Trial Against Church of Scientology in France Begins Today

Scientology is probably going to lose this one because there are far too many victims who have been similarly ripped off.

PARIS, May 25 (UPI) -- The Church of Scientology in France is facing organized fraud charges for allegedly manipulating others for financial gain

Scientology could be shut down in France : "The Cult of Scientology could be shut down in France where seven of its French leaders are being charged with organized fraud and illegal pharmaceutical activity."

Kudos to those in France who have taken a courageous stand against these leeches.

Scientology's Criminal Practices

I came across ThetanBait's YouTube Channel the other day and found these amazingly accurate and professional videos I'd come across last year but lost the link to.
Easily in the top 10 damaging expose videos series on the internet. Note in the first clip, famous pianist Mario Feninger admitting he knew nothing about the abuses until the reporter told him. That was years ago and Feninger is still a scientologist, blindly ignoring what his cult is doing today. Shame on him!

Scientology's Crimes : Series of public service announcements and news clips detailing Scientology's criminal practices.



This is why thousands of people around the world protest Scientology.

"My Time in Church and in the SO" ---------- by Happy Aberree

UPDATED BY DEMAND to include all parts! 4/26/09
This is a phenomenal must-read story for anyone who ever partook of :


My Time in Church and in the SO
by Happy Aberree

Hello all, I promised to give you a story so here it is.

I didn't think it would be a very long affair and just wanted to let people know what my background was. But I soon found that once I started writing it down I couldn't stop. It's amazing when you have so much stuff held inside and no one to communicate it to, that once you do start telling it, it just floods out. Anyway, I'll do it in sections because its turned out quite long.

---Everything stated by me here on this site by the way, is of course totally my own opinion and thus could be true, false or neither (or even both).

My first taste of c0$ was in a small org in ANZO in the 80's. I had heard about it from a friend and listened to a Dianetics tape. I was still pretty young and had been looking for something worthwhile to do with my life. So when she said to go into the org, I did. I went through the battery of tests and started on the HQS. I also got a few hours of book one which were pretty far out. The auditor, I think now, thought he was a hypnotist. Or at least he had watched a lot of hypnotists because he definitely had the eyes and the voice for it. So I cured my hay-fever (just like in the tape I listened to) and told everybody about it. It's funny though that I still get hay-fever, but that's beside the point. I definitely wanted it to be true.

Within a few months, I had found out about the AO from some of the staff at the Class V org (they were actually class IV orgs at the time). They had told me that the AO (AOSH ANZO) was awesome and everything there was unreal and the staff there were in uniform. You have to understand that at the ripe old age of 21, I was still very impressionable (I mean more impressionable than I am now). So I checked the AO out. I talked to a staff member there and asked him what the Sea Org was. He told me, 'It just means you're a fully-dedicated Scientologist".

That was enough for me. I was trying to prove myself at something and this was going to be it. But I had some things to handle first (like my job and my mum-- who thought scientology was a health club). I thought it would take me 3-6 months to smooth everything out and save up some money to have in the bank when I joined. I told the SO member, I think it was John Willoughby, and he said something like, "Once you make up your mind to do something, then just do it. If you wait then the bank (sub-conscious) will key-in and you'll never do anything" Needless to say, he wanted me to join on the spot (or at least before Thursday 2pm when the stats ended each week).

I joined three days later (quit my job and family and friends). Looking back now it seems like I threw my life away -- it's a good analogy. Though I have had some great times in the c0$ and met some really cool people, I lost a lot too. The good times, I later realised, were really to do with the good people I met. You never admit that you lose anything when YOU'RE IN. You never admit to yourself that joining may have been a mistake.

---Everything stated by me here on this site by the way, is of course totally my own opinion and thus could be true, false or neither (or even both).

My stat on tour was Appointments Made (to see the registrar). Now I was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, $cn was going to save the planet and I was part of its highest order -- the $ea Org. I commanded respect even though I was still new on post. I had my class A uniform and cap and I was going to change the world. My senior was an awesome reg and 10-year Sea Org veteran. All the staff at the class V org called us 'sir' and looked at us with awe. My senior sat me down and handed me the call-in list and said 'Go to it!'

I picked up the phone, brimming with pride, and called the first number on the list of Clears and OTs in the field. And the guy said, "$cientology? Hey don't fu#king call here again, you got that?"

Whoops, must have been a wrong number.

Next call, "Yeah, yeah, look I told the last guy: I got no money and I'm not coming in. And why can't Rob call me himself?"

I had a list of hundreds of names. I imagined i would fill my boss' day with back-to-back appointments and even have to help reg some of the public myself. I thought that the people would be so happy to hear from a $ea Org member that they would all want to come in straight away and I would have to console them because they would have to wait until tomorrow. We were selling $cientology right? And not only that but the upper levels!

After talking all day to 'clears' and OTs in the field I was utterly spent. I had made about 4 appointments for about 100 calls. The best call I had was a sympathetic OT who tried to explain to me how things really were but she was very careful not to burst my bubble. She took her time and she could see that I was new. Rather than just give me an earful like so many had, she told me that I had to build up my relationships with people. Regging wasn't automatic -- you still had to be a salesman.

It was a small consolation. I couldn't believe how disaffected so many people were. I had to fight every inch on the phone to get every appointment -- and these were OTs. I dreamed of being OT!

Anyway, my stats sucked, and after a few tours they didn't improve very much. I also noticed that the staff at the class V orgs didn't look at me in awe -- I noticed they could see that I was green. The initial aura of the $ea Org was wearing off.

Later I found out that many people you call in the field are actually ex-$ea Org members. Many of the public at the AO were too. Maybe that had something to do with it; maybe not.

Over the years I got much better at call-in and regging too. And I had my fair share of face-rips for downstats (face-rip = when a senior removes the skin from your face through yelling alone). Compared to the guys and gals I've read about in higher management orgs though, my time in the SO was a walk in the park and it's not the main point of my story.

One of the last incidents I remember was getting back to the AO one day and the whole reception area was covered in petrol. Some guy had come in looking for his son weilding a knife and a can of petrol (which he proceeded to empty all over the place and then pull a lighter out of his pocket). He sliced the ethics officer's nose open before he got subdued by the crew. It was really far out. The police had already arrived by the time I got there. Still, it didn't sit easy in my mind -- people popping up and doing stuff like that in a church.

I eventually routed out -- I wasn't going anywhere in the SO, and seriously wasn't cut out for the strict discipline in that place. And back then, the discipline was far less than today. For example, out 2-D was fairly common in the ranks in those days (out 2-D means out-second dynamic and in the SO refers to sexual relations without being married).

It still wasn't 'okay' but you didn't go to the RPF or get off-loaded for it like now. And if you were a supervisor or auditor (or other key post) you wouldn't be in ethics for more than a day. Some of the repeat offenders back then got through ethics in one afternoon. From what I've seen nowadays out 2-D is like you beat up the Captain or something (although there were a few fights back then).

I had a small to average sized freeloader which I paid off after a year or two and pretty soon I was on service lines and working in Sydney (the city not the org). Now I'm going to explain what I saw over the next few years that led me onto The Bridge To Total Flee-dom -- rather than the details so much. For one thing my anonymity is quite comforting and the main point of my story is to help anyone who is right on that edge of wondering about the possibility of not being in $cn anymore.

The Bridge to Total Flee-dom
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the next installment:

--Everything stated by me here on this site by the way, is of course totally my own opinion and thus could be true, false or neither (or even both).

THE BRIDGE TO TOTAL FLEE-DOM

The first thing I noticed in the orgs that got me thinking questioning thoughts was the Golden Age of Tech (aka training in memory and not competence). Everything I had learned about tech revolved a lot around good communication yet the GAT seemed to short circuit that. Also they weren't written by anybody (or at least they weren't signed) so no one was responsible for them. Seeing Ron's name signed on every single piece of tech or policy was taken for granted and the GAT references were very unsettling in that respect.

Another thing that I thought was quite callous was that so many auditors who were great auditors but getting on in years had to re-do their entire training (and many of them couldn't) in order to retain their certs. So fabulous auditors and c/ses like Maureen and Dot ended up working in treasury or other non-tech divisions. Not to mention the public who had to re-train and pay for it.

I brought it up casually with a staff member and later more seriously with a supervisor. They basically just parroted some Int mgmt patter-response back at me expecting me to just suddenly realise that, no way could GAT be any sort of out-KSW (KSW#1 is a policy referring to keeping the tech of $cn totally standard i.e. unchanged). I was definitely doubting the staff in local orgs and especially the internal management that were overseeing this questionable GAT evolution. Without realising it, I had taken my very first step on The Bridge to Total Flee-dom.

I had done the DIM RD (Doubt Internal Management Rundown).

I was pretty indignant over the whole thing because the thought occurred to me that it was not LRH and people weren't even in an uproar -- they were happy about it.

At this stage I was hardly thinking of giving up on $cn but I was somewhat disaffected with the inconsistency between policy and what actually happened in orgs. I do remember a friend telling me that the highest number of tech trained staff had routed out of orgs in the history of $cn immediately following the GAT evolution. This only fueled my disaffection. It seemed that the smarter staff had left. The staff that stayed on in orgs seemed to be idiots. They would just do whatever their senior or management told them to do and their senior would do likewise.

Because I had been on staff myself I knew what boat they were in and how much sheer pressure can be brought to bear on you as a staff member -- even the execs get it from their higher org seniors. Even though I knew what they were going through I decided from then on to no longer take what staff said as gospel. That was my next step on the Flee-dom Bridge:

The DIS RD (Doubt Idiot Staff Rundown)

Though I was becoming more disaffected with the org staff, it indirectly increased my admiration of Ron. I would defend his legacy even though idiot-staff couldn't see what was happening.

The next thing that happened was purely by accident. I was getting quite interested and awed with Hubbard and his achievements and had collected most of the 'Ron' booklets (Ron the blah, etc). I tried piecing together a timeline to make up a kind of biography but I found there were a few gaps in his history. I remember getting quite anxious about finding out, so I innocently went on the internet and googled his name. Holy Messiah!

Now understand here that I viewed this man as the saviour of the planet and arguably the greatest man that ever lived. He did in his lifetime what 5 great men combined would be proud to have done. I was expecting to find all these independent sources praising him just like the c0$ did but for new stuff that I hadn't heard about. I read about his educational history; I read about his son, Quentin; I read about his personal comments on various things; and I read about his war history. In comparison to what I have since learned, it was only a fraction of the information out there on Ron, but it was too much for me.

I didn't feel well. In fact I felt quite ill for about 3 days. I couldn't believe the lengths people would go to to spread lies about a truly great man. And even though I justified it off, I was definitely having more questions. I mentioned it to a $cn friend at the time and she helped me re-focus. But I still didn't doubt $cn in any way.

Here's the next bit:

--Everything stated by me here on this site by the way, is of course totally my own opinion and thus could be true, false or neither (or even both).

I had not been going to events around this time and when I got the usual 20 calls, for some reason I decided to go. There were the same people as the last time plus a few new faces (about 5) and I got seated next to someone I knew. I noticed one thing was different: there was a small group of SO members in the front rows and every time the audience on the video applauded, the SO members would give a standing ovation which of course would get the rest of the 'real' audience joining in. I still remember the aghast looks when I didn't stand up.

I took this rather personally. A standing ovation was an audience-origination as far as I was concerned and it was also usually reserved for applauding Ron. I thought that if you used it for everything then it degraded the standing ovation for the old man -- like selling 10 dianetics books in Fiji was as important as Ron? I don't think so. So I endured the looks for the rest of the night. I didn't even like events anyway -- the idea of clapping to a friggin' video screen was ridiculous! We were clapping a video!!! And now we were being prompted to do it!

And that voice-over!! it was like an infomercial.

