Here's another unfortunate event that the media are probably going to work into the story:

I plan to distribute info on Scientology to some of the local churches (and I'll be trying to contact the Missouri Lutheran Synod as well) It has been my experience that they are VERY good at stirring poo poo up, especially if said poo poo has to do with dangerous cults that may try to recruit their followers.

The problem is, there's just so damned MUCH damning data. Aside from the cross thing, what should I send them? (I've got the documents that have been posted)

I've been following this thread since it was 3 pages long. 49 pages later and it has digressed to making cut-and-paste anti-scientologist propaganda. Has anyone actually put any of these "posters" up in a place where they would be effective? I think if you're going to make these posters/fliers/stencils/whatever you should at least take a picture where *someone* has put one up in public where people will notice it, rather than on some obscure forum that the general public has no idea about. That is if you really mean what you say. If you just really enjoy typing words and pasting pictures into MSPaint then by all means, keep doing so.

Edmonton Sun's article is pretty good. Hopefully it hasn't been posted before.

Edmonton Sun posted:

Yvette Shank, a spokesman for the Church of Scientology, told Sun Media that the church doesn’t “give a drat” if the group is responsible for the Internet disruption.

“We have our books. We have our people. And we can speak,” Shank said from Toronto.

Has anyone thought to print out smaller versions of the flyers and put them inside the pages of Scientology-related books at bookstores like Barnes and Noble and Books a Million? That way people at the store who are browsing Dionetics find a little surprise inside.

I'm curious - how legal would it be to try and find out the names of all of Scientology's lawyers and other non-Scientologist staff, to put up fliers around their town with (NAME): (Profession) for Scientology. (stuff to google or claims against Scientology here)? I'm sure not all their lawyers actually believe the poo poo they sell, they're just hired hands.

If they're going to sell their soul to the devil for an easy paycheck they shouldn't be able to keep it a secret in their communities and on the internet. Actually, just getting all their lawyers names up online would be decent enough just to have a list of who the evil, greedy fuckers are.

Jonestown. Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in North America. As CaptMrWill said, mass suicide stops the cashflow. Their isolation techniques, et cetera are right there with Mr. Jones' People's Temple and other such cults, though.

Could the US government bring RICO charges against them?

'Jesus=Pedo' is the hook that gets the Christians to pay attention in the first place.

skander posted:

Sure, but many Christians have not been. The folks I've been talking to really didn't have much opinion outside of 'Yeah, we've heard they were bad'. But OTVIII really got them fired up, and now they are interested in spreading the word and taking action. Pointing out the use of a cross has been quite successful, even without the Jesus/pedo part.

As I've said, you need a good hook or it goes right past.

I was wondering to what extent the ideas and information on this forum/thread is shared with Anon? I'm guessing a lot of you guys are on the IRC channels or something like that, but is Anonymous considering this kind of advice?

Has any one started up some my space or face book bulletins/groups yet? I want to be able to help but I am in a small area where no one knows or even cares about. Of course this is West Texas so the scifags may just be to scared to get shot or something along those lines.

That is an amazing idea. Not only will it bring the attention of the media, but also number of protesters will skyrocket- anon would not miss the chance to see a naked woman whose name doesn't end with .jpg.

Influence Device posted:

Digg just hellbanned/censored every scientology related article from the digg frontpage, no matter how many diggs it gets. Now, no article related to this raid will make the frontpage on digg. This is bad for the momentum of protests.

I'm not entirely convinced myself.

how infiltrated is the ACLU?

I stopped following the thread around page 60-something, but I saw a whole fuckload of flyers around work today, in a lot of high-traffic areas.

Great job and great coverage guys.

Since the whole protest/march 10th of February thing is based around the theme of Guy Fawkes/V For Vendetta, I tried to come up with a little rhyme.



Remember, remember, the 10th of February
The Scientology march and protest
I see no reason
Why Scientology’s treason
Should forever remain unaddressed



What do you guys think?

ShadowCatboy posted:

That's a grossly oversimplified and naive perspective of the ACLU.

The ACLU strictly adheres to Constitutional law, and from that they protect the individual so that his rights aren't steamrolled over by the government. They don't give a poo poo who you are or what religion you follow, just so long as it follows the formula of "X can practice Y religion openly and independently without interference from the government," and "A government institution cannot show preferential support of Y religion or coerce others to do so."

This is why they protect Fred Phelps' individual rights of religion and free speech while at the same time take down religious monuments in public spaces. It's not self-contradictory in the slightest.

Sorry, I'm just pissed because I recently talked to a girl who said this:

"Pffft Scientology is just as much of a terrorist group as the UCLA..."

"ACLU. What, why?"

"Oh right ACLU. They sue you if you call someone 'black' instead of 'African American' and stuff."

"What the gently caress are you talking about?"

"You just don't get the analogy. So yeah who cares about Scientology."

Would you, as a Christian, feel comfortable going to traffic court with a judge who has a display dedicated to his faith in the resurrecting power of Satan? How about going to the DMV and filling out your license renewal form next to a stack of scientology pamphlets because the director of public safety happens to be an OTVII?

If you're cool with all that and more, then yes, I can see why you'd be okay with the 10 commandments. Personally that sort of thing would make me nervous.

I wonder how many channers they're going to catch? I'm sure the smart ones will get away with it, but there have to have been plenty who only half read the instructions for their scripts and left a very visible trail to follow.

For I am inexperienced in this field; someone needs to capture this show... or at least the scientology part.

I am willing to do the gruntwork on saving/editing if only I can be directed to a program I can use to capture streaming audio feed. (yes I realize this may sound retarded)

@ MisterEuroPride: Well, they've got nothing to hide, right?

Curiouser posted:

Maybe that rewording'd clear it up for you.

Anyway, the ACLU will almost certainly assist with advice how to conduct a legal protest, and is absolutely the first number you should call if you or another protestor is arrested for conduct within the law or within your constitutional rights.

Hell the ACLU might even take the side of the Freezoners. Copyright law should not stand between a man and his faith, and withholding articles of a man's faith from him by way of copyright law may actually be unconstitutional.
