Glosslip Radio is extremely excited to have ex-Scientologist Marc Headley back for a second interview.

Marc, who spend 15 years in the Church of Scientology’s Sea Organization is working on a major project which will intimately detail his experiences within the church and working closely with RTC president and Scientology leader David Miscavige.

The last interview we did with Marc has reached legendary status, having over 12000 people listen to the show. Tonight’s show will focus on the Scientology cruise ship, the Freewinds and the current scandal surrounding they cover-up attempts by the Church regarding a massive asbestos contamination on that ship. For coverage of this story, see Glosslip’s reports.

But wait, there’s more…

Ok, “Dust In The Wind” it isn’t, but it sure makes me wonder if some members of the rock group Kansas weren’t also members of a well-known “religion” we like to refer to as a cult.

Kansas - Fair Exchange

Your credit is good if you’re a member
Just a token to help the people remember
All we’ve done for you
Nobody buys and nobody sells
And nobody speaks ’til the chairman tells you
We’re gonna be your religion, throw those others away

(Chorus)
Fair exchange for your freedom
Fair exchange for your life
Hail the new perfect order
Ending trouble and strife
No one can refuse our offer, it’s a fair exchange

You’re on file, our computer
Knows what’s best for you
We will provide the solution, for the rest of you
Safety and peace, the terror will cease
Forget everything the fanatics tell you
Now you can worship the leader
All he wants is your soul

Fair exchange for your freedom
Fair exchange for your life
Hail the new perfect order
Ending trouble and strife
No one can refuse our offer, it’s a fair exchange

We’re under control, never worry
Always watching you
Now you’re a part of the program
We’ll be using you
What do you want? We know what you need
Get out of line, we eliminate you
All for the good of the people
Better one man should die

Fair exchange for your freedom
Fair exchange for your life
Hail the new perfect order
Ending trouble and strife
No one can refuse our offer, it’s a fair exchange

Bad song is bad, but sucky cult sucks more.

[MitsuToo strikes again]

I got an phone call about Mark Bunker’s YouTube account being suspended. Unfortunately, I was away dealing with domestic duties. It seems we all waited on pins and needles for the final video of the Jason Beghe video promised to be released sometime today.

Instead, what appears to have happened is as soon as Mark uploaded the video his account was suspended, I could be wrong about the timing, but this is what I have been told. I talked at great length about this with my insider contact and they made it clear this is not a YouTube vs. Mark Bunker issue, but a YouTube policy being handled like any other account.

Clearly someone complained about Mark’s account violating YouTube policy (gee I wonder who that would have been, bet it rhymes with mimosa) and their policy as it seems is to immediately close his account and review it per the violation.

It’s likely they will find Mark’s account NOT in violation and it will be reinstated. In the meantime, we all know who the real villain is in all this, so I don’t need to say it. Suffice it to say this is the game we all must play in this battle of truth vs. evil cults.

If I hear any more details, I will post it immediately. For now we wait.

Update: I forgot something I saw earlier on OCBM. Someone posted they’d received an pm on YouTube about why Tory Christman’s account was suspended and antagonistically accused her of inciting religious bigotry (as I recall) they also warned Mark Bunker’s would be next. This was EARLIER in the day, BEFORE his account was suspended and clearly I consider that a threat. If I am wrong about this, please feel free to email me or leave a comment. I will try and find the thread and link to it.

Operation Reconnect is the 3rd, and from my perspective, the most important mission of the internet activist group Anonymous. Anonymous members will be gathering around the globe Saturday, April 12 to protest the Church of Scientology and its practice of “disconnection”.

Disconnection is a practice in Scientology, in which a Scientologist severs all ties between themselves and friends, colleagues, or family members that are deemed to be antagonistic towards Scientology. The practice of disconnection is a form of religious shunning.

Disconnection has sometimes ended marriages and separated children from their parents

There are families RIGHT NOW, who are unable to communicate with loved ones simply because of this formal and destructive written policy from the Church of Scientology. Children are missing parents, parents missing children, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, friends — all profoundly affected because of a draconian measure put forth by an organization which seeks to control all aspects of its members.

