SECTIONS 2-7 ARE CURRENTLY ACTIVE.

STATUS OF SECTION 8 IS- [DIVIDE BY ZERO ERROR].

See Project Chanology/Protection with instructions on how to keep scifags from raping your ass.

OBJECTIVES:

Contents

[edit] Section 0: Good ol' DDoS

Section 0 is complete. Objective was to gain attention, and this was achieved. Blocking all of their websites via DDoS is illegal, but also contrary to our stated aim of free speech. Let them speak their nonsense, but let us speak the truth even louder.

Information from this section is archived here: Project Chanology/Operations/Section 0: Good ol' DDoS (Complete)

[edit] Section 1: Spam their phone, fax, mail, emails

Information from this section is here: Project Chanology/Operations/Section 1: Spam their phone, fax, mail, emails (Complete)

[edit] Section 2: Anti-propaganda

This is where the richest elite of Anonymous come in. Simply put, we place all of the known facts of Scientology and its inner workings on shell sites in a repeating flash video (which directly mentions our shell site). Then, we Digg it, email it to the CoS, upload it to YouTube under various names, and upload it to YouPorn and several other places. The Church should quickly take notice.

  • Protip: The above paragraph describes exactly what Co$ is doing with their anti-Anon materials right now. See http://junkwars.blogspot.com/ as an example. Or don't see: my computer stopped responding when I opened that link.

[edit] Press Work and Media Attention

Mass media coverage is required for this raid. See the full operation:

Some has already been received, including a few larger news sources. See that page for more info on helping get us in the news.

If you manage to capture any kind of media during an IRL raid of scifags acting in a negative way make sure you send your media to CNN's iReport section. The more footage we give them of our crusade the higher chance we'll get our message onto CNN World, one of the few WORLDWIDE news channels.

As this gains more attention in the mainstream media, it becomes more likely they may cover an IRL raid. Ask to remain anonymous but have some hard hitting quotables on hand. It's probably best to know a lot about a few horror stories than a little about a lot of them. It'll be less likely then that you're unable to answer any follow up questions or counterclaims by scifags.

-Objective Achieved National Public Radio has given an opinion on the Project Chanology situation and they approve. NPR Station Reports.

[edit] Spam YouTube & Other Sites

Flag videos by Paul Fetch and other haters as inappropriate, as bullying, disgusting content, etc. Because they are. >_<

Rip the most viewed videos from YouTube, edit them so that, ten seconds or so in, they cut to Anonymous' message to Scientology or the leaked Tom Cruise video, then repost them repeatedly. This way the message is unavoidable and hard for the target to remove, and it gets to the mass populace. Also vote 5 stars and favorite videos that support the cause.

Go on to digg and start digging relevant articles. Here is a guide for digging articles more than once -

TO DIGG ARTICLES MULTIPLE TIMES-

1. REGISTRATION. Log out of your current account and click join. pick any screenname with random numbers after it (ex. anon406 or xcalibur3098). the site requires a unique email, but this can easily be bypassed with the periods trick. you can use your own email for this or better yet, register a long (max 30char) gmail. for example, anonymousshallprevailxenurules@gmail.com ... use it for one account, then when you create a 2nd account, type in the same email except with a period, i.e. a.nonymousshallprevailxenurules@gmail.com . for every account you create, just move the period down one letter! when you reach the end of the email, you can use 2 periods the same way - a.non.ymousshallprevailxenurules@gmail.com - like so. after that, simply fill out the rest of the form, using random first/last names and random bdays (as long as theyre in the 1980s or before). then simply log in to gmail or wherever and click the confirmation link.

MailinaTor adventures: Another way to acquire difficult-to-trace one-off email addresses is to use the handful of alternate domains from mailinator.com. Many sites have validation rules that block mailinator.com, but not too many add the mailinator alternate domains. Use Tor at mailinator.com for bonus anonymity.

