Face it Stephen, the DVD does nothing other than show that scientology
manipulate what it can to supply an 'apparency' through its deception.
Do you see Tommy laying down a foundation of diminished capacity
should Sweeney say 'cult' "one more time" at the event?
Do you see Tommy at Sweeneys hotel acknowledge that they had been
spying on Sweeney and went to the lengths as to find out what hotal
Sweeney and crew were staying in?
Did you see how your church articulated footage of Sweeney talking to
the Celebritologists?
How about the cert'd OT's lying about Xenu the Galactic Overload being
a core belief of scientology.
You are like a battered wife Stephen, you need to kick your abuser to

Be careful with this. Some players can switch regions 5 times. After
that is gets stuck at the last region. You don't want that to be the

Most standalone players can be made region free. So they can play all.

Well, I thought you wanted to laugh at the garbage and perhaps make a
deconstructive post about it. Of course, the smear piece is available
online anyway.
However, don't think you prevented anyone from seeing it by ordering a
free copy. It's pretty cheap to burn as many DVDs as they want,
especially considering the slave labor factor. The postage to send
them probably costs more. Figure not much more than a buck per copy
overall, maybe $1.50 for international shipment.
However, it is pretty stupid that they screwed themselves with the
useless regional coding. I only hope that act of idiocy doesn't land
some poor zombie in the RPF.
Hartley Patterson
Just to clear this up:
North America is region 1, Europe/Japan/Middle East region 2.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=502554
The DVD is either region 2 or more likely 'region 0', ie not region
encoded and will play anywhere. That is normal for non-commercial DVDs.
It is possible they have made some region 1 copies for distribution in
North America, and you have accidentally been sent one of those.

What is the difference between "Sweeney's preconcieved notion" as
opposed to a scientologists "preconcieved notion"?
The difference being, Sweeney's 'determinism' isnt bound by the

Yes.. rewrite the firmware. Easily done and most players will have region
free firmware along with instruction available soon after the players
release. Google your player's make and model along with "region free
firmware" should do the trick.
Then DVD s from all regions play with no hassle...

Not to mention SECAM, the French variant of PAL designed to limit what
French citizens could receive on their TVs just in case.... That was
sort of like regional DVD encoding in its day.
However, it didn't work. Where there's a will, there's a way around

You bring an interesting point. But who had the better video footage?
A lot of what Sweeney did was staged. Some of it didn't make the final
cut, but still... filming himself coming out of that building 3-4
times... hmmm.... something doesn't seem right there. What do you
think?
-Steve
Alert
How do you define "who had the better footage"? I think the "better
footage" is the footage that is complete and obviously not
articulated. Take for examle the footage uploaded initially to youtube
of Sweeney yelling. The lead up of Davis yelling was omitted, whereas,
the BBC showed both Davis spewing and Sweeny counter-spewing. You dont
find it a little odd that when Sweeney showed up to the event and
Tommy appeared and stated "I hope someone is recording this" (words to
the effect) that he didnt know his own people were there with cameras?
Come on Stephen, no matter what side of the fence one is on, its
blatantly obvious that Tommy is a puppet on a string. Scientology
helped him 'be' *that*
> A lot of what Sweeney did was staged.
Define 'staged' Stephen.
> Some of it didn't make the final
> cut,
Im sure BBC could make a mini series with all the footage they didnt
have time to use. 30 minutes is a short report. How much of the
factual and unarticulated footage made it to the DVD? The interviews
with the Celebritologists did nothing but show that the DVD was a
purely fabricated piece to 'dead agent' and 'black PR' Panorama.
> but still... filming himself coming out of that building 3-4

I 'think' you are only focussing on a singular event trying to make
the requisite self justifications to excuse scientology as a whole. Im
not a film maker or what not, but even I know that retakes arent
abnormal. You havent commented on the specifics I mentioned intitially
Stephen, so I'll try again and expand a little
What so you about the subtitles that the DVD show that arent the words
Sweeney used when he was asking Shawn about his 'criminal record'?
What say you about the DVD not showing the entirety of the footage
with Tommy and Sweeney at the CCHR exhibit?
What say you about Tommy warning of a diminished capacity at the event
if Sweeney used the word 'cult' "one more time"
What say you about the cert'd Celebrity OT's lying about Xenu the
Galactic overlord?
What say you about Tommy acknowledging that Sweeney had been spied on
and arriving at Sweeneys hotel even though Davis/scientology had gone
to lengths to find out what hotel Panorama was staying at?
What say you about the blatant lies that Panorama staged a picket in
London, when in fact the pickets in London were verified as not being
orchestrated by Panorama or Sweeney.
What say you about the 'terrorist threats' that were so familiar and
similar to 'operation freakout' details?

