influence in the entertainment industry. Epic Win wouldnt even begin to describe it.

Geographically, Belfast is certainly on Ireland. I would not say that Belfast is in Ireland, because "in" is used when referring to the Republic of Ireland as a country and "on" when referring to the island of Ireland. I think.

Of course Ireland is also part of Britain, but it is better to say it's part of the British Isles.

Not entirely correct. This is how it is:

Great Britain = England + Scotland + Wales.
United Kingdom = England + Scotland + Wales + Northern Ireland
British Isles = Great Britain + Ireland + lots of smaller islands

Britain can refer to either the British Isles, Great Britain, or the UK. Confused yet?

I suppose so, but "British Isles" is a purely geographic term, and doesn't exist as a political entity. So saying "Belfast, British Isles" is like saying "Toronto, North America" - it's correct, but it doesn't match with the other locations that are all listed as "City, Country".
