Those in the CoS have eyes and can see the truth themselves - the problem is that their eyes have been disconnected from their brain...

[edit] Spreading the message to Scientology's followers

[edit] Goals

1) Show the leaders and executives of this corporation that Feb 10 wasn't just a one off event, and that we arn't going to go away.

2) Take the documentation that this business charges obscene amounts for its members to view, and send it, free of charge, to as many departments within your local scientology cult headquarters. Avoid the weirder stuff like OTIII, and be sure to include a letter with quotes regarding LRH wishes to keep the material free.

3) Plant the seeds of revolution, or at least free thought within their own ranks. Send Valentine's day cards, with the following popular quick one-liners (or even better, post cards), that make those that read them question the motives of their superiors.

• See Slogans to Say to Scientologist for examples

4) Give info to people in there that are already questioning Scientology the information on this site. Just small tid bits, just enough to get their attention, and show them that there are resources out there. Not fliers, and not straight up anti-scientology propganda. Can be as subtle as a photcopy of a dictionary defination of cult, with resources on how to get out of a dangerous cult, and who can help you do that. Links to the many resources out thre on escaping cults. Even letters with a single question like when was the last time you have talked to your faimily outside Scientology?

A organisation for Families affected by Scientology.

5) Utilise legal documents, and anything offical showing what Scientology is doing and has done. Anything from IRS documents, to Mary Sue Hubbards Sentencing Memorandum.

6) Recruit within the CoS! Give them the opportunity to reply! Maybe there are people in the ranks that would bring it down, but are scared to leave, and don't want to leave family in the church. Of course don't give them your reply address. A list of links to already public, established, anti-scientology message board, especially those catered to ex-scientologists. This is playing with fire however, for every person this information gets to that may help us, there could be a hundred that would use it against us, or to spam or post lies on these boards. Don't use it on small underground sites that couldnt handle this sort of influx. Be sure that these boards at least need an email confiamtion to join.

7) Show them the side of scientology they don't see. Any of the damning resources here, especially one that are touching or tragic. (I.E whyaretheydead.net) At least then when next confronted about it, they will start to believe it when it comes from different sources. A site about the children in scientology's ranks

[edit] Suggestions

1) Don't just send to your local cult HQ, someone in the UK is more likely to open a package postmarked from the US and vice versa.

2) For those with office jobs, and little supervision, maybe see if some prepaid envelopes could be misplaced. Be sure not to use any sort of prepaid envelopes that can be lead back to your place of work, which includes pretty much anything with a barcode or tracking number.

3) Just in case, mail the material outside your zipcode, so postmarks aren't from your location.

4) Try and be creative in who you send them to within the target HQ. Donations, Accounts, Administration, etc... almost every department that exists in a corporation or charity exist in Scientology. If you can direct names even better. Don't think your time is wasted sending them directly to key church figures, as this material will be viewed by their PA's and assistants who open their mail. And should a PA to some of the most powerful people in the church turn against them, it could strike a major blow to the church.

5) Bring this up at the meeting before/after the Raids, use this opportunity to plan the next step in groups. We will all be working closely together over this campaign, where at first we are individuals acting alone on a common goal, become the coordinated groups that we need to be to really cause some damage to this cult.

6) Scientologist are trapped both mentally and emotionally inside the cult. They have made great investments on it, and every person they consider friends are scientologist, not to mention their families. They know that if they leave the cult their lives will be mostly destroyed. In order to succeed we need to offer them an alternative that gives them hope and factually helps them to reconstruct their lives after leaving the cult. The Freezoners are an alternate place where they can keep their believes if they wish so, and they may even get some support. But it might be necessary to create some sort of institution that can get donations in order to offer ex-scientologist material help to reconstruc their lives after leaving the cult.

I learned this from this link and xenu.net, which has importan info on how to talk to a scientologist:

[edit] RRG

RRG stands for "real reality game". It's a take off of ARG or "alternative reality game". An ARG is played out in often in the real world. An example would be players investigate to reveal a massive intergalactic conspiracy. They put pieces of "evidence" together and solve puzzles. Puzzles are found on websites, posters in the street, magazine adverts.

