Lisa McPherson - Death By Scientology

On December 5th 1995 Lisa McPherson, a long time parishioner of the "church" of Scientology died after having been held against her will for 17 days on Scientology's Introspection Rundown, having been "diagnosed" by Scientologists as psychotic.   Scientologists believe that the only cure for psychosis is the I/R because that is what Hubbard said:

"The psychotic break,the last of the "unsolvable"conditions that can trap a person,has been solved." - L.Ron Hubbard - HCO BULLETIN OF 23 JANUARY 1974RB REVISED 25 APRIL 1991 - THE TECHNICAL BREAKTHROUGH OF 1973! THE INTROSPECTION RD

For 17 days, she had very little to eat or drink.  She threw up most of the food she managed to choke down, begged to be set free, beat on the walls, cried and screamed to no avail.  Her caretakers were not allowed to speak to her.  Finally, on day 17 someone figured out that she was dying and they had to do something about it.  So did they call the paramedics and an ambulance (like any sane person would do)?  No.  You see that would cause too many questions to have paramedics arrive at the Fort Harrison Hotel.  You see, in Scientology, it is practically illegal to be ill.  It is bad public relations.  So did they take her to the nearest emergency room?  No.  They put her in one of their vans, and transported her past the first 4 hospitals instead opting for a hospital 45 minutes away.  When time was of the essence!  And somewhere in between, when she still could have been saved, she died.  Some conjecture that this was done on purpose to avoid a potential flap (Scientology speak for bad P/R).  Of course, like many of their efforts, it created an even bigger flap. I think it is murder:


Depraved-heart murder, also known as depraved-indifference murder, is an American legal term for an action that demonstrates a "callous disregard for human life" and results in death. In most states, depraved heart killings constitute second-degree murder.

Marty Rathbun, who was second in command of the "church" at the time has said that her case was personally C/S'ed (Case Supervisor)by David Miscavige.  Although Miscavige had no training as a C/S at that level, or any other C/S training at that time.  Mr Rathbun has also admitted some culpability in the tampering of evidence and other dirty tricks on the coroner and officials in the following criminal case against Scientology at Mr Miscavige's behest.  Eventually, due to lack of evidence and the reversal of cause of death by the coroner, the case was dismissed.  This does NOT mean that Scientology was found guilty.  Scientology settled with Lisa's family in the civil case.  To this day, Scientology takes no responsibility in the death of Lisa McPherson.

Two years after hear death, Mike Rinder  (who was, at that time, the head of Scientology's Office of Special Affairs, their not-so secret police), was interviewed.  You can tell that the (church's) view is that it is just standard policy.


Presenter: Rest and relaxation sounds like a wonderful idea. But the records say that two days into her stay she was spitting out food and vomiting, four days into her stay she was ashen faced and feverish, and  then she became violent, striking the attendants, hallucinating, thinking that she's L. Ron Hubbard, being too weak to stand, soiling herself, crying, babbling, breaking things. At that point, isn't it clear that  it's not working?

Rinder: What’s not working?

Presenter: Resting, taking her away?

Rinder:  I don't think that that's clear at all. I don't think that you can draw inferences or conclusions from what is said. You can read other reports and later on there is a different perspective.

Presenter:  But these are the church records.

Rinder: Of course they are.

Well, Mr Rinder, what do you think now?  You can even comment here.

And later in the same television show:

KEN DANDAR: (The attorney representing McPherson's family) So could you imagine Lisa McPherson, who is mentally unstable according to Scientology, is having these people come in and try to force feed her, and she's yelling and screaming at them. She's banging on the wall. She's fighting with them. She's asking them questions. But they are not allowed to respond to her. All they can do is turn around and walk out the room, and then write a report to the case supervisor and close the door behind them. And she's not allowed to leave.


RINDER: Dandar is an idiot. That's my response to that. He hasn't got a clue. He is the worst of the worst of what makes the American legal system so out of control. He is an ambulance chasing gold digger.


DANDAR: My reply to that is simple: If they had called an ambulance for Lisa McPherson, I wouldn't be here today.

I think we will leave it at that.  I think Mr Dandar said it all. Except that it is my hope that the case may someday be re-opened by some Attorney General who actually cares about justice, and maybe prosecutes from the top down.

Sneaky Scientology - Can We Ever be Friends?

Possibly the worst thing for a young Scientologist is to find that they have a family member, friend or significant other who is antagonistic toward Scientology.  They know that they will have to do one of two things with this person.  "Handle or Disconnect".  If they fail in this, they know that it means probable denial of further Scientology Services, a thought that strikes terror in the heart of any Scientologist.  The problem for the new Scientologist is that he or she has not been trained to "handle" those who know nothing about Scientology.  They have not been trained in the deceptive sales techniques that Scientology's Dissemination and Public Divisions have.  So what to do?

No problem.  The Ethics Officer will sell you an Audio presentation that you can give to your loved one (s).  You can tell them that this might clear up some of their misconceptions, that you may have accidentally caused by not knowing the right thing to say.  What they, and you as a new Scientologist don't know is that this audio is full of actual Dianetics and Scientology processes along with some Public Division tricks.  It is actually devised to drive an unsuspecting antagonist down into their own "case" (used to mean the entire accumulation of upsets, pain, failures, etc., residing in a persons reactive mind).  Let's listen to the first 5 minutes of this audio file and then we will discuss the insidious tactics being used.

Alright.  Let's look at this.  First, he uses Public Division (the people responsible for bringing new people in), tactics.  He finds your ruin (Scientology definition - Ruin, before you can save someone from ruin, you must find out what their own personal ruin is. This is basically – what is ruining them? What is messing them up? It must be a condition that is real to the individual as an unwanted condition, or one that can be made real to him.)  Then he tries to make you feel bad about it by insinuating that it may be, at least partially, your fault.  Then he uses actual Dianetics Auditing (Scientology counseling, taken from the Latin word audire which means “to hear or listen.”) showing you the way you felt about something and then asking you to find a time when you felt that way earlier.  This is a big part of Dianetics auditing.  The awful part of this is that he spins you down into your case, but doesn't help you alleviate that now nagging feeling you have down in your guts.  

