As reported in a recent indybay.org article and elsewhere:

Germany’s Department of Interior Affairs convened a 3 hour seminar on September 4th regardng Scientology. The meeting, called "This is Scientology! Reports from the USA" was held in Hamburg. Unlike the situation in the US where it has "religion" status, Scientology in Germany is considered to be a "Threat to Democracy" and ranked alongside Islamic extremism.

Cult Watch & Flash Raid Fun - Chapter 2

Alas mateys, the time is a tad bit overdue for the next installment of the Cult Watch Mini Raid Series on this here blog. I try to do these once a month but I'm pushing two months this time. Things are spontaneously combusting on so many fronts this past month it's getting harder to keep up.

However, this next segment of flash raid WINS are so deliciously rich surely they were fated to be savored abit in order to take their proper place amongst the marcabian assault tracklist of legendary landmarks in the ongoing crusade of Anonymous vs. organized scientology.

Cult Watch - Flash Raids Are Such Fun! (Chapter 2)

For Full Screen Stream of these vids, Click Here.

The YouTube Playlist featured above showcases what is dam well likely to be some of the greatest flash raids & cult watch moments of the campaign to end the cult so far! We pick up where I left off at the end of May on the last episode, and cover the following sampling of memorable occaisions after opening with an introspective look at how things are going in the bigger picture from the Toronto Citadel.

  • On of the PlymouthScientology Cult Watch raids before Stu Wyatt was unjustly persecuted by local police under the influence of scientology dead agenting practices. Fortunately though, the latest news on Stu is that his actions to press criminal charges have commenced to proceed in what looks to be a positive direction despite the oddity of his damage footage of scilon tactics being mysteriously yanked from youtube the day before he meant with the local authorities.

  • Jason Beghe joins NYC anons to personally call out Carmichael's now infamous "I Smell Puthy" fail remark.

  • Epic East Grinstead Raid with spontaneous lulz & infinite WIN compliments of OG who inpired a grand walk around the war memorial and on to Saint Hill.

  • At look at one of the many ThetanAss legendary nights on the town with socal crew, a compratriot who has gracefully bowed out of the fight in recent days due to unfortunate drama and other things and remembered here with full marcabian honors.

  • DC Anons encounter a "clear" on the street and get the poor misguided soul to admit she's not so clear after all.

  • Paying a visit to Stress Test Tent in DC the day after the 9000 Man March national event.

There is just so many special downstat moments constantly happening in major cities around the world that include the momental occaisons above as well asschalk-tastic adventures, closing down events, heckling the stress testers, bullbaiting OSA, and dancing in the steets.

Let there be no doubt that despite a few minor bumps in the road Anonymous is working hard these days! We're starving the bases from outside on the street by circumventing their daily commercial enterprise profits, as well as paving the way for unhappy members to realize freedom can be had on the outside such that the outflux of ex-members continually grows everyday.

Summer of Lulz Weekend Full of Regional Scientology Raids

July has seemingly become a non-stop trip of glorious global dancing around the scilon rabbit hole for Anonymous protesters taking a stand against the destructive cult of organized scientology. It's rather fascinating to watch from afar considering the numbers attending the global monthly protests are down, yet with the number of events and venues growing in leaps and bounds we're actually greatly expanding both the reach of our message and the amount of public support openly embracing it.

The following local and regional events all took place this weekend, primarily on Saturday, July 26, and with much success. Each of these phenomenal raids are of their own special significance and really do deserve their own separate post. However, all these bigger-than-usual efforts going on addition to the usual hot spot flash raids in places such as LA, NYC, Saint Hill and even Narconon Georgia made for alot of stuff to report on in a single day. Hopefully these short summaries will fill the void till other sites and media outlets start picking up some moar media coverage slack.

Marcab Invasion of San Diego Comic-con 2008

San Diego is home to one of the largest gatherings in the United States, known as San Diego Comic-Con. Patrons come from all over the globe to attend this four day event, and it typically boasts attendance of more than one hundred thousand people, with expected attendance in 2008 of 125,000 people or more.

