VIDEO TRANSCRIPT FOR AUSTRALIA

Part I: Scientology Experience

 

Good day Senator Xenophon. My name is Nan McLean. I reside in Sutton West, Ontario, Canada, (a small town 50 miles north of Toronto Ontario).

Louise Nettle of Sydney Australia, contacted a member of my family and suggested that I come to Australia to present my information to you and your fellow Senators. It is my understanding that you are requesting an Inquiry into The Church of Scientology, which is a subject that I know agreat deal about.

After many discussions, I felt it would be best for me to provide my information via DVD (and possible conference call to answer any questions which may arise) followed by my personal testimony should you wish it at the actual inquiry which may follow. I believe that 2 trips to Australia (duration of some 25 plus hours) would be very hard on me physically. I must also acknowledge that I cannot financially support even one trip to Australia.

I became involved with Scientology in June 1969 by taking the basic Communication Course. I fell in love with the techniques of Scientology and the promised bridge to TOTAL FREEDOM which in those dayspromised that after completing OT VIII the ability to be at cause overmatter, energy, space and time BOTH subjectively and objectively. L. RonHubbard had mapped the route for everyone’s safe journey through the many pitfalls one could fall into and die. Anyone achieving this Level withall of its advertised abilities would be GOD.

(see 1970 part of Grade Chart)

This is a fraudulent misrepresentation of the human potential usedconstantly by the Church of Scientology. After completing the communication course I raised the money to walk in and pay for the Dianetic Auditing Course. I as a public person KNEW MY OWN MIND andI wanted it. The significance of this statement will become apparent later on. I was a paying public person involved in taking a course as opposed to a lowly staff member, therefore very valuable to the Toronto Organization.

I followed the Dianetic Auditing Course with the Ministers Course and as a member of the first ordination ceremony in CANADA I became an ordained minister of the Church of Scientology. The church didn’t have any religious status in Canada, however it was and STILL IS a civilization unto itself. We had our OWN laws as written by L. Ron Hubbard universally practiced throughout the Scientology World, and for a Scientologist there is NO OTHER WORLD.

An illustration of this appears in Hubbard Communication Officer Policy Letter January 4, 1955: LRH Relation ships to Orgs (last paragraph)

“Somebody someday will say..this is illegal.. By then be sure the orgs say what is legal or not.”

I later obtained a document through my research which stated ... “It’s OK to lie under oath in court for Scientology” ... I made several copiesof this document available to the press both in Clearwater Florida and in Ontario. The O.P.P. (Ontario Provincial Police) borrowed and never returned my original. (I have made many, many attempts to get it back to no avail). All copies have subsequently been removed from the files of the press offices I sent them to. Training Routine L (lie) a drill that must bedone by students training to be Guardian Office Information Operatives, tends to support my statement. However I am willing to file an affidavit in support of the existence of this document.

(See certified copy of TRL (training routine lie))

At this point in my scientology life I ran out of available cash and decided to join the Toronto Org Staff. Before I could assume a post I went into training to become a Staff Member by passing Basic Staff Hat courses I &II. My first post was that of File Clerk. It was my job to file reams & reamsof HCO P\LS & HCOBS (Hubbard Communication Office Bulletins) & miscellaneous documents into their rightful sections and folders. One morning I came across the Fair Game Policy H.C.O. P\L Penalties forLower Conditions ... “SP order. 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.” I had NOT SEEN THIS POLICY BEFORE, it was not a part of my basic staff hat training. It was signed L Ron Hubbard. I was very, very disturbed and sought our A\G Canada (assistant guardian Canada {Brian Levman}) who patted me on the head (Brian aged 23 Nan aged 47 at the time) and said “Don’t you worry about that Nan, it’s been cancelled”. I requested a copy of the cancellation policy and was referred to HCO P\L 21 October 1968 which states; “The practice of declaring people FAIR GAME will cease. FAIR GAME may not appear on any ethics orders. It causes bad public relations. This P\L does not cancel any policy on the treatment or handling of an SP.” L Ron Hubbard. (Pg 489 OEC Vol I). After viewing this cancellation I blurted out “that Policy Letter doesn’t cancel any of theactions taken against an SP (the designated label for anyone who is regarded as an enemy of The Church of Scientology)”. I was again tapped on the head and told “don’t worry about it as it is no concern of yours.” Unfortunately I accepted Mr. Levman’s explanation because I needed it to be true in order to continue in Scientology.

What I have just stated to you Mr. Xenophon & Senators, is in my opinion,the first step taken by me (or any Scientologist) in Self Brainwashing. We, the Scientologists, want the technology so badly that we apply any excuse to cover up the blatant obvious deceptions Hubbard is feeding us and wedon’t connect the dots.

(See Fair Game Law & it’s cancellation)

Life proceeded and I progressed up the lines in my personal auditing aswell as being a good staff member and a great living advertisement for Scientology. Whenever dissemination personnel had difficulty signing upsomeone for further courses or auditing they would often call for my assistance, which I freely gave as I believed so strongly in L R H’s technology. I did have many issues with his policies and I had to continually brainwash myself by making excuses while accepting them. I could see for myself that government personnel and the general non/Scientology public did not treat us well. In my mind I justified the policies as Hubbard’s desperate measures created to promote the survivaland expansion of Scientology.

I was so successful in disseminating Scientology that with the help of a recruiting mission from Flag my youngest son John left grade 13 in February 1971 and joined The Sea Organization. John signed a 1 billion year contract before joining L Ron Hubbard on his Flagship Apollo, the Mecca for Scientologists. Two months later my son Bruce and his wife Dawn moved to Toronto with their two small children and joined theToronto Staff. Some months later my husband Eric, signed up as a paying public student. Eric was treated as a celebrity because he was Chief Executive Officer for District 11 Ontario Secondary School Teacher’s Federation. Our daughter Susan was our only non-Scientologist.

John came home on leave in April 1972 (at the family’s expense of course) and returned in early May with Knowledge Reports for Hubbard aboutmany ‘off policy’ procedures being practiced in the Toronto Org. Most ofthese reports were written by me although Bruce, Dawn & Eric wrote one or two.

(See Knowledge reports)

Hubbard’s policy was and is, if you can’t get things corrected in your own area, go outside the org. and proceed up the lines right to Hubbard, if necessary. On the eve of John’s departure he indicated to me that he was a safe terminal and could be trusted to follow policy to the letter and since we couldn’t get anything working ‘on policy’ in Toronto, he would be our messenger.

On May 12, 1972 a midnight staff meeting was called and since I was ‘Day Org’ Staff - Monday to Friday, I was not in attendance. However my son Bruce was (I believe Dawn his wife, was home with the children). Bruce bore the brunt of the ‘off policy’ staff meeting. This meeting was conducted by Emile Gilbert (ED Toronto) & Bryan Levman (AG/Can) and unmercifully attacked the McLean family and verbally placed them in ‘Treason’. This label incited the whole staff into believing that the McLean family had committed an act of treason towards the Church of Scientology of Torontoand its’ members. There were a number of communications back and forth from all of the Mcleans to Hubbard as well as from Levman to Hubbard which culminated in Hubbard ordering the ‘Joburg Security Check’ being applied to all the McLeans in Toronto AND the ED Emile Gilbert. As this security check had long since been cancelled (by Hubbard) we challenged this directive. This meant Bryan Levman had to show us the telex he received directly from Hubbard himself, after which we submitted to the check.

(See Joburg Security Check)

From this point on things went down hillrapidly. On October 17, 1972, following a five-hour interrogation, I walked out of The Toronto org. andThe Church of Scientology, followed by the rest of my local family. In response we were expelled from the church.

(See Correspondence, Ethic’s orders)

At this juncture I must indicate that while I was still a Staff Member in good standing, was ordered by the ED Emile Gilbert, the Dissemination Secretary Stewart Smith, AND the Flag Banking Officer Pierre Robillard to go to 2 different banks as a loan guarantor for 2 different Scientologists. At first I refused and was threatened with expulsion. I was ordered to falsify my income and to list Emile Gilbert as my employer (which he was NOT). In both instances I was accepted as the guarantor and the two Scientologists received their loans. The money in both cases was turned over to Scientology in its entirety. Sometime in late March 1973, I received a telephone call from staff of each of the two banks, demanding arrears payments. I was told that I would have to assume the balance of the debt. I then indicated to each of the banking officers that I had recently left The Church of Scientology and that I had no intentions of assuming this debt. I further informed the banking officers that I had been ordered by Scientologists to commit this act of perjury AND that I had already gone to the police about it. In both cases I received notification letters from the banks, and never heard another word from them.

(See bank letters).

I had so brainwashed myself that I, a woman who was unable to tell a lie had actually committed an act of perjury.

When John returned to the ship in May 1972 he was promoted to 3rd Mate FSO (Flag Ship Org), a post he held until he left. He suddenly be cameprivy to confidential information and activities which he had no idea existed. For John this exposure to The Dark Side of Scientology was very revealing.

At this time the ship was mainly docked at Tangier Morocco where there were some ‘coup de etats’ threatening King Hassan II and his government. As the Apollo was registered under Panama credentials bearing the name of Operation & Transport Corporation ‘OTC’ with no known connection to Scientology, it was free to come and go at will.

During the course of executing his duties, one of the tasks John performed was to send auditors into a designated area under the command of King Hassan II. The purpose of this mission was to ‘Find the Traitors’. Unbeknownst to anyone, King Hassan II had placed some known traitors inthe test block. The Scientology auditors, using E-meters (a crude galvanic skin response meter) identified the planted traitors as well as a number ofothers. King Hassan II was very pleased with the results and Hubbard wrote 5 programs for the king and his government, to operate on. Hubbard was hoping to have a Scientology flag flying over the country of Morocco. Sea Org Orders of the Day ... “we own quite a bit of property over the world will be acquiring more as well as some countries” LRH

(see Plan for World Peace & Sea Org Orders of the Day.)

Sometime around January 8, 1973 we noticed a small news item in thepaper reporting the execution of 13 people in Tangier Morocco. This is very frightening as I know how crude the galvanometer (e-meter) is and I realize that some of those people may have been innocent.

This information alone was enough to place John and his family at risk.

Part II

Our Personal Family Experience After Leaving

On the eve of October 18, 1972 my husband Eric went to our local policestation to report to Inspector Hill that “If any member of our family should call for help we would NEED an immediate response, as we had just left the Church of Scientology”.