2. DIGGING. go to search bar and type in "scientology" and digg all the articles relevant to anon vs scifaggotry, or Co$ being evil. after that try other terms, like "scientology anonymous", "hubbard" etc to digg anything you missed. also search "anonymous" and check the first 2 pages.

NOTE TO FIREFOX STUMBLERS-

To gain even more knowledge of our win, those who have Stumble, thumbs up ever pro-Anon act you can. Label it in various categories to gain acceptance. If you don't have Stumble, download it from the Firefox add-on site and start thumbs-upping lisa mcphearson sites etc. Likewise, thumbs down every scientologist site so no one stumbles onto their crap. Sites to thumbs up are Xenu.net and Xenutv.com etc.

Thats it! and remember that anonymous is legion and shall prevail.

[edit] Money

Write "Google Lisa McPherson" and other slogans related to the war on bills and currency. Spend the money after writing on it, or take large bills to the bank (50s,20s,etc.) and cash them for 1s write on them then redeposit them the next day or spend them. This will get the money moving around.

Another alternative for Americans would be to cash large denominiations for American $2 bills. You must ask for $2 bills directly from the bank. Their perceieved rarity would make them stand out. Many people do not use $2 bills. If "Google Lisa McPherson" was written on $2 bills, it would stand out more. For more info, read the wikipedia article on $2 bills.

Writing on a bill of direct monetary value maybe a crime in the US. Writing on money is not illegal unless you are promoting your own for-profit business or render it unfit for continued circulation. Only the Mint can alter/destroy money.

Law is rarely enforced. However, if you get a banker with a bug up their ass one day watching you do this you might get in trouble.

  • ^If you're going to be putting marked bills into the bank, don't leave the message on every one of them. If they ask just say you must have gotten it as change somewhere (this is much more believable is you're using $1-$10 bills). Plausible deniability is easy. Banks aren't a great target anyway - marking $1, $2 and $5 bills to be spent at random businesses is much more likely to get them into the hands of other people.
  • ^The $2 strategy will be better for businesses, 7-11s, MacDonalds, etc...

[edit] Google Bomb

Remove Scientology.org from rank #1 - Spread the word - link to www.xenu.net with keyword "scientology" from all of your places (pages, blogs, boards, no spamming, please)! Scientology

Make Scientology.org rank #1 for "dangerous cult" - Spread the word - link to www.scientology.org with keyword "dangerous cult", "brainwashing cult", "[your adjective of choice] cult" from all of your places (pages, blogs, boards, no spamming please!
Dangerous Cult

A new website, Scientology Victims Testimonies Has been launched. This site features many videos about the horrors of scientology as told by the victims themselves. Let's see if we can replace scientology.org with this site as the #1 result when searching for scientology or other related words.

[edit] Game Maps

  • Game Maps, we need to get every mapper making custom maps for FPS games to put anonymous propaganda into their maps. Custom FPS maps are played by millions, this could be huge.

UPDATE: we are planning to make CS_Scientology: Lisa McPherson is being held hostage at the Fort Harrison Hotel, and must be rescued. We will port this to many games.

Attention Clearwater Anon: Anyone up for taking texture reference photos of Fort Harrison Hotel?

[edit] ATTENTION BRITFAGS: Countering Scientology Propoganda

ATTENTION STUDENTS (ESPECIALLY BRITFAGS). It has been reported that various pieces of Scientology propoganda have been handed out in British Schools, by bribing Metropolitan Police Officers (it was on the Guardian website - Google it because I can't find the link!).

Link added: http://www.drugs-forum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=45743

These Narconon tracts praise Hubbard and insist all drugs are evil, and are obviously being used to spout Scientology.


