Ground Zero Zeroes

- L. Ron Hubbard
Scientology is behind Narconon - a costly yet dubious drug rehabilitation
program. The trademark “Narconon” sounds suspiciously like the effective,
altruistic self-help group Narcotics Anonymous. Insidious? It gets worse.
Several years ago, Scientology vexatiously sued the Cult Awareness Network
(CAN) out of existence, taking control of their name, records, real estate, and
clearinghouse hot-line number for concerned families and friends of those
caught up in dangerous cults. Call CAN, get a Scientologist on the line.
Didn’t think it could get any darker? Think again.
In the worrisome wake of the World Trade Center disaster, Scientology has been
hiding in plain view behind the truth. 1-800-THE TRUTH, that is. Only hours
after the terrorist attack, that toll-free number was publicized on Fox News as
a crisis hot-line for an outfit called National Mental Health Assistance, or,
NMHA - a gross usurp of the initialization of the esteemed organization, the
National Mental Health Association.
Just days after the WTC disaster, a phone call to THE TRUTH caught a chirpy guy
claiming his outfit was part of the official disaster relief effort working
with the Red Cross - a false claim. He then offered directions to a Times
Square address for assistance. Not once did this drone offer up his Scientology
affiliation, but a stop at the 46th Street location he pitched found dozens of
yellow t-shirted “volunteer ministers” buzzing around Scientology
headquarters, unpacking boxes of cult propaganda for immediate dissemination to
the masses of shell-shocked Manhattanites. There, at Scientology central, the
culties try to recruit dazed passerby into helping them pass out copies of a
Hubbard-penned common sense clap-trap pamphlet titled The Way to Happiness and
other printed material.
In the resulting days since 9-11, ardently anti-psychiatry Scientology has been
shamelessly Internet-webbing photos of their volunteers giving “touch
assists” to hapless disaster victims. They claim that this process relieves
trauma, eases pain and even mends broken bones, but the National Mental Health
Association - the country's oldest and largest nonprofit organization
addressing all aspects of mental health and mental illness - ain’t having any
of it. In a press release issued on September 17, they object to
Scientology’s deceptive use of the initials “NMHA,” strongly urging them
to stay out of mental health - especially during “this important and
sensitive time.” Scientology spokeswoman Janet Weiland calls the real
NMHA’s reaction a “petty turf war.”
At a barricade just two blocks from the WTC attack site, a ghastly pair of
black-clad, loud-mouthed women try to crash the police line, announcing
“We’re from the Church of Scientology!” Flashbacks to the Battlefield
Earth premiere for sure, but this was a disaster of far more epic proportions,
and an army reservist named Ramirez wasn’t buying their pushiness. He held
them at the checkpoint until they displayed their “grief counselor” badges,
then reluctantly let them pass. “I didn’t want to let them in, but they
had passes,” shrugged the soldier who was hip to, yet handcuffed by the
Scientology bait ‘n switch.

The number is 1-800-FOR-TRUTH, or to be more accurate, 1-800-FORT-RUT.

of some of their brothers in this criminal scam. While the photos were
accessible it was easy to see that a number of Sigma Pi brothers had been
routed into the meating teaching "touch assist" method. Since one of the
essential aspects of fraternity life these days is community service, it
becomes quite relevant to fraternity management. Perhaps those kids were
from NYU, but there were certainly more than 1 or 2 there.
