Scientology what you didn't know

Scientology is a religion created by the science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard. The church has courted controversy at every turn and boasts many celebrity members including Tom Cruise. Recently Germany banned scientology and labeled it organized crime, many people say this is religious intolerance, but just read this article and then make up your own mind.

Scientology is a moneymaker L Ron Hubbard was quoted many times as saying ‘the only real way to make big money is to start a religion’. And now thanks to his wisdom for a price you could reach the highest levels of existence and according to the church develop superpowers! And you would be surprised at what affordable prices this knowledge comes at. For as little as three hundred and eighty thousand dollars you could reach operating Thetan level eight, its about this point where you find out you are in a religion about aliens.

Its about what now!?

Members of the church are told to shut off all communications with family members and friends who leave the church or are deemed SP (Suppressive personalities); the idea of shunning is extremely cult like.

On the subject of Suppressive personalities, if you are considered a SP (suppressive personality) you are labeled fair game by the church, and they will then do everything they can to ruin your life. Just look at Operation Freakout, Paulette cooper is an American author and a critic of the Church Of Scientology, due to her criticism, the Church harassed her and on one occasion sent forged bomb threats purportedly by Cooper. But it gets much worse. Operation Freakout was there plan to get her incarcerated, in a jail or a mental institution or at least ‘Hit her so hard she drops her attacks’, the plan was as follows.

First, a woman was to imitate Paulette Cooper’s voice and make telephone threats to Arab consulates in New York. Second, a threatening letter was to be mailed to an Arab consulate in such a fashion that it would appear to have been done by Paulette Cooper (who is Jewish). Third, a Scientologist volunteer was to impersonate Paulette Cooper at a Laundromat and threaten the current President Gerald Ford and then the Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. A second Scientologist would thereafter inform the FBI of the threat.

Jesus Christ!

When the FBI raided a scientology office in 1977 they found documentation relating to the operation, and Paulette sued the church.

These terror tactics are not isolated incidents you can see it in video after video after video, they all use the same technique there is literally dozens of video of them using the ‘bull baiting’ technique of not letting the person talk, repeating personal insults and saying ‘what’s your crimes?’ using constant repetition.

When a BBC journalist tried to do a documentary on the church, they didn’t send a PR man to put a smiley face on everything, they sent someone to stalk him and scream at him. Check out the video.

You may be saying so some followers are crazy, well actually the church TRAINS them to do these things just read that then watch this. Also this video shows the brainwashing techniques and the argument tactics of followers. Not to mention the staff are kept in hellish conditions being completely controlled by the church.

And these tactics go right to the centre of the church, just look at this extract from a article written by L Ron Hubbard.

Attack the attacker

(1) Spot who is attacking us.

(2) Start investigating them promptly for felonies or worse using own professionals, not outside agencies.

(3) Double curve our reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them.

(4) Start feeding lurid, blood, sex, crime actual evidence on the attackers to the press.

Said by L Ron Hubbard

—Attacks on Scientology, "Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter," 25 February 1966

The church has attacked psychiatry claiming that it is fraudulent and does great harm; they have co-opted the Holocaust and have tried to say psychiatrists were responsible for it, and they have pretty much attributed all the worlds woes to psychiatry (including the 9/11 terrorist attacks). Look at this video in which a high-ranking scientologist gives a speech on how they plan to destroy psychiatry and over the course of the lecture advocates violence towards practitioners.

And Tom Cruise himself has gone on talk shows to criticise psychiatry and in the process reveal himself to not know what he is talking about. What the church wants is to take away the credibility of psychiatry and that is horrible, it has only recently that it has becomes socially acceptable for a man to suffer from depression or for a woman to have post partum depression. It wants to take away all the significant progress and achievements we have made in the field of psychiatry.

Even so this is the largest achievement we have made in psychiatry

We have yet to broach one of the most controversial events in the church's history Lisa Macpherson. On November eighth 1995 Lisa Macpherson was involved in a vehicular collision, she attempted to take off her clothes at the scene of the accident, in response paramedics took her to a hospital. After getting there she checked herself out because she did not want to be given psychiatric care.

She then went to the scientologist run Flag Land base; she was isolated in a room.‘care logs’ detail the seventeen days she was kept there, she was incoherent often violent she bruised her feet and hands banging at the walls. She repeatedly refused food, and on four occasions staff attempted to force-feed her.