On October 19, 1972 Inspector Hill arrived at our door requesting that we talk with members from the Ontario Provincial Police. We as a family hadto look at what the OVERALL ramifications this request might create in Our family life. In the presence of Inspector Hill & OPP Officers Al Ciampani & Ted Bean I said to Eric “If we begin this project, I will want to carry it through to it’s ULTIMATE conclusion which to me means, Inquiries, Police Investigations, Legislative Changes, Helping the OPP, the IRS, the FBI, and Any Other Organization or Persons, that need HELP. ”Remember, Eric took the first step by going to our local police force for help. The sudden appearance of the OPP officers was totally unexpected as we had no idea that there was an ongoing investigation in ONTARIO. Eric was simply seeking protection from harm, as we were reading everything referring to the policies on ethics and SPs prior to leaving the Church of Scientology. These policies were massive, menacing, frightening, and downright terrifying. Therefore we felt that having the protection of the POLICE was essential.

Several intensive meetings between the family & Ted & Al took place a tour home before John returned on November 9, 1972, ostensibly to handle the situation that erupted in the Toronto Org. We provided the officers with copies of all the ethics & SP documentation and anything else they needed, together with our concerns for John’s safety.

John left the ship without signing the required release forms, which meant to him that he had the freedom to speak out. For this reason the McLean family was a MAJOR target and had to be silenced at all cost.

Needless to say John, after his arrival home, informed the officers about the activities of Hubbard and his crew with regards to the Moroccan scene. Our OPP officer’s reported to the RCMP officer’s who reported to the FBI officer’s who reported to Interpol officer’s who informed the Moroccan government officials that the Apollo and its crew were really The Church of Scientology and L Ron Hubbard was its founder. This resulted in Hubbard being denied docking privileges EVER AGAIN in any port of Morocco. Shortly after this Hubbard wrote his famous SNOW WHITE PROGRAM.

HARASSMENT

The first thing that happened to us was a series of phone calls made to several of our immediate neighbours, who very kindly wrote up the content of the calls. Needless to say these calls were designed to create hatred toward The McLean Family in their small community.

(See Letters written by the neighbours)

Next came our very first spy a young man by the name of Nicholas Grimshaw. He was the Qualifications Secretary at the Toronto Org. Nick arrived sometime mid November. He claimed to be a disaffected Scientologist needing sanctuary. We drove him home for Christmas with his own family, and had our privacy back again however he returned early in January.

On New Years Day we received a call from Fred Harris (one of the auditors John sent out on mission to find the traitors). He was sent back to Toronto seemingly a natural move as Toronto was his home base. He wanted to come up immediately. We said NO. However we agreed to pick him up and go to lunch at a public place. After we finished talking in generalities Fred became very intense and DEMANDED that we remain neutral, indicating that if we didn’t we would “end up dead”. He contacted us several more times and each time it became more unpleasant, with Fred always ending with threats against our lives.

When Nick came back there was lots of snow and we wanted to ski, so I bought him a pair of ski boots and he joined us. I believe he enjoyed those outings. However all this came to a grinding halt when I heard Nick talking with someone from the Toronto Org using a phone in MY HOME. During this time we were talking with a reporter from The Toronto Star, named Sydney Katz. Obviously this was why Fred & Nick were spying onus.

(See Handwritten phone #’s by Nick Grimshaw).

Sydney Katz finished the piece and sent it up for approval. It passed through the legal department and right to the top where it was scrubbed. Mr. Katz was very upset for us and made arrangements with Mr. Jim Reedof CTV’s W-5 program to interview us.

During this time John & Eric were served with criminal charges filed by Bryan Levman of Church of Scientology Toronto, charging criminal harassment by telephone. On March 20, 1973 the case went to trial and was DISMISSED.

Pierre Robillard landed on our doorstep 3 days later March 23, 1973 claiming to have blown from the Toronto Org. Since he was a friend of our sand we being still naive & trusting we welcomed him as our next and last houseguest. Three days prior to his sudden departure from us, Pierre agreed to speak with the Metropolitan Police regarding financial matters as they related to the operations of the Toronto Org. He stayed with us 1 calendar month. The day before the CTV W-5 show was aired he left suddenly and without warning. Pierre had previously provided a statement to Mr. Reed producer of W-5 but refused to appear on the program.

April 17, 1973. I have known Nan McLean for more than three years and worked with her at the Scientology organization for most of that period of time. I have found Nan and the rest of the McLeans family to be true to their goals in life.

I personally feel that Bryan Levman is a real power hungry man and isresponsible for my expulsion from the Finance Network. My records as A Finance Banking Officer did not justify the treatment that I got.

In view of all proofs provided by the McLean (sic) and of my own knowledge of the situation, I fully support their decision to expose the injustices stemming from Scientology or in more precise terms caused by the higher echelon of the organization, Bryan Levman.

Sincerely Pierre Robillard.

When Pierre returned to the fold he filed an affidavit that was submitted tothe Police for investigation with regard to activities alleging criminal actson the part of some of the members of the McLean family. Said statement necessitated an investigation by the police. Charges were never laid against any of the family, since the allegations were totally false.

(See Robillard Documents)

On April 22nd 1973 a hand delivered letter to Mr. Murray Chercover, thepresident and Managing Director of CTV network Ltd. with carbon copiesdelivered to fifteen related personnel, alleging :

a)A possible conspiracy to commit libel,

b)The McLean’s are allegedly involved in criminal activities. Said allegations were unsuccessful in preventing the program from airing, and no charges were laid against any member of the McLean family.

Many more harassments occurred during this period. e.g. a man impersonating my husband Eric attempted to divert our personal phone accounts to a downtown Toronto address in order to discover whom wewere in touch with (a standard B1 operation for the Guardian Office (GO) anywhere in the world. B1 meaning the intelligence and dirty tricks Branch of the Guardians Office now known as OSA Office of Special Affairs.The hidden ARM). Janice Wheeler (one of the people charged in theToronto criminal case) stayed in touch for many, many months, reporting back to Scientology after each encounter. Her father Bill Blaco wrote a letter of commendation and support for us.

read letter

This conversation took place on the 23 of April 1973 (the night followingthe TV showing on channel 9 of the McLeans VS Scientology) betweenJanice Wheeler nee Blacoe who is my eldest daughter and myself in herapartment across the street from the Scientology building.

We had discussed the TV show and the Statement made by Janice after I told her that the studio would be careful to screen the show to ensure there would be no liable actions, was that, her organization was out to get the McLeans, both openly and secretly. She proclaimed knowledge that the McLeans had been sponsored by the Mental Health organizations to appear on T.V. to counteract their (scientologists) fight against the Mental Health Organizations.

I have gone out of my way to meet the McLeans, and offer my whole hearted support to them in their efforts to expose scientology for the insidious thing that it is.

I have volunteered this written statement and Mr. Eric McLean and or his family may show it to whom they see fit if it has any hope of furthering their cause. (Signed and inserted contact information)

(see Mr. Blaco’s letter)

At this point I’d like to state I was becoming aware of the potential SPY situation. I felt it was safer to hang on to a person I ‘knew’ as a spy so noother would be sent in. It was easier to control my life that way.

Many anonymous phone calls were made to the Director of Education, followed by a letter alleging that Eric McLean was misusing school equipment for his own personal financial gain. This, of course was an attempt to have Eric FIRED.

Dear Mr McLean,

I wish to report to you that I had a telephone call from a person who wished to lodge a complaint against you as a teacher on the staff of the Don Head School.

The person who called asked for Mr. Chapman, and then for me when he was told that the Director was at a meeting and could not be reached.

Mrs. Turner, my secretary, normally receives my in-coming calls and always request the name of the caller, in this case the caller stated he preferred not to give his name, and Mrs. Turner so reported to me.

The person, whom I judge to be an adult male from the voice, stated that he wished to complain that Mr. Eric McLean was using student Labourin the school to reconstruct a Volkswagon motor car, to be sold at a profit with the profit going to Mr. McLean; that this kind of activity had beengoing on for quite some time and that he thought the Board of Education officials and the Board should move promptly to stop such action.

I explained that the Board’s policy provided for a school shop tounder take a major project, like the purchase and over haul of a motor car,and for the sale of the product, by tender or auction, by the Board of Education; that I knew of such a project at Don Head School, that it has been approved by the Principal and the staff in this office and that Board Policy covered the project.

This information did not satisfy the complainant in any way, and I questioned him to see if I could get at the Issues Involved.

He claimed that he had a son at Don Head and in Mr. McLean’s class; that he would not give me his name, as he was quite certain that the staff and in particular Mr. McLean, would make life very difficult for his son if the news of this call ever got back to the school. Finally, I invitedthe man to come to see me, and to telephone Mrs. Turner for an appointment, as I was prepared for a meeting with him at any available time or day.

I thought that the fact that I had told the man that his complaint would be completely disregarded and go unreported to anyone would encourage him to come to see me, but such has not been the case.

I did report the call to Mr. Chapman, but I have had no further calls from this man.

I know the call was made during the week of January 8, 1973, and believe it was about 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 9 that the call was received

I would end this letter to you, as I ended the conversation with this man, by reporting that I have complete confidence in you, and in your integrity as a person and as a teacher, and that I reject any implication that you would react to a complaint about you by a father by making life difficult for the son.

This letter is as objective as I can make it, and recalls as clearly as I can the details of the conversation. (Signed etc.)

(See copy of letter)

During the next four to five months a number of family members were frightened by obvious episodes of car tampering. Wheel nuts were loosened on three of the family cars and a wheel actually fell off of my daughter’s car nearly causing a major accident. Brake calipers were cut on Eric’s car and 1 week later on my car, AND we live at the top of a hill with a blind turn halfway down. Fortunately for us they weren’t cut deep enough to let go before we became aware of the situation and were able to have them fixed. We turned over the evidence of the cut calipers to the police and I have no knowledge what was done with them.

One morning I realized I was being followed again (a fairly common occurrence) and while proceeding through a major intersection the driver of the tailing car sped up. On the rear right side of my car, said driver, while increasing his speed moved closer and closer edging me toward the left side of the road where there was a deep ditch. I was waiting for the exact moment to gun my car and escape this attempt to cause a major accident. Thank God I was able to do just that. I of course was terrified all the way to my friend’s house. The tailing car remained behind me all theway to my turn off. He sped by so fast I couldn’t get his license plate number. When I arrived at my friend’s house I was still shaking and I immediately phoned Al Ciampini to tell him what had happened to me. I don’t know whether he wrote it down or not as he couldn’t take any action without the license plate number.

This (BI) action represents an overt attempt to cause death by a ‘seeming’ accident.

