Judge accused by former lawyer for Scientologists
September 20, 1988, Stephen Koff, St. Petersburg Times
http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sptimes/access/51375698.html?dids=51375698:51375698&FMT=FT

A former Church of Scientology lawyer Monday accused a federal judge of
meeting privately with members of her former law firm and assuring them
that if they represented Scientology, she would not remove herself from
important Scientology cases.

The assurances, though highly improper, were important to the church,
the lawyer said. Scientologists thought that if they could keep U.S.
District Judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer, whom they perceived as favorable to
them, and get new lawyers who might have sway with her, they could win
several lawsuits, the lawyer said.

The charge was made in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles by Joseph
Yanny, who said he had witnesses to the meeting. The hearing was not
specifically on Yanny's charges, but related to other matters in a
Scientology suit.

Scientology trial opens in France
September 20, 1999, BBC News
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/452734.stm

Seven members of the Church of Scientology have gone on trial in France
on charges of fraud.

The trial, in the southern city of Marseille, has led to renewed calls
for the banning of Scientology in France, which officially regards it
as a dangerous cult rather than a religion.

The charges against the seven defendants - who are alleged to have
obtained large sums of money from fellow sect-members by fraudulent
means - date back to the late 1980s.

The case opened amid controversy over the disappearance of 50 boxes of
evidence from the Marseille prosecutor's office.

AMID faces gray with grief and grime, theirs are fresh, even smiling.
Among blackened uniforms and sooty equipment, their yellow T-shirts are
bright buoys. They are clean.

At any time, well over 100 volunteer ministers from the Church of
Scientology mill around the remains of the World Trade Center. On the
day of the attack, they took in food to workers. Since then, they have
taken the mind-altering techniques developed by the church's founder, L.
Ron Hubbard.

Hallock's sells city building Business plans to relocate locally

The Church of Scientology bought the 35,000-square-foot building for $1.
5 million.

Carol Yingling, a church minister, said the church plans to move its
Connecticut headquarters into the building. The current headquarters is
in 9,000 square feet of leased space just down the street.

"We are really busting out at the seams," she said. "I'm looking
forward to having a place to hold community meetings."

Yingling said the move will allow the church to potentially quadruple
its staff of 35.

Sure, says Mayor Frank Hibbard. It can be a little unsettling sometimes
-- throngs of Scientologists wandering Clearwater's streets in their
blue or khaki trousers and crisp dress shirts.

Sometimes, it makes the neighbors a bit uneasy. "When you come to
downtown, no one likes being a minority," Mr. Hibbard said.

Lynwood Residents Accuse Willoughby of Malpractice and Misrepresentation
September 20, 2007, Yussuf Simmonds, Los Angeles Sentinel
http://www.lasentinel.net/Lynwood-Residents-Accuse-Willoughby-of-Malpractice-and-Misrepresentation.html

As a result of Willoughby's inadequate legal representation, the recall
process will proceed, and the mayor and city council must now defend
the recall rather than doing the business that they were elected to do.
Council-member Rev. Alfreddie Johnson believed that his service as an
elected official on behalf of the residents of Lynwood would thwart the
recall. He said, "After the recall election is over, we are going to
investigate the appointment of the city attorney. It is the responsible
thing to do; it's good for the citizens of Lynwood and for the city
council."

Scientology Moves In Downtown

The night clubs, shops and lunch spots of downtown Albuquerque are
about to get a new neighbor. The Church of Scientology is in the
process of purchasing the Gizmo's building at 410 Central SE near
Fourth Street, says Gabriel Rivera, a redevelopment planner with City
Planning. "From what I've heard, in other places and other cities,
[Scientologists] usually locate in the Downtown areas," Rivera says.
Local Scientologists confirmed the deal.

4chan launches DDoS against entertainment industry
September 20, 2010, John Leyden, The Register
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/20/4chan_ddos_mpaa_riaa/

"Operation: Payback Is A Bitch" began as an attack against Aiplex - a
controversial Indian firm that works for Bollywood film studios and
carries out DDoS attacks on websites hosting BitTorrent trackers that
fail to respond to takedown notices - before progressing onto other
entertainment industry websites. The attacks were initially coordinated
via a IRC channel, which has since been taken offline.

