Here's what they said last time,
Germany Special Report
Images of Destruction
"Un-German" art is boycotted while malignant propaganda becomes a tool of alienation
Ticket lines blocked sidewalks outside cinemas all over Germany. There was nothing unusual
about that. After all, the movie was already one of Hollywood's most successful films of
1996 and its German release had been long anticipated.
But a shadow hung over the crowds. Moviegoers found members of the youth union of
Helmut Kohl's political party waiting for them with leaflets and harsh words. "Do not see
this film," was the demand made by the somber young agents.
Nazi-like propaganda
Was it overly violent for the Germans? Too sexually explicit?
(snip)
What made this assault on Mission: Impossible all the more serious of course, is
that this was Germany. Boycotting and banning art there have ugly precedents. In September
1933, the German government passed the Law Regarding Establishment of a Reich Chamber of
Culture. This was the basis for excluding all non-Aryans from exhibiting art, performing
music, creating literature-non-Aryan works literally being termed "degenerate art. "
The uproar that followed the attacks on Cruise-a Scientologist-was made worse by
incendiary remarks by CDU officials at the time, such as MP Johannes Gerster, who remarked
that it was time to "step on the gas" in their intolerance campaign. This was too much
even for many Germans, more than one of whom commented that if this was meant to be a pun
on "gas," only Joseph Goebbels would laugh.
The attacks on Mission: Impossible were a dismal failure. The film was a huge success
with the German people largely ignoring the boycott. The politicians apparently decided
that the mere presence of a Scientology actor wasn't enough to expect the German people to
stay away. The CDU was even more vitriolic over the release of Phenomenon, starring John
Travolta. So, for Phenomenon they added a new twist. Not only was the star a
Scientologist, but his religious beliefs were, they said, subliminally spread through the
movie. The ludicrous "warnings" continued even after the screenwriter proclaimed the idea
absurd since he wrote the story long before meeting Travolta or knowing anything about
Scientology.
Following the Young Union's boycott announcements, the U. S. Department of State
again communicated its disapproval to the German government, but the reaction was far from
limited to the United States.
The Dutch newspaper Volksrant reported that "Dutch politicians have reacted with
aversion to the measurements taken in Germany against the Scientology movement." Christian
Democratic Appeal Party Member of Parliament Mr. Hillen said the German government had
gone too far. "I'm not pleased at all with these actions in Germany," he said.
Mr. M. de Bruyne, a spokesman for another Dutch political party, condemned the
boycott as well as the Bavarian government's announcement that it intended to augment the
CDU's campaign by implementing discriminatory employment policy. "Honestly, it frightened
me. You need to have very strong arguments to exclude people from professions. This is
very radical indeed," he said.
The return of discrimination against artists in Germany because of their religious
beliefs first came to international attention in 1993 when the government of the state of
Baden-Wurttemburg cancelled a state-funded concert performance after finding out that jazz
great Chick Corea is also a Scientologist.
Since then, Corea-whose music is enormously popular in Germany-has been prevented
from performing at a number of concerts and has been the subject of repeated derogatory
media reports.
German artists have also suffered. Painters have had exhibits shut down, and one was
warned by galleries as far away as Finland and Moscow that they had been approached by
German politicians to dissuade them from displaying his works because of his religion.
Attempted boycott of Mission: Impossible Art of the Third Reich
In addition to boycotting works involving Scientology artists, German officials have
also employed propaganda art to spread outrageous falsehoods-not only about Scientology,
but about any other religion deemed "wrong."
In a paper entitled "Art As Propaganda Against Jews and Scientologists: Echoes of the
Past Renewed in Germany," Dr. Stephen C. Feinstein, Jewish authority on European history
and art, writes that current attacks in Germany on minority religions, including
Scientology, are indisputably replays of the attacks on Jews in the 1930s.
Feinstein, chairman of the history department at the University of Wisconsin-River
Falls, says that "many of the attacks and representations of Scientology bear more than a
slight resemblance to the misuse of art during the Third Reich in the anti-Semitic
campaigns against the Jews ". His paper takes note of editorial cartoons from the Nazis'
Der Stürmer in the 1930s whose editor, Julius Streicher, was hanged after being found
guilty in the trials at Nuremberg for his part in fanning the flames of hatred against
Jews. Professor Feinstein then describes editorial cartoons from the 1990s that pillory
Scientology-cartoons nearly identical to Der Stürmer's anti-Semitic defamation of 60 years
ago-and describes them thus:
"The extremely negative and anti-Semitic images of the Jew which appeared in Julius
Streicher's Der Stürmer are well-known. Certain themes which appeared in that Nazi
newspaper and other manifestations of public propaganda art during the Third Reich are
useful to cite, as they seem to have provided some sort of negative memory which has now
been recalled and applied to the attack on Scientology. To be sure, many newspaper
editorial cartoonists often walk a fine line between critique and offensiveness in their
visual representations. . . . In contemporary Germany, the attack on Scientology has a
crusade-like mentality associated with images intended to demonize and destroy, in a way
not clearly delineated. . . . One need not seek a consistent logic or message in this
attempt to demonize. None exists."
The similarity between the cartoons then and now is so striking there can be no doubt
that it is intentional. In Der Stürmer, Jews are depicted as loathsome life forms-bats,
insects, spiders-and their community as an octopus. The modern versions created to depict
Scientologists not only use the same symbols, but in many cases, almost identical scenes.
Then and Now Politicians Advocate Genocide
However reprehensible the role of the media in spreading intolerance, none of the
Nazi-like propaganda art currently distributed in Germany is as virulent and hate-filled
as that produced by members of Chancellor Kohl's Christian Democratic Union.
At a CDU convention in 1993, party Secretary General and Christian theologian Peter
Hintze released a booklet called InSekten-Nein Danke, later distributed throughout
Germany. The title was a play on the word "Sekten"-religious sects. The cover art portrays
members of minority religions as insects to be crushed by a strong hand wielding a fly
swatter. Stickers bearing the same image were available by mail order from party
headquarters in Bonn.
The "art" inside the booklet included images such as a skull and crossbones
surrounded by the words "Scientology," "ugly" and "poison". Those in the CDU responsible
for this creation then took it one step further: The same skull and crossbones image was
used as the cover art for boxes of condoms. The back cover says they are "90% effective"
in "preventing" future Scientologists.
CDU officials today persist in their assertions that there is no evidence of
religious intolerance in Germany. If their own propaganda literature is not enough to put
the lie to such claims, even more blatant evidence can be found in other material which
has been anonymously distributed. A letter sent to the Church of Scientology in Hamburg
purported to be from the "Propaganda Ministry Berlin-SS State Protection Department".
Beneath the Nazi eagle and swastika its authors threaten they will be taking "sizeable
measures" against the Church.
Still, Johannes Gerster and his party associates say there is no evidence of
discrimination.
Then and Now Growing Concern
Among many U. S. Congressmen who have criticized the ongoing discrimination is
Representative Benjamin Gilman, chairman of the Congressional Committee on International
Relations. In a letter requesting the intervention of the U. S. Secretary of State, Gilman
said, "this intolerance seems to have crossed the line into discriminatory action
prohibited by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Helsinki Accord."
Dr. Feinstein notes that "The last great group of alleged 'demons' that were
perceived as a threat to German society, the Jews, wound up being exterminated, along with
millions of their co-religionists in neighboring countries."
Is the comparison justified?
Feinstein points out, "While many critics see such comparisons as either foolish or
obscene, the issue nevertheless persists. The failure of many in Germany, including
officials, to restrain unconstitutional acts against Scientology, has created a hate
campaign with ominous overtones."
Sadly, current events tend to support history-Germany is continuing to require
outside monitoring to ensure that "never again" is more than political rhetoric.