Operation Marcab Invasion was Anonymous' plan to reach as many people as possible by exploiting this ingenius local venue. Regular raid activities were happening outside with the usual spreading of fliers and cards while a few anons in masks roamed around inside the convention. One moment of truly precious irony was that V masks were being sold a mere 2 booths down from the Galaxy Press booth that was promoting the scilon pulp fiction trash. Such an epic win was had in so many ways it's hard to summarize. But not to be overlooked is that plans are well underway for launching our own anon comic book to commemorate this grand occasion!

Here are a few of the highlights from this local event, plus check out the kindred references listed at the end of this post for related discussion threads.

XenuBarb Interview on StreetFreaks.tv

Operation Anonville, Sydney Australia

Anonville Sydney was a major win, great atmosphere and lots of enturbulation was had for this national gathering of aussie anon. In the days before the raid, a new chief of police tried to restrict our efforts severely based on the usual false accusations made by scientology in regards to our ongoing efforts ever being anything but peaceful protests.

Fortunately, after some negotiation things were sorted out. The truth prevailed such that the new chief of police eventually seen the light and it all went smoothly. In fact, the overall police presence was fairly light. Therefore, a special shout out of thanks goes to the crime syndicate representatives in Sydney who did us such a fantastic favor by showing the police chief their true colors! Once again, scilons do our offensive work for us by setting such a fine example for future reference that their accusations are not to be taken seriously, unless of course your looking for lulz.

Anons from various cities joined together with Sydfags and visited both the Castlereagh St org and the Glebe org. They had two epic PAs plus boomboxes, caek, thousands of fliers handed out and apparently even got a thumbs up from a Scilon looking out through the window of the org. The Scilons were up to their usual black PR fliering as shown in the following video clips. There was also a few trouble spots with non-scilons, but nothing that wasn't handled such that no significant interuption of the raid derailed their well laid plans. Additional highlights are included below with links to related discussion threads & media coverage is indexed at the end of this post.

Epic Midwest Regional Raid in Chicago, USA

Amerifags gathered in chi-town from at least six different states for extending the summer of lulz festivities in an escapade on Saturday that began in Millenium Park and then continue on downtown. The following excerpt from a raid report on Enturbulation.org sums up the day nicely.

As usual, Millenium Park protesting was win, win, and more win. Flower-giving was win. Acapella Rick Rolls while Segway'd park security facepalmed at the chalk on the walkway was win. (Even Rick Astley couldn't soften his his heart, as he was pretty grumpy about that.) "Why Can't We Be Friends" singing and Minneapolis group shouts were epic. Chicago's very own Epic Photo Guy is always win. Crazy flexible guy entertained the masses, got a ton of people to listen to our message, and contributed to a real party atmosphere.

At one point, this older gentleman with an accent came up to me while I was talking to a woman and said, "I want to help out." I asked him if he wanted to join in and hold a sign or anything like that. Nope, turns out he wanted to donate money to us! So then I explained that, unlike Scientology, we weren't really interested in his money and that the best way he could help out was just to spread the word for us.

Someone from out of town was just insanely good at playing Shout Anon, getting people's attention and handing out the trifolds. I saw him milking the crosswalk's passing group of people every 2 minutes (captive audience, lole), and it was a beautiful thing. Not sure who that was, but take a bow, good sir.

Speaking of the out-of-towners, you guys in general had a TON of energy. Seriously, you guys are hardkore with a K. It was great fun and a great honor to protest alongside you guys. When things were wrapping up at the end, one Anon said something like, "We'll always be with you guys. Not necessarily in the same place, but out -- protesting -- with you." Ain't that the truth?! (Sappy 90's sitcom fake-audience "awww" goes here.)

SAYING HELLO TO THE ORG: After time ran out for us at the park, we thought about what to do next. After a good example of why the interwebz and group train trips should never marry, it was definitely crappletime as we took a visit to the local Sci org. (Walking a few blocks towards the org from the train station, we saw a sign that said "CRAPPLETIME." Just... that, yeah. Random.) The place was deserted as usual, with the windows all papered up, and our pet Chicago Sci-Guy waiting for us outside.

