Here is a list of Scientology holidays. Ideal days to protest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology_holidays
Indeed. June 6th is when they get together and figure out how to screw their members better. This is why June 6th was chosen for the protest in Salt Lake City. Perhaps we could do a tandem protest? I'm part of a coalition overseeing SLC. If you'd like to lead the charge in LA, that would be awesome. This has potential to snowball.
I would LOVE to.. With the proper guidance (as I have never done this before) I think we could do great things! Fantastic..
hey count me in, im actually trying to get something going at gold base in may, is there a date for los angeles..
June 6th looks like the official date.. I will be doing my due diligence as we spread the word so the impact will hopefully be noteworthy. More to come Anons.
Most Likely Hollywood.. so many lovely establishments to choose from! To be determined but I am thinking this would be the general area.
Perhaps https://maps.google.com/maps?safe=a...91&ei=TKx_UaScIYKNqgGKnoHgBg&ved=0CKUBEPwSMAA would be a good place for you guys? There is a park near by. Excellent for meeting up.
It's up to you guys, but you could stage the protest on Hubbard avenue. If I were there, I'd make up a sign that says SUCKS and hold it up to the street sign covering up the avenue part and have my friends take a picture.
Uh, this should be interesting. Please bring cameras and post many pics for us to see how this goes - along with dated material - e.g., a newspaper - to prove the date of the raid. I'm a little dubious about the two accounts organizing these raids, for obvious reasons - post count, member since... Anyway, I hope things go well, and these guise are legit.
fountain ave or sunset look like good spots, sunset blvd should be busy on a friday easy way for the public to see what were doing.
well i talked to tory the other day and she thinks something might happen during the weekend of the anniversary Dianetics. but for now waiting for more info.
I would say the Reno, Nevada Anonymous collective sends it's regards, but im the only one i know so good luck.
If you'd like to join us, we'd love to have you. Even if you and a few friends are the only people raiding, we count that as a victory. We can also help you plan and coordinate wherever you live if you'd like to join?

We encourage fellow Anons to write an anonymous personal letter of protest and mail said letter. Rude, threatening, or demeaning letters are heavily discouraged and do not further the cause. Intelligent dialogue does. Address letters to: Church of Scientology 1308 L Ron Hubbard Way Los Angeles, CA 90029 =========================================================== LETTER FROM OPS COORDINATOR AKA "TeamLeader" TO OPERATIVES: To Whom It May Concern, Greetings citizens of the internets. I write this today to inform the reader of a concerning issue. The Los Angeles Scientology branches are growing, inducting more and more members into their cult. In doing so, they are devastating families, ruining lives, and rending souls with their corruption, ideology, physical abuse, brainwashing, and greed. We the united Anon people of Los Angeles California do not accept this, and we will not stand idle while they continue to bring ruin to families, hearts, souls, and minds. I extend to you a formal invitation to join us at operation EarthQuake Weather on July the 7th and/or to help flood the Los Angeles Complex with letters of protest condemning them for various human rights abuses. Spread and share this message with any that are sympathetic to the cause! Whether we number 5 people or 500, we shall be heard. Join us! If you are part of an anon group in the area, plan on attending, or would like to join the Leadership Coalition to help plan this and future events, we welcome you to send an e-mail to Opearthquakeweather@yahoo.com Or start trending this event on Twitter @OPQuakeWeather or by sending a PM right here in this thread. Bring friends! Sincerely, ~TeamLeader P.S. Yes. There will be free cookies and soda. Surely you don't want to miss free cookies and soda, do you? =========================================================== >MISSION STATEMENT: For too long Scientology has gone without opposition in Los Angeles. This has now ended. We will help free the minds and hearts of your members, and expose your corruption. Even if we prevent one soul from being oppressed, we will have won. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. EXPECT US. >MOTTO: "De oppresso liber!" (To liberate the oppressed)
Hi Team Leader. Count me in. Can you give me some ideas of what signs might be considered rude or offensive. I'm working on a couple now. I really like the "Scientologist = Lying Liars that Lie" and "UFO CULT" plus a few "XENU XENU XENU" type ones. I hope to have half a dozen or so ready in time.