You are referring to the craftlily edited DVD Stephen. The only 're-
takes' I recall from the DVD are the ones where Sweeney walks up to a
back door and knocking and his wal kin and outs at an Org. You are
making the assumption that it was all about deception. It may well
have to do with sound or what was inadvertently in the camera shots.
Who knows?
Let's be honest here Stephen, this is more than ample 'proof' (how
convenient that hubbard labelled 'proof' as a level of aberration'?)
in hubbards lectures/writings of him stating in a technical bulliten
that:
"We now know more about psychiatry than psychiatrists. We can
brainwash
faster than the Russians (20 secs to total amnesia against three years
to
slightly confused loyalty.)"
Hubbard also states in PDC lecture # 20 :
" This universe has long been looking for new ways to make slaves.
Well, we've got some new ways to make slaves here. Let's see that none
are made.
Now it's fortunate that we are able to make Clears as fast as we can
make them. It's very, very fortunate. Because black Dianetics, as most
destructive things work in this universe, could work a lot faster than
the old-time techniques - work really fast. Nowadays - get this - you
can use creative processing; the process of using mock-ups will flip
out a PDH without ever touching it or addressing it. Isn't that
fascinating. You can knock a PDH to pieces with fifteen minutes of
processing. And it takes longer than that to put one in."
There is so much more Stephen. Stuff like:
"The mechanism of brainwashing which I gave you, with supercold
mechanisms and so forth, is very well known, was used very extensively
in the Maw Confederation of the Sixty-third Galaxy. They had a total
psychiatric control of all of their officers and executives, and when
they got tired of them they used this specific method of
brainwashing."(Power of Simplicity tapes)
Where is the best place to hide something Stephen?
Right before ones very own eyes and ears.
"But if Freedom has no anatomy, then please explain how one is going
to attain to something which cannot be fully explained. If anyone
talks about a "road to Freedom" he is talking about a linear line.
This, then, must have boundaries. If there are boundaries there is no
freedom."
Dianetics 55
Trapped
What is the difference between a 'road to freedom' and a 'bridge to
total freedom' Stephen?
"Scientology is a religious philosophy in its highest meaning as it
brings man to Total Freedom."
L. Ron Hubbard
Religious Philosophy and Religious Practice
21 June 1960
What does Hubbard say about 'total freedom'?
"An endless freedom from is a perfect trap, a fear of all things ...
Fixed on too many barriers, man yearns to be free. But launched into
total freedom<br> he is purposeless and miserable."

Scuzzi? Im addressing you singularly, so why portray me as a
collective? Whining about people calling you names isnt a good idea.
You either ignore them or you give what you get. Ive been called so
many names over the last year or so of being on the Internet, but it
doesnt detract from the fact that scientology is in fact a
brainwashing cult. The word 'brainwashing' may not be the best
reference to use, but it does fit the assuming of hubbards own
lunacies as ones own 'determinism' and hubbards book on psychopolitics
has deemed scientology/dianetics as 'brainwashing' by hubbards own
words.

Don't forget the helium-like voice shifts, which one only notices at first.
Ah, PAL. Beloved in, um, two countries on the planet?

Yep.... what system for each country to send down the TV-Out cable. It
would have to match the TV set for each country.. systems vary.
D/PAL for North Korea, B/PAL Thailand, K1/PAL Guinea etc.

And long since retired. It did result in the oddity that for years TV sets
and later VCRs sold in Belgium had to be special bi-standard PAL/SECAM
models, since people in the French-speaking parts of the country wanted to
be able to watch French TV too, but the Belgian TV broadcasts were all in
PAL. I've been reliably told that when cable TV came along in Belgium, the
conversion method initially used to put French channels on cable was to
have a PAL video camera aimed at the screen of a SECAM television set. That
was much cheaper than buying a proper conversion box. And who cared that
all the people on screen seemed to wear green, or purple, or orange pancake
(the hues depending on weather conditions along the Franco-Belgian border),
and that everything was permanently blurry?
SECAM was also used by some Eastern Bloc countries. I seem to recall East
Germany used it, to try and prevent people from watching West German TV.