Below are a few of the highlights from this regional event, plus check out the kindred references listed at the end of this post for related discussion threads and major media coverage. Additionally, Chicago Anonymous will be featured on radio airwaves to recap the event on the July 28th broadcast of The ManCow Show.

Texas Megaraid in Austin

Operation Austin MegarAIDS was an unofficial regional raid of the Church of Scientology in Austin on Saturday. The idea here was for all of Texas' Anonymous to descend upon Austin for a weekend of fun and enturbulation. Unfortunately, due to being so absorbed in the latest bout of enturb OG drama, one carload of out-of-town anons missed a crucial time-change announcement and showed up to enturbulate in the afternoon hours rather than early evening, but ultimately that just extended the win range into an all-day affair!

The real festivities got started after 5pm, and had about 13-15 demonstrators out in front of the org with Hubbard lecture blaring from an ipod with speakers when anon antics were at their peak. The scilons used their "tech" to block the front doors with a big pot with ballons coming out of it. Apparently, it was costume party night at the org. Some of their signs didn't quite block the sides so the ever diligent protesters put up Xenu.net signs to nicely fill in the gaps of their blockage wherever possible.

Reports indicate that foot traffic was awesome and fliers were handed out to many of the passerbys. But more importantly, many people stopped to ask questions and several enlightening discussions ensued for more than 20 minutes right there on the street!!!

The late night foot traffic got quite interesting as the infectious nature of anon lulz charmed many a character from the public to join in the unfolding spectacles. At one point the texfags pretended to leave and waited in a parking lot near the org for about 5-10 minutes. They snuck back to the org just as the scientology party was letting out. Once the stealth brigade was back out front, they all yelled "JUST KIDDING!!!!"

Halifax Gay Pride Parade in Nova Scotia, Canada

A local group of Canadafags originally planned a flash raid of sorts for their local pride parade. They were fully intending just to work the crowd with fliering and customary lulz infection. But when anon discovered that groups of five and under didn't need to acutally register to participate in the parade and could just jump in they all thought "WELL HELLS YEAH" and joined in the fun!

Many people recognized the local protesters and shouted "GO ANONYMOUS!", "SCIENTOLOGY SUCKS!", "TOM CRUISE SUCKS!" and whatnot. They handed out a thousand fliers (most of which were about Scientology's hatred of the LGBTs) and that number wasn't near enough to cover the whole route. From what they heard on the streets, this was the largest turnout at the Halifax Pride EVAR.

A few folks approached the small group anons who participated afterwards, and asked about the next monthly protest and location. So the local cell ultimately scored a double win with fantastic lulz shared with the crowd while securing an increase in their numbers for the next global protest on August 16th.

Sinking the Maiden Voyage in Los Vegas

This super seekrit Maiden Voyage Raid turned out so deliciously epic! Local sin-city anons gathered for a day of enturbulating the scilons (of course) and detouring as many people as possible from attending the traveling road show event on Saturday.

Spais watched the local org carefully until the last little scilon locked up and left the building. Then they loaded up the partyvan and headed the happy band of enturbulators over to the "Ideal" org and sure enough, the closely guarded intel received prior proved true there was a crowd beginning to gather! Oh Thank Xenu, and let the Maiden Raidage adventures begin!

The culties were even kind enough to call Metro police AGAIN. But what was truly hilarious, when Metro arrived, the lady cop was smiling and laughing and was so nice and friendly you couldn't help but love the cops! No doubt the $cilons were shitting bricks AND pissing their panties at this unexpected showing of the community embracing the summer of lulz! One officer asked a protester to take off their V-Mask and anon gladly did so as he/she was all too ready for this one.... Anon was also wearing a surgical mask underneath! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Both officers grinned from ear-to-ear! These wonderful cops just reminded us of the usual spiel and drove off waving to us as they left. Once things wrapped up outside the ideal org, a few Anons hit the Strip to continue passing out fliers!

