Anon vs. Scientology

[Not Kuno]

Anon is already taking it's toll on Co$. Time for some copypasta.

Hi. I thought I'd try and collate evidence that we're winning this struggle. That is, examples of Anonymous action having directly led to problems for the church or people getting out.

Please feel free to add to my links and quotes. Winning is win!

All of this stuff has happened since our glorious worldwide protest.

Scientologists evicted in Santa Cruz

...Then the building manager came out and called the cops saying we were disturbing the renters. The cop came out and saw that were were just sitting there peacefully, he sided with us and left. Later on a local paper came out and interviewed all of us. Over the course of the day various people who rented out offices came up to us and explained that they didn't know much about $cientology and after looking it up after we explained they intended on complaining to the building owners....huh, after a further look, we did succeed in getting $cientology kicked out of that building. Our "leader" apparently told the building owners $cientology was a cult and the owners did not want to rent out to a cult.

Head Honcho of Alberta, Canada mission quits

I've just heard head on the SA forums this:

I have multiple unverified reports that the Alberta CoS has been shut down

and this:
[quote:zf9b2k6b]Current intel indicates that the head honcho there got fed up and jumped ship. More info when we can get it verified.

Can anyone in Alberta verify this? If this is true, then can we consider this the first victory of the battle?

Tory reports from an insider: We're driving the COS crazy

Our protests lead to a radio show where an Irish scilon leaks new info

Eventually Adrian Kennedy , the shows presenter asked "Why don't the Co$ just pack up and leave this island altogether"?.
My favourite bit was when asked who the leader of Co$ Ireland is , he stuttered a bit , then went quiet then mumbled something incoherent , at which point Adrian Kennedy was convinced that it was a shambles .

Reports are coming in of Scientologists leaving the Church due to protests

I have heard of two people who are leaving Co$ after having their eyes opened by Anonymous' actions, and one maybe.
No names or stories though, I'm sure you understand why.

Narconon no longer allowed at at poster's school

I then talked to the principle, he explained that they had been using them off an on for nearly 15 years, and had them this year, because the police are under-funding. We had a little discussion, and the result was that he decided not to let Narconon back in the school.

Dropping into the local COS to deliver Valentines cards freaks out Scilons

Managed to go into 5 offices and handed cards to several surprised looking Scios with a big smile on my face, saying "Happy valentines day!" before walking out of the office area. The lecture man met me and started leading me to the door saying "Come on man, you can leave come on..." I tried to give one to a pregnant gal who was chiming "You're trespassing! You're trespassing!" over and over but she didn't take it. The people at the front counter were looking at the cards Anony had given them. with big frowny faces. Anony and I walked out the door and Huzzah covered our backs as we left. No tails sited.

I know maybe this might not be the best means of advertising, but what do people think of gathering people and letting people know about the protests through other means of advertising. Possibly myspace or some other community type website. Not sure how it would be started up, but I think it could cause a huge turnout for these things. As long as the type of people we were getting were aware of our intentions and our conduct during the protests.

WISE BEARD MAN LIVE (currently 7:30 MST)

[Shuvo]

Just 1 month since this all started and we already appear to be winning :D

News from the inside can be found here and here.

(skip to tl;dr at the bottom if you don't wanna read all the quotes)
Glossary:
DM = David Miscavige (leader of Co$)
Sec checking = security checking (interrogations)
Jenna Miscavige (DM's niece, recently spoke out against the church)
OSA = Office of Special Affairs (division of Co$ that does the dirty work)
COB= chairman of the board (david miscavige).
ARS = alt.religion.scientology newsgroup.
LRH = L. Ron Hubbard (founder of Co$)
SP = Suppressive Person (enemy of Co$, being declared one brings you the wrath of OSA).

I am getting reports from recent defectors, JUST left from Scientology that Flag income is down 50% from 2003
and the only statistics that are up are refund/repayment demands

new critical data that may have the power to reopen past legal cases is coming out.

I have been contacted by ..... 18 new now ex-scientologists in less than a week, and have heard that Tory and many others are being swamped with calls from ex members, sometimes getting together in GROUPS to place the call to Lermanet.com! Fr the last week, the telephone here has been ringing one call after another..

I've said that when scientology goes down it is going to go down as fast, and as unexpctedly, as the Berlin Wall fell..

I'm getting the feeling THIS IS IT.

regards
Arnie

1. DM is losing his grip on power and the people in the Church who matter see this. For the first time I've seen, people are questioning COB even at the risk of an SP Declare.

2. The point of view was that OSA could limit and handle OCMB, ARS, and the other internet sites. The Church cannot handle legal protests. The Anonymous street protests need to come in successive waves. If the critics want to make it matter, focus on DM's effectiveness as a leader. Ask these questions of Scientologists:

<snip>

*****
A note to Magoo from Radio Silence Broken: Tell Tory that OSA is no longer the OSA she knew and has not been for some time. Non-OT SO can now be exposed to Xenu online from the point of view that Third Dynamic exposure to corrupted and/or spurious (false) OT materials can be repaired or handled during OT eligibility or repair.

