![]() | Scientologists criminal acts described by Gov't prosecutors After a guilty verdict for scientologists in US federal court in 1978, the prosecutors made the following statement to the judge: (Taken from St. Petersburg Times series they ran in 1980 on scientology, http://www.antisectes.net/sp-times-scientology-special-report-pulitzer-price.pdf ) "That these defendants were willing to frame their critics to the point of giving false testimony under oath against them and having them arrested and indicted speaks legion for their disdain for the rule of law. Indeed, they arrogantly placed themselves above the law, meting out their personal brand of punishment to those 'guilty' of opposing their selfish aims. The crime committed by these defendants is of a breadth and scope previously unheard of. No building, office, desk, or file was safe from their snooping and prying. No individual or organization was free from their despicable conspiratorial minds. The tools of their trade were miniature transmitters, lock picks, secret codes, forged credentials, and any other device they found necessary to carry out their conspiratorial schemes. It is interesting to note that the founder of their organization, unindicted co-conspirator L.Ron Hubbard, wrote in his dictionary entitled Modern Management Technology Defined... that 'truth is what is true for you.' Thus, with the founder's blessings they could wantonly commit perjury as long as it was in the interest of Scientology. The defendants rewarded criminal activities that ended in success and sternly rebuked those that failed. The standards of human conduct embodied in such practices represent no less than the absolute perversion of any known ethical value system. In view of this, it defies the imagination that these defendants have the unmitigated audacity to seek to defend their actions in the name of'religion.' That these defendants now attempt to hide behind the sacred principles of freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the right to privacy — which principles they repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to violate with impunity — adds insult to the injuries which they have inflicted on every element of society." zing. Another interesting quote from a Canadian court in upholding a libel verdict against scientology in the late 90's: "Every aspect of this case demonstrates the very real and persistent malice of Scientology". In 1997 Canada's highest court upheld a criminal conviction of the CO$ of Toronto and one of it's officers for a breach of trust stemming from covert operations in Canadian government offices. Seems like the scientology organization management is regularly breaching trust. Go to http://www.xenutv.com and click on "interviews". Make some popcorn, and watch every last damn one of 'em.
