the point has been made (and well). perhaps it's time to distribute any incriminating documents that anonymous is in possession of to prevent a scientologist victory

What does their press release look like? It seems like every single media outlet that reads it is totally misunderstanding their goals and motivations.

frankly this should be their press release, if we could somehow get it to the right people:

Gaspar Lewis posted:

There are three orders of Scientologists.

The third order is the believer. They are the followers, the quiet believers, the ones on whom the Church relies on for its income. While they are indeed foolish or susceptible to trickery, they are not to be hated. They are to be pitied, and to be saved. Our mission is to free them from the shackles of their blindness. They are but the lambs gone astray; in the promises of Scientology, they have sought a new and improved life. They are being lured over the dark precipice, and we must rescue them from that brink before they cross it and fall into darkness forever.

The second order is the zealot. They are the spokespeople, the loud, abrasive megaphones through which the siren song of this cult blares. This is both the celebrity figureheads of the group, and its middle-lower management. They are to be fought, but with measured restraint. While active agents of this monstrous mockery of faith, they too are believers at heart. They must be defeated, but shown the light as well. For most in this category, there is hope, and we must not forsake them; there is still a chance they may see truth through unclouded eyes once more.

The first order is the overseer. They are the masterminds, the silent power structure through which their second order acts. These are the madmen on ocean yacht, the proud financiers of mercenary legal teams, and the shrewd conspirators whose pockets are lined with the spoils of the Church’s lies. While the zealots shall be the ones we face upon the battlefield, they are but pawns of this highest division of vile swine. We must defeat their front ranks of brainwashed pawns, but when at least reach these foes; we must cut them down without mercy.

It is to the first order I address the second part of this short treatise.

---

You are scum. You are the lowest of the low. Whether or not you believe an inkling of the impossible nonsense you trot out to masquerade as a religion, you are still guilty of the willing and knowing destruction of countless lives. You are charlatans of the highest order, and must be stopped in the name of reason, justice, honesty, and every other basic human virtue. You have committed innumerable treacheries against your fellow man; in the following text, I shall list the themes of your deplorable actions. Some shall seem similar, and many shall overlap, but each is an independent crime I directly and openly levy against you.

One. You charge exorbitant sums of money for what you claim is enlightenment. All texts and practices associated with gaining a greater understanding of your belief system require ludicrous sums of cash. Your entire Church’s structure is designed to ensnare those who invest in attempting to progress in the faith you promise them, and continue to drain them of money. Your greed is clearly evidenced in the carrot-and-stick methodology of cementing the faith of your constituency. The further ones gets, the more one has been coerced into spending, and will go on spending so as not to lose face. What you claim is a hierarchy of faith is but a thinly veiled pyramid scheme to those who are not clouded in judgment by your lies.

Two. You attempt to dominate the lives of your followers at all costs. You denounce accepted medicine, psychology, and common sense as basic tenets of your Church. While you claim openness to other faiths, your dogma not only is starkly in contrast to that of other common faiths, but directly denounces them as fabrications meant only to distract and deter people from your twisted version of “the truth”. Mainstream religions act as a support system for its followers, not a guiding life force. While guidelines for living life are set forth and you may be judged for your actions, people are free to live life as they pleased. They are not egged on to rise in meaning “levels” of faith for a false sense of satisfaction for going so deep into your sick maze.

Three. You prey incessantly on your every opponent and have openly declared your desire for their total destruction. A true faith would attempt simply to attract followers; what you have chosen is an onslaught on so-called “heretics” reserved for, in mainstream religions, militant radicals and past atrocities. The ferocity of your hatred for non-believers, or even your conscientious and peaceful dissenters, finds parallel only in gun-toting fundamentalists and the Spanish Inquisition. Where commonly accepted religions just shun their detractors, you openly attempt to silence them. The upkeep of your illusions requires the constant limiting of free speech, which is counter to the aims of a rational and progressive world. There are both livelihood and lives undone by your work, and you must be punished for your errant destruction.

Four. You refuse to disclose the direct beliefs of your Church. Be it motivated by either greed or shame, you intentionally repress what you claim are the keys to happiness. There are numerous divisions and departments in your organization devoted to handling funds, acting more like the part of a corporation than a part of a religious institution. This fact alone is enough illustrates your inherent depravity. Any person who is truly aiming for the advancement of mankind would never dare demand a fee, as you do. Even those who you connive into throwing their money and their lives away in your name are not privy to much of your core information.

