Anonymous Picketing Scrapbook Entry 001.004:
The Road To April 12, 2008 was supposed to be the last lengthy video Pelividar would make detailing the story of Anonymous and Scientology, but the issue of Fair Game, and in particular, the currentlitigation against Gregg Housh in Boston inspired him to put out one more. So here's a look back at the last worlwide Anonymous Protest against organized scientology in May 2008.

Road To May 10th from Church0fScientology on Vimeo.
Operation Fair Game Stop, for the most part, was yet another stellar success. The Anons suffered a few minor indignities with a police hassle or two, a few of the usual hot-air cease and desist letters, and unexpected scaffolding. The legal wrangling tales will be covered in later entries as more details unwrap. And the scaffolding in Hollywood brought so much more attention as well as comfy shade the lulz there were priceless.
All toll - very good raid - well done Anonymous! The following short couple of clips sums up the conclusion of this operation as well as delivering the official response to all the latest intel. Click on a the title link for full transcript of said response.

In the final days before the Anonymous Protest on May 10th, Marc Bunker and Tory Magoo plus others offered a few words of inspiration included in the YouTube Playlist below. Forward March Troops, yet another day of epic win is on the horizon after a monumental week of major cracks opening up in Church of Scientology facade on multiple levels!!
May 10th Operation Fair Game Stop is HERE
KINDRED BACK MATTER
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.

Yesterday morning, the Anon protesters and critics were treated to an enormous gift. Woohoo Major Media is finally beginning notice!!! CNN's John Roberts interviewed Scientologist Chief PR goon Tommy Davis and discussed the ongoing Anonymous Protests as well as their ubiquitous Disconnection practices we protested against last month. Tommy did a wonderful little tap dance all around the esteemed early morning anchorman's well prepared line of questioning while shooting himself with a goodly number of footbullets in between his many lies. This was prefaced by an additional report by Kareen Wynter specifically discussing the ongoing protests.
Thank you very much Mr. Roberts and Ms. Wynter for having the courage to ask the tough questions, you both did a damn fine job on this and have become honorary members of Anonymous' hall of fame & great respect. Plus, let's not forget proper recognition for the CNN brass allowing this to be aired - we know all to well how malicously the press has been persecuted by Scientology for the least little thing. So your 1o0 free internets and cake is on its way!! This is exactly what the US Anons needed to catch up with the euro anons who are way ahead on the media coverage front. We couldn't have asked for better exposure with one more day to go until the next worldwide protest against Scientology's Fair Game Policies.
The following short little YouTube Playlist covers the latest news on this next operational front scheduled for Saturday. Here's hoping the CNN interview on the American Morning show was only the start of what is yet to come from media coverage of this weekend's protest. The tides are turning. times are changing, and a catalyst is sure to come before this year is done. My prediction - Time Magazine nominates Anonymous as man of the year and it's all down hill from there for the Co$ tyranny that has reigned unchecked for far too long.
May 10th Operation Fair Game Stop
KINDRED BACK MATTER
The Project Chanalogy segment of the internet group known as Anonymous are primed and ready-to-go for the next worlwide protest against the Church of Scientology. This month's rally will be focused on raising public awareness of scientology's well honed harrasment tactics of the LRH policy formerly known as "Fair Game". A vindictive policy the cult has employed for decades to terrorize their critics and sabotage the defectors who manage to escape with little more than the clothes on their back and then decide to speak out about the inhuman abuses they endured.
If you are supportive of our cause, please join us on May 10th round about mid-day. A list of regional locations is indexed in the table at the end of this post for finding a local Co$ org in your area where active protesters are planning on gathering.
If you are against the Anonymous protests and feel that our campaign is wrong; then we suggest you use the intellectual side of your brain to research the issues behind why we protest, investigate the facts, and review a few of the ex-member testimonies of the horrors they endured first hand. Then maybe you will realize the only rational thing to do is come Join Us and help make the world a safer place for our children.

