Mini-Raid Report: Preperation for Operation Reconnect

March 29, 2008 6:01 pm by

Now that the weather has cleared up a little, Anonymous comes out suited and rugged up all with one face (both ideologically and visually).

Some of the hive of Anonymous gathered in Hindmarsh Square to prepare for a stroll down Hindley Street and some had even handed out all their flyers before they met at the spot at the required time!

Anonymous’ route headed down Rundle Mall, which the reception we got was nothing short of spectacular. Many stopped to discuss the “disconnection” policy of Scientology. The majority whom were flyered were told if they knew anybody effected by the policy to contact us here at AnonSA. We know that a few intend to contact us.

Half way down the mall, we had nearly run out  (approximately) 200 flyers! After some consultation with Anonymous posse we managed to get 300 more, of which we managed to hand out near all of them.

Members of the public are warming to Anonymous.

Families stopped us and requested pictures with members whom were suited and masked with their children; this Anonymous member was personally was in 4 photos. This demonstrates Scientology’s allegations are being heard and disbelieved for the typical lies that they are.

Whispers were heard throughout the street of “Scientology!” and “Anonymous!” and smiles were seen as we walked through Rundle Mall. People gave us thumbs up and said “I support you” and if they had not, they listened with a concerned ear.

Anonymous is building momentum.

We are a voice for the voiceless.

Scientology breaks up families.

Anonymous is the family that Scientology cannot ever reach.

Anonymous delivers yet again.

See you on the 12th of April.

Op Reconnect Awareness Campaign/Mini-Raid

March 26, 2008 9:53 pm by

Welcome back Anon, and well done. The March 15th Raids were amazing and after a well deserved Easter break it’s time to begin anew. The March 15th Raid saw approximately 260 people Marching the streets of Adelaide in an epic rally drawing people’s attention to the tax exempt status. 160 people signed the petitions that were being handed out, predominantly signed by the General Public.

Now it is time to focus on a new topic: Disconnection. For those of you who are in the know, Scientology’s disconnection policies tear families apart as evidenced by the hundreds of stories on Ex-Scientology Kids. So this next March (planned for April 12th) is to be named “Operation Reconnect“. As concerned Anon we need to try and reach those Adelaide citizens effected by the Disconnection Policy, this includes people who have been harassed to join after receiving “Stress Tests” and “Dianetics Therapy”.

This Saturday 29th March at 13:00, Anonymous will meet again at Hindmarsh Square near the Griffins Head to distribute hundreds of flyers asking for people to step forward. Be aware this is a mini-raid not a protest. While we hope for as many to attend as possible we will be splitting into groups of 5 or so depending on numbers to avoid requiring a permit. An E-Mail Address has been set up at reconnect@anonsa.org for people to get in contact with us to relate their stories. All stories will be kept in the strictest confidence and will only be related with false names and dates depending on the level of involvement agreed to by the victims of this kind of abuse.

Flyers will be made up in the next week and I urge all those coming to print as many as possible. We handed out over 1600 last time and it’d be great to get out even more this time. Please comment on whether you think it would be a good idea to bring the petitions to the mini-raid or wether we should leave them for the big push on April 12th. See you all there!

It’s a Sign!

March 11, 2008 11:54 pm by

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.

8th March Mini-Raid Wrapup

March 9, 2008 7:44 pm by

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.

Second Mini-Raid March 8th

March 5, 2008 10:26 pm by

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.
