Protest Addition – Mass Mail Effect.

April 15, 2008 12:23 am by Anonymous

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 mrDogfud

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.

March 15th. Things just got real.

March 14, 2008 12:08 pm by Anonymous

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.

DOUBLE EDIT:
Read this for even more information. As well as this SMH article on the ‘Youth for Human Rights Commission’

OH GAWD WHEN WILL THESE EDITS END:

Wise Beard Man, Mark Bunker, speaking about the current state of affairs leading up to Mar15th (also moved the publish date forward to keep the article up the top)
