 A Global Protest Against the Church of Scientology's Suppression of Free Speech DUBLIN, Ireland — 10/05/2008 11:00 AM GMT — This Saturday, the collective known as Anonymous launch 'Operation: FairGameStop', the fourth in a series of global protests against the Church of Scientology. From 11am (local time) onwards, thousands of Anonymous will take to the streets in peaceful protest at over 100 Church of Scientology centres around the world, including the Mission of Dublin Ltd on 62/63 Middle Abbey Street. Anonymous is a grassroots collective comprised of ordinary people from all walks of life, from former Scientologists and long-time cult activists, to college students and corporate professionals, all united in recognition of the malign nature of the Church of Scientology, the danger it poses to society, and the necessity of action. Since the campaign's inception in January, over 10,000 activists from around the world have joined Anonymous' fight, and millions have been made aware of the dangers posed by the Church and its practices. This May initiative focuses specifically on "Fair Game", the Church of Scientology's official policy for handling its 'enemies'. In a 1967 policy letter, founder L. Ron Hubbard stated these enemies may be: "deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist… May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed."[1] Although the Church claims that this policy was retracted in 1968, the text of the retraction states that only the term "Fair Game" was cancelled. Scientology continues to harass, stalk, and sue its critics as well as former Church members who have left. Famous victims include American author Paulette Cooper and BBC journalist John Sweeney. Multiple governments[2] have become aware of the perverse tactics of Scientology, and are beginning to take positive steps in reducing the damage it perpetrates. Under increasing pressure from media[3], police departments[4] and the tide of public opinion, Scientology has gone on the attack. In recent weeks, Anonymous protesters have been stalked and, in the US, threatened with legal action in an attempt to dissuade them from protesting, and silence their criticism. Anonymous remain undaunted, and will continue to confront the cult and its numerous front groups wherever they pose a threat.

Jump To Comment: 1Considering the “war on terror”, COINTELPRO, attempts to regulate the internet and the current faze of internet warfare, I think people should ask themselves these three questions:
1: Why does “anonymous” choose to protest on days that other demonstrations are taking place.
2: why does “anonymous” block out other activist videos from sites like youtube, dailymotion etc. by uploading multiple pointless videos with unrelated keywords.
3: why does “anonymous” only target the church of scientology when pretty much every religion milks people of their money, has strange preaching’s and aggressive actions *cough* what happened to the druids? *cough*
