Riverside County Officials In Cahoots With Church of Scientology
A couple weeks back Glosslip posted an exclusive breaking story about arrests at the Church of Scientology compound in Hemet, California called Gold Base. High profile Scientology critic and Emmy-award winning journalist Mark Bunker was subjected to a “citizen’s arrest” executed by Riverside sheriff’s deputies for essentially “meandering” too long in front of the gate. Bogus indeed.
What is not bogus however is the connections between Riverside County Commissioner Jeff Stone and the Church of Scientology. Investigative reporter Nathan Baca for ABC affiliate station KESQ dug deeper into the hows and why of a recent proposal to ban all public protests outside the compound. Please watch both videos for a revealing look at what Scientology is trying to hide and how Commissioner Stone is complicit in covering up the illegal actions of the Scientology organization.
The report also includes an incredibly awesome interview with Scientology spokesperson Tommy Davis. Talk about squirming. Nathan Baca deserves some serious kudos and footrubs for his brave reporting. Dude, word of advice, watch your back. Scientology’s only good a one thing, harassing critics.

Rumor has it he’s already absconded.

Here’s some scilon Kryptonite to keep them from spamming these comments:
The “Clear Cognition”: You mocked up your own reactive mind.
The “OT 8 Cognition”: You mocked up your past lives, and your body thetan infestation.

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together?
What’s that sound I’m hearing? Why it’s the death-knell of scientology.
Comment by inb4terryeo — March 12, 2009 @ 2:33 pm
Ahhh yes.. let the truth unfurl like our great flag.
This my friends is just the tip of the iceburg.
There is a shit storm headed for Scientology and it’s about to get a whole lot steamier! P-U!
The days of hiding all this deception is coming to an end. People are speaking out, people are leaving, the media has realized they can report without getting fair gamed, and if they do they wil report it.
People are finally listening to what ex members and protestors have been saying all along. Something smells REAL rotten. And that something is Scientolgoy.
Here’s some more kryptonite…
OTIII Level in a nut shell.. 75 million years ago there was an evil galactic war lord name Xenu who wanted to limit the population on his planet, so he ffoze the beings in glycol and loaded them into DC8 airplanes and dropped them in a volcano on earth and then dropped hydrogen bombs on them , and then collected them and these “thetans” were forced to watch HOURS of other religions…. and these thetans went around attatching themselves to people.
THIS IS WHY YOU ARE USING THE E-METER NOW SCIENTOLOGISTS!
TO GET RID OF THETANS!
Think I am wrong??
Are you feeling woozy from reading that?
Just wait till you get that OTIII packet in your hand and read what is says…. boy will you be pissed when you find out it’s all what has been said right here.
YOU HAVE BEEN DUPED!
Do not climb up the bridge.
IT only contains MORE levels of removing MORE body thetans!
SAVE your money!
CONNECT with your family they miss you!
BE FREE!

@ Biasfree
That was the best that the scientologists could throw out for Staturday? A backhanded sarcastic insult? Lame.
At least the ones over on the KESQ website are putting up some kind of fight. Even if that kind of fight is like the kind a retard puts up when he doesn’t want to do something his handler tells him to. What I guess I’m saying is that the KESQ Scilons are retard strong compared to you.

As I once said to a particular wikipedic editor some years ago. Idiot, Beanbrain, Dogfood.
You haven’t got it, you aren’t going to get it, the only element your reply about is antagonism and if it weren’t for people more literate than you in the world, we wouldn’t have traffic tickets in the first place.
Comment by Terryeo — March 12, 2009 @ 6:13 pm
@ Terryeo
“if it weren’t for people more literate than you in the world, we wouldn’t have traffic tickets in the first place.”
Wait… WHAT??
1) what the hell are you referring to in your post? The article? The writer of the article? The writers of all the comments? A particular comment? Maybe you should make it clear WHO you are addressing before going off on your usual brand of crazy
2) That part I quoted makes zero sense. I’m going to try putting it in different words (and relate it to myself). “If it weren’t for people who could read better then me, we wouldn’t have traffic tickets.” What the fuck does that even mean in the context of either the article, the videos or the comments?
I mean seriously at least try to make sense in your replies.
Also, didn’t you get banned from Wikipedia for being a general douche? It’s not hard to see why.
PS: “the only element your reply about is antagonism” That’s not how normal people speak. That’s cult-speak. You probably don’t even realize you do it but all your posts are so loaded with scientology speak that your point never gets across. The only people that can understand a word you say are 1) Scientologists, 2) Former Scientologists or 3) Anonymous and that’s only because we’ve had to read all the shit you guys put out. Every single one of your points EVER is always lost on the average reader.

