National Post publishes my “Violence at anti-Scientology protest”
Monday, October 5, 2009 19:07A little over two weeks ago I was contacted by members of Anonymous in Halifax who had a shocking experience to relate to me while protesting against the Cult, excuse me Church of Scientology. It was so revolting I wrote up a piece and submitted it to the Holy Post. I don’t believe the site has featured much on Scientology so it seemed like it was about time to introduce them to it.
The full piece can be found here: “Justin Trottier: Violence at anti-Scientology protest”
It starts:
I’ve often been puzzled by the international and well-attended protests against the Church of Scientology, led by the leaderless internet group known as Anonymous since early 2008. Why target this specific religion? Why engage in protests without public spokespeople? And why wear those silly Guy Fawkes masks?
Now I have an answer, at least to that last question.
A disturbing story of what happens when an organization has a “Fair Game” policy that legitimizes destruction - of any form - against those who oppose it. It’s also interesting that Scientology never returned my call for answering my questions. Why would they? Another policy forbids talking to journalists or anyone merely curious about the… Church.

I think there is something obviously wrong with the law here. It strikes me as unfair, and stupid, that these two groups can constantly bait each other into illegal action.

Yes, don’t dare ask them questions or they’ll call you a hate monger. That’s if you’re lucky. If you’re unlucky, they investigate you and start dishing dirt on you to whoever they can meet. They’ll come to your neighborhood and picket in front of your house. They’ll flier your neighbor’s houses with bad info about you. Like any religion, right? IT’S A CULT!
