Chaos ensured at the start of the raid, as no-one appeared to be at the meeting point. Anons were soon wandering around the city looking for each other. Somehow most of us managed to converge at the AO, only to find the sneaky scilons had setup a subterfuge the likes of which had not been seen before! Others will have to come forward to explain the depths and desperation of the deception, but basically they had managed to move the event last minute to the Randwick Racecourse event centre (AJC convention centre). It looks like they put a LOT of effort into trying to throw us off the scent, they even rolled out the red carpet, setup a truck barricade and installed OSA security bots - all a charade. Of note: we did see a few regular public scilons going into the AO, apparently expecting an event it seems, so it looks like this switcheroo really was a desperate last minute act. With the realisation we had been tricked, quick thinking was done to organise carpools to Randwick. Eventually after escaping the hell that is carparks and traffic in Sydney we made it Randwick where we found James and Liz had already been set up for a while with their epic banner. It was getting late now (7:20PM) and the original event should have been well under way, however the relocation must of thrown a big spanner in the works because cars continued to trickle in till when we left at 8PM (there were also a few arriving by cabs or walking). It seems a lot of enturbulation was had with the signs, but I'll let others explain that because our group came late. So all in all, an eventually fairly successful raid, management must be furious we found out about their change of plans and hunted them down. The chaos of the first couple of hours was not so good though, and this will need to be fixed. Contingency plans are being made to cope with any future scilon shenanigans. Knowing how many attended the event is a very difficult figure to estimate due to all what happened, it would seem to be in the region of a few hundred though. All the usual players were spotted on the night: Tojo, Michael Gorden, Cyrus Brooks, Virginia Stewart and Edward Dickey. Also I took my time in Sydney to visit 201 Castlereagh, much to my [lack of] surprise it was still in the same state it was 1.5 years ago - abandoned. A video: On our way to Randwick we happened to pass Virginia Stewart and Michael Gorden You might remember Michael from the Raiding the RPF raid. Virginia is a spokeshole for Scientology Australia, and I am told her father recently died, but she had been disconnected from him for 20 years. A couple of images: Poor ol' Tojo, blindly filming us as usual: James and Liz's epic banner set up outside the Randwick event centre entrance, you cant miss it! Same ol' idle org Expect to hear more good things from this raid, James recently posted this:
It's good to see the "games-playing" Scilons actually play a little game with you, for once. Even better to see you beat them at it, of course.
Doesn't that swoopy awning thing to the right of the Idle Morgue entrance dump water on people going in when it rains?? Oh! Forgot, no one goes in do they? BigBeard
James and Liz have posted a couple of videos: The first shows the asians who saw the sign and apparently blew the event, and of course the omnipresent Tojo.
