Co-Founder of EarthLink Is Accused of Investor Fraud
May 2, 2001, Myron Levin, Los Angeles Times
http://articles.latimes.com/2001/may/02/business/fi-58222
Investors are accusing Reed E. Slatkin, a co-founder of the giant
Internet service provider EarthLink Inc., of operating a Ponzi scheme
that may have resulted in the loss of least $35 million of their funds.
Slatkin - a Santa Barbara socialite and venture capitalist - also is
under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for his
financial activities, which allegedly included a day-trading operation
that promised annual returns of up to 60%.

Garofalo gushes over Scientology-linked project
May 2, 2006, Jeannette Walls, Gossip, MSNBC
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12583654
The actress and talk-show host has done two segments on her Air America
radio show "Majority Report," heaping praise on the controversial New
York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project, a program based on the
teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
Although the Detoxification Project has been heralded by some Sept. 11
first responders, it has also been blasted by the chief medical officer
for the New York Fire Department after its validity was questioned by a
number of health-care workers.

YouTube rolls out Scientology double standard
May 2, 2008, Cade Metz, The Register
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/02/youtube_scientology_channel/
And yet Scientology is back on YouTube. This time, it's paying for the
account. It's also paying for ads on the site, looking to drive some
traffic onto its new channel. "Get the facts," the ads say.
YouTube did not respond to requests for comment. But Scientology did.
First, we received a phone call from a woman with an otherworldly
French accent. "This is the Church," she said. "We may be able to
answer your questions. But first we want your email address."

Scientology leader David Miscavige accused of snooping in secret celeb
confessional files
May 2, 2010, Rush & Molloy, NY Daily News

The Church of Scientology is bringing down the hammer on a renegade
member who alleges leader David Miscavige loves to gossip about his
star parishioners.
Former high-ranking member Amy Scobee claims in her just-out book,
"Scientology: Abuse at the Top," that Miscavige and other officials
"snooped" in confidential confessional files - a charge vehemently
denied by the church, whose believers include Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes,
John Travolta, Kelly Preston and Kirstie Alley.

Dianetics: Super Colon Blow For Your Mind
May 2, 2013, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
http://tonyortega.org/2013/05/02/dianetics-super-colon-blow-for-your-mind/
Welcome to our ongoing project, where we blog a 1950 first edition of
Scientology's bible, Dianetics, with the help of ex-Scientologist,
lawyer, and author Vance Woodward. Go here for the first post in the
series.
Vance, we've reached a chapter titled "The Laws of Returning," and it's
at moments like these that we wonder how this book was ever taken
seriously by anyone.
"Let us take an engram which comes from one of Mother's bowel
movements," L. Ron Hubbard writes in this chapter and, come on, what
human being puts those words together in a sentence?

SCIENTOLOGY DENIED: Federal judge finds that Garcia fraud lawsuit can continue
May 2, 2014, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
http://tonyortega.org/2014/05/02/scientology-denied-federal-judge-finds-that-garcia-fraud-lawsuit-can-continue/
Luis and Rocio Garcia Federal District Judge James D. Whittemore today
issued an order denying a motion by Scientology that would have ended
the fraud lawsuit brought last year by former church members Luis and
Rocio Garcia, who say they were scammed for hundreds of thousands of
dollars in donations.
The Garcias were longtime members who had been constantly hit up for
increasing amounts in donations, and they claim they were lied to about
how the money would be used. Today's order allows the Garcias to file
an amended complaint in the lawsuit after dropping three of the five
Scientology corporate entities they originally named in the lawsuit.
The order also lifts a stay in the case, allowing the Garcias to move
forward on discovery, and allowing Judge Whittemore to get back to the
question of whether Scientology can force the case into arbitration.
The Garcia lawsuit had hit a snag when Scientology revealed that three
of the five corporate entities that had been named defendants had
trustees who lived in California, where the Garcias reside. Because the
Garcias had filed the suit in Tampa, Florida, the California residence
of those trustees meant that the suit violated a basic legal concept of
"diversity jurisdiction" - the Garcias had simply filed the suit in the
wrong venue, Scientology argued.

Video Vault: Another dose of L. Ron Hubbard wisdom you aren't supposed to see
May 2, 2014, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
http://tonyortega.org/2014/05/02/video-vault-another-dose-of-l-ron-hubbard-wisdom-you-arent-supposed-to-see/
We have another "quote video" that normally you can only see inside a
Scientology "org." In this case, it's an excerpt that is used to entice
church members to fork over $125 for a set of lectures that L. Ron
Hubbard gave in Johannesburg in 1961.
The South African Anatomy Congress is described this way by Bridge
Publications...
"Immediately following the Anatomy of the Human Mind Congress in
Washington, DC, L. Ron Hubbard flew to Johannesburg. There, he
delivered the same Congress, but this time tailored specifically for
South Africans. In this unique event, he demonstrates the Anatomy of
the Human Mind Course to a capacity Congress - the largest ever -
literally demonstrating the rock-solid simplicities of Scientology and
how to teach them to others: the time track, start-change-stop, the
cycle-of-action, valences, the nature of aberration and much more."

More testimony that Scientology's celebrities know all about Sea Org
deprivations

We like to keep an eye on litigation involving the Church of
Scientology, so we were interested to see the news yesterday that a
woman in British Columbia has filed a lawsuit in order to get back
about $86,000 that she says she's owed by the church.
But then we got Lorna Carleton on the phone, and realized that her
story is more interesting than just the money she's trying to get back.
Lorna tells us that she had been living in northern British Columbia
when, in 1988, she moved down to the town of Kelowna on Okanagan Lake
and it was there that she met an OT 3 at a dance club.
