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 group of anon focussed upon distributing posters have managed to put up approximately 90 posters around the Adelaide CBD in prominent places, have a look around and see if you can find them!

Once again more people wished to take photos with anon, and copies may turn up on this site!

Remember to spread the word, and if you’ve got a Disconnection story, email us here at:

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.

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!

(this is a repost from the ExScientology Forums)

To the OSA Int staff assigned to examine this message:

The RTC failed to handle the March 15th protests. They are laying the blame for this failure on members of Anonymous who have infiltrated management and staff at the RTC, CST, ASHO, and OSA. Anonymous congratulates the management of RTC for this conclusion, and we confirm that you are correct. We are already among you. Disaffected staff members are exposing the secrets of RTC to Anonymous, and we are making this information available to the entire world. This cannot be stopped, and the exposure of Scientology continues with each passing day.

The corruption of RTC has spread like a cancer that is affecting all levels of the Church of Scientology. Management is attempting to expose those on staff who have contacted Anonymous. Even now, the purges are taking place. The RTC is trying to uncover those of you who are members of Anonymous, and many hard working staff are being hurt. Lower conditions. Repeated KRs. Disconnections. Sec checks. Comm Evs. And the RPF. This is what happened to Mike Rinder and Warren McShane. This has happened to many people you know, and it will happen to you. The RTC is attacking everyone in sight as they try and fail to uncover Anonymous. You are in danger, because the RTC does not care about your dedication to KSW.

This is why Anonymous makes this offer to you:

Join us. Become Anonymous.

We are not asking you to reveal your identity to anyone. We are not asking you to attack anyone in the RTC or the Church of Scientology. We want you to remain Anonymous until the time is right. We want you to spread this message to your fellow Scientologists:

THERE IS A WAY OUT.

Disloyalty to RTC is not disloyalty to LRH. Use covert methods to let staff and PCs know the time has come for RTC to be run out. The corruption of RTC will bring the Church of Scientology to ruin. Anonymous believes that all people are free to believe what they want. We are not attacking your religion. We do not want to destroy Scientology. We want the upper management of RTC to be held responsible for their crimes, their lies, their destruction of life and hope, and their manipulation and abuse of thousands of staff worldwide who want nothing more than to make the world a better place.

You can help us by being Anonymous. Find ways to tell the truth about RTC to the world. The Internet message boards have many people who want to hear from you. Do not reveal your identity, not even to other members of Anonymous. Give information, and give hope. You will find people waiting for you, who have the same objectives as you. You will find that RTC is a lie, and they cannot handle the truth.

The truth will bring about the end of RTC. This is why RTC lies. They ruin the lives of others. They care not at all for those close to them. To save themselves, they will even destroy the Church of Scientology. But RTC cannot handle Anonymous, and they cannot handle you.

We are Anonymous.

We are Legion.

With us, YOU are Legion.

There is a way out.

Join us.

If you would like to contact us with your story for Operation Reconnect, you may do so by emailing reconnect@anonsa.org. All conversations and contact information will be kept in the strictest of confidence, and we will only be releasing the stories with your full permission.

For Operation Reconnect, and realistically all future endeavors, to work, Anonymous needs to enforce its public image.

The March 15th march was met with a large group of us singing and dancing to Rick Astley and this placed smiles on alot of faces, These memes were only present at the beginning and the end of the march and during the interaction with the general public, our commitment and face was fantastic and we need to keep this up.

We must have a clean respectable front/face for the public - The lulz are great and improve the moral and spirit of our group but should be consider an IN-JOKE as we move forward. Our goals must be set in stone and our methods enforced- To successfully get positive media attention, new members, and mature support.

I would like to see EVERYBODY in suits. - I would like to see EVERYBODY holding fliers and talking to the public. I would like to see public speeches. I would like to see us meeting in more public places (front of the Parliament House?). I would like to see us being loud proud and kickin’ rad!

Remember what we’re doing as Anonymous is new, it’s innovative and more importantly it’s interesting. People are stopping and people are paying attention. This is what we want. Putting myself outside of the movement for a moment I’m willing to admit that I would stop and pay attention to a group of purported Internet terrorists who are dancing and eating cake before I would glance a second time at a group of dour faced picketers.

The next march is a long-way away and we need to prepare ourselves - We need to get in contact with families - Can the admins please setup a “reconnect@anonsa.org” and let people contact us because I expect our efforts have gotten the attention of the families already. (Admin Edit: Email address created, reconnect@anonsa.org)

Thanks to everyone involved - PLEASE comment about this with ideas and opinions.

Dear Scientology: “When I leave here today, I’m free to spend time with any friend/family member/loved ones I choose. ARE YOU?”

Thanks to SA forums for some copy/paste
