YouTube Suspends Scientology Critic’s Account. Tory Christman Silenced? No Way

Tory Christman, more commonly known as “Magoo” on the internets, has had her YouTube account suspended without cause. Tory is a former Scientologist who worked on super-secret projects for OSA (Office of Special Affairs) for the Church of Scientology and has been targeted by Scientology using their “fair game” policy to silence their critics.

Tory posts videos on YouTube detailing her experiences in the CoS, frequently negative and often damaging to their already pock-marked reputation. Tory is also a favorite among the internet-based group Anonymous and has become affectionately referred to as “Wise Glasses Lady” as a nod to her male counterpart Mark Bunker, aka “Wise Beard Man.” For a group as diverse as Anonymous, singling out central figures as voices of reason and sources of wisdom has become part of their agenda and some of these figures serve as “guide” in this leaderless operation. Because of her profile in this movement, it seems Tory has now become a target by what may be the work of her former CoS bosses, OSA.

Here’s what Tory said in a forum on Enturbulation.org about the suspension:

In the 1990’s the “Church of Scientology” asked me to do them a favor, so they said. Basically it evolved into my opening up Phony accounts that my auditor, Bill YAUDE, told me were being used, “To Handle the Critics”. This was ALL “TOTALLY TOP SECRET Tory. You cannot tell ANY Executives, Auditors, DM, Heber, RTC, Ethics officers or ANY Public, including my own husband”. When Yaude showed me this deal I had to sign, I remember well looking at him and saying, “This sounds like Guardian’s Office Crap” (Where 11 Scientologists went to jail).

He looked at me and said, “Tory, LOOK at me! It’s me, your friend and auditor—would *I* do anything wrong?” Honestly, then, I couldn’t imagine him doing anything bad—so I said, “ok” I will.

They were always to be opened with money orders, so there could be NO trace to C of S. I had to ALWAYS use a phone card—so no one could trace this. They wouldn’t tell me what they were used for, but he promised me it was “All legal-trust me”. I did. At first Scientology was flying me to different cities, to open up phony accounts.

Then they realized we could use the phone, so they’d give us (this girl and I) phone books from different areas. The plan was to take *a* name from the area (or make one up)—mainly get an address that was local, and adifferent phone number. Then call an ISP and insist “We need to open up an account TODAY as our father is moving there, he’s very sick and we must beable to communicate with him” or whatever we had to say, so they’d say, “OK”. We’d get the e-mail set up and a password, and send them the money order—and pass it onto OSA___Part of Scientology. They’d then use it to spam ARS–a newsgroup many X-Scientologists and critics were talking on. (That part I didn’t know–as Yaude told me, “I won’t tell you what we’re doing with them, so then IF you have to get
deposed, you can honestly say, “I don’t know”).

Also, Scientology terrorizes their members into NOT looking on the Net, especially back then, when it was rather new. 2 people went “insane” and Yaude told me, “They were reading the Net, Tory”. Ok, years later I spoke to both. One was drugged and reverse audited —driving her insane. She had
also worked for OSA< and then woke up---so they tried to shut her up. Didn't work, her story is on Operation Clambake - The Inner Secrets Of Scientology "Catherine's story".

(Yaude had also removed the Net Nanny from my computer, explaining how it was there to "help keep the bad stuff off your lines")

Ok, I think it was when I was ordered to "Not use your own name on the phone, and never call us by our names". Bill was I think "Jack" and Gavino (The Sea Org criminal actually running to deal, no doubt via Davey boy out of Gold) was something else.

I finally went on the net and LOOKED on ARS and sure enough, there were thousands of food recepies. In between that, were people saying, "Those aren't my words! Scientology is changing what I said!"

I'll never forget sitting there stunned. OH MY GAWD. SCIENTOLOGY IS USING ME TO STOP FREE SPEECH.

And I CAN NO LONGER TRUST MY AUDITOR--the person I trusted the most.

I'd signed something that I'd "Never ever tell ANYONE" about this Top Secret project---so I knew I was on my own.

So I called up Bill and just said, "Bill---I have to get back to working". He said, 'Ok, fine---just come on over, and fill us in on everything at this apt in Glendale". It sounded fine, so I headed over that night.

I walked into a dark----odd feeling room. It was ALL Men, all 'OT's" I knew. I sat down, and suddenly the door smashed open, and in flew Gavino, this skinny, Nazi like guy, yelling:

I TOLD YOU ABOUT HER!! I TOLD YOU!!!

Shocked, I looked at Bill (my then best friend and auditor) and said, "Told you WHAT???) At the time I was still truly a "True believer" and although MANY things had proven to be BULLSHIT_----including this, *I* still didn't fully get how bad Scientology was.

After about an hour of they grilling me, yelling at me---I finally ran out, with Bill running after me. Something snapped that night. My own personal Truman Show really cracked in half, right then.
Only there was no light----for me to see---and that took about 6 more months for me to FULLY SEE AND FACE who these mobsters really are. I Left Scientology, forever, and the main reason I left was over Free speech and they trying to stop it.

Sure, there were many other things wrong with Scientology---many I've written about. However this issue was THE Thing that pushed me over the edge. Ironic that now, today, they get my youtube site suspended.

But Know this: *I* TORY CHRISTMAN Was sent out BY the organization known as the church of Scientology---to OPEN UP THE PHONY ACCOUNTS THAT WERE USED TO STOP FREE SPEECH.

So for me, there's no: "Oh that wasn't OSA!" FUCK THAT____I KNOW DAMNED WELL IT'S OSA!

