To the Sea Org Kids
barbz
Can you recall a time when you were denied, even though it wasn't your
fault? Perhaps right now, you are happy enough to be roaming around,
away from the control of the Sea Org. But, you know you'll have to
return in a while.
Perhaps you know people who were thrown into the RPF. While you're out
and about, what are they doing right now?
Have you ever been prevented from going to berthing at night because
some task wasn't completed?
Have you ever been punished by being fed nothing but rice and beans?
Have you ever been denied the ability to visit with your family, or
prevented from spending holidays with them?
That's life in the Sea Org, isn't it! Perhaps you're resigned to it;
after all, you signed a lot of documents when you joined, agreeing to
place your life and your youth in the hands of CSI. Perhaps you feel
trapped and hopeless that your life will ever get any better. Well,
guess what!
SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT!
Marc Headley was an executive at Golden Era Productions in Riverside
County. Located on 400 acres, this compound is surrounded by fences with
security spikes on the inside; clearly not meant to keep people out.
There, people are subjected to the same harsh treatment you've doubtless
seen in LA. It's even worse, though. There is literally nowhere to run,
it's out in the desert, miles from civilization.
Marc Headley made his run to escape on a dirt bike. He was run off the
road by security guards, rescued by police, and given an escort into
town to prevent him being recaptured by the guards.
Marc's wife, Claire, was coerced into having two abortions while in the
Sea Org. Maybe you know of someone that suffered the same thing. The Sea
Org does not want its members having kids.
Laura DeCrescenzo joined the Sea Org at age 12. This child worked long
hours, received little schooling, and her youth was spent working to
make money for Scientology. She was coerced into having an abortion at
age 16.
These people have something in common. They all worked long hours for
far less than minimum wage. They received no health insurance, and their
medical problems, if treated, were provided by public clinics and paid
for by taxpayers. They endured privation, abuse, and their every move
was controlled. They were completely dependent upon Scientology for
food, medical care and lodging. And Scientology failed them.
These people have one more thing in common. They left the Sea Org and
their lives of toil and abuse at slave wages, and they are suing.
They are suing for compensation for their years of hard work at well
under minimum wage.
They are suing for emotional distress, as well as the children they
might have had, aborted at the direction of Sea Org policy.
The papers you signed when you joined are not legal agreements. You
should be made aware of that. Those agreements which violate your civil
rights are unenforceable.You cannot be made to sign those rights away.
Those documents you signed will not hold up in court.
Perhaps you were told that, because you're a "religious worker," CSI
doesn't have to pay you minimum wage, and that your room and board
counts as part of your compensation. This is false. The courts have
determined in past cases that minimum wage must be paid, regardless of
the "religious" nature of the work. Slavery is illegal. Religions are
not exempt from labor laws. Any written agreements that violate these
laws are void. Okay? They are not legally binding!
YOU DID NOT SIGN YOUR RIGHTS AWAY WHEN YOU JOINED THE SEA ORG!
You may have been told that you're a volunteer. However, Scientology's
own websites refers to Sea Org members as "employees." As such, they
have certain rights which may not be waived, given up, or ignored.
You should also be aware that documents signed under duress, that is,
under threat, are not legally binding.
People who join the Sea Org at a young age may find that, when they
leave, they have nothing. No education, no savings, no idea where to go
from there. The threat of "flipping burgers" is held as an example of
what life may hold outside the Sea Org and Scientology.
Yet, people who work in fast food restaurants work eight hour days. They
have days off that are truly theirs. They receive health insurance. They
are not subjected to punishment and abuse. They are not sec-checked.
Many people work these jobs to pay for college.
Marc and Claire Headley, Laura DeCrescenzo have one more thing in common.
They are suing CSI for compensation. Slave wages, abuse, forced
abortions are illegal in this country. You simply cannot subject people
to this kind of totalitarian control, but Scientology has been getting
away with it for years.
If you're tired of living this way, you can leave. Just walk away and
don't look back. The exit process is designed to break you down and
convince you to stay. You don't have to route out. The contracts you
signed are not binding.
Marc Headley escaped on a motorcycle. Laura DeCrescenzo swallowed
bleach. You can just walk away. There are people on the outside who are
ready and willing to help.
Should you make the decision to leave, you can do that right now. Put
down the mouse and get to a phone. Call 1-866-XSEAORG. It is a toll-free
call. There is an ex-Sea Org member at the other end of the line,
someone who knows what you've been through.
Then call attorney Barry Van Sickle, who is handling these cases for the
Headleys and DeCrescenzo. His number is (916) 549-8784.
You don't have to work your life away so that David Miscavige can have
his thousand dollar suits and Ducati motorcycles. While you slave, he
lives in luxury. You know that is true. He is saving the planet, one
expensive luxury at a time, while you go without medical care and live
under horrible conditions.
It is time for CSI to pay back its loyal workers for the privation and
abuses they've suffered. These three people are only the beginning of a
flood of lawsuits.
Right now, Tommy Davis is visiting ex-Sea Org members, trying to get
them to sign statements declaring that they were volunteers. He is doing
this at DM's instruction; it is a desperate attempt to cover their asses
for years of truly horrendous treatment suffered by members who worked
hard in the belief that they were saving the planet.
You have the right to receive minimum wage for your labor. You have the
right to see your family, get married, have children. Nobody can take
that away from you, but you can give up these rights if you're not aware
of them. You have the right to a decent education, decent food, time
off. You have the right to work an eight hour day, and enough time for
sleep and personal business. You have the right to call your family and
receive mail without being monitored.
In a world where your every move is controlled and directed, you have
the right to make one decision. Walk away. You can leave, and there are
people who will help you find a place to stay and help you return to
normal society. With all its flaws, it isn't as bad as you've been told.
It's certainly better than what you endure now. You know those scary
masked protesters? If you were to run up to them and tell them you want
to leave, they will help you and protect you from the Sea Org personnel
who will try to force your return.
We don't wear masks to scare you. We wear masks to protect ourselves
from Scientology retribution. If we were the monsters Scientology claims
we are, why would we spend our free time fighting for your rights?

