The way to<br />fuck with the CoS is to actually be an effective picketer, and actually know<br />your shit when talking to Joe Public. </p><br /><p>You want to do it for the lulz? Think about how holding a sign that says<br />"Scientology Kills" and handing out flyers with information and links to<br />Xenu.net, Xenutv.com, Enturbulation.org, youfoundthecard.com and<br />whyaretheydead.net is going to completely fuck up David Miscavige's*** entire<br />fucking week. Imagine how completely pissed off and helpless the Scientology<br />leaders will be against you when you <strong>actually do something intelligent<br />and effective. </strong></p><br /><p>The CoS is pissing its pants right now. It's scared shitless because it<br />actually thinks Anon might be able to stop it. If some of you fucktards don't<br />smarten up and actually do things right, they'll just laugh it off and go back<br />to ignoring Anonymous.</p><br /><p>And then where will your precious lulz be? </p><br /><p>***(David Miscavige is the current head of scientology. He's short, has a<br />lisp, and a horrible temper. If people start protesting well, instead for being<br />internet retards, he's going to blow a goddamn gasket, and probably break down<br />crying. There's your lulz. Go get them.)</p></blockquote><br /><p>Know how to make a protest sign that is readable from far away and will convey a clear, negative message about the actions of the <a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology_as_a_business" target="_blank">Corporation of Scientology.</a> (Don't call it a "Church," call it for what it is--a <a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology_as_a_business" target="_blank">Corporation.</a>) </p><br /><p>Some good slogans: </p><br /><p>Religion is Free.

In keeping with this objective, Anonymous has drafted 22<br />rules that Anonymous can follow in order to assure epic win and no loss of hit<br />points on your part. </p><p><strong>Rule #0: Rules 1 and 2 of the internet still apply.</strong> Your<br />memes are not, at this juncture, something that the real world can appreciate.<br />Although meme speak between fellow Anonymous is acceptable, focus on the target<br />and keep it to a minimum. </p><p><strong>Rule #1: Stay cool.</strong> </p><p><strong>Rule #2: Stay cool, especially when harassed.</strong> You are an<br />ambassador of Anonymous. Although individuals trying to disrupt your<br />demonstration will get on your nerves, you must not lose your temper. Doing so<br />will harm the protest and tarnish the reputation of Anonymous. </p><p><strong>Rule #3: Comply with the orders of law enforcement officers above all<br />else.</strong> Doing otherwise is harmful the demonstration as a whole and may<br />compromise your performance as a human being. Do not request badge numbers<br />unless you are being treated in a very abusive manner, as doing so will anger<br />officers. </p><p><strong>Rule #4: Notify city officials.</strong> Most jurisdictions either<br />have rules about public protests, or would prefer to be notified that they are<br />taking place. Know the rules for your jurisdiction and abide by them. </p><p><strong>Rule #5: Always be across the street from the object being<br />protested.</strong> </p><p><strong>Rule #6: In the absence of a road, find another natural barrier<br />between yourself and the target of protest.</strong> Doing so will make it more<br />difficult for individuals hostile to your cause to come and harass you. </p><p><strong>Rule #7: Stay on public property.</strong> You may be charged for<br />trespassing if you do not. </p><p><strong>Rule #8: No violence.</strong> </p><p><strong>Rule #9: No weapons.</strong> The demonstration is a peaceful event.<br />Your weapons. You will not need them. </p><p><strong>Rule #10: No alcohol or pre-drinking.</strong> Violating this rule<br />may easily precipitate a violation of rules 1 and 2. </p><p><strong>Rule #11: NO graffiti, destruction, or vandalism.</strong> </p><p><strong>Rule #12: If you want to do something stupid, pick another<br />day.</strong> These should be self explanatory. Violation of these rules during<br />a demonstration will tarnish the reputation of Anonymous, harm the demonstration<br />itself and leave you vulnerable to attention from law enforcement. </p><p><strong>Rule #13: Anonymous is legion. Never be alone. </strong>Isolation<br />during a protest marks you as a target for handlers who wish to provoke an angry<br />reaction from you and other hostiles. In keeping with this principle... </p><p><strong>Rule #14: Organize in squads of 10 to 15 people. </strong></p><p><strong>Rule #15: One or two megaphones per squad.</strong> A megaphone is<br />helpful for maintaining the overall cohesion of a demonstration and spreading<br />your message. However, too many will confuse the public and render you hearing<br />impaired. </p><p><strong>Rule #16: Know the dress code.</strong> Forming a loose yet<br />reasonable dress code for protest members will help to maintain cohesion and get<br />the public to take you bseriously. </p><p><strong>Rule #17: Cover your face.</strong> This will prevent your<br />identification from videos taken by hostiles, other protesters or security. Use<br />scarves, hats and sunglasses. Masks are not necessary, and donning them in the<br />context of a public demonstration is forbidden in some jurisdictions. </p><p><strong>Rule #18: DO NOT take ID or credit cards.</strong> This will prevent<br />your definitive identification in case you do something unseemly and get noticed<br />by law enforcement. </p><p><strong>Rule #19: Bring water.</strong> </p><p><strong>Rule #20: Wear good shoes.</strong> Following these rules will assure<br />your comfort during the demonstration. Keep in mind that demonstrations may<br />often be quite lengthy. </p><p><strong>Rule #21: Signs, flyers, and phrases.</strong> Have yours ready. Make<br />sure that signs are large enough to read. Also ensure that the text on your<br />signs and your phrases are pertinent to the target of the protest. Finally,<br />prepare legible, uncomplicated and accurate flyers to hand out to those who wish<br />to know more regarding the motivations behind your actions. </p><p><strong>Rule #22: Document the demonstration.</strong> Videos and pictures of<br />the event may be used to corroborate your side of the story if law enforcement<br />get involved. Furthermore, posting images and videos of your heroic actions all<br />over the internet is bound to generate win, exhorting other Anonymous to follow<br />your glorious example. </p></blockquote><br /><div></div>SF Anonymous Protesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12194419330082653598noreply@blogger.com1
