A brief Overview
The CULT of Scientology is the brain child of El Ron Hubbard the famed science fiction writer famous for his book Dianetics. This was not his only work as he had written many other novels. Hubbard believed that religions where a farce and a cash cow. He stated he wanted to start a religion because that is where the money is. Hubbard then embarked on a journey to start a new religion know as Scientology. The core of hubbards beliefs was to never defend but Attack.
In this effort to become a Religion very devilish, tyrannical, immoral, unethical, and illegal practices were put in place. For instance the one that gets the most Scrutiny is called “Fair Game Law”. Fair Game law states that:
"The homes, property, places and abodes of persons who have been active in attempting to: suppress Scientology or Scientologists are all beyond any protection of Scientology Ethics, unless absolved by later Ethics or an amnesty ... this Policy Letter extends to suppressive non-Scientology wives and husbands and parents, or other family members or hostile groups or even close friends."
An Enemy or a SP (suppressive Person) May be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientology. Individuals May be tricked, sued, lied to,and or destroyed. A Suppressive person is described as one that is critical of the church or it's practices.
While Fighting for recognition as a religion Hubbard's Sheep were instructed to infiltrating the US Government including the IRS and get as much dirt as possible to black mail as many people as possible. Congressman Waxman was also a target of investigation. They were also to plant and or change information on public record about the so called church. The plot was uncovered and various members were arrested including Hubbard's wife. While she was sitting in prison he wrote her that “he was drinking a lot of rum and taking pinks and grays”
While continuing to cover up the truth, Scientology was eventually able to get TAX FREE status from the IRS as a religion based on their fair game tactics. Since then anyone that tries to be critical of the church is attacked in an effort to silence or destroy them. Scientologists under fair game are allowed to investigate anyone and they have prior miss conduct and if non exists they are to manufacture the evidence, the church tries to use that to silence it's critics.
Some Beliefs:
Scientology believes that Xenu escaped to planet earth with kidnapped souls and scattered them around volcanoes here on earth. He then exploded hydrogen BOMBs in those volcanoes. That event is was brings misery to earth today. Scientologists believe they are able to free them selves from these Thetans.
Scientology believes that Psychiatric medicine is not a science and it should be banned. However they have managed to KILL countless people (including Lisa McPherson) by denying them the medicines to save their lives. But that's for another post.
Why am i writing about something that happened a long time ago.. Scientology has been brought back to the fore front of media after a people known as anonymous started to picket the church.The started to picket the church after a video of tom cruise being shown in an Odd light was on youtube then quickly removed after youtube received a copy right request from scientology. They said the video was an edit and everything was taken out of context and this it was edited and pirated since it's property of scientology.While the Protest may have started voilently with a DDOS attack and phone and email pranks by a few rogue members on their website. Anonymous is a collective of free thinking like minded individuals with no central rule. Or so they say.
Stay tuned for more info on this dangerous cult.
