Scientology Protest This Sunday

protestnv8.jpg

Well, this should be exciting, hateful. This Sunday at 11 a.m. at 701 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, there will be a protest over that religious sect those zany Hollywood types know and love so well. You know, the one where you can't take Prozac, or call you Jewish children, or....whatever. (For a map of the SF branch, go here.) It sounds like it will be a Sunday afternoon well-spent. Instruction are as follows:

- Wear EFG Mask if possible: Purchase them on Amazon -- And yes, they're legal in SF as long as you remove them at the request of the officer

- Bring a lightweight sign that is comfortable to hold... If you can, cover it in a clear plastic bag, or make it out of a waterproof material- there might be rain

- Accessories TO bring: Backpack, water, snacks, cellphone, video/still camera, change for public transit

- Accessories NOT to bring: Any form of ID, excessive cash, a car (public transit is cheaper and maintains anonymity)

- Make sure your propaganda focuses on the extortion and scamming of the church- DO NOT attack the general religious beliefs (aside from the truly twisted ones- like anti-gay and such)...

- Bring plenty of fliers- print here- there should be a good number of bystanders in the city- so make sure you have plenty of paper to hand out

- REMAIN PEACEFUL AND RESPECTFUL AT ALL TIMES! This one is important... You will likely be harassed by CoS fags... NO MATTER WHAT do not buy into their antagonism- if you do, they immediately have an excuse to legitimately attack you... This also applies to members of the general public, and Police Officers. If a Police Officer tells you to do something, you MUST remain respectful in your response- THE FATE OF OUR EFFORTS RELIES ON RESPECT TO EVERYBODY

COS is anti-gay and claims it can "cure" homosexuals
. Push this in your propaganda!

And our personal favorite point:

Don't use the words "fag" or "nigga" during the protest, either verbally or in propaganda. You shouldn't be doing this regardless of the law, since it's bad PR.

Since, yes, it is bad public relations. That's why we don't use it.

Anyway, can't wait! If anyone snaps some choice shots of Beck, people being rounded up and thrown into ghettos, Juliette Lewis, or group "showers," be sure to send them our way. Thanks.

They're killing people now?

...and turning them into pies, yes.

"You will likely be harassed by CoS fags..."
followed by
"Don't use the words "fag""

maybe the CoS will be smoking?

Mmmmm... John Travolta pie.

Oh golly gee how exciting and anarchistic. Let's all prove just how fab and anti-establishment we are.

They blame COS for homophobia (which it is), yet take to calling their folks fags. How old are these "protesters"???.

"They're killing people now?"

Please look up www.whyaretheydead.net to see the list of people who died as a result of the actions of the Church of Scientology.

As one of the Anonymous (not by any means a representative) I'd like to clear up on the "fag" deal. In Anonymous lingo "fag" is devoid of any derogatory or homosexual connotations, it's basically just a coloquial word for "person", like "dude" or "guy".

For example, people from Australia will be ausfags, London citizen Londonfags, Christians will be christfags, Scientologists scifags, gay people gayfags etc.

The word "nigger" has a similar positions - it's not meant to insult black people, call it an inside joke.

We discourage the use of this word because the public at large is not accustomed to our a use of these words, and just as you, may take it as a genuine insult - hence the "bad PR" justification.

"How old are these "protesters"???."

Anonymous is comprised of people from many different backgrounds, cultures, ages, professions, religions. It's not an organisation, it's a mass of people driven by a single cause. In this case, exposing the often harmful or illegal practices the Church of Scientology has managed to got away with for half a century.

I encourage you to visit the www.enturbulation.org site, where the pickets are being currently planned, you can get all the info on Anonymous there.

My best regards,

"The word 'nigger' has a similar positions - it's not meant to insult black people, call it an inside joke."

those silly black people. they really should know better.

What? No "gook" or "chink"??? I'm insulted!

*fap fap fap*

what, no:
We are anonymous.
We are legion.
We never forgive.
We never forget.

128 is lie. the true anonymous is within your heart.

Will this be a good event to bring children to? I need to find an activity for them this weekend.

COS also believe you can "cure" schizophrenia without medications, which has resulted in many tragedies.

I thought your demonstration on Tuesday in New Orleans had a great turn out. A lot of folks in masks, good job. And a lot of fags.

Did someone reschedule and relocate Pride Weekend and not tell me? I hate when this type of shit happens. And of course I blame Newsom yadda yadda...

May the saucers land, and remove Tom Cruise from our tiny planet.

DUDE IT'LL BE JUST LIKE THE END OF THAT MOVIE WHEN EVERYONE SHOWS UP AND THEY'RE ALL WEARING THAT MASK IT'LL BE AWESOME FUCK YEAH

One of the most famous x scientologists ever is going to make a surprise appearance...

You may recognize them or have heard of what they have done...

Also Factnet.org is blof posting the SF protest news...