Then at last, when you feel like crying, he offers you some hope.  He gives you, the loved one, the responsibility of finding out about Scientology for yourself.  But he does not want you to find out from another person or persons.  You are only to look at Scientology (Hubbard) written sources.  They hope, in this way, they will get you into a Scientology Org, and make you a Scientologist as well.  Failing in that, at least to make you a little less antagonistic to Scientology.

So if your loved one comes up and tries to give you a copy of "Can We Ever Be Friends?", you can say that you already know about that, and share the information that you have learned here.  Oh!  By the way.  If the above data isn't bad enough for you, I need to tell you this.  The audio presentation was produced by OSA (Office of Special Affairs - Scientology's Secret Police) and narrated by an OSA chaplain. Something to think about eh?

Thanks for spending some time with me today, and come back often for more.  As always, I look forward to your comments and suggestions.

Hubbard - Mankind's Greatest Friend

From the "church" of Scientology's Official website on Hubbard:

Philosopher, humanitarian, author, artist, educator and administrator—L. Ron Hubbard served us in a myriad of ways. In turn, he is quite literally viewed by millions worldwide as Mankind’s greatest friend: by those now literate, by those now drug-free, by those who used his work to reclaim their honor and self-respect, by those who enjoy new-found prosperity, morality and the unmatched joy of artistic creation.

So let's take a look at our great friend.  First, let us look at a major precept of human decency and morality.  Honesty.  Can we as humans be true friends with others without it.  I don't believe so.  So what does Hubbard say about lying?  Here are a few quotes for you.

"THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CONTROL PEOPLE IS TO LIE TO THEM. You can write that down in your book in great big letters. The only way you can control anybody is to lie to them. … He's got to tell you lies in order to continue control, because the second you start telling anybody close to the truth, you start releasing him and he gets tougher and tougher to control. So, you can't control somebody without telling them a bunch of lies."

And from the Philadelphia Doctorate Course we have:

"Now, you say, "We have to be absolutely truthful and sincere; and sincerity is the main thing, and truthfulness is the main thing, and don't lie to anybody, and never…" and so on, "and you'll get ahead." You — brother, you sure will. You'll get ahead right on that cycle of action right toward zero"

As a matter of fact, if you are employed in Scientology's Office of Special Affairs, part of you training is lying.  That's right.  Every OSA member is required to take the Intelligence Course which has a different type of Training Routines (indoctrination).  This one is called TR-L (Training Routine - Lying).

INTELLIGENCE SPECIALIST TRAINING ROUTINE - TR L

Purpose: To train the student to give a false statement with good TR-1 . To train the student to outflow  false data effectively.

Position: Same as TR-1

Commands: Part 1 "Tell me a lie". Command given by coach. Part 2 interview type 2 WC by coach.

Training Stress: In Part 1 coach gives command, student originates a falsehood. Coach flunks for out  TR 1 or TR 0. In Part 2 coach asks questions of the student on his background or a subject. Student gives untrue data of a plausible sort that that student backs up with further explanatory data upon the coach further questions. The coach flunks for out TR 0 and TR 1, and for student fumbling on question answers.

So much for honesty huh?

So how about the rest of the human condition?  In Scientology it is estimated that 20% of all of the human population on earth fall below 2.0 on the Scientology Tone Scale.

Click here to see the Tone Scale in full.

20%.  Not too many huh?  Let's look at the numbers.  There are currently 7 Billion people in the world.  So 20% would be about 1.4 Billion people that fall into the category that Scientologists would call degraded beings.  What would Hubbard have us do with these poor souls?  Have a look from Science of Survival:

"The only answers would seem to be the permanent quarantine of such persons from society to avoid the contagion of their insanities and the general turbulence which they bring into any order"

"In any event, any person from 2.0 down on the tone scale should not have, in any thinking society, any civil rights of any kind..."

Homelessness, joblessness, depression, mental illness, and so on would not be allowed.  They should be"disposed of quietly and without regret" This would include anyone who is in chronic pain (1.8), covertly hostile (1.1)(This includes all sexually aberrated  persons, defined in Scientology as L.G.B.T or even someone who masturbates regularly), people in fear, despair, terror, sympathy, the chronically ill, the dying.  Among others.  Oh yeah, don't forget those who are antagonistic toward Scientology. I want you to get this. 1.4 Billion people should be removed from society or euthanized.

And what about those of us who publicly oppose Scientology?  Hubbard doesn't pull any punches about that.  He says that we may "be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or utterly destroyed." 

Lastly, would "Mankind's Greatest Friend" be a racist?  I will give you a few examples:

"The South African native is probably the one impossible person to train in the entire world — he is probably impossible by any human standard." 

– L. Ron Hubbard, PAB No. 119, 1 September 1957, as published in Level 0 PABS (c.1968, The American St. Hill Organization).

"As long as a white foreman is there, they will prevent soil erosion; but the moment that a white foreman turns his back — boo! There goes the whole program."

"And you finally get up to the point of where he's [native] supposed to take care of something, a lesson which has never been taught to the native of South Africa."

–L. Ron Hubbard, 15th ACC (Power of Simplicity) lecture "Education: Point of Agreement", 30 Oct 1956.

 What Gall!  And finally, from a letter to his first wife Polly:

"You shouldn't be scrubbing the floor on your hands and knees. Get yourself a nigger; that's what they're born for."

Thanks for being here today.  Please come back soon for more.  You comments, as always are welcomed.

Can You Be A Christian Scientologist?

Note: This is a must read for anyone who doesn't yet know that Hubbard was not only a pathological liar but completely nuts. This is Hubbard on religion. This is Hubbard the anti-Christian, because it is Christianity and no other religion that he vilifies with this insane "technology."

Contrary to what you may have been told by a Scientologist, the answer is no.  Scientologists, especially those that deal with new people being introduced to Scientology, are trained to tell you that Scientology embraces all religions and that as Scientology does not deal with God directly, through it's practical philosophy  leads a person into a better relationship with their own God reality.  Not only misleading, but an outright lie.

