IMPORTANT - Regarding the next step

*ATTACK THE CHURCH, not the people, not the beliefs!


After 2/10 there will be a HUGE influx of newcomers. This means that we stop linking to this wiki; it MUST remain a legible source of planning from which Anonymous can direct the outcome of Project Chanology. You know how in those places any original content is drowned in fail within seconds? Yeah, that can't happen here. Since Anon's numbers have grown eightfold, per 711chan's suggestion, decentralization is the key. Each individual anonymous must stop linking here and get the Project Chanology movement a foothold in other, smaller, individual communities. The MMORPG you play? Your myspace faggotry sites? Other forums? Start talking about the movement; give links to whyaretheydead.net or xenu.net. Enlighten the public about what these people have done, but KEEP THEM AT A DISTANCE. Just keep feeding them information that will get them on our side, and when it's decided through discussion and strategy that there will be new protests, or that we need numbers, or petitions, or any other measures that require the masses, these individual anonymous must communicate it to their cells that there will be action against Scientology, and get them to help us. This is how we keep cancer away from Project Chanology and the Anonymous community at large; so please, begin building footholds in the rest of the internet, from Youtube to Xanga, from Digg to Facebook, and get these people on our side. If you STILL don't know why, read up this page and try to work out why we would want Anonymous to remain in order and organization.


March 15, The Ides of March (Aka Operation PartyHard)

Even before the 2/10 protesters have packed up and dispersed, further protest action from Anonymous were being planned. Anonymous WILL return to celebrate L Ron Hubbard's birthday, two days later due to the convenience of the Saturday, on the 15th of March. A big focus of these raids will be protesting the COS' tax exemptions (in countries where it is tax exempt).

Introduction

DDOSing isnt gonna work. This enemy has nearly unlimited resources.

Remember the following when taking any action:

Be compassion our brother,
Whilst reason be our ally.
Knowledge shall serve as our sword,
For lack of name fends our selves.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.

We will be heard.
Expect Us.

Be sensible, cover your back, and don't break the law

Ultimate Goal

The ultimate goal of this campaign is the destruction of the CoS in its present form. CoS is sustained at the expense of its parishioners and donors, and the tax paying public. Therefore, to ultimately freeze their finance, we first need to slow their expansion. The next step is to remove their tax exempt status globally.

Anonymous has always made its home on the internet as a formidable force, if secretive, and by our numbers and resourcefulness we have access to the masses even through our veil of anonymity. Misinformation is one of Scientology's key techniques; two can play at that game.

Because we're using a wiki, everything we say and do is being recorded by mainstream media. That means Anon gets to decide for Anon's own self the moral motivations behind the destruction of CoS. If we destroy to better the world, we lose the luxury of lying to the public - otherwise we wouldn't be toppling CoS, we'd be replacing it.

The next stage is the removal of their lower echelons, the first tier of operatives, the disgruntled employees. This is covered in many other areas, so I'll just explain the principle: dissent. Use whatever means necessary to make them doubt what they're doing. Play the upstairs-downstairs barrier up beyond exaggeration. Make them doubt their way, then use the introduction of alternatives(other religions, scientologist splinter groups, any shit) to liberate them from the CoS. With their finances in disarray, the CoS will become nothing more than an insignificant country club for retarded celebrities. Then it's a matter of waiting for them to make a scene, and the media, now biased against Scientology to a greater degree, will deal the coup-de-grace.

It is imperative to remember however, that we are attempting to topple the Church of Scientology- not their beliefs. Some people seem to believe we are fighting all aspects of Scientology. This is false. We are attempting to topple the corrupt, money-whoring machine that is the CHURCH.

Improvise, use their lies against them, defeat them with the media. Xenuspeed, anon, think as an individual but act as Anonymous.

Guerrilla Warfare in the Age of Information

This is a treatise in progress on the more involved, but still legal, actions of an internet based radical movement. Forgive me for being so presumptuous as to post this so high on the page, but I've spent a great deal of time converting my knowledge of real world battle tactics into, what I feel, is a very strong theory of attack.

Overview

Mankind has reached a crux in its social evolution. Until recently, the might of a radical organization's physical assets were as important and effectual as its prowess in the realm of information dissemination. In order to affect change in government and society, one had to physically overtake the state before inserting his personal philosophy into mass media, leaving this accomplishment only to the most determined of individuals who were willing to spend half their life gathering a personal army for this singular purpose.

Now, with the majority of western civilization receiving their information from the interpipes, and the rest being informed by news sources drawing most of its research from the blogoweb, the flow of information has become the only necessity, and, therefore, the absolute power in any proper guerrilla battle strategy. Of course, there are those who will say that what we do is not guerrilla warfare, but singular actions for nothing more than lulz. While these individuals exist within our organization and claim to be members of the cause, they are only fair weather followers whose sole contribution to the greater purpose is to pose as a distraction for the true effort. The simple reality is that our actions, by our own design, are disorganized, but comprise the base components of the most effectual brand of guerrilla warfare – the systematic winning of hearts and minds.

Many critics of our cause, and sometimes supporters, warn of using unpopular acts to achieve our goals. They say that by using “morally reprehensible” tactics, we fuel the fire of the target and shine a negative light on our organization. It must be made clear that our goals are not that of popularity, but to destroy the target by any means necessary. He who controls the flow of information determines the history of an event. No matter what methods are used, as long as they are informational and not physical, they will end in our favor. We must never be afraid of doing whatever is necessary to destroy the target and accomplish our mission.

That being said, the goal of this treatise is to educate those who wish to take the actions of underground internet groups to the next level, namely, using systematized informational warfare to effectively destroy the target. No army, in the history of man, has ever defeated a well rooted guerrilla insurgency. In fact, every major nation, from Rome the the United States, was at least partially defeated by what amounted to nothing more than a group of peseant rebels. This was due to the insurgency's ability to blend into the populace (a trait already held by us, /b/rothers) and their mastery of the main attack strategy in guerrilla warfare, the ambush. This method is easily carried over to the internet and applied as informational warfare.

The Information Ambush

ambush [am-boosh] - an act or instance of lying concealed so as to attack by surprise.

This definition may seem unnecessary, but it is important to focus on the last word of it. A surprise attack, followed by a hasty withdrawal is the essence of any well executed ambush. The main goal is usually not to eliminate, or even cripple the target, but to weaken their overall resolve. When carried out at with randomization and ferocity, a series of ambushes critically injures the target's morale. We're all aware (at least in principle) how an ambush is carried out in conventional warfare, but how does this translate to the interweb?

First of all, it is easiest to hit the most unguarded public areas of the target. Blogs, forums and comments attached to sponsored media are quick and easy hits (but you probably already know this). When these mediums are hit with hundreds of comments within a matter of minutes, it causes the target to panic. Of course, before they react to the first ambush, the second has already started somewhere else. These actions barely make a dent in their public image, but they serve as the perfect cover for more involved actions, such as the ones I'm about to share.

It would be advantageous of our cause to hijack the image of the target through systematized public relations ambushes. These would not alter our commitment to freedom of information, for they use the target's own public content against them. They could include:

1. Create pop-up and banner ads advertising the target using their own images and words, then randomly spread them. You could make a pop-up ad for free blow jobs and it would still piss people off.

2. For those of us who are a little more code savvy, write spyware that opens internet explorer to the target's homepage every thirty minutes. (See the aforementioned comment on blow jobs)

3. Create subversive links that direct to the target's homepage while advertising anything but it. Imagine the frustration of trying to find a recipe for chicken pot pie and winding up at the homepage of the target.

4. Alter viral videos to cut to the target's propaganda (authorized or otherwise) about ten seconds in. Post these in mass on YouTube and Digg, labeling them as the original video. This also insures that the target will not be able to remove their leaked bullshit, regardless of how many lawsuits they file.

5. Create fun and interesting flash games that, after a few levels, cut to an embedded target propaganda video. Newgrounds, ebaums and AB the hell out of them to get the general, clueless masses wondering what's going on.

6. Create a blog for something like celebrity news and load it up with nothing but stories about illicit actions by famous people affiliated with the target. Embed a link to the target's homepage in every post. (This will also work with blogs about religion, mental health, science fiction, etc.)

7. Use the IRL raids to meet people to form small groups for organized information attacks. You could bring matchbooks with a URL and a one time use password on the inside. When the Anon goes to the site (which appears empty except for a javascript prompt) and enters the password, it is then destroyed in the database and they are redirected to a page with a completely indecipherable URL that they can bookmark. This page can be a forum where more audacious actions are planned in secret, while maintaining anonymity.

In Closing

If these actions are carried out randomly and from multiple sources, they prevent our enemy from ever tracking them. They initially will be so consumed with attempting to intercept them that they will leave themselves defenseless from larger information attacks which I will describe at a later date.

Please add any suggestions on techniques as I plan to make this a full treatise on information based guerrilla warfare to be spread around the interblogs.

Possible battle strategies

Forced random encounters

TL;DR Individual cells can organise their own random raids, some false some real, keep in touch with your local anon cell, keep the ball rolling and keep the scilons guessing/wasting money.

As part of the decentralisation idea, I would like to recommend a policy of random/false raids world-wide, or at least some policy/operational guidelines in order to surprise the Co$. The main reason being, on the 10th when the raids showed up, alot of the places were reported shut in preparation and security forces were on standby. This is a huge opportunity to cause havoc, especially if we spread misinformation about false raids, and organise raids quickly so Co$ can't respond in time to hide their followers, shut buildings or hire protection.