Scientology Lacks Compassion for the Handicapped

This video does a fine job of capturing organized scientology's belief that only the abled bodied members of the human race matter!

Scientology's core practices are centered on "making the able more able". This mentality combined with the basic human decency principles that are completely lacking from their precious Tone Scale method of cataloging acceptable vs. unacceptable levels of normal human emotion makes for a personality type that completely lacks compassion and an undersanding of the true nature of "charity".

This is shown all to well in this video where private scilon security guards insist on baring a handicapped woman from using the sidewalk of their closed closed-down streets during an Anonymous Protest until she calls for the real police to intervene.

"BAD PEOPLE!"

Anonymous Protest & Questionable Police Behavior - Chapter 0

The ranks of the Anonymous Legion suffered a blow in these final days before the June 14th protest. Commander Stu Wyatt of the Marcabian Killdozer Fleet operating out of the Plymouth UK cell was Fair Game’d and Arrested under the false accusation of his peaceful protest activities being something other than just that- peaceful. He was later charged with separate offenses based on what the police found and confiscated from his home during the arrest. After spending the night in jail where he was treated like animal, Stu was brought court and then released.

As dire as the situation may seem, there was an interesting series of events leading up to this that proves what the anons have being seeing in general: an escalation of force and heightened level of vindictiveness in protester retaliation from the scilon brigades of organized scientology.

Due to this escalation I felt it was time to take a step back and look at all the whole history thus far of questionable police behavior and local authority manipulation toward Anonymous. The following extended playlist includes all of the noteworthy incidents of unsavory cop vs. anon moments in the past 5 months. The latest attack on Stu and the highlights leading up to it are showcased at the end of series with an additional tracklist summary of the most unsettling events listed below.

Please keep in mind these incidents are (so far) the exception to the norm - globally we've had far more positive police support and friendly coordination with anons. But it's not all good and were reaching a large enough quota of incidents this compilation of clips prove beyond any doubt the bad cop moments are not just rare occurrences any more and should hereby be deemed for what it is - corrupt cult retaliation tactics.

Protest Retaliation: Questionable Police Behavior Chapter 0

Nice Anon vs. Mean Cop Tracklist

Any events with an ongoing investigation or pending litigation are listed in bold.

  • February 10th - Boston, MA USA: The anon who filed the protest permit (Gregg Housh) was falsely accused of personally stepping foot on scilon property and eventually charged with harassment for his role in Church of Scientology demonstrations. His ongoing litigation is being unethically delayed and prolonged at great expense as per classic fair game techniques.

  • February 10th - Dekalb County Police in Atlanta, GA USA: Full riot squad called in to protect the scientology compound. The protesters were bullied and traffic passing by that honkedwere chased down and ticketed.

  • March 15th - Dekalb County Police in Atlanta, GA USA: Two protesters was randomly singled out the crowd for no apparent reason. The young man was then taken inside of the scientology building and arrested, charged with a permit violation and creating hazardous or offensive condition and releaded on bail. The charges were dropped as soon as it came before a judge.

  • May 10th - London, UK: London police served a 16 year-old GCSE school-boy known to fellow anons as "Epic Nose Guy" with a warrant for displaying a sign that read, "Scientology is not a religion, it is a dangerous cult". A few days later, however, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped all charges against the boy and gave the City of London police new guidelines for signs protesting the policies of the Church of Scientology.

  • May 10th - Orlando, FL USA: Protesters were bullied and hounded for just being there, until the police instigated enough tension to spin the situation out of control they flat out threaten the anon who stepped forward as a spokeperson. This was after the initial round of harsh verbal lashing and harrassment showered on the same anon with drive by gangsta style intimidation tactics.