From The Scientology website on their views on God:

Unlike religions with Judeo-Christian origins, the Church of Scientology has no set dogma concerning God that it imposes on its members. As with all its tenets, Scientology does not ask individuals to accept anything on faith alone. Rather, as one’s level of spiritual awareness increases through participation in Scientology auditing and training, one attains his own certainty of every dynamic. Accordingly, only when the Seventh Dynamic (spiritual) is reached in its entirety will one discover and come to a full understanding of the Eighth Dynamic (God or infinity) and one’s relationship to the Supreme Being. 

"This is Hubbard the stark raving mad "scientist" assuring us suckers that this bulletin "is based on over a thousand hours of research auditing." It's "scientific research," he says, "not in any way based upon the mere opinion of the researcher." And he certifies that the rest of "Scientology data reflects long, arduous and painstaking research over a period of some thirty years.

The Scientology cult promotes that it is compatible with Christianity. That's why they keep this bulletin secret. Scientology is compatible with Christianity as lies are compatible with truth, as hate is compatible with love, as death is compatible with life. Scientology is lies, hate and death.

Scientology is Hubbard's trap for anyone he could lure in, with his lies of science and research and his false promises of freedom. He implanted people with the implant he told them he was freeing them from. He was right down there with the father of lies. "— by Gerry Armstrong

You don't believe the above?  I will let you read some from Hubbard while he kicks the belief system of Christians.  You can make up your own mind.

ROUTINE 3
HEAVEN Well, I have been to Heaven.
And I've found that Scientologists have been to Heaven.
And that everybody has evidently been to Heaven.
The Goals Problem Mass implants, which are the apparent basic source of aberration and human travail, which begin with the goal To Forget, were cynically done "in Heaven".
For a long time, people have been cross with me for my lack of co-operation in believing in a Christian Heaven, God and Christ. I have never said I didn't disbelieve in a Big Thetan but there was certainly something very corny about Heaven et al. Now I have to apologize. There was a Heaven. Not too unlike, in cruel betrayal, the heaven of the Assassins in the 12th Century who, like everyone else, dramatized the whole track implants - if a bit more so.
Yes, I've been to Heaven. And so have you. And you have the pattern of its implants in the HCO Bulletin Line Plots. It was complete with gates, angels and plaster saints - and electronic implantation equipment. So there was a Heaven after all - which is why you are on this planet and were condemned never to be free again - until Scientology.
Before you went to Heaven you were not really very bad or very good, but you didn't think you had lived only once and you had a good memory and knew who you were and enjoyed life. Afterwards ---
The symbol of the crucified Christ is very apt indeed. It's the symbol of a thetan betrayed.

DATA Additional work and possible corrections need to be done but this is the gist of the matter:
The implants are electronic in nature and follow the pattern of the G.P.M.
The implant station existed on the order of magnitude of 43,000,000,000,000 years ago. (The dates may be part of the implants but do not appear so at this stage. However, a possibility of correction of dates is reserved).
Some have been through it once, some more than once.
The first time I arrived and the moment of the implant To Forget was dated at 43,891,832,611,177 years, 344 days, 10 hours, 20 minutes and 40 seconds from 10:02½ PM Daylight Greenwich Time May 9, 1963. The second series was dated to the moment of the implant To Forget as 42,681,459,477,315 years, 132 days, 18 hours, 20 minutes and 15 seconds from 11:02½ PM Daylight Greenwich Time May 9, 1963.
There are no earlier such implants. There are no later such implants.
I evidentally have a goal of my own at 305 Trillion (U.S.) years and an actual GPM, all of which pulled into this 43 Trillion year implant.

ADDITIONAL E-METER DATA Five goals in all may be common to both sequences. The first 3 of the 5 are the same. There are no implants as to time according to the meter. There are numbers in any implants, but dates rocket read. Implanting was done on a non-visible thetan, but arrival was in a ship in a doll body accoding to the meter. Star of Bethlehem, Pearly Gates, The Way out of the Universe, all of which RR on the meter, give a clue to recruitment actions.
There was no purpose in giving a particular thetan a particular goal. Planning had no individualization.
A preclear's overts should be scouted as to why these implants keyed in, Fac 1, hypnotism, etc. But doubtful if any preclear did this type of implanting.
The mood is set that thetans are evil, treacherous and bad but this is all part of the implant, not factual.
The earliest point of the series is not known at this writing but possibly contains a recruitment through advertising. The departure point from the series is not fully known yet but probably just abandonment.
The implants were not done in a box or in some trick manner of projection. The scenery is actually there, common Mest Universe, space and matter and in the Mest Universe.
The first (43 Trillion) series consists of 29 implanted goals.
The second (42 Trillion) series consists of 21 implanted goals.
The first three goals in both series are the same, To Forget, To Remember and To Go Away. The last goal and one other in both series are the same. The remaining goals are not the same for the two implants.

