Tonight I made a whole bunch of A4 signs for March 15th.
A lot of them could be handy on mini-raids too (or just for general purpose use).

Got some with anonsa.org on them (ie Adelaide versions).

Then generic ones that can be used in other states or even OS.

For all the fans of firefox’s ad blocker plus, I have also done a NO LOGO version of the posters, so you can choose your own adventure i guess:
ADELAIDE GENERIC

1 last thing: I fixed up that ‘How Brain Washed Are You?‘ card thing too.

Grab everything in one file here.

Peace

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.)

Personally this was my first mini-raid, and I think it was a resounding success. People are starting to recognise “Anonymous” and our message. We were friendly to the public and received lots of smiles and a lot of support. The only hostility experienced was two drunks trying to take a few anon’s masks off (they failed).

There were two small teams of three powering about the Adelaide CBD where many a pole has been flyered. However, your locale is DANGEROUSLY LOW on flyers. Feel free to go to the flyers page and print some for distribution!

All of the flyers we had were distributed to people or on poles, we estimate at a MINIMUM that’s over 850 people who now know about the protest and why we are against the Co$ (now over 1450 in total). A few indicated their support and willingness to come to the protest on the Ides of March (Mar 15th).People stopped and asked for more information, which we gladly provided. To those of you who are new to AnonSA welcome. We invite you to check out some of our other posts to better understand our reasons, our actions and ways that you yourself can get involved.

There was one person who said he was a Scientologist and that Scientology has improved his life so much!.. and then said that he heard I liek mudkips. this man was obviously not a Scientologist (Damn you /b/ fools and your memes!)

A good (if swelteringly hot) time was had by all, and hundreds of people are now a little more informed about our cause. We hope to see you all on March 15th, Victoria Square @ 2pm. Donations are still being taken to organise Public Liability Insurance for the Ides of March.

Due to the unbridled success of the Mini-Raid on 1st of March, and the increasing necessity to raise awareness and inspire action amongst the populace, we are holding another Mini-Raid. Donations are being collected to raise funds for public liability insurance and March 15 is less than two weeks away, the time to promote our cause grows short.

So gentlemen, we once again ask you to don your masks and join us in taking to the streets armed with flyers and a perpetual smile. February 10th was just the beginning. We need more people to stand up if we really want to see Scientology’s tax exempt status removed and it’s criminal abuses of human rights brought to light.

Again we meet on a Saturday, March 8th this time, at 14:00 in Hindmarsh Square near the Griffin’s Head. Depending on numbers a few small groups will then embark on a distribution run in and around the CBD. The groups need to be kept small to avoid the need for Public Liability Insurance as well as giving us a better opportunity to cover more ground.

If you have any suggestions or questions feel free to leave a comment or join us in IRC. A petition has been suggested and may be available to sign if we can come up with appropriate wording. If you are interested your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

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)

AnonSA’s first attempt at raising awareness about our cause was met with great success. With a perfect turn out of ten people (one anon catching up with us mid-raid – TBC), allowing us to send out two small groups into the city to distribute flyers. We managed to distribute over five hundred flyers (edited and grammatically correct) by posting or handing them out with over two hundred and fifty making it directly into the hands of a public eager for knowledge about our cause.

The public reception was heartwarming to say the least, with the majority of people being cautious but curious about what we were saying. Many gave thanks and some indicated their interest in joining us on March 15th. To those who are new visitors to AnonSA we welcome you and invite you to read the information and interact with others on this site. Information is free and we wish to share ideas and opinions with anyone who is interested in finding out the truth.

We did have a few people who were disinterested, a couple of smart ass kids and a crazy lady, but all in all we were received well. To the citizen who we spoke to about his Mother’s own personal experience with the cult’s harassment tactics: please post a comment on this site to a false email. We will be in touch as we would like to raise awareness on the devastating effects Scientology has on families at our Rally in April.

Over the next few months Anonymous will continue to raise awareness of this Organisation, bringing into question it’s business practices and tax exempt status, it’s harassment and manipulative recruitment tactics, it’s past criminal activities and it’s current litigious nature, it’s beginnings as a pseudo psychology taken advantage of by a greedy science-fiction writer and many other practices that should not be tolerated from a religious organisation.

Our peaceful attempts to raise awareness will continue and we wish for all people to take part in our quest for truth as we look forward to the 15th of March. Please take the time to check out the Lisa McPherson Trust, Xenu.net, and “The Unfunny Truth…” and post any questions or observations on AnonSA. We are not cyber terrorists or religious bigots, we merely want to see the abuse of Human Rights cease. Thanks again to all those who participated in the awareness campaign, more details will be posted outlining our next actions.
