Re: BBC reporter losing it!

I cant see you very well through all the bong smoke there genius.

[RAQDES]

brilliant

[MadisonLee555]

I can't believe how crazy John Sweeny acted at John Travolta's movie premiere?! Seriously bizarre behaviour! Panorama hasn't hired him to do anymore news stories since his big blunder!

See Youtube: BlackPanorama

[RAQDES]

This video is the best.

[ContrastY]

To watch the COS spokesperson hop out of a vehicle and sashay over to the reporter and announce the interviewee had been arrested for solicitation DECADES AGO , illustrates how low the COS can go when they don't get their way.

^^^ BTW, I lurve yer accent. ^^^^

[RAQDES]

LISA,left to die,left to the cockroaches.

[ChrisKalhoun]

Why are people so afraid to let people follow there own path ? Does this reporter have a right to report freedom of speach, absolutley. Does he have a right to spread hatred and attacks on someones beliefs, I think not. We all have a responsibility to express our beliefs in a constructive manor, this was clearly not a constructive manor and therefore the reporter was completely out of line.

[ContrastY]

You didn't watch the video, did you?

The reporter was speaking to one of the COS' critics.

Every church, every religion, every organization has it's detractors. Why should it be different for the COS?

Who this reporter spoke with during his research is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

[beverins]

Sweeney needs to be given a knighthood for his rant. The scientologist in question hopefully had his eardrums busted by the decibels. That would have been rich.

[hello123456789101]

Yeh after that rant, they left him alone XD

[RAQDES]

Google search LISA MCPHERSON

[mongobobo]

Well, knowing that this would happen they should of used a more professional and stable reporter. XENUTV has better stories, 60 Minutes did some good work. But the Panorama piece was trashy and tabloid. Here's a hint: When ever the reporter starts the question with, "Some people say..." turn the channel. It's typical Fox News tabloid garabage reporting.

"Don't ever defend. Always attack." - L. Ron Hubbard on how to deal with critics...

Says it all, really. They are not a religion. They don't believe in freedom of speech. They are, in fact, a sinister, brainwashing cult.

[dew87]

Scientology is dangerous, and from what I've seen they have demonstrated everything about a cult and not a religion.

As for people posting these videos and voicing their opinions. Well I'm proud that you are expressing your freedom of speech, and not hiding your faces in fear of Scientology's persecution.

[electricpeppers]

So much word to this video.

[blackic3brighton]

@1stFulltruth

All that money on dianetic courses and you didnt even learn how to use a space bar...

i would ask for my money back if i were you

[RAQDES]

rock on

[OT8Babe]

Lovely jubbly! Sadly we can't suppress these wankers' influence over neer-do-wells in the street using the internet, but I'm hoping many will copy my idea for an "I'm with Xenu" t-shirt (arrow pointing sideways as with the classic "idiot" design). Since all Scientologists claim no knowledge of Xenu, they couldn't possibly sue for copyright infringement without enormous difficulty...

[InfamouzPupz]

anyone who believes in this scientology shite is entirely diluted and fucked in the head u fuckin nazi cult

[jurrk]

i think you may have missed something... did you read the post you're attacking or just the name of the poster?

[jademm]

(H T T P)petitions(dot)pm(dot)gov(dot­)uk(backslash)-Scientology

An e-petition to Tony Blair--submitted by James Higgs--is currently posted on the 10 Downing Street website. It is asking the British Prime Minister to prevent Scientology from becoming accepted as a religion in the UK. This is not a joke; it is an organized appeal that should be taken seriously. ONLY BRITISH CITIZENS OR RESIDENTS MAY SIGN THE PETITION. Pass on the link to all your British friends and family members.

[Ultrasecond]

Nice commentary! I also like how even here, you're getting scientology drones attacking you.

Further supporting your criticism against the cult; that they send their drones after even a tired-looking guy posting his off the cuff criticism of scientology to his video page is bloody hilarious. They really can't tolerate ANY criticism whatsoever.

[zutroy75]

John Sweeney is ace. Its like the movementarians on that episode of the simpsons :)

[pietershazam]

Brilliant man, I think the 'Big Man' from 'Chewin' the Fat' shold go and gae em some advice, they're a bunch of 'numpties'! In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland $ciento£ogy is recognised neither as a church nor a charity. It is, in fact a cult. $ciento£ogists do not like that word, so let me repeat it -- CULT.

[jurrk]

forget $300,000 I'll tell ya the trick to Scientology now for free.

it's hypno-therapy, and yes hypno-therapy can make you happy.

here's how: hypnotize someone then say "YOUR HAPPY"

prob is that scientology doesn't stop there they go on to stuff like telling you that Jesus was a gay, child rapist, with anger management issues. And anyone who's not part of Scientology is the enemy (including your family)

[jurrk]

And they wander why people have the gull to call them a cult? go figure

[pietershazam]

[griffgig]

this Hemiroy geezer, his name is of a Anal region and his comments are of the same nature, i bet he feels an arse..