.Fair Game is a LIE.
Anonymous members frequently cite "Fair Game" as the reason for
wearing those ridiculous masks. This term refers to the Church of
Scientology's alleged tactics for handling their critics. However,
despite what the critics of the Church profess to believe about "Fair
Game," it never actually happens. Without exception, all instances of
the Church's supposedly litigious nature can in fact be demonstrated
to have been provoked by the very radical extremists themselves.
Being sued by the Church is a badge of honor among these hateful and
deceitful activists. In fact, there is NOTHING the Church is reputed
to do to their critics which Anonymous hasn't already done to many
random and not so random individuals (Do a Google search of Hatch
Mckay and Anonymous and see what turns up).
Anonymous is a hypocritical hate group. Members do exactly the types
of things they claim the Church does. This is a demonstrable fact, as
all non-Anonymous readers of this blog can attest. The true reason
they hide behind their masks is because they don't want to be
connected to hate crimes, cyber-bullying, and child porn.
Here's a recent thread at one of their sites where members are
discussing the fact that "Fair Game" doesn't ever really happen:
http://forums.whyweprotest.net/303-whats-all-about/what-risks-43803/
Another salient fact: thousands of Anonymous members live in places
where masked protests are not permitted. Combine this with the dozens
of anti-Scientology authors, prominent critics, and various un-
anonymous Internet activists, such as Donald "The Angry Gay Pope"
Mires and, to any thinking person anyway, there is no reason to
believe that there is any danger whatsoever in being a religious bigot
with a gripe against Scientology. T
hat is, if one is committed to legal and ethical behavior.

Great advise, Barb. Every child scientologist should have the facts
and know their options.
I would add that anyone can visit http://www.exscientologykids.com ,a
place by & for kids of all ages who have been effected by scientology
during their youth.

If any children are reading this please read the following from:
http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/anti-religious-extremists/barbara-graham/
"Barbz" is Barbara Graham - a bad person and no Chaplain.
Here are a few paragraphs from the above link.
Anti-Religious Extremists / Barbara Graham
Conflict with the Law
Participant in Anti-Scientology Activities
Participant in Threats Against the Church with Keith Henson
Barbara Graham
Barbara Graham (a.k.a. Barb Warr) has never been a member of the Church of
Scientology and has had no family members in the Church. She has never
attended a Church service nor has she had any other connection to the
Church, yet she vehemently attacks Scientology at every opportunity.
In a June 1999 posting, she described herself as a "Vietnam-era veteran."
And in yet another posting in 1999 she gave us insight into her viewpoint
concerning religion with her statement "There is no god."
During a chat session on the Internet with other Scientology critics Graham
claimed to once have worked for the National Security Agency.
She has been in close communication with anti-Scientologists such as David
Rice, whom she has picketed alongside on several occasions, Englishman
Roland Rashleigh-Berry, whom she met and picketed with on a business trip to
London, and known anarchist and Holocaust revisionist Arnie Lerma.

Looks like some kids must be reading this. The Scieno trolls are
getting antsy. Gregory Hall even changed the subject line and repeated
that tired old RFW spew.
