The Persecution of Ex members, current members [RPF], Authors & critics, and those who support them by the fraud called Scientology

"If you tell a lie long enough and effectively enough, you can get the masses to believe it. For example, the Virginia Slims Tennis Tournament suggests to impressionable children and teenagers that tennis players actually smoke. Athletes have known for decades that "smoking cuts your wind." The tobacco propaganda machine is like the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984. If you work at it, you can convince the proles (proletariat) that war is peace, slavery is freedom, black is white, and two and two make five." -William A. Levinson, www.stentorian.com

9 November 2006 - Barbara Graham reports vandalism while away from home LINK

1 October 2006 - My friend Barbara Graham got an article published about Scientology's harassment. HERE

As the detectives stood in my home, a friend apprised the men of my relationship with the cult. The detective then asked why I would speak out against Scientology if I knew reprisals were likely. The answer is, I wanted to warn others about the potential harm of Scientology. Look at it this way: If I knew you were about to step on a rattlesnake, wouldn't you want me to warn you?

15 September 2006 - I (Arnie Lerma) have been informed that another Private investigator, is calling my friends and spreading innuendo that I'm being supported by a 20 year old? amazing... frankly I wouldn't mind at all if it were true..I'm almost 56.

July 8th, 2006 - Above: Scientologist Michael Fitzgerald arrested for assaulting a peaceful picketer of Scientology. Shawn Lonsdale, in Clearwater, who uses the nickname Proflex on the OCMB Chat board was assaulted by the Scientologist above. Shawn says that he knew this day was going to be different.. because Scientology's handlers were not acting the same.. and they were moving about, watching him, talking on cell phones.. as if the incident was choreographed..Without provocation, the assailant rushed at Shawn, who saw him coming, while getting the event on video tape, Shawn directed the attackers headlong rush into a plate glass window, which was impacted fairly hard, though his head did not break it. Non Scientologist witnesses backed up shawn's description of events, which was in turn backed up by the video tape which is in the possession of the Clearwater Police.

Michael fitzgerald's arrest record is HERE, and his listing showing completed Scientology courses is HERE.
Editors comment - these are the same tactics used by the nazis.

May 2005

The Fair Game policy is still applied , to the contrary of claims made
by Scientology.

What basis do I have for this statement? 

I have been subjected to it myself after exposing, and with the help
of colleagues,
put a stop to Narconon in my region in Sweden. ( The matter is
still pending in court. Final ruling has not been made) The stop could
, with worst case scenario, be just temporary.

After having a feisty debate in the newspapers with Co$ Public
Relation Officer of Sweden and with some other scienos , the Fair
Gaming started. First a bunch of members from cchr protested outside
the hospital and outside the psychiatric clinic. The OSA officer from
Stockholm, rented a local in my hometown at the same time ( to
organize the actions of course) and had an add in the paper where she
proclaimed an open house for citizens to get informed about
scientology.
The clinic was also intruded by Co$ members spreading pamphlets all
over the place and to the harassment of the patients in the
waiting room.

Several phone calls and a letters to the management of "my" clinic was
made by OSA , with the intention to get me fired or at least strongly
reprimanded because of my actions against Co$ and Narconon.

A retired professor of governmental law was hired by Co$, to
investigate the judicial situation and preferably to get my ass in the
courtroom.

A smearing campaign was launched in the newspaper ( Black PR ) against
me , using some poor women who had turned to me for help regarding her
friend who was in the claws of Narconon.

Co$ made written allegations to the ,police, the regional governmental
office, the National Board of Health and Welfare , requesting some
kind of legal actions against me.

All this happened during the period of spring 2003 to the summer 2004.

This far the only consequence for me personally has been the
inconvenience of making an investigation of my own of Narconon and
Co$.

My and my colleagues medical arguments against Narconon can be read at:
http://www.holysmoke.org/narconon/narconon-denied-permission.htm

So I can assure Barbara Schwarz and other concerned parties on this
board , with the fact that Orkeltatte's true identity most certainly is
well known by the OSA, as well as the fact that actions has been taken
against my person , all in line with the unofficial Fair Game Policy.

June 2003: Scientology's Stazi visits yet another ex-member's friends
- Tory...in their quest for silence

Activist Jeff Jacobsen's father smeared by Scientology

"I went by a news rack of our singles paper tonight and someone had opened up the rack and put flyers against my dad in amongst our newspapers. This is sleazy for several reasons:

* they are using our commercial property to distribute material without payment or permission. This is essentially theft.
* the flyers are unsigned
* it is, I'm sure, an attempt to get at me by attacking a family member. Isn't that a Mafia tactic?

Since this flyer is quite consistent with a large number of examples of other Scientology character assassination flyers (including one on me distributed around my neighborhood), I certainly suspect Scientology.

Jeff is organizing the next
International Protest of Scientology for Dec. 7, 2002.

Title: Spreading Lies The Scientology Way Feb 2000

As some of you may know, I am a former public, OT7 Scientologist who is now a
member of the board of the Lisa McPherson Trust, a group dedicated to reforming
Scientology.

In the last couple of days, several of my former Totally Fun Company employees
have called me, and told me that Eugene Ingram, a Church of Scientology PI from
L.A., has contacted them trying to dig up dirt on Patricia Greenway and myself.


Since Ingram really can't find anything bad about either of us, he's been
taking information from my supposedly confidential P.C. folder, and twisting it
into salacious lies in his own perverse way as a way to smear me.

The flier continued: "When he's not stirring up hatred in the streets, Keller is poisoning the Internet by filling it full of religious bigotry and intolerance."

A letter from Gerry Armstrong "But documents gathered through a lawsuit started by her family show that she went through a terrible ordeal, during which she was held against her will and was illegally given the potent sedative chloral hydrate without proper medical supervision, while Scientologist clerks, librarians, and other non-medical personnel watched her lose her mind and her life"

intimate personal religious beliefs (Christian) and his actions were designed
clearly to get me to give up my Christian religious beliefs in exchange

Gerry Armstrong on Gulags of Scientology

I have seen people picked up bodily by four big men and taken to the RPF kicking, struggling and screaming in protest. That is not "voluntary" as Scientology's spokespeople claim. I have seen many people held and guarded. All mail out of the RPF was read by the MAA, and any mail in could be. Telephone calls to family were by permission and were monitored. The RPF is something Germany and every government should look at because the citizens of every country are being assigned to these US-based gulags in violation of basic human rights.

Robert Vaughn Young on Gulags of Scientology

"But this is typical of the RTC/OSA, to divert attention away from what they are doing and claim that others are doing it TO them. No. People are being brutalized INSIDE Scientology and the horrifying part is that they are being convinced it is right, just as those hundreds of people were convinced to follow Jim Jones in Guyana. "

"I remember one morning when the 82 of us got 16 slices of bread to share and one man took 6 of them. It was near civil war that got started. The meals were eaten in a cellar where we shared the space with lots of pigeons. It was very dirty, filled with bird shit. On one occasion I had to fight with the pigeons to get my meal. The food was never enough for all of us and consisted of rice and beans - no plates, no cutlery and no pots. Once we got soup, and I was lucky to possess a small plastic mug so I could drink it"
