I managed to take some time off to make it too this protest.

Pretty decent one all in all, though I am getting very concerned about the anonymous signal to noise ratio.

I had an excellent high-ARC comm with an Asian SO handler whose name I don't have. Much was discussed, in particular how the media/governments can control and manipulate information. We both agreed theres always two sides to a story, and that groups always have individuals who differentiate from the group - she seemed to understand that anonymous are not all 'hackers on steriods' 'internet hate machine', and that there nice people in there (like myself ).
Oh yeah, its not anonymous whose getting payed off... its the ex's! Though not from the psychs, from the media! I think she said Marty/Mike got $100,000 for them talking to the media, or something similar. I believe it was implied the Media is suppressive, and are only interested in reporting against Scientology, which is why they supposedly buy these ex-members to tell extraordinary tales against scn.
Also, in her x years on staff she said she has never seen any of the abuse that is much often mentioned
Gave her my email at the end of the day, will see what comes of that.


Now on to the good stuff, empty orgs!
At Sydney Org there was about 10 Scientologists visible. Seriously only saw a few go in/out. Jack Pinto (I think it was him) was there, but no angry confront this month. Jack and another public whose name escapes me also turned up at AOSH ANZO surprisingly enough...
AOSH ANZO was pretty much the same as Sydney Org, dead like I have never seen it before. Less then 10 public coming in/out, a few SO members were around.
Oh and quite surprisingly Scientology had hired private security this month! Why, we haven't seen private security for 2 years! Doesn't bother us in the slightest, we keep doing what we're doing and it just wastes them money.

Also zero confront from Cyrus Brooks, Michael Gorden was mysteriously absent, and Edward Dickey wasn't in uniform.


I also made a visit to 201 Castlereagh, though I might post an update in my Ideal Org thread about that.

Will hopefully post pics/vids later.

I did also note a considerable lack of Kookaburra.

[Kookaburra]

Sorry Zhent. I had one of those sleepless nights and wasn't up for that trip and all the activity on zero sleep. I left that behind in the SO!

Glad to hear it was a good demonstration and that the orgs are empty.

So who is it I pick up my back pay from, again? Sorry to hear you don't get any.

Looking forward to the video.

While I'm waiting of video, here are a few photos.



Yes.... vuvuzela tech is sweeping the globe!




Anons arriving at Sydney Org.




I think these pipes are new, and I believe they indicate a solar hot water heating system? Hmm....
Also of note is that they have removed the security camera on the North side, while the South side now has gained one!






Some of Gottabrain at central




Here are our new security guards (AOSH ANZO), I think they guy on the left was also at Sydney Org.




Strangely enough, Tojo was out and about at AOSH ANZO.




Some poor kid being used as an IAS promotional tool.






Now here is something interesting, during the protest a car pulled up and this lady unloaded quite a few large boards and bags. Wasn't quick enough to get many pics of the contents, but I did get the above two. The first reads "NUMBER OF SCIENTOLOGISTS IN SYDNEY WHO HAVE THEIR BASIC BOOKS AND LECTURES".
I'm not sure if the second picture is a list of those Scientologists, as it was on a different board. I did lol hard when I opened the picture on my computer and read the first name available - Danny Matara - one of the Scientologists who went fucking nuts at the February protest and assaulted protesters.

The rest of the list reads;
DECEMBER 2009
1. Norah La-Grazia
2. Danny Matara
3. Helen Cameron
4. Graham Oliver
5. (looks like something is there, but too faint to read)
6. (looks like something is there, but too faint to read)
7. Damon Markopoulous (??)
8. Rob Parkork (??)


Maybe later I will upload the pix of the Scientologists I saw, if anyone is interested in ID'ing. Can also do that in private if people want...

Nice to see that Tojo finally got a haircut.

And holy shit, has Rake come back?

[AnonKat]

Love the Vuvuzela-Tech

[Kookaburra]

Check out the tone levels.

Look at the faces of the protesters, then look at the faces of the Scilons.

[Panda Termint]

I'm guessing the scn'ists "feel attacked".