The W-5 program was aired on April 22, 1973. The aftermath brought our 1st civil lawsuit, which meant that we had to obtain the services of a lawyer. Mr. Barry Miller of Weir & Foulds agreed to represent us. Another suit was brought against me for Breach of Contract and Mr Miller agreed to handle that as well.

On the eve of the hearing for an injunction against me which would ‘forbid me from speaking about Scientology to anyone’, two men were arrested having been found in an elevator shaft room, AFTER the building at 330 University Ave., Toronto, was locked down for the night. They were in possession of burglary tools. The police statement showed that they were... “here to look at some documents ... to get into the Law Firm of Weir &Foulds . The documents belonging to a client of said firm, by the name of Nan McLean.” Coulson & Chornopesky were both known to me as Scientologists, Alan Coulson being a member of the G.O. having changed his name to Keith Summerfield. This operation is a typical B1 action.

(See Coulson & Chornopesky documents)

On February 6th, 1974 Gary Jepson, then President of Church of Scientology of Toronto, phoned the local police indicating that they were going to have a demonstration in front of the McLean residence.

See photos.

Mr. Jepson again phoned on February 8th 1974 to inform the police that they were going to hold a demonstration in front of the Richmond Hill Legion where Eric was addressing a group of Striking Teachers.

On February 12, 1974 Gary yet again phoned the local police informing them that they were holding a Funeral Service in Sutton West that afternoon.

A Funeral for Lost Souls “God is dead !”, too many today say. How often have we heard this idea from people who place all the blame for their condition on the world on God ? How often is religion ridiculed by people who can not take responsibility for the state they are in, and decide it’s all someone else’s fault”

That ‘someone else’ is often God Himself. For the most part, religions havesilently suffered the abuse hurled upon it by the godless. These lost soulswithdraw and disconnect from their friends and even their own families.

The McLeans of Ainsley Hill were expelled from their Church close on two years ago. Since that time they have been continually unwilling to assume responsibility for the consequences of their misdeeds, only trying to shift their own sense of blame to others. They constantly harass the Church and religion in general with lies and rumour mongering. All orthodox religious concepts of Love and Understanding are being ridiculed by what is becoming a new movement in atheistic times.

Is Canada becoming a country of lost souls ? Some Churches stand empty while the streets fill with confused souls and the fear, distrust and betrayal generated by them. Who is responsible for this exodus from God and all His gifts ?

A family once surviving in the life of the spirit, is now succumbing in the mysteries of evil. The McLeans have betrayed all God fearing Canadians.Their dishonesty to themselves is only matched by the anti-God currents of today. In the war for Man’s soul they are traitors to those who believe in Life.

A father, Eric McLean, once proud of his spiritual heritage, now leading his family away from God. Mr. McLean even works for the local Ontario Teachers Federation, which is astonishingly tolerant to what have become irreligious times.

“The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit” (Proverbs 12:5)

For the McLeans and other lost souls in torment, let us pray. Amen.

The Church of Scientology of Toronto.

124 Avenue Road, Toronto, Ontario M5R 2H5.
Phone 921-7258 -Press Line.

Today a solemn funeral was held in downtown Sutton for the ‘Lost souls’ ofthis country.

The souls were prayed for by Reverend Gary Jepson, head of the Church ofScientology of Toronto, and Reverend Philip McAiney, from the Church’s National Office.

A coffin was carried by four pallbearers and the funeral service was held calling on people who have rejected religion to return to the Church.

The local family of Eric McLean of Ainsley Hill in Sutton West was cited by Reverend Jepson as a prime example of a family who has not only rejected religion but tried to convince others to leave their faiths. “Such families blame God or their Church for their state in life,” said Reverend Jepson.

“They harass religious people with their irreligious attitude, sow fear, distrust and suspicion in society, all the time leading their fellows away from God with a ‘hate campaign’ against religion.” Rev. Jepson said Eric McLean even works for the local Ontario Teachers Federation and that this“should not be tolerated in the education system”. We urged all people tohelp by praying for such lost souls who have disconnected and abandoned all religion. Officials of the Church say that the funeral March is meant to act as a prelude to a ‘Religious Revival’ week to be held in the near future.

Never before had the Guardian’s Office gone so far in a public display to ‘Silence & Control’.

Subsequent documents published by Scientology in many, many different forms have ALL stated that said Funeral was conducted by a FEW parishioners and was NOT an official act. Unfortunately for Scientology their cover up doesn’t stand up since the President of the Church of Scientology of Toronto conducted the funeral and the entourage was made up of Guardian Office Personnel as well as a Press Release from their own Press Relations Bureau a Guardian Office division, it clearly represents a B1 activity.

The process known as R 2 45, at the bottom of Page 120 in the book The Creation of Human Ability, shows the process to be “an enormously effective process for exteriorization. BUT it’s use is frowned upon by thissociety at this time”. YES, thank goodness our laws STILL prohibit Murder.

Therefore the funeral for Lost Souls delivered a clear message to US ? ...“McLeans IF YOU DON’T SHUT UP YOU’LL END UP DEAD”. Please remember back in 1973 Fred Harris predicted that outcome.

This is obviously a B1 action, which was very graphic and intimidating.

Sometime in the late 70's a young man was sent to stay at our local hotel.He was supposed to get a job and gather information on The McLeans. His entry was to be through the Georgina Duplicate Bridge Club as I was on the executive and would naturally be present every Tuesday evening. This man appeared several weeks in a row claiming he knew how to play bridge and he was interested. One evening we were 1 person short and I asked him to play. It turns out he didn’t even know how to sort his cards. He knew NOTHING about how to play bridge. NOW I knew for sure that he was a SPY. What I didn’t know was that he was sent here to cause me to have a fatal accident. In other words to KILL me. In an interesting twist of fate he came over to my home one Saturday morning and I started talkingabout scientology, his face got redder and redder until he finally admittedthat he was a scientologist. I then went to work showing him what Scientology was really all about. This of course wasn’t difficult because hehimself was here on a GO mission. Apparently I was successful as he left Sutton and went to the Police and told them about his mission. However itis my understanding that written proof ordering the fatal incident against me, was found in the Toronto raid documents and I couldn’t have them. Fortunately for me, this B1 action to kill me was ABORTED.

The next ITEM I’d like to present to you is very close to my heart and one that saddens me greatly even today.

On January 18, 1974 Walt Curry arrived unannounced and of course we were highly suspicious of his motives. However we made him welcome and between Eric, John and I and Eric’s home made wine we managed to have a nice evening, Walt getting more, and more loose and friendly. We finally got around to taking about all the difficulties we were having with the org. Walt volunteered that the GO, was totally responsible for everything to date, the phone calls to the neighbours, the spy’s etc. I asked him if he would write an affidavit for me to that effect, he said YES. I asked him if he would testify in court and he said YES. Walt then told us an incredible story about his experience while in LA (which he said was the reason he left Scientology).

During his growing up years Walt’s father was I believe a Canadian Ambassador serving in several countries. During his mid teens they werein Korea and naturally he made friends with the local boys.

Walt told us that while he was on course studying in L.A. he was called from study by the Senior Guardian’s Office Staff members and ordered to go on a GO mission to Korea and SPY for Scientology. Somehow the GO had gathered enough information to know that Walt had been a friend to some of the boys who were now in power in Korea. HE REFUSED. He immediately returned to Toronto and ‘blew’ Scientology.

I again asked if he would file an affidavit for us and he said YES. I again asked if he would testify in court for us and again he said YES. Sometime in August 1975 during my doubt period about Emile Gilbert I decided to test him by telling him what Walt Curry was preparing to do for US. Emile’s immediate response to each of the points was shock and a quick “has he filed the affidavit yet ?” I replied that he had NOT.

Please remember that the more sensitive and critical the information you have is, the greater the threat you are to Scientology.

Two days later Emile phoned me and told me Walt Curry was DEAD. I was horrified, I almost blurted out the question “Who killed him ?” instead Iasked him how he died and was told it was a tent fire along with one other person and that there was one survivor. Very little was said after that andwe hung up.

My next move was to go immediately to the Police Station where I requested a private interview room. I made them take my report adding one more thing, that I believed Walt Curry was murdered by scientology. I heard from someone in Toronto who tried to have me withdraw my wholereport. I REFUSED. And on September 25, 1975 I received a letter from Provincial Constable L.E. Carter informing me that there was to be an inquest on October 24, 1975 and that I was welcome to attend. On September 30, 1975 I received a summons to appear at the inquest. My husband Eric went with me and when we arrived I was told that my testimony would not be necessary. That was not acceptable to me. I demanded that I be heard and was granted that right, BUT only after the inquest concluded which meant that the jurors had heard the information presented from the perspective of making safety recommendations to the manufacturers of camping gear. By the time I was allowed to testify I couldn’t make them listen, I couldn’t make them understand the discrepancies that had been present in the testimony all through the inquest. I was very disturbed as they appeared to have been given a direction to follow which did not address the issue of possible MURDER.This is very painful to me as I feel responsible for Walt Curry’s death.

On April 18, 1974 the injunction, which would have denied me the right tospeak about Scientology on radio and television in the Breach of Contract Suit, was heard and denied. On April 29, 1974, this decision was appealed by The Church of Scientology and said injunction was granted until the Breach of Contract case was tried in court. Said case was NEVER HEARD and the injunction remained in place until all lawsuits were disbursed in1987.

In Dissemination of Material, L Ron Hubbard wrote ... The purpose ofthe suit is to harass and discourage rather than to win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway, well knowing that he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease. If possible, of course, ‘ruin him utterly’.”

The LAW was used to harass me, and silence me, as The Church of Scientology always had some excuse for not proceeding with the lawsuit. This constituted yet another B1 action.

(See Magazine articles of Level 0)

Sometime in the mid 1980's John & I had to go to Tampa for a SummaryTrial. After take off and while still climbing, the plane suddenly turned around and the captain announced that we were returning to Toronto on a technicality. We spoke with the head steward asking whether the captain had received a bomb threat. We further indicated that we believed we knew why as we were on our way to a Scientology Trial in Tampa Fla. and if we didn’t arrive there would be no trial.

As soon as we landed, away from all buildings, busses arrived to pick up the passengers to deliver them back to the terminal. We were escorted directly to the intelligence room and questioned. I asked to be able to phone Detective Al Ciampini and when I finally reached him I told him what was happening to us and asked for his assistance as we were being interrogated rather heavily. It was rather frightening for the passengers, and a very costly procedure for the Air Line. When we finally did arrive inTampa very late that afternoon the scientologists were there taking our pictures as we deplaned.