  • May 10th - Manchester, UK: More inappropriate & heavy handed police behavior with an excessively large force of cops. Lisa McPherson pictures were banned and confiscated because "it might cause distress to the scientologists". Then all photographic placards were similarly confiscated. When one of the participants whose sign was taken stepped foreward as spokesperson and politely complained this was abuse, he was told if he continued his argument he would be handcuffed and arrested. Over 100 protesters where then moved away from the nearby vicinity of the org and herded into a side street and treated so harshly their morale was nearly decimated by the antagonistic brutality. One anon who was assaulted and threatened with violence by the GM police has now made a formal complaint in light of the CPS ruling on Epic Nose Guy in London. He also asked Liberty to investigate further, appointed a senior solicitor to review the matter that includes photographic evidence of sinister treatment he endured. The police and major media we recently notified and more details will be featured on this blog once things progress.

  • June 3rd - Seattle, WA USA: A protester is harassed then assaulted and has his camera smashed by a scilon during a flash raid then calls the police. The police show extreme bias to the protesters and fail to even talk to the victims who placed the call aside from chastise them for being in the wrong for recording footage on a public street amongst other things.

  • June 12th - Plymouth, UK: Stu Wyatt arrested at his home on alleged assault charges towards Sandra from the local org but was officially charged the following day with offenses arises from the search and seizure of his property.

Cult Watch & Flash Raid Fun - Chapter 1

Ahh yes, the time has come for another installment of the Cult Watch Mini Raid Series!

The large scale Anonymous protests against organized scientology that happen monthly serve three general purposes: Raising local public awareness, showing those who are still trapped inside the cult that there is a world out there that cares what is happening to them, and bringing global attention to the criminal behavior of the executive levels of the Church of Scientology that has been ignored for far too long. However, the impact of the larger protests is a tactic that pays off in the longer term rather than the short term.

Unfortunately, the need for an immediate change is far to pressing to leave it float until the once a month timeslot rolls around. Thus the era of smaller spontaneous pickets known by a variety of names (Cult Watch, Flash Raids, Mini Raids, Flyering brigades, etc.) is in full force. These impromptu forms of protest hit the cult where it hurts the most - their ability to rake in cash on a daily basis. A pyramid scheme such as organized scientology perpetrates is only as strong as the cash flow coming in at the bottom that is feeding the top. That's why these smaller picketing events have such a huge impact; they keep the unsuspecting public "in the know" and away from the stress tests, the book-a-thons, the personality tests, and all the other seemingly innocent ploys the cult has perfected for roping people in.

The following YouTube Playlist highlights some of the better mini raid moments that have occurred since Chapter 0 was compiled. The cities included in this installment cover: London, Melbourne, Montreal, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Toronto, Plymouth, Atlanta, Portland, Clearwater, Hollywood, Perth, and Brixton. Special features in this chapter highlight moar Stu, the now infamous Dutch Anon stress test, wise words from Spacko, and the laughed-out-of-court in Clearwater after-party. This is our ongoing proof, from all corners of the world, that a small unexpected group of protesters can make a big difference!!

Cult Watch - Flash Raids Are Such Fun! (Chapter 1)

The diehard Anons making a concerted effort to maintain these mini raids as a daily occurrence in the biggest cities are already seeing a difference in the reaction from both the public and the scilons. All signals indicate the weight of the pyramid is already stressing out the lower level staff such that they are quickly nearing a breaking point. Meanwhile, as a broader public awareness becomes more ubiquitous - more and more people are receptive to the Anonymous message and take the time to express interest or ask questions.

Now granted, there is downside. That downside is the neighboring businesses to the larger orgs are sometimes growing tired of the constant calamity of lulz for the greater good of mankind. And to those business owners, we offer both our respect and our sympathy, and if you're not a jerk about it - then we're sorry to inform you that all of our ongoing efforts need to continue until the job is done. If you still doubt the usefulness of our actions, consider the ever growing number of victim testimonies and ex-scientologist horror stories; then ask yourself if you would feel any different if a member of your family or one of your closest friends had a similar story.