Inspectors target 19 unsafe South End properties
September 20, 2010, Cara Bayles, Boston Globe
http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/south_end/2010/09/inspectors_target_19_unsafe_so.html

The buildings targeted in the South End run a range from fire safety
concerns to complete dilapidation. The Taj Hotel is listed because it
doesn't have standpipes below the third floor. The Alexandra Hotel at
1769 Washington St., which has already been slated for renovation as
the Church of Scientology's new 45,000 square-foot headquarters, has a
wall that is in danger of collapsing under its own weight, according to
the city's inventory of unsafe properties.

LEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: The daughter of the president of the Church of
Scientology in Australia is speaking out for the first time about past
treatment of children within the church.

In an exclusive interview with Lateline, Scarlett Hanna has described
Scientology as a toxic organisation and says that many of those who've
grown up in the church are damaged.

Scarlett Hanna talks of children being deprived of contact with parents
and communal living conditions where 25 children lived in one unit.

An assault case against former Scientology official Mark "Marty"
Rathbun was rejected by the San Patricio County Attorney's Office
Tuesday, less than four days after Rathbun's arrest.

County Attorney David Aken said his office determined no jury would
convict Rathbun after seeing the way in which the complainant and his
Scientology film crew had been videotaping Rathbun's life for the last
155 days.

A former drug and alcohol addict is suing a Scientology-based clinic
after he jumped off a third-floor balcony and suffered 'severe injuries'.

William Sweeney has accused the Pur Detox clinic in Dana Point,
California, of negligence, medical malpractice and negligent supervision.

He claims that the clinic tried to wean him off his prescribed
medication - which included an anti-psychotic and an anti-opiate - too
quickly, following only a 20-minute interview.

supervision, the Court House News reported.

State of California Sues Movie Producers Over Alleged Ponzi Scheme
September 20, 2012, Alex Ben Block, Hollywood Reporter
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/not-forgotten-lawsuit-ponzi-scheme-paz-vega-372735

The state of California has sued Windsor Pictures, Skyline Pictures and
a group of related financial entities and individuals charging them
with operating a Ponzi scheme and committing fraud in raising more than
$23 million to make and distribute movies.

According to a lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court and
obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, the defendants used the money
raised to pay large commissions, skim money to various interrelated
companies and distribute dividends to investors until that abruptly
stopped in August 2011.

"Defendants specifically targeted unsophisticated senior investors,"
says the suit, filed by the state's corporations commissioner Jan Lynn
Owen. The targets allegedly were invited to "free" seminars where they
were told they would get investment advice and were then offered a "no
risk" investment in movies that would have "high rates of return."

Barbara Walters Slammed for Supporting Scientology's Education System
September 20, 2013, Sami K. Martin, Christian Post

"Without getting into the details of my childhood and the dangers of
Scientology's education system, I will say this. The leader of
Scientology, Tom Cruise's best man, my uncle David Miscavige, is a high
school dropout. What does that say about the value Scientology puts on
education? Is this not what Jaden Smith is advocating?" Jenna asked.

"I don't know what propaganda you have seen or what your celebrity
advocate friends have told you, but it's time to look a little deeper.
If you don't want to know the truth (which I gather is the case from
you saying you 'don't want to talk about Scientology') then please
refrain from praising a system you clearly know nothing about," she
concluded.

Belgium over prosecutors' comments to the media about an ongoing
investigation.

T he European Court of Human Rights has dismissed a complaint from
Scientology against Belgian officials for their comments to the press
on an ongoing investigation into the movement.

ECHR rejects Scientology bid Briefly, Scientology was arguing its right
to a fair trial had been breached by comments made by prosecutors. The
ECHR pointed out that since the trial had not yet taken place, that was
a little premature.

JENNA HILL RESPONDS TO BARBARA WALTERS ON SCIENTOLOGY EDUCATION
September 20, 2013, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
https://tonyortega.org/2013/09/20/jenna-hill-responds-to-barbara-walters-on-scientology-education/

On Tuesday, Barbara Walters once again came to the rescue for
Scientology, this time sticking up for the church's "educational
programs" on The View.

Whoopi Goldberg started the discussion by bringing up Jaden Smith's
infamous tweet, in which the 15-year-old actor encouraged kids to drop
out of school. Jenny McCarthy then brought up Scientology, which the
Smith family has been said to dabble in. At that point, Walters spoke
up, saying, "I'm not going to speak about Scientology in general, but
Scientology has a pretty good educational program. They're not telling
people to drop out."

That surprised Sherri Shepherd, who remembered that the program had
recently had a guest who said just the opposite. "She said they pulled
her out and put her in a camp. What kind of school is that? It's like
it was a hard labor camp. She built the doggone - the huts that they
lived in."