In either case, we catch Co$ off-guard and get in touch with their followers, convincing some of them to leave or ask questions, or we force them to shut for the day and waste money on hired staff. It's win either way. They will not know when we are coming, if they do, that's okay, if enough people do it, the centres will be on their own against individual raids, rather than their whole organisation globally preparing for one huge raid. This is also a good way to keep the momentum rolling, a form of practice for another big raid if we want one.

Possible policy for those who decentralise their raids include:

0)Anonymity is your friend. Although your cells will be regulars, your only meeting points would be the protest site and the site from which you get your raid information. You need to stay on track, focus on protesting and not trading small talk, phone numbers or IM contacts. There could be PIs and Scilon infiltrators in your cell waiting for personal info to leak through as well. If you bring friends, you should act as if you don't know each other. The original code of conduct still applies and should be your group's mantra. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-063clxiB8I

1)To organise a raid that will occur within a week of posting meet and protest details. No doubt Scilons will catch on and shut down their centre or hire staff, that doesn't matter. This will double as an opportunity for individual cells to meet, and create a code. This code will be used on the site to determine if a future posted raid is fake or real. It should be subtle and hard to notice/understand to the average reader. If a majority of the group as a whole determines that their code has been compromised, the code should be changed during the next real raid.

2)For everything real raid, post 1-3 false raids. These raids should not be posted at the same time. One raid post at a time, again for the element of surprise.

3)THE OWNER OF THE SITE SHOULD NOT REVEAL THEMSELVES, everyone should talk as if no one there owned the site, names and websites should also be withheld. You can discuss it in small groups during protests, using loud shouting and moving from protesters to cover up your conversation, before breaking up into smaller groups and passing it on to the protester cover agents. Once that's done, thats the end of the discussion until further notice. Discussion groups and protest groups should be rotated. If you discussed a code the previous time, you're on cover duty the next.

4)Individual raids should try and organise their own dates and meet points without influence from other cells activities, in order to keep up the randomness and confusion. The above mentioned method could be used to find a suitable date for the next raid.

5)NEWFAGS ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED, you can't worry to much about scilon infiltration, it doesn't matter based on your limited contact and you can't afford to be paranoid. You'll be able to spot them quickly as they won't be protesting or they will be doing un-anon things. Again, double win. If they inform on you, the worst that will happen is a shut-down centre or hired staff, again meaning lost money to Co$.

TL;DR Individual cells can organise their own random raids, some false some real, keep in touch with your local anon cell, keep the ball rolling and keep the scilons guessing/wasting money.

Two rights do not absolve continuing wrongs

One of the points of focus that CO$ is directing the media's attention to is their involvement in community work. The main ones mentioned by the head of the NYC group were a drug prevention program with children as young as 6 years old, and a movement to teach the UN declaration of Human Rights in schools. Why not point out that not all drugs are bad - the number of people who have died due to the Church's policies on medication - and some of the cases were the Church itself has violated the UN declaration of Human Rights. The face that Co$ is showing the media is one that refuses to acknowledge these past offences in the light of their current community work. Someone who volunteers at a soup kitchen but who has killed someone by starving them, is still guilty.

Show your love...

"Valentine's day approaches. I recommend raids to distribute Valentine's cards to scientologists as they leave their centres. Naturally, you will sign the cards as Anonymous, in the tradition of the season. Also inscribe a message of comfort, or a link to a website that may help these people by letting them know that they are not alone, and that we are working to help them. "

Memorial services to the victims of Scientology

The reactions from the Church of Scientology to today's protest, while laughable, display a key weakness in their strategy: whatever we do, they will label us as terrorists or something equally ridiculous when commenting to the press.

I suggest, therefore, that we do something that makes such attacks look completely inappropriate and insensitive.

How? Hold a memorial service. Hold memorial services to the victims of scientology outside every Church of Scientology centre.

What would we do?

We gather together outside Scientology centres, dressed in suitably sombre attire, wearing suitably sombre masks. Maybe we sing a hymn - "For those in peril on the sea" is both a suitably solemn hymn while also being a subtle dig at the SeaOrg.

Then we lay floral tributes to the victims of scientology. We hold a one minute silence. And then, (just to prove to the Church of Scientology how unpatriotic and subversive we are) we sing the National Anthem.

By doing this we dare the Church of Scientology to speak out against us without looking like retards along with gaining positive media attention.

Behold My Right Wing Zombie Army

Cross-posted on ED:

Last night I had what may be the Idea: a way to get the right wing/Fox News/evangelical crowd to take up our banner for Great Justice.

For the right wing blogosphere and radio kooks, Clinton is the lever. Bill, that is. After the CoS lost their tax-exempt status (following Project Snow White), it was Bill who gave it back to them. Translated for the right wing, that is ZOMFG CoS domestic TERRARISTS in bed with CLINTONS!

These idiots must attack at any mention of the C- word. So we get them spreading our anti-CoS talking points, thinking they're bashing the Clintons. What's better, is after enough of them go at it, breaking the CoS becomes a conservative issue in an election year, and the candidates have to respond.

Smell that? I do believe that's justice.

As for the evangelicals, it's not entirely my idea but dovetails well. CoS hates Jesus, wants to convert our childruns? CLINTONS!? RAR!

It's a neat way to get everyone who hates us hating for us, don't you think? A few well-placed blog posts and calls to radio shows should turn the trick if combined with letters to megachurches in CoS-infested areas.

It's reasonably well documented that L.rOn implied that Jesus was a "lover of boys and young men." Could definitely be used if somebody is willing to do the research.

Also, the penthouse article on LRH Jr, he states that LRH thought of himself as THE BEAST. Forward the entire article. It's sickening.

Update:

If also-anon has contacted you to do the thing, it will be ready in four days. Don't forget to vary time and location. If you're on the voice end of things, remember to listen to at least one complete broadcast from your target before calling.

--> the F-Bomb of Epic Hate- If the Co$ really tries to get down and dirty...we can retaliate with the F-Bomb of Epic Hate, or most commonly known as 'Fred Phelps'. Yes, that Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church. Now personally, I think Phelps and his legion are redneck scum, but, send him a few letters and Scientology material detailing how LRH and the CoS think Jesus is a pedophile, and it can almost be assured that Mr. Phelps will want to harass Scientology. But, make sure Phelps and his gang are not associated with Anonymous.

He'll also want to know that one of Hubbards sons was gay and committed suicide.

http://www.religioustolerance.org/cultmenu.htm

The above is a religious-people-run site whose offices are in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, and whose servers are in California and Texas. It is a painfully fair site, and has a public archive of its own errata. Their section on Scientology begins with a sentence stating that they cannot, in good conscience and knowing all the facts they could gather, tolerate a "religion" that fleeces its flock as it perpetrates human rights abuses.

This is not some crazy fundie site. They fairly review Brokeback Mountain, and even have advertisements for abortion providers (though they would like to see more women on the pill, etc., so that there is less need for abortion). While they may not like Anonymous's general taste for atheism, the site's writers and the organization that runs the site will have no trouble with our wanting to join their crusade against what any fair and decent person with all the information can see is not just a fake religion, but a menace.

Also, food for thought: The CoS bears many of the hallmarks associated, in the Doomsday philosophies of Christian Fundamentalism, with the Antichrist. (1) Appropriation of the Cross without the Christianity to back it up. (2) "The House of David" -- The leader, right now, is DAVID Miscavige. (3) The Antichrist will be a smooth talker. (4) And the leader of a multinational business enterprise. (5) And "he will promise peace in our time if only we will surrender in thought and in action to him."

Now, I am not a Christian, neither was I born one, but this stuff has to have occurred to someone else, too. Someone Christian who finds scilons just as terrible as we do. Maybe if we let them know we see the parallels, they'll join us and help perpetrate some real peace, n'est-ce pas?


I'm a right-wing zombie, and I'll post it on my blog. Sounds like fun...although I doubt anyone's going to think ZOMG Clinton=C0$!!eleventy!!11! It's not really necessary to tie it to the Clintons, anyway--nobody likes sicko cults like C0$. A few well-placed blog comments on VRWC blogs (by anyone) can't hurt, either.
Re Scientology & Antichrist: Hubbard was involved in the OTO for a number of years; performed sex magic rituals (!) with Jack Parsons; The Process Church of the Final Judgement and Son of Sam were splinter groups; L. Ron Jr has claimed that Scientology was set up as one big covert Satanist organisation with members being unwitting practitioners and that for a while his father claimed to be the Antichrist!

Idealistic Strategy

Now remember, we have a much larger ally than has occurred to most of you: The common people. Hundreds of millions of normal citizens who may not be part of our legion, yet still maintain brain function absolutely and HATE the scientologists, for many of the same reasons we do. Can the majority lose? We are the majority here, by far. In other words, our victory depends ULTIMATELY on enlisting support of the masses. We need to get them to engage in many of the activities that we are already performing in order to make a dent in Scientology's historically impregnable organization. I'm not saying "bring every person from the streets and have em' join anonymous." Rather, leave anon out of it: just encourage civil agitation on moral grounds. Our idealistic strategy would be to build a wide coalition (directly and indirectly) to crush the "church" of scientology into the ground like a meteor crushes an armadillo.


At this point seeing as we want to affect the people within scientology, we must find a way to cause the church to spend as much as possible. Any information regarding their fiscal (i.e. money flow within the company) would allow us to target key areas within their system by exploiting choke spots.