The main purpose of Operation: RRG would be to not directly tell scientologists what to think, they need to realize for themselves. There's a reason ARGs work, it's a mixture of curiosity and the reward of personal realization. This all sounds like I'm pulling it out of my arse, basically I am. Think about it though.

We've all heard the saying "curiosity killed the cat" but curiosity did a lot of other things, I'm pretty sure if no-one was ever curious we'd still be eating animals raw. In fact, we wouldn't have even worked that out. I want to exploit the same part of you that has to ask "why?" when asked the time, the part that deliberately misses the monkey on that fucking banner to see if it still takes you to the website, the part that gets pissed off at invisible walls in videogames.

And on the subject for the reward of personal realization, there's this niche market called the videogame industry that's worth over 10 billion dollars in the united states alone that's built on that shit. Even for those of you that don't like video games, are you honestly telling me you've never played sudoku, done a crossword, even played a board game. Even when you were bored as hell, especially when you were bored as hell infact.

A commenter on SlashDot has a great explanation of what happens in the cult too.

A video introduction to LRH's teachings from outside the Church, which fairly well matches what happens within Church. This is the good bit of Scientology which is what its members are there for. Contrast this with the actions of the Church as an organization.

[edit] Reasons for this approach:

The achievements of server attacks, prank phone calls, blackfax/guro/porn/shock faxing can anger them and show them we're not taking their shit anymore. It can get us attention and inspire more people to join Project Chanology. A campaign to try and wear them down in anyway like this would take forever and probably not work.

Telling them they're wrong, and XENU spam does nothing. Think of when you're in a theological argument. As a theist, an atheist just saying "There can't be a god, idiot" is instantly going to make you oppose anything he says on the subject. As an atheist, a theist saying "Something can't come from nothing, idiot" will make you just as hostile.

[edit] Tactics:

I don't know if this fits in with what I've said, maybe the confusing nature. We leak our own chatlogs and discussions to them. Maybe add a covering letter explaining that it's a gift from anonymous or something. We don't want to make it sound like an appeal, but between the lines is the message that it's for their own welfare and the real world welcomes them. Chatlogs would need spam pruning from them, so maybe forum threads and imageboard threads are the way to go. The desired revelation they'd get would be that they've seen the heart of the beast and there's not a hint of ulterior motive. Not sure anymore how the concept of an anonymous imageboard appears to a normal person, if they'd realize that basically you have to say what you mean in srs talks.

Copypasta. Give them paradoxes, puzzles and complex metaphors. If there's any blatant contradictions in CoS literature that can be read in 20 seconds, send them. Send news stories about the science and statistics behind being gay. Send scans from textbooks explaining how the brain and body physically works. Quotes of lectures on glands and hormones. Send chemical structures with nothing else attached. This is one for the brave who live near a centre, stencil an ajar wallet above the "opening times" plaque.

This bit needs more work, but I'm tired as fuck. Let them know that the people in charge aren't happy because of their lack of body thetans, it's because they're sociopathic fucks that get off on the money, power and utter dominance over the lower tiers of the church.

Finally, for a slightly darker tactic, explain how Scientology has killed people through medical negligence. Explain how modern medicine could have saved most and comfort all the people that have died because of it. Explain that electroshock therapy is exploited for sounding so brutal, but it is proven to be pretty much the most effective cure for many mental illnesses. The side effects are the pain of the therapy, but I think you're drugged for it anyway, and a headache for the day. Whereas the benefits are no drugs or "auditing" for years.

PROTIP: FREEZONERS. they are your friends. use them. they are as batshit crazy as your average scinto, but with a big difference: they think scientology doctrine (lets call it like that for now eh?) should not be sold but given away for free. Get freezoners to help whenever you can. contact them, make them work for you, without them exactly knowing they are doing it it SHOULD be OK to tell them that you are trying to help them free LRH's tech for all of humanity ('we don't care if they believe crazy shit, we are trying to bring down the organization of the church, not it's ideas). The CoS is a cult based on MONEY. Freezoners spread the same teachings and the same crazy shit for free, which possibly makes real Scintos hate them even more than us. If possible, arrange a situation where freezoners are on the same area of real scifags during an event. bring a camera. ????. profit. 9 times out of 10, you will have win material for massive lulz.
If Freezoners are "crazy" and we invite them to Anonymous's Raids, will they act crazy and give Anonymous a bad name? We must be careful!

