Anonymous, we need to work together on a pack to send to the local press to promote our May 10 action.

We want to deliver our message succinctly but provide enough background information as necessary. This is what I hastily threw together for the April protest and could serve as a starting point?

Content is as such:
1. Press Release (RTF & PDF)
2. FAQ Anonymous (RTF & PDF)
3. FAQ Scientology (RTF & PDF)
4. Further Reading: "Time Cover Story '91" (PDF)
5. EXAMPLE Handout (PDF)
6. EXAMPLE Poster (PDF)
7. Photographs (JPGs)

Things to do, off the top of mah head:

  1. Rewrite the Press Release to suit Operation Fair Game STOP / May 10

  2. Are the FAQs about Anon & Scientology all they can be?? Needs critical feedback, scrutiny and revision

    [InDesign files for Press Release & FAQs + April12-PressPack has RTF files for editing]

  3. Further reading: We need to rethink what we want to include here, make more relevant to May 10 action too? Aussie press stuff? SA press stuff??

  4. Select better photos – maybe those sweet panorama photos from the last raids? Maybe something altogether different. Needs input.

  5. Examples of handouts and posters: will use binaryburger's Fair Go Poster and excellent Fair Go Leaflet


Likewise, we can scratch it and start over.

But, we need to start pooling our resources though and get this sorted. Researchers, egg heads and all Anonymous; we need your input!

+ do you have any other ideas for gaining press coverage for the Anonymous cause?

Re #3: Scientologists who did courses on the Freewinds, the CoS' little boat, have been exposed to blue asbestos, which is the worst of the asbestos family. Might be worth including that, as I'm sure some Aussie Scilons have been on the little boat.

Oh and also include stuff about Gregg in Boston and his trial – proof of fair game in action right there. I'll go dig up some links to put in the pack.

Ok.

Also, a copy of the fair game policy can be found here: http://www.xenu.net/fairgame-e.html – the name has been changed but not the policy itself.

(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE)

"OPERATION: FAIR GAME STOP" PROTEST MAY 10TH 2008

Worldwide Protest Against Church of Scientology’s Suppression of Free Speech

ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA – May 2, 2008 – On May 10th, thousands of peaceful activists around the world will gather to protest the abusive policies of the Church of Scientology. Protesters in Adelaide will gather in the north-west corner of Victoria Square at 2pm before demonstrating in front of Scientology's South Australian headquarters, on Waymouth Street.

This protest will focus specifically on Scientology's "Fair Game" policy, which states that persons or agencies which Scientology perceives to be 'enemies' may be "deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist… May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed."

Although Scientologists claim that this policy was cancelled in 1968, the wording of the cancellation is clear that "Fair Game" was cancelled in name only. Indeed, there are many examples demonstrating that the practice of Fair Game continues to this day; Scientology continues to harass, stalk, and sue its critics as well as former church members who have left the cult. Famous victims include journalists Paulette Cooper and John Sweeney of the BBC. As recently as April 28, a protester in Boston, USA was charged with 'Criminal Harassment' by Scientology, after he applied for a permit to peacefully picket the cult.

During this event, activists shall distribute informative fliers to interested parties and promote educational websites. Protestors will be available to answer questions from the media and public. A mass mail-out project will also be enacted, where the public will have the opportunity to send a letter to their local MP, in a united act.

For more reading, an information package about Scientology, Anonymous and the May 10 protest has been created for the press and is available for free download on <anonsa.org>

This is the fourth global protest in as many months being organized by internet-based, grassroots activists known collectively as "Anonymous". This international movement includes ex-Scientologists, long-time cult researchers, and concerned citizens from all walks of life. Previous protests drew 9,000 people in over 100 cities worldwide, to demonstrate in front of their local Scientology centres, while Adelaide's demonstrations have drawn over 500 activists in total.

Due to the Church of Scientology's policy of defaming and harassing its critics, those who wish to attend are being urged to remain anonymous and are encouraged to wear masks, scarves or other facial obstructions to protect their identity.
