There are rumours circulating that a Scientologist had to be escorted away from the protest by police, and may have been arrested, in Adelaide. Here's one source and another. 2008-02-10T10:51:46ZUntitled entry permalink

Scientology protest in Sydney attracts 200 2008-02-10T09:26:35ZTitled entry permalink

The protests outside Scientology churches are attracting international media attention and they've barely even started yet. Take a look at News.com.au on photos of the Sydney protests, coverage and the Adelaide protests. There's also YouTube video and Flickr pictures.

Keep an eye out on the Evil, Evil Scientology Pool.

There has also been an fake story circulating of violence at the anti-Scientology protests - see here (and on Digg).

Other media coverage so far includes Wikinews.

I'm fully in support of these protests. Scientology is a dangerous organisation which uses the credulity of it's members to extract cash in a way that goes above and beyond almost any other religion. Humanity would be greatly improved if the Church of Scientology were to disappear. Have a look at Xenu.net and Whyaretheydead to see why. They use tactics to silence critics - as we saw today with the publication of fake news (which has pretty much failed!).

Photos from Berlin protest. There's been live video all morning from London, and it's still going. About 300-400 people turned up in London - more video here. And lots more pictures are up here and on Flickr.

Looks like the East Coast is about to start.

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.
