Please refer to the post below regarding Operation Didgeridie for the methods we do encourage.

EDIT: Also, check out Stilgherrian’s Patch Monday (15/2/2010) podcast in which AnonSA features :)

As of 17^th November, Independent Senator Nick Xenophon has made official accusations against the Church of Scientology in the Senate. He has called for a police investigation into the organization and an official review of Scientology’s tax exempt status.

There is an ongoing discussion in the forums HERE

This was announced via an Internet Video on YouTube

Part of the actions proposed in this war includes a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against Australian Government websites.

This has been reported at the Herald Sun.

ANONSA WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WE DO NOT SUPPORT THE DDOS OR ANY OTHER ILLEGAL ACTIONS.

As we always have, We do NOT support or condone any illegal activities against the Australian Government (or the Church of Scientology). We encourage peaceful, legal action only.

We would like to encourage Anonymous and members of the Australian Public to take action against the Australian Government—peacefully and legally. You do not need to identify as “Anonymous” or wear the Guy Fawkes mask to participate.

We are looking for as many people as possible to:

1. Send a letter to your Minister about the Proposed Internet Censorship
2. Send a letter to Senator Stephen Conroy.
3. Talk to everyone about Internet Censorship. Put it on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, forums, talk to your friends, your family, and your cat.
4. Make posters (and share them here) and put them on Community Noticeboards or anywhere you can get attention
5. Phone Senator Stephen Conroy’s office about the Censorship
6. Phone your Minister about the Censorship
7. Send faxes to Ministers about the Censorship
8. Phone talk-back radio about the Censorship
9. Contact local television stations about the Censorship
10. Write letters to the Editor of your local Newspaper about the Censorship…

In short, tell as many people as many ways as possible about the Censorship.

Finally, we hope to arrange a protest against the Internet Censorship—not as Anonymous, but as Australian Citizens. Perhaps there will be more information on this later.

And again, we do NOT support the DDoS!

Update:

REALLY good commentary here regarding the attack, better than any of the stories.

Somebody think of the children

Upon closer inspection after the launch, AnonSA found that Scientology was listed under multiple sections!

Under:

• Volunteer Organisations
• Community Services

and “Churches, Religions and Philosophies”.

AnonSA, via twitter; brought this to the attention of Premier Mike Rann… of which since it has MYSTERIOUSLY DISSAPEARED from the sa.gov.au site.

We congratulate the premier for making some phonecalls and kicking some administrative ass, but…

The real question is, How did it get there in the first place?

Nobody appears to be coming forward, so what is left is idle speculation.

Any ideas, dear readers?

Premier?

Later it was revealed they were forgeries. There is an element of truth in this discussion, regardless of the emails legitimacy, it’s become evident to the general public that Scientology is not a credible organisation. This same truth we have been reiterating. Scientology is dangerous, and association with it is damaging not only to yourself but your reputation.

“I would never do a favour for the Church of Scientology founded by a loony called L. Ron Hubbard” -(Premier Mike Rann, May 2009.)

The public are becoming more aware of the insidious nature of Scientology and its appendage organisations. Their underhand tactics are now more than ever becoming transparent to the general public.

I do not believe that this would have been achieved as quickly without efforts like Project Chanology and groups like AnonSA.

This is why we must continue pressing on.

INTERNET DENIZENS AND REGULAR FOLKS,

On February 21st we celebrate one year of Project Chanology. We encourage all whom have come in the past year (and those whom haven’t yet) to come and party with us at the Anoniversary!

The video above talks of some of our successes in 2008, and that is only what has happened in ADELAIDE, there has been much going on all over the world.

Despite fear-mongering propaganda from Scientology, we have proven in the hearts and minds of the South Australian public and government that we are peaceful protestors.

This is no easy feat, considering for most, the concept of a friendly person with no outward identity can seem daunting.

But we have done it before and we will do it again!

We have come a long way in a very short amount of time.

Let it be known:

WE’RE BACK, 1PM, Saturday 21st February, Victoria Square.

See you there, Anonymous.

UPDATE FOR EPIC PROMO VIDEO:

pasted from the Anonville Wiki.

July 26, 2008 marks the 7 month anniversary since the release of the now infamous “Message to Scientology” video on youtube, the day that the majority of Anons consider to be the start of our campaign proper. The protests so far have been going AMAZINGLY so far… but it’s time to cause another ‘stir’. 2/10 shook Scientology up because they didn’t think we’d pull it off. 3/15 shook them up again because they didn’t think we’d follow through a second time… but we need to outdo ourselves again, we need to shake the very foundation of Scientology and the public.

I have heard from dozens of Anons who have proposed that, in order to better demonstrate our strength and numbers, as well as our dedication, a series of “super-scaled” rallies should be held instead of the traditional small turnout-lots of cities format we’ve been using.

What do I mean by super-scaled? Each city that holds a super-rally will have a goal for their protest: to reach several times their city’s record for protesters, essentially turning the area of the city near the Scientology center into “Anonville” for the day.

So if you want to have some fun with some other Anons, and wouldn’t mind a holiday to Sydney to party and protest with others from all around Australia, here’s an opportunity for you and your friends.

So what do you think about it?
Are you going to come?

NOW is the time to start planning the trip.

I think getting a bus organised so many anon could go is what we shoud do, we could make a real event of this, ANON ROADTRIP.

people are still welcome to organise their own flights.

The article is on page 17.

Choice quote:

ENTROPY: And a cult, how is it different to a religion?
ANONYMOUS: We’re not basing the ‘cult’ label on its beliefs – rather, on its practices. Apart from its now-infamous Fair Game policy, Scientology also discourages members from having contact with non-Scientologists, except for recruitment purposes.

You’re also required to cease any communications with anyone who is sceptical of the Church – their infamous Disconnection policy. They also try to silence any criticism – like the Tom Cruise video. They even attacked Time Magazine for an article that referred to them as a ‘greedy and dangerous cult’.

Great stuff, keep up the good work people, you do good work and you get noticed.

The article is available from the Entropy site or through our hosted copy Here.

A high energy—and at times, acrobatic—protest started off at 2pm. We talked with the police, as they had asked to contact Anonymous. It’s funny seeing a policeman say an IRC nickname seriously.

We headed off the same path, we handed out over 300 flyers and even Jane Lomax-Smith dropped by and made a few choice comments that you should really see for yourself.

A great time had by all, even the security guards were laughing with us, scientologists coming and going (albeit taking our photos) and we were informed by the police that there were children inside, so we played some battletoads and fun songs for them.

So why not come down next protest? We had a blast, you will too.

Have fun taking down a dangerous cult in your spare time.
