Today - the Ides of March - is the day Julius Caesar was betrayed by those he trusted.

Today we gather together to call attention to another betrayal of trust - that of the Church of Scientology upon its followers.
 * Chanon 21:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC) ''REMOVED: (As Anonymous) (uneeded, made awkward flow of words, not all will be anonymous)

Since its inception, Scientology has traded in false hopes and promises, betrayed the trust of its members, taken their money, their rights, and at times their very lives.

The Church has lied to them. The Church has lied to the world.

The Church betrays the trust of its members when they demand members disconnect from family and friends who question the church.

The Church betrays the trust of its members when they discourage the taking of prescribed psychiatric medications, a practice which has led to a number of murders and suicides.

We speak to you, Scientologists: Re-examine the facts you have been told.

How is your money spent?

Why does David Miscavige demand so much of it?

WE have our OWN Miscavige – Jenna Miscavige Hill, David’s niece, who stands with us today.

Like the Berlin Wall, the wall of silence around the LIES of the Church of Scientology falls.
 * Chanon 21:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC) ''Changed: wall of silence and will fall to "Walls of silence and Falls." Rhymes, flows nicely. sounds good. [also incorporated line breaks for the entire paragraph meaning that I put empty lines between them]

Just like the East German government of the past, the Church has its own secret service.

It spies on its own members.

It encourages its own members to betray others for being “out ethics”.

It blackmails members.

It has a dirty tricks division to spy on and silence outside critics.

"Upstat", privileged members have abused women and children with impunity. The Church has attacked its enemies with frivolous lawsuits, harassment, kidnappings, and countless suspicious deaths.

Kidnappings, harrassment, frivolous litigation, and countless suspicious deaths occur at the hands of this organization again and again.
 * Chanon 20:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC) ''[ed - harassing lawsuits]



This world holds no place for organized crime perpetrated on this scale. Last month ten thousand people demonstrated in one hundred and seven cities across the world to make the first breach in that wall of silence. Today we are on the streets again, our numbers ever increasing, and we will come again in April, in May, in June, and July. We will come until that wall of silence is RUBBLE! We are Anonymous. We are legion. Expect us!
