We here at AnonSA have taken the time to produce a short media release that will be sent to media outlets including radio, television and print media. This document is designed to be short, balanced and concise and is meant to inform he public about what to expect on March 15th. A further media release is being planned as a follow up after March 15th as an answer to the claims that we are “Religious Bigots” and “Cyber Terrorists”.

We invite you to comment regarding anything you think we have left out, any innacuracies or any general edits to the script. It is due to be sent out this Wednesday 12th March 2008, so please get your changes and edits in befor then. A final copy will be reposted in this article once we have knocked it into shape. Now with out further ado, here is the first draft media release:

Second Scientology Protest Scheduled for March 15^th

A second protest directed at the Church of Scientology has been scheduled for this Saturday, March 15^th. Australia’s capital cities, and other major cities around the world, will be greeted by the masked collective known as Anonymous marching the streets.

Adelaide-based Anonymous will be meeting at 2pm in Victoria Square before marching on a loop around the city and finishing up at the Church of Scientology in Waymouth St. Protest Organisers continue to stress that this is to be a peaceful rally and anyone wearing a mask who causes trouble will be separated and pointed out to authorities.

Anonymous are not opposed to the beliefs of Scientologists but are protesting to make people aware of the human rights abuses perpetrated by Scientology and the tax exempt status Scientology holds in Australia. All public and media are invited to attend the rally and are encouraged to wear a mask.

For further information go to www.anonsa.org or direct any queries to media@anonsa.org.

Thankyou.

(This has now been updated and is the final version.)

Now that we are coming up to the final stretch for the March 15th Protest, we need to make this an even more successful event then last time. The three goals we need all anon to help out with leading up to the event are:

• Donations – Due to council by-laws, we need a permit to protest in the CBD, and we also need a $20 Million public liability insurance policy. Last month the insurance cost us $280.00, and that was raised in a matter of 3 days, this time around we need $255.00. Help us reach this goal by using the PayPal donate button to the right.

• Posters and raising awareness - On Mar 1st we held a mini-raid with 10 people showing up to spread awareness of Scientology and March 15, this was very successful with over 500 flyers handed out and plastered up around the streets of Adelaide. However we need this awareness of the event being raised every day leading up to the event, so do what you can and get some posters up around your area, inform your friends or even organize a small group and start handing out flyers around the city one day.

• IRC - We need people on IRC to help us with organization and ideas for the next protest as well as future protests. If you don’t know what IRC is, then you can use our Java client which will get you connected with a single click here. Otherwise join us with your favorite client. #anonsa @ irc.eskimo.com (port +9999 if you client supports SSL)

Firstly, none of you have heard from me before and it is highly likely you will again anytime soon.

Make your own conclusions from that if you want but I’ll save you the trouble and simply say the reason is that I am either still “in”, I am gagged beyond all reason or I simply cannot get involved for my own personal sanity. Any one of which is good reason enough. And if OSA (or whatever is left of it) ends up reading this please don’t bother trying to figure it out either, you never will so save yourself the trouble and keep up your good work as you are.

I’ll say this however so you at least know where I’m coming from. The church as it stands today WILL eventually crumble from within. It is simply a matter of time. I have long since concerned myself with bigger issues in this world but I have been impressed with the anonymous movement.

The tenth of February approaches quickly and we find ourselves in a state of excitement. As everything falls into place, steps must be taken to ensure the safety of Anonymous and the general public. If there is one piece of advice that you listen to and take to heart, let it be this: stay safe! There are many videos showing how Scientologists bull-bait individuals who dare to protest against them. No matter what you are confronted with, you must stay cool. Do what you need to alert the cam operator who is recording your protest. A videotaped record of any hostilities may save you from being framed by Scientologists. Their cameras will be rolling, even if yours are not. Let us show our strength and solidarity on this glorious day! Let us prove that we can rise above the artless provocation of a cultist, meeting it as an impenetrable wall of disciplined warriors. Many documents have been written by Anonymous, for Anonymous in preparation for this day. We ask that you read these and ready yourself accordingly.

READ THIS!!! – It will tell you how Scientology operates in a very objective manner, you’re free to make up your own mind about whether this is worth the cause, but I recommend you reading this before deciding (WARNING: Very long read).

OK guys and girls, we have come to a small problem. In order to protest we need a permit from the city council, which is free to apply for. What isn’t free is the Public Liability Insurance that the council requests with the permit. This will be costing $280.00, I personally can not afford to front this bill by myself, I am asking everyone out there to donate a little bit in order to pay this bill and get the permit.

Why do we need a permit to protest?
Because this happened last time a protest was arranged without one.

05/02/2008 – OK, policy documents have been fully completed and forwarded back to the insurer, RGIB. The policy itself that we are being covered for can be found here.

06/02/2008 – Policy has been processed and I’ll be receiving it tomorrow ASAP, I’ll be submitting it to the council as well as post proof of it online.

06/02/2008 – TARGET REACHED!!! Thanks to everyone who donated!

07/02/2008 – We have a permit, we have insurance and I got a phone call from the South Australian Police; They will be escorting us along the way for the duration of the event. We have everything we need to keep the Scientologists from stopping us from protesting. A copy of the permit can be found here, please print out a copy and keep it on you so you can shoot down anyone who tries to remove you.
