Sydney, Dec 20, 2008

[Kookaburra]

Sydney Anonymous had it's 11th major demonstration on 20th of Dec. The turnout was about 50.

The Scientologists (Cyrus & Claire and 2 helpers) greeted us at the AOSH with handouts of WTH, cake and Christmas cookies. We presented them with a gift bag of Christmas goodies because we know how miserable it is to spend Christmas in an org. I think it impinged. I just hope it carries through to some of the staff. They were also presented with an info pack of why we protest, which Claire had asked for. She sure got her answer. The pack was over an inch thick! I don't know that she was expecting that.

And we got new T shirts! Anonymous Loves You!

All in all, a fun and high energy day. Opening the dialogue should be interesting. We are trying to create THIS

Here's the link to the post game thread.

Thank you so much to the ex-Scientologists who protested with us!

It was a fantastic day. The police even blocked off the road for a few minutes so we could take a group photo with the Scientology sign as the backdrop:

I had some of RedSuitGirl's cake (it was delicious). I didn't get any of Cyrus Brook's cake, but I didn't hear any complaints at the time so it must have been alright.

The video seems to be gone from youtube. Try this instead: http://www.vimeo.com/2617505

What the ****! It was a video of a demonstration. How can that be a copyright violation?

Looks like we hit some buttons big time with this demonstration. We'll just have to do more of the same in January, I guess.

Awesome pictures, David M!
