Our first full day at this conference and we've been followed all the way from our hotel to the meeting spot by a 'cleaning' van full of private detectives. Later I think we might go skinny dipping just to give these slimy snake bastards something to photograph. The stories I've already heard out here are heavy and heart-breaking, mothers with dead sons, sisters who've lost their family, the oppressive dread of fighting a cult mafia. Someone has to.

I have been thinking about this whole thing, and it's like a Shakespearian play. This woman dedicated so much time, and apparently money to this event...but because of her arrogance and personality she turned many people against her.

It's sad but not surprising.

I feel bad for her, but also not.

On the one hand, to organize such an event, you have to be confident, ignore naysayers, kick ass. On the other hand, you have to be sensitive and rational. She had the one side, but not the other. She was key to it's success, but also her personality guaranteed a falling out. Probably it's a pattern in big events like this.

Yeah, good assessment. I know someone who has been in event management for many years. It is rife with personality stuff. The man I know is ultra successful at it cos his people skills are extraordinary, his attention to detail exemplary and he has at least 3x back-up/contingency plans for every move he makes. He makes it look easy but behind the scenes he works his butt off, delegates hard and rarely, if ever, pisses anyone off cos he's handling major sponsors money.

Post by a retarded troll (new account) on WWP tonight..

Why do you think that you are so important that your presence at the conference is more important than the on going work of the CW cell? The process server was real. You've crippled the CW cell. How does that serve any propose? Oh wait, I forgot, your agenda is more important than anyone else's, right? Please be warned, anyone acting in concert with Xander or Bunker can and will be served with the injunction. I will not be attending tomorrow. I would like to be able to protest Flag. Those of you who do not care or who are ok with being in competent of court please carry on.

Isn't it obvious that Bunker is trying to get more people served so that he doesn't have to take this to court? None of the original people named on the LMT injunction have challenged it. Why is that? Think people. We are not Bunker's PA. He has not been able to raise funds to fight the injunction so now he is putting it on us. Hope you have some money in the bank Xander because this is all on you. Live with it. FTR Xander, you may want to revisit those days of law school that you missed. You are dead wrong on your interpretation of this injunction. Laughably so.

Mark Bunker responds. :thumbsup:

First off, I don't think my being at the conference is more important than the Anon cell. I think both can exist in the same room at the same time without the injunction sky falling. And to say I am TRYING to get more people served is as absurd a comment as has been posted here. How about you grow some balls and stop being bullied by Scientology. The process server was real but the copy of the injunction he was handing out wasn't which means he committed a crime and that will bounce back at Scientology. It's what I believe is called a footbullet. They are trying to scare you and your knees are knocking,

I guess I can't expect you to be as brave as all the other people who were in that room tonight.

Yawn. One thing Laura is very good at.. playing the sympathy card & explaining away her behavior..not being accountable for it. First, as it has been repeated multiple times on several boards & blogs, the injunction applies to protesting only & the "guilt by association" with individuals named in the injunction is not binding.

I had the same problem several years ago when some anons & myself went to Gold Base to protest. A sheriff's deputy intervened & said he'd arrest me for violating a permanent injunction placed on Keith Henson following a protest he appeared at in Clearwater. The deputy got his info from OSA Legal & after that event, many critics raised Holy Hell with the sheriff's department & the district attorney & my attorney threatened to sue the Sheriff's Department. It resulted in an apology from the Riverside County Sheriff who admitted they fucked up taking Scibats at their word. After that, I protested at Gold Base multiple times without incident.

The info OSA Legal gave to the deputy contained a photo of Keith Henson with a protest sign in front of the Ft. Harrison. In the photo behind Keith, approx 20 feet, you could see me holding a camera (I was working for OSA at the time).

Was this in December of 1997? (You may recall that I had a brief conversation with John Carmichael and Cathy Norman in your presence.)

The drama that was to ensue was foreseen months ago when Laura & another Clearwater anon said they detested Mark & he would not be invited. She enforced that by bringing a cop over to order Mark to leave. That led to her downfall and she deserved it.

Several critics at Flag Down told me today that the atmosphere at the Holiday Inn was much more positive & affirming with Mark Bunker being present.. and Laura not. :)

Sadly, Victoria Britton, whom I looked forward to speaking at Flag Down, opted out & has returned home.

She said she did not feel comfortable talking about her beloved son, Kyle Brennan, at Minnreg Hall because the acoustics were awful among other things.. organizers tried to find a better venue, but had not done so by the time Victoria had to fly back home.

She told me her visit to Clearwater was not a total loss.. she did some intense interviews & met some incredible people. At the end of the day, she & other attendees all had alot of fun and enjoyed each other's company. She said the locals she met with were glad that Flag Down was taking place.

That is sad -- but I'm glad she made the most of it before she went home.

Laura Flynn, sticking to her penchant for nastiness, posted this drawl on WWP tonight.. what a loser. :duh:

No one from the Clearwater Chanology Cell that was started in February of 2008 has anything to do with the Flag Down 2014 conference or the May 10, 2014 Megaraid. None of the Clearwater Chanology Cell members will be in attendance at any of the events for the Flag Down 2014 conference nor will they be in attendance at the May 10, 2014 megaraid.

Anyone claiming to make sure that the "cell lives on" needs to know that the cell remains intact in the hearts and souls of the brave people who took to the streets of downtown Clearwater to face Flag with pure hearts and lulz on February 10, 2008 and that are now literally scattered to the four corners of the earth. It lives no where else. Feeble attempts to pass yourself off as the Clearwater Chanology Cell will be considered a cancer and a lie. Lulz and mockery of your feeble attempts will be delicious. Enjoy your fail.

In all seriousness -- what is this 'cell' today? A few people? We stopped using the term cell here when it went too far under 50, and definitely not when it got under 10. Then it became "us few stragglers" or something, which is nothing to be embarrassed about.

According to a friend that used to be in that "cell".. 4 people, including Laura, though she likes to duplicate the cult's methodology of claiming there's alot more members than their really is. :biggrin:
