March 15 Party Hard report Amsterdam

Received by mail. Dutchfags Party Hard --- Scientologists planned an impromptu "demonstration" and registered the area around their building a day before we did. Fortunately we were not asked to leave until the main group of anonymous arrived at 1pm-ish. There were some 10 to 25 anons from 11:00 till 13:00 (yeah dutchfags are lazy). Next time go time is 11! Around ten of the early people went to the BurgerKing at 10:30, and after refusing to take off their masks the BurgerKing was invaded by 5 police officers in bullet proof vests, together with people from train-station-security. After a short chat (and removing the masks) they were allowed to leave.. There were approximately 10 scifags and about 3 of their kids at the scifag building, handing out fliers, taking pictures, filming and even one guy with a sound recorder. The scifags seemed mostly willing to engage in conversations, however they seemed pretty poor at arguing their case. The scilons handing out fliers turned out to be a very good hook for talking to people about scientology. A quick, "hey, do you know who you just accepted a flier from?", was enough to get pretty much everyone to also take one of our fliers. After 13:00 we had to move to backup location: Beursplein. Half an hour later at least 100 anon arrived (to Yackety Sax) after a quick flyering/chanting run on the Dam. We had 2 Anons pointing people to backup-location, which was 300 meters away and a more crowded place. A few brave Guy Fawkes and anon working in shifts manned the church with about 3 or 4 scifags around them. At Beursplein a reading of OT3 scared off the first waves of scifags, the second and third wave (max 3 + one hired outside (no answers)?) are now in need of dire repair-auditing! After the first batch of flyers ran out (+/- 1000), anon delivered and managed to raise 120 Euros for moar flyers in less than one (1) minute. A few teams were formed to run back and forth between the protest and the copy machine. We (literally) exhausted the store's paper supply after about 1000 flyers and spent the rest of the money on cake and party supplies. Add to that the amount of fliers brought by individuals and we're talking about a significant amount of fliers. As soon as the "old timers" like Karin Spaink (+ girlfriend), Jeta and EX-OSA showed up the scifags went indoors, scared like babies and they did not come out for 20 or 30 minutes. They later returned with cool new blue t-shirts and flyers for "weg naar geluk" (road to hapiness)... Hey! Weren't they protesting drugs? A lot of Scientologists will need a lot of repair auditing after various Anons and notorious anti-scientology non-anons had their chat with them (no raised voices, no hate, just pure conversation)! Also, as a weblog noted, flyering for "your solutions" is not a demonstration! Their claim of a demonstration was invalid. They are a corporation; not a church! Next time, if Shell has a problem with Greenpeace protesting, they should get Volkswagen to flyer for their 2% more efficient car. At around half past four anon went back to the station, and stopped by the church on their way there to tell scilons we're never gonna give them up. We are Anonymous. We do not forgive. We do not forget. We clean up after our protests. Expect us.
