Clearwater Scientology Hearings, Paulette Cooper 3/4

May, 1982. In the wake of landmark IRS and FBI investigations into the "Church" of Scientology's criminal activities, the city of Clearwater, Florida's City Council held hearings delving into the CoS plot to infiltrate and overrun the Clearwater area. The CoS had set up their Flag operations under "Operation Normandy" in the Fort Harrison Hotel in 1975 and since, Clearwater has become a mecca for over 8,000 of Scientology's cultish goons and lavish home to famed space cadet and Celebrity Center dupe, Lisa Marie Presley.

Over the week of those hearings, the local public station televised the proceedings and the denizens of Clearwater were glued to their sets in horror as evidence of CoS crimes and misconduct came to light, which subsequently rallied the residents in a demonstration of protest against the "church"'s overtaking of the city, filling a nearby stadium.

No State or Federal agencies came to the aid of Clearwater during those hearings, and subsequently, the people of that quiet city unwittingly surrendered Clearwater to the Cult of Scientology.

This video is Paulette Cooper's sworn testimony before the Clearwater City Council Hearings that week. A freelance writer and author of "The Scandal of Scientology, Cooper was a victim of vicious and deliberate attacks against her from the CoS under the notorious "Operation Freakout", which included framing her for several bomb threats, attempts on her life, unrelenting harassment and a score of frivolous law suits. Ms. Cooper's testimony is arguably among the most damaging and all-encompassing public insight into the insidious tactics against opposers of the suppressive, scandalous and criminal institution known as the "Church" of Scientology.

This video does clearly show that the Co$ has "form" for carrying out evil acts so it is not out of the question that Shawn was murdered. I don't think there can be any question if Shawn actually committed suicide that at the very least the church probably gleefully drove him to it.

Operation Freakout. I wonder what secret code name they used when they snuffed out Shawn Lonsdale.

@Skintologist

Oh Shawn was murdered. He was on Free Access Cable IN Clearwater -their Mecca of Technical Putrefaction- running shows ON $cientology and exposing their abuses and human rights violations, etc.

I've no proof, of course, but there's no doubt in my mind he was; just like many others were in the past: Quentin Hubbard, for one (LRon's own "gay" son); even Hubbard's death is suspect. He signed a new will the day before he died??? I believe he was a nuisance for David Miscavige.

I'm not excusing the behavior of the Scientology church. But, I still think the Tech should be preserved!
