Some of the hive of Anonymous gathered in Hindmarsh Square to prepare for a stroll down Hindley Street and some had even handed out all their flyers before they met at the spot at the required time!

Anonymous’ route headed down Rundle Mall, which the reception we got was nothing short of spectacular. Many stopped to discuss the “disconnection” policy of Scientology. The majority whom were flyered were told if they knew anybody effected by the policy to contact us here at AnonSA. We know that a few intend to contact us.

Half way down the mall, we had nearly run out  (approximately) 200 flyers! After some consultation with Anonymous posse we managed to get 300 more, of which we managed to hand out near all of them.

Members of the public are warming to Anonymous.

Families stopped us and requested pictures with members whom were suited and masked with their children; this Anonymous member was personally was in 4 photos. This demonstrates Scientology’s allegations are being heard and disbelieved for the typical lies that they are.

Whispers were heard throughout the street of “Scientology!” and “Anonymous!” and smiles were seen as we walked through Rundle Mall. People gave us thumbs up and said “I support you” and if they had not, they listened with a concerned ear.

Anonymous is building momentum.

We are a voice for the voiceless.

Scientology breaks up families.

Anonymous is the family that Scientology cannot ever reach.

Anonymous delivers yet again.

See you on the 12th of April.

Now it is time to focus on a new topic: Disconnection. For those of you who are in the know, Scientology’s disconnection policies tear families apart as evidenced by the hundreds of stories on Ex-Scientology Kids. So this next March (planned for April 12th) is to be named “Operation Reconnect“. As concerned Anon we need to try and reach those Adelaide citizens effected by the Disconnection Policy, this includes people who have been harassed to join after receiving “Stress Tests” and “Dianetics Therapy”.

This Saturday 29th March at 13:00, Anonymous will meet again at Hindmarsh Square near the Griffins Head to distribute hundreds of flyers asking for people to step forward. Be aware this is a mini-raid not a protest. While we hope for as many to attend as possible we will be splitting into groups of 5 or so depending on numbers to avoid requiring a permit. An E-Mail Address has been set up at reconnect@anonsa.org for people to get in contact with us to relate their stories. All stories will be kept in the strictest confidence and will only be related with false names and dates depending on the level of involvement agreed to by the victims of this kind of abuse.

Flyers will be made up in the next week and I urge all those coming to print as many as possible. We handed out over 1600 last time and it’d be great to get out even more this time. Please comment on whether you think it would be a good idea to bring the petitions to the mini-raid or wether we should leave them for the big push on April 12th. See you all there!

To the OSA Int staff assigned to examine this message:

The RTC failed to handle the March 15th protests. They are laying the blame for this failure on members of Anonymous who have infiltrated management and staff at the RTC, CST, ASHO, and OSA. Anonymous congratulates the management of RTC for this conclusion, and we confirm that you are correct. We are already among you. Disaffected staff members are exposing the secrets of RTC to Anonymous, and we are making this information available to the entire world. This cannot be stopped, and the exposure of Scientology continues with each passing day.

The corruption of RTC has spread like a cancer that is affecting all levels of the Church of Scientology. Management is attempting to expose those on staff who have contacted Anonymous. Even now, the purges are taking place. The RTC is trying to uncover those of you who are members of Anonymous, and many hard working staff are being hurt. Lower conditions. Repeated KRs. Disconnections. Sec checks. Comm Evs. And the RPF. This is what happened to Mike Rinder and Warren McShane. This has happened to many people you know, and it will happen to you. The RTC is attacking everyone in sight as they try and fail to uncover Anonymous. You are in danger, because the RTC does not care about your dedication to KSW.

This is why Anonymous makes this offer to you:

Join us. Become Anonymous.

We are not asking you to reveal your identity to anyone. We are not asking you to attack anyone in the RTC or the Church of Scientology. We want you to remain Anonymous until the time is right. We want you to spread this message to your fellow Scientologists:

THERE IS A WAY OUT.