2. OSA does not understand the youth culture of Anonymous online. This is why Scientology teenagers -- and RSB means kids who grew up in Scientology only -- are online as OSA volunteers. They are translators for the adults in OSA. OSA has a major concern that OSA adults should never pretend to be teenagers online and IM Anonymous teenagers. This could look like sexual predator behavior such as "grooming" a victim by creating a friendship. One tip for Anons (legal age please) chatting online: If you run into someone online that seems OSA-ish, ping and test them using sexual questions. If they run away, you may have had an OSA goon. Radio Silence Broken told me that OSA fears getting caught in internet stings by Anonymous and so is extremely skittish about infiltration online.

3. OSA fears that Anonymous haxsors can discover anything on Scientology's computers and has hired outside internet security experts. The experts have allegedly said that Scientology was at least 5 years behind on its computer systems and security.

4. OSA needs bodies monitoring and archiving the internet and no longer cares what its volunteers or lower ranking squibs read because CoS is operating on an "Wartime Conditions" PL that was written by LRH to be used in case of a second FBI Raid or other mass action against the Church. (Swift Note: The exact PL has a title something like "Wartime Footing" and RSB does not remember the exact name. Do any of the Old Guard recall a "WW III" PL or a "Wartime Conditions" HCOPL? Or could it be that DM has once again "found" the right LRH PL?

5. "OT" no longer means what it did when she was in. Look at how Michael Pattinson was treated: OT VII's and OT VIII's are now treated with more contempt than ever by management. Who matters now are IAS with money, people doing the L's, and anyone who will join Staff or Sea Org. Scientology is in emergency as a group.

******
Notes culled from other sources:

1. There are new, lowered, emergency-qual standards for Sea Org membership.
2. A new wave of certs revocations is allegedly occuring at the auditor and OT levels for those people who have not complied with the COB order to read, study, and complete the Basics Course.

*****
J. Swift Notes:

1. I have spoken to The Oracle today. We are in agreement that The Controllers will remove DM from power in some manner that they alone will determine. The Shadowmen will take back control. The Oracle and I expect a peaceful Palace Coup. Question: Mr. Miscavige, have you done the LRH Bulgravia Rundown?

2. The Perfect Storm may be approaching for Tom Cruise. The actor will be called to testify at the criminal trial of Anthony Pellicano. He is not charged, but will have to testify. Valkyrie financing has gone sideways in a big way. The "Go to Guns" video was major PR damage, perhaps the final straw that will break the camel's back.

3. The Old Guard's watchword is "secrecy." Anonymous must instill this as a virtue in itself: Secrecy. One of the worst crimes against your own honor is to betray the secret of another when entrusted to you as a secret. Betrayal is the worst crime because your word is your sacred oath. You must remain secretive and trustworthy to your colleagues even as you are a scourge to the Enemy: Scientology's leaders.

1. Brutal sec checking is going on.

1A. DM is using Anonymous to do some more house cleaning inside of Scientology. There is a renewed push to get all of the old LRH books out of circulation. The informal rule was that LRH signed books or editions sold as collectibles could be kept, but apparently DM wants it all purged.

1C. A Scieno NetNanny program will not come back. The PR would be too gruesome.

1D. Lawsuits are under discussion, but are a two way street: If CoS sues someone, or a group, CoS is subject to hostile cross-examination in open court. I remind everyone of Hubbard's Dictum on attack lawsuits:

2. Anonymous did go all the way to the top and get into DM's head. Anonymous needs to continue to press its attack and never get into a defensive mode. When you defend, you are playing Scientology's game. Do what Hubbard did: Attack and never defend. Tell reporters that you welcome an investigation into Scientology. I will write more on this later, but for now: Do not talk about Anonymous per se. Simply say that Anonymous welcomes an investigation into Scientology by the media and law enforcement.

3. The Cult had to call in the FBI and had to disclose information about its OSA Intel Ops on Scientology critics. This is where we as critics need to file FOIA requests on these FBI reports. This is not a fast process, but the door is now open. IMO, the FBI does not know the full extent of OSA's Intel Op. If you have any information you want me to send to the FBI on your behalf, simply send me a note: [email protected]

I do not need to know who you are. We can make arrangements that protect you.

4. My source said that everyone in CoS is writing KR's because they are afraid of their own shadows. There is a big culture of "Cover Your Ass" so that you don't lose your Bridge.

5. CoS is using the Anonymous Psych Threat and the "Cover Your Ass" atmosphere to sell Basics. Again, if you have not purchased the Basics, you are not a Scientologist. CoS wants that $4,000 or $5,000 from everyone who is in. If you are not in, you are out and that means Disconnection. OSA is using the Anonymous Psych Threat to its own advantage. Look for people who are PTS to be Declared in the next few weeks if they do not pay for and get into a handling or repair action. DM looks like he wants to spike earnings and stats based on the Anonymous Psych Threat: Fear sells.

6. I am told that the teenagers in CoS are bearing the brunt of OSA's anger. Parents are being told to take their kids off the net and keep them off the net. Chances are that any Scienokids on the net are OSA Invest volunteers phishing for information.

