- Never wait. Never talk about us - only them. Use their blood, sex, crime to get headlines (Hubbard, "Attacks on Scientology", HCO Policy Letter of 15 Feb 1966)
- We do not find critics of Scientology who do not have criminal pasts. (...) Never discuss Scientology with the critic. Just discuss his or her crimes, known and unknown." (HCO Bulletin of 27 August, 1987).
- Fair Game - A person who is "suppressive" is considered an "enemy" and "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" (HCO Policy Letter of 18 October, 1967).
- "There are only two answers for the handling of people from 2.0 down on the Tone Scale (NDLR: Les communistes et les homosexuels), neither one of which has anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to their justification of their acts. The first is to raise them on the Tone Scale by un-enturbulating some of their theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow." (L. Ron Hubbard, SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL, p. 170)

La violence est le fondement de la scientologie David Miscavige est un pur produit de la scientologie. Les faits ne sont pas nouveau: pour en savoir plus, nous vous

| Les contradictions de la scientologie Commentaire d'Anonymous Montreal - 31 mars 2010 Ron Hubbard et la scientologie considèrent que c'est un crime ("High Crimes") que d'appeler la police. Voici ce qu'il écrit à ce sujet: "Reporting or threatening to report Scientology or Scientologists to civil authorities in an effort to suppress Scientology or Scientologists from practicing or receiving standard Scientology." «Intro to Scientology Ethics» p.161 Hubbard ordonne de ne pas collaborer avec les forces de l'ordre, sous peine d'être privé de scientologie et d'être déclaré une «personne supressive» (un ennemi de la scientologie). Lorsque la vie d'une
personne tourne autour de la scientologie, tel
qu'exposé hier, cela revient à dire qu'il n'a plus le droit d'exister et
qu'il se verra isolé par les autres scientologues qui ne voudront pas être
«contaminé». Ce qui explique que lorsque David Miscavige ou quiconque agissant
sous ses ordres tabasse un membre de la Sea Org, il est assuré que ce dernier ne
portera pas plainte à la police. La version des faits des ex-scientologue interrogés est cohérente: David Miscavige ou des personnes travaillant sous ses ordres ont battu du personnel à une centaine de reprises sur plusieurs années sans que personne ne porte plainte, sous peine de représailles. La version des faits des scientologues interviewés dans ce reportage est tout autre: ils soutiennent que ce sont les ex-scientologues qui ont battu des employés sur plusieurs années. Durant tout ce temps, ils admettent que beaucoup de gens savait que des actes de violences avait lieu, mais personne n'a préve- nu le chef David Miscavige car il n'était pas sur place - et que personne ne l'a appelé, ni faxé, ni envoyé un courriel - et que personne n'a daigné avertir la police que des actes d'une extrême violence avait lieu depuis des années. Alors que Marty Rathbun est accusé par la secte d'avoir battu Mike Rinder et Tom DeVotch, les ex-femmes de Rinder et DeVotch, toujours scientologues, soutiennent qu'elles n'ont jamais vu une seul égratignure sur leurs corps. Pendant ce temps, l'avocate du groupe Monique Yingling justifie la non-collaboration avec la police car ces abus relèverait, selon lui, de la «régie interne» de l'organisation. |

Church of Scientology says abuse claims handled internally Anderson Cooper and Ismael Estrada AC360°
If you believe Marty Rathbun, people in the top ranks of the Church of Scientology have used physical intimidation and outright beatings as a means of discipline. Scientology's current leaders, including Rathbun's ex-wife, call him a liar and an "apostate." They say the only beatings were those inflicted by Rathbun and a small number of others, all of whom have left Scientology. But both sides appear to agree that periodic beatings occurred among the highest echelons of the church for some period of time, though they disagree on who was behind them - and none of those involved ever filed a police report. Church leaders say the issues were taken care of privately "We have our own internal methods of handling somebody," said Norman Starkey, a senior leader in the church and a former close associate of Scientology's late founder, L. Ron Hubbard. "If someone acts a bit irrationally, it was reported. It was reported internally." But Rathbun said no one would report the beatings because they came from the top, and sometimes they were inflicted by his immediate superior, church leader David Miscavige. "In