Mike Bloomberg a démonté les arguments de l'acteur sectaire Tom Cruise venu chercher du pèze pour faire fonctionner sa clinique de détoxication bidon, qu'un type du Conseil municipal soutenu officiellement. Il est question désormais de scinder les "soutiens" donnés par des officiels en deux groupes: ceux qu'un type a lancés pour son compte, et ceux qui sont avalisés par le Conseil. |

Mr. Cruise's belief that antidepressants are evil MIKE THUMPS TOMBLASTS CITY HONOR FOR SCIENTOLOGY'S SEPT. 11 'DETOX'By DAVID SEIFMAN City Hall Bureau Chiefnypost.com/ April 19, 2007 April 19, 2007 -- Mayor Bloomberg yesterday blasted official proclamations drafted by a city councilman honoring Tom Cruise and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard for their roles in promoting a detoxification program for 9/11 rescue workers. "I don't think it's appropriate to do that," said the mayor, reacting to a report in yesterday's Post. "I think that reputable scientists do not think Scientology has any basis in science. It may be a cult, it may be a religion, it may be beliefs. It's other things, but it's not science, and we should only fund those programs that reputable scientists believe will stand the light of day and the scientific method." Councilman Hiram Monserrate (D-Queens) said he's honoring the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project - co-founded by Cruise and based on the theories of Hubbard - for providing free services that have improved the health of ailing rescue workers. "This has zero to do with Scientology," Monserrate declared. "If it was a guy who happened to be a Scientologist who helped 9/11 workers, so be it. He could have been a Buddhist, he could have been an atheist, as far as I'm concerned." More than 780 rescue workers have undertaken the treatments, which include heavy does of vitamins and hours spent in a sauna sweating off toxins. Cruise is headlining a $6,250-a-ticket fund-raiser for the program tonight in Manhattan. Councilman Peter Vallone (D-Queens), chairman of the Public Safety Committee, questioned whether Monserrate was crossing the line between "cult and state." Hundreds of council proclamations are churned out each year. In a brief interview, Council Speaker Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan) said she felt the detox program was not backed up by "any legitimate upstanding scientist" and had no merit. She said she would ask her members today to examine splitting proclamations into two categories, those signed by the speaker reflecting the view of the entire council and those issued by a single member reflecting just his or her view. Lawyer and political activist Howard Teich said he's convinced there's merit to the program based on a visit to its downtown clinic. "The fact is, they've come up with a good program," said Teich. But Rick Ross, who has been following the Scientology movement for 25 years, told The Post there's no objective research proving it's beneficial. "I have received complaints from the families of New York City firemen and concerned friends that they were told to stop taking antidepressants, stop using inhalers," said Ross. "This is consistent with Mr. Cruise's belief that antidepressants are evil." |

Tom Cruise comes to New York on Thursday night, hoping to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Scientology. He’s doing it under the guise of a detox program for members of the New York Fire Department who participated in the 9/11 clean-up. There’s only problem: No one from the hierarchy of the FDNY endorses this program. The people I’ve talked to are furious with Cruise, and want the rank and file of firemen in New York to stay away from it. Indeed, what I’m hearing are stories of firemen who accepted free treatment, only to be swallowed into Scientology. And while tonight’s event is billed as a “fundraiser,” I’m also told that firemen and their families aren’t paying for their own tickets. “The idea is just to get them in,” says a source. The detox program is nothing new, either, say critics of Scientology. It’s just the group’s program called Purification Rundown. The course has been around a long time and has no scientific or medicinal value that can be proven by any physicians other than Scientologists. Meantime, all eyes will be on New York City Councilman Hiram Monserrate of Queens, who has suddenly become Scientology’s new cheerleader. Monserrate drafted an official proclamation to have Thursday recognized by the city council as L. Ron Hubbard Day in honor of the late science-fiction writer who invented Scientology. |

Critics: Scientologists' Va. trip a time to prey www.nydailynews.com - April 18th 2007 The Church of Scientology has dispatched "ministers" to provide "grief counseling" for shell-shocked youth at Virginia Tech - but critics suspect the sect hopes to convert the vulnerable students. "It's shameless, how they milk human tragedy to promote their organization," charges Rick Ross, whose CultNews.net has long tracked the group, which counts Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley among its members. "These young people [at VT] are experiencing trauma. What they need are qualified mental health professionals." HollywoodInterrupted.com's Mark Ebner brands the Scientologists as "vultures" who are "hindering legitimate, heroic rescue efforts with their spurious 'therapies,'" such as a "touch assist" - a light massage, which, Ebner says, is "supposed to distract them from their tragedy. It's a form of mini-hypnosis." "They did this at Ground Zero [after 9/11]," says Ross. "They did this in New Orleans [after Hurricane Katrina]. They look for very high-profile disaster that can be milked for photo ops" to promote the Church. Church official Sylvia Stannard tells us that about 20 "ministers" are in Blacksburg, Va. "We're doing a lot of emotional counseling, which is kind of our speciality," says Stannard. "We prohibit our people from proselytizing," but she adds, "they are going to tell them they are Scientologists" and "they will answer questions." The church, which preaches against all psychiatric pharmaceuticals, has already seized upon early reports that Cho Seung-Hui, the gunman accused of Monday's bloodbath, may have been taking antidepressents. Stannard says the killings demonstrate "these mind-altering drugs" make "you numb to other people's suffering. You really have to be drugged up to coldly kill people like that." Even before Cho's name was released, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, a group founded by the church, said in a press release that "media and law enforcement must move quickly to investigate the Virginia shooter's psychiatric drug history - a common factor amongst school shooters." Ebner argues that the commission "claimed psychiatric drugs caused the Columbine High School shooting. But it came out later that the shooters went wild because they were off their meds." |