Later on after returning home Al told me that the call was made from the public phone booth right beside the Church of Scientology. As there was no direct evidence, no charges could be laid.

Coincidence ??? I don’t think so. B1 again.

On January 15, 1986 a Sears employee phoned me to tell me that the parcel I had ordered had arrived. I asked what was in it and was told there were five knives. As I had not placed the order and it was charged to MY Sears Account I contacted Inspector McCauseland of 39 Division who checked into the matter indicating that the order couldn’t be traced. Thenon June 3, 1986 PC D. Hunt attended my home and took a statement in regards to the knives from Sears and the FRAUDULENT use of my Account. We then went to the Sears store in Sutton where PC Hunt noted the parcel labels and witnessed me opening all five boxes, each with aknife in it. See report.

Still another B1 action, this time in the form of a symbolic death threat.

A number of defamatory untrue documents originating from The Church of Scientology sources about the McLeans have been circulated as well as ‘Dead Agenting’ materials. (a process of telling stories to negateinformation)

The McLean family variously and individually have been sued 17 times by the Church of Scientology, which has the reputation of being one of the‘most litigious organizations in the world’.

In Tampa, in 1987, The Church of Scientology induced ALL it’s critics who had Florida based lawsuits and their solicitors to come to Tampa for settlement talks. This meant a horrendous day in court. Each of the partie sand their lawyers were in a totally protected separate part of the courtroom. The Judge was at her station available to the lawyers for clarification and any necessary rulings. Finally everyone had reached their acceptance level EXCEPT me (even my son John was ready to settle). I wanted our day in court with ALL records available to the public. There quirement for this settlement was that ALL PLAINTIFF`S had to settle RIGHT NOW THIS VERY DAY or there was NO settlement. The judge realizing that I was the only hold out indicated that she wanted to see The McLeans in her chambers together with Mr. Logan. No sooner were we walking into the room than she started in on me. Her demean or washarsh, unfriendly, forceful and intimidating. She demanded to know why Iwouldn’t settle. I explained that I wanted justice to prevail and the public at large to have a reference point to work from. I felt our case needed to be heard in court. The judge was exasperated with me and my hold back. She wanted this settlement and she didn’t care about what I wanted. This was a HUGE win for her. Finally she forcefully stated that I’d better settle“RIGHT NOW OR ELS ! I can’t guarantee a court date this year. I can’t guarantee a court date next year and I can’t guarantee a court date the following year or the year after that. So you’d better settle right now !”

I was in tears by this time. Mr. Logan tried to console me by saying “they haven’t taken your right to council away, and you can reconstruct your document collection. (Especially the FBI documents I had worked so hard and so long to collect at my own personal expense)”.

Throughout the years I have been contacted by a steady stream of operatives, whose intention was to gather information and steal documents. The following people had varying degrees of success at their endeavors:

Gary McKague of Ottawa. Gary has used references of alleged collaboration with Eric McLean to author a book, in order to obtain information from government offices most specifically Mental Health Organizations and Mr. George Rhon.

Jonathan James, which is an alias for Chris Palmer was sent to gather upper level materials from me.

Vera Slevin tried to gain admittance as an old friend for the purpose of getting Upper Level Materials.

Bill Hess who is also known as Mike Shannon from Portland also wantedUpper Level Materials.

Dick Bast a private investigator hired by The Church of Scientology to gather information from Paulette Cooper, however since I was there at thetime, we were thrown together.

Fred Cain who was an employee of Dick Bast was hired to get information FOR The Church of Scientology.

Merril Vannier is a lawyer and a GO operative. He stole all my defense documents from my lawyer’s office.

PART III

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT ?

The biggest hurdle we have to jump in my humble opinion is:

Scientology as a Religion.

Scientology hides behind this cloak and legislators, judges & jurors, police persons & governmental officials are all AFRAID to take action against a socalled religion.

If a religion has a hidden arm that is guilty of CRIMES and hurts decent law abiding citizens shouldn’t it be charged and punished regardless of its RELIGIOUS STATUS ?

If a religion has a hidden arm which is guilty of committing CRIMES, should it HAVE RELIGIOUS STATUS ?

The government of Australia should ban the illegal, & unethical practicesof The Church of Scientology. Victoria, New South Wales, took it a step further and actually banned the Church of Scientology but unfortunately it forgot to close the back door, which Scientology is famous for using. Any legislation designed to limit the organization from functioning within the country must include ‘or by any other name’.

Government Officials MUST TAKE more responsibility before giving endorsements to any product, thought or idea.

(see article)

Governments must label Scientology as a FRAUDULENT ORGANIZATION, as in truth it cannot deliver God powers to an OT VIII per the 1970 grade chart. Since the critics have exposed this part of the fraud, Hubbard removed the complete description from the chart leaving simply “the abilities for the level” as the actual end product. Scientology also promises to raise an individual’s I.Q. and all auditing is fraudulent.

Scientology fraudulently professes to be a church. In a Breach of Contract suit brought against me The Church of Scientology claimed damages for loss of business. (See document)

Scientology’s Method of Controlling the Ruling Body:

One of Hubbard’s policies is called The Department of Government Affairs which states in part ... “always find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause them to sue for peace”

See document.

While in Calgary visiting friends who had just left Scientology I went to gether with Mr. John Hooker to Edmonton to speak with the Minister of Consumer Affairs for the Province of Alberta. The purpose of our visit was to present information to the Ministry and to see if we could Label Scientology as a fraudulent organization. We talked for awhile and the Minister turned to me and asked me whether I knew anyone who “didn’t have something to hide”. I was stunned for a moment as I wasn’t expecting such a question from the Minister of Consumer Affairs. I demurely replied “I haven’t”, and the Minister rising up with his hands on his massive mahogany desk in a forceful angry tone responded,

“WELL I HAVE”.

In the name of JUSTICE some officials might need to recuse themselves. Either we have the strength to go beyond our own personal fears or we haven’t and if we haven’t WE MUST HAVE THE STRENGTH TO RECUSE OURSELVES.

TEST FOR TAX FREE STATUS.

Presented by: Nan McLean

Part I: Scientology Experience

It is my understanding that you are open for submissions regarding whether Religions and Charities should have ‘Tax Free’ status in Australia. I further believe that you are open to receiving information internationally. Scientology is a subject I know a great deal about and I feel qualified to make a submission. I shall extract a number of points from a video I created for Senator Xenophon earlier in the year. I will also add some new material regarding a different aspect of Scientology than I presented in my video.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I became involved with Scientology in June 1969 after taking the basic Communication Course. I fell in love with the techniques of Scientology and the promised bridge to ‘Total Freedom’ which in those days stated, that after completing OT VIII which is the highest level attainable in Scientology, a human being will have

“The ability to be at cause BOTH subjectively and objectively over matter,energy, space and time.” L Ron Hubbard. See 1970 grade chart.

Anyone achieving this level with all of its advertised abilities would then be GOD. I now realize that this fraudulent misrepresentation of the human potential is used constantly by Scientology however at the time I was captivated by the conceptual possibilities.

****A further example of L. Ron Hubbard’s belief in his own divinity canbe found in an OT III tape

“I have mapped the route for everyone’s safe journey through the many pitfalls one could fall into and die”.

After completing the Communication Course I raised the money to walk inand pay for the Dianetic Auditing Course. I was a paying public person as opposed to a lowly staff member, therefore I was very valuable to theToronto Organization.

I followed the Dianetic Auditing Course with the Ministers Course and asa member of the first ordination ceremony in Canada I became anordained minister of the Church of Scientology. The church didn’t have any religious status in Canada, however it was and still is a civilization unto itself. We had our own laws as written by L. Ron Hubbard universally practiced throughout the Scientology World, and for a Scientologist there is no other world.

An illustration of this appears in Hubbard Communication Office PolicyLetter January 4, 1955: LRH Relationships to Orgs.

“Somebody someday will say...this is illegal… By then be sure the orgs say what is legal or not.”

At this point in my scientology life I ran out of available cash and decided to join the Toronto Org Staff. Before I could assume a post I went into training to become a Staff Member by passing Basic Staff Hat courses I &II. My first post was that of File Clerk. It was my job to file reams & reams of HCO P\LS (Hubbard Communication Office Policy Letters) & HCOBS (Hubbard Communication Office Bulletins) & miscellaneous documents into their rightful sections and folders. One morning I came across the Fair Game Policy HCOP\L

“may be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.”

I had not seen this policy before, it was not a part of my basic staff hat training. It was signed L Ron Hubbard. I was very, very disturbed and sought our A\G Canada (assistant guardian Canada {Brian Levman}) who patted me on the head (Brian aged 23 Nan aged 47 at the time) and said,“Don’t you worry about that Nan, it’s been cancelled”. I requested a copy of the cancellation policy and was referred to HCO P\L 21 October 1968 which states,

“The practice of declaring people FAIR GAME will cease. FAIR GAME may not appear on any ethics orders. It causes bad public relations. ThisP\L does not cancel any policy on the treatment or handling of an SP.”

L Ron Hubbard. (Pg 489 OEC Vol. I).

After viewing this cancellation I blurted out, “that Policy Letter doesn’t cancel any of the actions taken against an SP (the designated label for anyone who is regarded as an enemy of The Church of Scientology)”.

I was again tapped on the head and told that I was not to worry about it as it was no concern of mine. Unfortunately I accepted Mr. Levman’s explanation because I needed it to be true in order to continue in Scientology. In my opinion, this is the first step taken by me, or any other Scientologist, in Self Brainwashing. We, the Scientologists, want the technology so badly that we apply any excuse to cover up the blatant, obvious, deceptions Hubbard is feeding us. (See Fair Game Law & its’ cancellation).

I later obtained a document through my research which stated

… ‘It’s OK to lie under oath in court for Scientology’…

I made several copies of this document available to the press both in Clearwater Florida and in Ontario. The O.P.P. (Ontario Provincial Police) borrowed and never returned my original. (I have made many, manyattempts to get it back to no avail). All copies have subsequently been removed from the files of the offices I sent them to as well as my own.

Training routine L (meaning lie) a drill that must be done by students who are training to be guardian information operatives, reinforces the spirit ofthe above mentioned document. See training routine L.

I had many issues with Hubbard’s policies and I had to continually brainwash myself by making excuses while at the same time accepting them. I did this because I could see for myself that government personnel and the general non/Scientology public, did not treat us well. In my mind I justified the policies as Hubbard’s desperate measures created to promote the survival and expansion of Scientology.