[HemiRoy]

This is great, look at this guy. Taking a dump and recording a video at the same time. Brilliant! I want to be just like him!!

[blackic3brighton]

i thought that dianetics was supposed to make you more intellectual, i expected you scientologists to have something more constructive to say, rather than some childish comments, sure you pay enough to that church of yours for your "life skills" you would think you would get your moneys worth ;D

[HemiRoy]

You're a poopy head.

[blackic3brighton]

my point exactly

[Ultrasecond]

According to Arnie Lerma, former scientologist, scientology basically makes people into miniature L. Ron Hubbards. That is, infantile, paranoid, and sociopathic in the extreme. People who are in the cult have their personalities stagnated and basically are directed to act like little petulant schoolyard bully children. So you get adults acting like 8 bullying year olds.

[craiggybear]

I couldn't have said it better myself.

If scientology is so great why are they charging for it?

It's a money making scam.

[Kirwincom]

Well Said, I notice that the sweeny video posted obviously by a Scientologist, have prevented people posting text messages which are obviously off the message of propaganda they are promoting. Go to Panarama website and view whole show, to see how bad this cult is.

[VoranosShah]

Sheesh. Look at this state of this guy??? Like they say an opinion is like an asshole. Everyone's got one.

[blackic3brighton]

seems like all the negativity i'm getting is from people who have only regestered within the last month, i see the scientology slander army have got to work......

[Ultrasecond]

They call the character assassination they do "dead agenting." That is, if you don't like the criticism, attack the critic while ignoring their criticism. It's basically just ad hominem and strawman fallacy stuff with the usual red-herrings. Their goal is to harrass, intimidate, humiliate, etc. But people wary of their tactics like myself can just cite their insults as case examples of dead agenting in action to support our arguments.

[helaina3]

i am so glad that someone has responded to their propaganda. what a load of loonies.

[andsr002]

fuck scientology. they are a bunch of brainwashing tools. i'm on that BBC dude's side. if it was me I would've smashed a chair on that self righteous little scientology prick

[durashka123]

For more on John Sweeney, google "Sweeney repeated endlessly as she broke into tears".

[RedTerror]

Yes, do so ~ I don't see how anyone can take such trash seriously! HAIL LORD XENU! ANNIHILATE ALL THETANS!

[cultwatcher]

Hey Sweeney, go get an interview from the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization, and ask what they have to hide. Reed all about it on brahmakumaris dot info

[FreelanceAlex]

IF YOU WANT TO FULL STORY GO TO - bbcpanorama-exposed(dot)org and watch the video.

[whatsthelyrics]

For the sake of fairness I watched that Freebase and I have to tell ya, you tologists are real bad at damage control. The Sweeney outbust attempt backfired didn't it and this video with it heavy editing and snippet interviews - all the usual tricks of a propaganda piece - makes you show yourselves up even more. Thanks for the link. The more people see it the better. Now I'm going to get back to reading the aptly titled "Brainwashing Manual" by L.Ron

[blackic3brighton]

thats not the full story FreelanceAlex, thats the one sided propaganda from the Church of Scientology, and very crappy propaganda it is at that, you could learn a lot from the nazis!

[freespeach2all]

spot on i agree this CULT is a pathetic money making attmept, 75 million year old galactic warrior, FFS dont make me laugh.

I feel sorry for the morons that actually get duped by this BS, i think sweeney was within his right to head butt the retarded specimin after the constant harrasment he placed upon him.

[GunnXXL]

scientology=fascism!!!

[psychiatrist01]

I'd wouldn't be surprised if Tommy Davis had been sexually abused as a child. Most controlled children become obsessive controllers in adulthood and try to make sense of it by following esoteric practices. Notice the paranoia about perverts.

[rdouglas]

do you ever open your eyes? are you on drugs?

[blackic3brighton]

rdouglas- not at the moment, but i cant wait til friday night :D

[whatsthelyrics]

oool. Party at yours on friday night then blackic3 ;D

[blackic3brighton]

not if the Sea Org Get me first!

[whatsthelyrics]

They might make you sign their 1 billion year contract. That's a long time dude.

[Ultrasecond]

"Are you on drugs?" and "What are your crimes?" are two often-used scientology catchphrases which they shout at critics.

Funny, since their founder L. Ron Hubbard died with a whole lot of those 'evil psyciatric drugs' in his system, and was also a fugitive from U.S. indictment over his role in "Operation Snow White" at the time of his death to boot.

[madclowns]

dont forget calling people child molesters...

[look4alec]

spot on, that video is bullshit and definitely is just to intimidate reporters so they can try to get org. status in the uk

[bakatobutayarou]

Scientology should be prosecuted for the harrasment tactics they used on Sweeney and on many others.

thay all brain wash you

[Padraicgough]

The Scientologists are too afraid of free expression - John Sweeney was provoked, stalked and insulted by that Scientology PR bloke Tommy.

