Anonymous just had their sixth protest against Scientology a month ago, and they're not stopping until the church changes its behavior.
On July 19th, 2008, the online community that calls itself “Anonymous” had its sixth monthly protest against the Church of Scientology. The group has been having protests each month since February 10, 2008, and will continue to do so until the following occur: the tax exempt status of the church becomes revoked, the church becomes penalized for its illegal activities, and the church ceases its illegal activities.[1]
Besides accusations of blackmail and fraud, Scientology faces negativity from Anonymous and ex members for the alleged maltreatment of its members, which includes secluding members from family and friends if those people show criticism for the religion, and disallowing them from taking medications or seeking help that is outside the religion.[2]
Every protest takes place in different areas around the world on the same date. These places include Washington DC, New York City, LA, London, Australia, Dublin, Birmingham, and Berlin, to name a few. The protesters insist on wearing masks to protect their identity, afraid of being blackmailed or mistreated by the church. Many wear Guy Fawkes masks, made popular by the 2005 hit V for Vendetta. Scarves or other masks and costumes are also prevalent.
It has also been a trend for protests to have themes attached to them. The theme for May was “Operation: Fair Game (Stop),” to raise awareness of the policy in Scientology that allows its members to deprive critics of property, or to injure them. The theme for the last protest was “Operation Snow White,” referencing an act that tried to clear the records of unfavorable information about the organization. The upcoming protest, to take place on August 16, has yet to have an established theme. But the debated name is “Operation: Cult Fiction.”
The protests in Washington, DC have events for the participants. At the July protest, guest speakers were spread out through the afternoon, and in between were dance songs, a cake eating contest (cake appears in some form at every DC protest), and a “trap” fashion show. The fashion show featured men in cross-dress outfits to represent how they view scientology to be a “trap”—an innocent looking religion that ends up being completely different once it is too late to get out.
As the monthly protests continue, police reports are investigating documents and criminal behavior of the organization. Anonymous also believes that Scientology is lying about the size of their membership.[3] The online group is excited for what their allegations and protests are accomplishing, and they will continue their efforts until they see no further need to spread awareness and encourage activism.

Ronbot is a
pejorative term for some or all fanatical followers of Scientology. The
term is a pun on Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's first name and the
word robot. The term Ronbot is meant to express the habit of
Scientologists of being so programmed with the "Tech" that they
can't express their own viewpoints on life, because that has been
suppressed and prohibited of them from doing so. The fanatical Ronbot
never doubts any thing he is told by staff, never investigates, never
thinks beyond what he is told, never seeks to know more than he is
permitted to know, never refuses to turn on his family, never reads what he
is told not to read, never refuses to hurt the feelings of his family,
never refuses to kill the love he had for his family, never doubts PTS or
SP data, never seeks other ways to heal any symptom, never wonders why he
is so fanatical and why? Never wonders why he hates SPs, never refuses to
hurt, damage or harm an SP, never doubts he is superior to us, never
refuses to obey his masters on staff, etc. The fanatical Ronbots that
guard the military bases and navy of Scientology are ordered to kill or
shoot at any SP or ordinary intruder that comes near or invades their ships
or bases, even if it is their own parents who go there to get them out. He
is so robotic that the killing of his own parent will not produce the same
mental effect that it would produce in us – if we killed our own father or
mother, whose only crime was the hurt of disconnection ordered by the
Anti-God cult. Ex-scientologists view a fanatical anti-god Ronbot as a
brainwashed Robot, since he can't ever leave the Tech and express his own
view points. His reading material, his TV viewing and his
interpersonal relationships and what he says and the way he talks, are
closely monitored by other Ronbot Staff. If they discover that he went out
with or talked with an SP and read material from Anti-cult websites, he is
in deep trouble and must now face an ethics review. He in fact does
not have his own viewpoints, but just thinks so. His mind is so flooded
with the Tech that to speak to, associate with, date or love a person who
is classed as an SP is instant insanity (drastic down-tone slide) and he
will be classed by the Anti-God Cult as a “risk” or PTS. Remember this
fact—that all true fanatical Ronbots have a weak mind and spirit, no matter
their IQ or years of word clearing. They are actually very willing to be a
slave of the Tech without question. In the CULT OF SCIENTOLOGY YOU
HAVE NO CONSTITUTION RIGHTS SUCH AS FREE SPEECH – you are told what to
think, do and say. Your actions, your friends your relations, your books,
and everything else you can think about is RESTRICTED to their approval.
