The most Amazing RELIGIOUS and ECCLESIASTICAL anecdotes of Sea Org life. This radio interview is about Sea Or life. Jeffrey summarized it nicely: I consider Sea Org members to be slaves and discuss this in part of my interview with Chris Shelton that will be released. The Cult has staked out a position whereby SO members are "volunteers" of a religious order. IMO, there are numerous ways to legally challenge this, one of which is false imprisonment -- particularly when the SO recruitment process can be shown to be false and misleading in such a way as to lead a person to sign an unconscionable contract that leads to the unjust enrichment of the Cult of Scientology via the exploitation of captive workers. This is false imprisonment under the cover of a religious order. Now that 990-T's are released, law firms, agencies, and governments can see that the Church has accumulated and hoarded money via a series of false and misleading representations made to its parishioners coupled with the false imprisonment and exploitation of SO members. There is a pervasive and institutionalized pattern of conduct awash in lies, falsehoods, contracts of adhesion, unclean hands, self-dealing, and unconscionability. No one advised in advance of the actual situation, no one who had legal counsel beforehand concerning the actual terms and conditions, would agree to such bad faith and malicious conduct as practiced and perpetrated upon persons in the Cult of Scientology. Diversity, jurisdiction, and various causes of action are now known. IMO, the corporate veil has already been breached and it can be shown that the Church of Scientology is the alter ego of David Miscavige.

Vivien takes us through her early boot camp days where had to clean toilets and even remove feces from the lake at St. Hill with no Hazmad equipment, a job usually relegated to machinery. How funny that years later at the Scientology International Base, a recurring punishment of Senior Executives was to do the exact same thing. Clean the lake of feces with their hands. True story. Covered in depth in Marc Headley's book "Blown for Good." Does anyone wonder why Sea Org Members who have fled have nightmares for years ?

Tom Cruise receives a "Medal of Valor" for promoting Scientology to the millions.Tom Cruise praises Leader David Miscavige saying "We are LUCKY to have you !" He goes on to say that he Cruise has met all the leaders and even Leaders of leaders and David Miscavige tops them all. David Miscavige made the staff watch that OVER and OVER and OVER again.
Note that BEFORE Tom gave that message, he was given Sea Org Labor on the order of Miscavige to pimp up his real estate and airplane hangar and motorbike etc.

This video depicts the recurring Battle cry of the *Church*of Scientology which is to OBLITERATE Psychiatry. This Battle cry has been sung for some 40 years. However, the "Church" does not want to accept into its ranks anyone with even a mild psychiatric background. It also shows a story of a 19 year old who lost his way while his parents served in the Sea Org. His parents stayed on in the "Sea Organization" while he lived on the streets in Hollywood in a complete melt-down.

Ursula Caberta was the Government Official in Germany that Germans turned to after being raped of their finance and Fair Gamed and so on. She retired recently. Tony Ortega gave a nice overview.
In 2000 Ursula visited the United States and Office of Special Affairs had their gang bang crowd hurl insults at her on arrival at the airport. Par for the course for the world's "fastest growing religion." :) http://tonyortega.org/2013/01/31/ursu...

Absolutely preposterous that they pretend "Human Rights" campaigns. This "Church" is the ultimate in Human Rights Violations. They kidnap, hold people against will, dole out sleep deprivation and demand slave labor hours of performance for cents an hour. Therefore I call it "garbage in ~~ garbage out."

As the entity calling itself a "church" grew more and more greedy for money $$$$, it started escalating punishments, inhuman punishments for staff members, Sea Org members that did not rake in the $$$$.
There is a fantasy club called "It doesn't have to do with ME Club". Being assigned to that Club means you are detached and disassociated, not working hard enough, not being a "team player" not raking in the $$$. One of the punishments is rice and beans solely as diet 3 times a day. This can go on for months.
Another is to be sent to PIG'S BERTHING, where you sleep with other "PIGS". You do not get to go home to sleep in your own bed, but on the floor. The PIG'S BERTHING PUNISHMENT is pure humiliation and degradation.
The current punishment for Sea org members is "highest ever". The more stories I hear, the more I learn of the human rights violations while wealth is being amassed.
And they have in very recent years installed a new department called "Ethics and Image"
Ethics and Image indeed !
Read this and follow Tony O for the next couple of days....

UPDATE: STATEMENT BY MIKE RINDER, FORMER SCIENTOLOGY SPOKESMAN (Tony Ortega blog)
We asked Mike Rinder for a statement about these documents and what they reveal. He sent us this message…
I suspect the figures listed as “book value” are the lowest valuations of assets they think they can get away with. But these are fascinating documents despite not listing income (other than ‘unrelated business income’).
The accumulation of assets is a problem with respect to exemption. The underlying theory of granting exemption is that the organization provides a public benefit, and things that benefit the public should not be taxed. But if instead of benefiting anyone it is accumulated by the organization, it violates IRS guidelines. Certainly a lot of this is property — and that is trickier to prove. Miscavige and his numerous lawyers will claim that the property is for the public benefit, because without it the church cannot provide that public benefit consisting of training and auditing. This is of course a lie, as most of the buildings are palaces that sit empty and are way beyond what is needed to deliver the alleged public benefit. As I have said before, this is one of the main reasons for the “Ideal Org” program (and for purchasing absolutely superfluous properties like KCET when there is a massive studio at Gold). While those assets could be liquidated relatively easily (if they needed to be liquidated the inevitable losses would not be relevant as most of them were from “found money” obtained through heavy handed fundraising), they make it very difficult for the IRS to go after. In effect, for purposes of the church, buildings are a tax shelter. It is why you see the obsession with buildings.
But of course these forms provide only a glimpse of part of the picture. Of course there is no weekly income included. And there is no International Assocation of Scientologists (IAS).
Even if there was a 990 for IAS Administrations, the money they collect is deposited into accounts nominally controlled by a “trust” (US IAS Members Trust). That is screened from any public scrutiny.
Similarly, assets are held in accounts nominally controlled by CSRT (Church of Scientology Religious Trust). I do not know which buildings may be in their name. Super Power could be, even though it is the main FSO delivery building…. It is possible that CSI has to include CSRT assets on its 990 book value as it is really “wholly owned” by Church of Scientology International.
This is all deliberately made confusing and opaque as there are other trusts and entities established to shield liability and keep the total wealth obscured.
What is not confusing is that these figures do not include the IAS, the single biggest repository of liquid funds in the Scientology hierarchy, known to have well in excess of a billion dollars, probably in excess of two billion by now. These documents also don’t include any of the organizations outside the US, nor even a lot in the US, including C of S NY, Wsahington DC, SFO, etc.
This confirms what many have said: Scientology Inc. is an astonishingly wealthy organization. It also confirms that given its assets, Scientology spends virtually nothing on its much ballyhooed “social betterment” and “human rights” programs. With this sort of money they could be doing more for disaster relief than the Red Cross. They claim they are, but in truth they spend a few thousands dollars to make it possible to shoot videos. They could have provided food and shelter for every victim of the Philippines hurricane and not made a dent in their accumulated wealth. Instead they flew in four people in yellow t-shirts to do photo ops.
Jeff has done a great job getting this information and making it available. It is a window into the haunted house of Scientology.
