Post-Raid Report
Operation: Gatecrash marks Sydney Anon's 4th and largest Flashraid so far. Still not satisfied with their hunger for win, even after Anonville, the Sydney Anonymous decided to let the Scientologists know just how much they're loved by a craftily executed gatecrash at the Intercontinental hotel, where Scientology was holding its annual IAS dinner party, featuring the special guest: Jan Eastgate from the US. (For the uninitiated, she is one of the administrators for the Citizen's Commission on Human Rights, a very prominent anti-Psychiatry Scientology front group).
The info on the event was discovered through a leaked email (see below in Background). However, the Scientologists caught wind of our cunning plan, and decided to send ANOTHER email that was sure to be leaked, claiming that the venue had changed last minute. Anonymous, being naturally suspicious, were confused as to how just days prior to the event, ANY organisation could change a venue just like that. Obviously, the cult didn't expect us to actually CALL THE HOTEL and confirm it. Sure enough, it was still a go ahead. Silly scilons...
At 4:30, thinking we wouldn't actually turn up, Vicki, TIMMEH, Cyrus, Jan, Michael, Tojo and the gang arrived to see a bunch of two dozen Anons piled on the other side of the street, with signs galore, honking and public support on par with Operation: Party Hard, choonz blazing and a considerable amount of enturbulation. Completely butthurt over our presence, the Scientology heads asked hotel security to call the cops. Upon their arrival, the cops were informed of our permit and in fact started to chat in a friendly way with us, patting our backs and commending us for our good work. What was that, Mr. Security man? That never happened before? Deal with it. LAWL.
The supportive honking went blazing for a good few hours, scores of Scientologists entering the venue were met with signs telling them that they were part of a cult, that Scientology ruins lives and that they were downstat. Pizza hut delivered us some delicious nomz while we enturbulated. No doubt our meal was much cheaper and satisfying than their vitamin soup and protein shakes. Vicki made a surprise appearance outside the entrance, to be met with a massive Rick Roll from across the street, a "Hey Vicki you're so fine!" chant and upon seeing lighting up a cigarette, was dealt with a confronting megaphone-aided question that no Scientologist can answer: "Doesn't Scientology cure addictions?". Pwned Vicki. Epically pwned, dear.
At 8:30, our permit was up, and we left like good little Anons, thus ending a very enjoyable flash raid (aren't they all enjoyable?). We also hope that the Scientologists had a very pleasant evening, and that they weren't swindled out of too much money.
An opinion...
Let's look back at it for a minute. Anyone who attended yesterday can back this up. The energy is back with Sydney Anons. We have found the perfect balance of what works with our protests. Spirits were so high and we are motivated on a level that rivals our beginnings around February / March. To all international Anons reading this: Sydney does this right. Use us as an example of what you can achieve. We hate to brag, but seriously... SYDNEY DOES IT RIGHT.
P.S., to any Scilons spais reading this... I mean COME ON!. Give us some credit here. You think we are that dumb to fall for your trick? Here's some news for you. Whoever thought they could fool us like that is an IDIOT. Scientology Administration of Sydney... you are morons.
