10th Feb

Who's excited? I am.

Why's that.

Heck yes.

Project Chanology will prevail!!

... even though I'm not going to be a part of it. I'm just going to laugh my butt off when I see something about it on the news.

Brawl got delayed. Didn't you hear?

Scientology will surely crumble once its black ink reserves run dry!

You going X? I'm picking up a V mask tomorrow

Uhh... Where exactly are you going?

London. :3

To stand outside the Scientology building and protest? lol, no

Wuss.

Someone tell me what the hells going on.

Nerds are going to do peaceful protests outside known Scientology buildings.

Reputation of Anonymous. haha

Yeh, well thats what your mama said!

Oh god...

The 10th of February is a Sunday, too. Won't most Scientologists, or even just members of the public, be at home?

No. Because it's Sunday. People do stuff on Sunday.

LA here I come!

No thanks. Though I like reading about this stuff. Didn't really know quite how sinister Scientologists really were.

See, unlike a lot of people who enjoy reading about it and supporting the cause with lip service and such and such, I have, for the longest time, actually hated Scientology with a passion I rarely have about things, and I was not only overjoyed to find out that someone's finally trying to do something about them, but I'm also going to make a note to do everything I personally can to help.

I'm sure I'd be the only there if I went, lol. Detroit has bigger problems than a cult.

They don't affect me to any degree, so I honestly don't care what they do. I just like to hear about their exploits, much like how I read up on the election from time to time, but it doesn't actually affect me any way.

I checked to see if any were happening near here(Seattle isn't near enough), mostly because I'm a lonely kid. Scientology is one of the few things I can see myself protesting against.

[quote=The X]Nerds are going to do peaceful protests outside known Scientology buildings.
Seeing as it's a worthwhile cause, I don't see why they should be looked down upon any more than any other group who has protested. I'm not even sure if they're more likely to make fools of themselves than any other group.

not sure if want to go. Though I have a feeling the one in Hollywood is going to be pretty epic.

So....anon is going to peacefully oppose Scientology on the 10th?

Yeah sorta.

Until Scientologists start sacrificing infants, I'm going to take this whole campaign as a desperate attempt for attention and intimidation. Anon is just as much of a joke and whatever silly code of conduct or organized protest they come up with is equally fail. They don't have any power until the mass media is dumb enough to give them some.

Local news counts as mass media? Unless CNN has their heads up their asses, they shouldn't have trouble recognizing anon as amateur, powerless, and attention-deprived.

Edit: The difference between them and other protesters is that even they are uneffected. No one's being oppressed or discriminated against. It's simply an unwarranted crusade over something they dislike.

It's like me starting a campaign against Trading Spouses. No one's being treated unfairly, no one's being hurt, and regardless of how organized I could be, I have no leg to stand on when it comes to logical reasons to protest it.

I hate the news...

Oh, and maybe I'm just uninformed, but is there an actual reason to protest Scientology other than because of its douchebag members?

Yes.

Such as?

I find it kinda ironic that 4chan would organize a protest against something that would be deemed cult-like. I don't support Scientology (in fact, I despise it), but to have such an asinine group of people organize a riot against you is nothing short of degrading. That may very well be a victory in itself. All I can say is I hope they get teargassed back to their lonely computer monitors where they belong.

[quote=Iris]Oh, and maybe I'm just uninformed, but is there an actual reason to protest Scientology other than because of its douchebag members?
Well, without members, there is no organization, so I suppose technically speaking, no. However, I for one believe that people shouldn't have to spend their money to be a member of a faith or be taught a religion, nor do I feel that this cult has any right to confiscate any information they deem unsuitable for the public, such as when people speak out against it. Especially not in this country, where we actually have an amendment protecting our freedom to do so. I'm in no position to judge the merit of their religion or what they believe in, but I loathe the way they run their church.

[quote=Linkman]All I can say is I hope they get teargassed back to their lonely computer monitors where they belong.
Well, f[COLOR="black"]u[/COLOR]ck you too then, I guess. I'll make sure when I'm there to get a big wiff of the stuff so I can say that you were right. Also, I guess you think I'm a worthless scum for going to 4chan on a regular basis? What about for disliking Scientology? It's nice to know that you're so quick to lump everyone into a broad category when you know so little about it. You're just as f[COLOR="black"]u[/COLOR]cking bad as the people you're putting down, you a[COLOR="black"]ssh[/COLOR]ole.

