Greetings everyone! Please add this e-mail and ath@socalanon.com to your address books. We're having problems with filters. Thanks!

This will be the final email preluding the July 12th raid. Please pay attention to the information provided. It will make everyone's time easier and more enjoyable come raid day.

Raid Time/Location:
Our raid is scheduled from 5-9pm. If you arrive at 5, please gather near the Red Line (subway) entrance at Sunset/Vermont. The RED ARROW in the attached satellite photo is this location.

Arrivals after 5:30, please head to the Subway restaurant at Sunset and New Hampshire (one block away from the above picture).The GREEN ARROW in the attached satellite image is this location.

So that you are aware, it appears that Scientology has acquired a permits for many of the streets surrounding Big Blue (LRH Way). You can find attached, for printing, an overhead picture showing the areas they have a permit for. The red shows areas close to street traffic (cars), while the blue shows areas closed to sidewalk traffic (us). Red + blue = complete street closure. Do not push these limits. I have also attached a copy of their permits. Feel free to print it out and use it as your reference guide (and as evidence for any law enforcement) as needed.

The YELLOW ARROW and the GREEN ARROW in the attached satellite imagery are the two locations we should try to maintain a presence in during the raid. Please keep in mind you'll have to go the long way around to change corners, given the closures indicated in the image.

Things To Bring:
Please bring about $10 for something special....something worth it. Details will be revealed at the protest. If you do not bring cash, you will miss out. You have been warned! :)

Also bring more fliers. LOTS more fliers. We need things to hand out to the public and to counteract the black PR that Scientology is passing out about us.
And bring more signs. We never have enough. Bring extras. Pass them out. As always, try to avoid the words "Honk" or "Hate" on your signs.

Sign Regulations:
The officers at the last protest warned us that our signs are beginning to push the legal limits. These are the legal restrictions as far as picket signs go. Please make sure that your signs adhere to these guidelines, or you may be asked to take them down or put them away. The law is:
Sticks or poles attatched to signs cannot be thicker than one-quarter of an inch, can be no more than 2 inches wide, and no more than 4 feet long.

Raid Theme:
The theme for our upcoming raid is "Spy vs Sci". This theme is centered around Scientology's Office of Special Affairs (OSA). We will be focusing on OSA with regards to the handlers they send out to "handle" critics and former members, the black PR that they send out against critics (for example, the black PR they pass out regarding Anonymous), the Private Investigators that they hire to gather information on critics, etc. This is not so much about Fair Game as it is about Scientology basically having their own CIA/FBI. Why does a "church" need something like that? We encourage you to show up in your most spytastic outfits. Just NO weapons of any type.

Transportation:
We encourage you to use public transportation (for your safety), and/or carpool to the event. Be sure to park a long ways away from the protest, as we have found that Scientology and it's PIs like to write down license plate numbers and follow people. Don't forget that masks are not allowed on subways, but neither are cameras. Bring a mask and if you see a camera whipped out, hide your face. Medical masks are fine and legal, so consider one of those for the train ride.

We also now have a nice, polished site, ready for use: socalanon.com Please visit the site, and also register on the forums found there. We will be using these forums more and more for SoCal specific information, which includes raid times and locations, media, and other items of interest.

That's it for now. We look forward to seeing you all there! Please reply with any questions you may have.

[flails] so excited! requested the day off already.

or some Green Hornet action

Do ninjas count as a variety of spy? :D (Come on, we've had pirates already, why not ninjas?)

I'm going to reiterate a suggestion I made for April, in that we not just enturbulate the Scilons over in Hollywood, but that we have a party full of lulz and spread more caek and love over in the Valley as well. Maybe do a 1-3pm march in Hollywood (so the Scis can't go bawwing to the cops that we're loitering without a permit or whatnot.) and then end at some park or other where there's a lot of foot traffic that we don't normally reach in Hollywood.

Sure, we get a lot of the tourist traffic over there, and piss the Scilons off, but every weekend the park between Balboa and Woodley in the Valley has tons of foot traffic on the weekends and a good atmosphere for an informative and fun conclusion to a day of protesting. Less touristy, and more average Random Joe Public and family. Plus there's an Orange Line station RIGHT there.

Hmm... even if we just stick to Hollywood for the big global protest, a mini party at the park for a flyer raid could work well too.... must think on this. BBQ-anons could grill up some tasty burgers and hot dogs to go with the cake!

and ladies, we have Agent 99, Mrs Peel, sexy go go girls a la Modety Blaze, Bond Girls, mysterious 1940s type spy women...just wear comfy shoes!

Dooooood spy's are AWSOME!!! X3

Yes, yes and absolutely YES!

DAMN! Yet another opportunity lost to dress as my true calling! :( Gonna be out of state. Gonna miss you all. Two months is too long.

Don't forget Phoenix is coming!!!!!!!!!





.....well, hopefully. I can only hope that people don't flake. We'll see.

Looking forward to hanging out with our counterparts from that city in the middle of the Xenu forsaken desert I kid, been to Phoenix, it's nifty, but good lord it gets hot in the summer... stranded along the highway.

LAnon needs LAnon flags... imagine a crowd of Anons, with the colors of LA and Phoenix flying side by side!

I cant wait :)
Is there a set theme yet?
I wonder what it will be.
You know sooner or later we're gonna have to do a repeat theme.
