While no one should be surprised that the Church of Scientology has not taken this recent spate of criticism in stride and with measured tones, it is with utter shock and dismay we learned that high ranking officials may be planning to involve children and provoke attacks during the planned protests at Scientology centers in LOS ANGELES and CLEARWATER FLORIDA this Saturday. Assume this applies to ALL centers.

Several reports have surfaced that members within Scientology's Office of Special Affairs, or as its is often referred to OSA, had a secret meeting on March 11th where they discussed plans to turn the previously peaceful protests by Anonymous into a violent confrontation. THIS IS SPECULATION AND HERESAY and therefore is for information purposes only to inform the public. This is NOT verified as true. I repeat, I am NOT able to verify if this is true.

According to information ascertained by someone attending the meeting, CLEARWATER and LOS ANGELES ORGS are planning to disrupt the protests by using the following methods:

"...Scientology is planning to choreograph an incident of violence, using their children. this was implied, I don't have the exact words just the summation, that Scientology wants and desires a confrontation.. they would LIKE to create a riot..

OT committee member and their families, public scientologists and their families are invited for a pancake breakfast at 9 AM... the children will be doing fun things like "Face painting"

If you did not know about the facepainting you might THINK they were demonstrators, right?

The "breakfast will start at 9:30, bring the kids "face painting and clowns"....

Buses will take you at 11 AM to the respective locations of the event, Ruth Eckart Hall in CW and in LA the Shrine..
The LRH event WILL BE this saturday...."

The source goes on to say that the CoS hopes to generate enough confusion and agitate protesters into acts of violence, using the Scientology children as a guise for righteous outrage. They also suggest every precaution be taken to avoid ANY conflict and to be aware of these efforts.

I urge responsibility, civility, calm, kindness and a Ghandi-like attitude when protesting. Do not allow yourself to be provoked, no matter what. Walk away, turn the other cheek. It is important to maintain the high road and be kind, Scientologists deserve compassion and understanding. Peacefully protesting the organization and informing the public is the objective. Obey the law to the LETTER.