More On The Vulture Culture Revisited
September 20, 2013, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/more-on-the-vulture-culture-revisited/

My apologies for being somewhat out of touch on the blog over the last
little while. I have been attending to some business. I was looking for
something tonight for another reason and came across this post I did on
Marty Rathbun's blog in November 2011. I thought it very relevant to
much that has been said of late and so I am republishing it here for
any who may not have read it back at that time. The use of the term
"POB" in here was understood by the blog readers at the time to be
"Pope on a Box" a reference to the fact that Miscavige uses an "apple
box" to make him appear taller (an apple box is a common film-making
term for a box used for this purpose to raise actors in a scene).

In any event, I thought this might be of interest today as it is just
as valid now as when it was written. Perhaps even more so.

Scientology Indoctrination Abomination
September 20, 2014, Marty Rathbun, Moving On Up a Little Higher
https://markrathbun.wordpress.com/2014/09/19/scientology-indoctrination-abomination/

There is a specific sector of scientology 'technology' that clearly
betrays the subject's hypnotic, mind controlling nature.

That is L. Ron Hubbard's 'False Data Stripping' technology. In short,
Hubbard dictates that one identify the source of any data that is
getting in the road of a person adopting, with 100% certainty and
exclusivity, any datum from scientology's indoctrination. Hubbard has
the practitioner search for the data that conflicts with a datum
Hubbard is attempting to get across. The objective is to eradicate the
earlier datum utterly so that only Hubbard's datum remains unopposed.

First the practitioner and the recipient are indoctrinated to accept
that holding conflicting data of any sort is a sort of aberration or
mental dysfunction. There is no concept of plurality or synthesis when
it comes to understanding in scientology. Please read this from the
Hubbard indoctrination very carefully and try to think with the
consequences of accepting it as Gospel.

SMP News
September 20, 2014, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/smp-news/

OK, here are some tidbits of interest from the Valley OTC meeting,
focusing on the KCET Studios, combined with some information that has
come in from several Special Correspondents.

This facility has now assumed a new acronym - SMP (Scientology Media
Productions). It has fairly recently been integrated into the Int
Liaison Office (a strange move when there has been NO CO ILO on post
for some years, it is reported to be "held" by the CO CMO IXU).

Part of SMP is Mad Hatter Studios - Chick Corea's former recording
studio that was purchased by Dear Leader as his handling for "getting
Chick's finances in order." It was fully renovated and was supposed to
be used for "recordings in LA" that couldn't be done at Int. In truth,
it was simply another unusual solution and it has remained virtually
unutilized since the day it was bought. CCHR has done some Voice Overs
for Public Service Announcements there, and a radio show, Chick has
recorded some stuff, and the Jive Asses (as Dear Leader calls them)
recorded their latest album there. Apart from that, it is a white
elephant. Even the person who was once a Miscavige "golden child"
Chandra Lorentzen - head of Mad Hatter for years and then took over as
head of SMP - is now in disfavor and was busted. Reportedly "COB"
hand-picked her successor - Kelly Heddin, one of the backup
singer/dancers for the Golden Era musicians. Don't get me wrong, Kelly
is a nice woman - at least she was when she was a Non SO dancer/singer
that attended all events where Gold had singers performing (MV, IAS,
New Years, CC Anniversary). And maybe she has done a great deal of
executive training in the last 5 years, but I doubt it based on the
history of anyone studying anything in the Sea Org.

Sneaky Scientology finds another way to get access to high school students

We've said it before: Scientology never gives up. With its public image
at an all-time low, the sneaky organization continues to infiltrate
where it can with the use of its front groups and stealthy operatives.

One of our vigilant tipsters noticed that Scientologists have wormed
their way into an anti-gang conference happening next week at a Los
Angeles high school.

(VIDEO) Critical Q&A #23
September 20, 2015, Chris Shelton, Critical Thinker at Large
https://mncriticalthinking.com/2015/09/20/video-critical-qa-23/

The weekly show where I answer questions from viewers left in the
comments section of my Q&A videos or sent to me by email at
askchri...@gmail.com. This week, the questions I answer are:

(1) I had heard of connections with the beginnings of Scientology and
Dianetics with certain occult practices and that L. Ron Hubbard was
interested in some occult subjects. Given that the internet can be an
unreliable source of information on such topics are you able to shed a
little more light on the matter? Also, thank you for creating content
that is both informative and entertaining.

(2) L. Ron Hubbard said "man is a spiritual being." When you were a
Scientologist what did that mean to you? Do you still believe it? Is it
a testable proposition?