Short of electroshock therapy to the lesser members of the organization, it should be noted that if we achieve a strain on their expenses long enough, they would most probably increase taxing on their lower tier members in order to compensate. This would in effect generate the strain that would , in the perfect situation, generate the kind of strife that could effectively push a person to leave the church. However this generates a moral question, which would in effect demand that before we undertake any such operation, that we have a plan to bring support (generally information on the proper help groups) to these people.

http://ocmb.xenu.net/ocmb/viewtopic.php?highlight=taxes&t=24295 (analysis of property tax load of CoS in ONE county...)


  • Take note that pursuing legal action at this point against scientology in order to directly attack their tax exempt status would be nearly impossible seeing as thanks to being tax exempt they can generate a very sturdy flow of income and produce a legal stalemate before any government body can take any real action. A parallel can be drawn with the tobacco industry in execution, however the methods employed are most probably going to be very different. Looking at the kind of potential financial burden that they would be hit with based on the accelerated expansion since they received their tax exempt status, it would be safe to assume that they would be driven to claim almost immediate bankruptcy.


    • However, if some kind lawyer were to pursue legal action on our behalf for free, sources indicate that that would be epic win.

Another protest is to be held in Dublin on the 15th of February, at 2 PM, same place.

Splitting the CoS via Psychological Operations

The long years of psychological conditioning endured by CoS members, especially members that have been with the church the longest, will have created VERY powerful barriers between the "in-group" (other scientologists) and the "out-group" (non-believers). The problem with dealing with religious folks like this is that we, the enemy, are ANOTHER step of out-grouping away. The CoS will not be manipulated from an outside mob.

That being said, if you havent seen it yet, read this message allegedly from someone on the inside: http://forums.enturbulation.org/viewtopic.php?t=1619 If this is true, there is turmoil and confusion within the CoS. This is an opportune time for us - people who have doubts, who feel trapped, who would otherwise be too scared to speak out, may be emboldened by widespread support. Now attention is on the "Church", their dirty tactics of fear, spurious litigation and defamation are no longer as powerful because we are watching them, and just waiting for them to give us something more to expose.

Fight the Suppression of Information

Fight the CoS PR machine by outmaneuvering them. Publicize their secrets so that popular culture uses the info against them. The CoS look like a bunch of fools when they attempt to suppress information.

>Write Scientology fanfiction. Create fake accounts on Fanfiction.net and Deviantart and start updating "Buffy the Thetan Slayer" or "Sephiroth vs Xenu" or "Inuyasha: the Secrets of Scientology". Update frequently, more information each chapter. Submit it to fanfiction contests, linkspam it on fansites, etc.

If anyone could draw Scientology fanart, it would be massive win. L Ron Hubbard was a Sci-fi/Fantasy writer; he'd be flattered by all the fan dedication, stands to reason.

Demand Congressional Investigations

The protests tomorrow will be a great start. But just a start. If you want to cause lasting damage to the Church's leadership, we need to hit them harder. The Protests will attract public attention. But we will need to do more.

After the 10th, go to your home county's Registrar office, and find out various laws regarding getting signatures from registered voters to demand congressional action. A strong grass roots demand for a congressional investigation into Scientologies alledged practices and abuses following the 10 FEB Protests. Get enough registered voters in multiple voting districts and trust me, you will have the politicians attention. Also, e-mailing your congressman and senator individually will trigger a reaction if enough Anonymous send them.

This might very well result in David Miscavige and his cronies hauled before the Senate Judiciary Committee to awnser some "Questions". After seeing some previous interviews from David Miscavige, I can only conclude that this will result in EPIC Fail for $cientology. Additionally, because Congress likes to keep all things Balanced, they may very well call on Mark Bunker and other dissidents, maybe even Lisa McPhersons parents, to testify as well. The effects of a congressional investigation, under the live cameras of CNN, FOX, MSNBC, and even C-SPAN will have cause some of the most horrendous damage this publicity averse cult has ever sustained.

Get to it, people! here is a link to email your congressperson https://forms.house.gov/htbin/wrep_const

Create Squads/Taskforces

Creating squads with their own mission/task could help to unite the effort, I suggest creating taskforces unite the effort by bringing together groups of people that have skills or time for efforts such as photochopping, archiving/mirroring information and contacting media. These taskforces should have their own IRC channel for communication.

Making Art to Support the War Effort

like, Anon to collaboratively write an "alternative history" fiction where CoS "clears" most of the industrial world, to illustrate the horrors of the logical end of their deep-rooted fascist ideology. Let's use this internets platform to make this collaborative fiction 's "canon" - material that documents what occurs within the diegesis (or narrative borders) then spontaneous organization will take up from there with fake interviews world war z style, web comics, webisodes etc

It could be useful for different reasons ; to excite the emotions of pity and fear to motivate, inspire, keep people's attention on the long run, in between events, by making us come back compulsively F5ing for new content and so forth

Complain to other authorities

There has been a lot of talk on this page about complaining to elected representatives, but working for a major retailer and being active in local politics I'm aware that these aren't necessarily always the best people to approach in these instances. Here in the UK, the governmental regulatory bodies that look after consumer rights - protection against fraud, that sort of thing - are called Trading Standards, and they operate on a regional basis. Since it is our contention that the 'church' of Scientology makes a variety of claims about what its technologies are capable of achieving for members, members must pay for the goods and services that comprise this technology and their claims are false, and since there's a good degree of evidence to back this up, it struck me last week that each individual outlet, or church, has a case to answer for fraud, and that therefore it would be appropriate to report each outlet to the local division of Trading Standards.

Looking into this matter today I discovered that emailed reports to Trading Standards are now handled by a separate government department called Consumer Direct [1]. I therefore went to the online complaint form, and submitted my complaint (it is possible to do this anonymously, but I did include my full and correct details so as to add legitimacy to the complaint). Since I live in Manchester, the text of the complaint itself, limited to 3000 characters, ran as follows:

(Begins)It has come to my attention that the trader detailed in Section 2, an arm of a transnational corporation, is operating fraudulently. Although I have not personally paid for any goods or services supplied by the trader or its corporate parent, I am concerned that its continued advertisement of its goods and services presents a danger to consumer welfare in Manchester. Specific examples of such fraudulent practices include:

- The promotion of free ‘personality tests’, which have been found to act such that even the optimal (i.e. best possible according to the test’s definition of ‘good’ or ‘bad’ answers) response set will lead to a recommendation that the participant invest in products and services supplied by the trader (see e.g. http://home1.gte.net/deleyd/religion/scientology/scientology.html), indicating the test is a fraudulent marketing tool; - The offering for sale of services promoted under the banner of ‘Dianetics’, which, it is claimed, can relieve mental and psychosomatic physical ailments, but has been found by independent scientific studies to bring no such benefits (see e.g. http://home.snafu.de/tilman/krasel/dianetics_test.html); - Claims that the purchasing of such goods and services will lead the purchaser to attaining supernatural powers, which have never in the history of the organisation been demonstrated (see e.g. http://www.auditing.org/13-ot.htm); - The promotion of the premises under the trading name ‘Church of Scientology’, which is inherently misleading as it implies the organisation is religious in nature, yet numerous practices employed by the organisation – e.g. its reliance on such marketing techniques as those outlined, its requirement that adherents pay large sums of money to gain access to its texts, and its maintenance of copyrights over those texts – indicate that it is not a legitimate religion; - Worldwide reports of threats to the health, safety and wellbeing of purchasers of its goods and services, e.g. its insistence on ‘disconnection’ from those who oppose the organisation’s activities (see e.g. http://members.chello.nl/mgormez/childabuse/disconnect.html), its opposition to the legitimate science of psychiatry (see e.g. http://carolineletkeman.org/sp/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=88&Itemid=104) and allegations of medical malpractice in the 1995 death of Lisa MacPherson , culminating in a settled lawsuit for wrongful death (see e.g. http://www.sptimes.com/2004/05/29/Tampabay/Scientologists_settle.shtml).

You may also be familiar with reports that the organisation has been guilty of numerous abuses of human rights and national laws; I appreciate that such matters do not fall under your purview, therefore my complaint against the trader refers specifically to the above-mentioned threats to consumer welfare in Manchester. I would therefore like to request that an investigation be undertaken into the trader’s activities, and that the appropriate action be taken against it thereafter. (Ends)

There are several things to note about the way I went about this: first of all the sources could be better; sadly it was only after I finished writing it that I found this page [2], which has some much better sources and is recommended to anyone wishing to replicate the exercise. Secondly, I was very careful in the language I used, being clear that my complaint was directed at the specific trading arm of the organisation, referencing actual or potential offences of fraud or other breaches of consumer welfare, and scattering it with words and phrases I expect a Trading Standards officer to understand, such as 'trader', 'corporation', 'goods and services', 'purchaser' and the old favourite, 'health and safety'. I made no reference to Anonymous, and specifically stated at the end that any controversies about Scientology that I knew would not fall within the remit of the authority had no bearing on the complaint.

I haven't had a response yet, naturally, but it'll be interesting. I thought I'd post about this here because it would be good if other British Anons living near to the other churches sent something similar (Consumer Direct covers the whole country), and also if someone could hit the national body handling this kind of thing, the Office of Fair Trading [3] - but this is also contactable through Consumer Direct, so I'm not sure whether it would be possible for the same person to make separate complaints about local branches and the organisation as a whole without looking too much like we've got an axe to grind, which is what I was primarily trying to avoid.

Also, perhaps Anons living elsewhere could look into the options for authorities to petition in their jurisdictions, and post their findings here too.