Events were the next thing that got me to thinking. Over the last few years there had definitely been a prevalence of events. And each one seemed to have a new release -- a CD about something or a Passport to map your bridge progress, some new previously undiscovered chapter in a book, or a revised edition with the correct sequence of chapters. How could it take thirty years to find a chapter in a book that was supposed to be treated like the Bible is in Christianity?

And there were more events now. There were regular IAS events and there were Maiden Voyage events. Knowing from my years on crew about the purpose of events (basically to reg people) I started to wonder, 'Was the church now using events as a primary source of GI?' and if so, why?

I would rate things by how many calls I got as to their importance within the church. Out of thirty phone calls roughly 20 would be for the next event (or to come to the org and watch the VIDEO of the VIDEO EVENT...I can't wait), 5 or 6 calls would be for donations to IAS or similar and the remaining 4 or 5 calls would be about going up the bridge. Big shift in importance there. On went my mental notes. So events were definitely important now.

This was the next step that I took on the Bridge to Total Flee-dom. I was doubting org events and it was getting me thinking about more questions. Not all was as it should be. Events were being given priority importance over moving up the bridge (the $cn bridge).

I had very soon done the DOE RD (Doubt Org Events Rundown) -- can also be pronounced: Doh! (like Homer)

Around this time, I noticed what can only be described as a 'charity-fest'. Suddenly I and others were getting more calls for IAS donations. I noticed that CCHR, Athena School and ABLE were jumping on too. All these $cn units seemed to now need donations from public to do their job. Or, now they were planning projects that required large donations from the public. Cannibalising was nothing new to me (this refers to over-regging of a stagnant or non-expanding field i.e. repeat regging the same people) and I had seen it done for years in ANZO but at least before it was for services!

This was amazing -- not only could you just reg whatever amount of money you wanted, there was now no product. You see before, the heavy regging was for auditing/training and when a person went through that reg cycle and paid the money, the org then had the responsibility (in order to complete the entire cycle) of SERVICING HIM. But this new charity regging didn't need that -- the product was the money! I'm not saying that regging for auditing stopped, but it just got less important, like you could be an active $cn'ist just by contributing money (rather than moving on the bridge).

here are the next comedy of errors:

--Everything stated by me here on this site is of course totally my own opinion and thus could be true, false or neither (or chocolate biscuits).

Okay so charity donations were in fashion big-time.

Even the AO was getting donations to help people join the SO (you would get asked to put weekly or monthly contributions to pay a person's bills so that they could join NOW). It was amazing. I couldn't help but think that for an organisation that was in possession of the only technology that could produce miracles to do 'fundraising' of any sort was ludicrous. And I was seeing less and less miracles.

Even the idea that the orgs were not all booming and bustling hives of activity was remarkable. Actually at that time Syd org was I think around 40 staff on Fdn and less on Day which was far smaller than it had been in the late 80s early 90s. Melbourne and Brisbane were about the same and Canberra was Canberra. It didn't matter. Even if they were slightly bigger than they had been, they should have been huge! How can you have all the answers to human nature and all the answers on how to administer its facilitation into society and yet not succeed at a stupidly-stellar level? And now it was charities. More food for thought.

It was around '03 or '04 that a friend of mine said that he had just come back from the AO -- and he was livid. Now this guy had been Clear for as long as I'd known him and he was a genuinely logical person. But he told me that he apparently wasn't Clear anymore. What made it worse was how he found out: in an un-metered interview with the D of P that took about 5 mins. Within a few weeks I discovered a few more friends who had been given the same r-factor (story) and learned from one staff member that it was a world-wide thing. Apparently there was no past-life clear thing anymore and practically all Clears were being told the same thing (not clear, sorry about that).

This was really getting me thinking. The first thought that popped into my head was the Y2K bug and although the computer company involved did furnish everyone worldwide with updated software and saved a potential worldwide cataclysm, they must have made a megaton of money out of it. Brilliant from a marketing point of view.

I was noticing how many of the big 'advances' made in the c0$ worldwide were continually resulting in public having to invest further dollars into their religion. Each big advance seemed to produce a very high-necessity to do some next level, review, donation, repair, etc. In other words, if there was any really big news coming out -- YOU'RE GONNA PAY BIG!

I also remember being told about a tech bulletin that discussed the point of invalidation of the state of Clear, and how to do so was highly suppressive (I haven't read it so technically this is verbal tech -- unlike everything else in this story). But I thought, 'What did that make the person or people who just originated this world-wide 're-call' of Clears?'

I saw people I had known for years who were devastated in one fell interview. They got hit so hard it was like a flash flood and they watched as the house that they had spent years to build took off down the street. I wasn't a happy camper. I was definitely doubting the management of the technology but now also the source of its application. Where was this coming from?

For me this was the DTs RD (Doubt Technology Source Rundown) note: I have also done the delirium tremens Rundown which is also called the DTs RD but is not relevant to this story. Thank you.

A major step toward flee-dom for me was when the Ideal Org Pgm came out. Now based on the phone calls I got, this thing was 5 times as important as any event or other donations. In fact the IAS seemed to totally disappear shortly after the onset of this pgm. I don't mean they closed down, I just mean they were knocked down on the regging pecking order. I remember you could say that you were being regged for the ideal org and any other reg would leave you alone.

So my first experience face to face with an Ideal Org pgm reg had me asking many questions.

You see the way I figured it, if most of the phone calls I was getting, were about the ideal org then you would expect a rather large amount of policy to be written on this activity. You know green-on-white telling you to go and buy new buildings and then build the organisation up later. How about 1 policy? How about none? At least I couldn't find one. And I will stand to be corrected on this but I'm not holding my breath. The policies referred to by the regges for this pgm have nothing whatsoever to do with buying real estate. It doesn't matter what the next 50 steps are going to be after you buy the building. Step one is off.

I had never seen a more ridiculous action done in my history in $cn.

It would be like an accountant working for himself for 20 years without getting anywhere, suddenly saying, 'Before I can expand my business the first thing I need to do is spend $500,000 to buy a new office and equipment (he already has an office and equipment by the way), and I don't have the money so I'll get it donated from my regular customers'. Now that might be a slight exaggeration but not by much. And if that isn't nutty enough, to complete the analogy HIS CUSTOMERS WOULD ACTUALLY GIVE HIM THE MONEY!

So I asked questions about 'show me the reference' and 'why can't the org afford it themselves' and 'you've got to be kidding' but I didn't get many answers. I did notice though that on the reg's project orders, some of the references were real estate books -- great. The actual $cn references listed (org pgm #1 and Ideal Org P/L) have nothing whatsoever to do with buying buildings. The most common reaction to my queries was an utter surprise that I was not jumping at the chance to save my org. This reg firmly believed that this pgm was the ONLY thing that would save the org.

Okay... back into it!

--Everything I write here on this site is totally my own opinion and thus could be true, false or neither (or chocolate biscuits).

That whole ideal org pgm thing was just a global 'why' (which is an impossibility) that has been forced on orgs planet-wide. One of the main problems I saw with upper management is that they would continually come up with these massive 'whys' (if you are not policy-savvy, a 'why' is the greatest departure from the ideal scene, in other words its the thing that will sort out the situation e.g. staff aren't trained, or no salesman on post, not enough promo, manager is serial killer, etc).

They would come up with these and then order their compliance planet wide; so whether you were Milan or Canberra you had to comply. But what it says is that the solution for Milan org is the same as the solution for Canberra org, and that's just rubbish. Anyone who has actually done a 'why find' in an org or department will know that it is very specific to that situation. There could be a Day and Fdn org in the same building and they could easily have two different whys respectively. And to order 6 staff to be sent up-lines for training on a GAT evolution from an org like Canberra (which often didn't even have 6 staff!) is just blind stupidity.

Anyway, I was now doubting upper management and had completed the DUM RD (Doubt Upper Management Rundown). I had taken my next step on the Bridge to Total Flee-dom.

After making such gains I couldn't believe that the next step would present itself so soon, but of course, it did. The BASICS; and it's a big one.

Now from what I remember of the event, there were gross errors that existed on the part of the publishers in the form of grammatical, formatting, missing chapters/sections, included chapters/sections, incorrect type-sizes (or something like that). And these errors had now finally been rectified through 9 gazillion hours of work.

Now I have to willfully control myself here so as to not just start spewing forth profanities willy-nilly.

So, calmly now, I am expected to believe that Ron wrote these basics over the course of a 10-15 year period and then 35 or so years after writing book one, he died. And these basics (the books anyway) are said to comprise the entire technology of $cn. I remember reading a policy that said that if you really understood the basic books and had full certainty on them, you could work the rest out yourself; they were that powerful (more verbal tech).

Okay.

Now these books contained GROSS errors that actually changed their meaning or the resultant understanding of them. And in all that time, Ron didn't notice that? Even if he was continually going from org to org non-stop working on expanding each area (not saying that he was), wouldn't it be more important to correct errors in the basic books of $cn? And if he was in the orgs and the basic books were so far out, you would expect major tech problems in those orgs -- which he would have surely seen.

Another thing I noticed at the event was that all this blame (there was about a ton of it) got put onto the old publishing companies or old staff who were distributing the books in the 60s. Which meant that very fortunately (funny that), absolutely no blame got put on current management. This is a habitual thing it seems:

1. Make a product and sell it; 2. Revise the product and re-sell it; 3. Improve the product and re-sell it.

Now this in itself is not foreign as a business concept or strategy. And it's hardly objectionable, as long as their is NO MONOPOLY ON THE PRODUCT. You have a product that you buy and a few years later, a better one comes out. If you want the better one, you get it.

Also if you're not happy you can always get a different product from a competitor. But within $cn it's more accurately this:

1. Make a product that is perfect; 1a. Sell it as the perfect product; 2. Discover imperfections; 2a. Make the product really perfect; 3. Sell it as the Really Perfect product; 4. Repeat ad infinitum.

And there is actually no competitor to buy from. The competitors are all SPs! Take a look: you want a different angle on mental health? Too bad because psychiatry is suppressive. What about another angle on the truth? Well that's out too because the media is suppressive. Different perspective on sorting out my illness? Maybe, but all drugs and drug companies are suppressive so not a good idea (and maybe the medical profession is suppressive too unless the doctor is a $cn). Surely I can get another opinion on management? You could if government wasn't so suppressive.

The real-world authorities (which are the ones who might question things within their spheres) are all viewed as enemies -- and you don't communicate to enemies. And you definitely don't believe what enemies tell you.

--which means you never find out that your group could be the enemy...

I was noticing some 'glaring out-points' and things were heating up. I was finally about to be 'fleed'.

Hey everyone thanks very much and here is the next installment,

everything here I write is my opinion bla bla maybe true or not or ham sandwhhiches..

Back to the BASICS...

The whole 'close' in the sales pitch is that these services, books or whatever, are THE TECH. They are perfect. Doing them will give you all the answers about that subject and so on. That's the main reason you buy. From what I had read about tech, $cn correctly applied is miraculous. Anything short of that is not (and is not $cn). So what were all the books that people bought over all those years, if there were these errors in them? Were they $cn? If they weren't, was that fair exchange?

And what about the money that people paid for them? The money had no errors in it; the $40 that Larry paid for FOT worked fine at banks and shops. None of it was later found to be counterfeit or malfunctioning. There are actually still people today using that money very successfully and it works fine. Yet little Larry finds now that not only does he have to pay $65 for the new edition, but that his old edition is 100% obsolete. As are all of his 12 other old editions, which are no good. He may as well throw them away -- they are no longer tech. Now how many thousands of 'Larry' are there?

So in essence the poor public pays again. Public pays for the expansion of $cn and the public pays for the contraction of $cn.

