Scientology: Fair Game?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Scientology’s founder, L. Ron Hubbard, once defined the religion as being in service of ‘a civilisation without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights’.
Almost 60 years since its foundation, though, Scientology has become a uniquely contentious phenomenon - with many questioning its status as a religion, cult or business, and with a reputation for fiercely defensive, litigious and coercive reactions to criticism. One of the first to feel the Church’s wrath was Paulette Cooper - whose 1971 book, The Scandal of Scientology, saw her become the target of an elaborate plot which set out to destroy her credibility, frame her and land her with a 15 year prison sentence. Codenamed ‘Miss Lovely’ by Church operatives, Cooper is now the subject of investigative journalist Tony Ortega’s book, The Unbreakable Miss Lovely.
Ortega is a long-time chronicler of Scientology, and one of its leading scrutineers. Featured in Alex Gibney’s HBO documentary Going Clear, he’s the executive editor of TheLipTV and former editor-in-chief of The Village Voice. He visits Melbourne - where the world’s first inquiry into Scientology was held in 1963, and Scientology was first banned in 1965 - for a chat with Steve Cannane, who’s currently writing a book on Scientology’s history in Australia.

A billion year contract with a 12 year old child? WTF.
Dominico Caro Back when they had a children’s Sea Org even younger kids signed “billion year contracts”. Jenna Miscavige (David’s niece) who left Scientology wrote an excellent book that gives you a good idea of how kids & teens are treated in Scientology. Teenagers are still being told to drop out of high school & join the Sea Org (Scientology’s slaves). It’s sick.
Scientology preaches reincarnation, and you get a 21 year hiatus if you die.
I wonder where L Ron Hubbard is? He died 34 years ago.

@@matthewscott1091 so Ghilsaine maxwell as part of her socialite charity work image in n.y. started up an airy faery organisation about saving the ocean and being a friend of it or whatever. should we be making a connection and if so was her stance pro or con scientology because some of the things her victims are carefully wording are not sexual abuse i don't think.
I don't have a problem with people believing in something if it makes them better people; I have a problem with people who use religion to abuse people.
Same
scientology is not a religion. even Hubbard admitted it.
Religion has been used to abuse its adherents since its inception. All religions are abusive, whether it’s physical or mental.

All Cults have one thing in common "NO MERCY'!
I lived in Clearwater Florida when Scientology moved into the Fort Harrison Hotel and made it into it's world organizational center. In my opinion, the striking thing about that move was in my entire life, I have never seen a "church" that needed guards with machine guns on the roof overseeing the move.
I don't know if the newspaper archives of the now defunct Clearwater Sun newspaper are still available but there were photos there. This was around 1974 / 75. Another place to look would be the St. Petersburg Times, now known as The Tampa Bay Times. They may have something in their archives.
The Mayor of Clearwater, at the time, Gabriel Cazares, was a staunch, vocal critic and had suffered a shitload of harassment where they even went through his trash looking for dirt on him. Not very many non-scientologists, at the time, bought their shit because he was well respected then.
I grew up in Clearwater, FL and confirm what you say. It was a beautiful town and wonderful place to grow up. We belonged to Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church, right across the street from the Jack Tarr Fort Harrison Hotel where we would sometimes go for lunch after church. Such a nightmare what Scientology did to Clearwater in their determination to take over and control the town. Scientology is such a nightmare and so destructive.
A cult
@@kkerigan1632 That's what then Mayor Gabriel Cazares tried to tell everybody and almost succeeded until those knotheads at the IRS declared it a "church" which killed his effort with one shot. I wonder how many of that determining body were planted there by scientologists?
It's important to note, they didn't really care if you bought their stuff anyway. They wouldn't "let" you join there anyway. Clearwater is for practicing Scientologists, NEVER for incoming people to learn and join.
Clearly it is an abusive cult
Very good facts provided by Tony Ortega, thank you Tony and Steve Cannane.
Thank you for this excellent interview, as well as the update on the former spokesperson of Scientology. It's unfortunate that Tommy would be sued to death if he were to speak out in public, now that he is out. What Paulette Cooper went through must have been a nightmare. I have great respect and admiration for her, as well as for Tony Ortega, in helping her to tell her story.
Everyone, please boycott all Scientology Income opportunities, such as Tom Cruise, John Travolta (who I love), Lisa Marie Presley and any other current members who are selling. The Celebrities are used for big money.
Lisa Marie s son committed suicide in part because of scientology. Lisa Marie basically stuck him into scientology (she was into it big time) he suffered depression for years because of what he had to go through when he was in there. It's telling that she supposedly broke away from the Scientology church right after his death. I haven't heard anything more about it since, so who knows if she really did quit them. Elvis being Christian would've had a fit if he'd known that Pricilla got Lisa involved in Scientology! I see now where some of the millions Lisa inherited went now! She was close to broke and had to sell one of her homes at one point, because of a money crunch. She's fine money wise since Pricilla opened Graceland to the public in 1982.
America would never do that they love their entertainment too much. Tom Cruise is revered by everyone but Nicole and Katie, they ran and never looked back they know what he’s like.
Lisa Marie was killed by a lack of love!
I don't get why a religion/cult that claims to wanting to helping humanity treat its followers like slaves or worse?
Obviously the creator of this cult lied to the followers, and he used them so he could gain wealth!
Ummm read the bible its been going on for centuries
The money that should be used to support members, is used for extortion

