Sydney October 23 Postraid

It was a very eventful raid. We were few in number, but we had Xenu on our side. We approched the org and as we did, we were among about 30 publics (and a young teenager in an IAS jacket) as we finished our last stride to the org.

As usual, Sheila and Carla did most of the serious enturbulation, being the exes. They had more people than usual there to handle us. I had a 2 women approach me to ask why we were protesting and Carla was approached by Tojo and another older man.

Later when Mal photographed one of the Scilons, he went to one of the younger police officers who told me to delete the photo (It was my camera). I refused. Another senior police officer then came onto the scene and told the Scilon he had no right to request photos be deleted.

That same scilon then made what was probably a fake phone call to his 'lawyer' mentioning Mal's full name within earshot of Mal. A few minutes later, he did the same thing to me. So it appears he was not really an advocate of privacy and he deliberately deceived the police. The officer he targeted was new. It was an obvious ploy to slow us down and to say 'you might have photos of us, but we know who you are.'

Sheila did an amazing speech on the history of the IAS and why people should keep their money to themselves and Edward Dickey hit the roof. He began his own protest with a megaphone advising us that we should be protesting whaling instead of Scientology. The police had to tell him to get on his side of the street.

They were more desperate than ever. And it is no surprise. At the LRH birthday event, our estimates of turnout were 200-300. At this event, our estimations varied from 80-150. There really were half the people there and twice the Sea Org security presence and twice the handling.

Many of the people at the event were unfamiliar to us, so we aren't sure where they may have been shipped from. Most of the people there were Taiwanese and we suspect many of these were Sea Org workers. It would not be unreasonable to say that half of the people there were on religious visas from Taiwan and most came in the last year or two.

One big button was the IAS being off-source. The other was Rex Fowler. They are already briefed on how to handle this at a protest. Probably because it works so well.

On a pleasant note, Karen Neil was very well behaved. She made me so proud.

As an aside, at our protest on month ago, I did no postraid on WWP. Fatman got bullbaited (assaulted again) and the cops didn't see the incident, only his reaction. Fatman was arrested, Edward Dickey was not.

There is some dispute as to our conduct and the conduct of the police. PC Miller, who had previously been wearing a uniform with the wrong rank at the mike-in-pipe raid, and whom we were told would never be at another raid was called in to adjudicate between us and the arresting officer.

As with the mike-in-a-pipe incident, he did nothing. We were moved on. There were no charges and no paperwork. After the raid, I found I managed to accidentally pop off a photo of Edward Dickey grabbing the megaphone before I started videoing. Unfortunately, it was too late. We were already gone.

Also before anyone asks, Fatman is going to find out what happened at the assault hearing. He promised. We will post footage soon.

I'd say it was proportionately similar attendance at the Shrine event in L.A. About half (or less) of the people I saw at the LRH birthday event, and twice the handlers. Smurf was there, and he video'd. He'll probably start a thread on it in a minute. I just got home from there.

I'm simply amazed that a comparative handful of us have made such a difference in their numbers. :ohmy:

Just think what could happen if everybody who wanted to go to a protest actually did it.

I told you I was trouble

Thank-you, that is a great write up Edward ... and it sounds as if you hit a few Rex Fowler and IAS buttons that may need flattening, you'll be doing them a favour if you poke at those hard and loud next time (and in subsequent raids of course).

I just looked at the dates. That is half the numbers in 6 months. If these numbers continue, we won't be protesting for much longer. This is where I think we need to be worrying about the cool-aid problem.

Also, I'm not Edward. I don't think Edward is allowed on the boards.

Right, I was talking about Edward Dickey when I said "lol, good one Edward!".
The "protest whaling" thing just made me smile, even he thought it was lame judging by that little smile he let slip.
Hardline scientologists get a kick out of being naughty.

I dunno, Racecar. Tojo said there were thousands of people already inside. Thousands, really. And I'm sure he wouldn't lie. :whistling:

I also didn't realize that my second handler, Nigel, was Nigel Grey from NZ, Bill Grey's brother and Bill Grey's son. They were asking me about disconnections I knew about personally. I mentioned the Greys. He did not let on this was HIS family.

Oh well, I know now. And I know his family history, too. So now he can go into hiding with Vicky Dunstan and Virginia Stewart.

We had about 50 people on Elron Way in 1998. After that, it was fairly common to see 2 or 3 people. Sometimes more, but, not 50.

Lucky for us, we didn't have to justify our *stats* :)

:roflmao:

Thousands?:dieslaughing:

Tojo actually said thousands? :hysterical:

Nigel was lurking at Canberra earlier this year I think when you and others went to Parliament House to lobby - I thought I saw Bryan Seymour ask him why he was lurking in the shadows taking photos of critics.

Dead cult is very, very dead.

Virginia just looks very ill last appearance on TV - hope she's getting adequate rest and food.