Five. You preach and exert a level of hubris that is repulsive to any person who truly knows your ways. You promise your faithful the power to become like gods, and to gain unachievable degrees of control over their lives. On the backs of your deceived masses, you craft your iron-clad walls and slowly lose sight of the sun of reality; you begin to acclimate to the darkness of your own mania. You flaunt the laws of countries across the globe, strong-arming your way through court systems with your ill-gotten gains, trying to infiltrate the world of the rational day by day. And your head figure, the corpse of a science fiction huckster, which you have made to dance like some macabre puppet, has become the ultimate idol for the ultimate coven of idolaters.

Six. You tried to hide your guilt on all these pre-existing counts behind a mantle of faith. Your spineless self-defense knows no bounds of decency or morality; you seek every refuge you can, like a bubonic rat desperate not to drown in the brig of a transatlantic ship. The use of faith as a catch-all, combined with your calculated skulking in the world’s system of laws, has led you to assume your total protection from the judgment of the common man. As such, you have grown more diabolical with every passing minute, ever devolving into a more base caricature of the world as it is. But you are wrong, and the voice of the public can still make even your fortifications crumble.

This is it. These are the final days of your sham. The people you have enslaved shall be freed, your attack dogs shall be silenced, and your entire establishment shall be unraveled. You cannot prevent this; you cannot deter this. Money or luxuries will not sway us. We are not motivated by a personal or secondary goal. Our aim is your destruction, in the name of the good of all people on this earth. Our assault has only begun, and shall not cease until your Church is no more. Our efforts will ebb and flow, but our persistence will be as reliable as the tides.

Your time is up.

Welcome to your end.

it was posted several times earlier but it's like ten pages back and the site it's on is a nightmare to get through

IRL STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE:

1. MULTIPLE CAMERAS: It would be exceedingly foolish to proceed with the raid without at least one camera with the main group of people, and one down the block or something so that if the poo poo really hits the fan (or the main camera is broken or otherwise compromised) at least that person can get the video to the authorities and YouTube (in that order, mind) ASAP

2. NONVIOLENCE: Do not, under any circumstances, (other than you being cornered or otherwise unable to escape from the situation) strike or even touch a scientologist counter-protester, etc. Even if you do not have a camera to capture the incriminating evidence (what the gently caress are you doing without a camera in the first place) you fucktard, they sure as gently caress do. If one of the protesters in your group is attacked, drag him out and close ranks. If they manage to take your fliers, etc, LET THEM HAVE IT. ANY VIOLENCE CAUSE BY US WILL SURELY BRING ABOUT NEGATIVE MEDIA REACTION OR AT LEAST GIVE THE SCIENTOLOGISTS AMMUNITION

2b. Bring a goddamned first aid kit.

3. ANONYMITY: Wear a mask at all times, and if prohibited, a scarf, hat and sunglasses will do just as well. Bulk up clothing enough to obscure your profile, but not enough to hinder your movement when needed most. These people are insane as gently caress and cannot be expected to act as normal human being do, and could very possibly tail you in your car/vehicle for miles

3b. TRANSPORTATION/ESCAPE: Have a vehicle or vehicles capable of holding all of the protesters idling (maybe not, but have someone near as hell to it) and ready to go at all times with a person inside. It may be a boring job, but it could save everyone from harm in case of the poo poo hitting the goddamn fan

3c. WHEN RETURNING FROM RAID: DO NOT PROCEED TO YOUR RESPECTIVE HOUSES. Tailing is highly likely and you don't need these crazy fucks finding where you live. Go to a theater and celebrate your success and see Cloverfield. In fact, see it two or three times, movie's short as gently caress. If they're still tailing you, call the loving police, in fact, if they start tailing you at all call the loving police.

4. POLICE: FOR ONCE, THEY ARE OUR BEST FRIENDS. Before you raid, inform them of where you will be protesting and when. They might even send a few officers out to hang with you and that will keep the scientologists in check. It also will improve our image as peaceful folk.

5. DOCUMENTATION: Carry a fuckton of it, chances are they'll forcibly take some in their insane anger and tear it to shreds. Again, let them, and while they're at it grab a few more of the thousands of sheets you already have.

5b. MUSIC/MEDIA: Bring a self-powered boombox if at all possible and either play some raid audio or some of their own poo poo at full volume. Keep a ton of spare batteries (in the car you fucktard, it's cold as goddamn hell) and if they take it and stomp it to death, turn on the cars stereo for a bit.

6. COMMUNICATION: Invest in some cheap 2-way radios or walkietalkies for either everyone or a few that lead to those farther away. It isn't strictly needed, but it could do no harm.


