Believe it or not, warning people as to the dangers of entering a cult can lead to you becoming bankrupt, stalked, harassed and even killed.
I am sure than everyone watching this will have heard of Scientologys Fair Game policy, since renamed to prevent bad PR. To refreshen memories, Fair Game is the process of destroying critics. In L Rons own words: SP Order. Fair game. May be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed. Over the years, several Scientology critics have been attacked by the cult, most resulting in false trial and bankruptcy, others an all-out slander campaigns.
The most documented case is with writer Paulette Cooper, the case Scientology referred to as Operation Freakout. after writing a book on Scientologys secrets, called The scandals of scientology. From that moment on, she received uncountable death threats through phonecalls and was stalked back to her apartment. It even got to the point that somebody tried to take her life. Coopers cousin, who has a similar figure, answered the door to a flower delivery man. He immediately put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger. Luckily the gun jammed or backfired or in some other way was rendered unusable. The man then attempted to choke her, but ran away when she started screaming.
After cooper moved to a more secure apartment, 300 of her neighbours received anonymous slander letters. A few weeks later, FBI agents began questioning her over two anonymous bomb threats sent to scientology. To summarise a long chain of events, Scientologists had befriended her to infiltrate her flat and take paper with her fingerprints on to falsify evidence. A long legal battle then ensued between Cooper and Scientology, bankrupting her and could have put her in jail for 15 years. Fortunately, Operation Freakout was unveiled by the FBI and the culprits were prosecuted accordingly.
Even ex-members are Fair Game. Those who enroll in Scientology courses and choose to claim a refund have to sign a waver that acknowledges them as Fair Game. This happened to Mr. Wollersheim in his case against Scientology in Los Angeles, the court ruled that Wollersheim was compelled to abandon his wife and his family through the policy of disconnect. When his mental illness reached such a level he actively planned his suicide, he was forbidden to seek professional help. Finally, when Wollersheim was able to leave the Church, it subjected him to financial ruin through its policy of 'fair game. At appeal, Scientology asserted that "fair game" was a "core practice of Scientology", and therefore protected as "religious expression". This position was also made on behalf of Scientology in the case against Gerald Armstrong, in 1984, by religious expert Dr. Frank Flinn.
In essence, anyone perceived as an enemy of scientology is encouraged to be attacked, in particular Psychology, psychiatry and mental health professions, in addition to all critics. They have even erected a pseudo-museum in Los Angeles titled Psychiatry: An Industry of Death that claims that psychiatrists were responsible for the rise of nazi germany. To prove their point, they show hideous images of people having needles stuffed in their eyeballs, of patients undergoing electric shocks and having their brains operated on. Essentially, Scientology is riding the wave of the Holocaust in an attempt to destroy a medical branch percieved as an enemy.
I ask you, what kind of a religion not only condones violence, but both preaches it and constantly resorts to it? What religion actively stalks critics, ex-members and labels protesters as religious terrorists? The fact remains that Scientolgoy is a danger not only to its own members, but those in the public. Hubbard has written that one of the aims of Sceintology is to either convert 20% of the population seen as a threat, or silence them swiftly and without mercy. I emplore all listeners to investigate all information I have presented for themselves, and either join the anonymous protests against scientology, or at least find some way to use your abilities for the good of mankind. Togther, we can right this worng, correct this mistake, bring justice to scientology.
I am J.
I am Justice.
Justice previals.
Yes, well, it's the best I can do with the equipment I have. The audio either comes out too quiet, or turns weird when I boost it.
Also, the bits where it sounds really out-of-place is where I tried to boost audio that was too quiet to be intelligible.
In short: I'll try, but chances are it'll be more of the same.