My youngest son John left grade 13 in February 1971 and joined The Sea Organization signing a 1 billion year contract before joining L. Ron Hubbard on his Flagship Apollo, the Mecca for Scientologists. Two months later my son Bruce and his wife Dawn moved to Toronto with their two small children and joined the Toronto Staff. Some months later my husband Eric, signed up as a paying client. Eric was treated as a celebrity because he was Chief Executive Officer for District 11 Ontario Secondary School Teacher’s Federation. Our daughter Susan was our only non-Scientologist.

While I was still a Staff Member in good standing, I was ordered by the ED Emile Gilbert, the Dissemination Secretary Stewart Smith, and the Flag Banking Officer Pierre Robillard to go to 2 different banks as a loan guarantor for 2 different Scientologists. I refused and was threatened with expulsion. When finally I agreed I was ordered to falsify my incomeand to list Emile Gilbert as my employer (which he was not). In both instances I was accepted as the guarantor and the two applicants received their loans. The money in both cases was immediately turned over to Scientology in its entirety. I had so brainwashed myself that I, a woman who was unable to tell a lie had actually committed an act of perjury.

***http://www.YouTube NanMcLean>

Sometime in late March 1973, I received a telephone call from a staff member of each of the two banks, demanding arrears payments. I was toldin both cases that I would have to assume the balance of the debt. I then indicated to each of the banking officers that I had recently left The Church of Scientology and that I had no intentions of assuming this debt. I further informed the banking officers that I had been ordered by Scientologists to commit this act of perjury AND that I had already gone to the police about it. In both cases I received notification letters from the banks, and never heard another word from them. (See bank letters).

After serving a little over a year John came home on leave in April 1972(at the family’s expense of course) and returned in early May with Knowledge Reports for Hubbard about many ‘off policy’ procedures being practiced in the Toronto Org. Most of these reports were written by me although Bruce, Dawn & Eric wrote one or two. (See Knowledge reports)

Hubbard’s policy was and is, “if you can’t get things corrected in your own area, go outside the org. and proceed up the lines right to Hubbard, if necessary.” On the eve of John’s departure he indicated to me that he was a safe terminal and could be trusted to follow policy to the letter and since we couldn’t get anything working ‘on policy’ in Toronto, he would be our messenger.

On May 12, 1972 a midnight staff meeting was called and since I was ‘Day Org’ Staff - Monday to Friday, I was not in attendance, however my son Bruce was. This meeting was conducted by Emile Gilbert (ED Toronto) & Bryan Levman (AG/Can) and unmerci fully attacked the McLean familyand verbally placed them in ‘Treason’. This label incited the whole staff to believe that the McLean family had committed an act of treason towards the Church of Scientology. This ‘off policy’ staff meeting was a direct result of the knowledge reports carried to Hubbard by John. There followed a number of communications back and forth from all of the Mcleans to Hubbard as well as from Levman to Hubbard which culminated in Hubbard ordering the ‘Joburg Security Check’ being applied to all the McLeans in Toronto and the ED Emile Gilbert. As thissecurity check had long since been cancelled (by Hubbard) we challengedthis directive. This meant Bryan Levman had to show us the telex he received directly from Hubbard himself, after which we submitted to thecheck. (See Joburg Security Check and Mclean/Hubbard communications)

When John returned to the ship in May 1972 he was promoted to 3rd Mate FSO (Flag Ship Org), a post he held until he left. He suddenly became privy to confidential information and activities which he had no idea existed. For John this exposure to The Dark Side of Scientology was very revealing.

At this time the ship was mainly docked at Tangier Morocco where there were some ‘Coup de Etats’ threatening King Hassan II and his government. As the Apollo was registered under Panama credentials bearing the name of Operation & Transport Corporation ‘OTC’ with no known connection to Scientology, it was free to come and go at will.

During the course of executing his duties, one of the tasks John performed was to send auditors into a designated area under the command of King Hassan II. The purpose of this mission was to ‘Find the Traitors’. Unbeknownst to anyone, King Hassan II had placed some known traitorsin the test block. The Scientology auditors, using E-meters (a crude galvanic skin response meter) identified the planted traitors as well as anumber of others. This is very frightening as I know how crude thegalvanometer (e-meter) is and I realize that some of those people may have been innocent. King Hassan II was very pleased with the results and Hubbard wrote 5 programs for the king and his government, to operate on. Hubbard was hoping to have a Scientology flag flying over the country of Morocco. Sea Org Orders of the Day

...“we own quite a bit of property over the world will be acquiring more as well as some countries” - LRH.

(see Plan for World Peace & Sea Org Orders of the Day.)

This information alone was enough to place John and his family at risk.

From this point on things went down hill rapidly. On October 17, 1972,following a five-hour interrogation, I walked out of the Toronto org. and The Church of Scientology, followed by the rest of my local family. In response we were expelled from the church.

Part II

Our Personal Family Experience

On the eve of October 18, 1972 my husband Eric went to our local police station to report to Inspector Hill that,

“If any member of our family should call for help we would need an immediate response, as we have just left the Church of Scientology”.

On October 19, 1972 Inspector Hill arrived at our door requesting that we talk with members from the Ontario Provincial Police. We as a family had to look at what the overall ramifications this request might create in our family life. In the presence of Inspector Hill & OPP Officers Al Ciampani& Ted Bean I said to Eric “If we begin this project, I will want to carry it through to it’s ultimate conclusion which to me means, inquiries, police investigations, legislative changes, helping the OPP, the IRS, the FBI, and any other organization or persons, that need help.”

Eric had taken the first step by going to our local police force for assistance however, the sudden appearance of the OPP officers was totally unexpected. We had no idea that there was an ongoing investigation in Ontario at the time these officers appeared on our door step. Eric wassimply seeking protection from harm, as we had read everything we could find that referred to the policies on ethics and SPs prior to leaving the Church of Scientology. These policies were massive, menacing, frightening, and downright terrifying. Therefore we felt that having the protection of the Police was essential.

Several intensive meetings between the family & Ted & Al took place atour home before John returned on November 9, 1972, ostensibly to handlethe situation that erupted in the Toronto Org. We provided the officerswith copies of all the ethics & SP documentation and anything else theyneeded, together with our concerns for John’s safety.

John left the ship without signing the required release forms, which meant to him that he had the freedom to speak out. For this reason the McLean family was a Major target and had to be silenced at all cost.

Needless to say John, after his arrival home, informed the officers about the activities of Hubbard and his crew with regards to the Moroccan scene. Our OPP officers reported to RCMP officers who reported to FBI officers who reported to Interpol officers who informed the Moroccan government officials that the Apollo and its crew were really The Churchof Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard was its founder. This resulted in Hubbard being denied docking privileges ever again in any port of Morocco. Shortly after this Hubbard wrote his famous Snow White Program.

HARASSMENT.

The first thing that happened to us was a series of phone calls made toseveral of our immediate neighbours, who very kindly wrote up the content of the calls. Needless to say these calls were designed to create hatred toward The McLean Family in their small community. (See Letters written by the neighbours)

Next came our very first spy, a young man by the name of Nicholas Grimshaw. He was the Qualifications Secretary at the Toronto Org. Nickarrived sometime mid November. He claimed to be a disaffected Scientologist needing sanctuary. We drove him home for Christmas withhis own family, and had our privacy back again however he returned early in January.

On New Year’s Day we received a call from Fred Harris (one of the auditors John had sent out on mission to find the traitors). He was sent back to Toronto seemingly a natural move as Toronto was his home base. He wanted to come up immediately. We initially said no, however we did agree to pick him up and go to lunch at a public place. After we finished talking in generalities Fred became very intense and demanded that were main neutral, indicating that if we didn’t we would “end up dead”. He contacted us several more times and each time it became more unpleasant, with Fred always ending with threats against our lives.

When Nick came back there was lots of snow and we wanted to ski, so I bought him a pair of ski boots and he joined us. I believe he enjoyed those outings. However all this came to a grinding halt when I heard Nick talking with someone from the Toronto Org using a phone in MY HOME. During this time we were talking with a reporter from The Toronto Star, named Sydney Katz. Obviously this was why Fred & Nick were spying on us. (See Handwritten phone #’s by Nick Grimshaw).

Sydney Katz finished the piece and sent it up for approval. It passed through the legal department and right to the top where it was scrubbed. Mr. Katz was very upset for us and made arrangements with Mr. Jim Reedof CTV’s W-5 program to interview us.

During this time John & Eric were served with criminal charges filed by Bryan Levman of The Church of Scientology Toronto, charging criminal harassment by telephone. On March 20, 1973 the case went to trial andwas dismissed.

Pierre Robillard landed on our doorstep 3 days later March 23, 1973 claiming to have left the Toronto Org. Since he was a friend of ours and webeing still naive & trusting we welcomed him as our next and last houseguest. Three days prior to his sudden departure from us, Pierre holding the post of Flag Banking Officer for Toronto, agreed to speak withthe Metropolitan Police regarding financial matters as they related to the operations of the Toronto Org. He stayed with us 1 calendar month. Theday before the CTV W-5 show was aired he left suddenly and without warning. Pierre had previously provided a statement to Mr. Reed producer of W-5 but refused to appear on the program.

PIERRE ROBILLARD’S STATEMENT.

April 17, 1973. I have known Nan McLean for more than three years and worked with her at the Scientology organization for most of that period of time. I have found Nan and the rest of the McLeans family to be true to their goals in life.

I personally feel that Bryan Levman is a real power hungry man and isresponsible for my expulsion from the Finance Network. My records as A Finance Banking Officer did not justify the treatment that I got.

In view of all proofs provided by the McLean (sic) and of my own knowledge of the situation, I fully support their decision to expose the injustices stemming from Scientology or in more precise terms caused by the higher echelon of the organization, Bryan Levman.

Signed by Pierre
Sincerely Pierre Robillard.

When Pierre returned to the fold he filed an affidavit that was submitted to the Police for investigation with regard to activities alleging criminal acts on the part of some of the members of the McLean family. Said statement necessitated an investigation by the police. Charges were neverlaid against any of the family, since the allegations were totally false.

(See Robillard Documents)

On April 22nd 1973 a letter was hand delivered to Mr. Murray Chercover, the president and Managing Director of CTV network Ltd. with carbon copies also delivered to fifteen related personnel, alleging:

    a) A possible conspiracy to commit libel,
    b) The McLean’s are allegedly involved in criminal activities. Said allegations were unsuccessful in preventing the program from airing, and no charges were laid against any member of the McLean family.

