Same deal as the other ones, with a few changed to reflect last month's strategy updates.
JULY 12TH - SPY VS SCI
Current plans for Spy VS Sci, with sugguested timeline for the protest to ensure maximum safety, maximum effectiveness, and maximum fun. Thread will be updated as we come up to present time.
For reference, Google Map Link is
here.The theme this month is lampooning the OSA, which is the Church of Scientology's wanna be SS or KGB. Overall, this one should be fun with a very James Bond/Get Smart/Secret Agent theme to it.
Sugguested attire is suits or secret agent stuff - but considering it's going to be in the middle of July, hawaiian shirts and the like may be a better choice to give the secret agent theme and stay cool
CURRENT PLANS ARE AS FOLLOWS, AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE:11:00 AM: Meet at the fountain in front of Horton Plaza, same place we always do. A few members of Anon that have attended previous protests will address the group for the benefits of all involved, both first timers and veterans alike. The San Diego Police may be there, but given that they trust us with now six months of peaceful protesting, probably not. This is important, as the information can protect you against Fair Game and avoids giving the CoS any ammunition to use against you. Also to be discussed are up to date reports on Fair Game, Scientology tactics, and our own situation here in San Diego, specifically with the Marcab Invasion.
11:15 AM: After the pleasantries, we march
up 4th street to the protest location across the street from the CoS. Make sure that if you have the balls to stay on their side of the street, do
nothing to warrant aggression or undue attention from the police. Do not block their driveway for any reason, and make sure you do not step over the line from the public sidewalk onto the concrete in front of their entranceway. This IS tresspassing and you WILL be arrested -
it's what happened to Gregg in Boston. To ensure no gray area regarding the tresspassing issue, do not approach
their storefront any closer than the bus stop, and we cannot have more than a few anons on their side of the street. We blocked the sidewalk and bus stop last time and the only reason we didn't get arrested or cited was because the cop was in a good mood and we instantly complied with his wishes. Let's not do anything this time to warrant anything other than the police thinking they wasted their time on a phonecall from the Church of Scientology.Let them know we're there, and make sure to take LOTS of pictures of them hiding behind their banners trying to take photos of us. The police will most likely be called at this point if they aren't escorting us, so be professional, polite, and courteous to them when they do show up. Please direct them to either myself or Xenubarb, as we're our main points of contact with the SDPD.
12:00ish: March back down 4th to the main protest spot in front of Horton as shown on the map. Get exposure, honk, and have a great time.
DO NOT GO INTO THE PLAZA ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE NBC BUILDING OR INTO HORTON ITSELF, this is a big no no.
Take the group photo for posterity purposes, and spread out to the 8 main protest corners. Try to keep morale up with a boombox/music source and a fresh supply of flyers on every corner, we keep running out!
DURING SEA ARRRGH WE HANDED OUT A COMBINATION OF OVER A THOUSAND CARDS AND FLYERS - MAKE SURE YOU GUYS GO TO KINKOS BEFOREHAND! YOU CAN GET A HUNDRED COPIES FOR LESS THAN TEN DOLLARS, and if you print four to a sheet, that's only $.02 apiece!2:15 - 2:30ish -
March time! This is great exposure, so it's a good idea to do it again! We split into two groups and we march down 4th Street to G, with one group on each side of the street. We always end up handing out info, then cut over to 5th and march back north eventually ending up back at the CoS. This should take roughly half an hour if that.
3:30 - Protest breaks, everyone scatters and heads back to their cars/trollies/buses. Be careful and make sure you aren't being followed.
Stuff to bring:1) Face coverings of some sort - self explanitory, for fun and protection. Make sure that the mask is ventilated and cool, given the heat...which brings us to...
2) WATER! It's going to be hot, and while several anons will be bringing water, STAY HYDRATED. Don't put your health at risk, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WEAR A SUIT. We'll have straws so people can drink through their masks without having to take them off.
3) SUNSCREEN - you don't want the Guy Fawkes masks burned into your face.
4) Cash Money. Everyone knows about the Marcab Invasion right now. If you want to straight up donate, that's fine
Hopefully we'll have come close to our goal by then!
Another good reason for the cash is that it makes buying things easier with no paper trail, and avoids the hassle of trying to convince the cashier that they don't need to see your ID.
Other cities have had CoS plants in coffee shops and restaraunts around the protest spots, so make sure to not take off your mask if you can't help it.