There are a few problems with this time, but I hope it works. I will probably try to attend if I am free. Problems include: Friday night, so people often have other plans It's a weekday There's only about an hour of daylight left from the start time you've selected. Anons often arrive late. Some problems with this also. I'm fairly certain they'll have you arrested for trespassing if you try to enter their premises. Your letters will not be read - the people you try to hand them to will probably be punished if they accept any pieces of paper from you. Good luck attracting any media coverage on a Friday night with an hour of daylight left. Good ideas except for trying to approach the Front Desk with letters of protest. See above. Rude and unnecessarily demeaning behavior toward Scientology = the lulz We usually heavily ENcourage the lulz around here. At a protest, that definitely includes rude and demeaning language about Scientology and Scientologists on signs. Sometimes, rude and demeaning language is also directed verbally at their security and their bull-baiters, when it's well-deserved and/or lulzy. At Anon protests, you regularly see words like Liars, Lies, Scam, Cult, Cultie, Fraud, Fail (A Shitheap of), Evil, Criminal, the F-bomb, and similar rude, demeaning terms on signs. Probably a huge waste of postage, time and paper. Such letters will be discarded, mostly unread, upon receipt. This is false. My understanding is that services have been consolidated at PAC, Day, and CC, because so many missions/orgs have closed. This is the reason why the parking lot is always full at PAC now, whereas it was always only half full in the first decade of the 2000's. Food is always an excellent bribe. You will be expected to deliver on this promise, of course
Ok I was literally uses the Utah Doc as an outline.. my bad. We can change the time but the date has been decided so we are in sync with other Anons the same day. The outline seemed conservative by L.A. standards I agree but this is my first Team Leading experience so I'm learning! Would any of you more experienced Anons like to revise this content so it's more accurate? I will bring refreshments as promised.
Re: "sync with other Anons," What other Anons do you speak of? One guy in Utah? Two guys in Utah? SomeMormonGuy claims that protests in Clearwater, FL, and in Australia are "solidifying," but I haven't seen any kind of evidence of that. He didn't even bother linking any threads evidencing those protests. So far all I see is LA and Utah. LA has more people than Utah anyway - both protesters and Scientologists, both of whose groups tend to have more time on weekends. There is definitely more traffic and a fuller parking lot on Saturdays and Sundays - when the public Scientologists have more time to take their classes and auditing. You may achieve much more by changing the date than you think, and you may lose a lot more by coordinating dates with 1 guy in Utah than you know.
Your Hot Scientology Happening in Los Angeles Tonight | The Underground Bunker ...there’s a great little event happening tonight in Los Angeles! If you can attend, we’d love a report. Freewinds ambassador Gavin Potter is putting on yet another seminar tonight, this time at the American Saint Hill Organization at the Big Blue complex in Los Angeles. We have to think this is going to be a special event, with Gavin explaining how to improve both your financial prosperity and your love life (“The 2D”). That’s Scientology, making sure you get rich and laid! Perhaps someone in our comments can tell us what a Potter seminar is actually like.

Just so people know, the corresponding event is here: https://whyweprotest.net/community/...los-angeles-anons-unite-june-8th-2013.111176/ I'd say sign up. I like the idea!
Here's a few other recommendations that newbie leaderfag overlooked: Sunscreen, water, straws for drinking water without removing mask, flyers (seriously, you don't have FLYERS on your list). Clearly you've never stood around in LA in the afternoon sun in June, let alone while dancing, shouting, and being energetic. You're going to sweat and get toasted. You need sunscreen and water. Do I need to go repost all the heat exhaustion stuff from 2008?? Lessons learned, dumbass. Signs- Put a URL on every sign. Xenu.net is great because short and easy to remember. Same thing with flyers, which can have longer URLS. If there's no URL you're hindering your effort. We are not the fucking Special Forces. We are Anonymous. Our motto is "Never Forgive. Never Forget. Expect Us."
Nice to see that there is something going on in California... but though there are scientology protests, are there any universal healthcare/economic equality protests going on? Even if it is a protest for the poor (or human right's equality) in some way, I could join as a universal healthcare person