Disloyalty to RTC is not disloyalty to LRH. Use covert methods to let staff and PCs know the time has come for RTC to be run out. The corruption of RTC will bring the Church of Scientology to ruin. Anonymous believes that all people are free to believe what they want. We are not attacking your religion. We do not want to destroy Scientology. We want the upper management of RTC to be held responsible for their crimes, their lies, their destruction of life and hope, and their manipulation and abuse of thousands of staff worldwide who want nothing more than to make the world a better place.

You can help us by being Anonymous. Find ways to tell the truth about RTC to the world. The Internet message boards have many people who want to hear from you. Do not reveal your identity, not even to other members of Anonymous. Give information, and give hope. You will find people waiting for you, who have the same objectives as you. You will find that RTC is a lie, and they cannot handle the truth.

The truth will bring about the end of RTC. This is why RTC lies. They ruin the lives of others. They care not at all for those close to them. To save themselves, they will even destroy the Church of Scientology. But RTC cannot handle Anonymous, and they cannot handle you.

We are Anonymous.

We are Legion.

With us, YOU are Legion.

There is a way out.

Join us.

Guy Fawkes Masks

I am after expressions of interest in doing another bulk order of Guy Fawkes masks for Fellow SA Anon. The price will be $15.00 pick-up on or before the day, a little more if you want it posted to you. Last time around, 35 masks were ordered, and they all went pretty quickly. This is not so much to order one yet, more so trying to get an idea of numbers. Comment in the comments, or email me if your interested.

The March 15th march was met with a large group of us singing and dancing to Rick Astley and this placed smiles on alot of faces, These memes were only present at the beginning and the end of the march and during the interaction with the general public, our commitment and face was fantastic and we need to keep this up.

We must have a clean respectable front/face for the public – The lulz are great and improve the moral and spirit of our group but should be consider an IN-JOKE as we move forward. Our goals must be set in stone and our methods enforced- To successfully get positive media attention, new members, and mature support.

I would like to see EVERYBODY in suits. – I would like to see EVERYBODY holding fliers and talking to the public. I would like to see public speeches. I would like to see us meeting in more public places (front of the Parliament House?). I would like to see us being loud proud and kickin’ rad!

Remember what we’re doing as Anonymous is new, it’s innovative and more importantly it’s interesting. People are stopping and people are paying attention. This is what we want. Putting myself outside of the movement for a moment I’m willing to admit that I would stop and pay attention to a group of purported Internet terrorists who are dancing and eating cake before I would glance a second time at a group of dour faced picketers.

The next march is a long-way away and we need to prepare ourselves – We need to get in contact with families – Can the admins please setup a “reconnect@anonsa.org” and let people contact us because I expect our efforts have gotten the attention of the families already. (Admin Edit: Email address created, reconnect@anonsa.org)

Thanks to everyone involved – PLEASE comment about this with ideas and opinions.

Anonymous gathered at Victoria Square as planned with various Scientology’s spies in attendance including one from February the 10th, bottled water was provided for 50c (Girl selling it was tax exempt otherwise It’d have been 55c) and pre-order masks were distributed.

With police in attendance and anonymous ready to go all departed on the pre-defined route at 2:20pm with no Scientology interference and many flyers handed out.

Upon arriving at Scientology’s HQ we were again filmed but unlike last time there was not a large Scientology filming presence apart from the person inside the building (ignore the man behind the curtain) with his video camera.

One reported incident involved a small group including the shirtless protester without mask and the person with the Osama costume attempting to infiltrate the Scientology building from the street behind the building, this group was immediately reported to police and they were escorted back to the side of the road. These type of trouble maskers (which are apparently known by one anonymous as having attended the same school) are not welcome and thanks goes to the quick response of both the police and anonymous.

On a brighter there are many many people to thank who brought candy, professional cameras, water, delicious moist cake, signature list against tax exemption and a portable amp of which was all provided out of their own pockets.

Keeping anons spirit up more, there were sing-alongs of Happy Birthday for Lafayette Ron Hubbard, lots of Portal theme, Rickrollin’ and this particular gem:

According to the numbers Adelaide might be the biggest raid this time and it shows with the dedication we have, thanks to everyone in attendance apart from the small group who deiced to cause trouble. For those who would like make the net protest even better but don’t know how to contribute apart from financially feel free to drop by the IRC channel.

