Earlier, I posted some things about some of my experiences in the Sea Org (about how I was held prisoner for months because I wanted to leave). It didn't take long for OSA to find out who I was and start their inevitable campaign. I was in the Sea org for 10 years, most of that time was at Gold (Golden Era Producations, the Int base). I have a LOT of sensitive, incriminating top security information, that OSA would not want spread around at all. So for me now to not be a Scientologist and actually speaking out about my experiences within their cult is very dangerous for them. It's sad to say that after I left the SO, I got a job at a firm owned and run by Scientologists due to the fact that at the time I still considered myself to be a Scientologist but was mainly upset with its management. I am currently looking for another job. (Any ideas? I'm a very hard worker?) Anyway, a few days ago, my boss pulled me aside and explained to me that someone informed him that I was posting thigs against Scientology on ars and he wanted to know if this was true or not. In response, for fear of losing my job, I told him that it wasn't me and must be someone else. He seemed baffled because he said that the person who told him this said it had to be me. I asked him who said this to him and right then, Kirsten (external Security Chief, OSA Int) walked into the room. She sat down at the table and showed me the postings and had me read them. I still said that it wasn't me as my boss was sitting there too (understand that at the time I really didn't know how to react to this). Kirsten told me that to verify this, I needed to go with her and get this verified on the meter. My boss agreed with her and told me that I was covered at work so I could go do this. (note:
this falls under religion in the workplace as well as the fact that it's against the law to have an employee take a lie detector test, which is exactly what this was to be). I left the building with Kirsten and she told me to meet her at a specific location (within the Church). When I got in my car and pulled out, Kirten and someone else who was driving stayed right behind me the entire time. If I switched lanes, they switched lanes. If I sped up, they sped up - you get the picture. This is when I started to get a bit nervous. I was being followed. (note that I was supposed to MEET them there). I pulled into a gas station to see if they were really following me or not and sure enough, they pulled into the gas station and Kirsten said that the meeting location has changed. They waited for me to leave and then stayed right behind me. I drove into Hollywood and decided to lose them. I did manage to lose them there but it doesn't end there. I decided to go home where I called a friend of mine and told her what just happened. She told me that I should probably go to her place for the night just in case OSA had any further plans. I thought this was a good idea. When I left, as soon as I got in front of my place of residence, I heard a car engine start and wheels screech, and there it was, the car that was following me. Sure enough, I looked in the passenger side and there was Kirsten. The car stopped right in front of me and I ran. They chased me down my street and it literally turned into a cat and mouse chase - in my own neighborhood! I called my friend from my cell phone and told her what was going on. She immediately called the police and told them what was happening. I think this may have scared off OSA because after that call, they disappeared and I was able to get to my car. (I believe that OSA scans police radios, I know that Security at Gold does, so possibly, they heard the police call on this). The police arrived promptly and asked if I was alright and helped me leave safely. The next day Kirsten shows up at my work to speak to me. I decided to speak with her for a few minutes and I told her the following: that I am NOT a Scientologist and yes, I did write those postings. She said that she was fine with that and that all she wanted to do was show me some documents (Dead Agent Materials). She said we could meet anywhere I wanted to do this. I agreed to this and met her at a restaurant the next evening. She showed me some documents and then told me that she wanted me to meet with me again the next day to show me more. I agreed to this and we met during my lunch break the next day to see these other documents. (note: at the time I really wasn't sure how to respond to this, I really didn't want to rock the boat). She now wants me to meet with an OT so he can DA any OT data I may have. (also know that after each meeting, she keeps saying that we only need to meet one more time, and that there's only one more thing she needs to show me, this is obviously a lie and I guarantee there's an entire program written up to "handle me"). Well, finally I met with someone who went through very similar scenarios with OSA and I've wised up. My meetings with OSA are over. I really don't care what they do at this point. I'm not interested. I don't care if I get declared an SP either because I really have nothing to lose; if I lose my job over this, it will be a big win... I already have a paper trail and an attorney who's watching this very carefully and has advised me that I already have a case.
I'll wear that declare as a badge of honor! BUT, I doubt that OSA would want to declare me over this. If they did, things could really get really hairy for them. I'm sure OSA and RTC alike would rather me just keep quiet about the things I know, knowing that I will continue to speak out on the Internet and other media if the harassment continues. This is only the tip of the iceburg on what I have on them.
Hey RTC, remember the Int Data Base Mission? I was on that one... I
know more than you think I know. Here's where I stand: you leave me
alone and let me just live my life in peace and I'll leave you alone -
live and let live. If you continue to harass me, I have no fear of
taking this all the way to the end. Deal? Anyway, I'll keep you all
posted on this and announce any further harassment from OSA or
Scientology. Wish me luck!
However, from what I've heard in the legal community, they have already commited suicide via stupidity and ignorance of the law. The word is that an up-and-coming attorney is trying to make a name for himself by instigating a class action lawsuit against COS for the false imprisonment of it's Org members, who are reportedly under guard 24 hours a day (and apparently there is an additional prison camp, which has the false imprisonment, and MUCH MORE). From your post, it looks as if you have been party to/a victim of this. If you are interested in joining the suit, email me and I will have him contact you. You are right, I don't think they want to anger you further. You are protected under the laws of the US, which COS seems to think they are above under the guise of "religious practice". They are not.
Now then, how come you respond to yourself, as if you were someone else,
but still posts with the same from address, as well as from the same IP
address?
Do I smell a smell? :-)
Geeze, this is getting ridicolous. Is this really the best the trolls
can do nowadays?

Luckily, I checked into this after I noticed it... here's what I found, taken from the ARS FAQ page:http://www.modemac.com/cos/cos6.html here is the passage that explains the dirty tricks "certain people"
have been known to do, in detail.
"During certain times, the amount of forged garbage flooding on alt.religion.scientology vastly increased, to the point where the newsgroup seemed practically unreadable. Any single genuine message was overwhelmed by dozens of forged messages containing the same Author: and Subject: header. If a user of the newsgroup posted a single message with a subject such as "What is Scientology?," by the next day he would find that there were literally dozens of junk messages in the same thread, forged under his own name..."
Gee, who could have done this????
Nice try.... very clever.
V (the REAL one).
LOL Still, was nice to reprise all the DMA lawsuit stuff, which could assist any real people with real employer's that are scn's, to realise that they do have rights.
So fake or no fake, another operation footbullet by whomever decided this was a good idea.