PERSONALLY PERCEIVED DATA The pattern of RIs is different for the two series, consisting in the second series of added RIs below the To Have a Goal-ivity and with a different dwindling of adjectives and adverbs, but are otherwise similar.
Both series have the Gates of Heaven visible. The last implant of both consists of "entering" Heaven. The last goal of both is To Be In Heaven.
The gates of the first series are well done, well built. An avenue of statues of saints leads up to them. The gate pillars are surmounted by marble angels. The entering grounds are very well kept, laid out like Bush Gardens in Pasadena, so often seen in the movies. Aside from the implant boxes which lie across from each other on the walk there are other noises and sounds as though the saints are defending and berating. These are unimportant to the incident.
The second series, probably in the same place, shows what a trillion years of overt acts does (or is an additional trickery to collapse one's time). The place is shabby. The vegatation is gone. The pillars are scruffy. The saints have vanished. So have the Angels. A sign on one (the left as you "enter") says "This is Heaven". The right has a sign "Hell" with an arrow and inside the grounds one can see the excavations like archaeological diggings with raw terraces, that lead to "Hell". Plain wire fencing encloses the place. There is a sentry box beside and outside the right pillar. The road "leading up" to the gates is deeply eroded. An effigy of Joseph, complete with desert clothing, is seen approaching the gates (but not moving) leading a donkey which "carries" the original Madonna and child from "Bethlehem". The implanting boxes lie on either side of this "entering" path at path level.
These are the actual ends of the two series. One backs out the gates, of course, from top oppterm down, as this is the end. The last two RIs after this last goal say "it is the beginning", "Not the end".
The place, by implant and inference, was supposed to be in the sky like a floating island. Actually it was simply a high place in the mountains of a planet and the gates pathway falls away into a gorge, very eroded and bare by the time of the second implant, but heavily forested and rolling at the time of the first.
The beginnings have not at this writing been so well explored by myself. I have not viewed the second beginning (which says it is the end). However I do know that the second series was done in long square tunnels with the implant boxes, not unlike small P.A. speakers with fretwork fronts, on either side.
The first series actually begins with arrival in a "town" (as everything is backwards to upset the time sense). This "town" consisted of a trolley bus, some building fronts, sidewalks, train tracks, a boarding house, a bistro in a basement where there is a "bulletin board" well lighted, and a BANK BUILDING.
The bank is the key point of interest. It is interesting that we use the work "bank" (taken actually from computerology) to indicate the reactive mind.
This bank building was the on-the-corner old-fashioned granite-like construction, two or three stories high, with the door in the rounded front - even a revolving type door. Inside to the left of the entrance door is a rounded counter. Directly across the room are THE stairs.
The top oppterm and terminal of To Forget are at the top of these stairs. The implant then proceeds on down the stairs, step by step, terminals on one side (the left if one were coming up the stairs) the oppterms on the other. The first series (43 Trillion) has all its implant impulses at step level. In the second series the boxes are ear high to a man. By the time the gates are arrived at in the first series, the terminals are on the left as you approach the gates, the oppterms on the right, having been reversed at some point.
The first (43 Trillion) series had very fine marble stairs. The same stairs can be seen in any big well kept railway station. They were complete with a white ball held in a wrought iron stand.
The thetan was taken along apparently on a pole trap to which he was stuck. It does not proceed step by step throughout the whole of the implant series, but after the first flight of stairs, goes a ways, stops while several pairs of RIs fire then goes to a new location.
The place seemed to have people in it. But they are all effigies. These seem radioactive. Contact with them hurts. No living beings. But effigies that look like humans are performing sudden, repetitive actions with long halts between. In the "basement" such dummies are seen operating machinery.
The boarding house at the actual beginning has a dummy guest and a landlady in kimono and wrappers, reading a newspaper.
There are no devils or satans that I saw.
There is a passenger getting on the trolley bus, a "workman" halfway down the first stairs of To Forget "eating lunch" and in To Be in Heaven a gardener or electrician adjusting an implant box behind a hedge and periodically leaping up and screaming.
The place, so long as the implants remain only partially discharged, seems to swim in while and black electronic masses, but these dissipate as the implants are run out by pattern.
One actually "enters" the "town" as the first action. The implants, however, were rigged to make the gates seem the entrance to the incident. One backs through from the town, into the bank, down the steps and eventually out the Pearly Gates, down the hillside and is there let off and abandoned. One might have had a body or its remains at the town but has none when abandoned.
"TO BE IN HEAVEN" is the last goal implanted in both series. The goal may be slightly differently worded in the second series.
This is not a body building implant, though running it gives somatics to chest.
This is not a GE implant. It is the person's own. Running it, particularly badly, brings it down on the body. There are body somatics on it, however, particularly eyes, face, chest, bones.
It apparently only can be run by 3M listing and Rocket Reads. One must have the goal to get the RIs.

CONCLUSIONS The place is so full of lies by implant that the preclear becomes quite confused and this review of the actual data is necessary to a successful navigation. However, it is very easy to read more treachery into it than there is in it - which is enough.
However, as the place existed so long it was in a varying state of repair and some change. (This data on time is subject to review). But in 1.2 Trillion years only some of the implant pattern and mock up had shifted. However, there may have been other stations. Only time and research will really tell that.
One must date the preclear's first (earliest) goal to forget, find out how many times the preclear went through it, or some such implant station, date the other times and be careful to run only the first of the first series. As this is basic, as in Prepchecking, Sec Checking and old engram running, it tends to ease up the remainder of the implants. But running the implants later than basic is very much harder on the pc even though it can be done. Wherever one misses an RI in an early implant, that repeated RI when found in a later one tends to be very much more heavily charged.
Re-running any implant that has only been partially run tends to rough up the whole implant and make it hard to run.

LUCK I think we are lucky. It could have been much worse. This Heavenly dream of destruction could have been current, not so long ago. It could have happened often, not just once or twice or three times per pc. But apparently it didn't and is unique in itself.
This is the core of the Reactive Mind. It is all the way South. For here, just once on the whole track, somebody discovered the mechanism of purposes and RIs and utilized them to install religious mania and pin thetans down to "one life" and planets.
The thing was done so well that it has hung up ever since. There are other implants, there are other goals and GPMs, but these are minor and easily found and listed once this key implant series is out of the way.
We were in a position of having an infinite number of pieces to the puzzle. Now we have a finite number which even though very tough are still finite in number. Further, every processing step taken, every RI discharged is a positive gain toward a definite finite result in processing.
Further, we have our hands on an apalling piece of technology where the world is concerned. With rapidity and a Mater it can be shown that Heaven is a false dream and that the old religion was based on a very painful lie, a cynical betrayal.
What does this do to any religious nature of Scientology? It strengthens it. New religions always overthrow the false gods of the old, they do something to strengthen man. We can improve man. We can show the old gods false. And we can open up the universe as a happier place in which a spirit may dwell. What more can you expect? This actually places us far beyond any other beings that are about. It puts us, through increased beingness and a restoration of life, in control of much destiny.
We have now only a few unsolved problems about life, huge though they may be, such as the construction of bodies and how does one establish the character of and communicate, if feasible, with beings who are making trees and insects. There are a few things like these. But I imagine when we finally manage to communicate with beetle under rocks and free them, we'll no doubt find the Creator of Heaven who 43 + Trillion years ago designed and built the Pearly Gates and entrapped us all.
Good Lord, I'd hate to be guilty of that overt. (Sin or crime) But never mind - you aren't either. That guy is GONE (I hope!)

