This is meant to
be a Summary -- and also a test summary open to critique. Does this
adequately explain what I'm trying to convey? Does it inspire someone
to look deeper? Does it eradicate the idea
that Scientology is "just a religion" or "just a bunch of morons" or
"just an effective method of learning and study" or "just a way to get
people off drugs and fight crime" or "just a way to solve problems in
society"? These last three points
are what Scientology is currently impressing on global, national, and
regional political leaders. As this page is being developed further, much of the material is reliant on this web forum discussion, for which I gratefully credit Fintan Dunne and other contributors, as well as *ex-Scientologists* and other activists. The People Versus Corporate Scientologyhttp://breakfornews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3924a.k.a. http://www.breakfornews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3924 Videos which provide a lot of examples and evidence are avalable on this site and on these pages http://breakfornews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=39251#39251 YouTube videos require the Adobe Flash extension. You probably already have it. In a nutshell, Scientology -- like other "modern" cults and even like non-cults like AA to a minor degree -- combines religion and psychology/psychiatry. However, it is much more, much worse, and what they say they are morphs depending on the conversation and even within conversations. In other words, they are intentionally evasive about what they are, for some very important reasons. On one hand, they insist that they are a religion and cite tax court cases and First Amendment cases to prove it On the other hand, when asked about their beliefs in Xenu and creation of the universe and meaning of life, David Miscavige told Ted Koppel that (A) they don't use that anymore as part of the "Technology", or (b) that these specific stories about Hubbard travelling to the Van Allen Belt and the Xenu story or here and are just archetypal stories which are part of ALL religions. (The nine-part "ABC Nightline Koppel Miscavige" interview is currently searchable on YouTube.com.) So setting aside religion, as Miscavige does (partially, evasively to Koppel), what remains? "Helping" the human race, "healing" the human spirit, removing or freeing what they call Body Thetans. How? Actually, by "hacking the soul" and by using what one ex-Member called "black psychology", after she did a lot of research into basic concepts of psychology/psychiatry. (link below under discussion of their stated "one world religion" goals) NOTE: To offer balance, here's Another Look at Scientology by an ex-member and critic writes about cultic aspects and potential danger, from a less-than-hysterical perspective Admittedly, the anti-Scn forum (usenet) people tend towards insults and "flame wars" rather than skilled and reasoned debate. That's also true today. However, since Bernie offers mostly snippets (and I don't have time to research the entire spectrum of old usenet posts), it is also possible that the Scn defenders online attempted to "bait" the anti-Scn people, but like in these videos, and the anti-Scn people allowed themselves to be driven to rage and to generalized prejudice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocw90W44Boc "What are your crimes?" Explanation of crime and criminality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvjzDgMmELY More Personal Insults http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G8OArPHyh8 Bull Baiting part 3 (aggressive, and profanity from both sides) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLLW9xEFMgI Bull Baiting part 1 ("you bumped into me" "that's assault") Scientologists "help" low grade humans (which their "scripture" calls "raw meat" recruits, and describes as mindless "biological robots") via bastardized and abused Freudian psychological/psychiatric byproducts. Not the whole of psychiatry itself -- which they vehemently reject and seek to destroy -- but byproducts of the psych method, like unwitting hypnosis and unwitting transference (dependency) abuse. Using hypnosis without consent of the patient and abusing transference is not only a violation of the American Psychological Association’s ETHICAL PRINCIPLES OF PSYCHOLOGISTS AND CODE OF CONDUCT, it is also illegal. It is illegal to use psychiatry to scam patients out of sex, money, labor, or to put people into mental slavery. "A very effective thought control technique could also be
worked out from Scientology, which could be used to make individuals
into willing slaves."
