LOTS OF MONEY, LIES, CRIMES, JAIL, BLOOD - AND THE IAS
--------------------------------------------------------
Reported from the view of somebody who had believed in the IAS.
WHAT IS A SCIENTOLOGIST ?
"A Scientologist is someone who is always broke" ... that's not just
a joke ! About 80 % of all Scientologists who go to Flag ( the
'World's
Top Organisation' in Florida ) didn't make it there without the help
of
bank loans - that's what Flag Registrar Kitty says.
WHAT IS THE IAS ?
IAS means International Association of Scientologists. It was founded
in 1984 when the Cof$ ran out of money to handle legal and other
emergencies. It is an outright method to take even more money from
Scientologists - whether totally broke or not so broke.
The IAS brags with good deeds, like bringing Hubbard's study
technology
to third world nations. These actions are often financed by the IAS.
But the IAS does not publish the use of all collected money. It's
very likely that donations to the IAS are also used for legal or
investigative or other purposes, maybe even to send spam mail !
WHERE IS THE IAS ?
It's nowhere !
The locations and accounts of the IAS are not made public. This means
that you cannot transfer money to an IAS account - because the
account
number is secret ! You may only pay cash, by cheque or by credit card
!
The IAS has data files about each Scientologist who donated money.
If you want to know how much you donated a IAS personnell calls
a secret phone number ( where the IAS office is ). They call back
back and answer your question.
Mail from the IAS ( account statement, magazine ) gets sent from
Hungry, Maroc, Curacao or other countries with very low postage fees.
This mail has the adress of a mail handling company on it, but never
the adress of the IAS.
Please note the similarities of the IAS and criminal money laundering
organisations ; all operate multinationally, use secret accounts and
hidden offices.
WHAT IS AN IAS REGISTRAR ?
That's someone who gets broke Scientologists to donate money to the
IAS.
In other words, he's a magician ; he could drink out of an empty
glass,
for sure !
Sometimes IAS registrars lecture to groups of Scientologists. More
often they take individual Scientologists into an 'interview', that is
a kind of sales talk in a separate room. You may not leave when you
want to, but only when the IAS registrar is finished with you.
WHICH TRICKS DOES AN IAS REGISTRAR USE TO GET MONEY ?
Anything which gives you emotional stress to make you pay !
Like saying that planet Earth is close to succumbing ( and he'll
show you writings by Hubbard which seem to prove this ). And you are
the one who can prevent that - but only if you pay right now !
You ask : "But how could my money save the world, I have got only
1.000 $
( or 10.000 $ or whatever ) ?" And he says : "Yeah sure ! That could
make the difference between a succumbing world and a saved world !"
And you think : "Jesus, if I don't pay the world might succumb -
and it would be my fault ! No, I don't want to be blamed for that !".
And you try to figure how you could borrow some more money to save
planet Earth ...
Or you may find the IAS registrar begging you and inducing sympathy in
you to make you pay.
A few years ago they had a great gimmick. The IAS promised to abolish
psychiatry all over the world within that very year ! "But we can
make
that only if you donate lots of money - remember, this is the last
time
we will ask you for money !" ( no kidding, they really said that !!!
).
And you think : "Well, there are many abuses in psychiatry, we have to
save all those poor souls in there ... and it's only one more big
donation ... ok, let's take another loan, it's for something good
..".
Yes, many Scientologists with really huge debts managed to borrow even
more money. They didn't want to be blamed that they didn't help to
abolish psychiatry. They would have felt guilty if they hadn't paid.
So they rather got themselves into heavy debts for years or decades.
But psychiatry was not abolished then, nor at a later time. It is
true that Scientologists were involved in closing a few dozens of
psychiatric clinics ( most in the USA and in Italy ). And that was
it.
Psychiatry continues, and so do the IAS registrars with their greed
for more money. Right now the IAS plans to abolish psychiatry
worldwide
until the year 2000 ... what's your bet, will they make it ?
A recent gimmick is to collect money for the fight against the 'evil'
German government. They are evil because they are against
Scientology.
This gimmick works well on many Scientologists. It works better on
Germans because they feel suppressed by their government. But for
some
reason it works best on American Scientologists who also are patriots.
And many more tricks. Such methods of collecting donations are
drilled carefully until the IAS registrar knows them all by heart
and can 'handle' every objection you might voice or think of.
Note that the IAS registrar may talk to you like that for hours !
DOES THE IAS REGISTRAR TAKE CARE OF SCIENTOLOGISTS ?
Nope. Scientologists want to do expensive courses and auditing. And
often the results of courses and auditing are not exactly what the
Scientologist had hoped for, or what he had been promised by church
staff.
In other words : there are MANY Scientologists who are not fully
satisfied with their auditing and courses ! ALMOST ALWAYS they think
:
"ok, this course / auditing step was not what I had hoped for, but Ron
gave us so many courses / auditing steps ... Well, I have to do the
next
course / auditing step to be better off".
When the IAS registrar wants money the Scientologist might say :
"Look, I have to save money to pay for my next auditing ; because I
don't feel so well after the last auditing ... I need the money to
complete this auditing ... I'm not so well off now ..."