  1. RAISE AWARENESS. Tell your classmates and college mates about L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology, Narconon etc.
    Protip: Inform them that it is a CON, and a load of psuedo-scientific GARBADGE (like how they state antibiotics are evil).
  2. GET YOUR CLASSMATES TO RIP THEM UP. Teenage drug users are often desparate to get off them, and will try any means necessary. To get rid of these pieces of dangerous material will save them from being conned and drawn in.
    Talk to your teachers, especially your Head teacher/Principal, and your Dean (for all college and uni fags).
    PROTIP: Do assemblies on it, and get them ripped up PUBLICLY.
  3. INFORM PARENTS. Get them to lodge complaints with the School Board, the Council, the Education Department, etc.
    PROTIP: Get them to complain to the Metropolitan Police (or other repspective groups involved). Condemn them for their actions.
  4. Get the pupils to lodge complaints with Narconon and so on.


BIG PROTIP: Show the parents and students the ONLINE PETITONS. START YOUR OWN TOO.

This is just one example. Similar procedures could be used for other Scifag propganda.

The petitions, by the way, are here: http://partyvan.info/index.php/Project_Chanology/Petitions

[edit] Scifag Books in Libraries

http://www.boingboing.net/2008/02/12/project-chanology-co.html#comment-124000

I would do the same. If you see any books by L. Ron Hubbard that are philosophical in nature, then get a stack of business cards and write rebuttals on them, lodging them into the spine so that they're not easily dislodged.

Need suggestions for cards and page numbers to use.

[edit] Section 3: Neutralize threats to the raid

If you oppose Scientology we will look up -- and find and expose -- your crimes.

--L. Ron Hubbard,


By the time this raid is an Internet phenomenon, we will get attacked by Scientologists.

NOTE: Some of these tactics may no longer be advisable since this has become more than an internet phenomenon. The general public is now looking at us as well.

This is where we bring the big guns out. We harass the lawyers and their law firms. We call them, fax them Goatse and so on, and complain to her/his boss that she/he is a crack whore/rapist/whatever. Relentless harassment and outnumbering our opposition will distract them; you can't write a lawsuit when you are getting over 9000 calls drowning out your real ones.

While there is no such target at this time, keep an eye out for lulzkillers. If you get their IP give it to /i/ mods.

  • So, Neutralize them upfront. Get them cam's rolling, and lulling, at - like - all places. We are your eye!

There are two main types of targets

  • Scientologists attacking us.
  • Non-scientologists reporting our details to scientology, allowing them to attack individuals.

Both of these types of attacks can be neutralized with SPAM! SPAM is our most deadly weapon. Also, getting attacks on camera and exposing them also helps. :D


[edit] Section 4: IRL Raids

  • NEW IRL RAID PROPOSED! PROTEST Co$ TAX STATUS AT LOCAL IRS OFFICES! GET GOVFAG ATTENTION!!*

Various elements of Anonymous are now working on constructing a task force to front the IRL portion of raids. A video will be put out within the next few weeks with instructions on how to go about raiding.

Lulz will be had.

For further IRL fun, Christian groups should be contacted and persuaded to help us. Remember that scifags hate jeebus and Christmas and the easter bunny and all they want is your children's asses and money. If the Christians join the movement the Lulz can only increase.

Contact as many as you can. Phrase the requests in their own language - no memes, be a concerned Christian, and talk a lot about how the CoS threatens the faith. Mention its known history of ordering its followers to sever all contact with their families. Concerned Christians respond well if they know their faith is being threatened and considered blasphemy. If possible, focus on pastors and leaders of denominations, as they hold the real power in most Christian communities and can inspire their members to act. It would be desirable to see a few Christian organizations as well as our own forces protesting outside Scientologist buildings and turning their considerable political power on this dangerous cult.

We now have the ammo to create uberlulz: http://www.xs4all.nl/~kspaink/fishman/index2.html. Send a copy of all relevant information to any Christian group you know. They won't like it. Get them on our side. (And if you already have an in with the churches, so don't waste the opportunity.)

