Scientology: the Truth behind the Cult

Guess what time it is?

Thats right!! Time for yet another rant about that cult-cum-pseudo-science: Scientology!!

The so-called “Church” of Scientology, having long been the greatest fear of those who would practice freedom of speech, is, time and again, making itself look like an organisation run by paranoid-psychotics.

This is fairly old news but I’m sure a majority of the people who’ll read this piece won’t be aware of the event having ever took place (thats how good these people are at covering up anything that makes them look bad.)

This article from the Village Voice outlines how the scientologists have decided to persecute an American comedien for joining in a protest rally outside one of their “churches”. As punishment for simply for exercising his right to free expression Mike Vitale has now found himself the target of one Scientology’s oldest doctrines: Fair game.

Now, while officially removed from the organisation’s official response to alternate views, Scientology consistently proves that the Fair Game policy is still very much alive and well, if not in name then at least in form.

For those not quite in the know about exactly what is meant by Fair Game, I think Scientology’s founder and icon said it best when he laid out the policy as follows:

“Fair game. May be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed”

Hmmm.. And this is an organisation that claims it’s going to bring about world peace? I think not.

The Fair Game policy is still very much alive and well, though scientologists had to have it stricken from official documents after several governmental investigations. The “church” of Scientology still practices this policy actively against those who say anythnig scientology would rather they didn’t.

Points go to Mike Vitale for including the threats from the “church” of Scientology into his act. Go Freedom Of Speech!!