Maybe this is old news for you, maybe you have learned something today.  I hope this series is helping someone learn the truth about Scientology.  Thanks for dropping by today.  If you see any value in these posts, please pass them around.  Stay tuned for more.

The R.P.F. - Scientology's Prison Camp

The fence that you see above is located at Scientology's "Gold" Base, not too far from the city of Hemet, California in the U.S.  As you can see, the stainless steel razor spikes point both ways, not only to keep people out, but to keep those on the inside from escaping.  Did I mention this is a "church"?  Can it possibly be that the "church" of Scientology has it's own concentration camp?  Read on.

Possibly the worst policies L. Ron Hubbard ever came up with were the policies that constitute the Rehabilitation Project Force (R.P.F. for short).  Scientology upper management will tell you that is is a voluntary work/study/religious retreat to help rehabilitate Sea Organization members and get them back up to where they can be productive members of the group.  It is actually a prison camp to punish those Sea Organization members that have angered management in some way or another.  Some are thrown into this work/punishment detail just because they wish to leave the Sea Org or Scientology.

Once in, members are in and punished until they are back in the good graces of the management.  This has been known to last up to 6 years and more.  Members of the R.P.F. are not allowed to communicate with anyone outside of the R.P.F.  They are not allowed to eat at the same times as other staff.  They are only allowed to sleep in separate quarters, usually filthy places with only one bathroom for all members.  They are not allowed to communicate to their friends or family by phone or letter unless it would cause a flap (bad p.r.).  If they are permitted to call, their calls are monitored by a security person to make sure they don't say where they are or how they really are doing.  Letters out must be read by security personnel before they are posted.  If an member is having a hard time making it in the R.P.F., no problem.  There is always the R.P.F.'s R.P.F. The only reason for that organization is to totally break the member to make them pliable and willing to follow any command.  Sleep deprivation, filthy food and quarters, not being allowed any personal time, hard work, no socialization are all part of this "program".

I have heard many horror stories of friends that have been in.  Here are just a few quotes:

From Tonja Burden - "... In the RPF you were labeled 'treasonous' and forced to work 18 hours a day.7 days a week and oftentimes received only 'rice and beans' and water. During this time I personally observed a person chained to pipes in the boiler room in the Fort Harrison building for a period of weeks. In the RPF I saw people screaming and crying during the constant auditing on the E-meter. RPF prisoners were forced to undergo auditing in order to audit out their evil purposes against Hubbard and Scientology. I cried virtually the whole time I was in the RPF."

From Hana Whitfield - "Certain infractions caused the person responsible to be assigned to the RPF's RPF, a place in the lower boiler room under the Fort Harrison Hotel, among the boilers and hot waters pipes which rambled and hissed 24 hours a day. The place was only dimly lit. It consisted of interconnecting-spaces through which one had to crawl on hands and knees at times past or underneath huge pipes and massive 10 foot high boilers. It had a dark, forbidding, somewhat scary place. One of my buddies was assigned to the RPF's RPF for two months for refusing to divulge confidential information for which she had been bonded in the Guardian's Office. She was kept in that space ex-communicado for the entire time, with limited bathing and toilet privileges, all the time being threatened and verbally harassed by RPF superiors. She finally emerged a broken, silent, sullen person who soon after managed to escape from the RPF and the Fort Harrison Hotel. Her name was Lynn Froyland."

From our good friend Suzi Nefertiti a.k.a. Mary Abadi - an average day in the RPF - "Basically, it consists in getting up early before everybody and going to bed very late after everybody else. Fatigue is omnipresent. Just 7 hours sleep is not enough to compensate for a forced labor work in a hell cadence. The person's resistance, even in good health conditions begins to decay. At this rate, after a week of forced pace — I would not wish to my worst enemies (except Miscavige and other bastards) — I felt my strengths lowering. Cramps becoming more and more frequent were all the more painful since I had to continue running no matter what. Aching all over, sweat had also become a fearful enemy. Florida's hot and humid climate with the accelerated rhythm of constant effort provoked an important sweating which was responsible for an accumulation of bacteria. The thing was to protect ourselves from potential wounds at all cost. No preventive measures was ever taken and of course, no medicine, not even antiseptics or antibiotics were allowed in case of injury or illness.

Actions stations would occur by 7AM. All I had was 5 minutes to be ready; get dressed with a dirty black trousers, a dirty black tee-shirt, and remember the black ribbon around the left arm. Well well! like Jews with a star sewn on their torn coat during the second World War of evil memory... or like the red letter sewn on the heroin's dress of a famous novel; The Scarlet Letter from Nathaniel Hawthorne. Standing for adulterous, the letter A stigmatized the woman's "sin" heavily reproved and socially condemned by puritan moral prevailing in 17 Century Boston. Hester Prynne is sentenced for adultery to be put in the stocks. She is to forever wear the symbol of her sin, the big red letter A sewn on the bodice of her dress.

In the RPF, the dark ribbon is the representation of discrimination; the illegal and arbitrary segregation of the person. The person is plainly ostracized. It is the same thing really except that we no longer live in 17th Century. Of course the RPF is contrary to the Rights of Man, violates every Constitution and must be forbidden by the Governments would they only bother to assume their responsibilities and make proper legislation so that no intern prison belonging to any group or "religion" call it a labor camp, gulag or RPF be tolerated on their soils. I guess that the will of politics would be awakened when a politician's daughter or son were to be be ensnared by a cult and be interned in one of those camps or worse, were to commit suicide.