Most would RUN (as they should) from evil if seen for what it is in the bright light of day. They try to hide it in the shaddows of something good. Free-Masons, Jesuits, and others do that too.

Get into Scientology via Tony Ortega and Leah Remini and realize that many truly can't get away that easily. Only the really rich and higher ups get to live off-campus. People have o plot their escape well to leave. Check out information on David Miscavige and his wife Shelley - the latter who hasn't been seen for years. Also David's dad Ron, who escaped Scientology.
@@MusicfromMarrs You stated what I was about to. It isn't to get away from them, they pretty much keep the people under lock and key,plus they have other scientologists spy on you and report anything unusual that they see or hear. They beat them for no reason at all, so they rule by fear. After they do get out they harass the ones that get out by calling their jobs and spread lies to their neighbors and jobs and sometimes even kidnap them and take them back!

Re: 40:30, the investigators stop getting their fee if they get discovered, but they also stop getting their fee if the target dies.
The fact that they have an internal justice system should tell those involved or those who are thinking about being involved that it is dangerous.
I do understand though that those inside are being brainwashed. So sad.
Thanks for sharing Tony!
The Nazis evolved in the same way this cult is evolving. The language they use is the same, their intimidation tactics are the same and the indoctrination of their children is the same. They will fall and be brought to account in the same way that the Nazis were. I wonder how they are preparing for that day?
are you suggesting that the church of Scientology will ultimately be destroyed by the Soviet Union when their armies come from the east?
@@photosynthesis69 the Nazis were destroyed by my father, my uncles and my mother, and all of Britain took them on before Stalin , before America and before the rest of the world. Are you saying that alone, from the beginning Russia beat the Germans? I think not. You speak like an obfuscating Cult follower when you suggest otherwise. Which enemies of mankind have you taken on? The Church of Scientology relies on bullying and fear to keep it’s flock (of sheep) in order. Thankfully they have set up home in America , a country I hope to be strong enough to rid themselves of the dreadfully autonomous Scientology nazi-like gangs. Come on America, police your own country properly, wake up to Scientology and crush them while you still can.

I just found this interview, very impressed. If I recall correctly I have a vague recollection in about 1988 or so that this group were interviewing and asking question here in Swanston St Melbourne and was asked to take a personality assessment but it was them. I questioned why and so on and then they left me alone. As per the interview the target audience were university aged people so glad I avoided all of this. By the way Steve and Tony are great and Going Clear was a fascinating documentary.
Yes I too was asked in Europe. I thought the woman who asked me was very strange and was skeptical and declined! I was going. Tbank God I didn't go for it!
Same happened to me in Martin Place in Sydney about 30 years ago. As clueless as I was about what Scientology was, but thought a free personality test sounded pretty cool! So I went with him to the church building in Sydney, can’t remember which street but I think it was Elizabeth street. I started doing the test and about 5 minutes into it, it dawned on me that they were trying to find out some pretty weird stuff. So I took my pencil and test to the lady behind the desk and said, “no, this isn’t for me. I have people at home who care about me!” And promptly left the building with her calling out “but no, it’s not like that!