Get companies to denounce Co$

DELL, 7/11 and PHILIPS ELECTRONICS HAVE OFFICIALLY DENIED ANY LINK TO SCIENTOLOGY/CoS - Get Other Companies To Follow Their Lead - Needs a Worldwide MAJOR FUCKING Effort

The corporate world knows Scientology is poison, read this http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23192847-2,00.html

from the Aussie anons: "This gives us another tactic - let's make an official letter of enquiry from the international volunteer activist group known as Anonymous, as to whether company X has any dealings with the CoS organisation, and the nature of those dealings. Politely acknowledge that a response is entirely voluntary, and we will take care to only boycott companies where we have a reasonable suspicion of a link. Official confirmation that the company has no links to CoS, (preferably a press release or other official announcement, as we have no spokespeople or leaders to accept correspondence) will spare them from an upcoming worldwide boycott campaign. It is in the interests of company X to follow the lead of major companies including Dell, 7/11 and Philips Electronics in confirming there are no links, or severing any link which does exist. After the global Feb 10 protests that have attracted attention and support (especially from young people, a demographic often said to be complacent about social issues), there may be reason to believe such a boycott would be commercially damaging to corporation X.

We send this out, addressed to every department/CEO who would have an interest in it. They'll probably get many of the same letter from different anons, which is good."

Needs a massive effort from our USA anons to succeed, because the big American companies won't listen to anyone downunder. (They've even stopped letting them play multiplayer on games that can in every other market e.g. Medal of Honor: Heroes 2)

In addition to the letter idea, personally we should take every opportunity to let business know Scientology will drive customers away - if restaurants give you a feedback card to fill out, if their are salespeople trying to sell things to you, any opportunity you have, say that you heard that CoS is doing some terrible things and you will not deal with anyone that's with them. Good ol' Tom Cruise said "You're either with us, or you're not." He's right, and Corporate America needs to show which side they are on.

Then the next step is to actually carry out the boycott - compile evidence of any links. If any are found, publish the info, if the company's response is not satisfactory we start publicising it with protests, flyers, and talking about it.

Even if no company admits to having links and we are unable to find any, if more companies rush to distance themselves from the Cult of Scientology, that would be an epic PR win. We'll just have to boycott Scientology celebrities. Though that sort of negative marketing might seem a bit too personal. (That won't trouble some Anons).

Non-Anon Allies

The #socal branch already have a 30 year, top level CoS deserter in our corner. Her name is Tory "Magoo" Christman and she's very active (and not scared) in trolling the CoS. She'll be at the LA raid on Saturday. As will Graham E Berry who is one of the only lawyers who have stood up to CoS's heavy-handed litigious cosh. They will lead us to moar old school anti CoS warriors. We need to welcome these people and listen to them; for instance Tory advised we one-down the 'fag' suffix since NORPs (Normal Ordinary Responsible People(s)) don't 'get' the in-joke and feel uncomfortable with the 'homophobic' overtones of our lingo. That's just one example. We need to be aware now that "SCIENTOLOGY'S CLOSED DUE TO AIDS/THETANS/XENU" means nothing to them.

TL;DR? Let's not alienate no-anons with 'offensive' terminology and/or cliquey shit. Graham for example, is going to be of immense help when it comes to getting the CoS tax exempt status looked at again by the IRS and even having the government open a RICO investigation of the 'church'

Proliferation of Knowledge

Spread the CoS's "religious texts". Use torrent sites such as Piratebay, Mininova, etc. Upload documents to google, yahoo or microsoft and other large tech portals. Save evidence as photos or ZIPs and upload to tinypic, imageshack, mediafire/rapidshare, thatimagesite.com etc...

Information was meant to be free. When presented correctly, it catches like wildfire and cannot be stopped. Accompany docs and videos with "Copyrighted content shared under USC.107, Fair Use." If CoS tries to hide this info from public view, they'll end up looking like even more like a CULT full of crackpots.

Put the scientology vids on to youtube, Mojoflix, Live video, google video ...etc. As for scientology docs if anyone has a OCR reader put the docs on wikia's scientology wiki, and possibly wikibooks.

The slow pace at which followers learn the "higher secrets" of CoS causes the believer to not question them. Brainwashing intensifies the longer it is in place, so a 20-year member will believe anything they're told whether it sounds batshit crazy or not. Because of this, it is important that Scientology's advanced materials be disseminated not only to the media and the public at large, but also to their own lower-level followers. A person who hasn't been brainwashed sufficiently will recognize how insane the CoS canon is and leave. Additionally, because believers have to pay for the this knowledge (and because human nature dictates that people won't pay for shit when they can easily get it freely) CoS will have its primary source of income castrated. In my opinion this is THE MOST EFFECTIVE way CoS will be taken down.

using the email server fastmail.fm one may take on the form of any email address by putting it into the from window , using this we can attack by sending mass spam and false emails from heads of scientology.

Note: Members are taught that reading the confidential higher level materials before they are "ready", may make them become ill and possibly die - that south park managed to broadcast a cartoon version of OT3 without the hospitals being overwhelmed, proves this is not true. Members will not leave because you tell them that the upper levels "are crazy", they will either think what you have said sounds reasonable, or that you have read a squirreled (modified) version which is full of changes to make Hubbard look bad.

A different angle is to point out the systematic squireling/modification of LRH's work by RTC (the goal of RTC is to keep the tech pure). Each time they re-release all of Hubbard's books, they find various things that need to be "corrected" in order to make them even more "100% standard tech". The most blatant "correction" they have done is on the definition of the second dynamic, changing it from "a) sex, b) family" to "creativity". One guy did a 230 page report on this changed: http://www.truthaboutscientology.com/alter/seconddynamic.html (and later got ex-communicated because of it). There is a longer list of other alterations that can be found here: http://web.archive.org/web/20020107032138/http://scientologyintegrity.org/htmldocs/squirrel_documentation.htm - the advantage of pressing on this point, is that if they happen to have both old and new copies of the books in question, you can sit them down and prove the change (which bypasses the various arguments such as "anyone critical of Scientology must be full of lies or mis-representing the truth").

How about making Scientology a general target? Promote anyone who just wants to pull off any type of prank to defaultly target Scientology. This goes for hackers and such too. (Hacking is illegal don't do it)This recruits more than just Anon. members and it has the potential to be more than just annoying.

Offline

Caution: There is a site that has a list of ways the scifags have harrassed people. One form is anonymous letters from "concerned neighbours"/scifags about the person...typically they say "It has recently come to my attention that Anon is a child molester, rapes sheep, and runs an illegal moonshine and bootlegging operation. Just wanted you to be careful!"

If they see your face, they will take a picture. If they know your name, they will find out where you live. If they try to follow you, lose them or you will most likely be harrassed.

Note: If you do decide to take offline action, take every precaution necessary, and always be overcautious when it comes to avoiding being photographed or being identified: If you see two cameras, always assume there are at least two you don't see. If you identify one Org member or security guard patrolling the area, always assume there are at least three or four you aren't able to identify. Remember: anonymity is our greatest asset. As you might have guessed, masks are a must. Where protesting in masks is illegal, use sunglasses, hats, anything legal to conceal your identity.

Go to the forums.

Hand out flyers near CoS locations. Conduct the same disinformation campaigns they do. Plaster over their signs with your signs. Avoid outright vandalism, graffiti and destruction, because that alienates the public and hurts our credibility.

Business Card Spamming

Think about it. Business cards are the perfect way, in a tiny format, to spread the word. Not only are they inexpensive to produce, but their form factor allows them to be inserted almost ANYWHERE unobtrusively, as well as distributed during raids. One version of the cards is currently undergoing a development phase. It will be shared here upon completion. Along with this, the cards could be distributed at the following (feel free to add)

  • Slipped into the card dispensers of professional, academic, or any offices.
  • Slid through mail slots, into mailboxes, under windshield wipers
  • Snuck under a latte, under the lip of the cookie jar, on the keyboard. (Starbucks, ahoy)
  • Into retail boxes. Know how some boxes have just the sticker seal? Inject the cards there
  • Dropped into open bags on public transit.
  • Go to bookstore and slip them in every book written by L. Ron Hubbard.

YOU FOUND THE CARD Spamming

Similar to the business card spamming, get a bunch of blank cue cards and a sharpie, write "YouFoundTheCard.com" on the card, and nothing else. Leave the cards EVERYWHERE. The sheer mystery of the card will drive most people's curiosity into visiting the link, and the link has LOADS of information, and a very catchy way of handing it out. :)

Sticker Campaigning

Anonymous has shown that a simple image - http://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=guitarronik3.jpg - placed as a sticker could be INCREDIBLY effective. If this were distributed to the endless pandering scene kids of the world, they would soon appear everywhere - bathroom stals, busses, trains, posts. These footpads with chaotic tastes and no real direction would provide a far faster and far more effective distribution and adhesion network than already exists. Now all that remains is to enact this.

Send anon-reviewed press releases to local media. Hand them a story that demands a rebuttal, such as "allegedly responsible for the deaths of 5 former members" or "secretive organization angers YouTube viewers." Include solid, cited evidence (which Scientology can't provide.) Read Wikipedia and Operation Clambake publicly-verifiable information such as court hearings, etc. Scientology organizations use "management by statistics", statistics for the week are always collected at Thursday 2pm. People / departments / organizations, that have lower statistics than the previous week are considered "down-stat". The LRH "birthday game" is taken quite seriously, it gives an award to the organizations that had the highest percentage increase in their statistics since last year. It is considered out-ethics (a sin) to be downstat, and it can result in losing privileges/timeoff, and getting into trouble with higher-ups or the ethics department. Causing mass down-statistics is a good way to get the attention of the higher ups. It is usually fairly frantic on a Thursday before 2pm as everyone is trying to get their stats up. So Thursday before 2pm is the best time to do an IRL DoS attack, especially wasting the time of the sales / registrar department (money-in is an important stat).