The Post Chronicle
By Jim Brogan - Apr 23, 2007 In their usual misguided, fascist-like effort to rid the world of all
mental health practitioners, the cult-like Church of Cruise is now
reportedly utilizing the Virginia Tech shooting tragedy as a soap-box
for their latest, ill-advised recruitment attempt, reports Hollywood
Interrupted. Scientology has made no attempt to publicly capitalize on a national tragedy since they were criticized for descending like vultures during the post-9/11 aftermath. The religious movement which is often classified as a cult, hindered legitimate and heroic rescue efforts with their ridiculous unfounded "therapies" at Ground Zero. Scientology had claimed they were from the fictitious National Mental Health Assistance group, and falsely aligned themselves with the Red Cross in the media. Previously, Scientology (see press release excerpt below) actually makes a claim to have solved the Columbine massacre. The following is an excerpt from a press release currently being
disseminated to media outlets by Scientology front group, the Citizens
Commission on Human Rights [CCHR] : 'Another School Shooter, Another Psychiatric Drug? 28 Dead and 62 Wounded
in Recent Drug-Induced School Shootings Today's shooting rampage at Virginia Tech is being called the deadliest
school shooting incident in U.S. history, with initial reports citing 32
dead and 29 wounded in the bloodiest school massacre since Columbine.
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a mental health watchdog
that initially discovered the psychiatric drug connection in the
Columbine shootings, says media and law enforcement must move quickly to
investigate the Virginia shooter's psychiatric drug history -- a common
factor amongst school shooters... For more information, contact [FLAME] the Citizens Commission on Human Rights at 800-869-2247 or email humanrig...@cchr.org' According to Radar Online, VT senior Christie Weaver, a psychology major, confirmed their presence on Thursday, and was kind enough to send Radar some photographic proof. "Yeah, those f**kers are here," she tells Radar, noting that she "has not seen anyone speak to them because they wear these bright yellow shirts that say 'Scientology Volunteer Minister.' They stick out like sore thumbs, especially given that they look very L.A.'d out and we're in the mountains of Virginia." Weaver told Radar Online Friday, "Yesterday they just walked around campus without being obtrusive, but today they set up a bright yellow tent about 100 yards from the memorial." The tent, identical to the ones Tom Cruise routinely pitches on movie sets, is positioned near another tent where victims' memorial boards are being displayed, so when aggrieved students come to pay their last respects, they get greeted by the group. "It's sick," says Weaver. "They can leave and take the media with them." © Copyright 2004-2007 by Post Chronicle Corp. |
The Casualty Contact essays on scientology source: http://www.spaink.net/cos/essays/owen_ambulance3.html L. Ron Hubbard was a brilliant salesman. That fact is undeniable: the bizarreness, paranoia and scientific improbability of Scientology has not deterred a total of probably tens of millions of people worldwide from taking its courses and buying Hubbard's books over the last 40 years. In fact, if the Church of Scientology did not have such a poor public image as a result of its abuses, it would probably be far more successful than it is presently.As I have outlined in the first two articles of this series, some of the methods of recruitment used by the Church have been distinctly dubious. Few can have been more reprehensible than that which Hubbard referred to as "the Casualty Contact". The very fact that it was - and may still be - used in the first place gives a revealing insight into the sort of morality and conduct which Hubbard brought into the Church. Hubbard always claimed that he had found techniques to cure a great number of illnesses. Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health has been promoted since he wrote it in 1950 as curing A recent (1995) leaflet distributed by the CoS claims that Dianetics cures "70 percent of Man's illnesses". The CoS has also claimed that Scientology does not directly cure illnesses, but instead takes the rather coy line that auditing is, in effect, a catalyst to the individual curing himself. "What Is Scientology?" (1978 edition), for instance, says: "Scientology is not in the business of curing things. Auditing is
not done to cure the body or to cure anything physical and the E-Meter cures
nothing. However, in the process of a person becoming happier, more able and
more aware as a spiritual being through auditing, illnesses that are
psychosomatic (meaning the mind making the body ill) [and still comprising 70
percent of illnesses, according to Hubbard] in origin often
disappear." "... It is within our power to proof Australia against mental and
physical illness ... You can advertise all you want to 'eradicates disease
proneness', to 'proof Australians against illness' since all law applies to
healing sicknesses, and could never be extended to preventing prevention ...