L Ron HubbardBut don't plan on catching Scientologists doing this. Copyright and trade secrets prevent outside inspection (or auditing them). Their hatred of psychiatry, which is a large part of the core foundation of their teachings, means that anyone objectively knowledgeable enough to evaluate their methods, and to authoritatively explain them to others, is their sworn enemy who Scientology aims to destroy en masse, on their claims that psychiatry seeks to destroy them, only due to psychiatry's jealously, fear, competition, and hatred of mankind and/or hatred of religion. (maybe partly true, professional institutional groups and govt agencies do engage in jealous antics from time to time, including FBI vs. CIA and Army vs. Marines, and some psychiatrists also despise or dismiss religion) In this 2006/07 New Years Eve
event, David Miscavige outlines how Scientology
intends to destroy psychiatry using violent imagery including
hand grenades and explosions
(the ultimate goal is replacing psychiatry with themselves, with their "Tech") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfu7Sr50N7U These abuses are inflicted invisibly in the background, in stages, during the outward visible methods of Auditing and later exercises and drills, some of which directly mimic CIA interrogation and counter-intelligence methods. The early stages of Auditing an inductee's past, which are recorded and kept for posterity (and it's official internal policy to use these records for blackmailing future critics for their "crimes") often FEEL quite pleasant and benign, relaxing. Mild Hypnosis is all these things. Likewise, Study Tech as an introductory stage probably does help people focus better, via both hypnosis and alleviating immediate past problems and worries. Many of the counter-protester techniques shown in this post, http://breakfornews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=39275#39275 --- and these techniques are also used on cult members who are caught or suspected of minor infractions, like having critical opinions of methods, the group, or of leaders, or of making minor mistakes in assigned tasks --- these methods resemble techniques used by the military and intelligence in Abu Gharaib and Guantanimo Bay. Yelling at prisoners, yelling orders, harassment, isolation, sleep deprivation, demeaning slurs, threats against individuals and their families, even physical violence. These are high-level counter-intelligence methods. "Dear Alice" (below) is modeled on a CIA interrogation technique called Alice in Wonderland, whereby teams of interrogators create confusion/compliance in the trapped prisoner by shoutinga series of nonsense phrases. Scientology teaches that Suppressive Persons, or Antisocials are a class comprising
two and a half percent of earth's population, and are the cause of all illness,
accidents and any bad condition. Scientology states that SPs are completely
evil and irredeemable, "truly dangerous," committing
crime continuously, "psychotic," and deserving
of no civil rights.
Scientology also teaches, and Cruise knows, that the Antisocial Personality, the SP, is, as the Hubbard bulletin but not the online version says, the “Anti-Scientologist.” The opponents or critics of Scientology or any of its doctrines, policies or practices are the people that the organization identifies as Suppressive Persons. from http://suppressiveperson.org/spdl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=320 and summarized http://breakfornews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=39294#39294 Cruise and Miscavige often tell naïve interviewers about their goal of "helping" to clear society of anti-social persons and behavior. Sounds good? For more serious "crimes", Scientology currently uses RPF (Rehabilitation Project Force) prisons, Re-Education Labor camps like Mao's China or Stalin's Gulag, for both adults and children. These prison terms can last for many years, sometimes until the person agrees to sign a "confession of crimes" that Scientology leaders accuse them of. (The language of these "crimes" is often done in such a manner as to make minor conflicts sound like actual criminal activities.) Many of these "crimes" against Scientology are subjective, and consist of "conspiracy" or "conspiracy of thought and intention". http://breakfornews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=39277#39277 Some reports of the use of "vitamins" which sometimes include psychoactive substances. OK, but no one has to join a religion, right? WRONG. They now claim 10 million or so members trained by "the Tech" to be politically-aggressive, and a highly aggressive and unethical legal attack team, all charged with spreading Scientology across the globe, without asking anyone's permission (we are the authorities, per Tom Cruise), and by overturning anything that stands in their way (taking anything "out of the road", per Miscavige). With this strategy, it matters less if people join them if our children end up being taught by "Way to Happiness" advisors. If they were not lobbying politicians and trying to partner with govts, I would not be so concerned. For chrissakes, they infiltrated IRS, courts, prosecutors, DAs, judges, and other public offices in the past. They destroyed files on their org, and copied sensitive information. They also are big on sweeping background checks on enemies, including critics in the press and media, so they can improve and target smear campaigns. From the videos on the link above and specifically those below, it's easy to see that they fully intend to seize controls of the reins of power by infiltrating governments and taking over government programs, and worse, that this is not mere megalomania, but that they are aggressively succeeding in doing so.