  • This strategy seems quite viable. We should look into which networks are used for this process.

If you are planning on doing a protest, lunch-time is at 1pm-2pm, and dinner is from 6pm-7pm. Protests trying to get the attention of members should be timed for these times, otherwise you will only get the attention of a few staff members (everyone else is likely in the course room).

Stress Test Lulz

As proven by various YTMND users, the E-meter device is a load of, with lack of a more intelligent sounding word, utter bullshit. You simply Squeeze the cans to make the stress levels go up, and gently release to make them go down. This can seriously screw with the Auditor, making him or her doubt their own technology. This can be applied in numerous ways:

When they ask you to envision something stressful, do, but ease your grip on the cans. This will probably get a "Wtf" look out of the auditor. And he/she will probably press some buttons and move some switches with a puzzled look on his/her face. When they ask a Non-stressful question, such as "What makes you happy" START THE DEATH GRIP and watch their face light up with "OH MY GOD YOU ARE SO STRESSED". Lather, rinse repeat until they are speechless and knocking on the machine puzzledly.

Or

With every single question, Keep a light grip. This may make you a holy, stressless being in their eyes, but has never been attempted/put on record.

Or

With every question HOLD IT IN A DEATH GRIP. They may think that you are so evil you could only be the reincarnation of Xenu himself. Beware of blasters. Also never attempted.

I took the Stress Test a few years ago. For each question they asked, I gave an answer that led back to how horrible my sister's childhood pet, a cockatiel, had been to me. I gave them the impression that I felt the bird had gotten me fired from each job from which I was fired, that the memory of the bird haunted me so that I had to quit the remaining jobs, that every time I felt nauseous or had a cold or flu was accompanied by the scent of discarded feathers and bird poop, and that, finally, I was terrified of pigeons because they all seemed to be "turning into cockatiels" to me.

I got the exact same robotic body language and smooth-brained, taxidermists' glass-eyed stare as the old lady in front of me whose big problems were paralyzing arthritis, and having been raped twice by an assistant butcher, once at the age of 11 years, and again at the age of 12, and never having told a soul until then.

Do you want to know what the scifags prescribed FOR BOTH OF US? That's right. "Buy a copy of this book. The author, L. Ron Hubbard, really knew his stuff. Also, the first auditing -- that's our mind-science helper -- is free if you present your reciept for the book!!!" Cheery smiles and "Next!!!" Like they're PEZ dispensers with books instead of PEZ in their necks...

Infiltration

Every spy we gain is a member-fee that CoS gains. Spies will need to be well funded and highly purposeful members of our organization. However, we are anonymous, and many of our members are protected by the 5th. Any private investigators able to suggest methods of information extraction? Any lawyers able to cite precedent for online protest law? There is an anon on the IRC who is the son of a PI. He might know something. Inquire _Nami_.

Sun Tzu says that the first spy we must procure is the "doomed spy;" the turncoat; the double-agent. "Lavish them with gifts!" He says. Let the turncoats who provably aid our cause immortalize their names here, so that we may anonymously lavish them with gifts of thanks for helping free their brothers from wretched tyranny. Such will be the mass's answer to the seductive aristocracy. Additionally, you should check with your local courts to see if anonymous donations are tax deductible. These turncoats MUST be uniquely worthy of this gift, or we will only end up funding the enemy. As a result, the spy is "doomed" to remain an individual, and will never be Anonymous.

Okay, listen up: if you give anyone a 'gift' who performs a service for you, the feds consider that to be income for a performed service (how the CoS gets away with making people pay for things that they call 'donations', I don't know, moar info plz, maybe some of you legal people can poke into it); however, a 'gift' for the hell of it can be excluded from taxes. This is a huge legal grey area, depending on which judge you get if you get caught -- if it comes out that 'gifts' were used as payment for a spy, the judge could term it 'payment for services rendered' and make you pay it. TL;DR: Consult a lawyer/accountant to make sure you're doing all this properly. Good luck to any double-agents, don't let them brainwash you!

I'm the guy that posted above. Call me spyfag1. I will require legal council before I continue infiltrating, but I've already gone as far as asking for basic information, out of curiosity, on my own time. I held their metal dongles while their machine made machine-like noises at precisely 22.2 Khz - mono. I spend much of my time as a student of economics studying philosophy - including religions - but CoS is very very good at keeping information hidden. Any info that Anon can provide would be helpful. We need an "about Scientology" wiki. Informing the public (and me) is a way of increasing the power of our weapon AND undermine them at the same time.

Also, the very concept of infiltration into the Co$ would keep the group paranoid. Imagine signs in front of CoS churches (possibly even modeled after scientology-style "orders") that warn all auditors of the dangers of anonymous SP's infiltrating the orgs and stealing scientology secrets. While this may seem counterintuitive at first, imagine the worry and paranoia we could inspire in their ranks. Best case scenario, their recruiting effectiveness plummets and new potential converts are turned away out of fear that the soon-to-be member isn't what they seem. this may make it more difficult for those planning to become double-agents, yet proving their "loyalty" in the face of such a threat could enable more trust by their would-be superiors.

The e-meter is actually a primitive lie detector, so other techniques to fool lie detectors can also help here. Common techniques involve focusing on a positive thought or memory when asked a negative question (and vice versa). Also, establishing a deceptive baseline can help - have "extreme" (in grip, thoughts, heartbeat, etc) reactions to the simple introductory questions and this will set you up to make further reactions cloudy.

Anybody who wishes to infiltrate CoS must either have a clean criminal record and/or be prepared to have embarrassing secrets exposed. Scientologists are known to dig around for any dirt they can find on potential and current "SP's." And if they can't find anything, they aren't exactly above making stuff up (see Operation Freakout, in which an author was framed for making bomb threats).

Scientology leaders are also known for spying on people they think are up to no good. Try to use pay phones or other methods of communication that can't be tapped when attempting to reach outsiders. Avoid email and snail mail unless security can be absolutely assured. Practice alibis for when you get questioned and/or caught.

Most importantly, make certain you have strong support of friends and family outside the "church" to help you when the spying, questioning, and harassment starts getting the best of you. The last thing we want is another person bullied into Scientology's ranks.

I would be only too glad to do a bit of this. I have already visited the Org in NYC (near the Metropolitan Museum -- I had to pee, and I figured a cult wouldn't mind my peeing there if I talked to them). They purposely have loud, obvious conversations about UFOs and how they're "total bullshit that only a crazy person would believe in" right in front of you so they can weed out SP's. I'd be glad to go back. They show an interview with L. Ron and this British journalist. Hubbard's office decor in the video is... Well, for something paid for with some poor schmuck's dying dollar, it's certainly not acceptable in the least. But the Org has great decor and a bust of LRon that looks a lot like Ray Bradbury.

this guy gave up trying to infiltrate after just 11 days: http://www.hollywoodinterrupted.com/archives/ebner_undercover_scientology_spy_magazine_1996.phtml

Yeah, I saw that back when it first came out (I had a subscription to SPY and was a finalist for their internship when I was in college). He approached the whole thing wrong and was easily recognized as a reporter for the questions he asked. Also, SPY was a tiny little publication with practically no friends (it had the flavor of a tabloid plus one of the less-illegal chans plus Anonymous plus a hefty helping of Something awful, but all done in the manner of those old classic Hollywood reporter/press agent movies like _The Front Page_, _The Bad and the Beautiful_, and _The Philadelphia Story_. The last of the three is where the name "SPY" came from: It was the tabloid/gossip rag for which the protagonist worked.) At any rate, Ebner had no budget, was on a two-month deadline, and knew he wasn't getting comped by his employer for anything. He did a remarkable job given the time allotted, but part of how the scilons do what they do is that they gather your personal information, then make you buy enlightenment in few-and-far-between installments, which makes magazine infiltration costly and therefore unworkable.

The article did, however, introduce me to the foibles and horrors of the CoS, so I owe it a great debt of moral gratitude.

Electronic Warfare

Automated Simple Circuits

The developement of simple circuits using cheap mats bought from RadioShack that would perform random voice calls with a simple sound file or a fax dialer following the same principle, saved into ROM. Such cheap plugin circuits could be left at random institutions or businesses (ie. coffee shops) and perform simgle calls over intervals (~[5-10] 20 second calls an hour) inorder to reduce detectability. If these are widely distributed, the sum would cause a regular automated congestion on their lines, and this at little expense and minimal traceability.


It would be important to start looking into infiltrating Scientology's central networks and servers in order to datamine sensitive information. Gaining access to associated businesses, email servers and transaction information would be prime targets. Any information into what software or systems they are running so that we may blackbox it is imperative at this point.

  • Hackers, coordinate on Chanology Hacks. This is for penetration and acquisition of sensitive documents or causing long-term chaos - not merely DDoSing.
  • DDoSers, stop DDoSing so hackers can get information.
You should coordinate elsewhere private. Scis are almost certainly watching the public Chanology Hacks page.

Mass Emailing

Need I say more?

Yes! Two main targets can be reached through the effective use of e-mail.

1)Stop them being able to communicate - Tie up all e-mail recruitment pipes so that no one can contact them and start the path to brainwashing and tie up all internal coms so that they can't talk to each other. This is best done with confusion, spam, xenu and spoofed e-mails (from one org to the other)

2)Deprogram - Find a target, have a chat and make sure they are aware of all the evils of CoS. Some useful things i like, set up an e-mail account using the name of someone scientology killed, or a scientologist the internet has a grudge against, etc then when they google the person EPIC LULZ. Lead them into it slowly, at first act like you're interested in whatever they do then slowly build up to debating the truth.

