As an Anonymous supporter I go to great lengths to protect my identity. I know if I don't that I'll be seeing white vans with tinted windows in front of my house. That I'll be hearing threats of violence over the phone. That I'll be receiving notifications that I'm going to be sued. And I know that Scientology will be the one behind them all.

I was really hesitant to post the following set of pictures more so for my own safety, but this person who escaped from Scientology showed me that if I don't commit fully then there is no point.

To protect anyone's identity, exposed faces have been chopped.

It was a very cold February 10th, very cold indeed. This was the day of the rally, I hadn't been able to sleep in two days since finding out about this. I was too busy selling what few video games I had left in order to fund parking fees and picket materials. It was about 7am when my mom woke up and I told her where I was going, her words to me were, "Dress warm and don't do anything stupid."

Heeding her advice I put on an old dirty t-shirt, one that would cover my body well, a dirty sweater and my leather jacket. I wore my favorite winter hat, and my driving gloves. To conceal my face I wore an old pair of sun glasses and wore a scarf my aunt had knit me over my face.

I arrived at the meeting place a full thirty minutes early, the cold was biting and the wind was merciless. I stood there for over half an hour wondering if I was going at this alone. The website I went to said there would be others but only a few people were seen waiting around and they too soon left.

A little past 10am some people wearing Guy Fawkes mask stepped off a bus and I was no longer alone. More comrades filtered in and soon our ranks swelled to about twenty. At about 10:30 am we made our short trek to the Scientology center. The protest had began.

Soon after my entire body was frozen and my muscles screamed in protest to the strain (my knees still don't work properly). I was standing on the side walk across the street from the "church" when I saw another bus coming down the street. This wasn't unusual or unexpected since our protest site was next to a bus stop. But this was different, the maintenance hatch was up and coming right towards us!

I jumped back as it passed me and barely avoided being hit, but sadly three others were not so lucky. The first had his sign cleaved in half, the second had a nasty gash along his stomach, and the third was hit straight in the chest. He was swept off his feet and knocked to the ground. He became known as Bus-Chan.

Someone dialed 911 and we moved him to the back lines. The bus driver that hit him was quoted to police as saying, "It's only protesters." Nonchalantly running over three people is quite a new feat for the local bus agency, but sadly I'm not surprised.

Aside from the bus incident, we had no further complications, in fact Bus-Chan's sacrifice brought our cause to the attention of the local media. The Scientologists got many good pictures of us and we in turn got many of them.

Our protest was not the only one, not by far. Between 7,000 and 10,000 people around the globe protested Scientology. And nor will this be the last. On March 15th at 11am there will be another protest. And with as many dedicated people as we have, this will go on until Scientology is no more. All I ask of you is this, visit the facts, learn the truth here [link]

Remember this. Knowledge is free, seek the truth.

That's some scary shit you're telling us. I've done some research of my own anf found the false religion entirely wanting - nevermind the freakish scandals involved. God bless you for standing up and doing what you've done.

Though i don't really care for 4chan, i love the Anonymous. They symbolize the face of the people, they are united (though 4chan somewhat ruined my joy of Anonymous), this is great!