Actually regardless of the event -- the public seems to pay. $cn gets highest ever stats: public pays for new CD release. $cn gets attacked in Germany: public pays for IAS donations to fight Deutsch Suppressives. $cn crushes the psyches: public pays to get the psych-buster booklet (plus 50 more copies to hand out). $cn lifts arbitraries: public pays to re-do their bridge (without arbitraries). $cn gives bad auditing or incorrect c/s: public pays to get it fixed. I know that these are VERY general statements -- and if I wasn't so suppressive I would be a bit worried.

As a DUM RD completion I could see that the basics were just another money-spinner.

And this had been done extensively with courses too. It was a bit of a joke around the time when you asked someone if they had done the pts/sp course and they would say, 'Which one?' because there had been so many re-issues.

So I now doubted the basic books and lectures and thus took a huge step on the Bridge to Total Flee-dom by completing my DABBL RD (Doubt All Basic Books and Lectures RD).

Now well on my way to flee-dom, I found my first encounter with this site (and other internet sites). I had been told by various friends that several prominent and veteran $cn'ists had left the church and were now ranting all over the internet. I couldn't believe it. A couple of them (who I see are here regularly) I even knew or had met. There was also an ex-SO member who was on crew when I was, who apparently was raising all hell and giving out every conceivable detail about INT and RTC as he had been crew at both those orgs after he transferred from ANZO.

This was a big surprise. It was one thing for the media and psychiatry to gang up on the church -- they were suppressive groups anyway. But for $cns who had been around for years, EDs and Execs, SO members, big-time contributors, all to go (and not go quietly). How could they be suppressive? Some of these guys and gals had sweat blood for their church and given the major part of their lives to its cause. It didn't make sense and got me thinking further. I knew I was getting closer to the top of the bridge to flee-dom but in order to get there, I would have to do the next big step.

I promptly regged myself for the A-SCN RD (Anti-Scientology on the Net Rundown) and started the process.

Now you must understand that if you have not done the DUM RD and the DABBL RD then the A-SCN RD will not work on you. It just wont. Anybody who is not DUM and a DABBL will still have mechanisms in place that stop the person looking at information and cause him to justify ANYTHING he sees using $cn reasoning.

So I looked at a few sites and some u-tube stuff and I found it hard going. I wasn't getting through at the expected pace and I was definitely getting confused with the various information and views. Some of it sounded plausible but it could still have been made up. The entire thing could still (just possibly) be a huge conspiracy contrived by evil sps to attack the only true technology on spiritual happiness.

The last time I had done this, I had gotten horribly ill for days. I was determined not to fail but it was so hard to know the truth from the lies.

Was I going to get through? I really wasn't sure.

Okay here we go, nearly there guys please bear with me a little longer (everything I state here is opinion ie maybe true/false/cheeseburgers),

I had started the A-SCN RD and was stalling. Compared to what I know now, I had still looked at only a few sites/sources on the internet, and I still wasn't sure.

This is where I first found the ESMB and looked at the forums.

I had been curious about some ex-$cns that I had heard about from Sydney. I had known them to some degree when they were still on lines and contributing. After googling several versions of ex-$cn Sydney/Australia a post caught my eye.

I checked it out avidly read through and became more and more aghast as this lovely lady explained one of the last torments she had endured in the church. After a couple of installments I froze, "I know this person!" It was Carmel (Hi Carmel!) and I was totally amazed. As I read on I realised that I also knew this story!!! But the version i had heard was very abbreviated and had about 1% of the details that she had actually endured in her '9-levels-of-hell-inquisition'.

I couldn't believe this -- here I was worried about what might happen to me if I looked at certain things anti- to $cn, when this lady had gone 15 rounds with the Soul-Crushers -- and survived!!

The concept: "Fu*ck It!" appeared very clearly in my mind. I was calm. I was relaxed. Everything was moving really slow (like molasses in the winter time). And then I got really pissed. "You sonsofbitches. You snakes!! Not even snakes -- you eels in snakes clothing!!!

"F*ck you, I'm finishing my goddamn rundown!!" I promised. I had to quickly check with my c/s (that was actually me at the time) and it was green-light all the way.

I ran through a couple more posts.

"Yeah, you got that right!"
"Too right, mate!!"
"That's the goddamn truth!"

Then I found Feral's story and this was another big one for me, because I had known him also. I read his story. Holy Molasses! I had known him back when I was I on crew and knew of his contributions to a degree. For him to go through that and explain it as he did was amazing. Both these stories clinched it for me and I understood why.

These guys and gals -- I knew. They weren't an angry mob of SPs all spewing vitriol at anyone who approached. They were hard-core motherfu*kers who had paid sweat and blood for their church, their team. They had played hard for years at this game. They had taken hits that would petrify most people. They had fought and fought the enemy and not given in.

And their reward had been a big, shiny, glowing "FUCK YOU!" from the sponsors.

I carried on surfing the forums as the data sunk in. I was coming down off a high. The high of completing the A-SCN Rundown. Relief was just washing over me. Even if this wasn't the top of the bridge to total fleedom I certainly felt fleed.

--more soon, and thanks everybody for all your support!

Cantsay, one point I wanted to make, and its related to the whole stats thing -- STATS are priority #1 -- when I was in the SO. I didn't realise it until I was a public. Working in with stats and conditions formulas, is Successful Actions, but this is generally looked at in a very short-sighted way by (IMO) most staff. Whatever gets the stats up was the successful action. That's why SO and staff members stay up till 3 in the morning (because last week it got the stats up). But its not looking at any long-term effects (like uh... there's only so many hours in the day)

So yeah, if something made money then, it will make money again -- even if it was an absolute cock-up. If the public bought it, it was successful. And after years of VERY GRADUAL indoctrination you go from:

a normal person hesitating to spend $30 on a book....

to a person who will pay $10,000 for repair auditing to fix $5,000 of bad auditing.

Before the basics evolution, individual books were being revised on a far lower gradient (new covers, extra lost chapter, hard cover, etc). And people bought it. "I have the book but I will buy the new one because they said it was better" These individual book releases paved the way for the Basics Evolution -- ALL BOOKS. And from memory the books that LRH listed as the basics were not all the books that they have now as the basics (I may be wrong there but don't think so)

Same goes for services:
Person is sold the idea that 'Clear handles all psychosomatic ills'; goes Clear but still ill; gets sold the idea of Non Interference zone will screw you up; goes OTIII; still gets sick; sold idea that OTV handles heavier somatics; goes OTV still sick; sold idea new release of pts/sp course (with never-before-seen-refs etc); ad infinitum. As long as the public is buying it, the c0$ keeps spinning it. There's always something else.

Okay, friends I think this about it,
Okay (everything I say here is my opinion i.e. could be true/false/cheesburgers/rock'n'roll)


Firstly, a small technical aside to refresh your memories:

FLEEDOM BRIDGE (so far)

LEVEL--- COST--- ABILITY GAINED

DIM RD--- (free)--- can hold your integrity vs local org strategies

DIS RD--- (free)--- can treat org staff like anyone else

DOE RD--- (free)--- can differentiate between reality and video

DUM RD--- (free)--- is able to neutralise altitude (altitude of post or rank etc)

DABBL RD--- (free)--- can recognise and evaluate data for yourself

A-SCN RD--- ($9)--- can take it or leave it ($9 is the price of 2 cheesburgers to snack on while on the net. NB. prices for this level may vary)

TBA -- TBA

[you should note that the Bridge to Total Flee-dom has the first rundowns at the top of the page and the last rundowns at the bottom unlike the $cn grade-chart which goes the other way. There are two reasons for this: firstly the flee-dom bridge is intrinsically the opposite of the $cn one and secondly it brings you DOWN....to earth. You have to do that before you can move up for real and get on with your life]


I was feeling truly relaxed and fleed. I was still surfing around on the net and checking stories from ex-SO members from up-lines and some shocking ones were posted by these guys.

A thought occurred to me about the first time I googled $cn on the internet all those years ago and how bad I felt afterwards. I was back now and running with it with no trouble. But something was bugging me and there was still more I needed to confront.

Even though I was lurking on ESMB you should know I still hadn't registered anywhere or posted anything. Actually the thought of that still made me shudder. And so I hadn't actually contacted anyone on the site. My only contact with someone who was "out" -- was a long-time friend I had who was overseas and the whole time that we were in $cn we had known each other and gotten on very well. He was actually a contributing factor to me getting onto the start of the Fleedom Bridge and doing those lower rundowns that cut the path to the A-SCN RD. He was smart with it too -- he didn't just rave on about crazy cult stuff. He mainly just got me to ask questions.

Something was still bugging me so I checked with my c/s. When I got the r-factor back (from me), I was very happy. There was another step and possibly the final step on the Bridge to Total Fleedom. This step I was told, would set me up perfectly for my future. It was actually a ground-breaking discovery and I was honoured to be one of the first ones out of me to do the rundown. What was it?

The KR RD!!! (Know Ron Rundown)

Strangely enough I had touched on this way back when I was trying to find biographical data on Ron and didn't even realise that it was a step on the flee-dom bridge. In a way I was happy that I didn't continue with it back then; without being DOE, DIS, DIM, DUM or DABBL who knows what would have happened, right? Probably would have fried my head off.

So I regged myself and found that as a founding member of me I qualified for a huge discount. It worked out costing me about... NOTHING!!! So I could get started straight away. This I have found is the major rundown and what I found on the internet about Ron has basically made me totally certain that I will flee.

Now you may think that I immediately concluded that Ron was a maniac and that means everything he ever said or wrote was absolute garbage. Not necessarily. Though I no longer viewed him as I had before.

I did not suddenly hate him or think that he was a monster or that sort of thing; it was far more subtle than that. I simply realised while doing this step that as a $cn'ist, I actually believed in Ron first. You see the tech all comes from him. And then I realised that $cn IS RON. In order to truly doubt the church you have to truly doubt its founder. Until you can question the founder -- and break the link between him and the church --that very last mechanism will stay in place and keep you seeing things through only $cn eyes. 'What would Ron do?' and that sort of thing.

I know there will be different viewpoints on this and I believe there must be. But for me, the instant that I considered that Ron was source was the exact same instant that I became a $cn. That's the instant I stopped looking at anything else. And the early indoctrination in the church is doing everything it can to nurture that belief. That is the making (or breaking) of a $cientologist. And all that happened on this rundown was I simply changed Ron from "source" to "a possible source".

My admiration of a person is based more on his achievements than on his irregularities. It doesn't matter that a rock-star has a different sexual orientation to me if he produces great music. The fact that Sherlock Holmes was an opium addict does not dull my admiration of his powers of deduction. Ron still did what he did, and as a friend recently pointed out: he was still primarily responsible for putting all these people together. Not a small thing. But like any person, he was flawed and the biggest insult from the c0$ is that they expect you to believe that he was not.

Now this an ongoing rundown. Unlike many here, I did not get to OT. I did not do up-lines management training. So I did not have experience of the entire green vols or the larger part of the bridge. But I can still work with what I do know. And it just means that I will know to test things for myself and to continue learning what I want to learn.

This could easily be the final step on the flee-dom bridge. And I think it becomes a personal thing from here. I reckon if you got to this point, then the only rundowns you would do after this would truly be your own rundowns. And because everyone here has such different histories, qualifications, case levels etc it wouldn't be necessary to describe the rundown that I am currently on (apart from: "it's great!").

I can sort of say it with a couple of lines out of a movie. These are two kids talking on a hill.

Chuckie: "I know what I want."

Fresh: "Yeah I know what you mean--I have this dream."

Chuckie: "Like what?"

Fresh: "Oh, nothing. I just have it that's all."

And that's how I feel -- my dreams and hopes and passions are my own, without needing to align with any other doctrine or discipline or person unless I want them to.

And so the KR RD is the final step on The Bridge to Total Flee-dom:

LEVEL--- COST--- ABILITY GAINED

KR RD--- (free)--- knows who is, was, and always shall be SOURCE (hint: do you have a mirror?)