late '03, there was a beating every day," Rathbun said. "And if it wasn't from him doing it, it was from him inciting others to do it to others." The Church of Scientology emphatically denies any allegation that Miscavige, who became Scientology's leader after Hubbard's death in 1986, either beat his lieutenants in the church or fostered a management culture that encouraged physical abuse. In fact, in sworn affidavits, a number of church members point to more than a dozen instances in which Rathbun assaulted colleagues over the years. Rathbun was behind "a very carefully calculated campaign to engage in individual acts of bullying, and sometimes, you know, of a very forceful nature, in isolation," church spokesman Tommy Davis told CNN. Rathbun's accusations are supported by other former members of the Sea Organization, the elite religious order that runs Scientology. They describe Miscavige punching, choking and kicking top aides, including the church's onetime spokesman. But current members of the group deny those claims and say some of the accusers joined Rathbun in the abuse. Rathbun quit Scientology in 2004 after belonging to the church for more than a quarter-century. During that time, he rose to the rank of "inspector-general" and was a member of the Sea Organization. He is the highest-ranking former Scientologist to speak against the church. He admits to abusing his own subordinates. But he says he was encouraged to do so by Miscavige. "He used to rag on me all the time, constantly pushed me to get physical with people and berate me," he said. Through Davis, Miscavige declined to be interviewed by CNN for this report. There is no physical evidence to support the accusations against him, just as church affidavits attacking the accusers and supporting Miscavige cannot be independently verified. The Church of Scientology's stated goal is to help people "live in a civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights." Members pay to take courses designed to help them work through issues from their past and reach a higher state of consciousness. Scientology has a vociferous array of critics, and responds with forceful public relations campaigns and legal defenses. Davis said Miscavige demoted Rathbun in 2001, immediately after reports of physical assaults on subordinates reached him. The church now accuses Rathbun and other former Sea Organization members - including onetime Scientology spokesman Mike Rinder, construction manager Tom DeVocht and marketing manager Jeff Hawkins - of conspiring to spread lies about Scientology. Rinder would not appear on camera, but said he was the subject of Miscavige's abuse about 50 times. Both Hawkins and DeVocht say they were victims of Miscavige's violence as well. But Rinder and DeVocht actually took part in the abuse, the church says. DeVocht wasted church money, it says, while it accuses Hawkins of supporting an anti-Scientology organization known as Anonymous. The ex-wives of all four men, all of them Sea Organization leaders themselves, joined church officials in denouncing them during joint interviews with CNN. "He is the one who turned on his friends and his wife," said Rathbun's ex-wife, Anne Joasem. "People who turn on their friends are liars." Rathbun and others say Rinder bore the brunt of Miscavige's attacks. But Rinder's ex-wife, Catherine Bernardini, said the only time she saw any sign her husband had been beaten was when he was attacked "totally out of the blue" by Rathbun. DeVocht's ex-wife, Jennifer Linson, said she "never saw one scratch" on her husband. And Hawkins' ex-wife, Catherine Fraser, said he "never mentioned one thing" about any abuse. "To the contrary, he mentioned to me how much Mr. David Miscavige supported him, how much he believed in him," Fraser said. Church officials have provided CNN with a stack of affidavits attacking Rathbun and other ex-Scientologists. In one, Starkey states that Rathbun subjected him to "consistent and virulent physical harassment" from 1997 to 2002. "He would walk up to me and slap me across the back of my head, then deal me a resounding blow or without warning, brutally hit me on the head from behind," Starkey wrote. But Starkey said he never told Miscavige, Rathbun's superior, about those assaults. Nor did Guillaume Lesevre, the church's international executive director, who said there was never any "culture of violence." "Sure, Marty Rathbun lost it. Several times, he lost it," Lesevre said. "He was a guy who had a tendency to be like this." Lesevre told CNN that Scientology has "our own procedure" for dealing with problems, "and maybe there is one