The Law is on Their Side, but not Everywhere

This doesn't make them right. Scientology has been denied tax exempt status in many nations including Belgium, Russia, Canada, Greece, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. See the related wikipedia article. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW466xcM0Yk <- The Wise Beard Guy says we need to focus on their tax exemption: contact your local congressman, senator, whitehouse etc. Find out here how we can give them Tax Rape of the highest order! http://partyvan.info/index.php/Project_Chanology/Tax_Raep

Support and Publicize Scientology's Victims

A big problem right now is Scientology's suppression organization. It is essential that we form a support organization to help those that Scientology goes after. We need to make it safe for those who criticize Scientology to continue doing so.

We all know CoS has a large legal team, so it's important for us to focus on small battles at first. CoS routinely goes after small fish in the sea in an effort to protect their organization. If we form a support structure to defend these individuals, we can chew at CoS's resources and win easy victories.

CoS routinely engages in behavior which is considered harassment under US law. It would be easy for us to fund a small legal battle which could in turn fund a chain of further civil lawsuits against CoS. This could be comparable to how big tobacco was taken down.

Find Public Figures

As the movement begins to mature, it'll be necessary to find people who are willing to publicly stand up to Scientology. Preferably, these will be from those who have already spoken out (professors, lawyers, funny assholes like Howard Stern oh wait thats not very mature etc). This is necessary in order to legitimize the movement.

There are already many public figures and groups that should be considered allies. Anon should reach out to them, explain what's going on and how each could assist the other. Anon could be an important source of support for public facing groups, helping to raise funds, publicize events, get media attention, do research or surveillance, or offer technical support. In return the groups can offer Anon another avenue to the media, public and current and ex scientologists that may be more approachable for some.

There should at least be a list.

Get Media to Report and Expose Scientology

A big problem right now is that whenever the media attempts to report on Scientology, Scientology sends out it's harassment and legal squads to go after the news organizations involved. In most cases, news organizations cave in.

We need to prevent this from happening. We need to signal to the media that caving into CoS is unacceptable.

Guys, I'm a media insider and if there's one thing we reporters don't see a lot of it's positive affirmation. When we do get it, we remember it. I guarantee you if you write follow up letters complimenting reporters who have covered the struggle so far (http://partyvan.info/index.php/Media_coverage#Scientology) you'll give Anon a huge PR boost. In fact, write positive letters to anyone you see covering Scientology. Encourage them in their fight, anon.


  • Contact investigative reporters such as Chris Hansen of 'to catch a predator' and Andersen Cooper to do investigations into the dealings of CoS
  • Tonight in NYC, TNT showed the _Law & Order_ episode, "Sects," (Season 15, Episode 19) about a worldwide cult very much like Scientology. The basic plot mentions a website very much like "Voiceless" and a plot that seems to suggest a gender-switched version of the Miscavige family saga, with incest thrown in for Wolf Pictures' lulz (they get a lot of those at the expense of false religions, probably because Dick Wolf was educated by Jesuits and yet later in life created the infamous 1971 National Airlines "Cheryl the 'Fly Me' Stewardess." This would seem to suggest that there is a great deal of Catholic or lapsed-Catholic guilt hidden deep within his slick, ex-Madison-Avenue-ite soul, and yet Cheryl was lulzy and extremely effective in getting businessmen to ask for National Airlines by name (even if that name **was** "Cheryl" and not "National Airlines" ;)

Wolf and his Right Hand (at least it seems that way from the outside), Rene Balcer (an award-winning French-Canadian journalist) seem to be quite fond of lulz, and we seem to have many common enemies, at least where aesthetics are concerned. Their views on Second Life seem uniformly negative (see the episode, "Avatar," of _Law & Order: Special Victims Unit_).

And they made a direct jab at the CoS's midsection with the _Law & Order: Criminal Intent_ episode, "Con-Text." The shady organization whose lust for cash was behind the deaths in that episode was "GraceNote Powerful Living," which, if my hunch is correct, is named for the ex-scilon named "Grace Note," who has an entire entry on Encyclopedia Dramatica. GraceNote's murder victims are found dehydrated and malnourished, but are posed such that they appear to have committed suicide. When one of the potential witnesses, Lena Caruso (Julie Lauren), is found to have suffered the same symptoms (dehydration, malnourishment, thickening of the eye mucus, etc.) as the primary victims, Detective Alexandra Eames (Kathryn Erbe, who also played Maggie Witzky, Kevin Bacon's character's wife, in _Stir of Echoes_), calls it the "GraceNote Suicide Diet."

I think that someone at NBC/Uniersal, which also owns TNT, likes us, because the showing of "Sect" came so close to our raids. We have an Anon there, or at least an Honorary Anon. Let's be glad for that :D

Watch the Watchers

Once it is safe to do so, willing insurgents should take their video cameras to the large Orgs and film at and around the buildings. The orgs are notorious for shadowing anyone suspicious nearby, and a bold move like this may likely provoke an interesting response from Org security personnel which would make a fantastic addition to the Youtube videos. One suggestion would be to use a buddy system: one person carrying a regular video camera (poorly concealed to attract attention), with another person using a smaller camera or simple cell phone camera to record the org's response.

Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLZJBdvqAv8

Another possibility is to organize small groups of insurgents to document harassment of a person who is being followed, verbally attacked etc. They seem to have people with video cameras who pop out at opportune times, why not bait them and have video cameras come out mid-raid, after harassment ensues.

Before releasing the footage, consider blacking out the faces of any supporters of Anonymous who might be revealed and harassed by the Scifags. It is also advised that if someone on our side is doing something the police might not like, turn the camera away. The police might confiscate the camera in some countries as well if they think it has evidence against protestors.


War of Words

When spreading information regarding Scientology, avoid including religion/church, as not to validate the claims of the Scientology Organization.

Also be careful in calling the CoS a cult. One of their best defenses against opponents is to accuse them of intolerance. Make sure that you back up your statements with evidence that shows that their organization is anything but benign.

I recommend (and have been) calling it the "Church" of Scientology, or the so-called Church of Scientology, etc. It's a good middle ground.

Remember: We are not attacking the everyday practises and beliefs of Scientology. People are welcome to belief whatever they want as long as it doesn't harm others. If you feel the need to justify why the CoS isn't a religion, then here's some quotes and scraps from a flier I never ended up finishing: 

        "I await your reaction on the religion angle.  In my opinion, we couldn't get worse public opinion than we have 
         had or have less customers with what we've got to sell." - L. Ron Hubbard, Creator of Scientology

        "Scientology … is being planned on a religious organization basis throughout the world.  This will not upset in 
         any way the usual activities of any organization. It is entirely a matter for accountants and solicitors."
        - L. Ron Hubbard, Creator of Scientology

        WHY does the “Church” of Scientology promote itself as a religion?:
        • A more positive public perception.
        • A legal shield for shabby science and false medical claims.
        • Tax exemption status.
        • Protection from government scrutiny.
        • The ability to claim “religious persecution” when opposed.

Dissemination of Information to the General Public

Not everyone has the internet and those who do may not be exposed to this movement. Anonymous should consider printing copies of the so called secret documents and leave them in high traffic public places such as Starbucks and McDonalds, leave them haphazardly. Also burn CDs with the various documents and information to leave sitting about, curiosity will do the rest of the work. Make sure to include a page of links to relevant information such as the digest of digg.com links and links to xenu.net with the documents.

Dissemination of information is especially important when that information engage people's critical thinking; simply spamming their documents left and right without also providing point-by-point deconstruction could bring more people to join their ranks. Maybe there's an old school critic of CoS out there who wrote such a point-by-point refutation of one of their key text like Dianetics. (that would make for an ok audio book, too).

Make the truth about CoS as visible as possible. Use Googlebombing to raise the visibility of sites that expose the dangers of CoS.

FOR SWEDEN ONLY: SEND THE SECRET DOCUMENTS TO THE SWEDISH GOVERNMENT. THIS MAKES THESE DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, AND THEY ARE RENDERED OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS, READABLE BY ANYONE.

TO DIGG ARTICLES MULTIPLE TIMES-

1. REGISTRATION. Log out of your current account and click join. pick any screenname with random numbers after it (ex. anon406 or xcalibur3098). the site requires a unique email, but this can easily be bypassed with the periods trick. you can use your own email for this or better yet, register a long (max 30char) gmail. for example, anonymousshallprevailxenurules@gmail.com ... use it for one account, then when you create a 2nd account, type in the same email except with a period, i.e. a.nonymousshallprevailxenurules@gmail.com . for every account you create, just move the period down one letter! when you reach the end of the email, you can use 2 periods the same way - a.non.ymousshallprevailxenurules@gmail.com - like so. after that, simply fill out the rest of the form, using random first/last names and random bdays (as long as theyre in the 1980s or before). then simply log in to gmail or wherever and click the confirmation link.

2. DIGGING. go to search bar and type in "scientology" and digg all the articles relevant to anon vs scifaggotry, or Co$ being evil. after that try other terms, like "scientology anonymous", "hubbard" etc to digg anything you missed. also search "anonymous" and check the first 2 pages.

Thats it! and remember that anonymous is legion and shall prevail.


We need a downloadable DVD iso with video content that can be easily distributed or left.

Mass spamming Maddox at maddox.xmission.com. His site is ranked 500-ish Alexa. But that may end up attracting the wrong kind of people. (maddox@xmission.com)

Make copies of the scientology fliers and place them in daily newspapers either infront of the business or sports sections.