Thus if the local businesses that are growing peeved at the ongoing escapades can at least understand the gist of why we protest, you will surely realize all you need to do is approach your local protesters with a level head to voice your concerns regarding any negative impact to your own livelihood. The Anons will be more than happy to discuss what they can do or change to coexist on your streets in fashion that doesn't do harm to anyone other than cult we are targeting. The solution may likely be a compromise on both sides, but a compromise that brings more support to our cause ultimately aides the greater good we aim to achieve. We don't expect everyone to take our side, all we ask is that you open your mind and become informed so that you can appreciate the risks we are taking to continue our peaceful protests rather than judge our actions based on "potential" impact to your wallet alone.

And for those who still cannot appreciated the greater good these adventures are geared towards, well then maybe you can at least appreciate that your city is not alone - the fight rages on, and even if it's not your battle you still have the choice to either acquiesce to the old standby reasoning of "if you can't beat them - join them" or just learn to ignore us cuz anon doesnt go away any time soon.

In Memory of Shawn Londsdale - The Founding Father of Cult Watch Raids

As the Anonymous protesters prepare for their fourth epic picket on May 10th that focuses on the long standing fair game practices that the Church of Scientology hides behind, it's only fitting we take a step back and reflect on a true hero of the cause - Shawn Lonsdale.

Shawn was a videographer and prominent critic of the Co$ who is now hailed as the undeniable poster child representing the true meaning of a 'one man crusade'. He took a bold and relentless stand, albeit a short-lived one, in the scilon mecca of Clearwater, FL beginning in mid 2006. Lonsdale had originally set out to film a documentary on homeless people, but in my own personal opinion, a divine fate stepped in and changed the course of his life. After a chance encounter at a City Council meeting, Shawn began researching the vast amount of online material made available by other critics and ex-members who had been persecuted by the cult's fair game policy for decades. Just like with the hordes of new-anons who are becoming aware of the facts, the crimes, and the suppression of human rights - Shawn became both outraged and inspired to do something about it. He began filming footage of Scientologists going about activities in Clearwater, established a web site, and aired edited footage on a local public access cable TV station.

As to be expected, the cult began trying to silence Shawn with their fair game practices, their terroristic attack methods, and the usual criminal acts their so widely known for. But Shawn didn't give up until the last months of his life. For more than a year he persevered the typical onslaught of private investigators stalking him, bogus litigation and the neighborhood flyer brigades spreading the usual hateful and malicious libel that distorted some questionable aspects of his past. He did indeed have a questionable past, but unlike the organization he was fighting that has an even more despicable past - he never lied about it, denied it, nor tried to hide his past. However, in the bigger scheme of all things wrong in this world; many rebelious rich kids get into a whole lot more trouble than Shawn ever did from the usual college campus shenanigans, yet still go on to lead long productive lives. Therefore, this was just another tragic example in the endless string of evil acts now spanning decades that proves the Co$ spares no expense when it comes to harming people who pose a threat to their revenue stream.

Needless to say, Shawn Lonsdale's fearless in-your-face campaign made him public enemy number one for the church. He was featured in an investigative report by John Sweeney of the BBC Panorama series in what is now known as the most infamous failure of the C0$ to hide their no-holds barred fair game policy. A policy that aims to destroy all who stand in the way of their scam to "clear the planet" and take control of the world by any means possible. Shawn was found dead in his home at the age of 39 in what was officially ruled as a suicide on May 8th, 2008. The date of his death was determined to have been three days prior to when he was found, February 16th, 2008. A mere six days after the first Anonymous protest. He had seemingly abandoned his quest to make the truth about this dangerous cult become widely known in his final days. The fair game campaign to destroy his life for speaking out against the many wrongs of the Co$ can be presumed (by the uninformed) to have possibly gotten the best of him. It is unknown by this humble Archivist whether or not he had even heard of the Anon uprising, but nonetheless we embrace his memory and recognize him as the one who initially laid down the path the chanology chapter of anons now follow.