thing we have a fault on." "We are very tolerant with people. Particularly when we have a staff member who's been a staff member for many years, like Marty Rathbun was," he said. "We give them a lot of chances." But in the end, Lesevre said, Rathbun "would not avail himself of it." Davis told CNN the question of whether anyone in the church filed criminal charges "was completely their choice." But Hawkins told CNN that no one within the church would challenge Miscavige. "If you're a Scientologist and you believe in Scientology and you believe that the only way to your spiritual salvation is through the levels of Scientology, then he literally holds the power of life and death over every Scientologist," Hawkins said. "Because he can say, 'You're out of here, you'll get no Scientology services, you're done.'" Hawkins spent 35 years in Scientology before he left in 2005. He compared church members to a "battered wife" who would lie to police if questioned about their bruises. "They're not going to say anything," he said. Ex-members, church disagree on 'disconnection' One reason for that, he and others tell CNN, is that the church will force their families to "disconnect" from them if they're out of Scientology. Citing his own circumstances, Hawkins said Sea Organization members, who get room and board on the grounds of Scientology's world headquarters outside Los Angeles and are paid $50 a week, find disconnection particularly difficult. "Here I was, 58 years old when I left. I had no money, I had no job, I didn't know anybody outside of Scientology. I had no friends," Hawkins said. He said that he was declared a "suppressive person" - a church term for an enemy of Scientology or its principles - and the church presented his wife with divorce papers. She signed them; so did he; "and we haven't spoken since," he said. Fraser denies her divorce from Hawkins had anything to do with his decision to leave the church and said she has tried to contact him without success. "He paid for the divorce. He knew exactly what was happening. This is astonishing. He is a liar to the core," Fraser said. Bernardini said Rinder decamped at the end of a business trip, sending a message through an intermediary that he wanted her to join him. She refused, and told CNN she has never heard back from him despite repeated attempts at contact. "I had no idea when Mike left, when I was packing his bags, that I would never see him again," she said. "And I was shocked. I was like, 'What the hell is going on, right?' " Linson said DeVocht also left without warning. "We did not do something to these men," she said. "They walked out on their wives, and they walked out on their church, and they walked out on their friends." But other former Scientologists say their families were pressured to cut off contact with them when they quit Scientology. Amy Scobee, who once helped run Scientology's celebrity center in Los Angeles, told CNN her mother was told to disconnect from her when she quit the church. "In fact, I was at her house when Scientologists came with the issue," Scobee said. While she waited in a back room, she said, church officials told her mother to cut off contact. "So she told me that she didn't have a choice," Scobee said. "It was the worst day of my life." Christy Collbran, another former senior Scientology member, said she was declared "suppressive" after leaving the church four years ago. She says she still believes in Scientology, but her parents - who remain in the church - won't have any contact with her. "You can say, 'No, I'm not going to disconnect.' But then what happens to you is that you can't go into the church, and other people won't speak to you, so there's ways of enforcing this," Collbran said. She said former members find not only their spiritual lives are upended, but "they don't want to lose maybe their jobs if they're working for a Scientologist." The church denies any disconnection policy exists. But Davis said no Scientologist would want to talk to someone who rejected their beliefs. If a relative of a member is attacking Scientology, he said, "The church has the right to say, 'Look, you need to sort that out with your dad and until you do, you're not welcome until you sort that out because your father is viciously attacking the church. So sort that out with your dad, and then come back. If you need some help with that, let us know. We'll assist you with that.' " "That's the simplicity of it," he said. "Any subject of who someone is in communication with is a personal choice that that person is making themselves." But the church's disavowal of disconnection was one