[edit] Standard Operating Procedure

1. Multiple Cameras: It would be exceedingly foolish to proceed with the raid without at least one camera with the main group of people, and one down the block or something so that if the shit really hits the fan (or the main camera is broken or otherwise compromised) at least that person can get the video to the authorities and YouTube (in that order, mind) ASAP

2. Nonviolence: Do not, under any circumstances, (other than you being cornered or otherwise unable to escape from the situation) strike or even touch a scientologist counter-protester, etc. Even if you do not have a camera to capture the incriminating evidence (what are you doing without a camera in the first place?), they almost certainly do. If one of the protesters in your group is attacked, drag him back and close ranks. If they start to take your fliers, etc, let them take. Any violence caused by us will give the Scientologists ammunition.

2b. Expelling Spais: Anyone who begins to get violent is probably a Scientologist in disguise. That person must be labeled as such and forced to leave the group. This fact is very important, because it is our anonymity that they will exploit most. Do not let them destroy our credibility!
2c. Safety First: Bring a first aid kit and supplies; if possible, bring a friend trained in first aid.

3. Anonymity: Wear a mask at all times, and if prohibited, a scarf, hat and sunglasses will do just as well. Bulk up clothing enough to obscure your profile, but not enough to hinder your movement when needed most. These people are insane and cannot be expected to act as normal human beings do, and could very possibly tail you in your car/vehicle for miles. Scientologists might have a police officer ask you for ID. In the United States you are not required to ID yourself to a cop to satisfy someone's idle curiosity. Only ID yourself if the cop tells you you'll be arrested otherwise; in that case, ask to do so outside the presence of Scientologists, and politely ask for and record the officer's badge number.

3b. Transportation: Have a vehicle or vehicles capable of holding all of the protesters idling (maybe not, but have someone near as hell to it) and ready to go at all times with a person inside. It may be a boring job, but it could save everyone from harm in case of the shit hitting the goddamn fan. If possible put dealers plates on your car, and leave your real plates inside your car not visible, if a cop stops you for it, it will be simply a fix it ticket and your identity will be safe.
Is this really a good idea? Then they'll get your license plate. It would seem better to park far away so they can't get your license and then walk.
Isn't public transportation a better course of transportation? Remember, anonymity is our strength.
In the state of Maryland, you can be arrested and receive fines and up to a year in prison for driving without plates.
3c. Upon Returning From Raids: Do not proceed to your house! Tailing is highly likely and you don't need these crazies finding where you live. Go to an internet cafe, a library or another place that has public access to internet. Surf to a site that tells of Scientology controversies(preferably the Wikipedia page as it links to many reliable news sources and will not look like a propaganda site to the stalking believer). Do a "toilet break" and the stalker won't be able to resist checking the comp for any possible personal info. And he'll find the truth out himself. WIN. If they're still tailing you, call the police, in fact, if they start tailing you at all call the police.
IF going home is necessary, take an indirect (BUT NOT ABANDONED) route, this way it will be easier for you to tell if someone is trailing. NEVER take any abandoned road if you are being followed, that invites trouble. Some Scifags are capable of some very evil shit (kidnapping, murder, etc), you want to make sure you're visible to the public if you're being trailed.
If you think you're being followed, take only right turns. (or left turns, if that's the side of the road your country drives on)

4. Police: Our Best Friends. Before you raid, inform them of where you will be protesting and when. They might even send a few officers out to hang with you and that will keep the Scientologists in check. Talk to them, 'cause most police officers are in fact pretty hip cats. It also will improve our image as peaceful folk.

Also thanking police officers who show us respect as we picket will help us improve our image. It only takes a second and shows we're there for the common good.

5. Documentation: Carry a lot of it, chances are they'll forcibly take some in their insane anger and tear it to shreds. Again, be sure to let them, and while they're at it grab a few more of the thousands of sheets you already have.

