Friday Night Picket Report
cultxpt
Friday is an art walk night that draws a lot of people. So we protest
that night.
We tried out chalk art last night. We drew "Danger; cult zone" at
the edges of Scientology's property, with little ufo's. We drew the
outline of a body with whyaretheydead.net inside it. And all kindsa
other huge writing. But I'm not sure how many people notice that. It
seemed most people going by didn't notice the chalk stuff.
There's a postering wall right next to the org. The anons tried
some new tech to put a reasonably indestructible poster up, but when I
drove by after food the guy was just finishing taking the poster down.
The Scientologists set up their tent and big plasma TV again,
offering free stress tests. It seemed like most people who went over
there talked to us after that it was weird and not impressive.
The Scientologists put up the notice about the Guzner Ddos guy in
big poster form and screwed it onto the 'for lease" sign in front of
the org. I don't think anybody even noticed it because it was so much
small writing.
For the first time the Scientology boss lady came over and told us
we were trespassing by being a little bit on their property. So we
scooted our signs and supplies closer to the sidewalk. No biggie, and
I kept expecting them to do that. She complained to the on-duty cop
but he never talked to us about it.
The Scientologists spent about 1/2 the time we were there handing
out dvd's and flyers again. Many people gave us their dvds saying
they really didn't want them.
They still don't have a sign on the building, which confuses some
passersby. They'd figure out we were protesting Scientology but not
realize that the building was where Scientology was.
All in all a good night. There were 10 protesters, hundreds of
contacts with the public, experiments with new protest tech (for us
anyway), and more aggressive behavior on the part of the
Scientologists. We protested from about 5-9pm when hunger seemed to
take over.

New way of "posting" to lifes forum....
They make neon /flourescent colored chalk....and remember when we
picketed by Sheriff Baca's office, the size at a distance is
important..

Off duty cops, who do they serve? (Saying it rhetorically, as I've
seen them forget the very laws they are to serve and protect with,
when $cientology fills their ears with terror stories/and/or
pocketbooks. The one on D.C. who nodded to the security guard on the
segway - affirming that we could not be 300 ft. and then added "on
the entire sidewalk in front of any 'church' as all churches had some
sort of setback - would not repeat himself when I pulled Chip Gallo
over with his video camera to get 'it on tape.' ) This is a law
clearly pertaining to pedophiles. What had the cult told these hirees?

Good stuff. Sounds like you all had serious fun!

"t is not the deprogrammers who beat, starve, and terrorize
the cultist and deprive him of his freedom of choice, it ts the cults
who do these things. It
is not the deprogrammers and other anti-cult activists who want to
"legitimate repression,"
it is the cults who repress their members" intellectual options. It is
not the deprogrammers
who should be criticized and taught, it is the cults that should be
the targets."

Brainstorm here - When picketing and they are handing out their DVDs in this
manner, have a sign saying "Don't want those Scientology DVDs? Help the
environment, we'll recycle them." Or something like this? Another

Who cares if people notice? It's such a huffy piece of BS anyway. I
like the fact that people were giving you copies of the cult's DVDs,
which leads me to make a suggestion: What if you took along a
wastebasket with a sign on the side that says:
Don't Litter
DISCARD CULT FLIERS
&
DVDs HERE!
...or something like that. Or maybe tape a sign on a convenient public
waste bin if one is nearby?
It is very demoralizing to see people toss propaganda they've just
been given.

See, when it comes to dealing with the cult we agree (see earlier post in
thread).
Would the cult stop giving out the DVDs because we give the public a way to
keep them from adding to an already-existing toxic land-fill problem?

Loved it, much kudos to all involved. I see the bagpipes are becoming
ubiquitous.
Best regards
