Sydney Protest Pre-Report. 16/1/10- Anons Assaulted!

A very funny picture from WWP. They were discussing Aaron pointing at Hanna. In my opinion there is no doubt that Aaron was seen by Hanna and this was done right in front of him to provoke a reaction. Instead, he stood still and pointed it out, which was exactly the right thing to do.

That's also a ship technique... when someone goes overboard, any people who witness it point to the person in the water and continue to point until rescuers have also spotted the person.

That drill is done in the Sea Org. It might be used in other cases. As we see here, it was effective in correctly directing attention to the nut case Mark Hanna.

Yes, it's assault.
Forget about all this PTS/Scio-goes-crazy speculation; I just watched Zhents footage and that's a standard Provocation Caper.
Hannah ain't crazy unless you're thinking "crazy like a fox", that was an attempt to provoke an assault by Aaron/Anon.
It failed.

My thought too - Mark's too well trained to be doing something like that without reason.

Done to provoke Aaron into some sort of contrived assault.

Yes, the more I think about it and watch the video, the more this looks obvious.

I also suspect that this was a follow-up to to the Temp RO set-up, which was filed by a CoS staff. Mark Hanna probably thought it had been served, which it hadn't. But that was probably only because they applied in a wrong name and a wrong address.

If it had been served and Hanna had been able to successfully provoke Aaron, it would have landed Aaron in deep shit.

But Murphy was hard at work yesterday. :D

Congrats to all who ramped the pressure up so damn high that somethin-hadda-blow!

What blew? Scientology's mask....for a few precious moments.

Conclusion: That freaking raid must have been a BEAST! Looking forward to seeing the footage of what was being said outside the org. Musta been hotter than the Wall of Fire!

Keep up the great, great work!!!

Oh yeah, there is one other revealing moment. A split second after cops disentangle Hanna from being restrained, he instantly offers his congratulatory handshake and thanks to the police and quickly strides away... THIS IS SCIENTOLOGY PERSONIFIED!

SCIENTOLOGY 101: Effortlessly and remorselessly commit crimes, fraud and human rights abuses while positioning oneself as the champion of freedom and compassion. Viciously abuse the legal system thru hypocritically manipulative artifice whilst promoting any random button that a survey indicated people would buy. Then, when caught, hijack the justice system in claiming victimhood. Do all this with a clear-eyed righteousness befitting a planet saver.

Best moment? When the cops did their job and didn't let him walk away to appear at an IAS event to tell his huge win in order to solicit more money to support organized crime.

Hey HAB, another perspective......

Just after these reports were posted, before the first vid was posted, a major press release was being written by another to go out to thousands (a group outside of the critic community).

If that vid wasn't posted when it was, that release (based on the written reports, including one from me on the other thread) would have probably gone out, and it would have resulted in egg on a lot of faces.

I wasn't giving anyone the "third degree" or a "hard time", in my first couple of posts on the matter. I stated something that I thought needed to be stated, in order to alert anyone else about to jump the gun before we had all the facts and an accurate picture of what occurred.

Fair enough Carmel, I didn't know about the other report/press release. "Third degree" was an exaggeration on my part. I was basically trying to say the same thing (as you) from another perspective. It seemed like the posts were getting way out of hand based on a 30 sec raw-footage vid. And I didn't mean to single you out -there were a lot of posts/posters.

Yes, that handshake struck me too. :eyeroll:

I'm looking forward to the videos of the 4 hours of picketing and speeches that led up to this.
 
Poor old OSA, they have to attack. If they don't they are
not applying Ron's Tech. That would be RPF-able. It would be a show of lack of faith. It would show that they are not in control. It would show that they are overwhelmed. It would show that they are not at cause. It would show that they are not surviving.

So...attack they must. They are attacking themselves.
When they cog on that............scary.. freedom?

Not to me.....

"Malcom manages to struggle free" - I didn't see that....looks to me like Mark grabbed him, kissed him, let him go and kept walking.

"and the guy is now about to start running" - Didn't see that either

"Then , he lost it. Completely. White knuckles. A snare. Aggression." - Haven't seen that yet.

"And then he came for me down the road." - Didn't seem like that...looked like he was walking casually down the road. He walked straight past Aaron.

"And then he did the most bizzare thing and grabbed this protestor, tried to secually assualt him while assaulting him." - Not how I'd describe.

Yes, it was "assault", but the degree of it has been embellished IMO, and that doesn't do any of us any favours.

Hey, the CofS dishes out enough crap to get themselves in the crap....Let's tell it how it is.

I'm with you Carmel. I dont see flapping. I see a raising of arms, a hugging of a protestor and then an attempted kiss but no sexual assault. Yes technically being kissed can be considered an assault, but then what happens to Mark afterwards IS assault.


You have to do this right if you intend to bring down this organisation. This is just going to play in the cults hands and it will unite them rather than drive them away.

If Mark was going to be arrested, then let the police do it for pete's sake!

And do not embellish. That is what they do, not us.

Bullshit. Rushing at a protester and grabbing them in a bear hug IS assault. Maybe you like scary strangers rushing at you menacingly and grabbing you, but...

What Tamphex did to Mark is NOT assault, it was a "perfectly legal restraint" to make sure he stayed till the cops got to him, and that's a QUOTE FROM THE COP WHO WAS ON THE SCENE.

Oh in that case I was assaulted repeatedly on new years eve.

So this will now mean that the scions will be allowed to restrain protesters physically saying the police told them to.

There was no need to grab him from behind at all. The video clearly shows Aaron pointing out Mark to a police officer. Mark was not running away and the police would have caught up to him eventually.

Don't end up using the tactics they use. You do that and they win.

Just because there exist wanted hugs does not mean an unwanted one is not assault.

Unless you'd like to claim that just because most people enjoy sex, that rape is a fictional crime?

And no, Tamphex made the decision to restrain him and cop the blame for it no matter what. The police officer told him AFTER the fact that it was a good thing to do. The man was walking away and could have started running, or could have spun around and attacked someone else before the cop got there. Considering that Tamphex saw this guy going off his rocker BEFORE he started walking towards Aaron, he didn't want to take that chance.

I agree with RSG and the police. Mark Hanna was clearly out of control. Tamphex made the right decision, which Mark Hanna immediately proved by lunging at another protester and grabbing his iPhone out of his hand.

And please spare me the next excuse that filming him was provoking him. Film is the only defense anon has against false accusations and set-ups, which OSA uses as stock in trade.
 

I told you I was trouble

FWIW it looked to me (having now seen the second video) as if Hanna was demonstrating his 'ethics presence and enormous beingness' for the benefit of the audience (scios and anons) ... he was deliberately dramatizing as a part of his 'handling' because that would (in his assessment) communicate at 'wog level' ... :nervous:

I think the aggressive 'grab and kiss' may have been a spur of the moment thing and it has backfired spectacularly.

I agree that it looked like a bog standard OSA entrapment job that went wrong, he was hoping that Aaron would 'show his true colours' and assault him, justifying the 'AVO' ... and Aaron DID show his true colours by remaining totally calm under pressure.

:yes:

Knowing that Hanna genuinely believes he is saving the planet by saving scientology makes it hard to watch ... but that is part of the deal and these things have to be done to prevent the cult abuse continuing.

You did really well guys.

Awesome job, Sydanons. Fantastic work.

Mark's attempt to get Aaron to attack him failed, and all I see is yet another nail in the coffin for the cofs. A bloody big nail.

"We had our protest this evening in NYC.

I was "Aaron Saxton" too.

Pics to come.

We should have "Where in the World is Aaron."

I LOVE the "Where in the World is Aaron!!" :thumbsup:
