"Court upholds Scientology fraud ruling in France" - The Irish Times, February 3rd 2012

A FRENCH appeals court has upheld fraud charges and a €600,000 fine against the Church of Scientology for cajoling followers into paying large sums for bogus personality tests and cures.

Rejecting the church’s appeal against a 2009 ruling, the court said two French branches of the US-based organisation were guilty of “organised fraud” and gave four of its leaders suspended jail sentences of up to two years.

A French parliamentary committee described Scientology in 1995 as a “dangerous cult”, not a religion, and individual Scientologists had been prosecuted before, but this case marked the first time the organisation as a whole was convicted.

There had been expectations the French courts might ban the group, but legislation passed just before the original trial in May 2009 ruled that out.

The latest ruling found Scientology’s “celebrity centre” and its bookshop in Paris had taken advantage of vulnerable individuals in the…

"Irish Church of Scientology revenues drop by 60%" - The Irish Times, August 2nd 2011

REVENUES HAVE plummeted at the Irish branch of the controversial Church of Scientology, which remains deep in the red.

Membership of the worldwide church, established in 1954, includes movie stars such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

However, documents show that interest-free loans from abroad are propping up the Irish branch, which is more than €688,000 in the red in its latest accounts.

According to financial documents lodged by the Church of Scientology Mission of Dublin Ltd, the company’s revenues more than halved from €484,070 to €193,509 in 2009.

As a result of this 60 per cent drop, the church’s operating surplus fell 74 per cent, from €271,804 to €68,292.

The accounts are for the 12-month period to the end of April 2009, but were only signed off by the board on July 20th last after a long delay by the company in lodging the return.…

May Dublin protest
May 19th, 2011 from 11am to 5pm – 'Church' of Scientology Mission of Dublin Ltd, 64 Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1

Who are we?

Anonymous is a loose collection of grassroots activists dedicated to exposing and raising public awareness of the Scientology organisation. All coordination usually takes place on internet forums and chatrooms; there is no leadership or organisational hierarchy. The men and women who participate rarely know each other's real names, and are united only by their collective outrage at the Scientology organisation’s fraud and abuse.

What have we done?

On February 10th, 2008 Anonymous held its first worldwide picket against the Scientology organisation. Since that time Anonymous has leaked Scientology documents, held monthly protests spanning over 130 cities across 30 different countries and helped bring public attention to the cult’s activities.

Why protest Scientology?

There are many reasons to protest the Scientology organisation. You could protest because of Fair Game, a policy written by Scientology’s founder stating that SP’s (critics of the organisation) ”May be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.” You could protest because of their practice of Disconnection which has split up many families. You could protest because of the many strange deaths associated with Scientology. You could protest because of their attempts to infiltrate governments, their fraud, their deceptive recruiting techniques, their victims and their use of methods that are akin to brainwashing. You could protest for any of these reasons. But what led to Anonymous' involvement was a little act of censorship as the following video explains:

How can I get involved?

First and foremost: educate yourself. The documentaries exposing Scientology on this page make a great place to start. You can also sign up to our forum where we will be happy to answer your questions. Anyone can participate in our monthly protests. If you do decide to protest, we strongly encourage you to wear a mask or otherwise conceal your identify in some way – the Scientologists will very likely try to photograph your face as they have at all our protests. We also encourage you to bring cake, flyers, placards and cake.

What does Scientology say?

According to Scientology press releases, internal leaks and Scientologist comments it appears that they think Anonymous is: A group of bored teenager cyber-terrorist Communist Nazi religiously bigoted Marcarbian mercenary psychiatrists who are funded by the German government, the Catholic church and the pharmaceutical industry.
