Just a quick note, as I’d forgotten to update to say that the next regular London Monthly Protest is this coming Saturday, the 15th of August.

Next weekend, (Friday 10th, Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th) are the European Megaraid – Anons from across Europe are coming to visit and join in an extended weekend of protesting against Scientology.

More details are up at megaraid.tk and on the WhyWeProtest forum.

UPDATE: There’s now a nice Rough Schedule to help you follow the what-where-when of the different events happening over the weekend. (PDF version for printing out)

The Saturday will follow the same pattern as our normal London Monthly protests. If this will be your first time protesting with us in London, you might want to check this little video of how to get to the first protest location.

Two former executive-level Scientologists, Mike Rinder and Marty Rathbun, have spoken out to the St. Petersburg Times newspaper about their personal experiences of being at the very top levels of Scientology’s management.

The SP Times are running a three-part special about Scientology, its leader David Miscavige and the death of Lisa McPherson. The first part is out now, with the rest to follow on Monday and Tuesday.

Current indications are that the next regular Monthly protest against Scientology in London will be on the 20th of June. (See WWP forum thread).

The following month will be the European Megaraid (Saturday 11th of July), with visitors from far and wide coming for a fascinating cultural exchange of ways to protest against  Scientology’s fraud, abuse and lies. (Further posts on that to follow, see megaraid.tk for more details)

The next Big Monthly London Protest is tomorrow (as of this posting), Saturday the 16th of May. The weather looks a bit poor so plan accordingly – and there’s a bunch of tube line closures too. See Protest In London for general info.

Apologies for the short notice – I could’ve sworn I updated earlier, back when the date was initially picked for May, but I guess not.

WhyAreTheyDead.net was, for a very long time, a major resource about deaths believed to be related to Scientology. Recently it dropped offline and nobody’s been able to get hold of the site’s creator.

So, on a strictly temporary basis, there’s a mirror of a large amount of the WhyAreTheyDead content now up at http://badcult.info/watd/

The next Standard Monthly protest against Scientology in London will be Saturday the 18th of April.

Theme-type stuff is still being figured out over in the planning thread at WhyWeProtest.Net.

(St. Pauls tube is expected to be open for April. Blackfriars remains closed. Goodge St should also be available.)

March 14th is the next London Monthly. We’re reprising Operation Party Hard.

(No more Blackfriars tube until 2011, AND St Pauls will be closed that weekend as well. I’d suggest Mansion House tube on district/circle line – it’s one stop to the East of Blackfriars.)

Hopefully, I’ll be able to attend this one in person and do live-blogging and possibly even stream some live video too.

Looks like the next major London protest against the criminal cult of Scientology will be on Saturday 7th of February 2009.

This will mark the one-year anniversary of the current wave of worldwide protesting against Scientology’s fraud and abuse. It is currently expected that this will again follow the standard London format – and, as always, please check TheTube.com for travel information closer to the time.

We know in advance that Blackfriars Tube will be unavailable on this date, so you’ll need to go to St Pauls tube and then walk. Here’s a map of one possible walk-route. Tottenham Court Road is unaffected.

Planning for these events happens in many different places, but you could start at this forum thread.

The general consensus seems to be that London will be doing their main Monthly protest on Saturday the 17th of January, 2009.

At the moment, it looks like it’ll be following the standard pattern. At the time of writing, it looks like Blackfriars, Tottenham Court Road and Goodge Street tube stations will all be open and available.
