• tax exempt status is for non-profit/charity organisations, not greedy cults
• Scientology policies of ‘Fair Game’ and ‘Disconnection’ deserve a Governmental inquiry
• the definition of ‘religion’ needs to be altered to ensure protection of the human rights of those in a religion, or leaving a religion

Clearly we do not present radical or extreme views. When given the opportunity to examine for themselves, the public understands this too. Our movement can only grow. But it’s up to all of us to get out and show our numbers, on the streets, this Saturday June 14 at 2pm for Operation Sea Arrrgh! All hands on deck!!

For the n00bs (or to refresh), here’s some recommended items to bring on the day:

1. A fun attitude (and your friends)
   we need music & lulz & dancing & chants & more lulz
2. Masks (and black clothes/suits, where possible)
   if u can’t locate a guy fawkes mask, there are plenty of El Cheapo masks in various stores, or become a t-shirt ninja for the day
3. Pirate booty
   hats, eye patches, balloon swords
4. Signs
   think: short, legible message about our protest against Scientology
5. Flyers (or Cards, Brochures, Info Disks etc)
   print em out, photocopy them, cut them out, burn em off: give em out
6. Food/water
   caek, chocolate dubloons, lollies - water is a must & consider a crazy straw or plan HOW TO drink with your mask on
7. A backpack or greenie bag might help you too

AND educate yourself about the cause, so you can answer any Qs you might get about the Sea Org or other Scientology related stuff.

Good training video for New Anonymous:

Yarrr let’s make the maiden voyage of the Sea Arrrgh a total lulz fest!
Give people something to smile about on their Saturday afternoon, while keel-hauling the progress of Scientology in South Australia and beyond the furthest seas! Onwards - yarrr!!!

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.

To the Honourable the President and Members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

The Petition of the undersigned shows:

That the public has become aware of the human rights abuses and corporate nature of Scientology. By exhibiting this behaviour we feel that Scientology is abusing its Tax Exempt Status and the rights of Australian Citizens.

Your Petitioners ask/request that the Senate should:

• conduct a public inquiry into the practices of Scientology be undertaken to reveal the true extent of their “Fair Game” and “Disconnection” policies in Australia.
• order the ATO to Audit the Church of Scientology to show the amount of tax exempt dollars used for charitable work.
• consider that a third principle be added to the High Court definition of religion, being that a religion “must ensure the Human Rights of its practitioners (past, present and future) are not abused in any way as a result of joining, practicing, leaving the religion.

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.
