ABC Lateline - Scientology Imprisonment on the Freewinds (2011-11-28)

[ginablackhawk]

It's very easy to believe in the Cult of Psychiatry, oops, sorry, the religion of psychiatry which is everywhere and considered safe. It's the one thing people are most brainwashed with when they take psychiatric drugs. LOOK at all the school shooters or crazy people who kill masses of people or into crowds--they're on psych drugs. Scientology may not be for you, but if you don't BELIEVE in psychiatry, it's the safest alternative or any other religion that hasn't been influenced by psych tech.

[RAFREEB]

Criminal, sad cult.

[sanityandpiece]

Strange - two of my mates joined Scientology last year and doing better in life now...

[willbond]

@sanityandpiece Sockpuppet

[sanityandpiece]

It seems like she is lying about "I couldn't leave the Sea Organization if I wanted to...". From what I know - it's voluntary.

[jjin08]

@sanityandpiece are you seriously suggesting she stayed on the ship for 12 years voluntarily...?

[PathMidnight]

@jjin08 something is up with her story though. I study the law (U.S. law). Regardless of any contract, no one is allowed to imprison a person for such a long time, and no one can have absolutely no conditions or terms that allow the contract to end (in australian or U.S. law, IMO). Although she is probably right about all the scientology evils, there is probably more facts to the story that show why she stayed there so long. Scientology is too powerful, and it is cultish. People should get out.

[jjin08]

@PathMidnight because something is against the law doesn't mean it didn't happen. you could be right tho, for all anyone knows there might be more facts to the story. i'd speculate that after so many years she'd have been at least part brainwashed and would've found the prospect of escaping quite daunting not really knowing how to support herself without the boat and the people on it

[willbond]

@sanityandpiece Hello Sockpuppet.

[utubekula]

$cientology is a criminal cult.

[bigpecker251]

Tom Cruise , and all the other scientology celebs are the best of why America is crumbling. Yezhov Miscavige is their Fuhrer, and they are his toadies. They follow a megalomaniac, standing in line to smell his ass . Ethan Suplee would slit his mothers throat for David Miscavige!!!!

[asianminxxx]

Romana could of washed her hair for tv

[asianminxxx]

Hate the Australian accent #sad

[Highbudget]

We're gonna sue your ASS!!!! and your BALL!!!!!

[doopeuebladeue]

how could anyone be THAT stupid to belive in all this scientologic bullshit?!

[WatchmenDrManhattan]

Ok how disagrees white this

[LucianHalo]

That's it.. I'm going to start a religion so I can buy all the crack I want.

[CMO5569]

I CANNOT wait for Radio Paul and AnnonSParrow to scream Valesca's name out at the next raid!!!!

[Bren329]

LONG LIVE XENU!!!!!!

[elarrebat]

I hope this is the case that finally brings down David Miscavige and exposes Scientology for what it really is: a dangerous religious racket

[bsrober2]

Re: The comments from Scientology on this video. It's not enough that they imprisoned her and kept her as a slave, now they have to slime her online? Shame on you. No one is fooled.

[BannedUfos]

@bsrober2 Judging by the 4 dislikes on this video, I'd suggest there are 4 Scientologists attacking the comments on this video

[bsrober2]

@BannedUfos Four accounts, rather. ;) I know responding to Scn shills is feeding trolls, I just can't help it.

[danrosskow]

to those who disagree watch zietgist



[danrosskow]

religion in all aspects is slavery...........

[dayzeedukes]

to all you ignorant people asking why did it take her so long to say something. scientology BRAINWASHES you. they mess with your mind they take you to the "clear" where they can control your every thought and move. RESEARCH IT morons!

[BannedUfos]

@dayzeedukes Clear means polluted, it's doublethink

[stardustanita2]

It's unfortunate how disgruntled individuals who made bad decisions come back with crazy stories...

"Valeska Guider served as a crew member aboard the Freewinds religious retreat as a volunteer, religious worker. She was an adult and there of her own free will as part of her religious commitment to the Church of Scientology. The Freewinds is a passenger vessel with hundreds of people aboard."

[sk8mike]

@stardustanita2

Good one OSA! Does that cult, I mean quote, have a source? Hypothetical question: Or are you just spouting $cientology approved propaganda?

Bug off creep!

[Waltham1892]

@stardustanita2

What are your crimes?

[elarrebat]

@Waltham1892 Judging for your remarks, I wonder: Are you a scientologist?

[Waltham1892]

@elarrebat

HELL, NO. I was being sarcastic to someone who I thought was by using a line on them that they frequently use on others.

I am the owner of a fully working brain. That makes me inelligable for membership in the COS.

[NarkAnon]

@stardustanita2

Ah yes, the typical Scientology ad hominem "attack the critic" strategy.

You use words like "disgruntled" and "crazy" and take refuge behind the same old 'church'-issued denials. Trouble is, there are too many personal accounts that have become public over the last few years that make Valeska's story totally believable.

You work for a corrupt, unethical organization, stardustanita2. The good news is that you can walk away any time you want. Don't be afraid.

[rockfanatic100]

Scientology posters should know trying to mudsling this lady won't help...it is getting clearer that scientology is an evil bloodthirsty cult that has to be dealt with

[lindsaymaria211]

All I can say is that these desperate individuals that seek to blame whomever they see are easy targets for their own profits make me sick!

