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.

We won April 12th!

G’day Anon,

April 12th has now been and gone, and along with it, we held our 3rd successful Raid against Scientology.

This time around we had about 75 people attend the event, but while smaller then the previous events we still had a GREAT turnout with everyone in their best spirits for the day. There was loads of pictures being taken by Anon, the Press & Scientologists alike.

Like the March 15th protest, we marched the city, but with all of us walking down Rundle Mall for massive damage, I don’t think there was a head in the Mall that wasn’t focused on us. There was plenty of requests for free hugs, information and discussion on the subject from the public and while we couldn’t just hand out flyers, plenty still made it into the hands of the people thanks to their requests.

There was plenty of music, dancing and a big ‘love’ theme.

Anyway, enough about the raid itself.. We want to see your pictures, audio & video! – To see how to upload your media to AnonSA , read up the previous post We Want Your Media.

Press Pack for April 12′s Operation Reconnect

April 6, 2008 8:48 pm by

Anonymous has created a press pack to assist journalists in reporting on Anonymous’ ongoing protest against the Church of Scientology’s criminal activities.

This press pack includes a press release about April 12′s Operation Reconnect (for immediate publication) as well as some relevant background information and examples of the literature we plan to distribute on April 12. There is an alternative version that also contains a few high-res photos from March 15′s Adelaide protest.

Copies have been posted to most SA news outlets. The press release has also been disseminated via email, with journalists directed to download this pack for further info. Copies will also be brought to the April 12 protest, to hand to any journo’s who do show up.

Any feedback on the content of the press pack is most welcome.

A few tidbits.

Using the site

To people who are new or unfamiliar here, this site is very much centred around user interaction and user generated content, however, it seems a lot of people probably do not know how to access these functions. When you register an account here, you will be given the ability immediately to post what ever you want into the image gallery and write new posts to go on to the front page.

To see how to get images/videos/documents/audio on the site, click here.

To post a new story, click here. We also suggest you have a little play around with the Admin Panel, and familiarise yourself with it. (Note: Stories/discussion topics require mod approval before they will appear on the front page, but mods will usually approve the story as long as it has content)

Guy Fawkes Masks

I am after expressions of interest in doing another bulk order of Guy Fawkes masks for Fellow SA Anon. The price will be $15.00 pick-up on or before the day, a little more if you want it posted to you. Last time around, 35 masks were ordered, and they all went pretty quickly. This is not so much to order one yet, more so trying to get an idea of numbers. Comment in the comments, or email me if your interested.

We want your media.
