- Photograph of the non-existant
"Criminon Community Education Center of West Covina" at 1043 South
Glendora Avenue, Suite G., West Covina, California. 91790.
Telephone number 626-856-0562. The fact that this address was a lie has been posted to Internet newsgroups for a long time now and yet Scientology hasn't seen fit to remove it from their list of "Criminon" offices.
- Close up of the actual business
being operated from the West Covina address: Geness Business
Services, accounting and FAX services. Telephone number
626-939-9050.
- Photograph of the "Friends of
NarCONon" at 622 East Villa Street, Pasadena, California. 91101.
Telephone number 800-882-6862, FAX number 626-796-4302, drugfree@earthlink.net The female outside is reading and smoking.
I said, "Pardon me, but I'm looking for 'Friends of NarCONon?'"
She mumbled something that sounded like "Hell" so I said, "I'm sorry, pardon?" She pointed toward her crotch and said, "Ring bell." I stayed confused until Abacus said, "She said to ring the bell" and I noticed that there was a door bell to the left side of the woman. I told the poor woman, "Okay, thank you" and we went back to my Jeep and we drove away.
- A photograph of "Friends of
NarCONon" from across Villa Street. This address is approximately
two or three miles away from the run down criminal enterprise being
operated out of the Pasadena office on Colorado Blvd (see the next
few photographs for images of that office.)
- Here's the back of the
Scientology Pasadena office that is really not much more than a
book store -- an empty and run down book store. The parking garage
looks to be shared with other businesses in the area. It's alleged
that documentation that was inadvertantly thrown out in these trash
bins without being shredded first and was collected by law
enforcement officers who had received a telephone tip some years
back before 1995. Some of that intelligence information has been
presented in the alt.religion.scientology newsgroup from time to
time since then.
- Just down the street from the
Scientology office is this church, notable from the fake brick work
that was added to the structure about 10 years ago.
- This photograph shows a view
looking down Colorado Blvd. which has the Scientology office coming
up shortly on the right, the sidewalk we're walking on.
- Here's the front of the
Scientology book store on Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena, California.
I walked inside to see if I could get someone to either sell or give me a copy of the current conspiracy magazine -- euphemistically named "Freedom Magazine" -- however nobody was in the place. It was completely empty but the door was unlocked. Maybe the one remaining cultist was sitting on the toilet thinking of L. Ron Hubbard.
- Here's a photograph of the
business on the lert of the Scientology business. There's been a
large number of different businesses coming through that little
office but having a very notorious organization next door probably
keeps business away in droves. This hydroponics / coffee house has
water hoses up along their store outside and they actually often
spray a mist of water down on the pedestrians who walk along the
sidewalk for some reason. I wonder what the usually paranoid
Scientologists thought about that.
- Here's a view of the "Criminon
International" office at 11712 Moorark Street, Suite 102, Studio
City, California, 91604. Telephone number 323-962-2404,
criminoninfo@criminon.org The side of the building (which is
apparently owned by a pair of Scientologist brothers) is seen...
it's the two-story structure behind the wall. There's a parking garage under the two office floors. Scientology's "Criminon International" is in one small little office and the last time we visited we found that it was bascally an envelope-stuffing office with boxes of advertisements being stored there. The last time we visited we found garbage and food sitting outside Suit 102's door rotting in the sun. This visit we found out something even more amusing (see next photograph.)
- Yep, Scientology's "Criminon
International" doesn't exist any more. Of course it never really
existed in the first place but now they've given up playing pretend
and this small little run-down office has been cleaned out with
only what looks to be an expensive photocopier left inside. The
last time we were there we found a little hand-written sign outside
that proudly displayed a crudely written "Criminon" on it.
- Here's a photograph of the office
block that Scientology used to run its take "Criminon International"
out of. Some of the garbage that we encountered our last visit has been cleaned up and the place looks a little bit better now.
- Here's a close up of the
building. It used to have the names of the Scientologists who
either owned the building or were trying to get people to rent
out office space hanging outside and I've got those names and
the telephone number for them elsewhere on the Reprogram.NET
web site.
