I'm jumping the gun a little, but I'm very excited about tomorrow's protest. I think it's going to be a good one.

The thing I've noticed is that people really have the system down now. The signs are better. The music is better. The message is better. People know what to do.

I am personally working on a Marcabian ensemble that involves silver boots and antennae for the protest in Tustin tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to the reports from other OCMB members. Not to single people out, but it seems to me that MOUNTAIN VIEW ROCKS. You guys totally have it down, with the perfect mixture of exes and anons. Woot.

Here's a really good video by LRonHu88ard to get the juices flowing for tomorrow.

Also, here's a funny one. It's a hilarious "Message to Anonymous".

Thanks. Great minds think alike Glibby. I was just gonna do a thread myself. Very Happy.

I hope that events in the last week or so, the Hamburg conference and the decision in France to charge the cult with fraud, have injected an extra spurt of energy.

Also don't forget that Gregg in Boston is yet to go in court and have his protest rights trampled on yet again and phony charges formally read to him of disrupting a worship of god Surprised brought by the local cult-friendly DA.
Don't stand for this bullshit. Protest the cult.

Of course lets not forget the theme for many of these protests: SCHOOL'S CLOSED (some locales may have alternative themes).

Yay! The Auckland report is in. It's so cool when the NZ protesters post their report the night before the SoCal protest takes place. It's a great tradition, like Santa Claus and Christman Eve.

September 13 mission accomplished.
16 anonymous vs 4 scilons.
550 flyers in the hands of Aucklanders.

There is increasing public support.
The general public really despises the cult.
Lots of car horns honking in support and
people wanting to shake our hands.

There will be a video up on youtube on Sunday.
Great work all those who attended.:hooray:


It's like watching a wave in a stadium IN SLOW MOTION.

You can actually get into enturb?
I've not been able to access it all day apart from a fleeting lucky glimpse at the main forum selections.

Oh yeah, nice report from Auckland.

Getting ready to go. Looking forward to everyone's reports.

Note to Moderator: It would be nice if these monthly reports had it's own bold heading like Opinions & Debate. I feel when you move it to International Picket it gets lost .

Plymouth report:

Re: Plymuff: Anons deny OT powers
Ive just got back from the protest (had to leave early due to health stuff).... and what a great day Smile

1) It was a lovely day.... and the sun was almost burning at times.
2) The general public seemed much more aware about the cult than ever before. The recent oschaper internet news wave, magazines etc.... THE MESSAGE IS GETTING THROUGH!
3) The police officially told the cult to STOP CALLING THEM....
4) We saw a delivery of more books to add to their growing pile of unsold Flubbard literature.

On the way back, I went into the police station to thank them for their change in policing methods re: our protests. We've noticed a big shift in attitude, which makes me guess that the local force have been officially briefed about us and them. They are not biased towards us, but it does seem as though they policing fairly, and are allowing us to legally protest.

The police told the cult to stop calling them...that's rich. Heh.

Brilliant work, Plymouth Anons!

Hannover report:

Quote:
Hannover 13th September maiden Protest.
This is the first ever protest held in Hannover. It was not epic but it was win all the same. I just happened to be in Hannover at this time and decided two days ago to take part in the protest. So I got me another mast in the intertubes, mine is in Spain and met up with Maddin, Matze and Snake at the train station. That was it four Anons but the nice thing about it is that we all came from outside Hannover. Matze and Maddin had done all they could in advance to get a permit but to no avail. They were sent around in circles until it was too late so we decided to give it a go never the less. Well we didnīt have much to loose. So we put on our masks and walked through the city informing the public till we got to the Org. around 12:30. We got some good reactions, some thumbs up and some utterly confused glares on the way. Well now at the org we noticed that there was no one there, we checked the door only to notice that they open at 1:00 pm so we made ourselves at home and got some honks, cheers and a few funny looks till the first Scilons arrived. Across the street about 200 meters away I noticed a PI taking some pictures and some old dried up Scilon cow across the street snapping away. We shouted over the street to her that it was not too late to blow and she ran off. All in all there were three Scilons taking pics. About 45 mins later the cops turned up. They were polite enough to let us leave our masks on although we were participating in an illegal protest. They jotted down our names checked our IDs and took a pic of us with my cam for enturb. They also informed us that we had to leave for at least 8 hours, I expected that to happen so to me it was just important to let the Scilons know that we had found them and that we would return next month. The Scilons were scared and running around in circles until the cops came some of them didnīt want us to see them going into the org. Well talking about Orgs. it is the most pathetic lowdown org that I have ever seen. I was followed but that is another story pics will be up right away, cheers iaxiloll