MAKE TV NEWS AND DOCUMANTARIES CRITICAL OF THE CULT OF SCIENTOLOGY ACCESSIBLE:

1. There are revealing news and documentaries popping up in the media from time to time. We need to record them, put them to youtube and vote them up. WHY? Because lots of average people trust more in the official media than they trust Anonymous videos or private anti-scientology websites critical of CoS. Seeing it from TV programms will get them convinced more quickly.

2. Some countries SIMPLY DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD DOCUMENTARIES in youtube and on their TV channels. For example: search for the Cienciologia (spanish) on google and you'll see there's only very few content in Spanish. Not a single protest video!!! Just one message from anonymous, but loads of CoS propaganda. Do stuff in Spanish and other languages if you notice a information vacuum. => INCLUDE THE WORD "CIENCIOLOGIA" IN EVERY YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION!

3. Subtitle videos and documentaries: There are some VERY GOOD ENGLISH DOCUMENTARIES. I think we should do the effort of subtitling them to different languages, like for example German, Spanish and French. Like this we could convince loads of people effectively. A lot of the material needed is already out there! (And don't forget give loads of views and votes to all the anit-CoS videos!) [I'm not a English native speaker so maybe you might want to change something within these last 3 paragraphs]

Media Boycotts

A perfectly legal and easy way to avoid inadvertently funding the Church is to boycott the films, television shows, and music which involved known members. Encourage others to do the same.

A comprehensive and current list of celebrities associated with CoS can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scientologists

Submit indecency claims to the fcc for shows with scientology actors.

A far easier way is same economic tactic in reverse, if you see a news paper run something about how CoS is an evil cult then BUY IT! Go to time magazine and e-mail the ten year old article (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,972865,00.html) to a dozen people (lol scns) and DIGG DIGG DIGG! Make sure everyone knows it's cool to talk about how evil/retarded CoS is!-lol this is a job for you meme forcers!!

Legal Means

If we really want to hurt CoS, we will have to engage them legally. We all know CoS has a large legal team, so it'll important for us to focus on small battles at first. CoS routinely goes after small fish in the sea in an effort to protect their organization. If we form a support structure to defend these individuals, we can chew at CoS's resources and win easy victories.

CoS routinely engages in behavior which is considered harassment under US law. It would be easy for us to fund a small legal battle which could in turn fund a chain of further civil lawsuits against CoS. This could be comparable to how big tobacco was taken down. Begin citing cases you know about below:

Follow the money. Go after the many for-profit CoS related organizations. Direct appropriate information to the IRS, FBI and aggrieved parties wishing to pursue their own lawsuits.

David Miscavage is Chairman of the Board at RTC. In other words he is the top of the chain of command and is running the show, he has a temper and many of people below him are fairly scared of him. If we can take him down personally, then there is the potential for some big changes to happen within Scientology. We need to dig up all the dirt from his past. possibly raising a fund/bounty to pay a private investigators firm to dig up even more dirt on him. The jackpot comes if its possible to prove some specific criminal acts that he has committed personally, and put the evidence in the hands of a government prosecutor and get him sent to jail. He has been close to being convicted in the past, and I am sure that with enough searching something will be found.

Discuss: We do not yet have a legal way to "picket" online. Our DoS attacks are all we have so far, but they're far from a protected action to take. We need to establish a legal method of demonstrating our opposition publicly to their web-site's visitors.

Google "vexatious litigant" if we can have them declared VL it would limit their ability to sue enemies.

Get the IRS and the US Federal Government to take up the fight again

The US Government, mainly the IRS, faught a vicious battle against Scientology and sadly descided to give up in 1993. Scientology had filed more then 2,500 Lawsuits against the IRS in multiple jurisidictions. Many of the lawsuits went on into the 2000's. If ever a federal agency were to hold a grudge against Scientology, it would be the IRS. Picketing of the IRS and mass mailings to demand a removal of Scientologies tax exempt status would be a good way to raise awareness. I'm sure there are some lawyers around here somewhere who would be able to make the case. This would require a massive amount of effort but the gains could be massive.

At the same time, we should hit the US government from another direction. We here at anonymous accuse Scientology of numerous crimes, including kidnappings, forced abortions, murders, and extortion. These are Felonies under US Code, and thus are under the jurisidiction of the US Department of Justice. Picketing, and mass e-mails of the Justice Department in Washington DC could be very helpful in getting there attention. (Maybe hit the IRS and the Justice Department on the same day) Additionally, if you can find a congressman willing for some publicity (In short, all of them) you can have them make motions in Congress to hold hearings on Scientologies practices and crimes, as well as order the Department of Justice to open an investigation. FBI Agents raiding scientologies administrative offices would equal EPIC win.

Get help from the Christians (other religions)

Is the enemy of our enemy really our friend? It would appear so.

You do not have to be a religious person to see that Scientology "tech" is extremely effective at depriving people of their ability to think clearly and totally subjecting their free will to other people. (See the Fishman deposition for an extreme example.) It is a real method of possession in the literal sense. If there is such a thing as occult magic, then COS's use of Dianetics to destroy people is a part of it. Push this point on Christian groups.

At one time, the highest OT level in Scientology included a remark by Hubbard that Jesus was a pedophile. Although there is reason to believe that the church has removed this from the course materials, it still says that Christianity is "false data" to be "stripped." Imagine this: Anonymous sends hundreds, if not thousands of letters to as many prominent televangelists or popular and influential religious leaders as possible with that claim in it. The reaction of these peoples' loyal followers should be absolute outrage and anger, hopefully garnering much support. Even if they don't react like this, providing these people speak about Scientology on their shows or in their lectures, it's going to get at least some attention. The attention alone might at least create the illusion that a large part of the Christian community supports Scientology's downfall, which might really freak CoS out.

As much as we like to be self-sufficent, has anyone really paid attention to the power the christian elite have? Imagine the next republican president issuing a fatwa against the scifags of the same caliber as the fatwa against fagtmarriage. Epic Lulz. The Religion of Peace also reveres Jesus - forwarding the OT8 quote to the local mosque might produce interesting results.

Idea: Go the nearest Catholic church near you and inquire as to the location of the Arch-Bishop. That man holds epic amounts of power, so much so that he may be one of the few who picks the Pope. Find a Cardinal, and you're this close to getting the Holy Father on our side.

In the video from the New Years Speech, several Biblical references are made in relation to violently crushing psychiatry; this could potentially be coupled with the "Why does Scientology have your cross?" posters, or alone as evidence that Scientology advocates violence in the name of God.

If Scientology is against psychiatry and the drugs which are used in it then this could mean that the pharmaceutical industry would have a problem with Scientology. Pharmaceutical companies are extremely powerful and could be of great help. If they could be convinced in some way to help it would greatly aid the cause.

Documentary videos

Videos such as this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPol_m8wm8Y help show the true face of Scientology. The camera man let himself be put into quite a scary situation. If I was him I'd have been shitting bricks. We can counteract their videos of lies by showing the truth. If you do make these videos DO NOT goad or taunt the CoS members in any way. Let the world see how they behave in the face of calm reason and peacefull rationality. And don't do it alone. Always make sure you have some sort of backup, so if the shit hits the fan you have a witness and someone else who can call the police.

Make it Easy

Most people involved in the movement sit in front of their computers all day. I'm sorry to say it, but it's true. We need to come up with ways which make it extremely easy to contribute. Here are a few suggestions

  • Letters to Congress
  • Petitions
  • Poll Spamming<-----This is what scientology does
  • Distribute fliers in the neighborhoods of known Scientologists with information regarding the organization to create social paranoia. Stick to the War of Words, do not scare away potential allies by forcing information down their throat. Flyer that can beprinted and distributed
  • Iowa, your Senator Grassley Is currently conducting a probe into non-profits with tax-exempt status who he believes to be exploiting said status. Send him mail urging him to investigate the Church of Scientology. Concentrate on its financial success as a non-profit and the way it exploits its members for every cent.
http://grassley.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.Home
  • Southern states, take advantage of the religion in your states leadership. It's a stereotype, but it might be true. Take advantage of the Jesus angle by showing them the 'Jesus was a pedophile' document (see above).
  • Put indecency complaints into the fcc for tv shows that have scientology actors. Print out form letters and mail them.
  • Vote ALL L.Ron Hubbard books down in amazon (the scns have voted them all 5star!!)


Newbies, like myself, need a clear and concise overview with suggestions on how to get involved and contribute. Not all sympathizers are naive and best used as cannon fodder or CoS bait. This will be especially true for real life operations in areas where the core Anons don't have a presence.

Suggest Contactables as a place to list potentially sympathetic organisations that should be emailed to request they act against Scientology.

Create Incentives

People will work much harder on the project if they can see tangible results. Add ideas for positive incentives to the list.

  • Consider creating a page listing the current status of all of the Scientology servers. It will be like a game to see how many can be kept down
  • Post writeups of IRL raids. Warning: Care MUST be taken to protect the people involved in the raid!!!

Location for Flyers

Please add your flyers to http://partyvan.info/index.php/Propaganda This should, hopefully, allow us to group the flyers together. Links to press releases and such can go there too. if Propaganda should be renamed or broken up into separate parts, please do so.

Suggestion: I think it would increase the flyers effectiveness if there were country-specific flyers. e.g. Scientology's actions in Canada for Canadian flyers, their actions in France for French flyers, etc. People would be more interested in what they're doing within their own country's borders and not just what they did in the US.

Important: Please make raw files available for easy editing and localization.

From the Inside

Scientology is effective at controlling information available to the public through litigious (and other unsavory) means, but it is even better at controlling information to those already lured into its clutches. Any success in cracking this shield WILL yield benefits.

