FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hello, this is Anonymous.
It has been discovered by Anonymous that several high level managers within the Church of Scientology are currently working in the United Kingdom without the appropriate work permits. They are effectively working and living in the country as illegal immigrants. This information has been passed to the UK Border Agency, which is now mounting an investigation.
This Information concerns the following individuals:
Maia Dube (US Citizen) – CO, Commodore's Messengers Organization UK Janet Laveau (Canadian citizen) - Head of the Office of Special Affairs UK, Scientology's 'Intelligence' division. Bob Bledsoe (US) – CO, Continental Liaison Office UK John Danilovoch (US) – Captain, Advanced Org Saint Hill UK Colin Davie (Australian) – CO, Flag Operations Liaison Office UK Melanie Schwandt (US) - Deputy Religious Technology Centre Representative UK Lucky Story (US) - Executive Director London Org
Information obtained by Anonymous strongly suggests that a scheme to attempt to circumvent the UK's work permit requirements is being used on a regular basis. The source of this information is documentation that was carelessly discarded by a law firm retained by the Church of Scientology in the UK. This information has now been passed to the proper authorities.
The method being used is as follows: members of staff acquire a visitor visa prior to entering the UK; just before this is due to expire, they fly to an airport within France or another EU country; from there they fly to Dublin, or Cork in Ireland; they stay overnight, and get the visa stamped in Ireland, which enables them to travel back to the UK under another visitor visa.
The Church of Scientology will undoubtedly try to attack Anonymous for revealing this information and attempt to discredit said information. This is to be expected. However, journalists and other interested parties should be able to independently corroborate it via other sources, now that the technique used has actually been revealed.
Anonymous is aware that this is a highly serious allegation. However, the UK Border Agency is taking it very seriously, and Anonymous suggests that any journalists who wish to follow up on this story contact the Border Agency for further comments and an official response.
Anonymous also expects these members of staff to be reassigned as soon as the cult hears of this investigation. This may already have happened and if the Church of Scientology attempts to suggest that these people have already left the UK and never worked in the country, then this will be why. However, a paper trail and evidence of their actions will still exist and Anonymous is confident that the UK Border Agency will be thorough in their investigations.
The Church of Scientology has called Anonymous 'terrorists' and have also accused Anonymous of threatening behaviour and crimes; it is rather the Church of Scientology that has neither respect for the law nor personal freedoms. This attempt to circumvent immigration laws is further evidence of this, as are a growing number of assaults on Anonymous members by Scientologists worldwide, several of which have been filmed and documented.
The release of this information and the full co-operation of Anonymous with the UK Border Agency should speak for itself; it will also provide a direct contrast to the Church of Scientology's disregard for anything other than furthering its own cause. Regardless, Anonymous finds humour in the fact that the Church of Scientology's United Kingdom operation has been caught in this way.
Furthermore, Anonymous will be informing other immigration officials across the globe of the current violations in the United Kingdom being committed by the Church of Scientology. Anonymous promised new and invigorated tactics to be revealed on 8-8-08, and as always, Anonymous delivers.
We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.
