Scientology Security Guard Kills Ex-Scientology Member

Ex-Scientologist Member, Mario Majorski, killed by Scientology guard

The Scientology Celebrity Centre where the deadly shooting occurred

A security guard has shot and killed an ex-Scientology member named Mario Majorski on the grounds of a Hollywood building owned by the Scientology church, Los Angeles police say.

Reports say Mario Majorski arrived at the Scientology Celebrity Centre wielding swords.

Police are questioning the security guard to determine whether the shooting was justified.

The building, in the style of a French castle, serves as a meeting place for artists and performers.

The Church of Scientology was established in 1945 by science-fiction writer L Ron Hubbard.

It claims 10 million members worldwide, including celebrity devotees Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

Scientology lies about it's association with Mario Majorski
Spokesperson Tommy Davis says Mario Majorski left The "Church" of Scientology 15 years ago. Scientology records indicate that Mario was still doing services as recently as June 2004. Other resources show that is was even more recent than that.

Scientology, Tom Cruise and Anonymous

This is a great video about Tom Cruise, Scientology and an Anonymous explanation of this evil cult. The sound is a little off, but this video is excellent about showing the true facts behind Scientology. These are the same facts Scientology lawyers try and hide.

Girl commits suicide after doing bad on Scientology given personality test

I remember when I went to a local Scientology Org as a joke a few years back, I had in advance filled out a personality test which had all the right answers. I got the correct answers to the test off the Internet somewhere. I made sure to miss at least one or two questions on purpose. Well, when I was at the 'Church' going over my test, with my one or two questions out of a hundred wrong, they were extremely critical of me and my personality test. Why were they so critical.... it's all a ploy to sell shit. That's the reason. Hey buddy, you are really messed up, (no matter how well you scored) buy a bunch of shit.

'Church' of Scientology = MLM business.

NICE, France, April 16 (UPI) -- The daughter of a Norwegian politician killed herself after she received negative results on a personality test by the Church of Scientology, officials said.

Kaja Ballo, daughter of Norwegian politician Olav Ballo, took a personality test administered by a Scientology center in Nice, France, Aftenposten said Wednesday.

Family and friends described the 20-year-old in a generally good mood until Friday, March 28, when she "changed" after reading the results from the test.

She took her own life hours later.

A Scientology spokesman called the allegations "deeply unfair" and pointed to an eating disorder and other psychological issues she experienced in her early teens.

Critics say the break-you-down-build-you-up recruitment tool of Scientologists is controversial.

From the owner of Xenu.net who lives in Norway:

The media coverage on this in Norway has been unprecedented for any event ever related to CoS. I was on the phone or in studio all day yesterday to help explain what has happened. Had to fly to Oslo to attend several live TV debates. I seriously doubt there is one person left in Norway who has not learned about this tragedy by now.

I can't list them all, but some of the press coverage and a few pictures are linked here:

http://www.xenu.net/news/

You can see a picture series of the head of CoS in Norway, Matthias Fosse and me here (taken at TV studio between debates yesterday):

http://sesam.no/search/?q=matthias+fosse&x=0&y=0&c=pp
http://sesam.no/search/?c=pp&q=heldal-lund

This is very high profile and the media is working overtime to cover this! The direct connection to the Church of Scientology is unusually clear and her father is a very high profiled and influential
politician in Norway. He has been in the Norwegian Parliament since 1997, he studied medicine at University of Würzburg, and has been a doctor. He is a member of the Standing Committee on Justice (!) and the Vice President of the Odelsting (the "lower house" in the Parliament). The Norwegian Minister of Finance and many others attended Kaja's funeral. At the service the priest made a clear and special effort to link her death to the Church of Scientology.

The family has asked that this tragic story is debated publicly and friends of Kaja have been told they should become critics of the Church of Scientology. This is not going away. The close family has said they trust the French police and are awaiting the result of their investigation.

I hope the May 10 picket in Oslo will be an event respectful of her memory and something Norwegians will remember a long time.

I'll try to keep you updated.

Take care.

Best wishes,

Andreas Heldal-Lund

Scientology accuses "Anonymous" protesters of threats

UPDATE A judge rejected a petition by the Church of Scientology that sought to keep protesters away from church property in Clearwater, but the church has filed an almost identical lawsuit that seeks a temporary restraining order against the same group of protesters. No decision has been made in the new case.

****

CLEARWATER - The Church of Scientology says it has received "numerous threats of violence'' from members of the Internet activist group Anonymous, according to a church lawsuit filed Tuesday that seeks to restrain protesters this weekend.

The church is asking the Pinellas Circuit Court to bar Anonymous protesters from coming within 500 feet of Scientology buildings in downtown Clearwater during Anonymous' Saturday demonstration, which would be the group's second anti-Scientology rally in recent weeks.

No hearing had been scheduled by late this morning.