L. Ron Hubbard, would-be conqueror: Scientology's fable about Rhodesia is a
riot

We're grateful to our source who has been supplying us rare looks at
the Maiden Voyage celebration of 2006. As we've said previously, these
videos are exceedingly tough to find, and it has been illuminating to
see David Miscavige lead his "OT Summit" on Scientology's private
cruise ship, the Freewinds, over successive nights that June. And now,
we've save the best for last.

Yes, we have the final night of Maiden Voyage 2006, which featured the
Silver Mullet himself, official church biographer Dan Sherman, telling
a whopper of a tale about L. Ron Hubbard that we hope you find as
enjoyable as we do!

We've marveled at Sherman's skills in the past. His yarns about Hubbard
saving the world against an evil cabal of atomic scientists, presented
at the LRH birthday event of 2012, is still one of our all-time
favorite Scientology event videos ever.

Legal papers: NXIVM officials probed finances of 6 federal judges, Senator
Schumer, others
September 20, 2015, Brendan J. Lyons, Albany Times Union
http://www.timesunion.com/tuplus-local/article/Legal-papers-NXIVM-officials-probed-finances-of-6516856.php

A former close confidant of Keith Raniere, founder of the NXIVM
corporation, claims top officials in the secretive organization used a
Canadian investigative firm or other means to sift the financial
records of six federal judges and U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y.,
according to court records.

The former NXIVM insider, Kristin M. Keeffe, said that Seagrams heiress
Clare W. Bronfman, who oversees NXIVM's operations, ordered the
financial probes at the direction of Raniere, 55. The six judges whose
financial records Keeffe alleges were analyzed have all presided over
cases involving NXIVM or its perceived adversaries and critics.

The allegations by Keeffe, 45, are outlined in emails attributed to her
that were filed recently in Albany County Court in a case involving
Barbara J. Bouchey, a financial adviser and former NXIVM executive
board member charged with hacking into the corporation's computer
system. Bouchey has pleaded not guilty and is fighting the computer
trespass charge, which her attorneys said is baseless.

Six months, 160 lawyers, and a full-page ad in the New York Times
later, Sky Atlantic are finally airing Alex Gibney's controversial
documentary, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief.

The two-hour long film, based on Lawrence Wright's book of the same
name, traces the origins of Scientology all the way back to its
founder, L Ron Hubbard, in the 1950s. Gibney, an Oscar-winning
film-maker who brought us Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of
God, and The Armstrong Lie, interviews eight ex-Scientologists for
Going Clear, including film-maker Paul Haggis, and one-time John
Travolta confidante Spanky Taylor.

Initially aired on HBO in the US in March, Sky Atlantic, which owns
theatrical rights to Going Clear, was expected to air it a day later.
But the film never appeared on its schedule, with the explanation that
an air date had yet to be "confirmed".

David Miscavige quite possibly experienced a major meltdown after

You can always tell how much "entheta" is enturbulating the COB.

Efforts are redoubled to attack perceived threats to his good name and
to flood the internets with "theta" about him.

"Public Enemy #1" at this time is Ron Miscavige. I assume Louis Theroux
and Steve Cannane are soon to move up the rankings. But for the time
being, Ron M retains the top spot and every possible avenue is being
used trying to negate him and destroy his credibility.

EXCLUSIVE: Cat White's marriage to man suing Jim Carrey was a sham to beat
immigration, and was not her first fake wedding
September 20, 2016, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
https://tonyortega.org/2016/09/20/cat-whites-marriage-jim-carrey-mark-burton-sham-immigration-not-first-fake-wedding/

(Burton, White, and Carrey)

A man named Mark Burton filed a wrongful death lawsuit yesterday in Los
Angeles against comedian Jim Carrey, claiming that the actor should be
held liable in last year's apparent suicide of a 30-year-old woman from
Ireland named Cathriona White.

Cat White was Jim Carrey's on-again-off-again Scientologist girlfriend,
and a suicide note she left behind suggested that she killed herself
because she was distraught over Carrey breaking up with her. But she
was also married to Burton, who is accusing Carrey of illegally
obtaining prescription medicines under a fake name in order to supply
them to Cat, who used them to end her life. Carrey has maintained that
the medicines were stolen from him, and he didn't notice they were
missing until it was too late. He expressed great distress at her
death, and attended her funeral in Ireland. But Burton claims in his
lawsuit that Carrey reneged on an agreement to help pay for the
funeral's costs. Burton's attorney, Michael Avenatti, used Twitter
yesterday to claim that Carrey's involvement in his former girlfriend's
death is so suspicious, it warrants a criminal investigation by the Los
Angeles County District Attorney.