Excellent information!
Where is Shelley!
My absolute favorite Scientology fact is that there are more people worldwide that subscribe to the Jedi religion then there are scientologists!
L. Ron Hubbard and Robert A. Heinlein made a bet in a bar one night either that L. Ron could not create a religion, or to see who could create a religion first. (In the second case, Stranger in a Strange Land is often cited as Heinlein's effort.) Believe it or not
The church of all worlds is Heinlein's version. Not big but I run into members occasionally. Perhaps established in st. Louis I don't remember. Stranger in ...... Was a great book until I got to that last "thou art god" and realized it was a repeat of the Jesus story. Haha.
Now my favorite book of all time is battlefield earth by Hubbard, while Heinlein is my favorite author.
I looked into that a while back and I think that there is no evidence to support this and there might even be evidence to disprove it. But it is an old story.
One of the things that weighs against it being true is that Hubbard wanted the American Psychiatric Association to approve Dianetics as a valid way of treating patients, and they rejected it: rightfully so. He lost his mind and until his death was 100% against any therapies other than Dianetics and Scientology. This makes it seem like he _started out_ to create something more scientific than a religion. Then he needed a tax dodge....
See Aaron Smith-Levin's Growing Up in Scientology channel for balanced discussions and analysis. He just passed 100k!
Like what religion has a fair game policy where u attack anyone that doesn’t agree with ur religion... That’s just crazy straight up and down

It's crazy how such a small religion can have so much influence to escape constant violations of the law. Since this video was released, I don't think anything major happened at the institutional level. But it also makes me wonder why not more criminal organizations use the shield of being a religion.
Law enforcement authorities are going to have to get educated about psychology of abuse, ans the PTSD diagnosis, because people is not ready to process all the things that happened for so many years of abuse, until a long long time later, for instance they have to have a psychologists to analize the cases along with them.

Sadly it seems they will continue to get this across all our countries at this rate.
FL Scientology buildings are filled with people from 'third world countries' doing whatever work they're told to do. Life here is evidently better than in their home countries; their work, food, clothes, etc - which doesn't say much for their homelands based on the horror stories of former members from the USA, Australia and the like. I've wondered if they were brought here to 'work' w/o becoming actual members or were they sold a bill of goods like the M-----s do to not illiterate but not the most modern thinking people (and these get to come to America). They won't talk to people on the street--just get off their bus and go into their building. Sheep.
A video was released recently that showed how they fit 11 people into an incredibly small hotel room that has just one bathroom! The UA-camr See Aaron Smith-Levin discussed his experience in one of those same hotel rooms and explained why it can cost up to a thousand dollars a month to be there and do training and then work in the evenings or weekends!
See his Growing Up in Scientology channel for balanced discussions and analysis. He just passed 100k! It was on his channel that I found the phrase, "The Aftermath Foundation can help you if you blow," which is more helpful than yelling "Xenu!" at people. Offering something helpful is better than confronting them with things that their training makes them shut down on contact with.
Especially if people in the Sea Org leave or, in Scientology jargon, blow, they'll just owe even more money to Scientology, and will have difficulties finding a place to live, etc. The Aftermath Foundation can help them with that and a million other small difficulties that they'd run across outside of CoS, which can add up pressure quickly, especially if their family is still in Scientology and considers them suppressive people.
Aaron's heart-rending story can be seen on Netflix (in the US at least) in the first season either episode three or seven. Their neighbor, who was a fellow Scientologist at that time, was more concerned about how their disconnection (shunning) was going to affect his dog rather than his small children! Sigh.
Excellent interview!

As for Hubbard's account of fighting a submarine/fighting magnetical anomaly, that part could conceivably happen. Any submerged submarine in that area would have been hostile and would be engaged. So that decision, AT WORST, is a waste of ammunition. And it would certainly behove USN officers to err on the side of depth charging a suspicious anomaly rather than to conserve depth charges.
Now claiming without evidence that you sunk two enemy subs. That is downright laughable and should be ridiculed forever more.

I'd like to know why we don't see new stories of Tom Cruise pulling people out of car wrecks all the time. I'm sure he's driven by them!
thinking about how they attract people, well, this is definitely not a homogenous group of people. From what I have gleaned so far watching these yt shows with journalists and ex-members, there may be several distinct groups and each of them gets attracted to scientology by a set of different methods. One set for family members and second (even third) generation, one for celebrities and one for the rest of them. Among the rest of them, like among the celebrities there are ppl with much money but not much time for thinking, so even if smart, they tend to stay on the surface of thinking. These are the cash cows, they don't need so many of them actually.
Maybe I should elaborate this last thing I said. Successful people, those with hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars of cash ready to be donated are usually the types who are superfocused on whatever work they do, so basically dont have much time for deeper thinking on anything else.
