Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

Legions of Anonymous came out today to protest the Church of Scientology. A lively, vibrant, non-violent protest took place. Gatherings started at Hyde park around 11am and then marched to the head office of scientology in Castlereagh Street. The protesters gathered on the footpaths unhindered by police for 2 hours. Chants, speeches and street theater took place. Flyers were handed out to passers by to educate the public on the evils of scientology.

Videos (youtube links): The protest moves off from Hyde Park | Walking down the footpath on the way to head office | Arriving at CoS headoffice | Crowd chants 'brainwashed' | Crowd chants 'GTFO' | Crowd chants 'We are the SPs' | Street speech. Anon talks about Lisa McPherson | At Glebe office chanting 'Hubbard's a wanker' | At the Glebe office. Crowd chants 'why are they dead?'

Further Information: Operation Clambake | Why are they dead? | Project Chanology

The group then marched down George street to the scientology office at Glebe where another lively protest took place.

At both locations scientologists peered down from the windows, taking photographs. They chose not to engage even when they were invited to come and talk to the protest.

Being that this protest was against the Church of Scientology it was good to see no incidents took place with the police. The protest stuck to the footpath and confronted its target. The police were co-operative and allowed free speech and free assembly to take place.

About 250 people showed up. This was a diverse crowd of people. It was organised totally anonymously in a decentralised fashion. There were no leaders, no head organisation. It was pure spontaneous protest from the grass roots.

The legions vowed that this was just the beginning...

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

It's good to see that such a horrible and destructive organization/scam is being met with free thinking individuals who know it's their moral responsibility to stand up and say no more. It's also good that people have the intellect to realize that Scientology isn't a religion any more than other pyramid scams guised as cults. I hope those who are brainwashed will be helped by these legal protests. 

 Liberty will win the day over oppression.  

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

EPIC WIN!
GO AUZZIE ANONS!

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

This is made of win and candy.

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

Joy!  The brave people turning out in large numbers to oppose Scientology's crimes and abuses.  I absolutely love this!

Go Anonymous!

 

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

Oxymoronic. Brave people in masks.

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

Nothing oxymoronic about it. Even masked, it's brave to speak out against an organisation so large, so wealthy, and so unafraid of using murder to solve its' problems.

anonymous protests against unknown issues!!

great !! just bend over and say ahhhhhhhhhh

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

Here comes the lies and slander!

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23189603-29277,00.html

In a statement released this afternoon, the Church of Scientology's
Oceania branch condemned the actions of Anonymous and described the
group as "cyber-terrorists".

"Anonymous is perpetrating religious hate crimes against Churches of
Scientology and individual Scientologists for no reason other than
religious bigotry," the statement said.

"It is Anonymous that has repeatedly attempted to suppress free
speech through illegal assaults on church websites so as to prevent
internet users from obtaining information.

"They have also engaged in other harassment including threats of
violence in telephone calls, fax transmissions and emails, not to
mention the Anonymous mailing of white powder to dozens of our
churches."

 

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

hey! why are they handcuffing me and dragging me off the plane? what's wrong with a bit of white powder? can't they take a joke?

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

so is anybody going to tell me what the actual argument is against the church of scientology? or are you all just going to pat these 'brave' masked protestors on the back for kicking up a minor stink over something-or-other while spouting a continuous flow of rhetoric? all i've picked up is tat scientology seems to inhibit free speech and take money, but since its members or members by choice they are giving their momeny and freedom of speech away voluntarily. also, it seems a little hypocritical to call for the suppression of a religion in response to that religion's percieved oppression of its members. seems to be a little like george w. bush employing biological weapons against Iraq because he suspects that they have them.

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

did you bother to visit the 'more information' links I provided on the main story? I think if you had, you wouldn't be asking this question here.

So i googled 'scientology evils' and this is one of the links: http://www.scientology-lies.com/crimesindex.html

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

You recon Co$ pays these trolls to come on here, or are they doing it on their own, me wonders.

Epic raid, epic story, is winrar.

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

we get regular trolls that are pretty much cynical at anything.

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

The trolls have to pay the church to be allowed to troll here.

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

RON IS GONE BUT THE CON GOES ON ;_;

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

The masks are to avoid the repercussions of the cult.  They are very vengeful and would openly attack a person's livelihood if they had an identity to go against.  The members of Anonymous are doing this not for personal gain, but to help those ensnared in the cult's lies.  There has been no violence, and no one cares if someone decides to worship a crazy alien or a talking waffle for that matter.  However the atrocities that go on inside the church cannot be forgiven.  

All the troll's questions can be answered by doing a little reading.  I know it's hard but you can do it. A lot can be gained by being a little informed.

There are many helpful links in this thread if you would like to learn more.

We are Legion

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

What a waste of protest power. Sure $cientology is a cult, but there are bigger fish to fry. There is a cult millions of times as powerful and dangerous as $cientology. This cult is called your government.. Fight the real power and not an internet fad.

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

Yes comrade we must pay more attention to YOUR cause than OURS!

 

Protest is serious business!

 

*forks over $2 for a greenleft weekly and ignores the irony of GLW sellers alientated labor*

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

Mos tof the bad ppl in our govt are $cientologists! So in effect we are doing what you say. ;)

 

Long live <Pred>. 

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

There can be little doubt that $cientology is a dangerous superstition which is ultimately psychologically harmful to its members.  It is likely also harmful in other ways.  These facts just make $cientology another religion like Chri$tianity, I$lam, or Judai$m.  It's interesting that people seem to think it's perfectly acceptable to protest the existence of one silly cult while simultaneously demanding [or passively endorsing through inaction] special status for their own bizarre cult, such as tax exemptions for a church.   The only significant difference between a religion and a cult is the number of members.  Those stupid enough to become pawns of $cientology are likely unteachable, and if $cientology were actually "stopped" [whatever that means] these same retards would wind up at the local church or they would give all their money to the nearest "psychic".

Re: Anonymous Confronts the Church of Scientology

These facts just make $cientology another religion like Chri$tianity, I$lam, or Judai$m.

Freedom of belief is not freedom from criticism. The actions of "the church" in systematically stifling decent, destroying lives, suing and killing can not go unchallenged under the banner of "freedom of belief". They sued Google to get a high search ranking for fuck sake.
Religion is generally free, Scientology is a business selling its copyright material to drones, it scams people out of their lives.
Read about the actions of the organization (eg at xenu.org) its not a religion and its not a cult, its a scam.