The RPF illegal forced labor camp is all the more intolerable since this humiliation is presented as an expiation for adept's so-called "crimes" and which is forced to accept his need for Redemption. On top of that imagined by a perverted madman, sadistic and paranoid schizophrenic guru.

But let's come back to the story.

As a precautionary measure, I always wore a clean tee-shirt underneath the black and dirty one. Fortunately, I had a dozen tee-shirts in my suitcase. Every night after the 30 seconds shower I coated my body with talc in order to protect my skin against sweat. We all suffered from heavy sweating. I recall this young woman terribly suffering from an important infection which had been developing under her breasts. Instead of healing, the wound had been expanding to such a degree that purulent blisters had reached her navel. When I saw that infection I told her: "Here, have some talc, take mine." She looked at me puzzled.

— "I think you should wear a cotton tee-shirt under your bra in order to isolate your breasts. That may help to stop the infection." I added.

She answered that she didn't have any so I spontaneously gave her 2 tee-shirts of mine.

— "You can wash your tee-shirt every night so you will always have a clean and dry tee-shirt for the day after."

She had a sort of trembling.

— "Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me?" she asked.

With the passing of time, I realize how pathetic was this woman's reaction. How was it possible that someone should help her? She had lost the notion of solidarity! (something very present in regular prisons or prison camps.)

To me it was just a matter of assisting someone in danger; her infection had definitely become too large to ignore it. Unlike others, I felt compassion. In the RPF, it's every man for himself.

Among the 8 girls living in the same room I was the only one to offer some help. But each girl was having her share of suffering, each girl was trying to survive the best she could and then I had just arrived to the RPF, therefore I was not weakening yet. I could still afford to help someone...

We used to take a bus taking us to the Fort Harrison. That bus was infested with cockroaches. First, I refused to sit down since the bus was crawling with cockroaches which did not mind to step on us but then with fatigue overpowering me, I relinquished to sit down. Every moment of rest had become a priority so we all just merely move our hands or feet once in a while to dismiss bigger ones...

At the RPF "mess" (room in which meals are eaten in the Armed Forced), it was a matter of feeding ourselves the best we could. Cereals in the form of unappetizing porridges were proposed. To hold out and despite my disgust in eating solid food in the morning, I reluctantly swallowed every kind of soups or pigswills, as long as they had milk in it. The RPFer in charge of bringing the food was warmly welcomed by everybody since he had managed to find a milk gallon; I watched as he was being applauded and sadly deduced that milk was not an obvious foodstuff in the RPF.

"Muster" or "roll-call" would then take place. The shabby-looking gulag battalion pastiched military muster for review or inspection. Everyone is supposed to answer his name by "Hi Sir". Any delay, be it one second, is heavily sanctioned. The sorry spectacle of four RPF tottering columns was a wretched sight; twenty people struggling to stand to attention looked far more as an East German extermination camp than a glorious glittering "corps d'elite" Sea Org members. I could not help thinking that it was impossible avoiding to relate the cortege of mere shadows that we had become with the flashy group in full uniform pictured in the cult propaganda magazine and supposed to lead mankind on "the road of total freedom." Ironically, we were imprisoned and carrying the same chains we had all come to set man free from. Quite obviously, there was an horrendous booby trap I could not figure out.

The first standing order of the day was to clean the Fort Harrison stairs (approximately 15 floors) I was given a bucket, a floor cloth and a twin, in this case a very young lady barely18 years old.

As we started to clean the steps one by one on our knees, she asked me the reason of my RPF assignment. I answered in a relaxed off-hand manner that since I wanted to leave the best way out, I had come up with was to violate the SO ethical code, that is to say never have sexual relationship outside marriage.

— "I went out 2D" (esoteric language for having sexual intercourse.) "And you know what?" I added, "we didn't even have time 'to materialize' because they caught us just before we did!"

She burst out laughing and she told me her story. Roughly, her situation was the following; she didn't agree with some decisions from up lines management, she stood fast and didn't allow herself to be swayed (thus sent to the RPF).

Being born in the cult, having known but the cult, perspectives projected by her towards the exterior world were extremely reduced.

— "I have no diploma, I could never work in the 'wog world'" (racist term to signify everything that do not belong to the cult.)

— "Do you have any family outside?" I ventured.

— "Yes, my mother is in England. I don't know her and she is 'declared'" (a person declared is a person arbitrarily declared a "suppressive being" by the cult: i.e. ostracized.) "I don't have the right to see her. Besides, could I adapt myself in a country I do not know with a mother whose face I don't even recall? If I failed to get in tune everything would be over for me. I have no choice; I must endure."

This lucid, clear-minded 18 years old young lady, with her long blond hair saying that she had no future outside the cult was deeply moving. Suddenly, I realized the horror of isolation to which every youngsters born and raised in the cult are abandoned to. They can't escape, and how could they? They are prisoners inside of the life they will never get to know outside...

She glanced a fearful look at me: was I going to betray a confidence she shouldn't have ever made? I reassured her with a smile.

— "Don't worry. I won't say anything. Well, the outside world is not that terrible you know, after all, I've come from out there!"

I'll never forget her sad and resigned look. She said dreamy:

— "Yes, maybe, who knows?"

In fact, she was an Exec from CMO INT (high executive from the International Commodore Messengers Org, very senior org in the cult.) She was to stand up for me once when one of the RPF warder took it out on me with no apparent reason. She literally jumped on the bigot:

— "If you don't leave her alone immediately I swear I'll remember you when I get out of here and you know that I'll get out before you do!" (RPF warders are on RPF program too.)

Anyway, the guy was nailed to the spot; not only did he forget all about me but everyone kept a respectable distance ever since. It is true that in the cult complex hierarchy CMO INT execs have almost every power. Thinking it over, I think I gave her a little hope; it wasn't that bad outside...

The day would continue with the cleaning and scouring of every toilet of Fort Harrison building reserved to the "public" (scientologists coming from all around the world for "services") We actually "liked" to do it since it was deliciously air-conditioned inside and frankly, compared to other RPF hardship, sponging up sinks had almost become our idea of having fun! I only feared that someone should recognize me in such a slave get-up, with a hand brush, bent over a bowl-shaped part of a toilet.