And the IAS registrar shouts : "Nonsense ! You are thinking of
your first dynamic only !" ( That means : "you are thinking about
yourself only !" and "you are selfish !" ).
The IAS registrar continues : "You need to break through on the
third dynamic !" ( That means : "you have to do something of
magnitude
for others !" ). "After that your courses / auditing will work much
better !"
It should be noted that Hubbard never mentioned this. Hubbard said
that it is the first duty of every Scientologist to do all courses and
all auditing. But this is just one example showing that the Cof$ puts
making money even above Hubbard's writings.
WHAT ARE THE SUCCESSES OF AN IAS REGISTRAR ?
If you have agreed to give a major donation, the registrar contacts
you very frequently until he got your money. Your money is his
success ; his senior's oppinion depends just on the amount of
money he took from you and other Scientologists.
WHAT WILL YOU GET FROM YOUR IAS REGISTRAR ?
If you donate a significant amount you get rewarded a certain
status including a certificate and a pin or a medal ; this
increases your social status amongst Scientologists ( the names
of those who have donated a lot are being published regularly
in an IAS magazine ).
If you have donated a lot of money ( for example 40.000 $ to attain
the 'Patron' status ) you get lots of attention and admiration,
and maybe a hug and a kiss ( just on your cheek, of course ! ) if
the IAS registrar is female.
If you gave just a minor donation ( like 100 $ ) or were not
expected to give money you get no particular attention.
If you failed to donate the expected amount you get frowned at.
The IAS registrar may blame you for the bad conditions the world is in
( remember, you didn't donate to help save the world ! ), or he might
even shout at you. This gets much worse when two IAS registrars
work on you at the same time. They sit in front of you and tell each
other what a lousy bum you are - if you can't stand that, you'd
better pay !
So if you want a few minutes of admiration and need an IAS registrar
to confirm that you are a fantastic guy - like "this planet needs
more people like you !!" and a pat on your back - then go ahead and
donate 40.000 $ ...
The IAS promises special fast treatment in Scientoloy Organisations
after you donated 40.000 $ and thus became a 'Patron'. It is true
that all your auditing folders get a label saying "IAS Patron -
priority service". But this is just a gimmick, too ! Your auditing
folders are handled at the same speed as if you had donated nothing.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE-EFFECTS OF AN IAS REGISTRAR ?
IAS registrars like people who earn a lot of money. They call and
visit big earners more often because they can take more money of them.
In 1990 IAS registrar Bertie van Hoecke used to visit an East German
company ; it belonged to Scientologists Foullier and Heilig. They
made
very large donations again and again.
Bertie van Hoecke was liked by his senior, and Foullier and Heilig
were
treated like V.I.P.s when they were at Flag ; however these happy
times
did not last forever.
Foullier and Heilig had failed to set aside money to pay their taxes !
They were not able to pay huge tax bills, and Heilig went to jail for
a few years ( I don't know what happened to Foullier ).
Foullier, Heilig and van Hoecke were SP declared - it did not
matter that they had donated millions to the IAS !
DOES THE IAS REFUND MONEY ?
No, never. They never claim they do. They wouldn't do so even if
they could save a good Scientologist's life with a partial refund.
German Scientologist Willems owned a steel company. He went to Flag
and spent there more than 100.000 $ for auditing ( including Clear
and L12 ).
IAS registrars did not fail to work heavily on him ( you have read
about their tactics ; maybe they used this one on Willems : "Now
you are Clear and did L12 ; you will be able to multiply your
income when you are back home ! You've got this big potential now !
The Church has helped you so much - now it's your duty to help the
IAS in return !" ).
Unfortunately, Willems didn't wait for his return home to see how his
business would expand. He donated 1.000.000 to the IAS right away.
But after he returned his company did poorly as did all steel
companies
at that time. Willems had paid the million without earning it in
the first place ! Soon problems got more and more serious as Willems
was not able to earn the money he had spent so carelessly. His
company
headed towards bankruptcy.
Willems asked the IAS to return the money to him, or at least a part,
even as a loan, to enable him to handle his difficulties. But the IAS
didn't help him and required him to handle his problems on his own.
One morning Willems took a walk in a park - and shot himself.
After this tragedy Flag sent a Class XII auditor to Germany to
'handle' the situation. But there was nothing to handle - Willems
was dead and his girl friend didn't want any more contact to the Cof$.
DOES THE WRITER BELIEVE IN WEIRD RUMOURS ABOUT THE IAS ?
No. The writer of this text has been through all above experiences
himself, or has at least observed it with his own eyes ; a few
informations have been reported and comfirmed by several
Scientologists.
Be aware that there will have been many more similar occurrences which
the writer did not know of.
DOES THE IAS TAKE ALL THEY CAN GET HOLD OFF ?
Read the above and make up your own mind.

Wrong. Scientology paid up two million $ right in the court room!
I assume that they were scared that the two would speak up if they'd
stand too long in jail.

Yes this is true. He did R2-45. But it wasn't so simple. He started to
introduce scientology methods in the company, and forced his employees
into it. After a few years his company was indeed bankrupt. The IAS
donation was just one of many factors.