Yes, the Tom Cruise leaked video ignited the fire that sparked the war. However, the death of Shawn Lonsdale and the history of the relentless fair game attacks against him and all the other outspoken critics such as Gerry Armstrong, Arnie Lerma, and many more now serves as an unending source of fuel that keeps that fire not only burning but growing larger and stronger every day. Meanwhile, the cult faithfully stays true to form with seeking the usual malignant vengence against the thousands of people stepping forward to take Shawn's place to continue on in his enlightened footsteps and in an ongoing testament to his most honorable actions. Except that this time around, there is too many of us to stop and too many ex-scientologists willing to speak out about how they've been fair gamed in the past, to ever let this new found global awareness fade into the past.

We know all too well that there is no deed or action being too low, too vile, or too evil when it comes to this so-called church enforcing it's fair game policy to silence the anti-scientology advocates. However, unlike Shawn - we do not stand alone. Our voices are not being silenced. Our message is not being isolated and eliminated. And even though we have no one single leader guiding our efforts, we do have our own psuedo-messiah that keeps our faith strong and keeps those seeking more than the glory of lulz on the path to rightousness. A messiah in name alone who leads us in spirit and remembrance known as Shawn Lonsdale and the undeniable truth of our real intentions lies in this unfailing source of inspiration left behind in the wake of his tragic death. We Will Nevar Forget! And many of us (not all) do not believe his death was suicide, but rather that it was murder plain and simple. Whether done in by the actual hands of the scientology goon squad as many believe, or otherwise, doesn't really matter... the cause of death is clear and simple: Fair Game Policy at its absolute worst.

Shawn Londsdale - The Founding Father of Cult Watch

When evil prevails good men pay the price to stop it.

Shawn may no longer be around in a physical sense and his website at scienotimes.com is gone. But his death was not in vain. His decency and morals led him to research the facts and investigate the issues, which in turned inspired him to act despite having no direct personal issue at stake. Anonymous inadvertently did likewise for a completely different reason, but found the same inspiration he did and continues to encourage others to do the same. Shawn brandished a camera and the internet as his weapons of choice. As of this date, a simple YouTube search for anonymous + scientology yields 14,300 videos publicly available and the growing list of websites indexed on the sidebar of this blog extends that small sliver of digital reality even further.

Shawn's most notorious technique was to stand across from the Clearwater center every day, weapons in hand, and a sandwich sign at his side that read "Cult Watch * Now Filming *". Random acts of anon now occur everyday around the world in the form of cult watches, flash raids, mini raids, and chalk raids in this same spirit utilized by the Legendary Master Mr. Lonsdale sir himself.

Lonsdale also assisted in the effort started by others before him to bring forth the secret documents of the church in order to expose their corrupt policies for all to see. Meanwhile, the Project Chanology Leaked Dox effort championed by Anonymous has a page count in the thousands.

So yes, the anons were deprived of embracing Shawn's past deeds of greatness IRL. We were denied the opportunity to shake his hand and congratulate him on his few but well placed solo wins. But we have absorbed the wisdom of his past acts into the hivemind, and we will continue on with his fight even though he was disallowed to see the big difference he truly made. So let there be no doubt Shawn is still with us in spirit and will forever hold an esteemed place in our ranks.

Where there once stood a lone warrior in a single place, now stands over 9,000 people encompassing the globe. A legion of activists who have all sworn to never forgive and never forget. You live on with us Shawn, and we will finish what you started so help us God.

Cult Watch & Flash Raid Fun - Chapter 0

Yes - most of the world now knows about the monthly epic protests happening around the world when the Anonymous collective coagulates from its lucid state to rise up and rock the world in a united stand against the injustice of the cult practices of the Church of Scientology. However, that's not the only time the anon marcabian foot patrols hit the street to protest. There's also a growing enigma of "cult watch" mini raids or flash raids happening at haphazard junctures across the globe.

These random acts of greatness are yet another fascinating facet of the Anon phenomenon where we raise both public awareness and put the squeeze on local org revenue. Mini raid operations initially started before the first big protest on February 10 as recon missions, to gather intel on how best to proceed.
