Operation Shocktober on October 18th 2008 was the ninth straight month of peaceful global protests against the scientology cult. The theme was zombies, to coincide with Halloween and highlight the many mysterious deaths and suicides of cult members.
All faces of those unmasked are blurred to protect them from the cult's "Fair Game" policy of harassing it's critics. These are brave people of all ages and walks of life, standing shoulder to shoulder with ex-Scientologists to bring the truth TO YOU.

Operation Pedro Pan
On this site, which was officially known as the Florida City Shelter of the Catholic Welfare Bureau’s Cuban Children’s Program, thousands of Operation Pedro Pan children found refuge from Communist Cuba between 1961 and 1966. Operation Pedro Pan was conceived and organized by Monsignor Bryan O. Walsh of the Archdiocese of Miami and James Baker, headmaster of Ruston Academy in Havana, Cuba, at the request of parents who sought to prevent Communist indoctrination of their children. It was financed largely by the United States Government with full support of the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations, and was supervised by the State of Florida. Between December 1960 and October 1962, over 14,000 Pedro Pan children arrived in South Florida. The Florida City Shelter was the largest of the Operation’s facilities in the state. It housed girls 5-19 years old and boys under 13 who lived in home units under the care of exiled Cuban couples who served as house parents. Its day-to-day operations were managed by Catholic priests and Sisters of St. Philip Neri. Many Operation Pedro Pan children went on to plant deep roots in the region and made significant contributions to Florida and the nation.
Operación Pedro Pan
En este sitio, denominado Refugio de Florida City del Programa de Niños Cubanos del Buró Católico de Bienestar Social, miles de niños integrantes de la Operación Pedro Pan recibieron albergue de Cuba Comunista entre 1961 y 1966. La operación fue concebida y organizada por el Monseñor Bryan O. Walsh de la Arquidiócesis de Miami y por James Baker, director de la Academia Ruston, ubicada en La Habana, Cuba, a solicitud de padres que no querían que sus hijos fueran adoctrinados por el régimen. Fue financiada por el gobierno estadounidense, con respaldo de las administraciones de Eisenhower, Kennedy y Johnson y supervisada por el gobierno estatal de Florida. Entre diciembre de 1960 y octubre de 1962, más de 14,000 niños cubanos llegaron al sur de Florida. En el Refugio de Florida City, el mayor del estado, se acogieron niñas entre 5 y 19 años de edad y niños menores de 13. Los menores residían en hogares encabezados por matrimonios cubanos exiliados que fungían como padres. La administración estaba bajo la dirección de sacerdotes católicos y las Hermanas de San Felipe Neri. Muchos niños de Operación Pedro Pan echaron raíces en la región y contribuyeron al desarrollo socioeconómico y cultural de Florida y del país.

As the annual Conservative Party Conference comes to a close, Greater Manchester Police would like to thank attendees, the people of Greater Manchester, and visitors, for another successful and peaceful policing operation.
This multi-agency security operation, codenamed Operation Protector, has been months in the planning and saw thousands of extra people enter the city to attend the event, all of which passed without incident.
Sunday 1 October was the main day for protests, with thousands of protestors marching through the city, and attending a rally. Despite the typical Mancunian weather, spirits were high, and the events went ahead without incident, coming to a peaceful conclusion.
Whilst unrelated to the event, a number of proactive arrests were made in the city centre for a range of offences including driving whilst under the influence of drugs, shop lifting, and a man who was wanted for assault, demonstrating it was business as usual for many officers on the ground.
Assistant Chief Constable Chris Sykes, Gold Commander for the event, said: “Over the past four days, we’ve seen more than ten thousand delegates and visitors come to our city, supporting local businesses and the local economy; it is testament to Manchester being an iconic city for major events.
“As expected, and as in previous years, there were a number of protests throughout the period – notably on Sunday 1 October, which saw around 3,000 people march through the city.
“Security operations of this scale are always complex and require a high degree of multiagency work. With our partners, we have worked tirelessly to protect delegates, enable protests, and keep our city safe, and I am proud to hear such positive feedback about our staff who have performed their duties to the highest of standards.
“And finally, I would like to thank those who live, work or were visiting Manchester during this busy period for their patience whilst our operation was in place.”

BALTIMORE, Md. (September 24, 2011), Elements of the Maryland Defense Force and the Maryland Army National Guard provided health care, legal services and logistical support to more than 210 homeless veterans during “Operation Stand Down” in Baltimore this weekend. The event was organized by The Way Station Inc., in partnership with the State of Maryland, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, various Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs), and volunteer organizations.
“It is our obligation to serve those who have served on our behalf. With estimates showing that on any given night there are as many as 1,000 homeless veterans in our state, it is clear that we must do more to keep these brave Marylanders from falling through the cracks,” said Lt. Governor Anthony Brown. “Events like Operation Stand Down provide an opportunity not only for homeless veterans to get the services and resources that they need and deserve, but an opportunity for the community to come together to give something back to those who have so bravely sacrificed in service to their country.”
Operation Stand Down provided an opportunity for homeless veterans in Baltimore to interact and form ties with peers and volunteers while receiving much needed, specific services. Organizations, private companies and service providers had stations set up throughout the War Memorial Plaza where veterans could learn about what benefits they may be eligible for, receive certain essential services (such as medical, addiction counseling, showers, veteran benefits, housing assistance, clothing, etc.) and be given opportunities for possible training and employment.