Want to play a game, Scientology?
Perhaps a little Battletoads is just what you need!
The following Anonymous press release is brought to you compliments of the ongoing outstanding efforts of the media promotion task force & oh so diligent composition squads from Enturbulate.org.
Anonymous Continues Activism Against Scientology with ‘Operation: FairGameSTOP’
The group of Internet based activists, collectively known as Anonymous have continued their global awareness campaign against the Church of Scientology with their fourth rally in as many months. The worldwide rally for this month will be held on May 10th and is dubbed ‘Operation: FairGameSTOP’, which is designed to draw attention to the highly litigious nature of Scientology and their constant harassment of their detractors.
Under increasing pressure from national and international media, foreign governments and the tide of public opinion, Scientology has gone on the attack, by launching spurious litigation against former Scientologists and individual members of Anonymous in the United States. Multiple governments globally have become aware of the perverse tactics of Scientology, and are beginning to take positive steps in reducing the damage perpetrated by this cult.
The fight against Scientology has taken a tragic turn in the past month with the sad passing of Kaja Bordevich Ballo at the young age of 20. Kaja, the daughter of Norwegian MP Olav Gunnar Bello, was studying at a University in Nice when she decided to undertake a ‘Free Personality Test’ run by Scientology. On receiving the results of the test, which is specifically rigged to give a poor result, Kaja returned to her dorm and threw herself from the window. "I believe Kaja would have been alive today if she had not gone to the Scientologists," says friend and fellow student Henrik Møinichen, age 19.
The first rally, affectionately dubbed as ‘Raids’, held on February 10th, attracted hundreds of people from all walks of life showing up in cities everywhere with 8,000 protesters speaking out globally. The second Raid on March the 15th showed their numbers were growing, with over 9,000 participants globally. These numbers likewise continued to swell with the protest on April 12th and the world is finally beginning to take notice. The current wave of activism is expected to gain even more members as more become aware of the Church of Scientology's policies through the dedicated efforts of the protesters to inform the public.
What is Operation:FairGameSTOP?
The purpose of Operation:FairgameSTOP otherwise known as ‘Battletoads Earth’, is to draw attention to the harassment that Scientology launches against critics. These attacks are many, including frivolous lawsuits, smear campaigns propagated by the church to silence critics and several suspect deaths. In one case, 9 members of the Church of Scientology, including Hubbard's wife, were charged and imprisoned over the events concerning "Operation Freakout", an attempt by Scientology to silence investigative journalist and Scientologist critic, Paulette Cooper. The Church's members were indicted and imprisoned on charges of theft, burglary, conspiracy and other crimes.

Dear sirs;
The encoded affirmation of my previous progress report submitted to intragalactic operation headquarters is hereby acknowledged. The questions posed for clarifcation are covered in the attached media enclosure communique as per standard long distance stealth ops procedures.
All fronts of attacks are coming together cohesively and as the recent station commanders stats indicate - the anon collective is most definitely upstat in comparison to preliminary quarterly projections.
There is one major area of concern that requires critical attention; the charges against the anon being legally persectured in the proceedings in Boston Municipal Court against Gregg Housh. Similar Fair Game attacks on other factions of Anonymous protesters elsewhere by the Cult of Scientology have been executed to a state of MORE FAIL by the suit wearing demons known as Latham and Watkins.
But not so with poor Gregg in Boston who is the current Co$ target of their ongoing billion-dollar annual budget for never-ending litigation attacks against any threat whatsoever to their corrupt power base. The collective is currently rallying resources, gathering documentation and mustering appropriate response teams in this matter, but the outlook is still questionable at this point in time. If by chance you can aide in garnering assistance of the ACLU or other higher authorities on Gregg's behalf, it is our recommendation this above all should be the upmost priority since the fear of the Co$ History of Judge Tampering is a rather uncomfortable thought for us all and we really do have bigger & better priorities to worry about right now.

The next worldwide protest is just around the bend on May 10th when Operation FairGameStop rocks the world and the minions are growing restless. Sporadic mini raids at an increasing frequency seem to temporarily scratch the itch nicely but we are so looking forward to being heard once again on the 10th!

