Second Mini-Raid March 8th

March 5, 2008 10:26 pm by Munkee_Boy

Due to the unbridled success of the Mini-Raid on 1st of March, and the increasing necessity to raise awareness and inspire action amongst the populace, we are holding another Mini-Raid. Donations are being collected to raise funds for public liability insurance and March 15 is less than two weeks away, the time to promote our cause grows short.

So gentlemen, we once again ask you to don your masks and join us in taking to the streets armed with flyers and a perpetual smile. February 10th was just the beginning. We need more people to stand up if we really want to see Scientology’s tax exempt status removed and it’s criminal abuses of human rights brought to light.

Again we meet on a Saturday, March 8th this time, at 14:00 in Hindmarsh Square near the Griffin’s Head. Depending on numbers a few small groups will then embark on a distribution run in and around the CBD. The groups need to be kept small to avoid the need for Public Liability Insurance as well as giving us a better opportunity to cover more ground.

If you have any suggestions or questions feel free to leave a comment or join us in IRC. A petition has been suggested and may be available to sign if we can come up with appropriate wording. If you are interested your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if I’ll be able to go, might be going out that day. I’ll do my best though, was so upset I couldn’t make it to the last one due to Soundwave.

The only problem is, since I’m not able to make it to 15/3 (band camp, inb4 american pie), I haven’t bothered to acquire a guy fawkes mask. I assume on these mini-raids that’s what we’re meant to be wearing. Are other masks acceptable or should I try and get hold of a guy fawkes one? ^^

hey noticed at TOYS R US in the mall today: $4 white face masks, just plain ghost white face (like the 6 suit guys wore on feb 10 i think)

K mart usually have star wars, superman, batman etc masks but dont take my word for it (think anons are clearing the shelves everywhere lol)

I have 2 guy fawkes masks left un-reserved for the day. If you want one just shoot an email off to david@anonsa.org - they are $15ea, pick-up on the day, pay in cash. There is also another 2 unconfirmed orders, but I’ll only get rid of those if they remain unclaimed on the 15th

Edit: @Dogfood: One small error I noticed was that ‘2pm’ was repeated twice. The green text on the second side should read:

Adelaide
Victoria Square
Starts 2PM - March 15

but apart from that, I love it :)

Second edit: make that 1 left.

@Mr Dogfood: How big were they? The ones we were wearing were pretty uncomfortably small, $6 decorator’s masks from Lincraft.

[edit]Which reminds me, I won’t be able to attend for the 8th, unfortunately.

mr dogfood wrote a comment on March 6, 2008

@ anonymoose - pretty small now that i think about it. they were labelled as ‘childs mask’ - i tried one on, it cups under yr chin and goes barely over to the top of yr eyes i reckon (depending how big yr face is :P)

@ admin - d’oh! to be honest, i did it so quick and with ppl walkign behind my comp, so i hardly even proof read it or anything… will spend some time at home doing a few more flyers, posters etc as its looking less n less likely i can attend on 15 n i wanna contribute somehow - any requests? :P

Munkee_Boy wrote a comment on March 6, 2008

@annonette - No problems with whatever mask you can find. I think only one or two people had the full blown V masks. I myself had a spary mask on, someone had a mask of their own hair, someone else had a gigantic air conditioned welding mask (which was very impressive). Special mention should goto the anon who didnt wear a mask but just painted a mo and goatee on his own face. In short, wear whatever you like, it’s the flyers and the smile that count XD

@Munkee_Boy; Ah ok, lovely. Thanks. Hopefully I can make it, if I can I might just don the dust mask and sunglasses I wore on 10/2 xD

I’ve just made a purchase on eBay for 100 artificial (wooden) roses which I hope will arrive early to mid next week. They were about the cheapest on ebay (equating to 30c each) and the closest I could find to my location. Fingers crossed for fast delivery!

If they arrive on time, I’ll bring them to the raid. If not, I’ll bring some cake :D

They’re not white, as the seller’s out of stock of some colours (!) but are a very light cream colour which look white when against other colour. Good enough for the purpose of the raid. I assumed most would be discarded/wrecked anyway on the day so didn’t get anything extravagant.

I haven’t decided wether I’ll get spare masks yet, but if I get bored I’ll get some spares and start drawing the eyebrows/beards etc on them for the day. I’ll probably be wearing the one I got for the Feb 10 raid from Go-Lo. They’re a bit big for my head though, lol!

I’ve also got a spare mask which I’ll bring to the 8th, and once I get a guy fawkes mask from admin, I’ll have another spare.
They’re the laughing face ones from go-lo.
Anyone coming on the 8th without a mask can have the spare I’ve got.

also @ mr dogfood: Get flyers up everywhere!

Last night I made a whole bunch of A4 signs for the March 15 raid.
A lot of them could be handy on miniraids too (or just for general purpose use).

Got some with anonsa.org on them (ie Adelaide versions):

Then generic ones that can be used in other states or even OS:

For all the fans of firefox’s ad blocker plus, I have also done a NO LOGO version of the posters, so you can choose your own adventure i guess:

1 last thing: fixed up that ‘How Brain Washed Are You?’ card thing too:

Here’s a handout for tmrw - good luck surviving the heat! There’s 4 per A4 sheet (and black or white versions)

This is a more direct call to action ‘WE WANT YOU” with the Uncle Anonymous pointing photo and details of the March 15 protest action

Hey guise. Hate to hyjack this thread (Anon SA needs its own dedicated forums me thinks).

Have we prepared a copypasta-able press statement? We can give these to a few dedicated anon.

Have the media been tipped yet? And not just the ’tiser and the news networks, but also small papers like the Messenger, Herald, Bunyip?

Lets get geared up…

anon wrote a comment on March 8, 2008

saw you boys in the mall today, didnt realize you were out today.

looking much forward to march 15th.

Anonette wrote a comment on March 8, 2008

Was so upset I couldn’t come (again) but hope it was successful and you wonderfully dedicated people didn’t melt too much!
