"Scientologists appeal French fraud ruling" - RTÉ News, November 3rd 2011

The Church of Scientology is appealing a French court ruling that found it guilty of fraud for fleecing vulnerable followers and fined it hundreds of thousands of euros.

The 2009 conviction saw Scientology's Celebrity Centre and its bookshop in Paris, the two branches of its French operations, ordered to pay €600,000 in fines for preying financially on several followers in the 1990s.

Arriving for the hearing at a Paris court today, the group's spokesman, Eric…

"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.

"Scientology's Dublin branch is on verge of being struck off" - The Mail on Sunday, June 26th 2011

THE Church of Scientology in Dublin could be struck off for failing to file company accounts, the Irish Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The Irish office has failed to file accounts for 2009, which were due in January 2010. Last year's accounts are now also late and a strike-off notice was sent to the church's directors on June 3. If accounts are not filed within two months, the church's assets will be transferred to the State.

The move would be highly embarrassing for the… Continue

"The Appliance of Science" - Irish Sunday Mirror, March 20th 2011

SCIENTOLOGY bosses are trying to brainwash vulnerable people to get at their cash, an undercover Irish Sunday Mirror investigation reveals today.

We went behind the scenes at the secretive religion's four-hour long Personal Efficiency Course last week.

Our aim was to discover just what goes on inside what experts call the biggest cult in the world.

And our findings weren't pretty. Our reporter was told he was depressed, nervous, and unstable, and warned the only…

Vote for the date of February's protest: http://anonireland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=138

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.
