[Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

I'd love to understand the politics of the sticky around here.

This operation has been stickied and removed 3 TIMES! (once in GD--moved to CA about a day later. Then stickied back--by Tamphex--to GD with a note to mods to leave it there. Nevertheless, moved back to CA within a day. Then a new sticky in CA, and again, removed within a matter of days.)

I doubt that has happened to any other thread. I know the author of the OPs (me and Ebeneezer Goode) are not famous critics or anything, but this operation is actually functioning.

Is there a mod troll out there who particularly hates this operation for some reason? Does it hate hug raids too?

We have reports that indicate that this operation is enturbulating the Gold Base. Can't say what they are -- I'll leave that up to the judgment of the exes. But since we cannot physically protest at the Int Base, this is the next best thing.

And oh yeah. CALL THEM UP and ASK TO SPEAK TO A SP HALL PRISONER. Info at: http://forums.whyweprotest.net/12-current-projects/operation-over-wall-follow-up-15095/

Oh goody----I just bought 200 postcards! (I love "outlet" stores).....

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

I'll sticky you again. I bet it's just mods moving stuff and stuckying and unsticking as various forums fill up with stuck threads, and then at other times, they're less full.

Consider it an amusing game - but perhaps PM Tamphex anyway - especially if you have good gossip and news of winz.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Please add 20. Tried to get them out by 2 today .

These were to the RPF in CA. not Gold. Sending 96 to RPF then restarting on Gold again.

I have 100 more cards I'm willing to share.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

+16 away to SP hall.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

+20 Postcards from Europe

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

You guys are good at all this internet love machine stuff, we need your help.

Some scilon behaving like a douche, fairgaming on youtube, anon calls in the harpoons, he gets all sorry and apologetic, leaves us an email address then leaves enturb.
The fact that he left an address suggests he wants help/wants out/has some doubt of some kind. To me it looks like a cry for help, though I'm no psych.
Anyway perhaps it would be worth talking to him. but BE NICE. He seems like a good kid, and Tory did all kinds of crap when she was still brainwashed, and we love her now.
I think we can help this guy.

Edit: I'm not putting the address in this post because you shouldn't send an email if you haven't read the thread. And don't send an email unless you are confident you know what you're doing and prepared for a serious conversation. We don't want to spam him

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

This may be more than some are prepared for (like me; I know I am not or ever will be as well versed as 1/10th of the anons on this board or ever as eloquent as many OG.)
How about just inviting him back for real converstation with folks who care about making his future realistic. Isn't that part of what we're hoping for? Real life for those trapped in the Truman Show?
Me, I can send postcards. And emails.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

I'd love to help with the postcards, but I'm as skint as skint can be, so there's no way I could bulk mail to the USA. Any way of finding the list of people in Saint Hill UK? They'd probably get very enturbulated getting postcards from York, having just shipped a sainthiller up and back (5 1/2 hours each way) in a day to talk here.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Can you network with other UK anons? Write a bunch up among yourselves. Then PM someone over here. Mail them in an envelope along with a cashiers check for postage and someone here will remail them. This has already been done very successfully.

A good place to do this is at the next protest. Take up a collection for the mailing to the US and the postage. See the vids in the OP.

US domestic postcard stamps are only .37 per. (that is like a little over 15 pence UK, due to the crappy $$),

Anyone willing to volunteer as a US remailer, please PM me. We need to have some locations that are not in SF or NYC.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

We should definitely start postcarding the UK RPF, especially after the excellent mini raid on Saint Hill at the weekend! If anyone has any names, post them up, we have an address:

Walsh Manor
Walshes Rd
Crowborough
Sussex
TN6 3RB

Why stop at the RFP? Could love bomb all staff!

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Anon1957--please add 20 the tally. These are the 2nd batch to the RPF. Thanks-T'tied.

1st June batch - 20 on 6/3/08 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

All these pictures look the same but I promise they're all different! :duel: (in honor of Sea AAAArrrrgggghhh)

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Done tonguetied!

RE the UK RPF: I would LOVE to hit them with the Internet Love Machine as well, but we need some real names. If not those of people actually on the RPF (and according to reports in the Win in Grimstead thread in Breaking News, there are about 350 there), then names of others who work/live there. If a UK anon can get us some real names from the OG there, PLEASE post them here.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Hi anon1957....20 for today, Wednesday 6/4/08

June 4 next 20 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
june 4 next 20 con't on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Re UK RPF - I think 350 would be the number of staff around St Hill, or maybe the number at Walsh Manor, the RPF is more likely to be around 20, unless they have had a mass of people RPF'd lately. NAMES PLEASE UK EXES! POST HERE!

