Compared to the rest of you, I'm a relative newbie to this long hard struggle to expose Scientology as the destructive cult that it is, so I've got a question:

FLAG claims to have several thousand people on staff or coming for services in Clearwater. Based on that, OSA should be of fairly substantial size...perhaps 10 per cent of the staff? 5 per cent?

Why then do we see the same handful of OSA agents performing ALL the work?

We have Antonio Avila, the ever steadfast Waterson wonderboy, on duty on the white lines all day....every day, come rain or come shine. When we arrive at the LMT, he's the one who films us...he's the same one who follows us through the streets of Clearwater with clam-cam in hand shooting endless footage of the same people doing the same thing over and over and over again.

Then there's Magnus Carlsson, wandering around with his headset on and coming to Antonio's rescue when he's feeling overwhelmed.

We also have the ever dutiful P.K., talking into his cell phone while trying to look like he's actually at cause over the enturbulation that could possibly occur on his watch.

Of course, there's the ever thinning Ben Shaw, albeit more stooped and frazzled looking, skittering along the street...apparently on yet another mission.

Okay...that's four.

We only see Croc and Spence occasionally...depending on whether the SP action gets too overwhelming for the four stalwarts.

I hesitate, at this point, to name Joe Neal O'Reilly, who, in the past, pleasured himself in the shadows by shouting info from PC folders, but I'm sure that poor old Joe has been shipped out of town to avoid prosecution for attacking Bob Minton...so we can't really count him anymore.

The rest of the camera club at Flag is generally comprised of the PI's, the Colton Duo and Steve Bellavigna. Of course, I realize that we have the covert PI's from the Danny Otero school of failed investigators, but that is basically the sum total of their front line defense.

Thus....my question:

If this is their "mecca"...their land base...their largest gathering place with an impressive number of properties, then why do we see only this small handful over and over again?

This same question regarding their OT committee (now I realize that there is no such thing as an OT...but for clam-sham sake...this is their creme de la creme), why do they only turn out the same handful of "foot soldiers" over and over again...in dwindling numbers as a matter of fact. (I say this because four years ago in CW the OT's were attractive, well dressed folks from all around the world--now they're represented by the skanky likes of Mary de Moss with her scraggly gang of misfits--the FaRTs.) Occasionally Mary Story or Pat Jones will come out of hiding to claw at the arm of a reporter or media person who's doing a piece on the LMT, but all in all, the OT Committee is a small tired-looking group of perhaps 20 at best that are trotted out, baggy-eyed for any important court hearings when they need to make a showing.

Not having the verified data on this, I could only guess that they prefer to restrict the number of members/staff that could be exposed to their dirty tricks operations. If this is not the case, then how big is OSA? and what in the past has been the representative number of dirty tricksters in relation to the members at large?

Maybe you folks that have been around awhile can fill me in....

thanks in advance Patricia
