Mask Preorders

February 24, 2008 4:35 pm by

I’m going to take preorders/expression of interest for masks.

If you are interested in a Guy Fawkes/’V’ For Vendetta mask (only mask, no wig or hat).. I have 15 35 on order at the moment, and I’m looking at a price of about $15.00 each. Postage will be extra, but they will be available to pick up on the day.

Guy Fawkes mask

If you would like one, please email david@anonsa.org. Please do not use the comments to order one, I will not include you in the numbers if I don’t receive an email request.

I will post more information as I get it.

March 15 March Route.

February 20, 2008 1:32 pm by

After reading through all the comments in the previous post about the route, the best course of action looks to be:

  1. Start off at Victoria Square @ 2pm
  2. Walk Down King William Street
  3. Turn Right onto North Terrace
  4. Turn Right onto Pultney Street
    1. (a) A small splinter group of ~30 people will break off and head down Rundle Mall
    2. (b) The rest will head down Grenfall Street
  5. Turn Left onto King William Street
  6. Turn Right onto Waymouth, and then organise out front of the Scientology building

This will all be done in a neat single file line as to not impede foot traffic as well as dramatic effect.

Edit: There is a Christian Science building on the corner of North Tce & Frome St.. These guys are in no relation to Scientology, so please leave them alone.

The Media is our Friend

February 18, 2008 10:42 pm by

Media backlash getting you down? Fret not for the media has apparently helped us with our cause. They have published several factual articles on the negative (and occasionally fatal) practices of Scientology. The following links are stories related to Scientology from the last two years and paint the cult in a less than flattering manner. I, for one, am going to be printing out all of these articles and handing them out to the general public during the March 15th rally. I urge you to do the same as by using the mainstream media as our source the general public will realise our claims are unbiased and based on fact. Now…. For a little light reading:

Please do not forget our main target is the tax exempt status of Scientology. These stories can be part of our defence against the media backlash that is likely to follow. Also remember that James Packer and Kate Cebrano are avid followers of Scientology’s teachings and both have a unique power over the general public. Packer owns the 9 network and many other mainstream media outlets and Cebrano (amazingly) still has many fans in Australia.

To the Public

February 17, 2008 10:13 pm by

Many of you may have heard John Safran’s show on Triple J, in which he interviewed a member of the Church of Scientology. There were many lies told about Anonymous; we feel that these lies should be corrected.

We would like to say to the public, that we are Anonymous. We are not your enemy; we are your friend. We want to stop this dangerous cult, who lie, break up families, and seek to control governments worldwide, among other activites. We’re not violent, we don’t hate, and we don’t commit crimes. We need your help to stop the Church of Scientology before they hurt anyone else.

John Safran’s talks on Triple J:

10-02-2008 [5.60mb] – Father Bob asks for a lot of clarification about the various subjects mentioned surrounding the internet, and kind of goes off topic for most of the discussion.

17-02-2008 [9.45mb] – Cyrus from the Church of Scientology speaks to John Safran & Father Bob.

Do’s and Dont’s for Future Protests

February 15, 2008 10:51 pm by

With the stunning success of February the 10th and the following self-congratulatory period comes, of course, an opportunity for self improvement. With that as justification, I’m going to work on a list of suggestions to be followed for the March in March protest. Comment with ideas and suggestions and I’ll edit them into this post if they’re not ludicrous.

  • Do- Print signs. Or stencil them. Or something that requires some pre-meditation and effort. But signs written in pen or thin texta aren’t visible at a distance of more than a few feet. Additionally, the time you put into planning your sign may be what you need to realise that “Fuck $hoentology” may not be exactly the phrase to draw in the public.
  • Don’t- Give your signs to members of the public. This was at direct suggestion of the police present on Sunday after they were alerted that those two drunken clownboats weren’t actually with us. It makes it all too easy for troublemakers to cause a disturbance and get away with it.

Anonymous Protest Chant

10:28 pm by

Some very clever South Australian anon have managed to come up with something very special for the next protest, they have compiled a pack containing an instrumental track in mp3 format, lyrics & guitar tabs. If you have a guitar, please bring it along to the protest. Even if you don’t, you can still bring your voice along.

Anonymous Chant [5.88mb] (Edit: Changed to ZIP)

Verse 1
- Come gather round children,
And we’ll tell ye a tale,
How Anonymous showed how
Scientology fails.

Verse 2
- On the 10th of the second,
Brave women and men,
Stood up for their freedom,
And we’ll do it again