Subsequent post:

Quote:
Oh I almost forgot to mention that the Cop in the pic seemed kind of happy to see us and was generally high spirited. After he asked for a flyer he said that he regretted to tell us that we had to leave. And that one should always be cautious when dealing with the cult.
(all emphasis mine)

EO is not running at all for me and some others. It appears that, in their attempts to stop the bad traffic, innocent IPs or IP ranges or whatever are being caught up in the filter.
You can read the forum via one of the anon web proxy sites bit it is still hit'n'miss, extrememly limited and clunky and I've just given up on it all.

It is at a dead crawl (and often just dead) for me as well. Proxy works hit and miss and direct link is always an error.

Sydney report:

Quote:
Sydney Operation Preparation H
Sydney's main raid will be on the 20th. This weekend we just planned small-scale flashraids.

On Saturday a group of anons did flyering at Town Hall, with boombox, dancing and all the rest.

After the raid, an incident occurred. It was described by the 2 anons who were there as "major". Following police advice, the details of this incident and video footage will not be released yet. I'm very curious, but I think it needs to be kept quiet at the moment for legal reasons.

Moar tomorrow!

Perth report:

Quote:
Re: Perth, Australia
Down on numbers, someone did a headcount that put attendance at 28-30.

A lot of signs which was fantastic, and the route was pretty good. Quite a few people brought flyers too, which was nice, and the public were asking for them (may have had to do with one sign saying "read the flyers").

It was also nice to have music, and whilst there wasn't a lot of support for chant starters, it was certainly a louder protest than last month.

I'll put some pictures up later on.

Brisbane report:

Quote:
Re: Brisbane, Australia
Today was pretty good, more of the usual.

About 20 - 30 of us showed up, waved a bunch of signs, played music, danced like idiots, handed out several hundred flyers, talked to a few people in depth and had a good time.

And cheeseburgers (thank you Lime Green!). We had cheeseburgers.

Adelaide report:

Quote:
Adelaide, Australia
Ok, well the Adelaide Royal Show was on today, so that sapped a some of the regulars. However, we had some new anons show up as a result of our recent articles in Student mags, and poster campaigns. In total about 15 of us today. Following Brisbane's(?) lead last month, lollies went out with hundreds of fliers damming Scientology. More dianetics dollars went out also. The new route (up and down rundle mall) was a bit tiring, and we ran low on fliers! Good public response tho, half the anons kept lagging since they were getting into coversations with the public. A bit odd, because the police didn't show this time. Either they forgot... or they've finally stop listening to Co$ attempts to call us 'terrorizers.'

P.S. dogFud apparently bumped int Kevin Foley down rundle mall! Apparently he was too 'consumed' with a spontaneous conversation on his phone to even look up and notice us and accept a flier... boourns! Anyway I'll let dogFud expand on that!

Frankfurt report:

Quote:
Frankfurt, Germany
With some of us back from their Marcabian beach vacations, it was time to man ze harpoonz in ze Vaterland. Scifags were overflowing with joy and brought a fancy welcoming party. Lots of girls even, but more of the heavily thetan clustered kind. Well, a nice change after the sunny beaches of Marcabia...

Chalk tech got them enturbulated well. Caek was epic, as well as moist. Public loved us, as always. Overall lulzy, would raid again.
