Background
Operation Anonville, July 26th, marked the six-month anniversary since the IRL raids began for Project Chanology, Anonymous’ ongoing movement against the malicious practices of the “Church” of $cientology.
Anonville was a Sydney-only protest, aiming to be the largest anti-Scientology demonstration in Australia ever, featuring Anonymous old and new, local and interstate, whether they were in it for the lulz or srs bsns. A mere three days before the date, the newly appointed police chief for the Sydney metropolitan area expressed his discontent towards the Anonymous of Sydney. Apparently he had received multiple petitions claiming Anons had vandalized Scientology orgs and assaulted Scientologists. This made him VERAR ANGREE and said we were not allowed to protest, likening us to Hezbollah (lol) with the masks. However, with the combined efforts of two hardcore Anons, they managed to sweet talk their way with Superintendent Srs Bsns and they successfully got our protest back! AROO! AROO! AROO!
Despite Scientology’s efforts to thwart us from our cause and demotivate us, the exact opposite occurred. Never before had we been so eager to protest against this vile and sinister LYING cult!
Part 1 - The Admin 11:00am
The day finally came. Many familiar faces from previous protests showed up, as well as interstaters from Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane and a whole TWO from Melbourne! A whole bunch of new Sydney anons had turned up for the party as well, no doubt impressed with our previous efforts and finally wanting a try. While we were expecting a turnout of 200-300, only about 150 were present at our peak. However, the energy and vibe was so strong, and for what we lacked in numbers, we made up for tenfold in spirit.
Despite rain initially forecast, the sun was shining brightly. This was perfect weather for pre-march fun such as twister, meet and greets, photo opportunities, Kitty’s epic GENTLEMEN, badge purchasing courtesy of Phobes and Deat from Melbourne and thunderous music from the combined effort of Sydney’s TWIN PA’s and interstate boomboxes.
Upon Kookaburra’s arrival, we were saddened to hear that David Graham, one of Sydney’s most legendary SPs, was unable to attend that day. He did write a speech beforehand, which was read out by a Velvet in his absence. Kookaburra also made the announcement that the postcards to SP hall were in effect once again. It was then finally time for the opening speech, courtesy of Armband Guy. Anyone with the cheek to suggest that it wasn’t the most epic speech ever held at a Sydney protest would deserve a good spanking, and not the kinky kind.
To prevent the problem with Sea Arg regarding the Black PR disguised as our own flyers, a sekritly organized blue colour scheme was implemented so the Scientologists would not be able to infiltrate. After the speech, a round of Xenu Says began while an army of Anons swarmed in to get their share of delicious copypasta.
Part 2 - The March 12:00noon
As the clock struck noon… the march began… and Vicki Dunstan trembled behind her desk, horrified of the prospect of having to stay up all night to figure out how to control the negative publicity that was sure to follow.
The march went smoothly, and keeping in line with Anonymous’ reputation of being the most pussy-whipped protest group in the history, we obeyed all law enforcement and traffic signals. We covered Pitt Street mall where a sea of smiling and confused faces greeted us. Many flyers were handed out, photos were taken lulz were had and the Safety Dance was welcomed by all.
Part 3 - The Picket 1:00pm
Finally after the arduous march, Anonymous arrived at Town Hall, swarming to our usual spot near the emo steps. Boombox Guy linked the PAs for DOUBLE NI… Pwnage… and the real flyering commenced. Two interstate femanons had an epic Catnarok battle, ending in… WTF?? PEACE!?!
Multiple reports from undercover Anons revealed that unsurprisingly, the Black PR was back. Learning from our mistakes from Copypasta, we acted appropriately and enturbulated the Scilons good and proper. This was made possible by citing OTIII material to them, following the Scilons around, replacing the fake flyers with real ones, making Scientology look even more batshit insane and asking them questions they couldn’t answer, which Goldmask has proved to be a fricken MASTER at.
Special appearances were made by RatTail Kid and the tragic asswipe troll Dr. Pawz (who likened us to the KKK, making the public lol at him, causing him no doubt tremendous butthurt and lose). The traitor AnonProphetOrg proved just how much of a spineless pathetic loser he was by not following his threat of showing up to disrupt our protest. Chubby Black Spiderman Mask Guy and Rainbow Mask Girl were confirmed as being Scilon Spais, and quickly GTFO’d when they found out we were on to them. We were disappointed by the lack of an appearance by our favourite Scilon TIMMEH! But we used our powers of perception, sensing his presence from the shadows, knowing that he was watching longingly with a single tear tricking down his face, wishing his cult would let him be friends with us.
