Anon Interview: Henry Rollins on Scientology

April 20, 2008 6:13 pm by

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.


Protest Addition – Mass Mail Effect.

April 15, 2008 12:23 am by

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.

April 5, 2008 6:58 pm by

A group of anon focussed upon distributing posters have managed to put up approximately 90 posters around the Adelaide CBD in prominent places, have a look around and see if you can find them!

Once again more people wished to take photos with anon, and copies may turn up on this site!

Remember to spread the word, and if you’ve got a Disconnection story, email us here at:

reconnect@anonsa.org.

See you on the 12th of April at 2pm in Victoria Square.

Mini-Raid: Operation Reconnect Preparation v2.0

April 2, 2008 10:16 pm by

Anonymous,

The last Mini-Raid raised awareness, we had plenty of flyers handed out, good public response and a good time had by all.

This is our last chance to get the public informed before Operation reconnect.

This Saturday, the 5th of April at 1pm, Meet at Hindmarsh Square. Bring a mask, be anonymous!

Depending on numbers we will split up into groups.

This time, I want to see more posters. POSTERS, POSTERS, POSTERS.

I want to see posters posted on walls, poles, windows, this means bringing sticky-tape (clear packing tape recommended) and adhesives!

bring flyers to hand out, but do not forget posters advertising reconnect with the time and place, such as here.

Anonymous needs to be all around town, and everybody needs to know.

People just like you help and make a difference.

Come, bring a friend, flyers, posters, and a mask.

Mini-Raid Report: Preperation for Operation Reconnect

March 29, 2008 6:01 pm by

Now that the weather has cleared up a little, Anonymous comes out suited and rugged up all with one face (both ideologically and visually).

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.

March 15th. Things just got real.

March 14, 2008 12:08 pm by

Avast Anon! The Scientology offices have fired a warning shot across the bow.

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.

DOUBLE EDIT:
Read this for even more information. As well as this SMH article on the ‘Youth for Human Rights Commission’

OH GAWD WHEN WILL THESE EDITS END:

Wise Beard Man, Mark Bunker, speaking about the current state of affairs leading up to Mar15th (also moved the publish date forward to keep the article up the top)

Thanks to TTS and Anon23517 who pointed this out in the comments.