“…the only element your reply about is antagonism…”
Hey Terryeo, if you are gonna make comments about literacy, maybe you should make sure you construct your sentences a bit better before making an even bigger fool of yourself than usual.
Or did you do it like that for the “lutz”?
You make your cult look so bad, I really do think you must actually be a covert anon. Happy Staturday!!!
Comment by liz — March 12, 2009 @ 8:52 pm
It’s just how they were installed.
WHAT?! Those are not cheap little barbs, they are monsterous spikes, those have to be expensive…no way they would just accidentally have had them installed backwards! I can’t believe they think this answer will fly.
Oh this is getting goooood.
Comment by aalmyer — March 12, 2009 @ 11:12 pm
Seems one point is being overlooked, IMO. It is NOT only Anonymous that’s protesting the Church of Scientology and all of this cult’s brutalities, abuses and psycho crap. It’s also many, many brave ex-Scientologists who used to belong to that hell-hole who were abused or forced to sever connections to their families and who finally said ENOUGH! Still many can’t come forward for fear of consequences and Anonymous has made it clear that that’s why they are there, they are strong and will not back down. I personally thank you for that.
Comment by Iwasthere — March 13, 2009 @ 1:10 am
Has anyone STILL not asked supervisor Stone if has ever taken any Scientology courses? There’s info on that net that says he may have (unless there’s another Jeff Stone out there). I’d like to see him answer that question truthfully. Anyone know if it’s been asked?
Comment by leonato — March 13, 2009 @ 1:36 am
First Baca and his little local newscast scorch the cult like no big network has ever done and then, on the same evening, John Stewart gives what will go down as the defining interview (grilling?) of the great decession. Brokaw and Couric, eat your hearts out.
Comment by Artoo45 — March 13, 2009 @ 3:06 am
Also for Terryeo.
I am an ex-Sci and I don’t even understand what you are talking about.
But I don’t think Terryeo will be returning here. Right now he probably thinks this site is too enturbulating. Soon, he may even confront the nonsense he has been fed and come around.
I have often thought that the collapse of Scientology is near but like OT powers, their collapse always seems to be just around the corner. Factoring that in, it really does seem like Scientology is about to keel over doesn’t it?
Even Tommy Davis will learn shame.
Comment by William Hunt — March 13, 2009 @ 9:13 am
WOW This is getting good people!
In part 5, Tommy Douche bag Davis admits that Nathan Bacca is attakcing his “religious beliefs”!!!
OH SNAP!
That means Davis admitted what Bacca was saying about OTIII was his religious beliefs!
FINALLY the cult admits their beliefs about space aliens ect…
This IS the tip of the iceburg like “Cult Tips” said in the other comment. There is a HUGE chunk of ice floating under the water and its about to melt!
The dirty laundry of the cult is finally being aired out and it really stinks!
ok, I will stop you get the point!
BWA HA HA HA!!!! It’s good not to be in the cult!
Comment by CULT A COMIN' DOWN — March 13, 2009 @ 9:45 am
anonymous is like KKK.
They wear masks too.
They don,t burn crosses on your lawn because they are anti-religious but they do other creepy things that normal people find creepy too.
A bunch of creepy Haters with bad intentions. FOR SURE!
Comment by dave — March 13, 2009 @ 12:10 pm
LOL! Dave are you still embarassing yourself with that nonsense?
Oh yeah, that should negate the fact that this is the most damning expose of your cult since TIME Magazine’s piece in 1991. For sure!!

Dave how come you made that same post, verbatium on the KESQ boards? I mean, do they have you just paste that on every website that has open comments.
Also, how come you can’t debate Scientology on its merits?
Comment by A non a moose — March 13, 2009 @ 12:57 pm
scientology has merits?
Comment by tiger — March 13, 2009 @ 3:00 pm
how about that councilman using propaganda for evidence?
he is disgusting
you know he has got to be a scientologist or at the very least, on their payroll
Comment by tiger — March 13, 2009 @ 3:02 pm
@ Dave
See this is what I’m talking about (as I said when you posted it on the KESQ comments yesterday) do you care so little about what you’re actually saying that you cut & paste the same thing across multiple news stories for months on end?
You had the same comment in the SP Times articles about Kyle Brennen and that was over a month ago now. You obviously don’t care much about your opinion, why should we?
If you truly had an opinion on the stuff discussed here, why not say it? Why not counter points made in the article, or the videos? Why not try to put across valid arguements instead of this boring cut/paste job you’ve been doing for months now?
On a more scientology related point Dave, this is what you call communication? Saying the same thing over and over until it blends into the background like white noice? Is this confronting and shattering supression? A couple sentences and then running away? Is this what you got into Scientology for? To sit at a computer all day typing Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V (that’s copy/paste) on every article critical of scientology? Is this everything you thought Scientology would be?