Many more harassments occurred during this period. For example a man impersonating my husband Eric attempted to divert our personal phone accounts to a downtown Toronto address in order to discover whom we were in touch with (a standard B1 operation for the Guardian Office (GO) anywhere in the world. B1 meaning the intelligence and dirty tricks Branch of the Guardians Office now known as OSA Office of Special Affairs (the hidden ARM). Janice Wheeler (one of the people later charged in the Toronto criminal case) stayed in touch for many, many months, reporting back to Scientology after each encounter. Her father Bill Blaco wrote a letter of commendation and support for us.

BILL BLACOE’S LETTER.

This conversation took place on the 23 of April 1973 (the night following the TV showing on channel 9 of the McLeans VS Scientology) between Janice Wheeler nee Blacoe who is my eldest daughter and myself in her apartment across the street from the Scientology building.

We had discussed the TV show and the Statement made by Janice after I told her that the studio would be careful to screen the show to ensure there would be no liable actions, was that, her organization was out to get the McLeans, both openly and secretly. She proclaimed knowledge that the McLeans had been sponsored by the Mental Health organizations to appear on T.V. to counteract their (scientologists) fight against the Mental Health Organizations.

I have gone out of my way to meet the McLeans, and offer my whole hearted support to them in their efforts to expose scientology for the insidious thing that it is.

I have volunteered this written statement and Mr. Eric McLean and or hisfamily may show it to whom they see fit if it has any hope of furthering their cause. (Signed and inserted contact information)

At this point I’d like to state I was becoming aware of the potential SPY situation. I felt it was safer to hang on to a person I ‘knew’ as a spy so no other would be sent in. It was easier to control my life that way. Many anonymous phone calls were made to the Director of Education, followed by a letter alleging that Eric McLean was misusing school equipment for his own personal financial gain. This, of course was an attempt to have Eric fired.

MR GORDON McINTYRE’S LETTER.

January 26, 1973.
Dear Mr. McLean,

I wish to report to you that I had a telephone call from a person who wished to lodge a complaint against you as a teacher on the staff of the Don Head School.

The person who called asked for Mr. Chapman, and then for mewhen he was told that the Director was at a meeting and could not be reached.

Mrs. Turner, my secretary, normally receives my in-coming calls, and always requests the name of the caller; in this case the caller stated he preferred not to give his name, and Mrs. Turner so reported to me.

The person, whom I judge to be an adult male from the voice, stated that he wished to complain that Mr. Eric McLean was using student labourin the school to reconstruct a Volkswagon motor car, to be sold at a profit with the profit going to Mr. McLean. That this kind of activity had beengoing on for quite some time and that he thought the Board of Education officials and the Board should move promptly to stop such action.

I explained that the Board’s policy provided for a school shop tounder take a major project, like the purchase and overhaul of a motor car, and for the sale of the product, by tender or auction, by the Board of Education; that I knew of such a project at Don Head School, that it has been approved by the Principal and the staff is this office and that Board Policy covered the project.

This information did not satisfy the complainant in any way, and I questioned him to see if I could get at the issues involved.

He claimed that he had a son at Don Head and in Mr. McLean’sclass; that he would not give me his name, as he was quite certain that the staff and in particular Mr. McLean, would make life very difficult for his son if the news of this call ever got back to the school.

Finally, I invited the man to come to see me, and to telephone Mrs.Turner for an appointment, as I was prepared for a meeting with him at any suitable time or day.

I thought that the fact that I had told the man that his complaint would be completely disregarded and go unreported to anyone would encourage him to come to see me, but such has not been the case.

I did report the call to Mr. Chapman, but I have had no further calls from this man.

I know the call was made during the week of January 8, 1973, and believe it was about 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 9 that the call was received.

I would end this letter to you, as I ended the conversation with this man, by reporting that I have complete confidence in you, and in your integrity as a person and as a teacher, and that I reject any implication that you would react to a complaint about by a father by making life difficult for the son.

This letter is as objective as I can make it, and recalls as clearly as Ican the details of the conversation. Signed G.S. McIntyre; Associate Director of the York County Board of Education.

See McIntyre Letter

During the next four to five months a number of family members were frightened by obvious episodes of car tampering. Wheel nuts were loosened on three of the family cars and a wheel actually fell off of my daughter’s car nearly causing a major accident. Brake calipers were cut on Eric’s car and 1 week later on my car, and we live at the top of a hill with ablind turn half way down. Fortunately for us they weren’t cut deep enough to let go before we became aware of the situation and were able to fix them. We turned over the evidence of the cut calipers to the police and I have no knowledge what was done with them.

One morning I realized I was being followed again (a fairly common occurrence) and while proceeding through a major intersection the driver of the tailing car sped up. On the rear right side of my car, said driver,while increasing his speed moved closer and closer edging me toward the left side of the road where there was a deep ditch. I was waiting for the exact moment to gun my car and escape this attempt to cause a major accident. Thank God I was able to do just that. I, of course, was terrified all the way to my friend’s house. The tailing car remained behind me all the way to my turn off. He sped by so fast I couldn’t get his license plate number. When I arrived at my friend’s house I was still shaking and Iimmediately phoned Al Ciampini to tell him what had happened to me. I don’t know whether he wrote it down or not as he couldn’t take any action without the license plate number.

This represents an overt attempt to cause death by a ‘seeming accident.’

The W-5 program was aired on April 22, 1973. The aftermath brought our 1st civil lawsuit, which meant that we had to obtain the services of alawyer. Mr. Barry Miller of Weir & Foulds agreed to represent us. Another suit was brought against me for Breach of Contract and Mr Miller agreed to handle that as well.

On the eve of the hearing for an injunction against me which would ‘forbid me from speaking about Scientology to anyone’, two men were arrested having been found in an elevator shaft room, AFTER the building at 330 University Ave., Toronto, was locked down for the night. They were in possession of burglary tools. The police statement showed that they were... “here to look at some documents ... to get into the Law Firm of Weir & Foulds” ... The documents belonging to a client of said firm, by the name of Nan McLean. Coulson & Chornopesky were both known to me as Scientologists, Alan Coulson being a member of the G.O. having changed his name to Keith Summerfield. This operation is a typical B1 action. (See Coulson & Chornopesky documents)

On February 6th, 1974 Gary Jepson, then President of Church of Scientology of Toronto, phoned the local police indicating that they were going to have a demonstration in front of the McLean residence.

See photos.

Mr. Jepson again phoned on February 8th 1974 to inform the police that they were going to hold a demonstration in front of the Richmond Hill Legion where Eric was addressing a group of Striking Teachers.

On February 12, 1974 Gary yet again phoned the local police informing them that they were holding a Funeral Service in Sutton West that afternoon.

A Funeral for Lost Souls

“God is dead !”, too many today say. How often have we heard this idea from people who place all the blame for their condition on the world on God ? How often is religion ridiculed by people who can not take responsibility for the state they are in, and decide it’s all someone else’s fault”

That ‘someone else’ is often God Himself. For the most part, religions have silently suffered the abuse hurled upon it by the godless. These lost souls withdraw and disconnect from their friends and even their own families.

The McLeans of Ainsley Hill were expelled from their Church close on two years ago. Since that time they have been continually unwilling to assume responsibility for the consequences of their misdeeds, only trying to shift their own sense of blame to others. They constantly harass the Church and religion in general with lies and rumour mongering. Allorthodox religious concepts of Love and Understanding are being ridiculed by what is becoming a new movement in atheistic times.

Is Canada becoming a country of lost souls ? Some Churches stand empty while the streets fill with confused souls and the fear, distrust and betrayal generated by them. Who is responsible for this exodus from God and all His gifts ?

A family once surviving in the life of the spirit, is now succumbing in the mysteries of evil. The McLeans have betrayed all God fearing Canadians. Their dishonesty to themselves is only matched by the anti-God currents of today. In the war for Man’s soul they are traitors to those who believe in Life.

A father, Eric McLean, once proud of his spiritual heritage, now leadinghis family away from God. Mr. McLean even works for the local Ontario Teachers Federation, which is astonishingly tolerant to what have become irreligious times.

“The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit” (Proverbs 12:5)

For the McLeans and other lost souls in torment, let us pray. Amen.

The Church of Scientology of Toronto.

Today a solemn funeral was held in downtown Sutton for the ‘Lost souls’ of this country.

The souls were prayed for by Reverend Gary Jepson, head of the Churchof Scientology of Toronto, and Reverend Philip McAiney, from the Church’s National Office.

A coffin was carried by four pallbearers and the funeral service was held calling on people who have rejected religion to return to the Church.

The local family of Eric McLean of Ainsley Hill in Sutton West was cited by Reverend Jepson as a prime example of a family who has not only rejected religion but tried to convince others to leave their faiths. “Such familie blame God or their Church for their state in life,” said Reverend Jepson.

“They harass religious people with their irreligious attitude, sow fear,distrust and suspicion in society, all the time leading their fellows away from God with a ‘hate campaign’ against religion.” Rev. Jepson said Eric McLean even works for the local Ontario Teachers Federation and that this “should not be tolerated in the education system”. We urged all people to help by praying for such lost souls who have disconnected and abandoned all religion. Officials of the Church say that the funeral Marchis meant to act as a prelude to a ‘Religious Revival’ week to be held in thenear future.

Never before had the Guardian’s Office gone so far in a public display tosilence and control. Subsequent documentations published by Scientology in many, many different forms have all stated that said funeral was conducted by a few parishioners and was not an official act. Unfortunately for Scientology their explanation doesn’t stand up as the President of the Church of Scientology of Toronto conducted the funeral and the entourage was made up of Guardian Office Personnel. The press release they issued on the funeral was from their own Press Relations Bureau a GuardianOffice division. This clearly represents a B1 activity, which was very graphic and intimidating.

The process known as R 2 45 which Hubbard refers to as,

“an enormously effective process for exteriorization. BUT its’ use is frowned upon by this society at this time”.

See page 120 of The Creation of Human Ability by L.Ron Hubbard.

outlines the use of a Colt 45 on a human being. Thank goodness our laws still prohibit murder.

It became clear that this funeral for Lost Souls was a message delivered to the Mclean family!

‘McLeans If You Don’t Shut Up You’ll End Up Dead’.

