Now can we get this evil cult investigated??

1960′s – Scientologists put the life of Paulette Cooper, an author who wrote The Scandal of Scientology, under a microscope via platoons of sleazy private eyes and spies. Amongst other things they use planted “friends” to get her fingerprints on a blank sheet of paper which they then type a criminal threat onto and send off to the government. Ms. Cooper spends the next few decades in court because of this and other merry pranks. (Sentencing memorandum in U.S.A vs. Jane Kember, District Court, DC, criminal case #78-401, p. 23). Scientology says that it was just a few bad apples and nothing to do with them.
1970′s – Scientologists working for Hubbard’s wife break down the office door of Deputy Attorney General of the United States, Harold Tyler so that they can steal and photocopy his files on them. Many, many other law enforcement and tax officials get the same treatment. (Stipulation of Evidence, U.S.A. vs. Mary Sue Hubbard et al., District Court, DC, criminal case #78-401). Scientology says that it was just a few bad apples and nothing to do with them.
1980′s – Three busloads of cops raid the Toronto Scientology headquarters. The warrant runs to 158 pages and describes thefts of documents from a hospital, a newspaper and the Ontario Government. During the trial, which eventually convicted the organisation as a whole under our version of the US racketeering laws, it turned out that the Scientologists had a spy in the provincial police trying to find out who the undercover policewoman was who was working on them. (See every Toronto newspaper for years after the raid and during the trial.) Scientology says that it was just a few bad apples and nothing to do with them.
and so on and so on ad infinitum, ad nauseum. I’m sure this latest debacle is only the work of a few bad apples and is not a reflection on the whole organisation. Just like the kiddie sex scandals have been the work of a few bad apples in the R.C. Church for the last few centuries.
Of course this only deals with their “information wants to be free and we’ll use crowbars on your front door to get it” behaviour and not a dozen other kinds of evil that these few bad apples have gotten into in the last 70 years. Still what could be sinister about a religion that is embraced by Hollywood?!

I’m gonna go with cult.

And frankly, I’d much rather live in that world.

its a cult….

I just wish these clowns would stop ruining the good name of science! Can’t they just piss off and re-brand as the ‘Church of Homeopathology’ already?

Turin police raid a Scientology office and we don’t get a single broken bone?

Truly, there’s no justice.
