Only got one side of show could occassionaly hear or recall the questions Station has been trashing Battlefield Earth all week. Somebody sent DJ my website with 200 bad reviews WKLS FM http://www.98rock.com Atlanta Georgia 9 AM 3,500,000 listeners Larry and Eric - DJs DJ: asks about them being sued for segment Arnie: Your best chance will be to get a fax from Scientologist Attorney Kenrick Moxon, on of the unindicted co-conspirators in the criminal case US vs Mary Sue Hubbard in 1982. he does a lot of their dirty work. Ahm he the chief Scientology Psychlo , yeah, I was the financial manager for what is now Bridge Publications that prints all of Hubbard's books.
Oh... I was convinced that Scientology had access to the Secrets of the universe.
Uh, I couldnt agree with you more. Ahm I uh, well, Suzette Hubbard was Hubbards daughter we met in New york City and decided to elope. We ended up getting a marriage license and blood tests.
absolutely.. That's a hell of a question.. Well they managed to pry out of Suzette that were waiting the 48 hours that is demanded under florida law, when you get your blood tests and marriage license before you get mairried, and i got taken in an interrogated for a considerable length of time, and I dont recall the exact details, this was a while a go.
Battlefield Earth is only 2 hours of madness, Scientology ebcomes your lifetime.
I met chick corea.
"They sent me up to get money out of Chick Corea" "Chick Corea's music, in my opinion, was much better before he got into Scientology"Question about Tom cruise. One of DJ s starts whispering: "He's gay" He's gay" "He's gay"
Well, I don't know that for a fact . however I have had people tell me that onboard the Flagship Apollo, where Hubbard was years ago, at dinner time, that they used to openly joke about that.
DJ: asks about keeping lists of these secrets.
Well I'm sure theres a list in Scientology"
"Well it doesnt really matter what your problem is"
"They do a little a little drill to get people involved, and the drill is called, its got an esoteric name inside the organization, but I assure you this is an actual published routine, they will talk to you for a while and find out what is 'ruining' your life. What you think is really messing you up.
When you first touch base with these people they will find out what really concerns you about yourself, um stage fright, or [ unintelligibel ] or perhaps you've got some terrible desease, you've got cancer, you've got aids, it doesn't matter. whatever they find out that you think is messing up your life they will then say this phrase:
"Scientology can help you with" then they insert the thing THAT..
Basically, ahh, it's a psychological Terrorist group, I dont know that they've bumped anyone off, recently.
Yes, certainly, well they promise to solve whatver you think your problem is., it doesnt matter.
"They retain more lawyers than any other non profit in the United states" when I first went public they sent a couple of their goons around to try to get me to sign an affidavit, made up of lies, which then could have been held up to discredit everything I said.
Being on the receiving end of 1.7 million dollars of litigation there were times I thought I was dead...
You need to remeber, you guys are really lucky, noadays there is the internet, when I got in, I was 16, 1967 Hubbard was presented to me as being a Nuclear Physicist, allright? Now who am I to question a nuclear physicist? I find out 20 years later that he took one semester at George Washington university, he got a D and he never graduated?
"Oh no, no, people.. I mean, I've got, my friends are being followed I've had friends set up with bogus charges, they tried to get me a couple times, I had the FBI Anti-Terrorist task force come to my house last August, after they got an "ANONYMOUS REPORT" that I was going to "Black Out" the internet.
Yeah right. I mean, you understand, if you goto my website at lermanet.com I've got a thing called" The Liberty tree" story, I consider the internet to be the last bastion of freedom .
"Ohh, It compares the net to the first crossroads back in the 18th century"
"There is a tree at the crossroads, before radio stations, you want to let your neighbors know what is going on, you'd write a messege on a piece of paper and nail it to the tree for all to see"
"well that is how it started"
"Yes, well, that was the internet of the 18th century"
"The local tree, thats where "the Liberty Trees" came from.
"I call the internet the Liberty tree of the Millenium"
"Oh, I dont know if they are going to try to handle you..
they've been sort of in retreat lately."
However...
DJ: asks about Protests in Atlanta:
"Uh, June 3rd there is a, a, demonstartion down in front of their place at 1611 Mt VeErnon Road down in Dunwoodie, starting at 11 AM, These are local critics that are down in Atlanta, that have been picketing them routinely.
"they are protesting Scientology's LIES and the death of a lady named Lisa McPherson.
"She was basically guilty of wanting to leave scientology"
"Well no, it's a the subject of a criminal complaint, I mean its turning into a trial and huge civil lawsuit for wrongful death and for practicing medicine without a license"
"Well they are saying "its an accident" but this girl was held in a room for 17 days and during this time she lost 45 lbs.."
DJ: "Oh my God"
"yeah it was pretty ugly"
"she had a blood clot and it moved to the worng place, but she was dehydrated"
"absolutely"
"it looks like they are going to at least get nailed for practicing medicine without a license"
"and wrongful death under a staute for neglect of a disabled person"
"she was trying to get out before the picked her up and held her for 17 days"
"well i dont know about that"
"but they do have a lot of fun down there picketing that scientology place in Atlanta"
Well you are pretty lucky.., well ah yes, they dress up like Sailors"
"Well Hubbard fancied himself some sort of Navy War Hero, ahm, but my State Senator in virginia helped us get a copy of his actual navy record, 600 pages, said UNFIT TO COMMAND.."
"He was a fraud"
"yes sir"
"Well John Atack wrote a book "A Piece of Blue Sky, thats what he was referring to, "lets sell them a piece of blue sky"..
"Scientology's secret tenets say "That there was no Christ"
You can hear that on the website.
DJ : Thats not going to go over very well down here in Atlanta"
"laugh"
LERMANET spells out: L E R M A N E T DOT COM and we have 216 Bad reviews of Battlefield Earth Oh they are hysterical.
I think so too DJ: Asks about whether Battlefield earth has hurt $cientology...
I mean look, If its motivated you folks to take pot shots at them, I mean Hubbard being described as a "crack pot", that hasn't happenned in 20 years.
DJ: don't let their goons get to you arnie: Well its you guys in the media that will keep the goons from my door, thank you so much, take care.
-END- Run Time: 15 Minutes emails received after show:
Hi Arnie, I didn't know anything about Scientology until today when I heard you on the Regular Guys show on 96 rock in Atlanta. I'm now very glad that I did not see that Battlefield Earth movie. Thanks for speaking out, it may save my child and many others. Have a great day.
I'd prefer to die speaking my mind than live fearing to speak.
The only thing that always works in scientology are its lawyers The internet is the liberty tree of the 90's http://www.lermanet.com - mentioned 4 January 2000 in The Washington Post's - 'Reliable Source' column re "Scientologist with no HEAD"