Scientology with the pope?
GOING GLOBAL 2005 "IAS sponsored crusade to reach into governments around the globe and indoctrinate them about us" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orv6jpEn5hY http://www.Takeoverworld.info/vid/Scientology_global_2005.flv 20M (needs standalone Flash Video player) http://www.Takeoverworld.info/vid/Scientology_global_2005.avi 18M (may need Divx codec) http://www.Takeoverworld.info/vid/Scientology_global_2005.wmv 16M (needs Windows, or Windows extension for Macs or Linux) Tom Cruise has already visited the United States Dept of Education and got programs implemented by leaders (see Tom Cruise awards video part 2 on Break for News or YouTube), visited the State Dept, and their techniques are being infiltrated into prisons, city services, drug rehab programs, and other public institutions. They moved into the City of London financial district, with great hoopla from politicians and police about "partnerships". Charles Manson was (informally?) treated by a Scientology in prison, and went off on his own path but there are strong indications he used the techniques. (Some articles say a 'church member' brought Scientology in,
others say it was an inmate holding sessions at which Manson received
150 hours of training in TR. An E-Meter
was found at Spahn Ranch, and some Manson poetry uses church
'lingo'. This sounds like someone doing research on
the specifics.)
The Process Church was formed by two
former Scientologists, and they lived within a
2-block proximity, but apparently at different time periods.
There are questions as to how likely or "tenuous" it was that they met
or merged philosophies.The Esalen Institute that both attended at different times definitely had CIA connections and people onboard. The lawyer who was visited 40 times by Manson cultist and convicted murderer Charles 'Tex' Watson -- who had no money and no known outstanding legal issues -- the lawyer was a leading member of California's Young Republicans. This raises all kinds of unaddressed questions about the Manson case. Was the lawyer also a Scientologist, like Watson and Manson? Totalitarian extremism is obvious from the internal David Miscavige ceremonies and from Tom Cruise talks. L. Ron Hubbard, Jr., who changed his last name to deWolf, did a long interview with Penthouse mag. Joining their side at times, they also have "Christian" ministers who employ or agree with Scientology, or use similar totalitarian methods, or at least see a practical benefit of siding with Scientology as an "abused minority religion". It's a shield against scrutiny. In the current phase, they are recruiting politicians to their cause, which includes use of their hypnosis and abuse-psych methods on prisoners and on people who are caught taking illegal drugs, as well as on children/students. That's the door, the opening, for government grants and for partnerships which are already developing, perhaps via "faith-based initiatives". Given their past patterns and actions, if Scientology fails to get "faith-based" grant money -- which by the way some decent and normal Christian churches oppose the whole practice of government "help" for churches on Constitutional principles -- Scientology will let loose their lawyers to attack, until they too start to receive grants and most of all, LEGITIMACY. All you anti-communists and far right Christians worried about UNESCO and an insidious One World Anti-Christ Religion combined with government? Well this is it. Scientology, even though it is simultaneously "a religion" and "not a religion, but a technology", it IS actively positioning itself to be a new Global Religious or "Spiritual" movement. While Scientology does not formally ask anyone to abandon their religious beliefs, this article on Scientology Soul Hackers Refund and Reparation - Essay: Scientology: Soul Hackers http://www.carolineletkeman.org/writings/soulhackers.html http://www.google.com/search?as_q=scientology+transference or HERE (my mhtml copy) or HERE (PDF w format issues) or at last resort HERE (my borrowed copy w minor edits of emphasis and clarifying obscure terminology) ... explains in more detail how Scientology replaces religion and why it is incompatible with religion, as well as detailing how their Auditing technology works. To the extent that it could be called a religion, the Source is the mind of L. Ron Hubbard and his beliefs --- not God --- and not only religious ideas, but also beliefs in such things as the proper emotional Tone that people are permitted to have, emotional and mental control methods which gradually block an inductee, as he is progressing through the process, from critically evaluating Scientology, and many other things. |