Documents should be LINKS to the doxs via file sharing sites (media file, torrents, etc.) and not the actual verbatim doxs. this way you cannot be fingered for distributing copywrited material (UPDATE- Co$ don't even actually OWN the copyright to the higher OT levels) and it will save you the cost of printing those lengthy papers (titles identifying the contents of the links should be fine). Written out fliers should be short (one or two pages) with publicly available information concerning the churches current and past actions.
5b. Music/Media: Bring a self-powered boombox if at all possible and either play some raid audio or some of their own shit at full volume. Keep a ton of spare batteries in the car, and if they take it and stomp it to death, turn on the cars stereo for a bit.

Note: you will need a permit in some jurisdictions to play music above a certain decibel range.

5c. Fliers: Remember, the first thing people see of the protest is the fliers! Make sure they look good; use a print shop (e.g. kinkos) if you have to. Poorly-made signs hurt our public image! Make sure their are people giving out fliers to the public a few meters away from the main protest - if you've got enough people, have a second group further away still. Many people are much more likely to take a flier from a small group on the outskirts than take one as they hustle past the main action. Make sure you're on both sides of the protest - some people who won't take a flier on the way in may be much more curious once they've been past. If the police have asked you to stay on one side of the road, ask them if small groups can go on the other side of the road say fifty meters away. They'll normally agree, but keep the groups small - this makes it more comfortable for people taking fliers, and easier for the police to just let you get on with it rather than worrying that you're planning something. Basically, make sure you've got the whole show covered, and flirt with people in uniform while you're at it.
5d. Know your Material: For gods sake, read your material (xenu.net, your fliers, etc) before going! having to read your material whenever someone asks a question will discredit the movement!

6. Communication: Invest in some cheap 2-way radios or walkie-talkies for either everyone or a few that lead to those farther away. It isn't strictly needed, but it could do no harm.

7. Know your Rights: Know your legal rights as an activist in your area, for Brits look here: http://www.freebeagles.org/articles/legal_booklet_v3.html. Follow the letter of the law and don't do anything that will get you arrested or give the police reason to confront you, any confrontation may escalate whether through Scientologist intervention or otherwise, so don't give them the opportunity.

[edit] Breakdown of order

There will eventually be somebody that fights back. This is intolerable, but inevitable. We will need to be prepared to release a statement proclaiming it to be an isolated incident and that this person does not represent our movement as a whole.

If police are present, it is their job to restrain anyone who becomes violent. Jumping into a fight, even to break it up, could be read as a riot, giving police an excuse to shut down the protest.

Try and prevent this by watching Scientology protest videos. This will give you and idea of how they will act. Prepare yourself to deal with it.

A good strategy often used historically in crowds, to get things back under control and prevent instigators from running away, is to quickly form a tight circle around the person being attacked and their attacker. In this scenario, the victim would fall to the ground and "turtle". This serves three fucntions: a) prevents the attacker from escaping, b) can shame the attacker and capture the actions on film, and c) gives everyone something to do that is not jumping into a fight. Obviously if police must intervene (and assuming they even see what is going on) you should open up the circle and point out the attacker.

[edit] Arguing with Scientologists during raids

Never discuss Scientology with a critic. Just discuss his or her crimes, known or unknown. And act completely confident that these crimes exist, because they do.

~L. Ron Hubbard~,


You absolutely have to get your facts straight if you want to argue with them. Most of them are not OTIII and are scared of the internet so they will deny Xenu. If you decide to, look at PsyOps and try to train yourself to detect and overcome techniques they may use

  • HOW TO TALK TO A SCIENTOLOGIST...[1] (Remember, we are here to help, not antagonize.)
  • Steven Fishman explains high-level Scientology bullshit. [2] (He's much better now.)
  • Xenu written in Hubbard's handwriting from the original OTIII document: [3]
  • Recordings of Hubbard talking about "Xenu." [4]
  • Recordings of Hubbard's own voice talking about space opera and farting electronic dogs: [5]
  • New york times article proving Mary Sue Hubbard and a bunch of other scientologists were convicted on "conspiracy and other charges related to break-ins at Federal Government offices.": [6]
  • Copy of indictment of Mary Sue Hubbard: [7]

Prepare some knowledge so when a scientologist says to you 'there is a lot of shit printed on the internet, who are you going to believe, a crap internet site or the source of the information: LRHs books' you dont just fucking stand there drooling. The convictions against scientology are in reputable court records and newspapers, try google news archives.