[edit] Very Useful Copypasta

If you can keep $cientology from getting new members (and their money) and get current members (and their money) to leave the organization, the cult will die.

Info about Xenu works on non-$cienos. It doesn't work on HubbardHeads. Here's copypasta describing what does.

Being a Scientology picklehead, I know these "buttons" are the ones to press.

First, you have to understand the degree of loyalty these people have to L. Ron Hubbard. It surpasses loyalty to family, country, one's own goals and even to the Church management itself. This provides a convenient fulcrum for applying intellectual pressure on the members. Using that fact, you can split the organization like Paul Bunyan cording tonight's firewood.

You have to understand that 99.9% of Scientologists are frustrated beyond tolerance with management. I can only explain it by analogy. It's like being helplessly in love with someone who is only using you. You know something is wrong but you think you need this person. You think your life and existence depend on them so you excuse all problems as being outweighed by the positives. You cannot invalidate their beliefs. It won't work. It just makes them more certain they are right. You cannot understand why someone gets addicted to Scientology unless you've been there. Just accept that they are without knowing why. If I told you, you wouldn't believe it.

You can ridicule Scientology to non-Scientologists. That's effective. Who wants to join a UFO cult that believes in XEMU the alien? But once they've had a piece of L. Ron, you have to change the method of attack.

One of the qualities of the human mind is, it ALWAYS does what is right! People are doing their best. They are doing whatever they think is right from their viewpoint and situation. You can't tell them they are wrong directly because they aren't! Anymore than you are. What you CAN do is sow some seeds that let them RE-EVALUATE why they are doing what they are doing. What you need to do is VALIDATE their frustrations with the organization. They KNOW they are right about that. Make them right for seeing wrong. They do see the wrong. They are just scared of being declared an SP. They are scared of losing their "Bridge". So, the lesser of two evils is to continue supporting the crooked management. Help them stop justifying the insanity. Divide and Conquer. An historically proven method.

Believe me. The stress that staff are under is, well, as Steve Fishman put it when he was in jail: "I was so glad to be in jail. It was so much nicer than the hell of the Sea Org." Well, that's paraphrasing, but I too know EXACTLY how he felt. Just about any staff member will tell you this too. Believe it or not. They'd almost all want to be ANYWHERE but in the Sea Org, it's just that, well, their task is so important (saving the world) that they are applying this stress to themselves. It's a very sick situation.

So, you need to tap this frustration, and turn it against the management by using their loyalty to Hubbard and Hubbard's attitudes, i.e. "Ron wouldn't put up with this would he?" type stuff. You need to align your picket signs with Hubbard, and against management. OSA will crap in their pants when you start with big slogans such as the one's I'm about to show you. You also have to direct their attention by telling them what to do with that frustration. Always direct it back at RTC, The Religious Technology Center. This is the corporate entity that owns the copyrights and calls the shots, even though each Scientology Church is supposedly a separate entity legally. You will see BIG REACTION, believe me. Exposing Scientologists to these concepts, will make RTC want to slither away and shudder into silence because you are using their own cherished ideas against them:

[edit] SLOGANS TO SAY TO SCIENTOLOGISTS

Note it's all crazy Scito moonspeak, but they will know what you are talking about.