On December 5th 1995 she was ‘breathing laboriously’ she was rushed to David Minkoff’s hospital (a scientologist doctor), on their way to his clinic they passed four other hospitals. Lisa arrived at the hospital with no vital signs, she was declared dead after resuscitation attempts failed to heed results. Scientologists called her family and said she had died of “Meningitis of a blood blot”. An autopsy concluded that she had died of dehydration and it was noted she had cockroach bites all over her body. Fuck this is depressing here’s a picture of a kitten to cheer you up.

The church was never credible from the very beginning it was built on a foundation of lies let me just expose some of the most shocking and or funny for you.

L Ron wrote a self help book called 'All you want to know about radiation' On the blurb of the book L Ron claimed to be both a Medical doctor, and a nuclear physicist! Well actually in reality he dropped out of the one college course he ever took in nuclear physics, and he eventually dropped out of college all together because his grades were abysmally low.

In 1965 a panel of Australian scientists got together and examined the book, they released this statement

"The Board heard evidence from a highly qualified radiologist who has made a special study of radiation and its effects. He said that Hubbard's knowledge of radiation, as displayed by his writings in All About Radiation, was the 'sort of knowledge that perhaps a boy who has read Intermediate Physics might, with a lot of misapprehensions and lack of understanding, demonstrate' ... " SNAP!

They preceded to make yo momma jokes about Hubbard all day (Editors note:source?)

As noted previously the church is out to destroy psychiatry, here is what L Ron Hubbard (the founder of scientology) said on the subject.

"A psychiatrist today has the power to (1) take a fancy to a woman (2) lead her to take wild treatment as a joke (3) drug and shock her to temporary insanity (4) incarnate [sic] her (5) use her sexually (6) sterilize her to prevent conception (7) kill her by a brain operation to prevent disclosure. And all with no fear of reprisal. Yet it is rape and murder ... We want at least one bad mark on every psychiatrist in England, a murder, an assault, or a rape or more than one ... This is Project Psychiatry. We will remove them."

from the confidential memo "Project Psychiatry" (February 22, 1966).

As you can see from that L Ron had both a firm understanding of Psychiatric relationships and a burning hatred for it. His religion was all about not taking drugs and self will etc, Well his son L Ron Jnr said this under oath

"I have personal knowledge that my father regularly used illegal drugs including amphetamines, barbiturates and hallucinogens. He regularly used cocaine, peyote and mescaline."

It's no mean feat to have a drug collection that would put Hunter S Thompson to shame

And he once sent a letter to his wife Mary Sue in which he said, "I'm drinking lots of rum and popping pinks and grays." The pinks and grays one would assume are uppers and downers. Now keep in mind this is from the person who started a cult whose whole central concept was that you should not take drugs.

L Ron Hubbard once claimed that the Blackfoot Indian tribe had made him a blood brother of their tribe…when he was four years old, well about that L Ron lived nearly one hundred Miles away from the nearest Blackfoot reservation and that tribe never performed the act of ‘Blood Brotherhood'.

L Ron Hubbard served in the military (where he never saw combat) he wrote about it in one of his books, here is what he said

"Blinded with injured optic nerves, and lame with physical injuries to hip and back, at the end of World War II, I faced an almost non-existent future. My service record states: 'This officer has no neurotic or psychotic tendencies of any kind whatsoever,' but it also states 'permanently disabled physically. And so there came a further blow--I was abandoned by family and friends as a supposedly hopeless cripple and a probable burden upon them for the rest of my days. Yet I worked my way back to fitness and strength in less than two years, using only what I knew about Man and his relationship to the universe. I had no one to help me; what I had to know I had to find out. And it's quite a trick studying when you cannot see.”

From My philosophy by L Ron Hubbard

How inspirational! It's just unfortunate it is all lies, the church has made many claims about L Ron's service record, but the truth is (Despite there claims he was decorated) he was demoted and had this said about him by his superior officer "Consider this officer lacking in the essential qualities of judgment, leadership and cooperation...Not considered qualified for command or promotion at this time. Recommend duty on a large vessel where he can be properly supervised."

And as for those crippling injuries, he never had anything even remotely similar happen to him, although he did seek treatment using his military perks for malaria, ulcers, conjunctivitis, headaches, depression, more conjunctivitis, bursitis, foot problems, weakening vision, psychological trauma from hardcore combat, arthritis and bursitis. Although I admire the idea that he can spin 'weaning vision' into "blinded with injured optic nerves" is pretty admirable in a strange way.