I would like to truly thank everyone here and for all the support I've gotten from the people on this site, and especially to those who have made this site possible. It's been a blast sharing this -- writing a KR to the org just doesn't quite cut it.

I would still like to continue the story started here but probably on another thread to give $cns doubting the church some much needed help, support and perspective for their own hard journey to come.

Last thing -- if you haven't read Carmel's story and Feral's story, read them now. They'll knock you for six. There are other stories that I'm finding now here and it is all confirming what I now know to be true.

If I had any advice to give to a $cientologist who is not happy and is looking on this site, it would be: First, keep looking -- if we are all SPs and you know that, you should be sweet. Second, ask yourself: Of everything you know of $cn -- if all that were true of some OTHER group -- would you feel the same way about THAT group as you feel about $cn?

Thanks again everybody!
Cheesburgers all round

Without wanting to interfere with your creativity, it got me thinking that the "grade chart to Fleedom" could have on it somewhere; "Knows who he was and knows he never wants to be anyfuckingwhere near there again" as one of the "EP's

Cheers DB. I think that EP you mentioned is a very close second EP of the KR rundown but because the rundown is available to anybody (including little chilluns) it is not stated on the Flee-dom Bridge due to the profanity-content (though I will check with the publisher as I don't think "anyfuckingwhere" is officially a swear-word). lol [..]

OK, so there you have one person's experience in Scientology and it's Sea Organization which will be appreciaed by thousands!

Check out the whole thread with commentsMy story from inside Scientology by Happy Aberree

News reporter Nathan Baca & KESQ go inside the Church of Scientology

It all started when Riverside County began restricting Anti-Scientology Protests
News Reporter / Assignment Editor Nathan Baca and the team at NEWS CHANNEL 3 KESQ.com of Palm Springs, Coachella Valley, CA took note of the protests and the hearings over & about Scientology's Golden Era Studio 'slave compound' and finally got their long awaited interview with the cult lackey and wow, have they done an excellent job!

Nathan Baca's EXCLUSIVE series of interviews with Scientology PR man Tommy Davis, son of actress Anne Archer show that this news atation is not afraid to ask the hard questions and get an answer.

KESQ says of Baca
Nathan's journalism philosophy is to "speak truth to power," believing it is a reporter's responsibility to keep local politicians and law enforcement accountable to the public for their actions.

Well, Thank God for men like him! A friend from anonymousdc.com sent me an email with all the links to this revealing and well reported interview series on the hard questions other reporters fear to ask Scientology.

So, please take some time and check out Parts 1-4 or the complete series 1-9 :

Part 1:The Battle Over Scientology:How the Lines Were Drawn in Riverside Co.

Part 2:
Tug of War Struggle Between Activists, Scientology Hits the Internet

Part 3:
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION: What is Scientology?

Part 4:
High-Ranking Scientology Official Explains 'Anonymous' Booklet, Videotaped Arrest

Part 5:

WATCH: The Complete Tommy Davis Interview 40 Minutes of Raw Tommy Davis Interview

As anondc of anonymousdc.com wrote:
"This interview is major. Exposing Scientology's collusion with Hemet lawmakers around Gold Base, getting the CoS to admit Xenu and space aliens are a real part of OT3, and basically stomping on the crotch of David Miscaviage. Enjoy, Anonymous. "

Well, I don't know about the crotch part but I'm certain this series has his head spinning and the orders flying. Nathan Baca certainly showed, as one anon said "balls of Steel" for getting this done. Thank you.

Mark Rathbun To The Courtesy Desk

Marty Rathbun, aka Mark C Rathbun is a former high ranking scientology executive who recently posted 2x's over at Ex Scientologist Message Board, seemingly oblivious to the impact his 'I'm a squirrel for hire' post would have nor the terrible impact his actions and past as a leader in Scientology have caused others.

Maybe these court documents filed by Marc and Claire Headley and the below video will enlighten him to the suffering others have had why many former scientologists and other critics would like him to come clean and join in with us in exposing the crimes committed in the name of scientology.

Still Mad As Hell


thelastanon describes this video: "What's this all about? A tribute to anonymous, the OG and everyone fighting the cult of $cientology.

Since early January, an Internet collective known only as Anonymous has been exposing the criminal activities and corrupt practices of the Church of Scientology (CoS) and its leadership. We do not oppose the rights of the "church's" membership to believe in the "religious" tenets of scientology. We oppose the illegal, immoral and deadly acts of its leadership including and maybe most importantly their attempts to suppress free speech on the internet."

That said,Mr Rathbun, please consider the broader picture and gather up the courage to help right the wrongs as others have done. Perhaps a consultation with an experienced attorney ie: Barry VanSickle or Graham Berry, on all that you know would be wise. Many people are counting on ex members like yourself to do the right thing.

More Narconon Tax liens

Recently, reports have surfaced documenting tax liens the IRS and state treasury departments have been placing on Narconons & The Church of Scientology across the USA.

I posted what was found over the last couple of months and now I'm posting some more.

Narconon Stone Hawk Rehab Center in MI( aka A Forever Recovery ) owes alot of tax to the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Michigan Depart of Treasury according to lien judgements on record. With interest compounding daily, Stone Hawk could be at the $750,000 owing mark with the IRS.



Here we have liens on taxes owning and in one case, paid of, but they are still owning alot to the Michigan State Treasury:





Maybe that's why Narconon is currently doing business in MI as "A Forever Recovery"

Now, back to Narconon Georgia aka Narconon International, Inc in GA. Seems they owe much more in quarterly payroll taxes. This one coveres was was owed for the 1st & 3rd quarters of 2008. 9412 tax is withholding payroll. Looks like they may have fiinally gotten busted for not paying taxes on all those 'independent contractor' $100.week slaves they had at their facility and it's illegal residence.






Expect more.

Hey, Mary Panton (aka Mary DeMoss).. I'm Lobbying You

Mary Panton aka Mary DeMoss

infamous harasser of critics exercising their constitutional right to protest, wonders why the more intimate rational people in her life have been leery of her.

Minimizing what she's done in the past, she chalks her actions down to bad behavior in response to "some kind of small-time joke." Bewildered that the man she loves wants nothing to do with her anymore, she blames it all on his friends interference but doesn't seem willing to see that these people did what they did in the best interests of the man she call's Dr. B.

From her very own blog, in what appear to be attempts to find true love again and some 'good pr' attempts, we read:

"When you fail to seize the honeymoon moment, you don’t get to the altar, or to the children, or to the 25th anniversary holding hands under the moonlight of a star filled sky. You just get to sit on the couch and wonder what went wrong. "

"I have behaved badly myself and had it documented on camera and spread across you tube where it will live forever. Of course, at the time I believed wholeheartedly in what I was doing and never even contemplated that a picket on a street corner in a small town would live internationally and gain me such notoriety. I thought it was some kind of small-time joke."

Listen up, Mary Panton , lobbyist (aka Mary DeMoss). I'm Lobbying You.............. because that son of yours is no joke and someday he's going to read all about you on the internet and all that you've written on your blog and you need to be prepared to be held accountable to the little one you love, a tougher fish than big one that got away.

Regarding your past behavior regrets and your self indulgent intimate life post portraits, you 'can't have it both ways' no matter hard you ignore that reality.

There is life in Scientology and there is life outside of Scientology and what you seek outside of it will never be found inside of it. Try accepting that you acted like a Nazi and you did it because you agreed to do it and that you were oppressive in what you did and that you, like everyone else in the world, have to be accountable for what you did in the past and no amount of lamentations is going to make anyone here believe you have changed unless you apologize from the heart and repent of it from the heart and show the kind of true humility you would want from someone who had done the same to you.

Perhaps then you will be able to understand why this supposid Dr. B of your's left you and his friends intervened to help him as friends; why he chose no relationship with you rather than one with a woman who has the experience and potential to harass and stalk people exercising their right to freedom of speech and to protest. I pray you wake up because you'll never find & keep the love & truth that you seek because you just cannot have it both ways.

Narconon and their Federal Tax Liens

I see that Narconon, one of several infamous scientology front groups is in the news again.

Narconon International dba Narconon Florida,Inc, just got busted for under-reporting payroll and not paying the IRS the appropriate payroll taxes in 2006.

I thought it was just an isolated case when I found that Narconon Georgia got busted for not paying appropriate payroll taxes earlier this year. Seems they too didn't have the money to pay it off, at least at the time I saw this:



Narconon Georgia got busted for the year 2007, as you can see here.

It's good to see is that the IRS is auditing Narconon payroll records. I suspect that there are more of these liens out there and more audits to come.

Scientology Front Group " Second Chance" Caught on Camera by Officials

The Miscavige Legal Statements – a study in Perjury, Lies and Misdirection

Here's a re-post of an important recent statement authored by Lawrence(Larry)Brennan, a former member and high ranking administrator of the Church of Scientology.

Whenever Larry posts, I listen because he's one of the most important witnesses to the deceptive corporate shenannagans played against the IRS by the Church of Scientology, L Ron Hubbard and David Miscavige. Here's his latest:

“The Miscavige Legal Statements – a study in Perjury, Lies and Misdirection” – Posting #10 – November 11, 2008

As covered in the first posting of this series, I am here listing a quote by David Miscavige in a legal document.

I. David Miscavige’s Quote:

From “DECLARATION OF DAVID MISCAVIGE” – Larry Wollersheim vs. Church of Scientology of Calfornia – 15 October 1999:

(link–http://www.gerryarmstrong.org/50grand/legal/decl-miscavige-1999-09-24.html)

“33. During the late 1970's to 1980, while producing religious training films, as well as 1980 to his passing in 1986, while in seclusion continuing his research and writing, Mr. Hubbard lived away from his wife, Mary Sue. This point is important. While Mr.Hubbard was the Founder of the religion, he did not hold any corporate position. His role was the inspiration and Source of the religion's teachings. Mrs. Hubbard was the head of the Guardian's Office. As the Founder's wife she was, of course, held in high regard in the religion. The GO was, in fact, answerable to no one except those in the GO, and Mrs. Hubbard held the highest position in the GO”.

II. The truth about the subject matter quoted:

In the above quote Miscavige carefully chooses his words to try not to perjure himself. For example he talks of L. Ron Hubbard (“LRH”) living away from his wife and holding no corporate position. And, he says that MarySue Hubbard held the highest position in the Guardian’s Office (“GO”). What he carefully omits is the meaninglessness of these statements.

Corporate “on paper” control was never the real control used for any length of time within organized scientology. Although he did not hold corporate controls on paper then, that never stopped LRH in the slightest from ordering into and controlling all major sectors of organized scientology including the GO. Whether or not he physically lived with his wife had nothing to do with his ability to order into the GO yet Miscavige states that to mislead the reader into assuming the fact of their physical separation actually has some relevance to the issue of control of the GO. It does not.

While Mary Sue Hubbard was indeed in a senior position to the Guardian World Wide while she held a position entitled “Commodore’s Staff Guardian” (later to be renamed to “Controller”) she was not in fact the senior most person to run the GO. Miscavige’s statement that she held the highest position in the GO is misleading at best. The fact is that while LRH had no title as being over the GO, he was in fact the senior most person over the GO itself.

Mary Sue indeed gave many orders into the GO and oversaw many activities of the GO. But the policies that the GO was trained on and the major strategic orders to the GO were overwhelmingly by and from LRH. This includes many policies, “Guardian’s Orders” as well as many of the major GO plans, programs and orders.

I was a fully trained and interned Legal Staff Member within the Guardian’s Office with over 9 years of experience of legal under Hubbard, mostly within the GO. Between July 1976 and July 1981 I worked at the headquarters of the GO in East Grinstead in the UK known as GO World Wide. I can tell you that there were so many LRH orders, programs, plans, etc (and compliances to same) in those GOWW files that it took some 100 or so GOWW staff and students weeks to vet out them or remove them from GOWW files alone after the FBI had raided GO offices in the USA.