of the reasons Oscar-winning screenwriter and producer Paul Haggis cited last year when he quit the church. "We all know this policy exists," he wrote in a letter to Davis. "You might recall that my wife was ordered to disconnect from her parents because of something absolutely trivial they supposedly did 25 years ago when they resigned from the church." He accused Davis of lying about disconnection in a 2009 CNN interview unrelated to this series, adding, "What else are you lying about?" Davis called the release of that letter, which he blamed on Rathbun, "pretty disgusting." But he said, "Anybody has a right to not be in association with or communicating with somebody who is attacking them." |
| Scientology: A history of violence by Anderson Cooper
This week we begin a five-part investigation into allegations made by a number of former high ranking members of the Church of Scientology. The allegations are about physical abuse they say took place within the Sea Organization, the international management branch of the church. These former members, many of whom dedicated their lives to Scientology, allege that the leader of the church, David Miscavige, has used physical violence against a number of Sea Organization members. The church adamantly denies these allegations, and back up their denials with numerous affidavits and testimonials defending Mr. Miscavige and attacking those who are speaking out. Interestingly, the church spokesman, Tommy Davis, admits there was a history of violence in the Sea Organization, but the people he blames for it are those who are making the allegations against David Miscavige. He says they were demoted by Mr. Miscavige, and are bitter and disgruntled. Some of those making the allegations admit they did engage in violent acts, but say it was at the urging of Mr. Miscavige. There is no real proof offered by either side, but viewers can make their own assessment. We have spent several months working on this series, and believe it is a fair look at the allegations and the counter claims made by the church. I have already received a number of emails from church members complaining about the series, and accusing me of attacking the church, its beliefs, its membership, and its activities. Given that the emails are all very similar in content, I assume this is some sort of organized email campaign. None of those writing the emails have seen the series, but I appreciate hearing from all concerned viewers, and I certainly understand any church member, of any religion, being concerned about the portrayal of their beliefs. For the record, I just want to point out that this series is not about the beliefs or activities of the Church of Scientology. It is not about the religion or the vast majority of Scientologists. This series simply has to do with what some former high ranking church officials say went on within the upper management of the church, and what happened to them when they left the church.

Testimony of Marty Rathbun, a member of the Church of Scientology for 27 years Part 1A Scientology: A history of violence (CNN, 3/29/10) Part 1B Testimony of Marty Rathbun (CNN, 3/29/10) La première partie de l'enquête d'Anderson
Cooper à propos des abus de la scientologie Elle
se résume à une confrontation entre le témoignage de l'ex-vice-président de la
scientologie, Marty Rathbun, et le porte-parole de la corporation, Tommy
Davis. Anderson Cooper begins a four-part investigation into allegations made by a number of former high-ranking members of the Church of Scientology. The allegations are about physical abuse they say took place within the Sea Organization, the international management branch of the Church. David Miscavige vehemently denies these allegations and he has the backing of the Church. Many members have written to us to complain about the series already. Monday night we told you about Marty Rathbun. He was a member of the Church of Scientology for 27 years before leaving in 2004. He rose through the ranks of the Sea Organization, the international management team that runs church operations world wide. Rathbun says he was the Inspector General and answered only to church leader David Miscavige, the same man who he says would use physical abuse against other members of the churches elite management team. Rathburns ex-wife says hes lying, and other current Sea Organization members agree. They also say it was Rathburn who was the attacker, not Miscavige. They say there were a number of incidents where Rathbun would punch, choke or slap other members of the church and that because of his repeated attacks, he was thrown out of the church. Rathbun says they are exaggerating. He admits to using physical force, but says it was Miscavige who not only created the culture of violence, he encouraged it. Tuesday at 10 PM/ET we hear from other former high ranking officials within the church who say they either witnessed or were physically assaulted by the church leader. Allegations the church strongly denies. |