And to any who think I'm just running with some sort of joke, I'm being dead serious. I may not have much power to influence something, but it's a chance to actually excercise my rights afforded to me by this "glorious" country, and to actually do something I feel strongly about, and G[COLOR="black"]o[/COLOR]d knows that doesn't come nearly often enough. Protesting this is no different than protesting for equal treatment amongst races or women's rights. Futile as it may be, I'm going with the intent to make the horrible, tyrannous workings of the CoS known to the public, and hope that, for the better of all, something gets done.

So if you don't like my conviction and think I'm just another backwater retard scum of the earth like you consider all of 4chan to be, then I have two words for you:

1. F[COLOR="black"]u[/COLOR]ck
2. You

Haha, oh wow. I'm seriously confused as to whether or not half of the people here are just trolling.

I'm not.

Tear gas is really painful, Judge. I'm serious.

Here's hoping the police don't see reason to gas a non-violent protest group!

They did it with black people... Plus, it would be naive to think some Anons won't turn up drunk and pick fights.

Bought my V for Vendetta mask today with 2 pals.

Initally Forbidden Planet said they might be out of stock because they've been selling loads. I asked "Is that because of Sunday?". They assured me it was. They were also joking about how they should sponsor these events because up till recently they were trying to sell these masks.

Pics, or it didn't happen. I honestly can't see it being that successful.

Google Project Chanology

Without doubt the biggest raid 4chan has ever done. Drinking and violence is not to be used as stated in the rules of this protest.

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v421/Roger_Smith0/Motivation/scientology.jpg[/IMG]

I did a lot of research on this Scientology stuff today. I thought I knew what it was, but I didn't really know much at all apparently. Basically, I knew they were nuts, but I didn't know they were as ****ing dangerous as they really are.

I take back my first post. Anon, kick their ***...with teargas.

Judge and Bebop need to take pictures. I want to see Derek looking super cool in his trenchcoat and trilby.

... You are wearing one, right?

I wonder if it's legal to wear a balaclava... I'd dress up like the SAS in CoD4.

Judge should dress up in an alien costume.

The Judge, more like The Xenu

[quote=Vampiro V. Empire;814974]I wonder if it's legal to wear a balaclava... I'd dress up like the SAS in CoD4.
Or rather, grow a handlebar mustache with massive sideburns and pick up a London accent. Would be pretty good at obscuring your identity.

I think this would be better personally:
[IMG]http://a383.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/48/l_839c1c62d4c1db9bc17a01e9a33ec546.jpg[/IMG]

Not a soul would suspect a clown to be at such an event.

look at those eyes. truly terrifying.

It's just that everyone else will be filming the same thing as me. Bit pointless to have loads of people filming the exact same thing. Meh maybe. We need a good sign slogan. We were thinking "Xenu don't know about my Thetan" but members of the public wont get it.

You can have a few signs directed at the public and a few others meant specifically for the Church, to anger them. As for the filming thing, who knows, maybe a lot of people will think the exact same way as you. I'd bring it along if it's small enough to keep in a pocket or something and bring it out if you need to.

I'd probably go, but I doubt there are any near where I live.

I just looked for Scientology churches in Scotland, and the only place they have is a sort of rented office place within a block in the capital. Even if I wanted to protest, we'd essentially have to protest in the lobby of a generic office building, haha.

Contrary to popular belief, Scientology IS in fact a dangerous organization. It may seem laughable on the outside, but it has destroyed many families, and claimed individual's lives.

Here is a list of people who have had their human rights abused by Scientology.
[SIZE="1"]http://www.factnet.org/Scientology/dianetics_abuse.html[/SIZE]

more on the Lisa Mcpherson case, which further supports the fact that Scientology has ruined lives.
http://www.whyaretheydead.net/room174.html

While I passionately agree with you, I think the majority of the Anons' primary reason for doing this is because they thought it was funny. Not to imply that there isn't any other cause behind this.

If there was a Scientology church nearby, I'd so join.

Most people may be doing it for kicks, but only 4channers know that.

Yeah, after reading that, I would definitely promote a protest against them, but I don't see more than 10% of anon actually caring about this and doing it for a real cause.

Hopefully the public can't tell the difference. It just needs to function like any other protest, and it'll be as good as it could be.

Right, thanks for taking the time to read that post.