[Adverts should say] 'Prevent illness. Scientologists are seldom sick. Join a
Scientology group and be able.' " The only reason why it does not nowadays make overt, in-your-face claims of healing prowess is, as Hubbard himself stated, purely legal. He himself certainly believed in it; during the heyday of his private navy in the late 1960s, he often chose auditing rather than proper medical treatment. (It caused Hubbard a lot of unnecessary suffering, though many would no doubt say that that was no bad thing.) In HCO Bulleting of 1st September 1962, he wrote: "By healing you can graduate a pc [preclear] up to clearing interest and thus we have a lower level feeder line, capable of successful accomplishment with normal HCA/HPA training. That programme has the following thought major: Maybe you're not sick. Maybe you're just suppressed. See us and find out. Note the reference to a "change of tack on our part". This is what the Americans call a "bait-and-switch" tactic; the person on the receiving end buys one thing and finds himself buying into something entirely different, which he may not want in the first place. It's rather like buying an encyclopedia from a salesman and finding yourself with a bill for a summer apartment in Majorca. Needless to say, such methods are regarded by most people as being little better than simple fraud and deception. As the above shows, Scientology directs its recruitment towards, amongst other groups, sick people and those suffering from difficult or incurable conditions. In recent years, for example, the CoS has been attempting to recruit people suffering from the incurable condition myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) with the promise that auditing can remove the engrams responsible for such conditions. Hubbard had many years earlier applied his usual attention to detail and wrote specific instructions on how to go about recruiting the sick. The technique he devised, which he recommended as "requiring little capital and being highly ambulatory", was called "Casualty Contact". He detailed "Casualty Contact" in a number of bulletins in the 1950s and 1960s, most notably in Professional Auditors Bulletin of 28th Feb, 1956 and HCO Bulletin of 15th Sep, 1959. Even by Hubbard's standards these were quite remarkable in the level of opportunistic cynicism which they showed. In the PAB of 28th Feb, 1956, he comments: "Every day in the daily papers one discovers people who have been victimised one way or the other by life. It does not much matter that the newspapers have a full parade of oddities in terms of accident, illness and bereavement occuring at a constant parade before the eyes. The essence of "Casualty Contact" is good filing and good personal appearance. One takes every daily paper he can get his hands on and cuts from it every story whereby he might have a preclear. He either has the address in the story itself or he gets the address as a minister from the newspaper. As speedily as possible he makes a personal call on the bereaved or injured person. It is probable that he will find on the first day that they are overly burdened with calls, since they have been a subject of the public press and he may find that in two or three days, interest in the person has cooled off to a point where his own appearance will admit of an actual interview. He should represent himself to the person or the person's family as a minister whose compassion [sic] was compelled by the newspaper story concerning the person. He should then enter the presence of the person and give a nominal assist, leave his card which states exactly where church services are held every Sunday and with the statement that a much fuller recovery is possible by coming to these free services takes his departure. A great many miracles will follow in his wake and he is liable to become a subject of the press himself. However, in handling the press he should simply say that it is a mission of the church to assist those who are in need of assistance. He should avoid any lengthy discussions of Scientology and should talk about the work of ministers and how all too few ministers these days get around to places where they are needed. For sheer, concentrated cynicism, it is hard to beat that. (It is part of a bulletin on methods of dissemination.) But, even so, Hubbard manages it. On 15th Sep, 1959, he issued an HCO Bulletin which was even more breathtakingly cynical: "A fruitful source of HAS [Hubbard Association of Scientologists] Co-Audit is casualty contact. This is very old, is almost never tried and is almost always roaringly successful, providing the auditor goes about it in roughly the right way. Using his Ministers [sic] card, an auditor need only barge into any nonsectarian hospital, get permission to visit the wards from the Superintendant, mentioning nothing about processing, but only about taking care of peoples [sic] souls, to find himself wonderfully welcome. Ministers almost never make such rounds. Some hospitals are strictly against this sort of thing, but its [sic] only necessary to find another. Its [sic] fabulous what one can get done in a hospital with a touch assist and locational processing. Comment would be superfluous. I think Hubbard's words say all that need to be said. One final thought. Hubbard's ideas, as outlined in the documents quoted above, are more reminiscent of a con artist or a heartless exploiter of the vulnerable than the leader and moral authority of a "church". But perhaps this isn't so surprising. In the HCO Policy Letter of 15th Aug, 1967, he made the following statement - perhaps the purest exposition of Hubbardism ever written: "I am not interested in wog morality. I am only interested in
getting this show on the road and keeping it there." |