[sovsel]

I tried commenting on "BBC reporter looses it" but oddly all comments must be verified by video submitter.

I think that is how the cult works - no other points off view allowed, no thinking allowed. No freedom of expression. No contrary opinion.

lol at that site. Seems only cult members can make negative comments regarding sweeney .

Go Sweeney. I personally think you exercised a lot of self control.

PS If it behaves like a cult, it probably is a CULT

[drewsmilitia]

I've been trying to leave cryptic comments on that Johnalexwood SciTol propaganda vid. He finally accepted one.

"Initially I thought this guy was Complete Utter Looney Tunes"

CULT

lol

Gaun yersel blackic3, gie it tae thaim sair.

[wearwolf76]

Well said mate. I think Sweeney went easy on him myself, personally i would have started with a right hook

[jokingman]

have you noticed that the clips put up by the scientology cult dont post any comments that take the opposing view to theirs?

as above - watch the panorama episode in full and make your own mind up.

[GoaTseTung]

Cool accent. :)

[d2bwe1]

Tom Cruise??? NUTJOB! ha ha spot on!

[VenetianBaztard]

Spot on, those scientologists are really sinister. I've had some personal experience with them and they harrassed me with phone calls.

[darktiduss]

Hail Galactic overlord Xenu!

[blackic3brighton]

highlander3993:- i dont claim to speak for anyone other than myself, and who gives a shit waht i look like, i'm merely voicing my opinion, if you dont like it, then fair enough, last time i checked i lived in a democracy, you know i could delete your comment if i wanted to, but i wont, as thats exactly what the scientologists would do :D

have a nice day :D

[whatsthelyrics]

Good on you Blackic3. And too right, no need to start censoring stuff. Just because they won't let us in to their playground doesn't meen we shoudln't let them into ours. They seem to like playing in it. Our playground, where the right to free speech is respected.

[blackic3brighton]

i have the frame of mind that people are smart enough to make their own mind up so there should be no need to censor stuff.

I'm not here to force my beliefs on anyone, people should be free to say what they like.

[Modatlet]

I agree! they now got a pention going to make him resign. Like the other guy on the program, their trying to ruin Sweeney. I hate them

[highlander3993]

What drug is this guy on? He looks very out-of-it. And he just voices opinions, not anything I could believe because it was provable. Has he been brainwashed by that other one, John Sweeney? LOL! "OOOh, X is bad." Hungover punks, very authoritative sources. Not! Bwahaha! Does he speak for Scotland? For all Brits? In the real world, we tend to find out for ourselves and not smear people without getting our own facts worked out. How hard is that?

[mrspiffy1981]

He's clearly voicing his opinions based on the evidence he has seen, he's even listed his sources. Frankly this makes a lot more sense than your ridicule of him simply because you don't agree with what he's saying. Perhaps you could give us some scientology sources about scientology (not John Sweeney) to prove the contrary?

[eldwarfo]

Has anyone tried commenting on the video which spurred this response? Oddly, all comments must be verified by the video submitter!

Needless to say, there is not a single comment there which mentions how Sweeny was antagonised or spied on - just insults, and astonishment at the 'unprovoked' reaction.

Looks like someone is proving the point made in the documentary.

[blackic3brighton]

thats because the freaky scientologists posted that video

[eldwarfo]

Yeah, I gathered. Goddamned crazies.

They can deny anything they want, but the video makes some pretty clear indications about how they deal with ANY form of critisism. Tracking him to his interview subjects was beyond creepy.

[leazeslad]

good video there mate, you from scotland?

[waofy]

Well said!

[lordgark]

see on the: world wide web bbcpanorama(hyphen) exposed(org) for the full story on where this guy is at - the screaming bit is just the tip of the iceberg on this sleazeballs antics .....

[TheDave]

after reading that and freedommagdotorg i couldn't help but think "if you're daft enough to not realise this is the most poorly written smear campaign ever, what's the point in trying to save you from being sucked in". but i shall carry on mocking you regardless lolololololololol

[whatsthelyrics]

Cheers lordgark, I'll do that. Appreciate it. Seeing as we're being so cordial and offering stuff up to one another take a look at the Fishman Affidavit. Might save yourself some money.

[blackic3brighton]

they have been involved in too many dodgy deaths, they spied on the U.S government, and anyone who is critical of their so called "Religion" is subject to smear and abuse by their members,. A Nasty orginisation that has no place on this earth

[247Cannabis]

you're forgetting panorama is a byword for cheap journalism. I too know scientology is fraud but they haven't hurt me personally.

[ceilingcatiswatching]

I was at first interested in what they are about but they never actually say it. Just using nubskull celebs to drone on about how good it is without actually covering specific beliefs is just dodgy.

[ceilingcatiswatching]

$ciento£ogy = Self-help & motivational teachers (leachers) who call themselves a religion to dodge tax.

I think we (UK) should all write to our MPs & get this CULT out of our green & pleasant land. Atleast start an indepth investigation backed by law.
