- Plupsyeah, on 05/09/2008, -0/+40"4. I have reason to believe that organized scientology will try to prevent me from giving such details,
including possibly physical harm to myself. Thus I wish to make one thing clear now. I am of sound
mind and happy in my life and look forward to living many more years of life. I have no desire to
commit suicide. Should I die and it appear that “I committed suicide” I wish to point out I would
never do that and I would wish to request an investigation into organized scientology and Miscavige
as potentially being behind my death."
:o - anonkwisdg, on 05/09/2008, -0/+35check out the last page, section 36:
"The true danger lurking behind those corporate veils and hidden behind religious cloaking is organized scientology’s intention to control the legal systems and educational systems of the world, to rid the world of its enemies and it apply its brutal ethics policies to everyone. That is what is in store for the world should the policies of organized scientology be applied throughout the world. It has long been the intention of organized scientology to do the above as it uses its front groups like Narconon, Applied Scholastics, the Way to Happiness Foundation etc. to get inroads into society for organized scientology".
ABSOLUTELY CHILLING.
I guess Larry is operating under the 'first to testify gets immunity' theory of operations. Are all the rest of you senior scientologists paying attention? - Icouldbe, on 05/09/2008, -0/+29Looks like Anonymous is winning.
- no12u, on 05/09/2008, -0/+29This is what we've been waiting for! Lawrence Brennan, Jason Beghe, Jenna Miscavige and the list will continue to grow. The two quotes above are some of the best parts of the affidavit. Should send a shudder down David Miscavige's spine. It's gonna be great to see him behind bars.
Information vs In Formation.
Peaceful Protest = End Of Cult - no12u, on 05/09/2008, -0/+24I'd like to add this quote from the affidavit that is particularly damning:
"32. Religious cloaking was intentionally used to help organized scientology make money and to avoid compliance with a myriad of laws that would otherwise apply if it was not so considered. The use of scholars to say scientology was a religion or organized scientology was a religious organization was carefully planned and executed to forward the cover of the religious cloaking."
When you read this pdf and you realize how far up Lawrence Brennan was, you'll see this is a big, big story.
Now be good diggers and digg!!! - felinonymous, on 05/09/2008, -0/+18This was an excellent read from a senior ex-scientologist. Larry will be joining Glosslip Radio on Sunday night at 9:00 I believe- check Glosslip to verify time- and I would imagine that he will be telling us what he hopes to do by registering these affidavits. Until then, he should only carry on.

- Icouldbe, on 05/09/2008, -2/+14Whoa! How damning! He should really make a statement about how he has no desire to commit suicide, because he just got put in their crosshairs big time!
- AnonFreeWill, on 05/09/2008, -0/+12Actually he did:
"4. I have reason to believe that organized scientology will try to prevent me from giving such details,

- no12u, on 05/09/2008, -0/+11I still can't believe that we haven't heard ANY further news on Shawn's "suicide". The Clearwater Police Force are toadies. Bring in the Feds.
- nunu4u, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9I admire Brennan's courage.
- picaflor999, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9You rule!!!
I mirrored it because I saw your Digg getting buried, and I couldn't make a new one to your web site! - CrackpotPress, on 05/10/2008, -0/+10How bout a little love for the guy who broke this story?

- anaesthetica, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8This document is going to be incredibly important in the strategic goal of getting Scientology's tax-exemption revoked. Once they can be stripped of that--based on the evidence that this affidavit points to--the CoS will be in a far weaker position financially, and subject to much higher levels of scrutiny by state and federal agencies.
- anaesthetica, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7More on religious cloaking:
I can state without doubt that the overwhelming main reason that organized scientology developed and pushed its religious cloaking was to avoid a myriad of real or potential legal problems that would exist by following Hubbard’s policies if it were not considered a religion.
(i) minimum wages would not have to be paid;
(ii) staff could be sent to different parts of the world and be able to stay locally as
religious workers;
(iii) standard employee rights, such as those found in laws like the Fair Labor
Standards Act, could be discarded and thus Hubbard policies involving such
things as ethics conditions, the Rehabilitation Project Force and the like could
be applied without outside interference;
(iv) less scrutiny would be allowed on the controls of the funds of scientology and
the intermingling of funds between the corporations and other legal fictions of
organized scientology;
(v) it was hoped that the treatment of public scientologists and the use of their
funds would be considered outside the purview of governmental bodies;
(vi) couching the demand for and flow of monies within organized scientology
using “religious” terms (such as by saying that clear cut mandatory payments
for services were “fixed donations” and were mandated by the scripture of
“exchange”) was hoped to cut off attempts by governments and others to look
into them further;
(vii) what was considered one of the most important reasons for the religious
cloaking was so that the services of dianetics and scientology could be
delivered without it being considered the practice of psychology and/or
medicine. It was feared that unless there was a religious cloaking developed
and used throughout organized scientology that its practices would be
outlawed in many parts the world.
!!!! - jontalisman, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7I'd just like to know why Barack Obama supports the tax-exempt status of the CSI?
- anaesthetica, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6More evidence of physical violence, perpetrated by Miscavige personally:
(i) the examples of Miscavige spitting on and beating top organized scientology
executives in late 82. There are a number of people who have now gone public telling of
Miscavige’s beatings and other abuses of others since I first posted this over a year ago.
This includes Jeff Hawkins, Bruce Hines, Mark Headley, John Peeler and others. These
will show a pattern of brutality and control over decades by Miscavige over organized
scientology which in turn will show his statements that he did not run organized
scientology under penalty of perjury to be false. - megarobotguy, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6It's sad he and others before him had to justify the possibility of their death, just shows you how screwed up this cult really has become.
- anaesthetica, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6He also confirms the existence of all those nasty programs like Fair Game and disconnection that we keep hearing about, and points the finger directly at Hubbard:
Hubbard was deeply involved in all major [Guardians Office] legal actions
involving corporate throughout the history of the GO. Not only that, but many horrible
abuses some in the GO carried out were under Hubbard's orders. Not only that, but the
"damages cases" and other such cases that the GO was mired into defending where not
just from things of their own doing. They were trying to defend against real damages in
fact caused, not just by the GO, but rather by the standard application of abusive Hubbard
policies found throughout organized scientology. The GO did many bad things and some
in there committed crimes and deserved to go to jail. But the insane policies of Hubbard
relating to such things as "fair game", "disconnection", the RPF, penalties, hard selling,
etc., etc. were in fact behind many legitimate governmental and private civil actions
against the "church". Hubbard was creating many of the main legal problems, not the GO. - haydesigner, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5I wish the DC Madam did that.
Oh wait... she did. Didn't help. - deanoplex, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5picaflor999 is on a roll!!! http://digg.com/celebrity/Billionaire_James_Packer ...

- Delanon, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1This is huge. Try and put the spin on this, CoS! You can't. But seeing you try would be entertaining.
- Ishmael, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Is that documented that Obama supports their tax exempt status? I cannot seem to find a source for that statement...
- Rotzooi, on 05/10/2008, -5/+5This is excellent news. Bringing down corrupt organizations with peaceful protest.
Next: the US Government
Then: the Catholic Church - inactive, on 05/10/2008, -5/+1If the Christians will help us defeat most of the other religions, we can probably defeat the last one without their help.
