March 15th Aftermath

1:05 am by

Thanks to all for coming today, I would go as far as to call it a “triumph” (hey you cant deny there was cake!) with a total attendance around about 200+ people at a rough count.

Anonymous gathered at Victoria Square as planned with various Scientology’s spies in attendance including one from February the 10th, bottled water was provided for 50c (Girl selling it was tax exempt otherwise It’d have been 55c) and pre-order masks were distributed.

With police in attendance and anonymous ready to go all departed on the pre-defined route at 2:20pm with no Scientology interference and many flyers handed out.

Upon arriving at Scientology’s HQ we were again filmed but unlike last time there was not a large Scientology filming presence apart from the person inside the building (ignore the man behind the curtain) with his video camera.

One reported incident involved a small group including the shirtless protester without mask and the person with the Osama costume attempting to infiltrate the Scientology building from the street behind the building, this group was immediately reported to police and they were escorted back to the side of the road. These type of trouble maskers (which are apparently known by one anonymous as having attended the same school) are not welcome and thanks goes to the quick response of both the police and anonymous.

On a brighter there are many many people to thank who brought candy, professional cameras, water, delicious moist cake, signature list against tax exemption and a portable amp of which was all provided out of their own pockets.

Keeping anons spirit up more, there were sing-alongs of Happy Birthday for Lafayette Ron Hubbard, lots of Portal theme, Rickrollin’ and this particular gem:

According to the numbers Adelaide might be the biggest raid this time and it shows with the dedication we have, thanks to everyone in attendance apart from the small group who deiced to cause trouble. For those who would like make the net protest even better but don’t know how to contribute apart from financially feel free to drop by the IRC channel.

Epic Compilation of the event by Munkee:

The Realness Continues

March 14, 2008 9:50 pm by

I checked my sources and what Arnie is saying is confirmed, but I can now add a new data from my source — who is now on the verge of leaving Scientology forever over this strategy. Again, this information comes from the Source whom I know only as Radio Silence Broken. I have no way to validate this information:

1. Shore story to Scientology publics is to “out create Anonymous by showing family-centered, happy Scientologists.” My source says that the BP (Battle Plan) is to create an incident where arrests of Anons will be made. BP is something like this:

2. Leak Battle Plan (BP) to key critics. Targets: Arnie, Swift, Tory.

3. Leaked BP will make Anons nervous and lower their tone level and confront. This is a preemptive psychological attack based upon the fact that all Anons are SP’s who have crimes to hide. Goal of leaked BP is to discourage attendance of Anons.

4. Have Scn children and their parents hand Anons copies of The Way to Happiness Books. Objective is to have an “innocent appearing way” to place Scn minors into very close proximity to Anons, forcing police to get between the Anons and Scn kids. Get photos. Scientology parents are to be next to their children at all times.

5. Use children and threat of arrest to force Anons onto public roads if possible where they can be ticketed for blocking traffic. This is key at Big Blue where Sunset is so crowded.

6. Infiltrate masked agitators into Anonymous. There was some talk of hiring the homeless.

7. Force arrests or a confrontation within the first hour. The goal is to have the police order the Anons to disperse in front of cameras while Scientologists stay legally on their property.

8. Goal is to derail the Anon protests by having law enforcement order the protest to disperse and disband.

9. If an incident occurs, children are immediately pulled back by valiant Scientology parents while assigned handlers confront Anonymous.

10. If possible, have a Scn acting in self defense pull the mask off an Anon in public.

From Enturbulation.

Guys, remember to keep your cool, we have the law, the media and the public on our side, we have to make sure we keep it, do not let the scientologists play this game, make sure you keep the peace and report any signs of trouble immidetally to the police. We must let them march near us, but not allow them to confuse and derail us or the public.

Scientology: This is by far not the end, every move you make is destroying your Public Relations even more so, your methodologies and your ‘Tech’ can not fix the damage you are doing to yourself.

Stay strong Anonymous, remember We Are Legion and behind the mask we are united as one. I wish everyone good luck tomorrow.

March 15th. Things just got real.

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.

Petition for March 15th

March 12, 2008 8:10 pm by

This is it folks. March 15th is fast approaching and the preparations for the march plow on despite a few red herrings. The following is a copy of a petition that we have drawn up in an effort to get enough signatures to request a public inquest into Scientology and it’s tax exempt status. This is the big one folks.

For those of you who are concerned about your name appearing if you sign the petition, we will be gathering public signatories and mixing up anon signatories amongst them, meaning your anonymity remains intact as you blend in with the general public. Few specifics are required, just names, signatures and your region. Please read this draft version of the petition and suggest as many changes as you like. All changes suggested for this weeks Media Release were added and your contribution on this would greatly benefit the final product. Now without further ado:

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.