• "David Miscavige murdered LRH!" (I love this one but what about libel issues?)
• "The SP is right in front of you: David Miscavige."
• "David Miscavige and RTC are the biggest squirrels in all of Scientology."
• "If RTC is a bunch of squirrels messing with the tech, do you really think they are going to let YOU know about it? Who gives Ethics to RTC?"
• "RTC is squirreling LRH books. Compare recent and earlier editions."
• "RTC has made Scientology the opposite of what LRH intended."
• "If RTC really wants to 'Clear the Planet' why are they making it so 90% of Earth CAN'T afford it?"
• "90% of your contributions are going toward legal fees. Outpoint?"
• "If it weren't for RTC, you'd be OT by now."
• "Didn't you join Scientology to have a better life? Do you REALLY have a better life now?"
• "When LRH wrote the 'Doctrine of Exchange' he was not talking about money. He was talking about helping to Clear others!"
• "LRH said 'What is true for you is what you have observed yourself.' What have you observed about the RTC?"
• "If you don't remove RTC now, you may have no Scientology left soon." (This can be interpreted as attacking the religion/tech, don't use')
• "How long are you going to let RTC milk you dry?"
• "Will you make it this lifetime? Not if RTC has anything to say about it".
• "RTC is downstat. Apply the condition or suffer the consequences."
• "No one has the right to sell you Scientology. It belongs to the entire human race". (rewrite - conflicts with CoS "Doctrine of Exchange")
• "The entire bridge is on the Internet. You don't have to pay anyone for it." (rewrite - conflicts with CoS "Doctrine of Exchange")
• LRH said "Did you ever read poor old George Orwell's 1984? Yes,yes, that's wonderful. That would be--- could be the palest imagined shadow of what a world would be like under the rule of the secret use of Scientology with no remedy in existence.", well RTC removed that quote from the new PDC tapes.
• "It's time to make a choice. RTC, or your next endless trillions of years."
• "PR can't hide the Truth anymore. RTC is destroying Scientology."
• "Where have all the millions of trained auditors gone?. Ask RTC."
• "It's your next endless trillions of years. Are you going to let RTC doom you?"
• "The work was free, keep it so ..."
• "What's that uneasy feeling in your mind? RTC destroying Scientology".
• "You are responsible for the condition you are in. Don't let RTC tell you what to do."
• "Scientology. The Rich Person's religion."
• "Only the idle rich can afford Scientology."
• "Has St Hill org reached St Hill size yet? Doesn't that mean that after 30 years of playing the birthday game, St Hill org is downstat?"

By exposing the everyday Scientologist to these ideas, you will start a cancer in Scientology. These ideas give people "stable data" upon which to hang their frustrations. The mounting feelings of hell that being a Scientologist gives one will now have a proper outlet.

Working from the inside, The Worm

ANONYMOUS: ^^ THIS WORMFAG HAS THE RIGHT IDEA!!!!!!

  We should get these in newspaper ads no?

[edit] Another View on one-liners

You sometimes may have to take another approach; using the jargon may make it too easy for them to process it through the propaganda they've been given. You might try rephrasing some of those into normal english.

• "You're in the only church that sells their scriptures. Does the RTC not believe that you are committed to your cause?"
• "RTC is using most of your money to keep others from finding out about the Bridge"
• "Can you really trust the RTC, when they've told you to throw out all your old books (that you bought from them) so you can buy new ones?"
• "All that lost tech proves that RTC and the church weren't doing their jobs."

The church values efficiency and order. Get across that they have neither, and are being bled dry.

There are more ideas posted on the talk page

[edit] Theological Attack

The purpose of this section is to use the teachings of LRH to attack the current CoS leadership and their interpretation of those teachings. Freezoners and ex-members would have the best insight and be most helpful here. Whenever possible (under the argument of Fair Use) post snippets to quote.

[edit] One Liners / Quick Arguments

• "What is true for you is what you have observed yourself. And when you lose that you have lost everything" -> Have you lost everything? Or do you see the RTC for what they really are?

[edit] Deep Philosophical Arguments

This section is for deep-hitting thoughts that can communicated with Scientologists. After letting one of these loose always pull the conversation back to the idea. "What does that have to do with X?" or "I'm not sure I understand your answer, could you explain your argument again point by point". You don't need to try and understand them or follow what they are saying, just keep them repeating the same thing until they get tired of talking.

