Clearwater Scientology Hearings, Paulette Cooper 1/4

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 celebrity 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.

What $cientology did to Paulette Cooper was DISGUSTING. The cult is circling the drain. Member numbers are at an all time low. People like Paulette who stood up when no one else was are def. heros in my book. much love lady!

Paulette Cooper is not a movie hero, she is a real hero. If only this video could have been paired with the one of Tom Cruise that went viral. It should be court-ordered required viewing for anyone who is considering joining this abusive, crazy cult. I read Paulette's articles, and book, shortly after being alarmed by the Cruise video. Since then, I have been actively anti-Scientology, and I have never regularly protested anything in my entire life. Paulette is my inspiration.

The very nature of lawsuitd represent an actual risk to one's personal health...so Ms. Cooper all by herself as against the huge BUX n'ARROGANCE of CoS was & remains "extremely extraordinary." //~_~\\