DENTON, Texas, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Jason Lee has confirmed that he has
left the Church of Scientology in a new interview about his life since
moving to Denton, Texas.

Lee who had started practicing the religion in the early '90s,
relocated his family including wife Ceren Alkac, their daughter Casper,
8, and son Sonny, 4, in 2015 in order to live a quieter lifestyle.

According to the actor, locally there had been rumors that he was
looking to build a Scientology center in the area.

Jim Carrey calls lawsuit over ex's death 'heartless'
September 20, 2016, Anthony McCartney, CBC News
http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/carrey-wrongful-death-lawsuit-1.3770210

Jim Carrey says a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the estranged husband
of his ex-girlfriend is a heartless attempt to exploit him and vowed to
fight the case.

Mark Burton of Portland sued Carrey in Los Angeles Superior Court on
Monday, accusing the actor of providing the prescription drugs his wife
Cathriona White used to overdose in September 2015. The wrongful death
lawsuit contends Carrey improperly obtained prescriptions for Ambien
and the powerful opioid oxycodone under the alias Arthur King.

The suit accuses Carrey of giving White the medications days before she
was found dead in one of Carrey's homes. White and Carrey dated in 2012
and were photographed together in May 2015.

Jim Carrey Wrongful Death Lawsuit: What's at Stake and Why His Texts to
Cathriona White Could Be 'Very Important'
September 20, 2016, Michael Miller, People

Proving that Jim Carrey is responsible for his late girlfriend's death
is not going to be easy for her estranged husband - but that doesn't
mean he'll come out his wrongful death suit lawsuit empty handed.

Mark Burton, who was legally married to Carrey's late girlfriend
Cathriona White at the time of her death, filed a complaint against the
actor on Monday.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Burton's lawyer Michael Avenatti said he and
Burton are asking for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office to
launch an investigation into White's death. "We look forward to the
facts and evidence relating to Mr. Carrey's conduct and role in the
death of Ms. White coming to light," Avenatti said.

Marty Singer: Cat White asked Jim Carrey to marry her and he turned her down
September 20, 2016, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
https://tonyortega.org/2016/09/20/marty-singer-cat-white-asked-jim-carrey-to-marry-him-and-he-turned-her-down/

We spoke to actor Jim Carrey's attorney Marty Singer today, who told us
he was very interested in our morning story about Mark Burton, the man
who is suing his client over Cathriona White's 2015 suicide.

Burton filed his lawsuit yesterday, claiming that Carrey obtained
prescription medicines under a fake name so he could give them to
White, his on-again-off-again girlfriend who had moved to Los Angeles
from Ireland in 2009. She and Carrey began dating around March 2012 and
broke up for the first time several months later. They had resumed
dating in 2015, before breaking up again that September. On September
28, 2015, Cat White was found dead, having apparently killed herself
with medications that Carrey procured under the name "Arthur King."
Carrey maintains that she took the medicines without his knowledge, and
he didn't notice they were missing until it was too late.

After White's death, L.A. Coroner Ed Winter shocked even Cat's close
friends by revealing that she was married to a man named Mark Burton.
This morning, we reported that Cat told a few close personal friends
that the January 2013 marriage to Burton was a sham that was intended
to fool immigration officials so she could stay in the country. Her
friends say that Cat, who had met a family of Scientologists in Ireland
before emigrating and had become involved in Scientology in Los
Angeles, had asked several of her male Scientology friends if they
would be willing to enter a fake marriage with her. She had even, in
2010, held a fake wedding with a fellow Scientologist in order to get
photos to throw off immigration officials, but had changed her mind
about that match. After her break-up with Carrey in 2012, she
approached Burton, also a Scientologist, and they went to Las Vegas to
get married and told very few of their friends.

The members of Scientology's most elite organization, the Sea
Organization, work 90+ hour weeks. For decades, their pay was $50 per
week and last year was increased to $100 per week. They do get room &
board for free.

I am just going to state the facts here and not going to voice any
other opinion than this: If you encounter anyone in your vicinity that
wants to join an organization like this, have them read this story.

'It's gonna end with concentration camps': Alt-right executive boasts of a

As video Hermansson provided to the New York Times shows, he got one of
the group's highest-ranking members - Alt-Right Corporation board
member Jason Reza Jorjani - to admit his "final solution" for minorities.