Transcript|
Part 3: Nobody called the police (CNN, 3/31/2010) If the numerous beatings were being done by Marty Rathbun as Tommy Davis says, then how come the church never called the police and filed charges against Marty Rathbun ? Could the reason why nobody called the police and no charges were filed be because it was the head of the church, David Miscavige that was doing the beatings ? If the head of the church, David Miscavige was doing the beatings, could that explain why the police were never called and charges were never filed ? |

The ramifications of
leaving Scientology
Anderson Cooper continues to explore allegations of abuse of staff members by David Miscavige. Jeff Hawkins explains what he went through and why he put up with it for so long. Then the wives of the ex-members strike back, saying there’s no such thing as Disconnection. Oh, sure, people may decide they no longer wish to talk to someone but what the heck is this “disconnection” thing ? Le porte-parole de la multinationale de la scientologie, Tommy Davis, affirme dans cette 4èeme partie du reportage de CNN qu'il n'existe pas de règle selon laquelle les scientologues doivent rompre le contact avec des ex-scientologues ou des critiques de la scientologie. Si cela survient, soutient-il, c'est une décision personnelle des scientologues. Rien de plus faux. Citons L. Ron Hubbard à ce sujet, à la page 206 de l'édition 2007 de «Introduction to Scientology Ethics»: A Scientologist can become PTS (NDLR: une source potentielle de problèmes) by reason of being connected to someone that is antagonistic to Scientology or its tenets. In order to resolve the PTS condition, he either HANDLES the other person's antagonism (as covered in the materials on PTS handling) or, as a last resort when all attempts to handle have failed, he disconnects from the person. He is simply exercising his right to communicate or not to communicate with a particular person. Autrement dit, un scientologue doit confronter la personne critique de la scientologie afin de la convaincre de la changer d'idée; et, si cela échoue, doit cesser de communiquer avec lui. Tommy Davis en flagrant délit de mensonge Quoiqu'en dise Tommy Davis, ce passage d'Hubbard est toujours mis en application. L'an dernier, Tommy Davis a rencontré en privé un scientologue qui voulait quitter l'organisation, Larry Anderson, et le menaçait de perdre tout contact avec sa famille et amis scientologue. Il avait oublié un détail: Anderson a eu la brillante idée d'enregistrer la conversation. Voici donc Tommy Davis en flagrant délit de mensonge:
Audio: Tommy Davis is lying. Scientology denied deconnexion (Radio Paul -2009) English De nombreux témoignages de parents de scientologues sont aussi des indices que la scientologie exige bien des coupures des liens familiaux. Ces coupures surviennent généralement avoir un refus de suivre des cours de scientologie ou après des critiques de la scientologie auprès de leurs enfants. Voir par exemple cette video avec le témoignage d'un jeune couple |
Anderson Cooper revient pour une dernière fois sur le climat de violence qui règne dans les cadres supérieurs de la scientologie. Il interviewe trois ex-scientologues en réactions aux entrevues de leurs ex-femmes, des scientologues qui les accusaient de tous les maux de la Terre. Cette série fut un désastre de relation publique pour la scientologie. L'«agence de vigile et d'analyse médias Influence Communication» a énuméré une liste des choses à ne pas faire lorsqu'une organisation est confrontée à une controverse:
La scientologie a fait toutes ces erreurs. Normal, les portes-paroles préfèrent s'en remettre à ce qu'écrivait L. Ron Hubbard: «Never defend, always attack». Ne jamais se défendre, toujours attaquer. Une stratégie qui mène systématiquement au désastre. Après un tel comportement la scientologie est devenue encore plus étrange et dangereuse que jamais aux yeux du public. Cette enquête a été diffusée dans le monde sur les ondes de CNN International - donc, dans à peu près tous les hôtels, aéroports et toutes les capitales du monde Anderson Cooper a annoncé que la BBC menait en ce moment une autre enquête sur les abus de la scientologie. Décidément, la scientologie à encore bien du pain sur la planche... |
