Before the protest: Suggested video for newcomers to the Anonymous movement

I did not made this video. It's being on since eternity. None the less, it's a good reminder especially for newcomers to the Anonymous movement.

Transcript of the video :

Rule #0: Rules #1 and #2 of the internet still apply. Your memes are not, at this juncture, something that the real world can appreciate. Although meme speak between fellow Anonymous is acceptable, focus on the target and keep it to a minimum.

Rule #1: Stay cool.

Rule #2: Stay cool, especially when harassed. You are an ambassador of Anonymous. Although individuals trying to disrupt your demonstration will get on your nerves, you must not lose your temper. Doing so will harm the protest and tarnish the reputation of Anonymous.

Rule #3: Comply with the orders of law enforcement officers above all else. Doing otherwise is harmful to the demonstration as a whole and may compromise your performance as a human being. Do not request badge numbers unless you are being treated in a very abusive manner, as doing so will anger officers.

Rule #4: Notify city officials. Most jurisdictions either have rules about public protests, or would prefer to be notified that they are taking place. Know the rules for your jurisdiction and abide by them.

Rule #5: Always be across the street from the object being protested.

Rule #6: In the absence of a road, find another natural barrier between yourself and the target of protest. Doing so will make it more difficult for individuals hostile to your cause to come and harass you.

Rule #7: Stay on public property. You may be charged for trespassing if you do not.

Rule #8: No violence.

Rule #9: No weapons. The demonstration is a peaceful event. Your weapons. You will not need them.

Rule #10: No alcohol or pre-drinking. Violating this rule may easily precipitate a violation of rules 1 and 2.

Rule #11: No graffiti, destruction, or vandalism.

Rule #12: If you want to do something stupid, pick another day. These should be self explanatory. Violation of these rules during a demonstration will tarnish the reputation of Anonymous, harm the demonstration itself and leave you vulnerable to attention from law enforcement.

Rule #13: Anonymous is legion. Never be alone. Isolation during a protest marks you as a target for handlers who wish to provoke an angry reaction from you and other hostiles. In keeping with this principle...

Rule #14: Organize in squads of 10 to 15 people.

Rule #15: One or two megaphones per squad. A megaphone is helpful for maintaining the overall cohesion of a demonstration and spreading your message. However, too many will confuse the public and render you hearing impaired.

Rule #16: Know the dress code. Forming a loose yet reasonable dress code for protest members will help to maintain cohesion and get the public to take you seriously.

Rule #17: Cover your face. This will prevent your identification from videos taken by hostiles, other protesters or security. Use scarves, hats and sunglasses. Masks are not necessary, and donning them in the context of a public demonstration is forbidden in some jurisdictions.

Rule #18: Bring water. A dehydrated, thirsty Anonymous is not a useful Anonymous.

Rule #19: Wear good shoes. Following these rules will assure your comfort during the demonstration. Keep in mind that demonstrations may often be quite lengthy.

Rule #20: Signs, fliers, and phrases. Have yours ready. Make sure that signs are large enough to read. Also ensure that the text on your signs and your phrases are pertinent to the target of the protest.

Rule #21: Prepare legible, uncomplicated and accurate flyers to hand out to those who wish to know more regarding the motivations behind your actions.

Rule #22: Document the demonstration. Videos and pictures of the event may be used to corroborate your side of the story if law enforcement get involved. Furthermore, posting images and videos of your heroic actions all over the internet is bound to generate win, exhorting other Anonymous to follow your glorious example.

Hello Anonymous.

Welcome to the Anonymous Basic Protest Training Programme. This programme was designed to allow each and every member of Anonymous to extract the maximum amount of lulz with the minimum risk of fail. Remember, here at Anonymous we believe, that if at first you don't succeed, you fail.

Pay attention, at the end of the programme there will be cake.

Now, let us commence training.

There are cult hives in almost every major city in the world. Check the links, or use google. Anonymous may have already organized a protest in your area. Do not visit official scientology websites to find their location, they will trace your IP address.

If you are unable to travel, you can still contribute by:
Spreading word of the protest.
Contacting the media.
Disseminating Anonymous propaganda.
Designing leaflets, posters, or flyers.
Or by taking part in the online campaign.

Bring cake. Wear comfortable shoes. Bring a camera. Carry a sign. Download and print out leaflets to give to passers-by. Bring music; Chocolate Rain, Rick Astley, and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. But most important of all, wear a mash. It is essential to remain Anonymous. Remember, Anonymous is no one. Individuality is incompatible with Anonymous. Rely on the whole. Be part of the whole. Avoid the one.

Remember, being identified as a critic of scientology can have dire consequences. Find out from Anonymous if masked protest is legal in your area. Use the links. If not, a scarf and sunglasses will suffice.

Do not protest directly outside the cult. This is not Habbo Hotel. It will be considered aggressive.

Instead, protest across the road from the cult. This way if a scientologist approaches you, and tries to cause trouble, the local law enforcement will view him as the aggressor.

Be wary, there is an official scientology practice called 'Bull-Baiting' sanctioned by L Ron Hubbard. The Scilon will act as aggressive as possible in an attempt to provoke critics into attacking him. Do not respond, do not threaten or even insult him. If confronted by a Scilong, film the lunatic and post it on Youtube. Or better yet, recount the Xenu story. This will make him walk away quickly. It is Scilon law that no one is allowed to hear the Xenu story unless they have paid the tens of thousands of dollars necessary otherwise it will cause them to catch pneumonia and die.

The cult will try to infiltrate some of it's members into the protest and cause trouble. This is in the hope that the police will stop the protest down. Distance yourself from any troublemaker. Wait for your local law enforcers to take the Scilon spy and have him party vanned.

On your way home from the protest, make sure you are not being followed by undercover Scilons.

Always respect your local law enforcers.
Never use violence
Never threaten to use violence
Do not throw anything.
Do not insult anyone

Congratulations, you have passed the Anonymous Basic Protest Training Programme. As promised, here is cake, delicious and moist.

Remember you have the right to protest.

As long as it is peaceful, we cannot be stopped.

As long as we are faceless, we cannot be stopped.

As long as we are leaderless, we cannot be stopped