Be aware that the scifags will ask you the same questions over and over again in an attempt to enrage you, irritate you, or just generally fuck with your head: "WHAT ARE YOUR CRIMES? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?" If you're not quick-witted enough to think of a new smart-ass answer every time, just shut up and grin at them while they howl at you. Nothing irritates or frustrates a Scientologist more than not getting a rise out of his victim.

[edit] IRL Disguise Issues

BEST MASK EVAR: (Note that this mask is open to a frivolous 'image rights' suit by Scientology) [8] IRL raids are a double edged sword to Anon. They are needed in order to produce the results we wish to see in this conflict, but they carry an inherent risk to the individual. There has been much talk of masks and disguises being employed. This warrants serious consideration.

If you are considering wearing a full-face mask to an IRL raid, be aware of the local laws. Some/many places have a low-key law on the books that wearing a mask or disguise in a public place is a crime (usually misdemeanor or equivalent charge), and has a provision that this law is rescinded only on Halloween. This is true for many US and Canadian cities. If you plan to wear a mask, check your local laws first. There's no point in going to an IRL raid if you openly give them an excuse to hold/question/arrest you. Perhaps a "Hallo-raid" should be scheduled.

Come to the event without ID if that is legal. You do not necessarily have to tell a police officer your name when asked. However, if an officer tells you that you will be arrested if you do not identify, you should. In this (unlikely) event, tell the officer you would prefer to identify without Scientologists around.

A Shemagh maybe good too, and all you need is a towel or other large piece of fabric, but idk what the US of A will think of it.

In the US a shemagh is a mask and subject to the laws regarding masks. Exceptions for religious practice, health, etc. cannot be invoked at will. The shemagh carries associations with Muslim radicalism that could turn people off to your message.

Many people are going with a Guy Fawkes mask. While this carries much reference-Lulz with it, there are problems. It is inherently bulky, and in the event you need to disappear into a crowd and just be *gone*, it's kinda hard to do. Also, they cost money. Who the fuck wants to spend money? Here's a suggestion on how to be *faceless*, so just follow this link[9], and see how to use beige cheesecloth to make your face pretty much featureless (the classic stockings always works, but they're uncomfortable as hell.) With this disguise, if you need to disappear, you can just move into a crowd, tear it off, drop it, and be gone, and now you won't be carrying any evidence.

In the end, masks are only for The Right Time And Place. If it's just a small group, you're better off just being unmasked everyday concerned citizens. It's the safest thing to do, and it covers your own ass. If you really want the guy fawkes reference you can also wear the mask on the back of your head. Just a little idea from the belgiumfags.

If you don't have a mask put on sunglasses, caps, and wigs. These will make it more difficult for Scientologist to identify you. If you don't have a beard, grow one before the protest and then shave it.

Found a link to a website that provides good reference to laws relating to face masks for each state, please try to confirm this site with another source... [10]

[edit] Newbies and IRL Raids

Since IRL raids are designed to raise awareness, numbers are good. We are all Anonymous, regardless of newbie status. Collect as many people as you can for the 10th, and just make sure they are informed on the scientologist issue.

[edit] Section 5: Deconversion of Current Scientologists

Now that we have the leaders of Scientology in a mess, we can get on with the job of getting people away from that religion cult.

[edit] Section 6: Revocation of tax-exempt status

See Also: Operation ALAS wiki.

    • WE NEED A NATIONWIDE PROTEST AT LOCAL IRS STATIONS! GET THEIR FUCKING ATTENTION!**

One of Scientology's main goals from the start was to gain tax-exemption status; a major stepping-stone in building their financial empire, and a practical way to keep the authorities eyes out of their bookkeeping. Expose the scam - revoke their status! Write your congressman. Remember: Snail-mail is more effective.