"It's gonna end with the expulsion of the majority of the migrants,
including [Muslim] citizens," Jorjani told an undercover Hermansson at
a pub near the Empire State Building in New York City. "It's gonna end
with concentration camps and expulsions and war at the cost of a few
hundred million people."

"We will have a Europe, in 2050, where the bank notes have Adolf
Hitler, Napoleon Bonaparte, Alexander the Great," he continued. "And
Hitler will be seen like that: like Napoleon, like Alexander, not like
some weird monster who is unique in his own category - no, he is just
going to be seen as a great European leader."

Of course Jada Smith was a Scientologist, says principal who ran her

Back in the spring of 2015, your proprietor and Mike Rinder sat down
with Daily Beast writer Marlow Stern as part of the publicity on Alex
Gibney's film, Going Clear. During the interview, Stern said that Will
Smith was a Scientologist, and the two of us both corrected him - it
wasn't true.

That assertion caused a bit of a media storm, but we had really good
sources on this, and we still believe it to this day - while Will Smith
had dabbled in Scientology and had at one time financed a Scientology
"Study Tech" elementary school, by 2015 he was no longer involved in it
at all.

In a piece of our own at that time, we explained that while Will had
only ever been a dabbler, it was his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who was
the real dedicated Scientologist in the family.

Scientology The Aftermath S2 Ep 6: the Aftermath
September 20, 2017, Mike Rinder, Something Can Be Done About It
http://www.mikerindersblog.org/scientology-the-aftermath-s2-ep-6-the-aftermath/

Tonight's episode addressed another subject we get a LOT of questions
about. Celebrities and scientology.

And of course with the controversy over Elisabeth Moss's Emmy win for
her portrayal of the victim of an oppressive system that controls every
aspect of people's lives when she is a scientologist, and then Nicole
Kidman's acknowledgement of the unconditional love from her 2 daughters
with Keith Urban, while not mentioning the two children she adopted
with Tom Cruise, there is heightened interest in the subject.

I must say, because I do not feel we were really able to communicate
this well enough in the show - Paul Haggis is a hero of mine. Not only
because he paved the way for so much that has followed by standing up
and speaking out, not only because he is one of the smartest, kindest,
most articulate and all-around best people I know, but also because he
truly puts his money where his mouth is. He tirelessly works to help
the underprivileged and impoverished. He was working to help children
in Haiti LONG before natural disasters hit the front page and a few
VM's in yellow t-shirts arrived for photo ops. And he continues to work
there today long after the yellow t-shirts have vanished entirely. He
and his foundation built an actual school - they didn't hand out some
booklets or give a few touch assists. And this is just one small part
of the work he does. He isn't presented trophies for this. There is no
video made of his great works like they do with IAS "Freedom Medal"
winners. He does it because he cares. That is what makes him so
admirable in my eyes.

What Is The Sea Org In Scientology?
September 20, 2017, Peter Nyiri, The Sea Organization
https://seaorganization.org/what-is-the-sea-org-in-scientology/

The Sea Organization (many times referred to as Sea Org) is a religious
order in Scientology. It is made up of the most dedicated
Scientologists in the world. When someone joins the Sea Org, they sign
a religious commitment (often referred to as Sea Org contract) for one
billion years. It's called a commitment as it is not a legal contract,
not legally enforceable.

The Sea Organization is a religious order similar to Tibetan monks. It
is not legally incorporated or otherwise organized as a legal entity.
Members of the Sea Org therefore are wholly responsible to the
organization for which they work.

The Sea Org was started in 1967 as the Sea Project and once operated
from a number of ships. It was formally started under its current name
on 12 August 1967. It was started by L. Ron Hubbard to deliver the
highest levels of Scientology Spiritual counseling and to supervise
Church organizations around the world.

Scientology 'disconnection' and the incalculable damage it does to children

This photo shows the day my mom disconnected from me.

My parents literally had a shotgun wedding. My mom was pregnant with my
brother, my dad refused to marry her. My grandmother forced them to
marry, literally, with a shotgun. Yeah, that's Texas for you.

My mom became a Scientologist at the Austin Org in 1969. She had my
brother in early 1970, then she was pregnant with me while she was on
staff there. She had not told me much about this time period, but she
did tell me two things: She always wanted a daughter and had decided
that she would keep having kids until she had a daughter (There is just
my older brother and myself, her two kids), and she also told me that I
made her miss Yvonne Jentzsch's speech (my fault) because she went into
labor with me the night that Yvonne was at the Austin Org speaking.
