Yesterday’s “flash raid” at the hotel where a birthday celebration was being held for L. Ron Hubbard had an appearance from L. Ron’s great-grandson, Jamie DeWolf (nee Jamie Kennedy).

Scientology is currently classified as a religion by the I.R.S., so it enjoys the right to “free exercise,” and Anonymous has the right to free speech and to assemble peaceably. Fair enough. 

Yesterday’s birthday celebration/protest was ably handled at the sargent level by the SFPD. Hurray for them. Next month will see more protests in front of Scientology HQ at the foot of Columbus Street. When will this end?

This month’s protest against Scientolgy was bigger than last’s. What will next month bring?

As promised, the group Anonymous showed up in numbers underneath the Transamerica Pyramid. How many? Well, more than last time. Call it hundreds.