The Hitler Card
Alias: Argumentum ad Nazium
Type: Guilt by Association
Exposition:
In almost every heated debate, one side or the other-often both-plays the "Hitler card",
that is, criticizes their opponent's position by associating it in some way with Adolf
Hitler or the Nazis in general. No one wants to be associated with Nazism because it has
been so thoroughly discredited in both theory and practise, and Hitler of course was its
most famous exponent. So, linking an idea with Hitler or Nazism has become a common form
of argument ascribing guilt by association.
Some instances of the Hitler card are factually incorrect, or even ludicrous, in ascribing
ideas to Hitler or other Nazis that they did not hold. However, from a logical point of
view, even if Hitler or other Nazis did accept an idea, this historical fact alone is
insufficient to discredit it.
The Hitler Card is often combined with other fallacies, for instance, a weak analogy
between an opponent and Hitler, or between the opposition political group and the Nazis. A
related form of fallacious analogy is that which compares an opposition's actions with the
Holocaust. This is a form of the ad Nazium fallacy because it casts the opposition in the
role of Nazi. Not only do such arguments assign guilt by association, but the analogy used
to link the opposition's actions with the Holocaust may be superficial or
question-begging.

anything around there-a hat. They talk to them, you know. "What'sa mattuh wi' you hat?"
They imbue them with personality.

MEST stands for Matter, Energy, Space, and Time. In the above context, it can be likened
to mud or solids or non-awareness. As one moves up in spirituality, Scientology style, one
moves further and further from MEST, or rather, from the effects of MEST. One becomes able
to shape and control MEST by will power alone. But our sorry Negro here is so far down the
ladder of spirituality that he personifies MEST. The insult does not end there. Picture
some guy taking his hat off his head, holding it in front of his face, and talking to it.
He actually thinks that the hat can give him attention.