Dave has also made the exact same comment to other stories on this site. I recognized it right away. Maybe it indicates that he and Terryeo are losing interest in defending this crazy cult because they know its going down.
Thanks! Glosslip for another great informative article! I appreciate your good work!
Comment by Mom — March 13, 2009 @ 5:15 pm
TOM is gunna be sent to the RPF for the OTIII confirmation… EPIC! I wonder if he is crying into his pillow right now or if David confiscated it as punishment. Maybe he is being over boarded
Imma be having sweet dreams, visions of Dave on Tom violence, and tom running laps, chased by guards on bikes.
Comment by Maxwell Creamers — March 16, 2009 @ 12:46 am
Isn’t it interesting how every article on this site gets about 0-5 comments on average, but all Scientology articles get 30+?
Y’all should put @ least 1 sentence about Scientology into every article, even if it’s completely unrelated, just to drive up traffic.
Comment by J.R. LeMar — March 16, 2009 @ 3:54 pm
Gee, thanks. Any puppies you want to kick while you’re at it?
Comment by k — March 16, 2009 @ 4:29 pm
Hey JRL, if those are the kind of comments you are going to leave, don’t bother. Not to mention, a lot of sites, much larger than ours get very few comments and most of those that they do get are filled with spam and bullshit. Our comments are monitored and typically on topic.
Also, we interact with our readers, hence why we get “real” comments on ALL of our articles.
If you want a Scientology only site, there are plenty out there, but this is GOSSIP site, which frequently puts up Scientology posts because we both are aware they are a celebrity cult.
Seriously, think before you post, because I can’t get those two minutes I spent responding to you back.
Thanks!

Well, if y’all thought I was trying to slam this website in someway, you were mistaken. Obviously, *I* check this site all the time, so how could I make fun of someone else for doing it? I just thought it was kinda funny to note that every Scientology article ends up getting the most comments (including from me, sometimes).
Comment by J.R. LeMar — March 17, 2009 @ 6:28 pm
Sorry if I was curt in my original response…just having one of those days, y’know?
But you aren’t telling me anything I haven’t already noticed. It is true that CoS articles do get more traffic and more responses…but then, they kind of come built-in with their own fan base, so to speak. Word spreads fast in the anon community whenever a new story slamming the CoS comes out, and since Dawn has done such a superlative job at reporting their atrocities and staying on the story when mainstream media has moved away, of course people do show up and comment in droves. Plus, there are not that many anti-CoS sites, and the ones that do exist seem to work together anyway, so there isn’t much competition. anons seem to be more outgoing and outspoken than your usual celeb site readers.
In comparison, people who are interested in most celebs aren’t necessarily sitting around waiting for a big news story to hit about their favorite star. They might belong to fan clubs or sites about their favorite celeb, but the dynamic is usually a little different; it’s much looser and not as tightly-knit. Unless they are true fanatics (and we do get some!) who are out to totally act fanatical, either pro or con, they usually read and move on; sometimes they comment, sometimes they don’t. That, and celeb sites any more are a dime a dozen. I’m fighting for exposure in a huge market, doing my own thing…I don’t like short blurb posts, I like to put a bit of thought into what I write, so the result is less on quantity and hopefully more on quality. But it is often the short blurb post sites that get high comments…the people who run them often let the commenters do the writing for them. Many times, they just throw a story out in five minutes or so; it is the people in the comments who do most of the actual writing/opinion-forming.
But there are some non-CoS articles here which generate a lot of discussion: Nick Hogan, Brad and Angelina/child hoarding, Casey Anthony, that whole Ellen/puppy thing, the dog-cloning fiasco, the recent Octomom articles. I remind myself of that every so often, and I remind myself that traffic is the true barometer, not number of comments. One set of articles isn’t better or worse than others (not saying that is what you said, I’m just thinking out loud); they are just different and they reach out to different types of people.
I’m hoping more of the people who come here for CoS stories will stick around and read some of the other things we have to offer here. Dawn writes a ton of fabulous stuff that has nothing to do with the CoS, and I think sometimes people don’t see it or realize it. But then…when I read at other celeb sites, I don’t always leave comments either.
Comment by k — March 17, 2009 @ 7:00 pm
I admit, I first found this site because of Scientology. There’s another website, called cultnews.net, which I check everyday. And it links to web articles from different sites that talk about various cults, including Scientology (& Mormons, polygamous churches, etc.) Often they link to articles on this site. In fact, this article was the top link last Friday.
So that’s where I first found it, early last year. And started checking it out. I eventually bookmarked this site directly, and I do read other articles, I just don’t often have anything to add, which is why I don’t comment. I usually only jump in if I think one of y’all is being a little too harsh (like with all of the Angelina-bashing, which I think is overboard, or the recent article about Faye Dunaway & Hilary Duff). But, other than that, I just read, and then move on. That’s probably what most folks do.
Comment by J.R. LeMar — March 17, 2009 @ 8:08 pm
And I know most people do just read and move on. I do that a lot on other sites. I’ve been to cultnews and they have a lot of good stuff on many cults, not just the CoS. I try and keep up on the latest news.
I talk a lot, don’t mind me.