Glosslip Radio will be discussing this on Sunday, April 13 during our regular 10:00 pmEST timeslot and have well-known ex-Scientologists who will be calling in to tell us how the policy is enforced and the damage it causes. More on that coming up.

When will they ever learn? You just can’t mess with the interbutts. First it was YouTube, who cowered in fear, when it suppressed free speech and fair use by pulling the leaked Tom Cruise Video, then it was Ebay allowing the Church of Scientology to yank post-consumer e-meters off its website, now it’s Amazon pulling negative reviews of Dianetics.

These are enormous, multi-million dollar companies acquiescing to a so-called religion, which has the structure of a pyramid scheme with a rich history of illegal and collusive activities to defraud and manipulate its members and the public at large.

The perceived threat which has caused Ebay, YouTube, Amazon and even social network sites like Digg to cow-tow to the CoS is litigious. The Church of Scientology has a history of socking individuals and corporations alike with spurious lawsuits which they either don’t intend to pursue, have no hope of winning and use simply to frighten people into doing what they want.

This author documented his interaction with AMAZON.COM on his reviews of Dianetics being deleted repeatedly, this is only an excerpt, I suggest you read the whole thing:

On February 21, someone posted on Reddit that Amazon had deleted (virtually) all negative reviews of the book again. Mine was included again. This time I was sincerely surprised and disappointed, because I think my review was completely legitimate and I restricted my comments to the substance of the book itself, rather than any attack on the author or speculation on how this was an elaborate ruse to become rich. So, I wrote them again.

A review I recently wrote of Dianetics and it was deleted. I was told this was because I discussed authors and their intentions in the review. I re-wrote it focusing exclusively on the content of the book and the style of writing and this review has been deleted as well, even though over 150 users and 99% found it useful. Please explain to me why this review was deleted.

Response (paraphrased):

I’ve checked both the reviews for “Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health” and see that they doesn’t follow our guidelines.

Your latest review of “Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health” was removed because your comments in large part focused on your personal opinions of the subject matter, rather than reviewing this item.

We provide our customer reviews section for you to comment on the merits of the item and its style. We ask that you not use it as a place for a discussion of the subject matter…What I can suggest is that you resubmit your review, restricting your comments to critically analyzing the content of the item.

Is this not the United States? Are we not living in the land which birthed modern democracy, where the will of the people decide the outcome? The will of the people is clear. The hierarchal head of Scientology’s sole purpose is to control its members thoughts, words and deeds, manipulate its image and extract as much money out of those individuals too emotionally weak or vulnerable to see past its false guises.

If this were Microsoft, Exxon, Google, Enron or any other powerful entity, would we allow a systematic aversion of the truth and fairness to continue unchecked simply because of a “perceived” threat? And have we forgotten the most apparent element in all this? THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIGION FOR GOD’S SAKE. Religions by their nature shouldn’t frighten people into silence regardless of their actions. Therefore I conclude this ISN’T A RELIGION. I think we know what the CoS is, and with history as our teacher, we will be ashamed we allowed this shadow of darkness and depravity to lurk in the corners of our society for too long.

Since when are religions allowed to run rough-shod over our legal system?

Enough is enough, wake up mainstream media, wake up federal government, WAKE UP CLEARWATER AND HOLLYWOOD, you are being taken over by people who believe in aliens and want to “clear the planet” of non-Scientologists and obliterate psychiatry. Now that should frighten you.

Uh Oh. I always knew there was a cult in Oprah waiting to come out. In all fairness, there is likely really wonderful spiritual awakening which can be found through this “openness.” So long as people enter in it with an open mind and do their own thinking.

Oprah is just a woman, not a Divine being. As long as she doesn’t start charging, then following Oprah is ok, but she should be watched like any iconic personality. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t advocate any religion, Christian or otherwise. I advocate free will and the right to choose. I would prefer the ending of this video to be omitted.