Double Edit:

Epic Compilation of the event by Munkee:

I checked my sources and what Arnie is saying is confirmed, but I can now add a new data from my source — who is now on the verge of leaving Scientology forever over this strategy. Again, this information comes from the Source whom I know only as Radio Silence Broken. I have no way to validate this information:

1. Shore story to Scientology publics is to “out create Anonymous by showing family-centered, happy Scientologists.” My source says that the BP (Battle Plan) is to create an incident where arrests of Anons will be made. BP is something like this:

2. Leak Battle Plan (BP) to key critics. Targets: Arnie, Swift, Tory.

3. Leaked BP will make Anons nervous and lower their tone level and confront. This is a preemptive psychological attack based upon the fact that all Anons are SP’s who have crimes to hide. Goal of leaked BP is to discourage attendance of Anons.

4. Have Scn children and their parents hand Anons copies of The Way to Happiness Books. Objective is to have an “innocent appearing way” to place Scn minors into very close proximity to Anons, forcing police to get between the Anons and Scn kids. Get photos. Scientology parents are to be next to their children at all times.

5. Use children and threat of arrest to force Anons onto public roads if possible where they can be ticketed for blocking traffic. This is key at Big Blue where Sunset is so crowded.

6. Infiltrate masked agitators into Anonymous. There was some talk of hiring the homeless.

7. Force arrests or a confrontation within the first hour. The goal is to have the police order the Anons to disperse in front of cameras while Scientologists stay legally on their property.

8. Goal is to derail the Anon protests by having law enforcement order the protest to disperse and disband.

9. If an incident occurs, children are immediately pulled back by valiant Scientology parents while assigned handlers confront Anonymous.

10. If possible, have a Scn acting in self defense pull the mask off an Anon in public.

From Enturbulation.

Guys, remember to keep your cool, we have the law, the media and the public on our side, we have to make sure we keep it, do not let the scientologists play this game, make sure you keep the peace and report any signs of trouble immidetally to the police. We must let them march near us, but not allow them to confuse and derail us or the public.

Scientology: This is by far not the end, every move you make is destroying your Public Relations even more so, your methodologies and your ‘Tech’ can not fix the damage you are doing to yourself.

Stay strong Anonymous, remember We Are Legion and behind the mask we are united as one. I wish everyone good luck tomorrow.

The Adelaide office now recognize us as a very real threat to the state of their money-making scam. Instead of responding via their faxed response from headquarters they have applied for a permit with the council, for a march on the same day & time, following an extremely similar route to the one found on this very site. Due to council policies, this nullifies both permits, so neither party have a permit to march.

They are paying attention.

This is an attempt to stop us from marching but we will go ahead as planned. No confrontation is expected, we believe it to be a deterrent not a threat but there is still a possibility that Scientology will be marching along with us. If they choose to do so, we will allow them to, as they are well within their legal right to do so but we suggest you do not communicate with them at all directly and instead make your voice to the public much louder than theirs. (Edit: See bottom of post)

We are paying attention also.

We have full Police support, and they will be meeting us at Victoria Square and out the front of the Scientology Office on Waymouth St, we will also be monitored by foot patrols and CCTV along the march route. We are fully covered by insurance in case something does go wrong, but we will still have to be on our extra best behaviour. We recommend you pay attention to this instructional protest video:

Things are still powering on through and beyond the 15th.Scientology offices around the world have also stood up and paid attention to us, which can be demonstrated by their latest smear video, which can be viewed below. A restraining order was also taken out upon “Anonymous” in Clearwater seen here

As you can see they have edited our videos to make us sound dangerous. Scientology’s attempts at discrediting their critics are well documented and it is much easier to discredit someone in the public eyes if they are wearing a mask. If you are new to Anonymous and want to see what we are really like please go here.

EDIT:
If this post is anything to go by, it looks like we will have company, we must make our voices louder than theirs, and we must know the facts, please brush up on your knowledge of both their human rights abuses and tax exempt status. There is a very real possibility you may need to confront them, use only information, no strong words and don’t play in to any of their games that may incite angered emotions.
