Fellow Anon,

We need to seriously open up discussion about the May 10th Protest and get the ball rolling on making this event happen. The basic info for the protest has not changed, we will be meeting 2pm, May 10th at Victoria Square and the topic for this round is Operation: FairGameStop. Most ideas and plans for the protests will likely remain the same, but what ideas does Anon have for the topic of Fair game.

A second event occurred last night that I would also like to hear Anons’ thoughts on, Last night, I received a call from a Mr Cyrus Brooks continuing an email discussion I have had with him – and before you ask, he found my number on the Permit that I posted here on this site and no, I am not concerned about that information floating around in public domain. Cyrus touched on many subjects related to Scientology and Anonymous throughout the conversation which was rudely cut short by a flat battery.

I will be in contact with Cyrus again tonight, and would like Anon to submit any questions they would like to have answered by the VP of Scientologys Australian Arm. Everyone is also free to query me through the comments/email/irc about the previous conversations, as plenty of information has come out of it.

- David

Henry Rollins played in Adelaide at Norwood on Thursday night, afterwards a member of Anon asked him what he thought about Anonymous and Scientology. I don’t think he’s heard much about it, but he does have some personal experiences that he shared with us.

Thanks for sharing Henry and we’re glad you see Scientology for just what they are, a cult.

If you can creep out Henry Rollins, that’s not a good sign.

Hello Anonymous and Non-Anonymous alike.

Today we would like to announce another part of our next protest:

Mass Mail Effect.

Put simply, one of the best way to effect change is to contact your politician, in this case federal representatives.

We live in a democracy, so it’s best we start treating it exactly like that.

So before the next protest, we will collaboratively create a form letter to address to issues such as the churches tax exempt status, it’s policy of disconnection and more.

Once finished, we will post the letter on this website ready for download and printing. Next protest, we ask that anon bring a copy of this letter, a stamp and a self addressed envelope.

We encourage that you find out Which electorate you live in if you are unaware, and Which Member of Parliament to address it to.

Once we start, we will form a line next to a postbox, and upon a given signal, we will one by one post each letter to your local representative in a single democratic act our voices will be heard. YOU will be the one to post the letter, so your anonymity will not be broken.

This will be filmed and any responses that are received afterward should be emailed to AnonSA.

We also encourage non-anonymous (and Anonymous whom cannot attend the protest) to post the letter on the date of the protest to show their support and help ensure the anonymity of members.

We encourage you to spread the word and this idea.

G’day Anon,

April 12th has now been and gone, and along with it, we held our 3rd successful Raid against Scientology.

This time around we had about 75 people attend the event, but while smaller then the previous events we still had a GREAT turnout with everyone in their best spirits for the day. There was loads of pictures being taken by Anon, the Press & Scientologists alike.

Like the March 15th protest, we marched the city, but with all of us walking down Rundle Mall for massive damage, I don’t think there was a head in the Mall that wasn’t focused on us. There was plenty of requests for free hugs, information and discussion on the subject from the public and while we couldn’t just hand out flyers, plenty still made it into the hands of the people thanks to their requests.

There was plenty of music, dancing and a big ‘love’ theme.

Anyway, enough about the raid itself.. We want to see your pictures, audio & video! – To see how to upload your media to AnonSA , read up the previous post We Want Your Media.

We are now coming into the final strech for the April 12th Protest, here are all the details.

Location: Victoria Square (northern side)

Time/Date: April 12th 2pm to ~4.30pm

What to bring:

• A good and fun attitude
• A mask or some other way to cover your face
  • Cheap masks can be found at Spotlight/GoLo or any costume store
  • Alternatively you can become a Shirt Ninja for the day
• A sign/placard (or a few)
• Plenty of Water/Cordial etc.
• Sunscreen/Hat (just in case)
• Some knowledge of Scientology and the purpose of this protest
• It would be really great if everyone was to wear a suit, dress pants and a tie – but this is not a requirement

What not to bring:

• Drugs/Alcohol (don’t even think about coming to the protest drunk/high, your presence will not welcome if you do)
• A negative or violent attitude
• Weapons

Like March 15th, we will be marching around the city, following the same route:

1. Start off at Victoria Square
2. Walk down King William Street
3. Turn Right onto North Terrace
4. Walk down North Terrace and turn Right onto Pultney Street
5. Walk up Pultney Street where a small group of about 20 will head down Rundle Mall (only people in suits)
6. The rest will continue past Rundle Mall and turn right onto Grenfell Street
7. Head to Waymouth Street and stop out the front of The Church of Scientology building.

This time, we do not have a permit or insurance to protest – this is due to Scientologys successful efforts to stop us from getting a permit last time around and the costs associated with insurance, but the police and council have been contacted regarding this and they are fine with our actions. However, for some unknown reason the council has explicitly requested that we do not hand out flyers citing issues of littering – I did question them about this and they would not turn on their decision.

There is a permit available for distribution of literature, maybe some anon with cash could get them separate of the protest itself to circumvent this decision. I would also like to make it known that if anon do distribute flyers this protest, they will be acting as an individual and the organisers or the group ‘Anonymous’ can not be held accountable for the actions of any individual.
I would request that everyone on the protest please:

• CLEAN up any and all rubbish left by yourself or any other Anon
• KEEP to the side walk – do not crowd onto the road
• OBEY all traffic laws and regulations – don’t block or stall any road traffic
• MOVE out the way to allow any member of the public free access to the side walk
• STAY on the opposite side of the road to the Scientology building – their biggest concerns were the safety of their younger church members

Some of the signs at the last raids have been very sub-par – small, look like they were quickly thrown together and impossible to read at a distance, so to help Anon along with the sign creation process, MrDogFood has compiled a bunch of tips into a useful pamphlet. A quick overview as well as a link to the pamphlet of what should make a sign is below.

1. Find Cardboard – Can be obtained by dismantling a Cardboard box – and boxes can be found everywhere, check your local supermarket or shed or well… Anywhere.
2. Neatly cut down the cardboard to make a nice backing for your sign.
3. Construct your message on computer using a BOLD easy to read Sans-Serif font – Aim for one word per page and try to keep the fonts the same size
4. Stick the message onto the cardboard with a lot of glue or wide packaging tape, your office desk scotch tape is not going to do it
5. Add your modifications – Want a pole, handles or a pouch for holding flyers, add these now. (nb: It is highly suggested to not use a heavy wooden or metal pole as it can be seen as a weapon – a cardboard tube would be a much better alternative)

This is just a quick overview, everybody should download and read the pamphlet below before constructing their sign.