Sometime in the late 70's a young man was sent to stay at our local hotel. He was supposed to get a job and gather information on the McLeans. His entry was to be through the Georgina Duplicate Bridge Club as I was on the executive and would naturally be present every Tuesday evening. This man appeared several weeks in a row claiming he knew how to play bridge and he was interested. One evening we were 1 person short and I asked him to play. It turns out he didn’t even know how to sort his cards. He knew nothing about how to play bridge. Now I knew for sure that he was aspy. What I didn’t know was that he was sent here to cause me to have a fatal accident. In other words to kill me. In an interesting twist of fate he came over to my home one Saturday morning and I started talking about scientology, his face got redder and redder until he finally admitted that he was a scientologist. I then went to work showing him what Scientology was really all about. This of course wasn’t difficult because he himself was here on a GO mission. Apparently I was successful as he left Sutton and went to the Police and told them about his mission. It is my understanding that written proof, ordering the fatal incident against me, was found in the Toronto raid documents and I couldn’t have them. Fortunately for me, this B1 action to kill me was aborted.

The next item I’d like to present to you is very close to my heart and one that saddens me greatly even today.

On January 18, 1974 Walt Curry arrived unannounced and of course we were highly suspicious of his motives. However we made him welcome and between Eric, John and I and Eric’s homemade wine we managed to have a nice evening, Walt getting more, and more loose and friendly. We finally got around to taking about all the difficulties we were having with the org. Walt volunteered that the GO, was totally responsible for everything to date, the phone calls to the neighbours, the spy’s etc. I asked him if he would write an affidavit for me to that effect, he said YES.I asked him if he would testify in court and he said YES. Walt then told usan incredible story about his experience while in LA (which he said was the reason he left Scientology).

During his growing up years Walt’s father was I believe a Canadian Ambassador serving in several countries. During his mid teens they werein Korea and naturally he made friends with the local boys.

Walt told us that while he was on course studying in L.A. he was called from study by the Senior Guardian’s Office Staff members and ordered togo on a GO mission to Korea and SPY for Scientology. Somehow the GO had gathered enough information to know that Walt had been a friend tosome of the boys who were now in power in Korea. He refused. He immediately returned to Toronto and ‘blew’ Scientology.

I again asked if he would file an affidavit for us and he said yes. I againasked if he would testify in court for us and again he said yes. Sometime in August 1975 during my doubt period about Emile Gilbert (who was representing himself as a Scientology victim) I decided to test him by telling him what Walt Curry was preparing to do for us. Emile’s immediate response to each of the points was shock and a quick “has he filed the affidavit yet?” I replied that he had not.

Please remember that the more sensitive and critical the information you have the greater the threat you are to Scientology.

Two days later Emile phoned me and told me Walt Curry was dead. I washorrified, I almost blurted out the question “Who killed him?” instead Iasked him how he died and was told it was a tent fire along with oneother person and that there was one survivor. Very little was said afterthat and we hung up.

My next move was to go immediately to the Police Station where I requested a private interview room. I made them take my report addingone more thing, that I believed Walt Curry was murdered by scientology. I heard from some agent in Toronto who tried to have me withdraw my whole report. I REFUSED. And on September 25, 1975 I received a letterfrom Provincial Constable L.E. Carter informing me that there was to bean inquest on October 24, 1975 and that I was welcome to attend. On September 30, 1975 I received a summons to appear at the inquest. My husband went with me and when we arrived I was told that my testimony would not be necessary. I demanded that I be heard and was granted that right, but only after the inquest concluded, which meant that the jurors had heard the information presented from the perspective of making safety recommendations to the manufacturers of camping gear. By thetime I was allowed to testify I couldn’t make them listen, I couldn’t make them understand the discrepancies that had been present in thetestimony all through the inquest. I was very disturbed as they appeared to have been given a direction to follow which did not address the issue of possible murder. This is very painful to me as I feel responsible for Walt Curry’s death.

On April 18, 1974 the injunction, which would have denied me the right to speak about Scientology on radio and television in the Breach of Contract Suit, was heard and denied. On April 29, 1974, this decision wasappealed by The Church of Scientology and said injunction was granteduntil the Breach of Contract case was tried in court. Said case was neverheard and the injunction remained in place until all lawsuits were disbursed in 1987. The law was used to harass me, and silence me, as TheChurch of Scientology always had some excuse for not continuing. This constituted yet another B1 action.

Sometime in the mid 1980's John & I had to go to Tampa for a summary trial. After takeoff and while still climbing, the plane suddenly turnedaround and the captain announced that we were returning to Toronto on a technicality. We spoke with the head steward asking whether the captainhad received a bomb threat. We further indicated that we believed we knew why as we were on our way to a Scientology trial in Tampa Fla. and if we didn’t arrive there would be no trial.

As soon as we landed, away from all buildings, busses arrived to pick up the passengers to deliver them back to the terminal. We were escorted directly to the intelligence room and questioned. I asked to be able tophone Detective Al Ciampini and when I finally reached him I told himwhat was happening to us and asked for his assistance as we were being interrogated rather heavily. It was rather frightening for the passengers, and a very costly procedure for the air line. When we finally did arrive inTampa very late that afternoon the scientologists were there taking pictures as we deplaned.

Later on after returning home Al told me that the call was made from thepublic phone booth right beside the Church of Scientology. As there wasno direct evidence, no charges could be laid.

Coincidence ??? I don’t think so. B1 again.

On January 15, 1986 a Sears employee phoned me to tell me that the parcel I had ordered had arrived. I asked what was in it and was told there were five knives. As I had not placed the order and it was charged to MY Sears Account I contacted Inspector McCauseland of 39 Division who checked into the matter indicating that the order couldn’t be traced. Thenon June 3, 1986 PC D. Hunt attended my home and took a statement in regards to the knives from Sears and the fraudulent use of my account. We then went to the Sears store in Sutton where PC Hunt noted the parcel labels and witnessed me opening all five boxes, each with a knife in it. See report.

Still another B1 action, this time in the form of a symbolic death threat.

A number of defamatory untrue documents originating from The Church of Scientology sources about the McLeans have been circulated as well as ‘Dead Agenting’ materials. (a process of telling stories to negate information)

The McLean family variously and individually have been sued 17 times by the Church of Scientology, which has the reputation of being one of the ‘most litigious organizations in the world’.

In Tampa, in 1987, The Church of Scientology induced ALL it’s critics who had Florida based lawsuits and their solicitors to come to Tampa for settlement talks. This meant a horrendous day in court. Each of the parties and their lawyers were in a totally protected separate part of the courtroom. The Judge was at her station available to the lawyers for clarification and any necessary rulings. Finally everyone had reached their acceptance level EXCEPT me (even my son John was ready to settle). I wanted my day in court with all records available to the public. There quirement for this settlement was that all plaintiffs had to settle right now this very day or there was no settlement. The judge realizing that I was the only hold out indicated that she wanted to see The McLeans in her chambers together with Mr. Logan. No sooner were we walking into the room than she started in on me. Her demeanor was harsh, unfriendly, forceful and intimidating. She demanded to know why I wouldn’t settle. I explained that I wanted justice to prevail and the public at large to have a reference point to work from. I felt our case needed to be heard in court.The judge was exasperated with me and my hold back. She wanted this settlement and she didn’t care about what I wanted. This was a huge winfor her. Finally she forcefully stated that I’d better settle “right now or else! I can’t guarantee a court date this year. I can’t guarantee a court date next year and I can’t guarantee a court date the following year or the year after that. So you’d better settle right now!”

I was in tears by this time. Mr. Logan tried to console me by saying

“they haven’t taken your right to council away, and you can reconstruct your document collection.” (Especially the FBI documents I had worked so hard and so long to collect at my own personal expense.)

Throughout the years, I have been contacted by a steady stream of operatives, whose intentions were to harm me and my family. The following people represent a few of them and they had varying degrees of success at their endeavors:

Gary McKague of Ottawa. Gary has used references of alleged collaboration with Eric McLean to author a book, in order to obtain information from government offices most specifically Mental Health Organizations and Mr. George Rhon.

Jonathan James, which is an alias for Chris Palmer was sent to gather upper level materials from me.

Vera Slevin tried to gain admittance as an old friend for the purpose of coming to my home on the pretext that she wanted to interview me for the‘book’ she was writing, and for the purpose of getting Upper Level Materials.

Bill Hess who is also known as Mike Shannon from Portland also wanted Upper Level Materials. Dick Bast a private investigator hired by The Church of Scientology togather information from Paulette Cooper, however since I was there at thetime, we were thrown together.

Fred Cain who was an employee of Dick Bast was hired to get information FOR The Church of Scientology.

Merril Vannier is a lawyer and a GO operative who stole all my defencedocuments from my then lawyer Mr. Robert K. Hayden’s office. To name a few.

SOME OF MY ACTIVITIES.

I started my role as an ‘exit counselor’ (aiding people to leave scientology) sometime in the late 1970’s. This allowed me to keep my information about scientology current and up to date. This is an activity I still perform to this day.

Robert (Bob) Griffith & I worked together to produce a brief for the College of Physicians & Surgeons. The awareness of a need to create this brief came to me during my counseling of Bob, who suffered a life threatening kidney condition as a result of going through the Purification Program, written by Hubbard. We worked together on the brief for many months and I have the full presentation and evidence volumes we used tomake our case. Unfortunately they are too large to include in an e-mail. Our brief included a request for a review of the quasi-medical practices being recommended to patients by scientologist physicians. Within 24 hours we were rejected. WHY?????

While counseling a young lady in Toronto I discovered that she was suffering as a result of having just finished the Purification Program. I suggested that she see a non/scientology physician. Her response wasthat she had a relative who was a doctor whom she would attend. I was later introduced to her physician, Dr. David Hogg and I provided him with the Purification Program written by L. Ron Hubbard. Doctor Hogg agreed to critique it for me. I am typing this document into my submission for the Inquiry as an illustration of the potential for physical harm present in this program. I believe that even to-day all Narconon people are required to undergo this program.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PURIFICATION PROGRAM.

This Analysis will only cover some of the statements Hubbard puts forward concerning certain aspects of biochemistry and medicine. Many ofhis other statements I consider fallacious or even mendacious, but theywill not be subjected to critiscism here.

1. L.S.D.

Hubbard makes many statements concerning this drug, all of which serve to illustrate his overwhelming ignorance of biochemistrF.

    “As it has been stated that it only takes one millionth of an ounce of L.S.D. to produce a drugged condition and because it is basically wheat rust which simply cuts off circulation, my original thinking onthis over the years was that L.S.D. sticks around in the body. That basically is the idea underlying the original Sweat Program. There medy given was to sweat it out. From the most recent research developments, it now appears that not only L.S.D. but other chemical poisons and toxins, preservatives, pesticides, etc., as wellas medical drugs and the long list of heavy street drugs ... can lodge in the tissues and remain in the body for years.”