I do understand that anon is just doing it "for the lulz" but I also just wanted to point out why I do believe that the protesting of Scientology has validity in that it is a harmful cult. Also, Xenos, if you ever plan on joining the church, I would make sure that you have a heavy pocket before you go messing with them otherwise you might find yourself in a legal battle. It's happened many times with people just trying to find out more information about Scientology.

Fact of the matter is, Scientology is not a religion at all. I don't really consider it a religion because it was made in the last 60 years by a Science Fiction writer, of all people. Even L. Ron Hubbard himself said that he created it as a way to make easy money when he asked his friend what would be a good way to make money. His friend replied with, "create a religion".

This is just 4chans way of doing the most epic raid ever without getting in trouble with the law and actually appearing as good guys. No doubt scientology sucks, but that's not why they're doing it. Scientology just happens to be something no ones protested before, especially on this large a scale with this amount of people power. The topic and scale of the protest ensures maximum attention.

I'm not going but I'm definately tuning in to the news at 11.

[quote=Iris;815092]Yeah, after reading that, I would definitely promote a protest against them, but I don't see more than 10% of anon actually caring about this and doing it for a real cause.

4chan doesn't care about the cause, they care about the lulz. If this were a protest that had nothing to do with 4chan most of them wouldn't go, but this protest is entirely about them.

Yeah I realize that.

Anyways, this will probably top the habbohotel raid a few years back.

Whatever the motives of the rest of 4chan, I'm doing this because I really believe they need to be stopped. To answer your question, whoever you are, I'm covering my face in a black cloth and wearing a suit and bowler derby.

Also, ****ing bol @ the clown idea.

http://www.partyvan.info/index.php/Project_Chanology
Please read up on it, if you have the time. Wikipedia also has quite a lot of information on SeaOrg and other aspects of their religion. If you can't help in person, please look down at the bottom section, "Operations Section," to see how you can help, if you care to.

I can't decide whether I should wear black converse with my suit or my actual suit shoes. The first are more comfortable and fashionable but the latter complete the suit image.

So are you actually doing it for the principle or just for the lulz?

Both.

I have been aware of the evils of Scientology long before this raid. Even before South Park mocked it.

Also it will be absolute major win of epic proportions.

This is true, though I'm leaning moreso for the want of the dismantling of this cult than for the lulz, though of course, it is fantastic to see this actually happen.

Without doubt the most orgnaised raid. I'm sure it's going to be the best and biggest yet which will be amazing considering how short it took to bring it from concept to action.

Well, Anonymous (or several video makers at least) encourage everyone to make videos supporting the cause, merely to gain more attention and notice to it. For my part, I'm attempting to do one as soon as this video maker installs.

Yeah, I'm pretty much helping Judge out now too. Because people basically know me a tech nerd, I'm converting his message to the eerie computer/tech speech of the other videos. That is if my sound card cooperates.

I've finished making the video. Will post it shortly. Or not. Haven't decided if I want which video is mine to be well-known.

EDIT: Done. Still don't know if I should post it or not.

I think you are obligated to post it Judge.

I think you should stick with what we discussed IN GREAT DETAIL.

I can PM it to you, but I suppose for the sake of remaining anonymous, I won't reveal which video is mine to the public eye.

PM it to me too, please.

just post it on youtube and link it in another thread.

Judge, can you PM me your video, too? There's too many related videos on YouTube for me to care to look, and I figure yours will be fairly humorous.

If you're expecting it to be funny, you're going to be disappointed. :X

Never mind, I found it. Good video, and you're right about it not being funny. Yeah, I'm 100% sure it's the right one.

Also, someone just asked me if /b/ was working and linked me, and it seems to be down. Haha...

Yeah I agree with gollum. some of the main Anons behind the whole thing have put a lot of time and effort into not only planning this but writing guides and how-to's. Sure a lot will just want to jump in on the fun, much like any protest not everyone is 100% serious about the cause, but the people who started it genuinely do seem to care.

Oh *** guys, only 1 day left to go!

Klarth is going to the London one, too. Apparently.

Afro wig. Check.
Suit. Check.
V mask. Check.
Video camera. Check.
Blackup. Check.
Tasty beverages. Check

Tomorrow is going to be awesome

Going down to toronto for an unrelated reason, wonder if I'll see any protests... doubt it, being canada and all.

[youtube=e11TtX0WW-w]e11TtX0WW-w[/youtube]

So it begins. This is from Melbourne Australia.

