International politics and scientology - now in ex-USSR with Introvigne etc
roger gonnet
That's a presentation of the speakers invited to this meeting [see below]
about what some US congressmen call "religious tolerance".
Some were already present while meeting in april the President Alain Vivien
of the French Interministerial Mission to Combat Cults:
-Jeremy T Gunn - USIP (US institute of peace)
-David Little USIP
-Karen Lord, CSCE staff (US Congress)
Was also present then M. Parmly US Embassyn, for the meeting with Alain
Vivien
M. Gunn is well known as someone holding very displaced speeches against
France in september 99 in OSCE. French Embassy has protested already.
Reiterating, M. Gunn - despite the fact he's no longer a member of the US
delegation, has still used inflamatory speeches against France and french
positions, lying overtly before the US congress during its 14th june 2000
hearing. This was presided by M. Gilman, already known for his declarations
favouring the scientology cult, and already a signatory of the letter
adressed to Lord Russell Johnston, president of the EU assembly before the
EU council. That letter tried to get rid of the discussions about the EU
resolution 1412 presented by the EU deputy Nastase against cults illegal
behaviours.
M. Seiple, Embassador for the USA, has given a far more subtle/nuanced
declaration before the same US congress committee's hearings.
David Little looks to be completely scientology-acquired, as he has signed
many "open letters" to the french president or prime Minister in newspapers,
in France or in USA.
He would now be a member of a "religious group", having therefore now a
lesser position in this group of apologists.
Karen Lord has always been since a member of the CSCE staff, has spoken
before the BIDDH in Vienna, and has always had a defending line favouring
any "religious" group. She's also a friend of Massimo Introvigne. Massimo
Introvigne has insisted a lot of times in writing to know why the french
mission had supposed that she was a member of a cult -specifically, of
scientology; it looks that it was a desinformation having been overtaken
trhoughy different channels. Both will speak into ex-USSR countries to
penetrate the idea there of accepting any "religion". Neither Introvigne nor
Lord has ever said a word criticizing any criminal cult. Part of these
meetings are to be done in Lettonia, and will attack France positions
against criminal cults.
The meeting on july 13th in Lettonia should be under the presidence of John
Graz, a swiss journalist and activist writing from time to time in
"Conscience et Liberté", a magazine of evangelist inspiration. He's a
pro-cultic activist. His organization:

Bruce Casino, Herbert Jentzsch, and probably Joseph Grieboski are
scientologists. Jentzsch is the president of scientology international, and
is under arrest from spanish justice.

WELLSPRING OF FREEDOM
A PROGRAM OF THE INSTITUTE ON RELIGION AND PUBLIC POLICY (IRPP)
Invites you to a discussion of
The State vs. Religion in France:
New Legislation Threatens Religious Liberty in France
A new, "anti-sect" bill passed by the French National Assembly represents
the
latest effort of extremists in France to pass repressive legislation
designed
to infringe upon the rights of religious believers and to restrict the
growth
of 173 "blacklisted" groups, including Southern Baptists, Jesuits,
Seventh-day Adventists, Scientologists, Mormons and Unificationists, by
manufacturing a means to ban disfavored religions from France. According to
the bill, it "intends to provide individuals and the public authorities
alike
with new causes of action to allow them to paralyze the activities of cult
organizations and render them harmless." While such language denotes a
desire to protect the lives and interests of the French people, in reality
this law limits and restricts the rights of all French people to practice
their beliefs as they wish. There is a great deal of interest and concern
over these recent initiatives in the French Parliament, as measures against
any religious or faith community in a free society will effect the lives of
countless believers, not only in France, but around the world.