These showed years of LRH control of many GO activities.
In just the GO legal “corporate” area alone, LRH himself was deeply involved in major corporate evolutions and scams from the beginning and in fact directed the GO with respect to handlings for same throughout the history of the GO.

This included corporate matters where money was secretly funneled to Hubbard for years and goes right up to and through that actual corporate sortout in 1981-1983.

A few examples of LRH controlling corporate/legal GO matters from personal history include:

1) LRH being the one behind the mid 70s "Greater Churches of Scientology" plan that GO US was following to set up backup corporations for each "church" corporation in the mid 70s. This was so new corporations were ready to start in the event the IRS seized all assets of church corporations in the US via jeopardy assessment. LRH wrote then that the real assets of any org were its staff and contacts and not the cash, buildings, etc. so he instructed the GO to get ready with backup corporations that could be funded from financial sources outside of the IRS's reach if needed. (Note: the wildest thing really about "all the IRS problems" through the decades is that most stem, not from GO mishandlings, but from the abusive written or other policies of LRH himself including the millions of millions of dollars he insisted constantly inure to his own private benefit).

Again, LRH was causing the problems, not the GO. And, he was directing the GO to cover them up;

2) You can see documents from earlier posts on alt religion scientology by others seized in the FBI raids on "the church" showing Deputy Guardian USGO's telexes to LRH where LRH's approval was being gotten on funds to use to purchase the Fort Harrison Hotel in Clearwater. CSC (Church of Scientology of California) funds could be used and they would secretly go though a phony front corporation called "Southern Land Development and Leasing Corporation" (SLDLC). Hubbard was not only behind this but his approval was needed on anything major that the GO did involving this. I myself was on the first "SLDLC" mission in Savannah, Georgia where I and a "Commodore Staff Aide" were checking out the Savannah Country Club as a possible location for Flag when the ship came ashore. When that was given up as not practical, Florida was chosen and LRH himself had to approve it being Clearwater;

3) After the whole SLDLC/UCF (United Churches of Florida) scam blew up in Clearwater, I wrote a corporate program to stabilize "Flag" in Florida. It was LRH himself who wrote to me with his approval of what the program covered and asking me to get "Flag" a consumer's certificate of exemption there so that it could operate and not have to be considered as a business and have to charge sales taxes. I did that and complied to LRH;

4) In GOWW, LRH constantly had to approve major corporate structures and other legal actions. He had to approve CSC being used as the main corporation in the UK for a time (when it was thought CSC would be tax exempt in the US and that would be a good positioning for the UK);

5) LRH's were the orders I had to follow to set up the first WISE corporation in Liechtenstein (which we didn't use as LRH did not like the "Limited" in the name as he said that killed the PR for WISE);

6) I had LRH's own orders on Corporate Sortout Matters from the early 80s where he pushed first one team and then my own team to come up with legal solutions to mask his control of the organizations of scientology and gave his own instructions on how to brief the attorneys;

7) LRH's own orders were used for the actual corporate sortout
missions that put in such things as RTC, CSI, broke up CSC, etc.;

8 ) LRH’s orders were the ones followed to set up and get operational Scientology Missions International in a way to get great tax advantages and to try to avoid legal liabilities. A copy of one of his orders on this matter is contained in section 16 of my declaration from May 2008: http://evil.scientology.googlepages.com/crs.pdf

9) LRH continued to order us well into 1983 about all that and more.

I could give many, many more examples but the above are given to point out that it was LRH who controlled the GO back then, the legal actions it took and it was that same LRH who controlled it after the GO, despite all that Miscavige says to deny this.

Likewise Miscavige’s statement of LRH being in seclusion from 1980 to 1986 is equally misleading. Not only were his orders used in 1981 to help restructure organized scientology corporately but for much of the time that I was on the Watchdog Committee in 1982 and 1983 I received and complied to orders from LRH weekly covering major legal matters involving organized scientology, royalties, etc. At that same time LRH was ordering me on such matters, he was also ordering all of the other WDC members on matters involving the sectors they oversaw.

Miscavige frequently uses corporate veils to hide the real controls by saying people had no corporate authority and thus could not have controlled organized scientology. However to Miscavige and LRH before him corporate was only a cover to hide the real controls. I personally educated Miscavige and got his approval on much of organized scientology’s corporate structure and have personal knowledge of hundreds of examples of his violating it while he ran organized scientology when employed in Author Service in the early 1980s despite his statements under penalty of perjury to the contrary

A great deal more can be covered on what Miscavige lied about in the above quote but this information should be enough to make my point.

(III). My vote: “Perjury”, “Just a Lie” or “Simply Misdirection”

While Miscavige’s wordings in the above noted quote were designed to mislead the reader (“Misdirection”), together they paint a very false picture of the controls of the GO. So much so that IMHO David Miscavige committed Perjury in his above statement.

Comments from anyone who wants to give them on this thread will be welcome. I welcome both agreement and disagreement and suggest that those concerned vote for “Perjury”, “Just a Lie” or “Simply Misdirection” as they see fit.

Eventually I plan to post on my blog the top actual examples of David Miscavige’s greatest perjury, lies and misdirecting statements to deflect attention away from organized scientology’s misdeeds as voted on by the general public. It should be interesting.

If any others reading this thread may want to add in their own examples of the truth which may be even more relevant than my own, please feel free to do so.

The entire list of these postings as well as other series’ of postings I plan to make through this next year will be found on my blogspot: http://larrybren.blogspot.com/

Did David Miscavige commit perjury using lies and misdirection? From the above and from my own experience as a former longtime member of scientology, I say it's more than lies and misdirection. I say it's perjury.

The "Bail Out", The Scientology Entities and The Slatkin Ponzi Scheme 7 years Later.

The party's over. Consumers are way in over their head in debt and the financial markets are overstretched for having stretched the lending rules. When the cards begin to fall, confidence games are exposed. Multi-million dollar Ponzi Scheme prosecutions are up because wherever there is greed, there's the potential for fraud.

The history of the one of the world's largest ponzi schemes of 7 years prior, the Reed Slatkin Investment Club, included a lax SEC and hundreds of greedy investors with an abundance of money to invest. Many of the investors who benefitted from the scam included members of the Church of Scientology and the Church of Scientology itself. In then the end, those funds received in excess of contribution to the 'club'were deemed avoidable and recoverable as fraudulent transfers. This resulted in millions and millions of dollars in recoverable judgements against or settlement agreements with the Scientology entities and it's involved members and staff. It's not surprising to see the cult of greed, as Time Magazine called Scientology, involved in the receipt fraudulent transfers.What is surprising is how Scientology managed to keep this information from hittin g the front pages of the media in 2006.

Recent news is rife with Ponzi cases and convictions, where some investors made out like bandits while the rest lost every cent they invested. Among them is the the Tom Petters 3 billion dollar investment scam; the SEC vs. Hu case where the SEC just charged former Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu with "operating a $60-million Ponzi scheme in a civil lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles." . In another, a Fargo, ND insurance agent has been charged with 78 felony counts, for stealing over $5 million in client funds, engaging in fraudulent practices and selling unregistered securities. These are just a few of the multiple ponzi schemes that have emerged as we grapple with a collapsing economy build with to much greed and encompassed with weak regulations that invite fraud and deception.

7 years ago Business Week asked "The Reed Slatkin Case: Did the SEC Drop the Ball?" and here we are again today, asking the same question about a what appears to be a ponzi scheme of worldwide proportions.

When will America learn to protect itself and it's comsumers from such destructive scams? Sadly, greed seems to get in the way of logic time after time and history repeqts itself. There is a technology of sorts to understanding the mechanics of how one becomes a victim of fraud and how to avoid it ( for starters try Fraud Tech expert and author Dennis Marlock's site); Detecting deceptive trade practices is not as complicated as one would think. This applies to institutions as well as to individuals. Perhaps there are still more lessons to be learned from how the Reed Slatkin ponzi scheme case is being resolved in US Bankrupcy Court by one of the most skilled forensic accountants and persistent court appointed bankrupcy trustees in the US today, R. Todd Neilson.

On April 30th,2000 many hundreds of dismayed investors with a combined total of nearly $600,000,000 of invested funds were gathered together and informed that their "money manager", Earthlink co-founder and Scientology minister Reed Slatkin, was filing for bankrupcy. You would have thought that investors would have checked up on whether Slatkin even held a broker or advisor license but apparently none had or cared until it was too late. The shock had not yet set in when on May 11, 2001 the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service agencies raided Slatkin's home office in Santa Barbara, CA to locate assets and documentation that would become the subject of multiple subpoenas of people and organizations including the noninvesting Church of Scientology.

Slatkin was charged with, among other things, running a ponzi scheme: collecting monies from new investors to pay the "earnings" and prinicple owed to earlier investors. You see, most of the investors who gained high profits from the ponzi scheme just happened to be * scientologists or employees of the church of Scientology.

So, what has Scientology itself have to do with this and the recent "bail out" of financial institutions? Well many have likened the "bail out" to a pouring of money into an already out of control ponzi scheme and the Slatkin ponzi scheme was evidence of a church and it's members consistently benefitting financially at the expense of those who lost all they'd invested. Keep in mind that Scientology is the only religious organization in the United States whose members are allowed by the IRS to deduct as charitable contributions for all religious instruction fees and material costs, in violation of the first amendment. Despite that favored position, the
'chickens had finally come home to roost' on this Slatkin matter as bankrupcy trustee R. Todd Neilson persisted over the last 7 years in making sure the church, it's involved members along with a minority of nonscientologists who gained in this ponzi scheme are held responsible for repaying avoidable and recoverable fraudulent transfers of funds received directly or indirectly from Slatkin pursuant to US and CA state civil codes.

This was not an easy task by any means. Trustee Neilson had to deal with many of the ponzi scheme 'winners' who did not want to repay the favorited illegal gains received, despite the threat of adversarial rulings that would have raised the rate of interest due and had potential to refer cases for criminal charges. The court is still in hearings related to recovery of funds that will be split according to preset percentages amongst those who lost their investments or benefit because of the ponzi scheme.

Since the inception of this case and those related to it, much money has been recovered and there are multi-million dollar judgements on record and being pursued. But more than money was at stake here. To my knowledge, at least 2 relatively young defendent / scientologists died within weeks of each other while enduring the lengthy court process: businessman Ivan(Ike)KEZSBOM and attorney Michael KANANACK. Another scientologist, Arthur D Gordin aka Arlo Gordin, DC turned in his license and fled the country with his gains - over $4 million worth - refusing to pay back anything at all to the bankrupcy estate. And yet another, Anthony Hitchman and wife, are in the process of being busted for using other people to funnel undeclared income to and for himself.

Many of the investors were audited by the IRS because of discrepancies found or in bankrupcy cases filed by the investors themselves. Scientologist and former Grateful Dead manager Ron Rakow is currently in prison on tax fraud charges which resulted indirectly from the Slatkin case. Anthony Hitchman may well wind up in prison because the trustee has witnesses and evidence that he was funneling unreported income via friends and relatives while under bankrupcy to avoid paying on his Slatkin case judgements. All of these these people are Scientologists, Hitchman being one of the most influential and earliest devotees of founder L Ron Hubbard's cult.

On September 25, 2006, the Church of Scientology entities, including it's front groups Narconon, Criminon, Celebrity Center, CCHR as shown below, agreed to pay back $3,500,000 after the church refused to allow the trustee access to theit'd financial records to effect a better settlement. The church was not cooperating in supplying financial records and documents and Trustee Neilson knew a hyperlitigious company when he saw one and he negotiated what he could use to settle the case rather than tying the case up in court. Neilson has faired alot better than the many who have challanged this controversial organization in a court setting. The former FBI forensic accountant is ever pesistent and discontented investors can be assured that Neilson will do all he can to recover the fraudulent transfers. Take a look at the links provided below for the individual PDF files and further information and documentation.