And I write this to you all for this reason: Granted, They've managed to get my ToryMagoo44 Youtube site suspended. But you have to know THEY (OSA) have a program to SHUT DOWN ****EVERY***
Single Critic of Scientology. (Just so you get how covert they are.........when I finally saw those food recopies, I called up Bill. I said, "Isn't it going to be obvious that these are made by C of S/OSA? He
said to me: "No, we've covered that! We're spamming tons of OTHER newsgroups, too, so they won't know it's us"). That's deep---------very deep, and scary too, when you get just how far they will go to "Get the job done".

So don't call Youtube because of me. I'm fine, and I'll be fine, one way or the other. But CALL YOUTUBE because ***IF** Scientology can get away with this, they shall copy it over and over with
person after person.

This isn't a Tory issue. This IS A FREE SPEECH issue! And it's an issue...............for every single person who cares about Free Speech, and doesn't want to live under the rulings/"Ethics Codes" BULLSHIT LIES of Scientology.

Tory, I will happily host your videos, as would thousands of people. YouTube will have to shut down A LOT of accounts to silence the vast number of critics against the Church of Scientology. So we have YouTube, Amazon, Digg, Ebay all going down like cheap hookers for the Church of Scientology. Only Google remains neutral against this vast conspiracy to silence the internet of all religious critics. These HUGE technology companies will use “religious bigotry” as their excuse for shutting people up.

No one *wants* to be seen as a religious bigot right?

Except they fail to see what those inside, outside and all around the globe are starting to see: the Church of Scientology is NOT a religion. They are a money-making scheme designed to take advantage of people using poorly researched science which has been proven to damage the psyche of those who use their “tech.” You can’t control the INTERNETS anymore CoS.

tick, tick, tick, tick….hear that? That’s time running out for you Church of Bad Science and Dupery. Feel free to bombard YouYube with well-crafted letters concerning free speech.

UPDATE: TORY’S ACCOUNT IS BACK. YAY!

I have an account with YouTube that I ONLY created so I could watch videos about Scientology and ocassionally comment. Not a single comment was abusive and I made just 2. I never ever uploaded a video to YouTube and yet my account was permanently disabled. No reason given. I thought perhaps it was because I had the word satan in the login name. I don’t know. I haven’t gotten an answer. Wouldn’t even know who to call.
Satan with a lisp IS Thetan, you know.
Is that why my account was permanently disabled? I don’t know. But it’s kind of strange……

Scientology is bad, we all know it.

Comment by April — April 16, 2008 @ 10:22 am

Superb article. The CoS keeps on trying to control information, as that’s they way they control thought. They can’t wrap their heads around the fact that you can’t get rid of information on the internet. It’s like a hydra. Cut off one head, and 10 more grow. It is enjoyable to watch them shoot themselves in the foot over and over and over again though.

D, you can e-mail YouTube as a journalist and ask for answers. press@youtube.com

I’d say “cowards”, marcab.

Excellent work D! Thanks so much for following this up and staying with the story. Magoo has little to worry about, there are other sites and other ways to get her words in front of the people. But YouTube needs to understand that people are just not going to sit back and take censorship in any way.

I too have created a Youtube account for the sole purpose of viewing and commenting on Scientology videos. As of last night my account was still active and I am willing to host the videos of Wise Glasses Lady should she require it. If my account gets shut down, there are plenty of other alpha-numerical combinations I can use to immediately open a new account. I also suggest people begin to utilize other video sharing sites as well. Vimeo may still be untouched by the evil grip of the cult.

tried calling ytube but was so bogged down in the fetid mess of options that I gave up. Google is a disease.

Holey @#$@#$!

I recall that time period in the late 1990’s when all of a sudden, almost overnight, countless newsgroups were destroyed by never ending streams of spam posts— OMFG!! NOW WE FIND OUT THE TRUTH. THE COS DESTROYED THE NEWSGROUPS.

Scientologist talks openly about aggressive tactics of Scientology. Yep, this guy is a real Scientologist.

You tube wants what it is good for business. You know…Jackass type stunts, soft politcal commentary and crazy-crying-britney spears fans. Not content that tells the truth and pisses of a fascist, evil organization that sues at the drp off the hat. I’m just surprised they didn’t do it sooner.

Apparently free speech is only free if it makes money.

I also opened an account on youtube a few years back for the sole purpose of watching and commenting on Co$ videos. I’ve been an critical of $cientology since I joined, I’m surprised they haven’t banned me yet. I think someone did try to crack my account once, because I was sent an email, I think someone was trying to guess my password.

I do use my account on Youtube for other things as well, which may HOPEFULLY make it harder for OSA to get me banned. I’ve been a member for two years now, I’ve personalized/customized my channel, have lots of favorites, playlists, subscriptions, and etc. So they can’t just accuse me of being a “religious bigot”, you all know their standard MO.

I do dislike a lot of youtube’s policies, and if there were another video publishing website that has a audience as big as youtube I’d close my account and go there in an instant. There isn’t however so that’s why I remain on youtube. I think Tory should just reopen a new account like Mark Bunker. I know it sucks but youtube has the largest audience.

I wonder what video that she made got her banned. I know they’ve (OSA) been bulling/harassing Tory for awhile now on youtube. They’ve created many accounts using her name, just for that sole purpose. I don’t know if those accounts still exist, or if they’ve been banned too.

Overall though this works in our favor. This is just another reminder of why we speak out against the Co$, why we picket, and protest against them. Other people will learn about how $cientology treats people, and suppresses free speech. More people will join our side of the debate, which we’re bring more and more into the public square. $cientology can’t withstand the public scrutiny.