In the CULT OF SCIENTOLOGY YOU HAVE NO CONSTITUTION RIGHTS OR CIVIL
RIGHTS SUCH AS THE RIGHT TO MEDICAL CARE OF YOUR OWN CHOOSING. IF YOU ARE
SICK IN ANY WAY – YOU ARE PROHIBITED BECAUSE YOU ARE CLASSED AS A PTS
PERSON AND AS SUCH, YOU HAVE NO FREEDOMS. YOU ARE NOT A FREE MAN OR
WOMAN ABLE to do as you please at home, read what you please at home, your
home TV set has a little censorship lock on it placed there by the cult to
keep you inline. Even your thoughts and innermost secrets are
investigated and if they are considered wrong or un-approved by your ETHICS
OFFICER you are taken (scammed) for more money. The fanatical Ronbot
was told that "suppression is illness and illness is
suppression", therefore he thinks that all illnesses come only from
suppression or a PTS condition. Remember that Ronbots are told that
“all illnesses to a greater or lesser degree are due to only a PTS
condition”. Any illness or symptom makes a fanatical Ronbot turn on anyone
he was near in the past 72 hours. He is programmed to believe that his
Mother or Father now is a Monster called a“SP” or “Suppressive Person. He is never given the facts on “symptom re-stimulations”. He is never
told about it being a physiological reaction, he is never told that all
symptoms and illnesses are physiological reactions and that some symptoms
can be re-stimulated by stress and arguments. And those symptoms are never
the same for all; because every one has different deficiencies and
different levels of toxins in their body that will always bring out a
different symptom each time he is argued with. Remember this one fact
that Scientology rejects—“symptoms are not illnesses!” But Ronbots are
never taught the true causes of real illnesses, and are trained to despise
their parents when they get a symptom of a real illness. Symptoms can be
re-stimulated by many real causes of illnesses even by stress—which in the
cult is accepted by the brain-washed ronbots as “suppression”. Scientology NEVER teaches Ronbots that symptoms are really physiological
reactions of all life on Earth. A physiological reaction is an effect
of some cause. The real causes of all illnesses produce the symptom. They use this brain-washing about symptoms, in order to control them and
make them hate whoever opposes the cult. In his weak fanatical
brain-washed mind, he can't ever accept that legal and illegal drugs,
chemicals, parasites, toxins, toxic plants, mutated foods, Nuked
(irradiated) Foods, or poisonous animals or insects, poisons, viruses or
bacteria or over acidity etc., are the only and true causes of illnesses in
the world. His mind rejects these well known facts as SP propaganda. When he faces you in the street—he can’t see you, he can only see what is
programmed into his brain-washed head. To him, you are the SP monster who
is no better than his SP father or SP mother he turned his back on and now
hates and/or distrusts. He is not free to think for himself--therefore
he is a ronbot. It is senseless to argue or fight with a Ronbot—he
needs de-programming—he needs to be told he is a Robot and that he can’t
pull the plug and reset his brain. Do not confront a Ronbot the old way –
just pity him and dare him to talk with you about how Physiological
Reactions are connected to study tech. Dare him to have a friendly
conversation with you—the more of a Ronbot he is – the more he will be
afraid to go to ethics for daring to talk with an SP. The fact that
is easily proved is that he is really SCARED to have a friendly
conversation with you – to him you are a suppressive person – to him you
are a MONSTER – the kind of monster his cowardly mind could not face in his
nightmares. The Anti-God cult will threaten any person with total
exposure of all their confessed sins and secrets, if you dare leave, EXPOSE
or confront them. That is the weapon that controls ALL CELEBRITIES,
PROFESSIONALS AND COWARDS. The weak have given up their soul and now find
that it will be made public knowledge. The programming that he has
received will force him to ask for your sins and secrets. He sincerely
believes that you are against the Cult ONLY because you have sins of
omission and commission. Explain to him that he has sins and secrets
too and that you would like to know his first, since he brought up the
issue first. But don’t ask to hear them as a treat or condition to talk
with him—if he refuses to give you his own sins and secrets—let it pass as
long as he is willing to talk with you. Do not argue with or insult a
Ronbot, talk with him in a polite way even if he disgusts you. Arguments
are commercial Controversies and make you lose the game. Get him to
identify who he is and find out if he has property or a website. He if is
connected to any website that libels and slanders your actual name on it—he
just made you rich. Then hire a Private Investigator to find out who
owns or runs the website. Write them and accept all their attacks on your
name for value. Start the UCC method to counter-attack them and take them
for all they own. Know this for a fact. -- His brain is not his
anymore. He can’t be proactive and dare to talk with a person who he was
told is a MONSTER. But if he dares to talk and you only ask questions and
never argue with him. He will begin to doubt and you know what happens to
him after he is in the Condition of Doubt. He is as evolved as a
snail-or he was one in another life. In this life, he consented to be a
mind-slave. Just dare him to read and dare him to talk with any anti-cult
person on a friendly basis for at least one hour—dare him to get to know
you--by then after that hour he is now a damaged ronbot to the cult—he
won’t be trusted and now he is on his way to freedom from control. For
you to defeat the Anti-God “Church” of Scientology you must expose these
truths about how Ron discovered Study Technology. Once you put this
NEW DATA into his brain, he is now damaged goods and is no longer a Ronbot,
but a suspected PTS person never to be trusted again by the Cult. To
save a RONBOT BRAIN you must deprogram it with NEW DATA.
