Anonymous v. Scientology

For those that do not know, Gregg is a driving force behind www.whyweprotest.net as well as several Anonymous videos.  In March, the cult filed criminal trespassing charges against him, even though he was nowhere near the building in question.  You see, Gregg was the person who had signed for Boston's protest permits, so they decided to go after him.  The trespassing charge has since been dropped, but Scientology keeps coming back and throwing more and more ludicrous charges his way.  Some are thrown out immediately by the judge, but others are taking longer to deal with.  Last Friday was another day in court, and as is to be expected, the cult managed to get the date extended yet again for a few weeks from now. This is how they win court cases - they just bleed their opponents dry until they can't afford legal representation anymore. To that end, we've set up a paypal account to accept donations to Gregg's case.  He is out there on the front lines fighting Scientology and potentially setting a precedent for cases to come.  Now more than ever we all need to band together and show him that he is not going this alone.  Whether you can only spare $5 or $500, know that he deeply appreciates your support, both financial and emotionally.

PBS Interview with Gregg, his lawyer, and a Scientology Representative

Right now we are trying to get about $2500 put together for him. It's a pretty steep goal to be sure, but we are going to do our best to spread the word that once again Scientology is trying to bully someone around. We cannot allow them to continue like this, someone has to take a stand. If you are concerned about revealing your identity by using paypal, we have a few other options for you.

• You can go to just about any store and buy a pre-paid VISA card for various amounts.  Purchase that with cash, and then return to the donate page.  Put in any "Anonymous" name, address, etc that you want, and use the pre-paid CC to donate - you don't even need a paypal account!  For further obfuscation be sure to use a new temporary email account for notification.UPDATE: So it seems that Paypal will reply with "Failed Authorization" if you attempt this without a paypal account. What you have to do is a bit more complex, but that is the price of anonymity, no?
  
  1. Create a new email address, there are several websites that also specialize in temporary addresses.
  2. Create an account on paypal using a made up name, address, etc using this new email address, and linking your prepaid CC as your primary form of payment.
  3. Paypal will make a few transactions that you will need to verify. The giftcard will have a website address on it that you can use to view transaction information. Once these paypal charges arrive, verify your paypal account.
  4. You are now the owner of an Anonymous paypal account linked to that gift card, and can donate safely.
  
  Remember - donating to Gregg's legal defense is NOT ILLEGAL. You aren't hacking the pentagon here, so use your best judgement. We only provide this method as a means for the truly paranoid.


• If that sounds like a lot of work, and you intend to show up to this month's global in Los Angeles then you'll be happy to hear that we will have a donation box.  Be sure to bring some cash with you and drop it in the box that NoirAngeles has been kind enough to volunteer to walk around with.  If you don't know who that is, just ask around and someone will point you in the right direction.