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

OP - Please add 10 more cards. My first batch, sent to the first ten on the list - 5 June.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Another 10 cards just went out from Canada!

HI Anon1957--
Please add 20 out on June 7.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Coming out of Lurkerville to say that I will be joining the Operation in the next few days.

What are the logistics involved with the RC plane/leaflet drop? Does someone live nearby who could do this? I live on the opposite coast and have never flown an RC plane before, but if $100 is a realistic figure I'd be willing to finance part of the operation.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

since i've been gone for over a month, i'm wondering if the cards i sent to gold were counted? i posted a pic of them in the other thread. i sent 39: one to everyone being held in the sp hall.

so, if mine haven't been counted--could ya'll please add them?

thanks.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

21 cards out on June 10. Is the tally current?

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

I wonder if they're getting many phone calls over at 1-866-XSEAORG inspired by all these postcards....

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

oops, about a week late reporting, but 14 more away to SP hall.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

I've completed another 39 to SP Hall.
I am curious too, about what happens when they call the number. What kind of help do they actually get? Who answers the phone at 866-XSEAORG, and have they gotten any calls yet?

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

10 away to SP Hall from Canada.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Tally is current now!

Adding 20 from me to the RPF in LA.

AnonMom, all cards from previous thread are included!

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Thanks anon1957--still like to see the numbers go up.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

I just stumbled into something that might be of aid for getting postcards on the cheap. I was just cruising eBay and typed in "postcards lot" and came up with over 70 auctions offering 10 to 600 postcards. The prices go from .99 to about $10. You can also get hits from "postcards bulk" Just check to see if they are unused.

I like this, both because it is cheap and you can pick up cards from around the world.....just to give the folks at Flag something pretty to look at.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Should be getting some postcards to send this Monday. Could anyone shine a light on how many 1st class/2nd class UK stamps it would take to get a postcard overseas, please?

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

To the US it's 81p, which is three 2nd class stamps.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

That's about 60p/postcard more than it costs if you send from the US, I think (counting currency conversion; egads). If you have a lot of postcards, or know other anons near you who're also doing it, you might save money by putting them in a box and shipping them to a US Anon.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

Would any US anon be willing to post those cards from us in the UK, if we send them over? I've got a few friends who are writing postcards too.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

anon1957 is coordinating this so the postcards come from different parts of the US as well. Please PM anon1957 for further info.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

So, I decided to /lurk with this operation. Sorry it took me so long. 40 postcards are on their way, with the following message:

That went to the 39 inmates. The 40th was addressed to "Int Base Director of External Security," c/o SP Hall, with the following text:

I know it's likely that no one will ever read them, but major win anyways!! :alien:

I'm planning on following up, too. The plan is: next week sometime, I'll get a payphone and call SP Hall 39 times, asking to talk to each inmate by name. When I inevitably get turned down, I'll ask them to take a message, which will be some variant of "Please call me at 1-866-XSEAORG to confirm that you received my postcard, or I'll have to report to the Postmaster General."

Then a week later, I'll file that report! If the rest of you do this too, we could make a major push for an investigation. What do you think?

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

4 sent from sunny Cancun.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

I took some postcards to Vancouver's June 14th and got 40 filled out and on their way.

Re: [Operation Over the Wall: Postcards from Paradise] Phase 2--tally and report

THEY'RE FINALLY HERE!!!!! ALL 107 POSTCARDS FROM THE NEDERLANDS!!:hooray::hooray::hooray:

Flickr: pencils in a bun's Photostream

It's a long story but the post office here finally allowed me to pick them up and I bought a roll of stamps and photographed the lot. I wish I could get every message but they are all great and the cards are so pretty and colorful! Kids and I will be stamping them today and sending out over the course of the week.

I'm so sorry it took so long for them to get to me but with Postal regulations changing it was a bit of a bog. Now I've got it right and will be more than happy to re-post for others from overseas. Just PM and we'll set it up.

Much love to the Anons and OVER THE WALL THEY GO!! :hooray::hooray:
