(Better read it from html version ont: http://home.worldnet.fr/clearwater99.htm) CLEARWATER UNDER SIEGE, 1999 On december 3d to 5th, 1999, I went to meet friends to Clearwater, Florida, a city under siege since a quarter of a century. The friends: a large part of them used to participate to the siege of the city, directly or undirectly, because they were then the assailants, teh scientologists. They were, like I had been, members of the sinister cult of $cientology, best described under those words: The Criminal Cult. Others were city or US citizens, or human rights defenders from USA or elsewhere - as far as Australia, who had been scandalized by the criminal cult behaviour, either toward their parents, relatives or friends, either toward the city, or toward humanity. Or toward freedom of speech on Internet. On Dec 5th, 1999, they were reminding the atrocious death of Lisa Mc Pherson, dear young woman who once had been a fervent adept of the criminal cult, but had been betrayed to death by its devious and tortuous methods of brainwashing. The cult did not accept her wanting to leave once she became conscious she had been deceived by their methods. Scientology applied strictly one of its own grand rule number one, contained into their most known "policy letter", (Keeping scientology working series #1, page 8) : "We'd rather have you dead than incapable". But they had never proven conclusively to Lisa Mc Pherson that she could really be more capable with the cult's "techniques". So, she needed help, and wanted to get out of there. Just to get out. They had never proven either that she was incapable. In fact, she was rather capable, as shown by her high pay checks. And by the colossal sums she spent into scientology. Her main inability had been to observe the fraud before the day she wanted to leave, on november 17th, 1995. (photo) On december 1995, she was died. After having been "cared for" [scientologists words] by their upper technical worldwide "mecca of technical perfection", the Flag Organization, Clearwater, after a 17 days stay "for religious retreat". Since the circumstances of her death have been known in 1997, she became the emblem, the symbol of scientology criminality and abuses against everybody, including its own best clients. That's why we were there, with her own family, aunt, uncle and cousin, near the Flag scientology building. That's why we were wearing picket signs with "Scientology kills" CLEARWATER/SCIENTOLOGY RELATIONS: The conference I'll not repeat the many excellent speeches, which are already accessible on Xenu-TV, from great opposants to scientology, like ex-mayor of Clearwater Gabe Casares, writer Steve Hassan, Attorney Ken Dandar, Gerry Armstrong, Rod Keller, and many others having exposed the facts, the truths about the criminal cult. I'd just like to complete or remind my own intervention during the conference, as it seemed to me that much political and economical issues are at stake as soon one would consider scientology. US GOVERNMENT VS EUROPEAN GOVERNEMENTS ? I guess that USA government is not much conscious or aware of what it is defending now, under the guise of so-called "freedom of religion" or "religious tolerance", if not under "human rights banner", when it defends scientology. It's not quite conscious it is really defending the rat into the fruit that US citizens are eating. Scientology has its own internal systems of laws, rules, and money handling, which is totally divergent of any known other system, but those totally totalitarist ones. It is far more extremist than any known country system has ever been. It asks its adherents not only to give more than half of their revenues and capital to the cult, but as well, to take loans far above their financial possibilities. And to subdue to any of their internal rules, policies and laws, to the least one, even if unknown of them. When confronted to the real business world, most scientology companies do go bankrupt or cease to exist in few years; three main reasons exist: 1/ members have to keep on supporting scientology elaborate "technical" frauds, by paying more and more to get the next "spiritual development" steps; - from which they are never getting any really stable result, but instead, get a visible "ego hypertrophy", which means they start believing they have super-powers when they have only super-delusions. 2/ being often very excited at what they are supposed having discovered into scientology and life, new people having little or no experience start running new companies - often consulting or similar ones, and go bankrupt because of their inability to do what they intended to produce. Many of them don't have any standard scholarship or abilities to expose in the non-scientology world. 3/ WISE, the "world institute of scientology enterprises" asks them important contributions to allow them to use "Hubbard's Management Technologies". Not only the percentage asked is quite high (between 5 and 10 % of the companies GI), breaking the rentability, but worse, Hubbard management technologies are insane; Hubbard says by instance that one can waste as much as needed to make any small profit. Anybody knows that wasting does not give profits in the long run, and is deadly dangerous. A fourth cause of bankruptcy could be added: scientologists are badly perceived almost everywhere in the world. Their stablity is not part of there repute. In fact, they are only partly honest within scientology, and badly dishonest most of times with non-scientologists. The "Lie -Training" is often part of their indoctrination. Just one example: most french scieno-led companies are losing their clients as soon as they are recognized as scientologist companies; in Germany, one can't have some posts or be a member of certain groups if one is a scientologist. Distrust is normal: nobody likes to have enemies and spies into one's rank. So, what would happen in a world led by many scientologists? Either they would make wars between themselves (such as the present "scientology free-zoners" against scientology main group), either they'd ruin any company disagreeing with them, as shown in many case, being at war with any non-scientologist. No votes or political campaigns would be allowed: the Scientology major head would get any other important head of any company or country fired, by force if needed, and would send him into scientology gulags - unless killing him or her. Not an ounce of press freedom would be allowed, inhibiting further any data's circulation, and any correct decision from financial managers. (if you can find any criticism of any "standard" scientology organization in their publications, I'll be curious to see it: it has probably never existed, as any critic or facts opposed to scientology is totally forbidden there) What about european governments now, and their distrust about scientology - as well as against some other criminal cults, while US government looks rather indulgent against those? Differences between US and European perception of "religions" I observed by instance that there was some 10 pages of churches ads in the professionnal pages of Clearwater phone book. This is extremely high when compared to the Lyon/Rhône area (3 millions souls here, 10/15 times the Clearwater area); in Rhône departement, we find 1 page of catholic churches (the main religion here), plus one and a half column of other faiths. I have also observed that any major newspaper runs ads from churches on one page or more, each saturday, or that many churches in USA have their own busses, Universities, etc. Much money here in the religious market (term used by the Swiss National Council). (I'm not criticizing the true religions for having money). So, one could not be surprised to see every sort of religions or supposed to be religions, going mostly unchecked by US state authorities, while european people are easily distrusting some of these religions or self-called religions, when they happen to be money-makers instead of relatively poor preachers or ministers. In fact, religions look far more serious in Europe; almost nobody changes his own faith in major religions, unless some major event happens in his/her life. If someone changes religion, it's mostly to get rid of his past faith, but not to go in another denomination, as it happens in USA. So, US government can't really understand what european think about that, and why european governments have been more prudent regarding all these supposed to be "new religions" or "NRMs". Regarding scientology, some US government people have been: - lobbied for decades - infiltrated up to the congress and senate, if not to the Presidents, - spied , - most certainly corrupted sometimes - and the worse now, some high officials in politics and justice have been blackmailed, by the scientology criminal scam. It's no wonder therefore that some individuals or groups inside US offices can be more than prudent (I mean: laxist) with scientology. No wonder either that they tend to export their laxism and underestimation of the dangers of scientology, before international bodies like the OSCE (Office for security and cooperation in EU, Helsinki etc), or when they come to speak to foreign countries offices, such as the French "Mission Interministérielle de Lutte contre les Sectes". But USA are not aware that scientology is just attempting to destroy each and every bit of the capitalism, everyuwhere in the world, and wants to replace it by Hubbard's sacred scriptures, which are, from my viewpoint as an ex-consultant for companies, between the stupidest ways to govern a company or a country (even the scientology organizations do suffer greatly of the large gap between correct management and scientology management). Everything in scientology is short termed, nothing stable, and, would that group be really a large one, it could'nt profit in any way of such policies. In a country, or for the planet management, it would be a real catastrophe to follow Hubbard's rules. One could even suppose that US government has some political ideas in head: not attacking directly such frauds as scientology could be a good method to get more voters inside, while getting more "US allies and spies" outside. Or, some US politicians could be waiting calmly that foreign governments make the job of destruction of such criminal cults! PROPOSALS 1/ I presume that it could be fine to inform US government, far more often than we do, about the reality of scientology infiltrations, its results for the ECONOMY and the POLITICS for America. This can be done through every channel, mail or letters or meetings with officials. We could get much help from european government officials. 2/ We could get, as soon as possible, (that's what I'm trying to do for french speaking countries) a complete database containing each and every justice sentence having been taken wherever in the world, against or for scientology, as well as each expertise or affidavit having been done on the subject, and as well as any studies having been done by officials in any countries, on the topic of cults and/or scientology itself. We have already a great deal of them, many have been translated in english. Getting them all translated would need a large effort, but is probably one of the best means to get US offices more aware of the danger menacing human rights, politics and economics all over the world. Once the US officials would happen to know that there is a real danger for their own jobs, lives and rights, they could be a bit more prudent, and would cease to be the number one friends of the criminal cult. 3/ Third, we would be well advised to get as many letters as possible sent to foreign countries governments, and to international bodies like Interpol, CSCE, ONU etc., informing them of the dangers of scientology, and where they could find our database, in case of need. Getting our database on a cd rom could be useful. 4/ If possible, getting more help from ex-culties could be quite helpful, whatever in USA or in foreign countries. This could need some ads into newspapers, with the Lisa Mc Pherson fund adresses as a centralization point (or, to local associations having the same purposes). We could also get more help from psychiatry, medicine and health departments. That's also their affair. Those people do not accept that such a scam is still living and defrauding people. 5/ Getting ex-culties, whenever possible, to file suits against scientology, for fraud, illegal mistreatments, illegal jailing, illegal money handlings, lying advertisings and promises, illegal contracts, illegal demands of "Freeloader debts repayments", illegal social insurance and pay check handlings, criminal damages, etc etc... As we would get new culties speaking, we could learn how and when scientology has done its last crimes. We could perhaps even learn new murders, and get the families to complain before Courts. An,d get many new affidavits demonstrating that it has not changed its policies like Fair Gaming, lying before Courts, etc. 6/ If we have enough data, we could get american justice sending FBI raiders all over the country, and get the major keys to INCOMM system, which would give the final blow to scientology. There crimes, names of infiltrated people, new "snow white" plans etc are all there. We have to get officials to find them. That would be the end of the game. Perhpas we would'nt learn what and who, but we could at least get rid of the whole system. roger gonnet dec 11th, 1999