Apparently they've all attracted pretty good numbers and gotten some decent media coverage. Surprising really.

And by all I mean all but New Zealand which turned up six kids tops.

I might go out and check the Edinburgh (I know, I had no idea either) protest. It's apparently doing well!

Watching the London live stream closely for Bebop and Klarthypoo.

Judge, /r/ PM video link.

Ok, instead of posting a bunch of videos, I (totally gonna break anon rule here) by some miracle snagged the screen name "projectchanology" on Wordpress. So anyway, I'm just gonna post them there instead. I'm posting different videos from different protest I find. Sort of like documenting it on Wordpress (huge blog site).

http://projectchanology.wordpress.com/

If you find any that are good from different areas, post them. Especially London and LA.

This is truly fantastic.

Dang, the day is already here. Can't wait to see what happens.

A bunch of info can be found here: [URL]http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/PROJECT_CHANOLOGY/IRL_PROTEST_PAGE[/URL]

London was made of pure win

The Hollywood protest was incredible.

pics or it didn't happen.

Funny, I didn't bring my camera. Really stupid mistake.

You'll see the news broadcasts soon enough.

Someone should start posting all the epic protests. Cats said there was one in Toronto and it was pretty epic, but idk, it's Canada, so I need proof.

Slash and V had a baby I see.

Yeah, the protest was V masks as far as the eye could see. Eerily like the movie.

Moar Klarth photos! His are the best.


I'm really liking this. Glad there are so many photos/videos to check out. If there's another protest, I just might trek all the way to Seattle for it.

Why doesn't klarth post these himself?

Doesn't look too good for Scientology lol.

ANON IS WINNING.

BAAAAAWWWWWWW what a crybaby. Funny he has you act as his arm.

Good pics though.

I went to the Atlanta protest today. There was a good 150-200 people there, so I'd say it was pretty successful. I forgot to bring my own camera, but there are a good number of pictures that other people took online. Sadly, masks are banned in public in GA, so no V masks. But most people were wearing surgical masks that were being handed out, because there were at least two scientologists taking lots of pictures of people, one of which had a huge telescopic lens, so he was probably getting some pretty good close ups of people's faces.

Oh, and there was a riot squad, and a police chopper flew circles around us all day!

Those riot uniforms are totally badass. But I found myself wondering if the shoes are standard issue.


It's kind of funny that in the middle of the big cities there are maybe a handful of policemen, but out there a whole riot squad is standing guard. Maybe they were training or something.

pretty sure they were hired by the cos.

Dude, can I hire a riot squad?


But seriously, I didn't realize it worked that way. I thought it was a part of the police force, as in the police force made the decisions about where and when to deploy the squad, and that they'd never do it for commercial purposes.

See? Peaceful en masse protest works!

I was delighted to see "teh donar frog! We miss you!" in my inbox today, so I thought I'd stop by and say hi.

Apparently the total number of protesters worldwide was ~5000 people, according to the Project Chanology wiki.

I heard it was over 9000.

9,250, actually.

Which is over 9,000...

Congress is starting to get letters from people questioning their tax exempt status. I looked yesterday, and got 19 results, now today I'm getting 52 results.

One thing that I agreed to with the Scientologists always was that psychology is bad.(Don't get me wrong, if it helps someone that's great. I just never agreed to it.)

Until I found out the reason why they dislike it.. ;_;

[quote=ExoXile][COLOR=Silver][FONT=Trebuchet MS]psychology is bad.[FONT=Verdana]Dude, psychology is pretty vital. Without it, everyone who was mentally ill would be fuuuuucked. Plus, it helps in the analysis of animal behavior, etc etc. It's more than just a guy going 'hmmmmmmm' and a couch.[/FONT]
[/FONT][/COLOR]

Psychology can also work the other way.
But yeah, it's better than eating pills like crazy.

I think your opinion is slightly misinformed, but that's just me.

Keep in mind that before psychology, when something was wrong with someone, they'd send them to an asylum, as opposed to trying to figure out what's wrong with them. And when they got there, they tried hack-and-slash methods of "surgery" to attempt to fix them, if they did anything at all (usually they'd just let them rot).

Psychology is vital to understanding the mind, and because no two minds are the same, it's a very expansive field.

I always preferred the "Bleed them till they're better" approach.

Worded it wrong:

It`s not good for me.
