Church of Scientology Tried To Hire Blackops Security Firm As Recently As 1998
Oh dear lord, my spidey senses are tingling. Last week I made mention in a forum that it looked like someone from the Clearwater area had been doing a background check on me and I was none to happy about it. In most cases, unless you are applying for a job, or credit, there’s no legitimate reason for private citizens or even public companies to perform background checks on individuals. Unless of course they are hoping to find something scandalous about you for nefarious purposes. I chalked the whole thing up to paranoia and decided to think little of it.
I mean this is 2008, I live in the United States, I am a law-abiding citizen, I pay taxes, vote, and conduct myself in a responsible manner. What do I have to fear? Oh wait…..I also have written extensively about a group, who just so happen to be one of the most litigious organization in the world and who have a reputation of “fair gaming” their critics. But surely, they don’t do that anymore? They stopped harassing and silencing critics in the 70’s when they got busted for breaking into government offices and it was discovered they tried to frame a journalist named Paulette Cooper.
Not true it seems. In an article in Mother Jones, perhaps the last bastion of media willing to uncover corruption in this once great nation, it was revealed that as recently as 1998 the Church of Scientology tried to hire a “blackops” firm to do some “work” for them for a hefty price of $1million. Fortunately, even these scandalous dumpster-divers turned them down, but I’ll bet someone out there got that check and some poor soul seeking the truth was shut up nice and quiet like.
Here’s the excerpt:
By 1998, BBI had 22 employees working in five different divisions, along with subcontractors that it hired as operatives. The company also looked abroad for new opportunities and recruited more law enforcement and intelligence veterans. David Bresett, a former chief of the Secret Service’s foreign intelligence branch, joined the firm as a vice president. (A company biography noted that Bresett, while detailed to the CIA, had directed the investigation that identified the terrorists who blew up Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988.) The firm retained Vincent Cannistraro, a former chief of the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center, and earlier one of the government officials responsible for overseeing U.S. support of the Nicaraguan contras, as a consultant at $75,000 a year. “I did due diligence on a couple of customers,” Cannistraro recalls. On the advice of Cannistraro and Bresett, BBI turned down a $1 million job with the Church of Scientology, according to Dodd. (Bresett did not respond to a message asking for comment.) At one point, an employee named Tim Ward, who had been a sergeant in the Maryland state police, traveled to Saudi Arabia for the company, according to Dodd.
To get the full context of how bad these guys were, read the whole article at MotherJones, it’s chockful of goodness on how this firm dug around in the trash of such groups as Greenpeace. Nice to know the do-gooders of the world are perceived as a threat to our what…national security?
Do you think big dollar CoS donors like Nancy Cartright, Tom Cruise, John Travolta and crew know their dollars are being spent on covert operations? More importantly, do they care?

Holy crap!!!!!!! This is truly eye popping. And the IRS allows them tax exemption status??????? This can’t be legal of any religion or charity. Wake up CIA, FBI, IRS and other government agencies! What church needs to do this kind of stuff if not for illegal neferious purposes?

To answer your questions: 1. Yes, I think Cruise and Cartwright and Travolta know full well what their money is being used for. 2. No, I don’t think it bothers them, as long as they feel they’re benefiting from that patented $cientology system of getting out the body thetans. It should be obvious by now that $cientologists will ignore or excuse anything their fruity little club does.

Ah. Nothing to see here. All reputable “religious organizations” hire private investigators by the dozens to track down their critics… and shop around, looking to spend millions with mercenaries-for-hire like BBI.
It’s hardly surprising that they’d look for merc’s, given LRH’s own experience in Rhodesia.

that BBI thing is just a minute tip of a vastly larger field of icebergs.
for instance, shy daytons business incubator group(scnist founded earthlink with george soros money.. a scn fan himself).. spawned USBX in 2003 (approx) it joint ventured at the time with the CIA’s Carlyle group as an ‘investment bank’…that was on both web sites.
Now as the carlyle group financial division has lost 22 billion dollars due to bogus financial dealings as directed by USBX…. and the SF chronicle (feb 10 business page ) says is big enough to threaten the world banking system (because of the 32 to 1 derivitives it spun from that)… and given the cult lies, losses are most likely limitlessly larger as the derivitives chain react…. its messy.
Carlyle is of course a well known CIA buiness front, and in bed with of course all the major mercinary groups such as the glorious BBI and Black Water etc.
There is a lot more at stake here than davie miscaviges patooot… due to the current world financial crisis, begun on fraud in the US.. this will get nasty fast, with scn involved in more a little bit of it…. scn you see is the ideal money laundering / espionage vehicle today… tax exempt in many situations, no disclosure required in others, international, with members who can be casually infiltrated into business and govt then security checked on a meter later to get any sort of espionage desired.
and this accomplished not from single informants, but dozens in a company who dont know each other, in different posts, with the data triangulated to form the most effective espionage operation known to man..
thats also the current FBI and greek govt view.