Leader Dude Now Well Known
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. But now they've become a force to reckon with and you just gotta luv it!! The following YouTube Playlist highlights some of the best win flash raid moments from anons everywhere. Keep up the great work all!
Cult Watch - Flash Raids Are Such Fun!
An Anon Salute goes out to stuwyatt of the UK Plymouth troops, Station Commander of the Marcabian Killdozer Fleet. Half man, half machine, all WIN. It's been said before by those more battled-scarred than this humble archivist but deserves to be recorded in the official chronicles for posterity:

KINDRED BACK MATTER
Why Do We Protest? Oh lordy, let me try and count the many-many ways. Psssffft.... there's too many to freaking count because the global corruption and prevailing evil of the Church of Scientology is just too vast. However, this is important so JohnQPublic who has happened upon this blog by chance - if you only take the time look at one thing in this guide - please let it be the following collection of video clips. These issues that the Anonymous Network has rallied behind are ultimately, all that truly matters here.
Thus we proudly present the following YouTube Playlist that summarizes all the important points quite nicely. As always, we invite you to investigate these issues further when you have the time and decide for yourself.

Click the title link above the player to read a transcript of these clips. Use the buttons and side-arrows on the player to navigate past stuff you've already seen.
The gist of it is [ tl;dr ]: Scientology Lies, Scientology Kills, and most importantly - Scientology Must Be Stopped!
Pay Attention all you Elected Legislators and Appointed Government Officials. Our ALAS Campaign is currently in its infancy and the days of you being able to ignore the perversion of this cult yet remain in a public office whilst having the luxury of being safely unaware are coming to a close. Our Public Awareness Campaign will be a force to be reckoned with by this time next year. Therefore, we strongly urge you to take careful notice of the burgeoning flood of letters pouring into your comfort zone. At this point in time we are only reaching out and asking for your help. There is so much more yet to come.
So Know This: We are also watching and investigating YOU Mr. & Ms. Politician! We are rapidly gathering data and resources, while establishing a network of allies in the press and media. Once we milk our first major front of assault for all its worth with the epic win public protests; congress - parliament - legislatures all around the world will be our second major assault. If you refuse to take action when called upon, or if you look the other way instead of taking a stand for justice... we guarantee you the faction of the Anonymous hivemind in your local jurisdiction will unite, rise up & rectify the matter right-quick by denying you the support and respect of your constituents come next Election Day. Stop letting the power of the cult of scientology undermine your authority. Band together like we did and strike back on multiple fronts simultaneously. Do your job to protect us from these crimes or else we will take your job away from you with much lulz. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. You cannot hide from these issues any longer. Your only two choices are to A) Come with Us, or B) Fall by the wayside and enjoy an early retirement. Which one is it gonna be?

Dear sirs,
I have reported for duty as assigned, made my presence known to the hive core and effectively christened Marcab Confederacy Outpost #79,164 in conjunction with all standard policies and procedures.
The current state of affairs with the occupying Thetan forces seem to be an affirmation of all recent space command reports, nothing unexpected found as of star date 016.3211.
I've established contact as well as securing and interconnecting multiple communication channels throughout The Hive and several other auxiliary stations as per my instructions. All currently activated posts are online and functioning at 110%. The most recent Communique for Station Chiefs is relayed below as evidence of this. I've also ensured our earthly garden of inspiration is in good order and planted several seeds to aid in the Anons evolving consciousness. On these accounts, my mission so far has been successfully accomplished.
I have set about instigating some vigorous data collection programs with many facets to be added to online status in the near future. These will no doubt ensure that our ubiquitious affront on the enemy's senses will increase tenfold in the coming months just as you predicted.
I regretfully submit that my first quarterly report for the current year will be delayed a few weeks. My late commission to this post has left me several months of critical backlog that needs indexed for several past & upcoming operations in Project Chanology to further mass public consumption asap. Once said backlog is sufficiently reduced, i will submit my quarterly rolls for your review.
The Earth-bound Anons send lots of hugs and cake.
Respectfully Yours,