Lermanet.com 's Index of Fraud Slatkin-related files include names of Scientologists such as Arthur Hubbard ( son of Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard)former Grateful Dead manager and Jerry Garcia business partner Rakow, Anthony "Tony" Hitchman, former chiropractor to the stars, Arthur D "Arlo" Gordin (who fled the country rather than pay back his illicit gains), Rakows girlfriend, Denise Del Bianco, CoS = Church of Scientology, Joseph Mancuso and Christopher Mancuso of World Wide Telecommunications Corporation and Clear World Communications Corp, author James Monroe Justice who is still fighting having to repay his gains, along with attorneys John Coale & wife Greta Van Sustern (who quietly repaid their illegally gotten gains despite claiming they would fight it ), Michael & Anne Kananack, Rosser Cole et al, Joel Kreiner and wife Stina Hans, and Scientology attorney Helena K Kobrin, George W Murgatroyd III and spouse, James Q Fisher & spouse, who settled or were judged guilty and ordered to repay. These scientologists are among the many other scientologists considered themselves among the most ethical people on the earth because Scientology taught them they are entitled to anything they can get away with, as long as they don't get caught and it's Fair Game to anyone who opposes them.

The real victims of Slatkin's fraud where those who believed in his ministerial collar, his use of Scientology 'communication routines' and skill as a trained "counselor" ( which really is about using mild but consistent amounts of hypnosis to gain cooperation of the counselee ) and his association with Earthlink and the power that association implied. he was a con man and some of the players in his ponzi scheme were con men as well. Scientologist Ron Rakow, in particular, had a history of ripping people off, including Jerry Garcia, and yet Garcia never wiped his hands of him. It take a good deceptor to make something like that happen, and happen over and over again. Scientology gave Slatkin the means and methods of conning others and the connections to get away with it. In his ear was Ron Rakow, encouraging him to go for more and bringing more victims into the fold. Both are in prison. Will they be better people when they get out? That remains to be seen.

In the meantime, consumers need to get a grip on greed and stop allowing themselves to be conned by weakly regulated con men and institutions. Learn how fraud & deception works and consider what you have learned as you watch this worldwide recession unfold, wherever the cards may fall.

HUMBLE EX MEMBER OF SCIENTOLOGY DESCRIBES HIS LIFE IN THE CULT

I was really touched by this short but powerful interview of neil, a former victim of the cult of Scientology:

EX MEMBER NEIL, TALKS ABOUT THE HORRORS WHEN HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE CULT IN MANCHESTER, ST HILL AND LOS ANGELOS. by Tony & Sue aka getbeckyout

PART ONE: Neil C Interview MANCHESTER, England


PART TWO: Neil C Interview MANCHESTER, England


It brought tears to my eyes. neil truly conveyed the problems & fear so many of us experienced before we left, when we left and after we left as we came upon the truth about Scientology.

I'm doing my part to get this around the internet so scientologists and
nonscientologists alike can see it. Pass it along. Thanks

Kudos to getbeckyout aka Tony & Sue, the parents trying to get their daughter Becky out of Scientology

Scientology is 'Clearing the Planet', One Unborn Child at a Time.

Did you know that the Church of Scientology is Anti-Family and orders their elite members to abort pregnancies or risk being made to leave the group they are dedicated a billion years of their lives to? Well, here is the video where the church spokesperson admits that Scientology does indeed force certain members to have abortions. Why? Well, they are in the business of 'clearing the planet'. In this case, one unborn child at a time.

Richard & Judy item on Scientology
Channel 4, Oct 11 2005 [British television]

This video details life inside Scientology 's elite corp called the Sea Organization including it's policy of compulsory abortions for female members of that elite corp.

Former Scientologist Astra Woodcraft is interviewed by Richard & Judy, along with a spokeswoman for the Church of Scientology in the UK, Janet Kenyon-Laveau. Woodcraft left the organization so she would not have to abort her child.

Kenyon-Laveau is forced to admit to this, that Scientology's Sea Organization is anti-family and pro-enforced abortion.



This is a priceless interview. Kudos to Astra Woodcraft and the 'Richard and Judy' show for tackling this so effectively.

Church of Scientology and Los Angeles Police Dept caught violating civil rights laws.

Working in concert together, the Church of Scientology and Los Angeles Police Dept were caught once again violating civil rights of citizens. Makes one wonder if there is some kind of public corruption going on. Where is the FBI when you need them?


Here is the rest of his usenet article, which is worth repeating:

"The Church of Scientology gala event to celebrate the 39th anniversary of the Celebrity Center was an epic flunk and fail for the worlds’ most dangerous cult and totalitarian terror enterprise. It was also an epic win for Anonymous." wrote Graham E. Berry, attorney and advocate.

Cult leader David Miscavige was once “In Charge” of “Project All Clear,” a 1980s Scientology mission to eliminate all litigation and government investigations of Scientology so that L. Ron Hubbard could emerge from his hiding places and life on the lam. Twenty two years after the leading role of David Miscavige in the highly suspicious death of L. Ron Hubbard, Miscavige now needs his own Project All Clear. Anonymous is not going to let him have it. Anonymous does not forgive. It does not forget. It is epic. It will bring the Hubbard killers to great justice!

Before he died, Robert Vaughn Young gave me a copy of the first chapter of his never to be completed book “Who killed L. Ron Hubbard?” You can guess at the answer. http://tinyurl.com/647s4l

As I approached the Celebrity Center from Bronson Avenue/Hollywood Boulevard, a handicapped person (Mr. X) and I were excluded from progressing any further by the L.A.P.D. acting upon the instructions of Scientology Rev. Lyn Farny.


He is the corporate secretary of the Church of Scientology International. Rev Lyn Farny is also in charge of the OSA Internet operations and projects (including their “black ops” and Religious Freedom Watch). It was Lyn Farny who was conceived the Eugene Ingram February 1994 trip to New York to blackmail and bribe Robert Cipriano into signing the perjured Cipriano declaration, which Cipriano recanted after (Scientology lawyers and staffer ) Kendrick Moxon, Samuel D. Rosen, Gerald Chaleff, Gerald Feffer, Barbara Reeves and others had used it to engage in multiple frauds upon multiple courts and the State Bar in order to “utterly destroy” me. Had they not done that I would be doing other professional things at this time. However, Farny, Ingram and Moxon “pulled it in” for Scientology and here I am, as the direct result of what they did.

Now, 14 years later, Farny was personally directing that my civil rights continue to be violated by refusing to allow me to peacefully walk up the east sidewalk of Bronson Avenue to Franklin Avenue. As I approached, Farny spoke with an L.A.P.D. officer who moved to intercept me on the sidewalk. (see photos, below)



The time was 7.05 PM on August 9, 2008 and Officer 17038 blocked me from walking any further up Bronson Avenue. “You can’t walk up here dressed like that” the officer said to me.” I was stunned. “What do you mean I can’t walk up here dressed as I am?” The officer said, “You cannot walk up this street wearing that T shirt with those words on it and carrying that picket sign.” By now I was dumbfounded. Had the L.A.P.D. learned nothing from its encounters with the federal judges during the 2000 Democrat Party convention in Los Angeles?

In addition, words on a T shirt can be constitutionally protected speech. My T shirt read “Scientology Kills!”



Meanwhile, the peace officer allowed another man to access the sidewalk. “Officer,” I said. “Why are you letting that man walk on the side walk but not me?” The officer eplied, “Because I have already taken his ID and he lives in the neighborhood.”

I said, “Officer, you didn’t even ask me for my ID.”

As I began to walk away I noted the badge numbers of several of the other LAPD officers who were manning the barricades with Scientology’s Internet black-ops meister Rev. Lyn Farny. I deposed him once. The officers included #15034 and #8796. I was asked if I wanted to see the street closure permit. “Yes please.”

“You can see the Los Angeles City Councils own applicable codes, conditions, permit forms and procedures online at http://bsspermits.lascity.org/spevents/ ( removed by LAPD)

For example, the form PETITION (for commercial areas) REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY STREET CLOSURE PERMIT expressly provides that “[t]he closure, when granted, will be for the exclusion of vehicles only. Admission to an event may not be charged; and the public at large may not be denied access to any portion of any street except in cases of emergency. A 20-foot emergency lane shall be provided on all streets within the said closure at all times.” Emphasis added.



“Clearly, the Scientology enterprise, including Kendrick L. Moxon, Esq., and Ed Parkin, are working with the Los Angeles Police Department (and perhaps officials within the Los Angeles City Council Bureau of Street Services) to blatantly violate both federal law and the City of Los Angeles own municipal codes and permits. These violations have been occurring on at least two days of every week for about 24 consecutive weeks.”


You can read the language yourself: http://bsspermits.lacity.org/spevents/ ( removed by LAPD ) or http://tinyurl.com/22otpg . At the bottom of the page click on each of the three types of petition forms that the Church of Scientology signed and that is incorporated by law into the final permit. ( all removed by City of Los Angeles)

One of the L.A.P.D. officers who denied me access to all portions of Bronson Avenue for a number of blocks showed me a copy of the permit.

It was number 20081447. You can click on it here: or http://tinyurl.com/65a9tb
or
http://bsspermits.lacity.org/spevents/public/menu_public.cfm?ref_no=20081447
On the left side of the page click on each of the three pages of the permit.


I took a look at the permit and said, “Officer, the permit may say total or full closure but the permit is issued subject to the provisions of the Municipal Code and they are set forth on the permit application form itself. A total or full closure only applies to vehicle traffic. The law states that the public at large … may not be denied access to any portion of any street except in cases of emergency. Just because Farny and Scientology says the words full closure on a piece of paper mean you can exclude whoever you wish, it still doesn’t mean that the L.A.P.D. can just ignore the law and engage in civil rights violations.” [Also see Section 5733.11, Obstruction of Exits and Aisles]. The peace officer responded politely, “We only do what we are told by them (meaning Scientology security) and the permit says they can do it.” I walked off saying, “But the permit does not permit you to violate the law by excluding me from walking up Bronson Street.” And this officer was acting under color of law.

After six months of these civil rights violations the Los Angeles City Council should be reserving millions of dollars for potential legal defense and damages costs arising from the conduct of the L.A.P.D. and the Department of Building Services! However, what can you expect when Gerald Chaleff is the L.A.P.D. attorney? He was formerly one of the Church of Scientology’s leading and highest paid defense attorneys. Now he is in charge of R.I.C.O. compliance, or criminal racketeering avoidance, under a judicial consent decree entered into between the Los Angeles Police Department and the United States Department of Justice. The fox is in charge of the chickens!



By the way, I will soon commence local and state political action to stop these street closure illegalities and civil rights violations. Perhaps it is time to also seek a recall election to oust scientology shill Eric Garcetti? At the same time we might also consider petitioning for L. Ron Hubbard Way to return to its former name of Berendo Street. The name change to L. Ron Hubbard Way was the result of public corruption. Interestingly, the Department of Justice recently disbanded its public corruption unit in Los Angeles.

As a result of the Scientology enterprise and the L.A.P.D. excluding the handicapped Mr. X and me from any access to any portion of Bronson Avenue between Carlos Avenue and Franklin Avenue, we had to walk nearly a mile around and across the Hollywood Freeway in order to reach our desired destination of the Mayfair Market corner at Franklin and Bronson.