Iowa senator looking into tax-exemption status for certain 'churches'. Write to this man! Useful quotes exposing the scam.


1/3/2008 retraction of 28/01/2008 statement. I've been receiving scilon mail trying to learn my identity, so therefore please don't try to email me, as I am no longer using that address actively. If you are willing to put together an argument please post it over on enturbulation.org and i'm sure i'll see it and pass it along. I have an uncle who works as an Ombudsman in Australia, and he would be able to browse our complaint and see if it would stand up in the Australian Supreme court.

So you have an idea of what you’ll be dealing with, here’s a copy of the article released in the Australian about the findings in 1983

Point: If Scientology 'auditing sessions' for children born into the cult are tax-exempt, why is the religious portion of theological schools (Catholic, Hebrew, Sunday, etc.) not? This is a primary glaring contradiction in Scientology's legal status that must be pressed. See Tax Court Denies Scientology-Like Deduction for Jewish Courses

Suggestion for neutralizing their accountancy: have every US Anonymous file a request for public disclosure of Scientology's NPOs' Annual Information Return (form 990). They are required by law to respond within a timely manner (30 days) or face fines up to $10,000 per request. Would you like to know more? Any accountingfags want to write up a form letter for Anonymous to use?

  • Problem with this is the info requested has to be mailed back to you. So unless you want to give up your address, I wouldn't recommend requesting this info. However, We could try requesting PDF's sent to Free Emails, This would also get around the provision in the tax code allowing them to charge for copying & Postage. Though they might be able to challenge the request based on us specifying format.
  • Done (somewhat): http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506a.pdf Form 4506-A - Request for Public Inspection or Copy of Exempt or Political Organization IRS Form... Keep in mind the first 100 pages of the 990 are free for non-commercial use, but each additional page thereafter is $0.20, so I wouldn't recommend it, as 990s can be hundreds of pages, especially for a large organization. ~Anonymous-Kira ^^That is a Request to the IRS, that will not bog down Co$, only my tax refund, don't use a 4506. If you want this info you must contact the Co$ and request it from them.
  • Secondary problem: There is a real risk that a form 990 may not exist for Scientology (as a whole or its multitude of front orgs); churches have possibly the broadest exemptions of all 501(c)3 groups, including a specific exemption from filing form 990 for churches and "religious organisations". The bad news is that the assets may be split across literally hundreds of CoS centers (a lookup for "Church of Scientology" on ERI's form 990 lookup tool turns up over 126 entries, mostly for individual CoS outposts); the even worse news is that practically all of the local CoS groups seem to be using the "church exemption" which enables them to hide nearly all assets without filing a form 990. (This is a very common stumbling block for people wishing to research possible embezzlement or "money trails" in general with coercive religious groups; an example of this is with Sen. Grassley's investigation of finances of televangelists on the Oral Roberts University board (nearly all of which are "name it and claim it" preachers, nearly all of whom use the "church exemption" from filing a form 990, nearly all of whom have rejected Congressional requests for info, and nearly all of whom will likely require specific Congressional or IRS subpoenas to get this info).
  • Tertiary problem: As noted by people who've researched CoS for some time, Scientology has a myriad of front-groups which they operate under. In addition, at least one major CoS d/b/a (Religious Technology Center) seems to have explicitly used the "church exemption" to avoid filing a form 990; yes, sadly, this is a very common practice across coercive religious groups in general.
  • Further Note: There is a database for those sciento-"990s" http://www.xenu-directory.net/documents/scnsecularentities-990used.html (however, it should be noted that--as noted above--many CoS fronts use the "church exemption" and recent form 990s are not available). This list covers most of the major Scientology front orgs.

