Petition for March 15th

March 12, 2008 8:10 pm by

This is it folks. March 15th is fast approaching and the preparations for the march plow on despite a few red herrings. The following is a copy of a petition that we have drawn up in an effort to get enough signatures to request a public inquest into Scientology and it’s tax exempt status. This is the big one folks.

For those of you who are concerned about your name appearing if you sign the petition, we will be gathering public signatories and mixing up anon signatories amongst them, meaning your anonymity remains intact as you blend in with the general public. Few specifics are required, just names, signatures and your region. Please read this draft version of the petition and suggest as many changes as you like. All changes suggested for this weeks Media Release were added and your contribution on this would greatly benefit the final product. Now without further ado:

To the Honourable the President and Members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

The Petition of the undersigned shows:

That the public has become aware of the human rights abuses and corporate nature of Scientology. By exhibiting this behaviour we feel that Scientology is abusing its Tax Exempt Status and the rights of Australian Citizens.

Your Petitioners ask/request that the Senate should:

  • conduct a public inquiry into the practices of Scientology be undertaken to reveal the true extent of their “Fair Game” and “Disconnection” policies in Australia.
  • order the ATO to Audit the Church of Scientology to show the amount of tax exempt dollars used for charitable work.
  • consider that a third principle be added to the High Court definition of religion, being that a religion “must ensure the Human Rights of its practitioners (past, present and future) are not abused in any way as a result of joining, practicing, leaving the religion.

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.

March 1st Awareness Campaign a Success

March 1, 2008 8:18 pm by

AnonSA’s first attempt at raising awareness about our cause was met with great success. With a perfect turn out of ten people (one anon catching up with us mid-raid – TBC), allowing us to send out two small groups into the city to distribute flyers. We managed to distribute over five hundred flyers (edited and grammatically correct) by posting or handing them out with over two hundred and fifty making it directly into the hands of a public eager for knowledge about our cause.

The public reception was heartwarming to say the least, with the majority of people being cautious but curious about what we were saying. Many gave thanks and some indicated their interest in joining us on March 15th. To those who are new visitors to AnonSA we welcome you and invite you to read the information and interact with others on this site. Information is free and we wish to share ideas and opinions with anyone who is interested in finding out the truth.

We did have a few people who were disinterested, a couple of smart ass kids and a crazy lady, but all in all we were received well. To the citizen who we spoke to about his Mother’s own personal experience with the cult’s harassment tactics: please post a comment on this site to a false email. We will be in touch as we would like to raise awareness on the devastating effects Scientology has on families at our Rally in April.

Over the next few months Anonymous will continue to raise awareness of this Organisation, bringing into question it’s business practices and tax exempt status, it’s harassment and manipulative recruitment tactics, it’s past criminal activities and it’s current litigious nature, it’s beginnings as a pseudo psychology taken advantage of by a greedy science-fiction writer and many other practices that should not be tolerated from a religious organisation.

Our peaceful attempts to raise awareness will continue and we wish for all people to take part in our quest for truth as we look forward to the 15th of March. Please take the time to check out the Lisa McPherson Trust, Xenu.net, and “The Unfunny Truth…” and post any questions or observations on AnonSA. We are not cyber terrorists or religious bigots, we merely want to see the abuse of Human Rights cease. Thanks again to all those who participated in the awareness campaign, more details will be posted outlining our next actions.

The Quest for Tax Exempt

February 26, 2008 10:37 pm by

Before February 10th Anonymous was a collective of strangers. They drifted through the Internet, gathering information, playing games and dealing in the priceless currency of LULZ and Justice. Scientology had persistently tried to remove the LULZ from the Anonymous collective and that’s when the game started. As anon learned moar about the litigious nature and blatant disregard of human rights of this ‘religion’ we banded together to face the most epic battle for LULZ to ever be faced by Anon.

February 10th came around and many of us believed it would be small. A group of five. Maybe ten? Not even close. Over one hundred people showed up in Adelaide alone. Around the whole world we rose to numbers well over nine thousand. What had we accomplished? The information war had begun and Anon, in its constant state of epic WIN, had gained the attention of mainstream media outlets worldwide. Once the shock had worn off, Anonymous set to work.