• The EP of grade 0 is the "Ability to communicate freely to anyone of any subject", do you feel do you can freely communicate with members of Anonymous, and if not why not?
• Are all the protesters here suppressive persons? Could this be an example of an unhandled ARC break that has simply gone unresolved?
• Suppose that one of the critics of Scientology had a valid point that was consistently ignored by upper management. How could you tell the difference between it and simple mis-information or lies?
• What is the definition of the second dynamic, is it "a) sex and b) family" or "creativity", why has RTC altered this definition in the new ethics book and and LOC course.

[edit] Day of many raids: Progress is made

Quick copypasta from SA:

Okay, time for a sappy, heart breaking story from Philadelphia.

Say hello to a scientologist. Hi Scientologist!

She was sent out like the rest of the scientologists to "give us a scare" by taking pictures and being silent and mysterious and all that.

Now, you may have heard, that the best answer to this is to have a guy on a megaphone reciting the Xenu story. And in fact, for most of the scientologists, this actually worked. They went back inside.

Would you like some literature?

She didn't go back inside.

She, unlike the others, broke her firm resolve, and also broke into tears. (not shown on camera, sorry)

She stayed and listened. She heard about documented evidence of the CoS's crimes. She heard about how these people who she thought were helping her, had killed others using the same techniques they were using on her. She heard the names, heard of their deaths. She heard about Operation Snow White. She heard it from 135 people who cared enough to come out and picket about it. She heard hundreds upon hundreds of cars honking for support.

She cried.

I don't know what she'll do next. But maybe she'll get help. Maybe she'll get out...

[edit] Difficulties

One thing I realised when trying to discuss these issues with $cientologist. A worrying and popular line is just to deny any evidense you give them. Letters in Hubbard's handwriting are 'faked,' court documents about snow white and freakout are 'Bullshit.' This taught me a number of things. Do not waste your time with preclears by telling them about Xenu. Talk about things at their level. Like how the personality test is rigged, how they have to spend so much on auditing, books, etc. How employees would be better off on the dole rather than the pathetic amounts of money their given. It only just occurred to me to draw a parallel between them and drug addicts - they're willing to work like slaves for their next fix.

If you ever come across the line 'Scientology saved my life' don't let them get away with it: Scientology didn't save their life, THEY did.

One thing that pisses them off is that auditing is derived from Abreaction, a process devised by Carl Jung, a - shock - PSYCHOLOGIST!

Hope this helps.

Most scientologists believe that forwarding scientology is the one any only way to save humanity. Any point that is critical of scientology will be considered to be potential misinformation spread by someone why desires the destruction of humanity. Focusing purely on points such as intellectual honesty and things that can be proved/demonstrated without reference to "opinion" or "the internet", or otherwise discredited because you are a criminal, will help get past the cognitive dissonance that is common among Scientologists. l

[edit] Flash Raids

Scientology was prepared for what happened on the 10th. The church I protested was closed, which was great, but that meant that we couldn't help enlighten many low-level Scientology victims. I'm talking about the people that go in for auditing every once in a while when they can afford it, and maybe take a course or two at the church. I am sure that if many of these people were aware of what Scientology is really about, they would never come back. Since these "regulars" are a good source of income for the church, it would really hurt them if we got some to stop supporting Scientology.

One thing that would help is the element of surprise. If we can catch them off guard, we can be effective with far fewer people than we had on the 10th. Here is my idea on how to make this happen. First, we need to find out when the church is most active, especially when people are entering and leaving. Then, on short notice (no more than a day would be ideal if doable) we set a time to raid. Even 5-10 people showing up for an hour would make a difference if it's a peak hour when there is a lot of activity going on. Our goal would be to show members what the Co$ is really about, and get them to reconsider giving them money. If we can do this semi-frequently, we can really hurt them. Spread this idea to your local anonymous groups.

[edit] Ordinary Scientologists contact info here

We have a list of Facebook accounts for several thousands of Scientologists. With a large group of Anonymous, we can send them all the information and encouragement they need to take the step and leave the cult.

Contact information is in this Enturbulation thread: (link is broken, can someone fix?) http://forums.enturbulation.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4675