7. The Jenna Miscavige statement to the press was huge. That statement is what OSA fears most that Scientologists will read and have begun to discredit Jenna. Jenna's statement needs to be a hand out on March 15.

8. Expect a new wave of hate attacks from the Cult on Arnie, Tory, WBM, Andreas, etc.

9. The Anonymous attacks globally had a huge negative impact on Scientology and need to be continued.

11. Look for AfAm Scientologists to be brought in once again to play the race card. This is a usual CoS PR tactic.

12. A pleasant surprise will happen for the critics in the next few weeks. I can't say more right now.

It seems this is the appropriate place to be posting this information; over the course of the last month the Church has been investigating potential 'trouble spots' inside the organization. Various amounts of security or "sec checking" are occuring at even the highest levels. You will no doubt has noticed that there is at least one credible source of information inside of the Commodore's Messenger Organization. What you may NOT know is that there is also a leak inside of Office of Special Affairs [OSA]. For the last two weeks there has been, an identified leak inside of Special Affairs but the folks over at Special Affairs being the goons they are decided it was easier to deal with this problem internally rather than submit to David Miscavige and suffer the blow-back which would inevitably come from such a problem.

tl;dr: We have reliable sources inside the church, scientology management are shitting their pants, people are leaving or thinking of leaving the church in droves, people inside talking about a coup, and their is some 'pleasant surprise' in store for Anon soon, nobody but larmanet knows at this stage what it is.

[Ksandra]

how cow Oo nice!

[Shuvo]

For those who want to help out but can't/don't want to protest on March 15th, their's a few things you can still do. I've listed off a few mini operations from partyvan (I added in some edits to keep it short & simple). The most (and possibly only) important one is the fourth one at the bottom (Revoking their tax exempt status), so if you only wanna do one thing make it that!

Operation: Cruise Control

Edit: (This op is just for fun, don't take it too seriously....)

The best way to hit Tom Cruise and the psychotic cult he figureheads is at the Box Office. We need to ensure that all his movies FLOP. If we can kill his perceived ability to sell movie tickets, he will rapidly find himself out of work and relegated to the ranks of B list has-beens. Lets see him try to sell Scientology on midnight infomercials next to Kirstie Allie whoring for Fat Watchers.

....<snip>

Everyone who does have or can create an IMDB account - vote down all Tom Cruise, John Travolta, etc Films. Apart from Battlefield Earth - that is already as low as it gets.

We should also vote up anything critical to $cientology.

Sign up to IMDb with fake accounts

1. Go to the registration form
2. In the e-mail address field type *something*@slopsbox.com & replace *something* with a bunch of random letters and shit
3. NOTE DOWN THE SHIT YOU JUST PUT IN THE FIELD
4. Make up a bunch of shit to fill the rest of the fields
5. Register
6. Go to slopsbox.com and enter the random letters & shit you just noted down
7. Fill in the captcha
8. Activate your account
9. Go here
10. Give all his fukken movies 1 star
11. ???
12. Profit!
If IMDb doesn't like slopsbox.com as an e-mail address go back to http://slopsbox.com/ and click "List available domains" and change slopsbox.com in the registration form to another address in the list.

This method can be used on other film sites too

Mini Operation: eBay

eBay currently allows $cientology to remove any e-meters for sale on their site. This allows $cientology to completely control the market for e-meters, and hence to make a lot of money from them. Put pressure on eBay to stop this and hit $cientology where it hurts - their wallets.

read about it here: http://realitybasedcommunity.net/archiv ... _abu_1.php

complain to eBay here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/newtoebay/suggest.html

raise awareness about the issue on the eBay forums, chat rooms etc: http://hub.ebay.com/community

raise general public awareness by posting the above link, and this page everywhere you can.

Petitions
Too much to copy paste, go here:
http://partyvan.info/index.php/Project_ ... /Petitions

Revoking Co$'s tax exemption

One of Scientology's main goals from the start was to gain tax-exemption status; a major stepping-stone in building their financial empire, and a practical way to keep the authorities eyes out of their bookkeeping. Expose the scam - revoke their status! Doing so will cripple their organization and will lead to their downfall.

They were granted "religion" status in the '60s; after a bunch of illegal shenanigans it was revoked; in the '90s Clinton let them have it again after pressure from lots of celebrity/Hollywood political donors.

- Write your congressman. Remember: Snail-mail is more effective. A handwritten, non form letter, even if not very well written, is worth a lot because they assume that even though it's only one letter, there are only a small percentage of people who care about the issue that will get around to writing one. So it seems there are more of us than there really are.
- Use various methods of subterfuge when mailing it. See if you can avoid a return address. With the knowledge of Operation Snow White, one honestly has to wonder how far Scientology has embedded itself.

If you don't wish to write a hand written letter, just copy paste the form letter from here:
http://partyvan.info/index.php/Project_ ... _Exemption

Information on addresses etc on where to send the letters too (In the US, EU and Australia) are also in the above link.

Keep in mind that despite all these mini operations, joining the March 15th protest is still the best thing you can do!