Kookaburra eventually made a speech, giving more insight into how Scientology drags you in and keeps you in. Many Anons would know the basics, but for the many newcomers and Joe publics, this was very informative and interesting. She brought a truckload of caek with her in sweet, decadent and healthy varieties. OH! And RSG’s legendary cookie cakes were also present.
All was not merry at Town Hall though… Tamphex, another notorious SP was falcon kicked in the groin by a lad. It’d be unfair to directly blame Scientology for setting this up, as all lads are halfwitted violent tards to begin with. However, it is a possibility that the $cientology “church” arranged for it to go ahead, as it’s happened before. Luckily, the cops arrested the dumbass, Tamphex kept his cool and Bubba rubbed his hands together in anticipation for his new cellmate. Unfortunately, Tamphex and a few other Anons had to stay behind and testify as witnesses while the rest of the group went onward to the main target… 201 Castlereagh!
Part 4 - The Trolling 2:00pm
Upon reaching the church after our departure from Town Hall, we were met with some surprises… Not only was the infamous removal truck not present, but the Security guards were nowhere to be found. Funds must be a very pressing issue with the Sydney CO$! Inbetween classic anti-CO$ chants, Rage Against The Machine, Enturbulator009 and Smashing Pumpkins, the spark which made the initial protests so successful ignited once more. Never was yelling at a slab of bricks so much fun!
The official leg of the protest ended here, with local and interstate Anons expressing their thanks and admiration of the dedication and spirit of all Anons present over the megaphone. Cheers were had, hands were shaken and the Co$ bawwwwwed.
Part 5 - Bonus Round! 3:00pm
However… what’s this? BONUS ROUND WUT? Yep! Unbeknownst to the interstate Anons, there was in fact another org in Sydney… the Asia Pacific HQ for Scientology. Working on the success of previous raids involving us paying a visit to Glebe, about 30 dedicated and energetic Anons put their hands up to go troll there as well. We happened to meet the Black PR girls yet again as we were leaving, and they were dealt with by having a whole bunch of their flyers gingerly nabbed from them when they weren’t looking (fair’s fair, CO$) and they were told repeatedly that they fail.
Upon hopping on a couple of busses, the remaining Anons travelled to glebe. Upon passing EB Games, five or so Anons entered and asked if they had Battletoads yet, after months of waiting. “NO!” was the answer, so they left. Tired and battle-scarred, the Anons trekked and struggled, eventually reaching the very heart of the Asia Pacific Scientology organization… only to find the usually vibrant lobby pitch black… Only a couple of Scientologists walked in, much to our disappointment, but we were cheered on by the locals peering from the car park as we reached into the very depths of our enturbulating souls, singing and dancing our hearts out to Haddaway’s What Is Love, Zero Wing’s All Your Base and Michael Buble’s Home. Despite the eerie state of the lobby, Scientologists were seen being ushered hastily throughout the building by their handlers. Some waved back uncomfortably to us, but the highlight was truly the Scilon who smiled at us (looking rather genuine) and gave us the thumbs up.
As the clock neared 4pm, an entire five hours of protesting since the official start time, the Anons with their final reserves of strength gave the CO$ The most passionate RickRoll Sydney has ever likely experienced, hammering the message home that Anonymous is still here after six action-filled months, and is still there to help the brainwashed victims of the cult’s horrible practices, while bringing lulz and harmony to the world. This was considered by many Sydney Anons present as our finest moment. Exhausted and bathing in the supreme amounts of godly win that the day brought, the Anons either made their way back to their homes, basements, lodges, the pub or the sekrit (and dare one say, EPIC) afterparty organized by Red and Val. However they chose to celebrate, it was well deserved. The Anonymous of Australia truly won the day.
AND?... To sum it all up… Operation Anonville had the energy of February, the lulz of March, the srs bsns of April and the organization of May (let’s forget Sea Arg, shall we?). Verdict?... Best. Raid. Ever.