A misfortune buddy almost fainted when cleaning a mirror; she stopped dead staring at her own image with horror. Well, the poor girl didn't already look well but now she had just turned green. We were all looking dreadful, dirty, shaggy-haired and were quite in a bad shape. The thing was to carefully avoid meeting our face. She started to cry. She just could not afford to breakdown. She was putting herself at risk by sobbing in front of scientologists. It was awfully "bad PR" (bad public relation). Suddenly one of us said with her nasal Oklahoma twang:

— "Well, what should I say? Look at me! I look like Frankenstein whereas you only look as if you had seen him!"

Everybody laughed and the poor girl somehow pulled herself together. She then cautiously kept avoiding every mirror reflection. There was a sort of solidarity but very rare and punctual. Relationships were mostly lived in terms of power struggle. Orders were constantly shouted, we were hustled from morning to evening, no slowing down even in the sun, sanctions would shower on us:

— "Take a lap! Take two laps! Take five laps!" ( a lap consists in running around the Fort Harrison garage ramp.)

The mirror young lady had a hard time to follow the pace. She would stumble over, fall, get herself hurt, and would always be behind the pack (late) and I would tremble for her. RPFer's bosun (warder) was pretending not to see her. So I thought that she would be spared as she was obviously of a frail nature. In fact, it's highly probable that her fall was programmed. I witnessed an odd conversation looking like bets in racecourses:

— "That one, I give her 2 weeks!"

— "I don't give her another week myself!"

Well I will never know what happens when the person can't take any longer (maybe she's assigned to the RPF's RPF) for I chucked out before it ever became my turn. I don't even dare to think about it... There were the dangerous tasks to perform. The garbage detail was particularly strenuous for the fair sex. Men would challenge us making fun of our poor efforts to get up enormous and filthy garbage cans. Some girls would exhaust themselves out in vain; I would just save my strengths protecting the best than I could my fingers, my feet, my body in general. An accident might happen and no treatment would be granted, furthermore there is no hospital in the RPF; there is not even an emergency kit.

There was a definite lack of everything; salary already reduced to the third part was suspended for the vast majority of the RPFers. So everybody would soon become indigent. Suddenly, you can no longer buy cigarettes (only unrestricted items allowed), your toothpaste, soap or deodorant... Would you allow me to stress that women still having their periods, find it extremely degrading not having enough cash to buy a box of tampax (some women suffer from cycle troubles due to stress and fatigue; same symptoms occurred in concentration camps.) At least, this is what I could experiment for myself and I was utterly happy to have some tampaxes in my car gloves locker. How humiliating it is to find oneself in complete poverty when one has given away a fortune for the cause and is subsequently working as a beast of burden! What a despair it is to notice one is reduced to slavery whereas one had come in pushed by the winds of freedom in order to align in the ranks of those working so that man would be set free!

The end of the day would be a piece of anthology. As I said, there was the special gulag training (5 hours training = 5 hours indoctrination) Such a training was mandatory of course and consisted in a cortege of forced confessions of imagined crimes and treacheries of every kind (mental torture called O/Ws). By any means, I knew that before I got there I had to restudy the same HCOBS & PLs (guru's nonsense) I already knew by heart. Well then, I shall continue to act stupid; I would spend hours on a 10 pages long bulletin called "Keeping Scientology Working" and pretended to be busy by turning the dictionary pages which would allow me to remain seated most of the time. You see in the RPF and other gulags, luxury is motionlessness. The thing is just to remain in complete stillness. Moreover, RPF's indoctrination is delayed but, who wants to think about it? Anyway, two RPFers had noticed my little game and as they were up to the same one themselves we would once in a while glance at each other in beaming mirth! That's what being called "mutual out ruds" (esoteric expression meaning a negative conniving attitude, being a party of something or someone.)

At the end of the day, coinciding with the end of special gulag indoctrination, we were supposed to — well at least it was highly encouraged — take the floor to say how pleased we all were and how wonderful and fabulous it was to follow a convict's program without forgetting to stress we were all thankful to hope that one day Redemption would occur thanks to the marvellous technology of the best friend Earth had ever bore! I always refused to participate to this farce where we had on top of that to applaud everyone's fantastic gains! I would simply put a mongoloid grin on my face which actually fitted very well on submission grounds and approval of every nonsense that could be heard. As long as I seemed to agree to the whole masquerade and as long as I looked vaguely stupid, I knew I would be allowed to vogue over relatively peaceful waters. Anyhow, I was delighted I had done some theatre acting when I wondered; under the false aspect of a tranquil lake, furious roaring fortieth currents and other howling fiftieth wind streams were preparing devastating tidal waves..."  You can read her full testimony as well as others here.

Before you go, I would like for you to hear in her own voice how this has effected her even after being out of Scientology for years.  The psychological pain that many of us have been is why we protest so hard.

Thanks for coming by.  I hope you have been educated a little.  You comments are welcomed as always.  Here are a few references by Hubbard about the RPF, just click the titles.

Little Girl Lost

There are many people who believe, or would like to believe, that all of the abuses of the "church" of Scientology started with David Miscavige and that everything was Heaven on Earth while Hubbard was still at the helm.  Please let me disabuse you of that notion.  There were many, many incidences of abuse,  abuse of power, sexual abuse, abuse and exploitation of children, and splitting apart of families long before the reign of Miscavige.  As a matter of fact, just about from the very beginning Hubbard ruled with an iron fist and woe to anyone who disagreed with his Captain Bligh ways, even a 10 year old girl.

This is the story of Sharone Stainforth.  Her story is heartbreaking.  Many of you have heard her story, but many, many more need to hear it.  This story should be at the ready if anyone tries to tell you of the virtues of Hubbard and Scientology.  She was the youngest person to ever sign a Sea Organization (The elite command structure of Scientology) contract.  She was also the youngest ever Commodore's (Hubbard) Messenger.  Instead of trying to tell you her story in my words, I will let you hear it from her. Please send this to your friends.  Everyone should hear it.