As we were walking along the deserted back streets we came across a parking lot. As you will see from the album cover picture (URL below), there was an L.A.P.D. mobile command vehicle and six other vehicles. Most cars had two officers already sitting in the car and they were ready to swoop on the 32 protestors peacefully exercising their first amendment rights, against an organization deemed a global terrorist group and racketeering enterprise by most of the European and other western nations. Later we would observe at lease two dozen Los Angeles Police Department Officers, over a dozen other L.A.P.D. patrol cars and motor cycles, an L.A. Fire Department truck and several dozen private investigators, some with their own vehicles and many with cameras.

There were also photographers (and sharp shooters?)positioned on the roof tops and terraces of the Scientology Celebrity Center. All this because of 32 young partying picketers. No wonder the New York City Police and Washington, DC police love policing the Anonymous pickets.

“Even though the crazy scientologists are calling us out very five seconds for nothing, dealing with Anonymous is fun. Much more fun than dealing with other protestors, like the World Trade Organization and anti-war protests.”

However, despite the overwhelming police presence to cope with 32 young protestors, a handful of jaded scientology celebrities and a few hundred scientology deep pockets, a white van illegally parked on a corner and beside a fire hydrant could not be moved.

Why? It obscured the view of Anonymous picketers as the few hundred scientology event patrons turned their vehicles and limos right from Franklin Avenue. I was present when a number of unsuccessful telephone complaints were made over five hours. Even the dispatch officers were amazed that parking enforcement had not arrived to tow away the violating vehicle.

Finally one dispatcher suggested that the callers file an official complaint on Monday morning. Mr. X spoke to an officer about it several times. “We’ve tried to get it moved,” he responded. Mr. X was not placated. “With all these dozens of police officers, police cars and police motor cycles here that old party van would be towed within five minutes if you wanted it gone.” Clearly, Scientology public corruption was at work.


I am increasingly convinced that there is a supernatural law of karma and light, and that what goes around comes around. I saw that again last night, not only with Lyn Farny reviving a statute of limitations, but also with the fecal matter that was spewing off the Celebrity Center stage and into the Los Angeles sewers. Indeed, one of the Scientology event speakers sounded a lot like David Miscavige. After his tirade against the suppressives, the street sewers really blocked and backed up, a fleet of L.A. City Sewer Department pumping trucks quickly arrived, and Operation BS Cleanup was under way.


While the sewerage cleanup was going on the keynote speaker was heard and seen addressing the several hundred scientology supporters. They would shortly be pressured to pay over even more money to “shatter suppression” through the funding of even more civil rights and R.I.C.O. violations by the Scientology enterprise and OSA. The keynote speaker was the Attorney-General for the State of Utah!

There cannot have been more than 3-500 scientologists at this event. Few of them appeared to be real celebrities. The Celebrity Center grounds were expensively and lavishly decorated with props, bunting, stages and sound equipment (which broadcast in blatant breach of Articles Five and Six of the Municipal Code (amplified sound and general noise). Even at $600 a plate the event must have been a huge financial, public relations and morale flunk. The scientology publications unit will have to use Photoshop again!

I did enjoy meeting our Anonymous brothers and sisters from San Diego and elsewhere and I really look forward to picketing with them in San Diego before the end of summer. Let’s make August 16 and 17 another epic global picket. The Scientology enterprise is crumbling. Now it is on to really expose W.I.S.E. and its members, Narconon, Criminon, Applied Scholastics and all of the other scientology false front groups.




Despite multiple calls over four hours LAPD and the LA City Council refuse to move the van.

Who says Narconon isn't Scientology? Narconon Psych Waiver

Who says Narconon isn't Scientology? Just read the Narconon "illegal PC" Waiver:



The person who was made to sign this had been in detox for a week and does not even recall signing it. It was faxed over by VISA to the mother in her dispute to get her money back from being ripped off.

The reason the person was made to sign it was that he/she had at one time been prescribed Lexipro, having taken 4 pills over a 4 day period. Period.

To Scientology and Narconon, it's ok to discriminate against anyone having taken any amount of 'psych' medication.

Why isn't Narconon Being Investigated by the State of Georgia?

Patrick W Desmond died while under the care of Narconon of Georgia died while under the "care" of narconon of georgia. A candlelight vigil for him was held in July.

Candlelight Vigil for ex narconon patient

It probably would not have happened if the State of Georgia DHR Regulatory Agency had been doing it's job, but it wasn't. There were previous violations that appeat to have been shoved under the rug. How did Narconon get away with these violations from the State of Georgia and remain in operation?

Here is what is on record for Sept 2006 and April 2007. Notice the lack of explanation between the first report and the second.

Inspection Results
N 0000 Initial Comments

At the time of the follow-up to the relocation and licensure survey completed May 16, 2006, it was determined that Narconon of Georgia Outpatient Program remains out of compliance with Chapter 290-4-2, Rules and Regulations for Drug Abuse Treatment and Education Programs. Previously cited deficiencies remaining out of compliance were N311, N901, N1003, N1400, N14002, N1405, N1503 and N1504. The following new deficiencies cited were N911, N1008, N1303, N1403 and N1408. N 0311 290-4-2-.03(l) Definitions

In these rules, unless the context otherwise requires, the words and phrases set forth herein shall mean the following: ...

(l) "Outpatient Drug Treatment Program" means a non-residential program staff by professional and paraprofessional persons that provides drug treatment or therapeutic services, primarily counseling and other supportive services for drug dependent persons, and is not classified as an ambulatory detoxification program or
Specialized Day Treatment Program.

This Requirement is not met as evidenced by:

Based on program description, client records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility does not meet the definition of an outpatient drug treatment program due to the provision of detoxification services to clients, nor does the facility meet requirements for licensure as a program that includes detoxification due to the facility practice of employing exercise, sauna,
vitamins, minerals and other supplements exceeding the Institute of Medicine recommendations, potentially placing clients' health at risk. Findings were:
The facility submitted an updated application, dated September 13, 2006 for a new license. The program modality request on the application was for outpatient treatment services.

A review of the facility's program description reflected that the facility did not engage in any type of medical detoxification, but further identified that the objective of the program was to assist the client in post-acute withdrawal and rid the body of drug residuals and toxins. The program regimen, in the program description, includes a physical process of withdrawal from toxins and drugs though exercise, sauna, and nutritional supplements. The program description did not specify the amounts of vitamins, minerals, oils, and other supplements, and the extent of the exercise and sauna that were routinely implemented as a part of the purification phase of the detox treatment.

The program used L. Ron Hubbard's "Clear mind-Clear Body" as the protocol for Step 2 of the program, the purification phase. Review of step 2: The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program" directed the program clients though a physical regimen to include: running or walking to increase circulation, monitoring the client's vital signs, using various amounts of liquids, nutrition (in the form of vitamins and supplements) and the sauna to rid the client's body of drug residuals and toxins.
Even though the facility no longer has the sauna located at the facility it continues to prescribe the amount of time the client should stay in the sauna, exercise, and the amount of vitamins, minerals, oils, and other supplements.

Twelve of 12 sampled client records (client #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #8, #12, #13, #14, #15, and #16) reviewed on 9/12/2006 and 9/13/2006, had no documentary evidence of a physician's order dictating the amount and frequency of chemicals and other supplements prescribed for each client in the purification phase. All 12 sampled records lacked documentary evidence of continued medical oversight to include assessments or laboratory test if required, depending on the clients' changing needs. The client records also revealed that the client files lacked daily
vital signs and exercise times.

The client records also confirmed that the client still discusses the information filled out on the "daily report form" with the facility. The record also revealed that the facility still prescribed vitamins, minerals, oils, and other supplements which far exceeds the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA).

Review of client admission requirements still indicates that as part of the admission agreement, the clients sign waivers that agree to hold the Narconon program and its affiliates harmless from any and all liability which may arise out of or related to any action of failure to act during the program outlined in the program description. Furthermore, the clients agree to knowingly accept
the risk for any physical, mental, emotional or spiritual damages of any kind that results from participation in the sauna/exercise program and the program's related vitamin and supplement regime that exceed the Institute of Medicine's Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA).

It was determined that the practices of the facility exceed the services allowed in an outpatient drug treatment program, the detoxification program failed to meet accepted standards, and the program description and application failed to accurately designate the ASAM level at which services are provided.
This rule was previously cited on May 16, 2006.

N 0901 290-4-2.09(2) Administration
Program Description. A licensed program shall develop and implement written policies and procedures that describe the range of treatment and services provided by the program and must specify which American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) levels of care will be offered. Such policies and procedures shall describe how identified treatment and services will be provided and how such treatment and services will be assessed and evaluated. A program description must show what services are provided directly by the program and what treatment and services are provided in cooperation with available community or contract resources. The program description shall be reviewed at least annually and updated when treatment or services change.

This Requirement is not met as evidenced by:
Based on a review of the program description, and the program policies and procedures, it was determined the program description did not sufficiently describe the range of treatment and services provided for all clients. The findings were:
The program description specified Narconon of Georgia functioned at an (The American Society of Addiction Medicine) ASAM I level. this level is a outpatient treatment program that does not include a detoxification program. The submitted program description including provided policies and procedures, did not specify the amount of excessive vitamins, minerals, oils, other supplements, and the extent of exercise and sauna time that were routinely implemented as a part of the purification phase of the treatment. The program used L. Ron Hubbard's "Clear Mind-Clear Body" as the protocol for Step 2 of the program, the purification phase.

The facility as of 7/15/2006 no longer does this phase at the facility location, but still does not have the policies and procedures describing the training, qualification and responsibilities of the
staff supervising the purification phase, and how the process would be assessed and evaluated. This rule violation was previously cited on May 16, 2006.

N 0911 290-4-2-.09(7) Administration
A program shall maintain written records for each employee and the administrator. Each individual file shall include:
1. Identifying information such as name, address, telephone number, emergency contact person(s);
2. A ten year employment history or a complete employment history if the person has not worked ten years and at least two reference checks prior to employment;
3. Records of applicable licenses, health requirements, and educational qualifications as required by these rules;
4. Date of employment;
5. The person's job description or statements of the person's duties and responsibilities;
6. Documentation of training and orientation required by these rules;
7. Any records relevant to the employee's performance including at least annual performance evaluations; and
8. For programs serving children, the results of criminal record checks obtained from a law enforcement agency.
This Requirement is not met as evidenced by:
Based on staff interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to maintain accurate personnel records on the only medical doctor on the staff roster (employee #14).

Findings were:
A list of staff requested from the administrator included one medical doctor. The Narconon of Georgia Organization Chart also referred to the same medical doctor.
No staff record was provided after repeated request for the medical doctor's file from the administrator.
The administrator provided the program's staff schedule and the staff roster that gave a brief synopsis of each staff member. The medical doctor was not on the staff schedule or staff roster from May 2006 through September 2006, even though the same medical doctor is listed on the March 6, 2006 application.

On 9/12/2006 at 2:30 p.m. the administrator was informed of this finding and did not produce any further documentation for the only medical doctor on staff.
N 1003 290-4-2-.10(4) Staffing The medical responsibility for each client will be vested in a licensed physician who oversees all medical services provided by the program. Physician assistants or nurse practioners may be utilized to the extent allowed by state practice acts.
This Requirement is not met as evidenced by:

Based on records review and client and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide a licensed physician to ensure medical oversight for all client services provided by the program resulting in potential harm for all clients. Findings were:

On day one of the survey, the administrator confirmed at 10:41 a.m. that the sauna was removed from the program, however, client interviews revealed that the facility continued to use L. Ron Hubbard's "Clear Mind-Clear Body" as the protocol for Step 2 of the program purification phase. Review of step 2: The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program" directed the program clients though a physical regimen to include: running or walking to increase circulation, monitoring the client's vital signs, using various amounts of liquids, nutrition (in the form of vitamins and
supplements) and the sauna to rid the client's body of drug residuals and toxins.
Six of six (#8, #16, #17, #18, #19, and #20) client interviews conducted 9/12/2006 and 9/13/2006 reported completing step 2 (sauna):

-#8 admitted 8/1/2006 used the sauna at a person's house;
-#16 admitted 5/28/2006 used the sauna at Narconon;
-#17 readmitted to the program 6/2/2006 used the sauna at a doctor's office;
-#18 admitted 1/23/2006 used the sauna at a doctor's office;
-#19 admitted 7/14/2006 used the sauna at a person's house;
-#20 admitted 5/28/2006 at Narconon; # 20 revealed that they removed the sauna about 2 months
ago (July 2006) and the clients were directed to use the sauna at Ballys, L.A. Fitness, The Church of Scientology, staff members apartment complex and then a person's house. Twelve of twelve sampled client records (#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #8, #12, #13, #14, #15, and #16) reviewed on 9/12/2006 and 9/13/2006, had no documentary evidence of continued medical oversight to include assessments or laboratory test if required, depending on the clients'changing needs because of the modality of treatment used in the purification phase.