[edit] Section 7: Working group on CoS Research

An attempt to catalogue all of Scientology's churches, organizations, law firms, publishers and front groups. By knowing the structure of the CoS by collecting information and geographic data, we can better target individual aspects of the CoS. The objective being to collect a comprehensive package of information regarding important people and sections of the church. Anyone interested in this project that has experience in investigation or research, feel free to post an anonymous e-mail and we will get in touch.

[edit] Translating

  • Translate, we need to translate major documents and info to other languages to increase our target audience. Keep in mind that the second most-spoken langauge is Spanish in the USA.

[edit] Books

  • Books, we are working on 3-4 books on the Church of Scientology for distribution on the Internet and during raids.

[edit] Section 8: Infiltration

Enter the church and join. Try to carry personal recording devices, such as an MP3 player with a mic or a big hat with a camera underneath. Keep track of everything going on around you and make logs. Be sure to keep the rest of the legion posted.

  • PROTIP: When being "audited" you can screw with the e-meters. Relax your grip on questions that would cause stress and tighten it ever so slightly when you get a more relaxing question. Even better, check out this video on using silicone hand cream to fool e-meters.

Note: be wary dont give real personal details and have people that know what your doing and can keep you grounded. these "courses" are designed to brainwash and are effective, this is not to be taken lightly.

If you have good experience of bluffing (and I mean really good, this is very hard to pull off perfectly) you can thread wires from a 9V battery down your sleeves for use on the e-Meter. This is to be done only if you are certain that the auditor is stupid enough not to work out what you are doing, or that you can hide the battery etc. (PROTIP: wires should be short so they naturally slide up and into your sleeves, beyond that get creative) well enough that they would be incapable of finding it if they suspect you, as you are more valuable inside the church than out... this is a late-stage tactic to be used once you are heavily established and have already manipulated the local org perception of you into a malleable state optimum for you to commence subversion.

Ideally there would be another /i/nsurgent, but you must go to great pains to ensure they see no connection between the two of you - join several months apart, and as one starts to subvert, it may become advantageous to have one play devils advocate. If possible, come across as having suppressed hostility between the two of you. People tend to split into two camps, and by taking control of both and seemingly 'converting' the leader of the other it becomes possible to orchestrate both sides of an internal conflict, making it easy to resolve such proceedings in our favoured direction. This is an extremely powerful technique, as evidenced previously in the Subeta forums between users and ultimately among the moderators themselves.

BE WARNED: The training routines (TRs) used in the early stages of acclimation to the Church are designed specifically to break down any hesitancy or opposition; they are there to get you used to taking orders. If you think you can sit without blinking for two hours, or not react during the Bullbaiting session, or go over and touch the wall fifty times exactly as the auditor orders you to, or pretend that you're lifting ashtrays with your mind -- all this and NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN FOR *ONE* *FUCKING *SECOND* -- if you think you can do it, then good luck. But I still don't recommend it.

[edit] Faking As Their Server

Before hacking the A-record of the DNS and fake another computer as the scientology server, one must figure out the private key for said server. The www.scientology.org server uses PKCS #1 RSA Encryption. A lot of computing power will be needed using the brute force method. Better to find some way to distribute the computation needed.

Do you have any idea how much power it takes to crack RSA keys of this length? It would take years, even if every Anonymous put their computing power to work on it - all that only to steal their DNS for a few hours before they get the key changed. This is not an efficient tactic. If you want to annoy their website, keep up intermittent low-level DDoSing so they need to pay out to Prolexic continually.

Would It be possible for willing anonymous to contribute their computer to a Bot-Net that one person can use to brute force the RSA?

Inefficient. Do something else.

[edit] Satire Website

It probably make more sense to make a satire web server now. Then rewrite the address record in the domain name system later to that. A nearly identical front page makes for better dramatic effect.

Typosquatting may also be effective and more legit.

With a satire website, anonymous can Google-bomb it to "Church of Scientology" and the various other searches, thus putting said satire site at the top, and bump the real CO$ far down the list.