For this facet, intimidation and harassment are not helpful; education is.

Contact scientologists via email, snail mail, flyering, or any other conceivable method with the TRUTH! Objective, verifiable information disseminated to those on the inside may help break up the ranks.

Deconversion and creating internal distrust may also be good tactics. Insurgents should compile a dictionary of CoS terminology along with its proper use and understanding, including lots of examples of proper usage. See Project_Chanology/Deconversion for more info.

Focus

As an outsider, one of the first things I notice is the extremely large number of targets: websites, phone numbers, fax machines, email addresses, businesses, etc. I'm sure that being able to raid as many targets as possible simultaneously is a great benefit of the crowd/mob organization of Anon, it is much less effective than a more focused approach.

Take phone lines and prank calls for example. If the goal of the prank calls is to slightly annoy, or even amuse, CoS operators, then the current approach is appropriate. However if the goal is to truly disrupt CoS operations, then the lines need to be tied up at all times. This may be happening in some cases already (if so, it should be publicized), but with so many targets it probably requires an absolutely massive number of calls to tie them up 24/7, or even during business hours.

It would be a good strategy to identify the most important targets and bottlenecks and focus energy to completely shut them down. Since I know nothing about the CoS organization and operations, I can't suggest specifics. Possibly Anon could choose to tie up just the phone lines in LA and NY for example, but really shut them down.

  • NOTE: A good choice may be the Scientology Center in Hollywood.
  • I'd like to point out an objection to this: interfering with their 'business practices' per se, while haaving an effect on their operations in the present, isn't going to get us the positive opinion of the public. The CoS could play the (religious) persecution card again and accuse us of disrupting daily 'services', or call them terrorist acts. This would work against us and for them.

Shutting down phone lines with spam would work for a day. Getting people to never call again will work for lifetimes.

Enemy Command & Control

In warfare, enemy command and control is an important, legitimate, and lulzy target. RTC leadership, as well as all Org-level leaders, should be given special attention. Moxon & Kobrin law firm should also be considered fair-game targets, given their position in the church hierarchy. morz... Gilman Hot Springs aka Gold Base is a "secretive" location where the upper management runs things. Coordinate exposure here. They do not like attention here. Apparently there are many people kept prisoner here at this moment (google forums/) They are trying to keep this under wraps. Shine light here. Vampires don't like light. Apparently misgavage (head vampire) ran paranoid after a weird storm came up there at gold base (if you know scientology rhetoric, he blames the storm on a Potential Trouble Source (PTS)) So he's locked all his upper management in pens until they can be good boys and girls again. they are imprissioned but not technically against their wills. Put media highlight on this! Remember no cult likes the media or government entering their main compound (se Koresh and Jim Jones) to investigate. They get paranoid and do stupid things. That would certainly bring the mothership down. I mean Luke Sywalker never protested outside the death star... He went to the core. BTW Misgavage has taken on another paranoid twitch he got from lron. He hates dust. He is ultimatly paranoid about dust (don't ask me why but may have to do with thetans) but maybe someone can use that somewhere.

Decentralized Archiving

This would involve anyone who has the ability to download any material which they come across and take measures to keep it backed up and in their possession in order to guarantee the constant availability and existence of this information. This would ideally involve saving as much information onto external unnetworked media, ie. CD, DVD. We need to back up this site and mirror it, otherwise this wiki is a single point of failure of the raid. webaroo is a program that allows you to save a website plus links form said website to your computer.

  • I've saved all the publicly available docs and information I can find to CD, one's in my safe deposite box, another in my apartment. I'd encourage people to hide the files well, we NEED to keep this stuff available at all costs: our best weapon against Scientology is its own words, the scans of OTIII and the other OT levels, in Hubbard's own words, easily show how much of a crackpot he was. The fact we're all looking at it and no one's died of pnumonia yet invalidates their wild-eyed threats.
    • Someone, set up a Google or Yahoo! group with the files on it so we can download them.

UPDATE: There is now a freenet. information available at http://partyvan.info/index.php/Project_Chanology/Contacts#Freenet_for_Anonymous.

Informants

The Free Zone If anyone knows any such people, they could be an incredibly viable source of information on the innner workings of the church.

  • Let it be duely noted that these are not our targets in any way and that they are people entitled to their beliefs.

Use Facebook advertising

Facebook is definitely a good site to use to disseminate information. Would the use of the "flyers" (advertisements) be valid under Facebook Advertisement TOS. We need to make sure we call attention to the ACTIONS of the COS, rather than blasting the religion itself.

  • I would advise against using Facebook groups since they demand exposure of real user details, and once any scifag has your name youa re no longer protected by the veil of anonimity. Beware Facebooks "flyers" aswell; they may well reveal the same key information.
    • I don't know much about Facebook, but couldn't you just make an account with falsified user data for the purpose of spreading the word, or to hijack the accounts of people you don't like? Preferably the Facebook accounts of SciFags; kill two birds with one stone. Get the user kicked out of the CoS and spread the word at the same time.
      • Yes, but remember that puppet accounts are against facebooks terms of use, so we may see group dropping regularly. It's hardly a reliable center point. However mass messaging people through a dupe account could still proove useful seeing as more people check their Facebook pages than their e-mail these days.As for for hijacking, that is beyond the scope of this section. File it under Electronic Warfare.
Completely forgoing the use of Facebook would be much better and safer in the long run.

Make it a Talking Point

WARNING: TAKING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ACTION WILL MORE THEN LIKELY MAKE YOU NON-YMOUS.

We're coming up to a US presidential election. It's time that we get this in the public eye. Our goal should be to make a politicians position on Scientology and the CoS an important part of the debate, while thinking we can make opposition to scientology a part of the qualifications for getting elected is a bit naive, it's also not impossible: the religious right is massive in the US, where most of the largest Scientology Orgs (like Clearwater and Flag) are, and where most of their celebrity endorsers live. Once this beast has been unleashed, when the above goal of inciting the religious right to attack the CoS can be accomplished, then they may demand that the candidates they endorse attack the church as well. Even Scientology is not suicidal enough to attack a politician, politicians hit back, and they have resources that equal the CoS' own.

Draw politicians fire at the church by mentioning things like their infiltration of the IRS (biggest US government infiltration ever. period. The USSR couldn't even come close in terms of spy information gained from inside) and harassment of critics. No politician will go on the record against free speech or in favor of spies.

Write letters asking congressmen where they stand. If you're willing to be a public agent, try to get it into a town hall debate. Try to provoke the news media into asking candidates for us. Let's try to get ourselves in a youtube debate, or into a town hall forum, insert somewhere where we can insinuate the idea that Scientology is A) a threat to the freedom of the United States and B) something a congressman/president ought to do something about, into the public's mind. It doesn't have to be at that high a level, put messages into political debate forums, trojan horse them by starting talking about 'religious freedom' and 'anti-religious groups', Scientology is arguably anti-religion, after all. Or you can trojan horse it as a debate about frivolous lawsuits, or harassment, any CoS tactic can be turned against them as the start of a legitimate debate where they can be brought up time and time again as examples.

The biggest defenders of Scientology outside the church defend it on the grounds of religious freedom, it's time to de-legitimize the church as a religion and re-factor their public image as a CULT, or even better, a dangerous and subversive organization.

Documentary by Wise Beard Man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPol_m8wm8Y
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW466xcM0Yk
Forward to about 7:10 in the second clip. Maybe buying his DVD's would allow someone with more experience to make a documentary. After all $$$ = change.
Perhaps ask him what his plans for a documentary would be/intended audience/how much money he would need? This would take a significant load off of us but multiply our efforts manifold.

  • Anyone wish to ask him to set up like donation box instead? He should post how much money he needs and track as donations are set in. It's not that he is not to be trusted, but I know I would donate as much as I could if it were strictly for the documentary.

Ex Scientologists

Ex-Scientologists pose the greatest threat to Scientology since they have vast amounts of personal experience some of them such as Tory Magoo were in CoS for over thirty years and some from the very start. In order to harness the people these people have in terms of knowledge, experience and vocal presence we need to find ways to approach them exscn.net is a nice site that is setup for them to discuss their experiences - maybe someone can be the "Good Will" ambassador to that site and try to get them to join the fight?

PROTIP: Most of these people were mentally, phsyically and emotionally abused over the years by Scientology, so try to not be harsh with them and try to be calm and understanding.

  • As such, we're going to need a non-ymous.

Celebrities

If we manage to get a celebrity off of Scientology, a huge part of it will leave. Convincing celebrities that Scientology is wrong should be one of our major objectives.

Also, there are already A to D lister celebrities who have already got off of Scientology, maybe gossip sites like defamer.com , Perez Hilton , hollywoodtuna etc could help out to compile their stories.

Negative Exposure

If we could produce proof of more recent illegal or otherwise morally questionable activites perpetuated by scifags or those working for them, it would create a much stronger sway in the apathetic minds of today's youth.
Namely: prove that they sent those retarded white powder envelopes to themselves.

Hearts and Minds

To make this operation effective, a lot of what Anon originally started with must be lost. Anons will have to lose their anonymity to effectively and with credibility denounce Scientology in the media or elsewhere. In addition to this, (and this is what all the naysaying hentai-fappers on 4chan hate) Anonymous will have to appear less randomly aggressive.

To be completely honest, we have started something that has quickly grown beyond all expectations. I doubt very much if anyone honestly thought that Project Chanology would grow to this extent, garner this much media attention, or ever lead to even the potential of something such as February 10th. As such, we have to adapt. And part of that adapting will be the loss of rando