Even her own husband denounces these allegations... "She met the man to whom she was married from 1998-2005 and who affirms that her claims of being held against her will are utterly false. "

[redboxes11]

It's so sad that the church has to continue to fight ridiculous stories like this. They have so many efforts at making society better and improving the quality of individuals, that it is unfortunate Scientology has to deviate from that to tackle such absurd allegations. A recent Meritorious Public Service Award from United States Homeland Security, awarded to the Freewinds by the United States Coast Guard, describes it as the “premier training platform throughout the Caribbean Basin.”

[scapelife]

@redboxes11 lol Who cares about your fuckwit religion

[crystallisethis]

This lady's stories are too spectacular to be true. If she really was imprisoned, why did it take her so long to realize this? Why did she wait so long, and why did she go to the press instead of the authorities? I see someone who made a choice to follow a religion and things didn't work out, now she's ranting.

[doopeuebladeue]

@crystallisethis maybe it's kinda stockholm syndrome?

[j12cote]

@crystallisethis Yeah, says the person who created a Youtube account just so they could comment on this video and nothing more.... Nice try asshole. Scientology is NOT a religion. Go fuck yourself.

[truevina]

Scientology seeks to make people happy, to rid the world of drugs, to enhance success, and to assist individuals in finding themselves.

[sharpedge62]

How insane! If you believe this lady, you're ridicules on Scientology are equally absurd...

[BannedUfos]

It's full of Asbestos too.

[dot2dotnews]

Disgrace to humanity, injustice to victims and a total disregard for law. 

[JaguarRawr]

At first this sounded a little far-fetched, but considering multiple people have stated this, the fishy letter denying it, and that the church is manipulative, this sounds true and it's disgusting.

[MitchellWiggs]

What is it about Hubbard that makes people think that any of this is a real religion?? Are people really so stupid and desperate that they would really give all their money to this cult? And even worse, why doesn't any nation's government intervene? People are dieing and being tortured and held captive in ships and structures all over the world right now by these horrible people...someone needs to help them...

[jdtrickster4]

Shut down the $cam of $cientology.

[southernclassik]

@Getstapled what too soon?

[PJLJ47]

Anonymous I have a request.

[southernclassik]

Im going to join this church.... who else wants to join me?

[krazyknva78]

@southernclassik Only if it's to take it down from the inside.

[RoveRomania]

easy guys..... Tom Cruise will explain everything !!!

[srbenda888]

@RoveRomania and Travolta

[vaidotas86]

Scientology is evil

[anonmonk]

Looking forward to the day this cult go broke.

[anonmonk]

Ron was a con and David Miscavaige is a body bassher

[anonmonk]

Thanks for posting.  What a corrupt criminal organization.

[b1p0l4rt]

I would love to see American press doing this.

[anonymom17]

I feel so sorry for the children born into this cult. Usually taken away from their families and coerced into being SOs in degrading conditions. Oh. Except for the celebrity children who get to enjoy the celebrity centers' shows and restaurants.

[ElronsThetan]

@LucianoPiz

REPORT TO ETHICS ASAP!!!

[chavripper]

Evil cult, L Ron Hubbard was a piece of shit, David Miscavige needs jailing NOW!

Just think of all the money the IRS could sees.

[HollyLouiseCarlson]

Good job. I applaud any and all exposure of this fraudulent "church"!

[EnturbulationStation]

Poor kid born into a cult and held against her will.

Hope this video goes viral fast.

Thank you Valeska. Your life will get better from here on in.

Hope you're tied into ex-scientologist groups and forums.

[ElronsThetan]

This universe has long been looking for new ways to make slaves. Well, we've got some new ways to make slaves here.

LRH

[LucianoPiz]

@ElronsThetan THE KEY OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOORS !BITCH!

[Redrider425]

Can someone write the world court? There are international abuses here.

[sk8mike]

Kidnapping, and abuse is only the tip of the iceberg. What else is $cientology trying to hide? $cientology is circling the drain. Everyone knows that the cult of $cientology is a criminal organization. I expect I'll be reading about FBI raids on$cientology compounds while I eat my breakfast in the near future.

[xenubarb]

Another person enslaved as a minor! Hopefully she'll go after the cult in court, and not fold like Daniel Montalvo.

[laserofjustice]

The fact that David Miscavige wont appear on camera for an interview speaks volumes- where is hiding on the "tone scale" again?!

[TheEvilOfScientology]

When will our governments wake the fuck up to this disgusting cult hiding under the guise of a religion?

This is nothing to do with Miscavige being a retarded tosspot; it's ALL to do with L. Ron Hubbard being a scummy, scamming, evil bastard. David Miscavige, the criminal cult, disconnection, misery, violence, dishonesty, depravity, threats, criminality, etc., are just the end product of following Scientology and Ronny The Racist's policies to the letter.

[LucianoPiz]

@TheEvilOfScientology in the nazi time you could have ben a very good SS "MIKE"

[LucianoPiz]

@LucianoPiz this man is an sp and he is crazy like a cow !

this video is just blak propaganda against scientology THE FREEWINDS IS A PURE PARADISE AND THE STAFF IS FREE TO STAY OR TO GO.

STOP TO BLAK PR MY RELIGION !!

[TheEvilOfScientology]

@LucianoPiz Thank you. :)



[scilonschools]

The Internayional nature of the trafficing, through several 'free' western countries including Sussex in the UK!! Very Scary!!

[ChanologyAgent]

Wow. We all knew it was going on, but this is the most candid statement by an actual victim I've ever seen.  Go Lateline!