Other generalities are effective in appealing to special groups. The farmers have been
heartened to endure the poor return from their toil by a whole magnificat, written on the
theme of Blut und Boden (blood and soil). They are told that they are of the "glorious
peasant state," and each householder is given the honored title of Bauer. (The translation
of this word, "peasant" or "farmer," does not convey the same connotation which the
original does to National Socialist Germany, where the meaning is more that of a "creative
builder.")
"Strength through Joy"(17) is designed to employ all of the laborer's leisure activities
and to see that in these his "spirit" is coördinated with the "common" good. This makes it
possible to check the way he spends his leisure hours and to prevent his developing and
expressing opposition to the régime
Such words as "labor" and "sacrifice" are given additional "virtue" by ceremonials and
dramatic awards.(15)
The régime utilizes the word "science" to sanction practices, policies, beliefs, and races
which it wants approved.

The Rehabilitation Project Force
44. In 1973, Hubbard introduced the "Rehabilitation Project Force" ("RPF")
(JCA-96). Disobedient Sea Org members have been assigned to the RPF from that
time. The RPF replaced the "Rehabilitation Unit" (JCA-96) of which Hubbard said
"The unit is worked hard during the day on a rigorous schedule...". This unit
had replaced the "Mud Box Brigade" - "persons appointed to clean mud boxes,
fuel lines, water lines, bilges, etc." (JCA-97). Few of the internal memoranda
which apply to the RPF are publicly available. All are relevant to litigation,
as they show the true character of Scientology and the inhuman pressures
brought to bear upon Sea Org members. The designations for RPF material are
"Executive Directive 965 Flag 'RPF Reinstated'" and all additions and "Flag
Order 3434" and all additions (there are at least 56 memoranda in this series,
numbered FO 3434-1 to FO 3434-56).
The RPF is virtually a labour and thought reform camp.
Members are forbidden communication with any but their "bosun"
(the head of the RPF); they have to comply immediately with
any order; they sleep even shorter hours than other staff; they
eat even poorer food than other staff (often rice, beans and
porridge for weeks. For some time in Florida, "RPFers" were
fed left-over food) (JCA-98); they sleep in "pig's berthing",
i.e. without beds (JCA-99, JCA-100); they do hard labour and
menial tasks, including toilet and sewer cleaning; they are
rarely permitted time off; they receive one quarter of the already
derisory pay of other staff (JCA-101); and they have to write
down detailed "confessions", which may be published by the organization
(JCA-102, JCA-103). Finally, an RPF sentence is open-ended and
may last for as much as four years. Failure to comply leads
to posting to the "RPFers RPF", which according to witnesses
has consisted of false imprisonment. False imprisonment or "isolation"
is a part of the "technology" of Scientology (JCA-104, JCA-105).
There are hundreds of former members who suffered the RPF.
Isolation watches
46. While aboard ship during the early 1970s, Hubbard introduced
"isolation watches" where an individual is forcibly confined
after a "psychotic break" (a mental breakdown, usually caused
by Scientology's hypnotic procedures). Such people can be held
for weeks under 24-hour guard (JCA-104, JCA-105). The procedure
is referred to as "babywatching" or "babysitting" in Scientology.
In 1994, The Independent newspaper in Britain published an account
of "babywatching" (JCA-106). HCO Ethics Order 2543 of 28 September
1993, concerning Heidi Degro, makes it clear that the practice
is still in use (JCA-105). Indeed, the practice forms a part
of Scientology's incontrovertible "scripture" (JCA-104).

Attempted boycott of Mission: Impossible Art of the Third Reich
In addition to boycotting works involving Scientology artists, German officials have
also employed propaganda art to spread outrageous falsehoods-not only about Scientology...
In a paper entitled "Art As Propaganda Against Jews and Scientologists: Echoes of the
Past Renewed in Germany," Dr. Stephen C. Feinstein,
http://www.freedommag.org/english/spegerm/page27a.htm Jewish authority on European history
and art, writes that current attacks in Germany on minority religions, including
Scientology, are indisputably replays of the attacks on Jews in the 1930s.
Feinstein, chairman of the history department at the University of Wisconsin-River
Falls, says that "many of the attacks and representations of Scientology bear more than a
slight resemblance to the misuse of art during the Third Reich in the anti-Semitic
campaigns against the Jews ". His paper...describes them thus:
"The extremely negative and anti-Semitic images of the Jew which appeared in Julius