So there you have it Scientology is in my opinion a dangerous organisation I have outlined a small percentage of the churches crimes, but it should be apparent that the actions of the German government, were justified when faced with an aggressive anti-semetic, murderous, cult.

Who the hell wears an Ascot?

The end of free speech, and other such hyperbole. The clean feed

Today I wish to educate you on the subject of the clean feed or mandatory Internet filter. I wish to do this because it is a subject I am deeply passionate about. You see the Senator Stephen Conroy the Communications Minister want to censor the internet, content deemed 'undesirable'. Conroy and his cronies have painted it as Government Vs Child pornographers, but it is so much, much more than that. It is a very real and very scary assault on free speech, which has the potential to damage the Economy, credibility and technological infrastructure of our country. Oscar Wilde said in ‘The Importance Of Being Earnest’ “times like these it becomes more than just a morale duty to speak ones mind, it becomes a pleasure”

Before I attempt to explain the effects of this filter, I will first do the grunt work and explain what the plan itself is. The government wants to filter the net at the ISP level (Internet service provider), it will consist of two tiers of filtering an opt out filter, which every computer will automatically have, which one can turn off with a phone call. But more worrying is the mandatory filter, that every Australian may soon be forced to use.

Listening to the people fighting tooth and nail to get the filter through one would be mistaken in thinking it would simply block child pornography. But it will also block access to pro euthanasia material, information on abortion, explanations of safe use of drugs (creating a public health hazard). The fact the government wants to block access to material that A. should be covered under freedom of speech and B. presents an argument for changing of government policy creates many moral issues. It is a worrying trend towards universal censorship.

But that is just about the least of it. It will also block access to material deemed ‘unsuitable’ for an adult audience, this means unrated content (material deemed to ‘vulgar’ for an R rating) like Flash games and video games. Here is just one example of a game that will be blocked; it features a graffiti artist who tags as a way of protesting the corruption as caused by the oppressive Orwellian government. The explanation? This could incite vandalism .

The filter will not even be effective at stopping child porn; anyone with any knowledge (including any child who has ever been in a primary or secondary school) will know how to sidestep the filter with a proxy. And the majority of child porn is not on the net; the vast, vast majority is on peer to peer sharing sites, which will not be affected by the filter.


Now is here is what it will do, it will cost the Australian taxpayer around 128 million dollars to put that in numeric form that is 128,000,000 dollars . Can you even comprehend that amount of money, because I sure as hell cant. The filter would also damage the economy, you see this plan would create a monopoly on Internet filtering, and would obliterate the opt in filter services of many companies, destroying jobs and harming the economy. The filter by many estimates would decrease the speed of the Internet by around 30-80 percent. And it would increase the cost of internet service.


Senator Conroy has been disingenuous in implying that such filters have been applied in the UK and other European countries, the truth is that only two countries have really applied comparable filters and they are err…. China and Iran. Now as a member of a democratic nation YOU yes YOU as a citizen must ask yourself, do you want Australia to appear on a list alongside China and Iran, a list of countries whose citizens have decided that their government can be the moral arbiters of what is and what is not suitable for their adult population.

The list of blocked sites will not be made public; this leaves it open to abuse EG politicians silencing their opponents, or businessmen obstructing their competition. But let us examine the alternative; were the list of sites made public, people who wanted to view child porn (and other legitimately illegal material) would be able to find it. So this is a case of damned if you do damned if you don’t.

Even child protection groups have condemned the policy. And it has been condemned by the leaders of three of the largest ISPs in Australia (Telstra, Inet and Internode) as being unworkable for various legal, technical and ethical reasons.
Polls have shown that 86% of the Australians polled opposed the policy.

So when you examine this filter you find a bad idea flawed from the ground up, it has been spun into a puritanical crusade against child pornography to disguise the fact it is a draconian unworkable idea made by people who don’t understand the internet, and either don’t see or don’t care about the repercussions of their plan. The people you are told to be scared of (the paedophiles, the terrorists) are not going to be stopped or obstructed by this, all it will do is inconvenience and fine those it is supposed to protect.
The whole thing is an excellent show of the complex, often perplexing almost always-infuriating art of spin.