Firstly, L.S.D. is a chemical. It is thought to act by a direct effect on brian cells, perhaps by blocking the action of a neurotransmitter (a chemical messenger in the brain) known as serotonin. This blockade may effect thebrain adversely, causing the various hallucinogenic effects of the drug. Hubbard claims that L.S.D. “Cuts off circulation”. In fact, it does nothing of the sort; neither the output of blood from the heart nor its passage through any of the blood vessels in the body is affected. L.S.D. affects only the brain, not the circulation.

Wheat rust is a virus which causes an infection of wheat. It has absolutely nothing in common with L.S.D. either chemically or biologically. How Hubbard ever made the connection between the two is very puzzling; the fact that the two are linked together is evidence of his poor understandingof the subject.

There is no evidence at all that L.S.D. or any of the other street drugs Hubbard mentions “lodge in the tissues for years” Indeed, these drugs, being water soluable, are excreted quickly. This is due to the fact that thebody is mainly water. The drugs dissolve in the water and then are rapidly excreted from the body in the urine. (In view of this, Hubbards claim that“trips during the program” (p.15) should be treated with “extra vitamin B Complex and vitamin C” is seen to be false; you can’t treat what isn’t there.)

2. Fat’s and Oil’s

The only substance which Hubbard lists correctly as being stored in the tissues are pesticides. However, Hubbard has no idea how this occurs. Hestates:

“There is no such thing as a fat cell” (p.8)

This is incorrect. Hubbard might have merely consulted a basic medical text to realize this. The human body, like any complex living organism, is composed of cells. In the body, these cells are specialized for various functions; nerve cells, which relay messages to and from the brain; redblood cells, which carry oxygen to the body; and so on. The body stores fatto specialized fat cells. Hubbard, although claiming a good deal of knowledge of biology, does not even appreciate this very basic concept.

Hubbard then claims that to “clean up” fat tissue in the body, it is necessary to replace the fat broken down by exercise with an external source of oil. He is wrong on several counts.

Firstly, the body contains none of the street drugs stored in body tissues as Hubbard claims. The only exception to this is the active ingredient of marijuana; it may be stored in fat cells for as long as one to two months before it is finally excreted. It is not, as Hubbard claims, stored for years. L.S.D. crystals do not exist at all in the body. Thus the “drug residues ”which Hubbard bases most of his program on, simply do not exist.

Secondly, in order to rid the body of these drugs and toxins, Hubbard proposes to break down body fat. In the short term, this would actually increase the toxicity of such substances as pesticides because they would be released into the bloodstream as fat is broken down. The only recorded instance of this occurring is in several species of birds exposed to DDT during the summer. In the winter, as the birds used up their body fat due to the lack of food, many died due to DDT poisoning. Fortunately, the levels of such substances are not high enough in the human population to cause such an effect; nonethe_less, Hubbard’s method of “cleansing” is certainly not medically sound.

Finally, Hubbard states that oil should be consumed to provide more fat to replace that which is broken down. In fact, oil is not necessary to make fat; the body may synthesise fat perfectly naturally from carbohydrates instead, as is evidenced by the number of obese candy lovers.

3. Vitamin Deficiencies

Hubbard’s complete lack of medical knowledge is best demonstrated here.

Some introductory comments first. Hubbard states that alcohol “burnsup” vitamin B1 and thus leads to the Dts. This is incorrect. Alcohol itself causes, in sufficient dose and following withdrawl, a clinical syndrome known as delerime tremens or the Dts. This syndrome is due to a suddenlack of alcohol in an addict of this drug; it is best characterized as a severe alcohol withdrawal reaction.

Many alcoholics eat poorly and thus become deficient in thiamine or vitamin B1. They do not burn up this vitamin, they simpoly run out of it. They develop a neurologic syndrome known as Wernicke-Korsakoff disease which will not be discussed here but which is much different from the Dts.

Following this, Hubbard claims that L.S.D. and other street drugs burn up several vitamins. There is no evidence that this occurs. No vitamine deficiencies are due to a toxic effect of street drugs; what actually occurs is that many addicts eat very poorly and thus fail to consume the proper amount of vitamins. Deficiencies of these vitamins then develop, not due to the drugs themselves, but rather to the social situations which they create. The solution obviously lies in a discontinuation of the drug taking behaviour and resumption of a proper diet.

4. Niacin

Hubbard devotes special attention to this vitamin and makes many statements concerning it, almost all of which are incorrect.

He first claims it “releases L.S.D. crystals into the system”. As discussed earlier, there are no L.S.D. crystals stored at all in the body anyway so this statement concerning this effect of niacin is incorrect.

Next, he states that, “Niacin’s hiochemical reaction is my own private personal discovery”. In fact, niacin was discovered about the turn of the century and its lack, which leads to a syndrome known as pellegra, was elucidated in the early 1900's. Niacin’s action, as an important constituent in many of the body’s chemical reactions, has been studied since that timeby several notable biochemists; Hubbard is not among them. He has made no contribution to the field, has published no work pertaining to the substance and his claim that niacin is a “private personal discovery” is a total lie.

When given as a medication, Niacin may cause a direct effect on blood vessels of the skin causing them to dilate. This will be seen clinically as an itching, flushing sensation which passes quickly. Hubbard claims however that it is really “running out” sunburn or radiation. This is simply ridiculous; radiation, be it sunlight or otherwise, is not stored in the body as a chemical substance is, but is simply converted to some other sort of energy such as heat, or causes some tissue damage (i.e. sunburn). (Try catching a glass of sunlight !) It cannot therefore be “run out”.

Niacin in the body is converted to a substance known as nicotinamide (trade name Niacinamide). Hubbard claims that this compound is worthless. He is incorrect again; in fact, nicotinamide given as a drug simply obviates the body’s need to convert niacin to nicotinamide, and avoids the side effects of niacin.

It is of historical not that no one received the Nobel prize in 1971 for “curing insanity with niacin”, as Hubbard claims.

5. Medical Risks of the Program

Hubbard attempts to cover himself as concerns the risks of the program by stating that:

    “This program can be strenuous and should not be undertaken by anyone who has a weak heart or who is anemic.”

His methods of clinical investigation, however, are highly questionable both medically and legally. He states that the “Medical Officer” who is“trained” may test applicants to the program for these problems. Many years of training are required to detect heart disease in some individuals. The medical officers in the various orgs have no such training; Hubbard, by implying that they do is perpetrating a medical fraud which may be highly dangerout to some people engaging in this program. For example, a patient with unsuspected coronary artery disease who is subjected to the stresses demanded of him in this combination of exercise and sauna stands asignificant chance of suffering a heart attack.

It should be further noted that Hubbard gives as second choice a qualified medical doctor to check the applicant before embarking on the program; an M.D. is to be consulted only in the absence of a “medical officer”.

Hubbard also states that the dose of niacin, which is given initially at 100 mg a day, should be steadily increased. He then states:

    “The other vitamins would have to be increased proportionately to Niacin at the same time the Niacin is increased..”

This may be dangerous to the person concerned. Probably nost of the vitamins Hubbard recommends are harmless, even if they do none of the things he claims they do. However, vitamins A and D, if taken in large doses, may be quite harmful.

High levels of vitamin D may lead to a sudden increase in blood calcium. This will lead to symptons of decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting, memory loss, decreased level of conciousness progressing to coma, and in infants, mental retardation. Kidney damage may also occur which is often not reversible on discontinuing the vitamin. Bone disease, with weakening and fractures, also occurs concomitantly.

Large amounts of Vitamin A may lead to severe toxicity including a rise inthe pressure of the fluid surrounding the brain, leading to headaches, visual disturbances and seizures. Even more worrisome is the fact that inanimals, vitamin A leads to malformed offspring when fed to the pregnant mother.

Finally, Hubbard seems to feel that any drugs are dangerous, as he lumps them with street drugs and other poisons in his introductory section. Many people depend on certain drugs to maintain the function of their heart or other vital organs. In the case of those people, as instruction ofeven suggestion to cease taking their medications could be fatal.

In summary, Hubbard is a very ignorant man. He consistently demonstrates a complete and at times dangerous lack of knowledge concerning biochemistry, physics and medicine. His theories are based on fallacies and lies; there is no scientific data to support any of them.

Furthermore, his program not only fails to deliver what it promises but may actually be detrimental to the health of those taking it.

As such, it cannot be recommended that anyone take this program.

 

PART III

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?

The biggest hurdle we have to jump in my humble opinion is:

Scientology as a Religion.

Scientology hides behind this cloak and legislators, judges & jurors, police persons & governmental officials are all afraid to take action against a so called religion. The committee formed to decide whether or not the organization before them is worthy of Charitable Status has to make this decision based upon an established set of valid criteria. What failsafe guides can be used to sift through the potential maze of lies which may be brought before them. It is important to consider legislation limiting the automatic bestowing of tax free status, but we also need to provide those making the decisions with the tools that will enable them to make fair judgments.

If a religion has a hidden arm that is guilty of committing crimes and hurts decent law abiding citizens shouldn’t it be charged and punished regardless of its religious status?

If a religion has a hidden arm that is guilty of committing crimes and hurts decent law abiding citizens should it have religious status?

Scientology’s Method of Controlling the Ruling Body:

One of Hubbard’s policies is called The Department of Government Affairswhich states in part

“always find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause them to sue for peace” See document.

Below is an incident I would like to share with you which is an example of standard human behaviour, depicting what can happen when pressure isbrought to bear.

While in Calgary visiting friends who had just left Scientology I went together with Mr. John Hooker to Edmonton to speak with the then Minister of Consumer Affairs for the Province of Alberta. However we were escorted into the office of the newly appointed Deputy Minister Mr. John Layton’s office instead. The purpose of our visit was to present information to the Ministry and to see if we could label Scientology as a fraudulent organization. We talked for awhile and Mr. Layton turned to me and asked me whether I knew anyone who “doesn’t have something to hide”. I was stunned for a moment as I wasn’t expecting such a question from the Minister. I demurely replied “I haven’t”, and Mr. Layton rising up with his hands on his massive mahogany desk in a forceful angry tone responded,

“well I have”.

In the name of justice some officials might need to remove themselves from participating in key questions of government. Either we have the strength to go beyond our own personal fears or we haven’t, and if we haven’t, we must have the strength to recuse ourselves.