newspaper and other manifestations of public propaganda art during the Third Reich are
useful to cite, as they seem to have provided some sort of negative memory which has now
been recalled and applied to the attack on Scientology.
=====
Author David Irving (from the IHR) says something different about the quotes of from the
Mission Impossible persecution Freedom Magazine article author, Mr. Feinstein -
http://www.fpp.co.uk/online/99/05/Schoenfeld070599.html
Finally, Mr. Feinstein alludes to the pamphlet he wrote "for" the Scientologists. There
are a number of very troubling aspects about this publication and the circumstances under
which it came to be written that Mr. Feinstein neglects to share with readers.
For one thing, Mr. Feinstein asserts that he wrote the pamphlet in the service of "human
rights," but he says not a word about how he came in the first place to make the Church of
Scientology his cause, an organization that Time magazine has called a "cult of greed and
power" and "a ruthless global scam." Whether one agrees with Time's characterization or
not, surely there were many other more pressing human-rights concerns that might have
engaged his interest in 1996, the year he wrote his pamphlet?
The mystery of Mr. Feinstein's involvement in this strange cause is not hard to solve. As
he has admitted to the Forward, he was paid to write the pamphlet by the Scientologists
themselves. The Scientologists are known for being both extremely wealthy and extremely
generous to those who consent to serve their purposes. Mr. Feinstein has thus far declined
to reveal exactly what compensation he received but other such cases involved sums in
excess of $10,000.
What is particularly unsettling is that Mr. Feinstein's pamphlet appeared while the
Scientologists were in the midst of an aggressive crusade against the German government,
which they incessantly likened to Adolph Hitler's Third Reich. As can be seen from the
title of Mr. Feinstein's publication, "Art as Propaganda Against Jews and Scientologists
in Germany: Echoes of the Past Reverberate in the Present," it fully joins in the spirit
of the Scientology propaganda effort. The essay is replete with analogies likening the
"victimization" of Scientologists in Germany today to the Nazi war against the Jews.
Mr. Feinstein is being disingenuous when he states that the U.S. State Department has
expressed concerns about Germany's treatment of the Scientologists. He fails to inform
readers of a crucial fact: the State Department has unequivocally condemned the very same
Scientology campaign in which he has taken such an active part.
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, for example, has said that "comparisons between
what happened under Nazism and what is happening now [to Scientologists] are historically
inaccurate and totally distasteful." In 1996, the year Mr. Feinstein's pamphlet came out,
the State Department's official spokesman declared that the analogies are "outrageous" and
"wildly inaccurate" and that "we in the U.S. Government feel a responsibility to defend
the German Government from those charges."
The State Department is hardly alone in this stance. Leaders of major Jewish organizations
like Abraham Foxman, president of the Anti-Defamation League, have also spoken out. Foxman
has called the analogies "an affront to the Jewish community." Ignatz Bubis, the leader of
Germany's Jewish community, has characterized the Scientologists' campaign as "a smear
against the memory of the victims of national-socialism."
While I do not believe, as Mr. Feinstein incorrectly imputes to me, that all parallels
between the Holocaust and other instances of genocide are ipso facto out of bounds, the
analogies he has drawn between the Scientologists and Hitler's victims are an insult to
the memory of the Jews of Europe who were driven from their homes and murdered in
concentration camps. For a professor of Holocaust studies to indulge in such comparisons
is bad enough. That it was done for money and in the service of a dangerous cult makes it
a far more serious transgression.

US-Senatorin Dianne Feinstein an Bundespräsident Herzog
(picture of 1994 letter) http://fakten.hatewatch.freedommag.org/paged25a.htm
Mitte 1994 schrieb die amerikanische Senatorin Dianne Feinstein an den
Bundespräsidenten Roman Herzog:
"... Sowohl die Steuerbehörde (IRS) der Vereinigten Staaten als auch
die Gerichte haben festgestellt, daß Scientology eine Religion ist und
deshalb alle Rechte und jeden Schutz verdient, die derartigen Vereinigungen
nach dem Gesetz und internationalen Menschenrechtskonventionen zustehen. ...
Eine kürzliche Studie über die Verletzungen der Menschenrechte, die von der
Kommission für Sicherheit und Zusammenarbeit in Europa (KSZE) veröffentlicht
wurde, klagt über Schikanen in Form von Kündigungen, Ausschlüssen aus
politischen Parteien und diskriminierendem Verhalten von Bundes- und
Landesbehörden, die allein auf der Zugehörigkeit zu Scientology beruhen.
..."
Maybe it 's because they use a letter that Senator Diane Feinstein sent
about $cientology's persecution about the same time all the activity in
Germany was going on.
$cientology places the Feinstein's in a position of disagreement based on
the comments made by Madeleine Albright and the State Department about the
hideous claims that $cientology is persecuted as back to the Hitler days.
All of this because of Mission Impossible, losing money and status in
Germany. Or is that what $cientology celebrities are for, to keep a business
parading as a religion, using movie companies to leverage Xenu, and calling
everyone Nazi's who realizes it is a business game?
Barbara's right ?..... so does that make the State Dept. and Madeleine
Albright a Nazi?
