Come picket Scientology in San Francisco! We picket on the first Saturday of every month, rain or shine, from noon - 2 pm. Spontaneous pickets elsewhere in the Bay Area happen occasionally, too, so feel free to email if you're in the Bay Area and would like to picket. See http://www.scientology-lies.com for more.

12-2pm at the SF org. Signs, flyers, all your favorite hits.
BYOBT.

Here's an idea; I'm sick and tired of my college campus being littered with personality tests and anti-humanitarian and psychology sentiment. This message is to anybody living in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley:

HELP ME FREE OUR COLLEGES FROM THE CULT OF GREED!

I propose that we get a group together, and with the help of the college faculty (who also generally dislike scientology), we set-up a Operation Clambake table that visits colleges all over the valley informing people of the threat scientology represents to free-thought and democratic ideals. Lets send them the message that we will no longer tolerate their criminal activity among and in our academic community!

If anybody else is interested, please feel free to reply to this post with more information. Thank you,

Free Thinker

Anybody planning to counterpicket?

Those of us who are following the Lisa McPherson Wrongful Death case in Florida (the Scientology-induced negligent death by kidnapping of and withholding proper medical care, to put it politely, from one of its own members - ostensibly to keep her away from the "evil psychs" they abhor and are planning on picketing at the S.F. APA meeting on May 19th -
are interested in hearing this.

Please keep posting this information, Anonymous. The whole sad and criminal shambles can be viewed at the above link and also on many other websites, including here on FactNet as well as

Folks, this is the cult with front groups like CCHR, Narconon, Criminon, Able, Wise, etc etc. etc., you can count on at least 10 hands.

Find out how you, in your community, can help put a stop to this octopus. And keep vulnerable family members away from this cult scam; that's when they want them, when they're vulnerable, and that's when they get them, however bright they are.

Good for you. I wish I could be in San Francisco on May 19 for a counter picket.

Scientology has flown banners saying, "PSYCHIATRY KILLS". May I suggest picket signs saying "SCIENTOLOGY IKILLS" wuth a picture and/or name of a specific Scientology victim, i.e. Lisa McPherson, Noah Lottick, etc. For handouts.....a brochure detailing how the victims of Scientology died.

That picket of the American Psychiatric Association is reported here, too, #3 in their news posts. What people don't realize is that Psychiatry was L. Ron Hubbards #1 competitor for "business". Nothing to do with "religion". But gotta hand it to him for cunning, eh? Make your Dianetics book into a religion when it didn't convince the Psychiatric community of its brilliance back in the 1950's.

Here's what Scientific American said about it at the time:

A few more reviews of L. Ron Hubbard's "Dianetics" when it came out.

Psychiatrists mainly ignore the Scientologists. I doubt their picket will have any effect on San Franciscans other than to make fools of themselves.

Possible L. Ron Hubbard response to his critics:

You don't like what I'm saying? Well no, I won't submit it for any scientific or academic peer review, are you kidding, they might find out I'm a total fraud, just like my naval career and my flunked out college physics class. So. I'll just put another marketable label on it in these times of great change and shift from mainstream religion, and call it....Scientology Religion.(TM) (C)
Copyright and trademark it and sell it for BIG BUCKS!

CCHR aims to assemble 2,000 Scientologists in San Francisco on May 19th, 2003 to picket the APA conference..
Now with Scientology focusing on getting that many people, possibly flown in, to make the news, it would be a perfect time for a counter demonstration right outside Flag headquarters in Clearwater. Scientoloy has blue t-shirts saying "Psychiatry Kills", the counter demonstration could have black t-shirts saying "Scientoloy Murders".

For those that aren't sure what the difference is between "Kill" and "Murder", Killing takes a life often by accident. Murder takes a life on purpose. Depriving someone of their medication can result in murder, not just killing.

Just a thought

There will be a number of psychs there who would have been around at the time Dianetics first came out. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, gets published re either side by the Chron or the Examiner. I imagine they will both be covering it unless the whole sorry topic of scientology is by now a complete bore to them, but considering, too, what CoS does to journalists who appear to be "opposing" them.

Somebody looked up the San Francisco Org on City Search and found this:

Man alive, did the CoS pick the one wrongest city in the world to pull this stunt in.

San Francisco lives to picket.

Party is on.

I wonder how many clearly labelled OT processing commands it would take on signs to make a thousand or so of them flee in fear of seeing forbidden words?