THERE WILL EVENTUALLY BE A FUCKTARD WHO FIGHTS BACK, WE NEED TO WORK ON A RELEASE STATING THAT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND HE IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MOVEMENT AS A WHOLE

ALSO, AS GOOD AS THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS ARE AT REACHING THE INTERNET, WE CANNOT REACH THE WORLD IN GENERAL IF WE DO NOT WRITE TO OUR MEDIA OUTLETS. THEY'RE IFFY AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TAKE A SIDE, AND WE NEED TO CONVINCE THEM TO IF THIS IS TO GET ANY WHERE. DISTRIBUTING PAMPHLETS AND FLIERS IS FRANKLY SECONDARY

IF YOU WANT TO WRITE IN, HERE IS A FANTASTIC WRITEUP OF HOW TO:

1. WRITE UP A RELEASE UNIQUE TO YOU LOCATION, DO NOT USE A MASS PRODUCED PR THAT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER ONE. THIS PERSONALIZATION WILL HELP SHOW THAT WE ARE INDEED FAR REACHING AND WANT TO CONVEY THAT FACT. THE FACT THAT WE ARE NON-VIOLENT AND OUR ONLY GOAL IS TO DISMANTLE OR AT LEAST OUST SCIENTOLOGY FOR WHAT IT IS IS PARAMOUNT AND SHOULD BE STATED IN LAYMANS TERMS

2. INCLUDE DOX! THE STORY IS JUST THAT, A STORY. THERE NEEDS TO BE PROOF, SO GET SOME DOX AND PICK OUT A FEW GOOD PASSAGES, AND MAKE SURE TO INFORM THEM THAT THIS IS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBURG AND THAT WE HAVE MUCH MORE

3. INCLUDE INFORMATION ON THE MURDERS, IF ANYTHING GETS REACTION, IT'LL BE THAT

4. HUGELY GENERALIZED RETURN ADDRESS, DO NOT USE YOUR OWN, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND DO NOT LEAVE THE FIELD BLANK

5. IF YOU'RE REALLY AFRAID OF POSSIBLE REPURCUSSIONS (and it's not entirely unfounded if you include dox) WEAR SOME GODDAMN GLOVES WHENEVER YOU TOUCH THE PAPER, ENVELOPE, ETC

WE NEED YOUR HELP, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU CAN DO

I see that no one has made a Facebook group. We need to make things like this, because this could help us in multiple ways. It'll get more people in the know concerning scientology, everyone and their mother has Facebook, and Facebook is kind of a media darling at this point in time, considering the recent Colbert primary bid, and how everyone started to talk about the Facebook group that got so many people. And we know how much those Facebook kids love to rally around a cause.

We'd need some links to websites like xenu.net, the Youtube videos, and maybe some instructions to the raids/poster ideas. If we can get college/high school kids involved in this, our numbers would be much larger. We'd need to inform about the whole "non-violence" thing, though.

I know that making fliers is fun and potentially effective, but I really don't see it having the effect that writing in with dox etc to your local media outlets will have if they run the story. Please, if you're unsure of what you can do to help, follow those instructions and throw the media a bone

If you're unsure as to where to acquire said dox, they are fairly easy to come upon and Project Chanology may help you on your quest

If it is to raise awareness of the beliefs of Scientology? Then I don't really care because I don't differentiate between one persons beliefs and any others.

I stopped reading right here because frankly it shows that you aren't listening to us in the least.


What we care about is how the church forces people to pay huge sums of money for religious "courses". We care about how people have every account in their possession sucked dry, and then forced to work for menial pay to stay in the church. We care about the fact that people have killed themselves to escape the CoS, and we care about the fact that the CoS has murdered those who try to escape on occasion. If they want to believe about h-bombs and volcanoes and theatans, we don't give a poo poo, but they shouldn't have to pay through the loving nose to, and be forced to stop or killed when they decide enough is enough.

I should be spending time on creating more content but as it is at the moment I'm staring more at the enturbulation forums then my html editor.

Why? The forums are gaining more and more attention. Heres the current stats:


Which of course is fantastic, don't get me wrong there. But what is a problem however is the amount of postings to illegal acts, links & discussions taking place. We're catching them as quick as we can, but we're only a small team currently so I don't think we're catching them all.

We have put in place rules & guidelines, which for the most part are helping. And also the forums seems to have a self policing ideology blossoming, which also helps. I guess I'm just getting very concerned that this is quickly going to grow too large for us to control without more assistance.

So I guess what I'm asking is thats if theres anyone here that feels they could lend some time to assisting in the form of moderator, that would be greatly appreciated at this time. I'm sure this request is shared by the other current enturbulation team as well. I've been spending each day for the last 4 days totally dedicated to the site, as has the rest of the team, and currently so very tired and so very stressed. It would honestly break my heart if all this effort was for naught because of the actions of a few..

I'm quickly starting to appreciate more then ever the incredible efforts the mods, and especially Richard, has made with this site. My hat is off to you guys!
