It really is amazing the enclaves of support from around the globe. Anonymous really is everyone and everywhere. If you want to know more about why they folks are protesting an “alleged” religion, I encourage you to check out Xenu.net, Xenutv.com, Lermanet.com and WhyAreTheyDead.net. Also, I highly recommend, ExScientologykids.com.
This isn’t religious bigotry, this is exposing a fraud wrapped in the cloak of religion as a form of deception and protection. Scientology is FAR worse than you think. Google it.
With a group of five, these committed members of Anonymous in Israel represented the Middle East well. Scientology may be an American-made tragedy, but their destructive presence affects the whole globe. Remember, Scientology’s goal is to clear the planet on undesirables, Anonymous goal is to save the world from a cruel cult.
Five Anons = Epic Win. Way to go my ancestral brethren!
Body Thetans? Bridges costing $350K? None for me, thanks!
More down-stat news for Xenu-fearing folks. It seems Tom Cruise’s Church of Scientology has lost another one its wealthy “donors” as news of Australian media mogul James Packer stepping away from the money-making front group emerges on the internet.
James Packer, a close friend of Tom Cruise, was recruited into the organization during a vulnerable time in his life. Recently divorced from his first wife, humbled by some bad financial deals in his family’s multi-million dollar media company, Packer was ripe for the Cruise picking, but like any decent mogul, Packer and his money have seen the light. Details from a Sydney Morning Herald:
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.
A couple weeks ago I tried an experiment, it was a huge failure, and I am that much wiser for it. But not wanting to entirely ban the idea, I am opening Glosslip up for Saturday as a reader-generated content day in honor of the May 10 global protest from Anonymous. I know lots of people will be protesting, but some of us can’t, but we can still contribute in our own way.
It is open to anyone and can include photoshops, videos, poems, haikus, short stories or on-site news reports from in the field.
Essentially if it’s tasteful (not pornographic, hostile, violent or abusive) and could be considered a tolerant form of protesting, informing or sharing, we’d like to host it.
This Saturday will be the fourth global protest in a series of monthly protests staged and organized by the internet activist group called Anonymous.
From the beginning of this movement in January, I was intrigued and compelled to follow up on what has become an integral part of Glosslip. I spoke at a conference today on blogging and while I was there representing Blogcritics.org, many people seemed interested in the investigative and celebrity stories we do here on this site. Truly, the two subjects work well together simply because Scientology uses celebrities to provide a glamorous face to their corrupt organization and Hollywood is a tremendous component to our popular culture. We worship at the altar of Celebrities, and their causes (or fake religions) are part of mainstream America. Glosslip seeks to expose and confront false worship.
Like Anonymous, I have found myself drawn into a noble effort to expose the outrageous, cruel and pervasive abuses throughout Scientology. For too long, our apathy as a country has allowed this open sore on humanity to fester. Anonymous, like any activist movement before it, has created a cohesive and like-minded mass in which together these individuals are able to execute change in their world.
Understanding the corruption of Scientology is not easy. It is complicated, time-consuming and mind-boggling. Just when you think it can’t get any worse than brainwashing, illegal silencing of critics and perversion of our tax system, you discover forced abortions, labor law violations (including child labor), physical abuse of members and the mysterious deaths of those who’ve sought refuge in Scientology.
Every single day, EVERY DAY, I get emails from former members who are finally speaking out, or from those who’ve lost loved ones to the cult, or those who’ve lost years of their lives working towards what they thought was a noble effort to help mankind, only to find they’d been deeply misled and taken advantage of.
The Church of Scientology is working overtime to try and cover up their blatant and irresponsible actions of exposing members, including their famous celeb clientele, to blue asbestos for the last 20 years.
The Church owned cruise liner, The Freewinds, is currently dry-docked in Curacao for extensive repair work, which now includes their attempts to remove the dangerous chemical from the ship. It was during scheduled renovation work when local authorities doing inspection of the ship discovered the toxic blue asbestos, which many older ships used as a fire retardant. From an article on Lawyersandsettlements.com:
The Church of Scientology’s members were attending Scientology courses, training services and functions aboard the ship. According to the Daily Herald, a local newspaper, the blue asbestos was released from the ship’s structure during refurbishing and reparatory work.
This is not the first time the MV Freewinds has been investigated for blue asbestos. In 2001, a former Scientology member, architect Lawrence Woodcraft, submitted a sworn affidavit stating that he was exposed to blue asbestos while working on the Freewinds in 1987. As well, a statement from the ship’s captain claimed that there were previous incidents where blue asbestos was released into the ship’s ventilation system. But the Church of Scientology denied Woodcraft’s claim and in so doing, the Church knowingly exposed its passengers and members to this most deadliest form of asbestos for the past 21 years!
The fibers of blue asbestos, like all asbestos fibers, can be inhaled in the lungs where they lie dormant for years until their carcinogenic toxicity begins to cause tumors to grow in the lungs, causing the disease mesothelioma, which is virtually untreatable. The result of this disease is a certain and painful death.
