Post Game Reports -- Operation: Raid of the Valkyries (20. Januar 2009)

Raid der Europapremiere von „Operation Walküre“. Im Vorfeld wurde schon Kritik in den Medien laut dass Tom Cruise, fanatischer Scientology Anhänger, den deutschen Wiederstandskämpfer Stauffenberg spielen soll, da Scientology in vielerlei Hinsicht an die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus erinnern lässt.

Still with the other guys, but: we pwned Tom Cruise - hard!

Full Story shortly, but we now have a VENDETTA MASK SIGNED BY TOM CRUISE.

Yes, our very own BerlinAnon46 was the only one who was NOT kicked out at the red carpet (sneaky, dude!), and when TC showed up he first got his mask taken away by Tom's security dude, but Tom demanded it back and SIGNED it!

and here's the real kicker: we even have video of it!

More when we get home…

wow… that shit was epic.

Getting into the crowd was our first plan, but they saw us and helped the securityfags. A few managed to get in - with security people seeing the masks - but after a time, they noticed that epic amount of V masks, so nobody was let in with it anymore… and they searched the crowd for the other people which they of course remembered. I did not notice any random people being dragged out, but well.

We then decided to put our masks on as soon as Mr. Plazenta shows up. We did, chanted „No Scientology!“ until cops told us to be quiet because our little protest was not registered with them. They were not amused, but still nice and shit. Media caught everything on tape, so we hope to see some of their footage soon.

Hamburgfags supported us, Kopenhagenfags also said they would come, but I didn't notice them.

Loldon, do it better than we did. BRACING FOR EPIC!

Okay guise I am home nao and my adrenalin lvl settled.

I really regret to not have talked to most of the berlin Anons, just watching them beeing dragged out by security.

This was for me pretty hard seeing one after another of us beeing caught, and you have to pretend to have nothing to do with it, its like seeing your guise go down and stuff.

about the random people, I there was security taking guise out directly near me, they did not have masks, and from the look at thier faces you could tell they had no clue what was going on. One of the later complained about this to RTL, a German private channel.

My adrenalin lvls were pretty high the whole time, since I got the feeling I was the only one that had infltrated the base. I am pretty glad that a berlinfag also made it and could delver better than I did.

I could only tell Mr. Cruise that „the internet is watching you“, and then escape the guards.

and I was close guise

But it was a good feeling to see so many Berlinfags out there, and the determination, the independent acting cells, the preparation with the sekrit websites the decoy threads about the Hotel protests, the trolling on 888 etc …

This was pretty exciting and well done by the Berlinons

WOHOO! Back from Berlin! :D This was so fucking great guise! ;) Even though we got pulled out..

When I got there, I saw that they were checking the bags of everyone wanting to go near the red carpet.. Me, having a mask in my bag, went into McD and hid it in my jacket, hoping they would not check me there.

As I came up to the entrance for the „fan area“ I've seen about three guys being sent out quite harshly by security. Judging from the looks on their faces, they were real fans and then pissed. When I went over to get in, they searched my bag, but not me luckily. Later on I heard that quite some innocent fans were pulled out aggressively by security. Hope they told this the media.

Up front at the red carpet I could see some other anons, all playing normal TC fans, drinking the free coacoa and muffins that were given out. There was a $cilon right behind us quite some time. Guess he was one of them telling the security who might be anon so they could pull them out.

About 10 minutes before TC got there, me and four other anons were grabbed by the arm and told to GTFO by security. As we went into the direction they told us, we weren't sure if we had to leave that area entirely or only get away from the carpet. One of the security guys started getting more aggressive and told us we better keep moving or he would make us. From the sound of his voice it sounded like it would be more then a bit shoving if we'd stay, so we went.

Outside of the „fan area“ we met some anons who told us plan B. Until then we waited in different areas until TC came. Then we gathered, put on our masks and started chanting as loud as we could. A TV-cameraman came over (think it was ZDF) and filmed us, but the police came over quickly and we had to stop.

Later on I heard from another anon that when he tried to get near the red carpet, they took his mask away before letting him in. When he wanted to get it back afterwards, it had been stepped on or something. Anyway, it was damaged and unusable.

Well, all in all it was a great evening in Berlin. Many kudos to the BerlinAnons with the idea for the Twitter page! (Was sitting at work this morning: F5 F5 F5 F5… :D )
