"Het is nooit eerder gebeurd dat er Sea Orgs op Amsterdam zijn afgestuurd. Dat kan maar één ding betekenen: dat ze in Los Angeles en Kopenhagen serieus rekening houden met de mogelijkheid dat als het zo doorgaat, ze de tent in Nederland over een tijdje wel kunnen sluiten.’’PromotieJulia Rijnvis, secretaris en woordvoerder van de Scientology Kerk Nederland, bevestigt dat Koster is vervangen. Volgens haar is echter geen sprake van een ingreep van bovenaf, maar juist van ‘promotie’ van Koster.Koster gaat zich volgens Rijnvis bij de ‘Sea Org’ in Kopenhagen ‘toeleggen op een uitgebreide studie’ van de werken van Scientology-grondlegger en science-fictionschrijver L.Ron Hubbard. Op termijn zou zij weer naar Amsterdam kunnen terugkeren om ‘de kerk naar een nieuw niveau van groei te helpen’.

,,Onzin,’’ zeggen ingewijden, ,,dat is alleen maar het pr-verhaal dat ze ophangen. Als jij als directeur Nederland een tijdje in Kopenhagen wilt gaan studeren, is dat geen enkel probleem.

Overigens heeft de Amerikaanse rechter nu al tweemaal het demonstratieverbod in de VS afgewezen. De tweede keer omdat Autonomous geen organisatie is, geen leiderschap kent en dus ook geen lidmaatschap. Goed nieuws.

Unwitting high-schoolers lured to forum run by Scientologists
Anna Patty Education Editor
March 28, 2007


A HUMAN rights youth forum at Parliament House in Sydney promoted the views of the Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard, and was organised by a group linked to the Church of Scientology.

In a kit given to students, Hubbard's photograph was more prominent than those of the human rights activists Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Thomas Jefferson. Hubbard's quotes were littered through the material.

The Church of Scientology is the major sponsor of Youth for Human Rights Australia, the group that organised the youth seminar on March 20 in the NSW Parliament Theatrette.

Three students from Canterbury Girls High School were in the audience. Each felt concerned at overt references to Scientology.

Alice Craven, 17, the school captain at Canterbury Girls, said she felt exploited because the forum's link to the Church of Scientology was not disclosed in promotional material sent to teachers and students.

"I feel exploited and taken advantage of and am worried other people at the event may have taken it as a serious human rights forum, when it was pushing a Scientology agenda," she said. "Alarm bells began to ring when I noticed a large poster on the stage … emblazoned with a quote from L. Ron Hubbard."

She said students were asked to sign a human rights pledge and given application forms to join the organisation at cost of $10.

The Department of Education is looking into the students' complaints.

To inform "Anonymous" members who may be unaware of the criminal acts committed by their leaders, and to prevent others from being misled by "Anonymous" propaganda, this video has been produced to provide the facts. The video reveals "Anonymous" repeated incitements to hate and violence.

The Church has not interacted with these "Anonymous" individuals nor does it desire to. However, death threats and threats to plant nitroglycerin bombs in Churches have made it necessary to take security precautions and identify members of this group responsible for these crimes.[/i]

Samenvatting?

quote:

The Profit is a feature film written and directed by Peter N. Alexander. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France in 2001. Distribution of the film was prohibited by an American court order which was a result of a lawsuit brought by the Church of Scientology, although the filmmaker says that the film is not about Scientology. The Disinformation Book Of Lists and The Times have characterized The Profit as a banned film in the United States.

The film was described by its producers as a work of fiction, meant to educate the public about cults and con men. It was widely seen, however, as a parody of the Church of Scientology and its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. The main character L. Conrad Powers leads an organization called the "Church of Scientific Spiritualism", and many elements about both the Church portrayed in the film, and Powers' life have been compared to Scientology and Hubbard. The film was mainly produced and shot in Tampa Bay, Florida, and the cast included actors from the area and cameos from a few Scientology critics.

The Church of Scientology did not think favorably of the piece. Representatives from the Foundation for Religious Tolerance of Florida came to protest the film, and the film's producers asserted that they were harassed by Scientologists. Initially, representatives of the Church stated the film had no resemblance to Scientology, but later the Church initiated litigation to block the film's distribution. As a result of a 2002 court order from the Lisa McPherson case, a Pinellas County judge blocked further distribution of the film in the United States. According to the film's attorney the injunction was lifted in 2007, but distribution is still blocked due to a conflict with one of the producers, Bob Minton. The film generally did not receive positive reviews from local press, and reviews in the St. Petersburg Times criticized over-the-top acting, and noted that the director should have instead produced a non-fiction documentary piece if he wanted to educate others about cults.