Warning:  Have your hankies ready.

As always, I look forward to your comments.  Thank you so much for being here.

Scientology Is Hypnotic Mind Control

If you have never been in Scientology, this is a chance for you and your friends to find out the truth before you think about throwing away your life and your money.  If you have been in, you know I am telling the truth.  Thank you for reading.

In his book Creation of Human Ability, Hubbard acknowledges that some people might think these drills hypnotic. But in actuality, he states, these drills "run out" hypnosis. "(They) induce no trances. People who think so simply don't know much about hypnotism."  - This statement is what is knows as an "offensive defense", or in the fight game, "getting there first-est with the most-est"  In effect, he is fighting the fight before there is a fight.

As I have said earlier, I was a highly trained hypnotist before I ever heard of Scientology.  I know hypnosis when I see it.  I had hoped, and Scientology promised that their techniques would be faster and more spot on than straight hypnosis.  I was wrong.  I know for sure that long before Hubbard started his "research" for Dianetics, the formula for hypnosis had already been codified by real scientific researchers.  It is simply this:

Reality + Imagination + Subconscious Cooperation = Hypnosis

Hubbard knew this and used it, not only for Dianetics, but for most auditing in one way or another.  Now let's take a look at how it works in your first Dianetics session.  You have had the personality test, and you have agreed that you need to change some things in your life.  You really feel that this organization can help you.  You know that you need help.  Reality and Subconscious cooperation are already working.  So you go into session and you are told to recall a time when, . . . .whatever.  Imagination kicks in.  You are already there.  You now are in a state of rapport with the auditor which is a light stage of hypnosis.  You are told that you are the one in control in a session.  It is true.  Guess what?  This is true in hypnosis also.  Furthermore, as much as Hubbard "said" there was nothing to Pavlov's Conditioned Response theories, he used them to further the goals of Dianetics and Scientology.  As a matter of fact, the person being counselled is conditioned time and time again, each time he goes into session the state of rapport is reinforced until all it takes is for him to pick  up the cans of the E-Meter and the auditor's voice to command "This Is The Session!", and he is once more in that trance state.  Ready for more post-hypnotic suggestions.  Mind control.  At least when you go to see a hypnotist you know you are going to be hypnotized.  So who is more honest?

So what about mind control or brain washing?  First off, let me give you a couple of quotes:


The changing of loyalty consists, in its primary step, of the eradication of existing loyalties.  This can be done in one of two ways. First,  by  demonstrating  that  previously  existing  loyalties  have brought about perilous physical circumstances, such as imprisonment, lack of recognition, duress, or privation, and second, by eradicating the personality itself. The first is accomplished by a steady and continuous indoctrination of the individual in the belief that his previous loyalties have been wasted on an unworthy source.  One of the primary instances of this is creating circumstances that apparently derive from the target of his loyalties, so as to rebuff the individual.  Part of this is the creation of a state of mind in the individual, by actually placing him under duress, and then furnishing him with false evidence to demonstrate that the target of his previous loyalties is, itself, the cause of the duress.  Another portion of this same method consists of defaming or degrading the individual whose loyalties are to be changed to the target of his loyalties, i.e., his superiors or government, to such a degree that this target, at length, actually does hold the individual in disrepute, and so does rebuff him and serve to convince him that his loyalties have been misplaced.  These are the milder methods, but have proven extremely effective.  The greatest drawback in their practice is that they require study and concentration, the manufacture of false evidence, and an operator’s time.


The best approach toward degradation in its first stages is the propaganda of "scientific approach" to Man.  Man must be consistently demonstrated to be a mechanism without individuality, and the idea must be programmed into a populace under attack that Man’s individualistic reactions are the products of mental derangement.  The populace must be made to believe that every individual within it who rebels in any way, shape, or form against efforts and activities to enslave the whole, must be considered to be a deranged person whose eccentricities are neurotic or insane, and who must be referred at once to treatment.

And for you Scientology staff and Sea Org members that have run afoul of Scientology's Ethics and Justice System, there is this:



There is a curve of degradation that leads downward to a point where the endurance of an individual is almost at an end, and any sudden action toward him will place him in a state of shock. Similarly, a soldier held prisoner can be abused, denied, defamed, and degraded until the slightest motion on the part of his captors will cause him to flinch.  Similarly, the slightest word on the part of his captors will cause him to obey, or vary his loyalties and beliefs. Given sufficient degradation, a prisoner can be caused to murder his fellow countrymen in the same stockade. Experiments on German prisoners have lately demonstrated that after seventy days of filthy food, little sleep, and nearly untenable quarters, the least motion toward the prisoner will bring about a state of shock beyond his endurance threshold and will cause him to receive hypnotically anything said to him.  Thus, it is possible, in an entire stockade of prisoners numbering into the thousands, to bring about a state of complete servile obedience, and without having to personally address each one, to pervert their loyalties and implant in them adequate commands to ensure their future conduct, even after their release to their own people. By lowering the endurance of a person, a group, or a nation, and by constant degradation and defamation, a state of shock can be
induced that will cause an adequate response to any command.

No, the above passages were not written by Hubbard, but he was so impressed by them that, for a while, he had his Orgs print the booklet and pass them out as a "public service".  The name of the booklet?  "BRAINWASHING -A Synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics"  Get it?  How many of us worked unceasingly, day after day and night after night at meaningless tasks to further the cause of Scientology?  How many of us wondered if we were going to have anything to eat at night, or have any time to eat it?  How many of us slept on floors because there was no room for any more beds in the places we were staying and we were grateful for even that.  And how many of us told our children "just go back there behind that desk and get a little sleep", when they complained that they were tired and wanted to go home.  Yes, even onto the next generation does the brainwashing continue.  But we thought we were doing the greatest good for the greater number of dynamics.

Thanks for coming by today.  I will have more for you later.  Please pass it along so others may not fall into the trap of Scientology.