Even though the facility no longer has the sauna on the premises, the program continues to prescribe the amount of time the client should stay in the sauna, exercise, and the amount of vitamins, minerals, oils, and other supplements.
The client records also confirmed that clients still discuss the information filled out on the "daily report form" with the facility. The records also revealed that the facility staff was still prescribing vitamins, minerals, oils, and other supplements which far exceeds the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) with potential risk to the clients.

Review of client admission requirements still indicates that as part of the admission agreement, the clients sign a waiver that agreed to hold the Narconon program and its affiliates harmless from any and all liability which may arise out of or related to any action of failure to act during the program outlined in the program description. Furthermore, the clients agree to knowingly accept the risk for any physical, mental, emotional or spiritual damages of any kind that results from
participation in the sauna/exercise program and the program's related vitamin and supplement regime that exceed the Institute of Medicine's Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA)

When queried on September 13, 2006 at 2:00 p.m., the clinical director of the program confirmed that the documentation was not adequate. When asked for further information, the clinical director did not add any additional information.
This rule violation was previously cited on May 16, 2006.

N 1008 290-4-2-.10(7)(b) Staffing
Additional training consisting of a minimum of thirty (30) clock hours of training or instruction shall be provided annually for each staff member who provides treatment services to clients. Such training shall be in subjects that relate to the employee's assigned duties and responsibilities.

This Requirement is not met as evidenced by:
Based on a review of employee records and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide 30 hours of training for five of eight sampled employees who worked at the facility for more than a year (employees #1, #3, #5, #11, and #12). The findings were:

Seven of eight personnel records did not have documentation of thirty hours minimum of any treatment related training.
Employee #1 had 18 hours of training.
Employee #3 had 1 hours of training.
Employee #5 had 10 hours of training.
Employee #11 had 4 hours of training.

Noelle North, Scientology & Subway Sandwiches

Over at RoanOC's YouTube Channel we find one of the top 10 damning videos documenting the truth about the Church of Scientology, it's prejudices and it's "celebrity" members to hit the internet this year. Roan writes:

Noelle North, Scientology & Subway Sandwiches

"Here is Noelle North implementing Scientology's "Jim Crow Law" brand of bigotry in Los Angeles. Noelle has tried to bar Anonymous with their little kids from coming into Subway Sandwiches for a bite to eat. "

I might add that Subway seems to be unwilling to face the ugliness of this matter. Subway refused to preserve their video tape of the incident. However, this videotape posted by RoanOC shows that the sign was indeed taped inside the store window, contrary to the official response.

Scientology and it's Dangerous Front Groups

Recent Scientology Related Deaths

There have been two known recent deaths of Scientology front group program participants. One was a Narconon 'student' the other was a Criminon 'student'. Both were on the Hubbard's drug rehabilitation steps when they died. Both were loved and lost their lives at the hands of scientology practices. Both were situations of preventable negligence. Both are being investigated.

THE DEATH OF PATRICK W. DESMOND



July 11 marked the one month anniversary of the negligent and avoidable death of a well loved guy named Patrick "Rico" Desmond who died while under the supervision of Narconon of Georgia while on their rehab program. A candle light vigil service was held and video taped in front of the Church of Scientology of Georgia to recognize this terrible loss:



We are awaiting the autopsy but you can read what is known about this situation here and you can find out more about Patrick at his memorial site here

'STUDENT' COMMITS SUICIDE DURING CRIMINON DRUG REHAB DETOX

CODY BATES hanged himself at the San Francisco SBDC New Life Center Criminon facility on August 27, 2008. He'd been admitted to the facility on August 24th and began detox the next day. During the first day of detox, he had been administered medication with known side effects that included suicidal ideation to help facilitate the detox. Cody's mother thought he was under medical care and asked SBDC New LIfe Staff to provide 24 hr suicide watch of Cody because of statements he made to staff indicating he might commit suicide. The staff promised to keep a watchful eye but did not follow through and Cody was found on the 27th to have committed suicide. Apparently there was no medical personnel at the facility either.

Here is legal complaint filed by the victim's mother. I hope she sues the hell out of them:


Cody's mother is suing for negligence and wrongful death among othere things, and rightfully so. Her lawyer has been informed of the fact that the facility is not licensed by CA ADP despite the Association for Better Living
and Education (ABLE) press release about this place ( one of 5 or so 'facilities' operated in Single Room Occupancy Hotels in the City of San Francisco.)

Over at the Suppressive Person Defense League I found a story about this scam from scientology's front group coordinator called ABLE:

"The center has also been granted their license as a drug and alcohol recovery center by the California State Department of Drug and Alcohol. It now operates at an average of 50 students on the program at a time, and the center is still expanding — now having control of over 200 beds throughout 4 hotels in the area." http://www.able.org/news/

Here is their current website: http://www.newlifecentersf.org
Director and scientologist Richard Prescott owns http://SOMANEWLIFECENTER.Org

This is CLEARLY a Scientology program, incorporating the NarCONon drug rehab with the Criminon ' LIfe Skills.

Not surprisingly, neither San Francisco New Life Center, SOCIAL BETTERMENT DEVELOPMENT COMPANY or SBDC New Life are licensed by the California Alcohol and Drug Program, despite promoting that they are via the Facility locator at the federal governemnt site SAMHSA

Global Locator - ABLE International
San Francisco New Life Center...E-mail: info@somanewlifecenter.org. Criminon
www.able.org/contact/global-locator/?groups=criminon

Global Locator - Criminon Groups Around the World
...San Francisco New Life Center..info@somanewlifecenter.org
www.criminon.org/contact/global-locator.php

Richard Prescott is the main culprit in running this large scale detox program without a license. He also reported falsely to the federal facility locator site that it was licensed by ADP. He's currently being sued along with SBDC and related parties. May Cody Bates rest in peace.

Operation Stop Fair Game : On May 10th, thousands of Anonymous and not so anonymous critics of scientology, like Ex-CIA Operative Boris Korczak and Jason Beghe joined in with the old guard and new former members of scientology to protest Scientology's Fair Game policy and tactics. Hugh success!

Give Me Back My Scientology Confessional Folders & Tapes!

Actor Jason Beghe wants his confessional and other scientology records, folders & tapes back. I want mine back, too. We are not alone in this desire. Why would Scientology want to keep records of us having told our most deepest and darkest thoughts of the past. to what was supposed to be a confidential counselor, when we don't belong to 'the church' anymore? As former members of the cult of Scientology, we are not unlike victims of the techniques described by Joost A. M. Meerloo in his excellent report called Rape Of The Mind




Beghe informed Operation Clambake Message Board aka Xenu.net that he wants all his folders back and that his request to the infamous Celebrity Center International was artfully ignored. So he wrote the Big Kahuna Cult leader David Miscavige and posted it.

You can read the letter here:
Letter to David Miscavige from Jason Beghe

Why would Beghe want thos records back? Why would I want mine back? Why would any former member want them back? Well, read the excellent Village Voice article by Tony Ortega
Former Scientologist Actor Wants His Confessional Files Back
'Jason Beghe accuses church of secretly taping Tom Cruise; writes a letter that Scientology won’t deliver' by Tony Ortega , April 29th, 2008 7:00 AM

There is no moral reason for the church to keep them, but keep them they do. I have been out for 12 years now but I invested 18 years of my life believing that L Ron Hubbard was teaching truth when it was all empty lies. The evolution of Scientology Celebrity Centers was planned by Hubbard many years before but thy needed a certain amount of credible & willing top celebrities to do all the media push. Tom Cruise came along and with others, Celebrity Centers rapidly grew. At one time, I was a member of the Celebrity Centers and treated like a celebrity because my husband was a "celebrity". Back in the 70's and 80's, the pressure was not on celebrities to push scientology but as the years went on and the membership of high end talent began to flow in, these newbies were sectioned off from the minor celebrities and had their sessions videotaped on a steady basis. I spent many of my years there during the days when they couldn't afford toilet paper, much less any video equiptment.

Although all scientologists were given the impression or told that the their secrets were confidential, many found out the hard way that scientology likes to keep the folders to use the contents as a tool to keeping the member from leaving or speaking up. So, the the evidence is overwhelming that confidentiality is just not true. For celebrities who have left the fold, like Nicole Kidman, the is a real fear that your private thoughts could wind up on the cover of The Enquirer or People Mag.

Celebrity artist former Scientologist OT VIII Michael Pattinson explains in explains how celebrities are treated and what happened to him after he left.

Thankfully, we have Jason Beghe broaching this important subject by asking for all the documentation of his life in Scientology to be returned to him. Will he get them? I woul;d hope so but he will have to go to court to force the issue. He should, however, know that there will be many others, including myself, who would join him in a class action law suit in order to get them back.

We were lied to. We were conned. It's a matter of dignity. Getting back as much of one's investment in the past as possible is what any victm want and we victims of Scientology are no exception.

Jason Beghe XenuTv Interview Highlights

This excellent 8 min video showing the highlights of the complete XenuTV interview of actor Jason Beghe by Mark Bunker was recently compiled by YouTube member svMilliways



What I like most about this is that it shows how much Jason Beghe knows about Scientology and how much he cares about those who are still members. Tom Cruise needs to listen to this.

Germany on ' What is Scientology ? '

Over at enturbulation.org, forum member 'The Society of Invisibles Watching You' posted that he's just seen this video on Youtube," about books being printed by the German government against Scientology." Here is the video on Youtube from user Anon214365:

What is Scientology?


Here is the digital version of this book in German
'Das system Scientology - Wie Scientology Functioniert 25 fragen mit antworten':

German version:
http://www.stmi.bayern.de/imperia/md...cientology.pdf

Translations of the above booklet are not available yet but here is the english translation of another report called "What is Scientology The Making of the Human Machine in the Cybernetic Learning Laboratory" written by Dr. Jürgen Keltsch, of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior Munich, in 04.08.1999 aktualisiert am 19.11.1999 . The report begins with :
1. The governmental evaluation of the Scientology organization in Germany

Like France and others, Germany considers Scientology a cult. It's good to see this organization's intentions, organizational structure, and activities scrutinized for the benefit of the public. I wish the USA would wake up and do the same.

Today Tonight's Anna Coren talks Jason Beghe & Scientology

Today Tonight did a terrific job expounding upon Mark Bunker's XenuTV's teaser interview of celebrity Jason Beghe on his exit from the folds of Scientology and why he left.

I am posting this show video here because of YouTube stupidly pulled XenuTV's account after the Beghe interview came out.

Today Tonight is 'an Australian tabloid current affairs program, produced by the Seven Network at Yahoo in competition with rival Nine Network program A Current Affair.'

I happen to think this show is more than tabloid. Of the three different editions of the program, the following video comes from the 'East Coast' edition presented by Anna Coren, who always does a professional job reporting the new. See for yourself:
