John Sweeney, Marty Rathbun, Mike Rinder vs sad CoS stalkers
Android Cat
Nice to see John Sweeney, at least. The "noisy investigation" is rather lame
this time. Did CoS/Davey really think those clowns were up to the task of
John Sweeney/BBC and the former heads of Scientology's inquisition and dirty
tricks departments?

I am at lost to understand what this was suppose to accomplish. With
hindsight of the last coverage from BBC's Panorama, this is what CoS
came up with?!
Oh wait, my mistake, I shouldn't use "hindsight" and "CoS" in the same
sentence.

GO/OSA operates using three-ring binder tech. All the procedures and steps
on the pages are to be carried out to the letter, and those pages haven't
been altered since Operation Snow White (and that was only to add CYA
boilerplate of "Break no laws" to the top of the pages).

makes them look like the paranoid nutballs they are -- but they
probably have a certain fear about the BBC taking things out of
context, or juxtaposing statements in way so as to make them look
[more] foolish. If they have their own footage of the interview, they
can have proof of what was actually said. They think that their
filming may keep the BBC in line.
Of course, it ends up being a footbullet, because the BBC reporter
will mention how freaky Scientology stalks and films them wherever
they go, and to the viewer, this looks really peculiar. I can't even
remember a 60 minutes interview, where they mentioned that the
corporation, person, or group they were interviewing/filming, was also
filming them.
As you said, it is also a form of their noisy investigation, just to
harass. It is a huge distraction to a journalist to be followed
around, and harder for the crew to have to maneuver about this OTHER
CREW taking footage with their camera(s).
In that way, it is kind of a diversion tactic for Scientology. It
makes the journalist one of the subjects of the piece, and distracts
the viewer from issues about the Church.
Scientology would probably prefer the BBC piece get mired in shots of
film crew, or even Sweeney's annoyance with being followed, rather
than having a sharp focus on the MAIN story of two top level ex-
executives, including one who admits that a few years back he was
dutifully lying that Miscavige never struck him, because that's what
Scilons do, they lie, to protect the Church.
One thing you can see from this video, Sweeney is going to lock
himself into a very low-key mode and not lose his temper. Hope he
doesn't do that for the whole interview, he'll sound like a zombie
himself. I prefer Australia's Bryan Seymour. I've read where some
people find him very annoying, but his manner and tone is just right
for dealing with Scientology.
Thinking back to an old Mike Wallace interview. He seemed exasperated
asking them about their priestly collars, like he'd never encountered
anything that was such an obvious farce, and didn't know quite know
how to deal with it.
The BBC piece is going to be good, but you can bet Scientology will
try to provoke Sweeney into something to make the show about him. In
that way, people who don't know much about Scientology might think it
is Sweeney who is being unprofessional, not realizing what we all
know, that Scientology can drive you out of your mind with their
games. They don't answer questions. They lie and divert attention to
protect the Church. It is boring to the viewer to listen to Tommy say
his practiced lines over and over, to a point the average viewer might
forget the question and the issues!
Still, the BBC is all too aware of this, and I'm sure they are going
to do a good job, with the material they have. That's probably why
they are taking so long with it.

You got that right. They follow LRH, and LRH said harass, and he
said don't break the law, and they are looking for dirt to smear
people they think will hurt them.
