Probably have a very similar route, perhaps stopping at the cult center before advancing towards rundle mall.

We might have the same theme as last time, ie tax the bastards, perhaps anyway, we'll have to work that out.

Yeah i got one i can bring. Well last i checked i had one lol.

oooh dam

or have them visibly hooked up to some anonymous, who then makes the required beep boop noises like some demented 1960's sci fi robot.

this.

i'll just leave all these photos of an e-meter here then

Yeah I do agree with Johndoe.. not that an emeter/gullibility mock up isn't a good idea, but in many ways it's not ideal for a raid..

There are more effective ways to exert our energies  and spread our message at a rally / raid at least.

hmmmmm well scilons use e-meters to perform "security checks" on under age kids, working for Scientology for less-than-slave wages…

excellent point, and one worth making people aware of. nobody who deserves to be called a person likes the idea of children being exploited.

i myself have no problem with the term gullibility, although i think using it would do more harm to the cause than good ("these people bellieve this, they r dum lol"), and that is my worry. plus there are tons of worldviews/religions/philosophies, that to me, are just as crazy in their beliefs (read: almost all of them) out there.

of course, the e meter is, i suppose, disconnected from those beliefs, and used as a hook to con people into swapping their hard earned money by making them think that something is wrong with them and that only scientology can help – unethical business practice ahoy!

so perhaps we do the opposite, hook them with a fake stress test (perhaps using the same questions the scilons use, if not then similar loaded/joke questions), claim that they are stressed no matter what answers they give and maybe even offer them choclate or sex or cake (or a combination of the above. choclate sex cake!), some of the best ways to destress ever. then diseminate flyers about how actual e meters are as fradulent as ours – cut off their potential recruits at the source by making them aware that the e meter and the auditing is a trap. prevention is the best cure after all.

this has the advantage of a) being new b) getting the public involved in ways beyond them asking "why the masks?" and 3) nothing, i just like lists of three. i guess the lulz would be good too.

done right, it could work quite well.

re: loose wiring and omg terrist, that is easy. make it so poorly that it appears that the only way to do harm with would be bludgeon someone with it. empty cans hooked up with string and pegs to an anon. bonus points if it is to the nipples.

Good input guys! Firstly as a side, i think generally people may be shy to accept non-wrapped stuff from people in masks.. but hey.. a big cake could be different.. also how do we do it on the go? We kind of can't setup shop so to speak…?

Once upon a time I toyed with the idea of a "FREE HUG" coupon basically saying "feeling stressed?" you need a hug, not a scientology stress test. Then breaking down the stress test and how it works on the back – e.g. it's essentially like a dodgy mechanic offering people free car check-ups. The test may be free but their going to find a bunch of non-existent faults to feed your fears and make you come back to pay for services and repairs for problems you that you don't have and don't need!

Anyway I think it could be a goer, but we'd have to sort this out asap if it's to be our theme. No that we've talked it up a bit I do believe it's doable, but maybe focus not on the religious aspects but that the emeter as a "scientific tool" is flawed and acts as a pseudo science device to market their religion. Perhaps push the fact the emeter is a religious artefact – they 'believe' it works, and doesn't actually scientifically do anything. Perhaps hand out pictures of the emeter with large labels saying whatever the chief american engineer demanded be stuck on it when they started claiming it cured cancer etc..

of course, we would also need some lulz questions

"on a scale of 1 to garfield, 1 being strongly like and garfield being an orange cartoon cat, how do you feel about mondays?"

"have you ever, ever felt like this/when strange things happen/are you going round the twist?" <- sung, of course

"do you ever forget what you are saying during a… pineapple? hedgemaze? SENTENCE!"

i was thinking about making a mockup after thursday (payday) that would consist of a scale with some smileys ranging from happy, neutral and sad and a needle that we can move around this. no matter their answers, it must land on sad. made of cardboard, with some fake dials glued on and worn around the neck. very portable this way.

i was also considering making some simple "hello my name is…" nametags. this can either just be anonymous, but was partial to the idea of "hello, my name is legion, for we are many". if anyone is interested, drop me a pm.

capital idea, good sir! shouldn't be hard to find pics of tom cruise looking dangerously insane either

blockposters.com and a photocopier should take care of the rest >:)

Another thing i've been thinking about was poster and pickets etc, we really dont have a lot of them in our raids. I think short/simple posters/banners will do the trick. it

Scientology KILLS. find out more – *link here etc*

Saves people asking wtf is going on, just having scientology and kills next to each other sorta makes people take interest, wouldn't you say?

we def could use moar visible signage while we walk along… esp when its only a small group raiding

short, punchy statements lacking in ambivalence are the best ways to communicateour purpose. ppl get the message without needing to take a flyer.

also, might be preferred method of communication for anons who dont like talking to the public :)

Hmm yeah, thinking about it, it might be a little radical lol. But you get the idea, something to catch the eye, obviously KILL is going to get attention, but like you said probably not the best option.

I like Thetan's idea. Burning a couple hundred CD's with some facts and dox on it could be good. Maybe just ripping a youtube video and converting it to AVI format or something and chucking it on the cd? The video entitled "The un-funny TRUTH about Scientology" could be a good one. Link here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCGP-0545EU or maybe does anyone know of another video that has short sharp interesting facts, saves a lot of time compiling your own video or slideshow. That way creating 100 CD's and printing say what thetan said, the time mag front cover as the CD's cover, would only take a few hours, for the printer/burner to do it all?

Anyway, i still think some bold statements or Hubbard quotes for example, would be good to flash around the public, its more effective then yelling across the street to some guy whos thinking wtf is that mob of losers doing.

I would be hessitant to distribute The Unfunny Truth to randoms on the street. It's quite heavy stuff, and something i'm sure not all people feel comfortable watching, let alone being handed it off the street.

I remember the 1st protest we attended when a nice anon handed us a copy of an information dvd, although it's not directly related to the Scientology Kills theme, it's still a very good starting point. We still have the raw files for that dvd. It's called the Gold -Info-Packet, although it would require some tweeking as new information has come to light. Does anyone know how to print onto cd's?
