There's something fishy going on at the Church of Scientology Los Angeles, and not just the normal fishy Scientology stuff. By the looks of these pictures posted to Flickr by former Scientologist Chuck Beatty, it seems the church is preparing for some kind of nuclear attack. Or maybe just another Anonymous protest. The pictures show stacks of shipping containers in front of the Los Angeles church. Beatty writes that it's a part of "the hiding policy of L. Ron ...

It may be one thing for freedom of expression to be an object of controversy in Canada — which is, after all, a somewhat tenuous experiment in democracy and federalism, one whose final shape and outcome may yet remain to be determined — but it is quite another to see it tormented in Great Britain, the historical anchor of most of the liberties we take for granted.