Called a "petition for injunction for protection against repeat violence,'' the church's suit names 22 people, most from the Tampa Bay area, who the Church of Scientology believes to be members of Anonymous, which describes itself as a loosely organized group united against the injustices perpetrated by Scientology.

"The threats have included a 'formal declaration of war' and specific threats to assassinate or execute Rev. Heber Jentzsch, the president of the Church of Scientology International on or about March 13, 2008,'' the lawsuit states.

The suit says Scientology churches around the world have been vandalized and have received numerous threats of violence.

"Various members of the group (Anonymous) have encouraged the use of attacks, raids, bombs, hand grenades, machine guns and executions of Church leaders,'' the suit states.

Much of the violence has been encouraged and promoted, the lawsuit states, through videos on YouTube. Numerous Internet postings and videos are included as exhibits in the church's suit.

While the complete membership of Anonymous is unknown, the 22 named in the lawsuit "have been identified, on information and belief, as leaders and/or supporters of the organization's efforts against the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization in Clearwater within the last 30 days,'' the church states in its suit.

Anonymous coalesced in January after a video of Scientologist Tom Cruise was leaked to YouTube and then promptly removed because of threats from Scientology attorneys.

On Feb. 10, some 200 people participated in an Anonymous-organized demonstration against Scientology in downtown Clearwater. Similar protests were held in dozens of cities around the world.

A second round of protests by Anonymous are scheduled for this weekend, timed to coincide with Scientology’s annual celebration of founder L. Ron Hubbard's birthday on Thursday.

According to Web sites affiliated with Anonymous, members of the group plan to protest in more than 50 cities worldwide. In Clearwater, they plan to gather Friday evening outside Ruth Eckerd Hall, where Scientology will hold its annual gala celebrating Hubbard’s birthday.

A larger protest is planned Saturday in downtown Clearwater, where the church’s international religious headquarters are located.

On Web sites, the group implores members to protest peacefully and not to break any laws. No one was arrested at any of the protests on Feb. 10.

The petition seeks an injunction to stop Anonymous, it local leaders and supporters, from "committing any further acts of violence.'' It also seeks to prevent members from getting within 500 feet of Jentzsch or any of 12 Scientology buildings in downtown Clearwater.

Video exposing strange Scientology censorship by News Limited

This Youtube video exposes strange censorship by News Limited on the Febuary 10th world wide protest of Scientology by Anonymous and other critics. The news report shows how News Limited censored the word "CULT" on a Scientology protesters picket sign and made another protester look stupid by erasing part of a picket sign text that said "Tom Cruise".

This is a great news report showing just how scared, or maybe paid off, these big corporations are of the "Church" of Scientology.

Anonymous~ "Did Scientologists kill critic of Scientology Shawn Lonsdale?"

Dear Church of Scientology,

We anonymous, believe that Shawn Lonsdale could have been killed by your church for proving to be a thorn in its side.

Though we do not have the evidence nor the right to accuse you, we believe that the allegation should be put under a microscope and examined on a micro level.

Shawn Lonsdale was in the middle of exposing your cult in a documentary when he was killed. They have labeled this a suicide, however, according to Randy Payne, Shawn had no reason to want to die, and was doing well. Why are there videos of your church members assaulting him in public? Why would he kill himself in such a strange manner? Why would he die so mysteriously while in the process of exposing your church? These are the questions that need to be asked. These are the issues that need to be investigated.

The church of Scientology must be stopped and the people who follow it must realize that they too are victims and escape the cult like pyramid scheme while they have the chance.

Besides the fact that your church is based on a fictional book and that L Ron Hubbard has openly stated that if he wanted to be rich he would create a religion, there continues to be actions that your church members have been taking that are alarming and must be looked into.

Anonymous has chosen to place itself at the forefront of avenging the death of Shawn Lonsdale. Simply by continuing it's protests and making the public aware of the dark and sinister cult that is slowly growing behind their backs while they sleep.

They will be awakened. People will learn what is Scientology.

Anonymous will not stop until the Church of Scientology has been expunged. They are not only made up of victimized individuals coerced by manipulation, they are controlled by bigots and greedy fascists with an agenda to profit off of the ignorance of others.

Anonymous will strike until the nine thousandth nail has been driven into the heart and soul of this evil enterprise.

Anonymous is legion. Anonymous can not be stopped because we are invisible, yet unbreakable. We represent the victims. We represent the army of the public and the voice of everyone. We are the result of your actions. We are the consequence of past mistakes, and we will not
live to see another catastrophic one take place in front of us, due to the poor decision making of your followers. your church is the whore that rides of the shoulders of evil. You are the enemy. Your followers are the victims. You will be stopped and your church will fall.

We do not forgive. we do not forget.

We are legion.

2. Get assaulted on video tape?

3. Get death threats?

4. Die in a manner that could, as reported, easily have been homicide?

5. Have that death ruled a suicide within 24 hours?

Was Shawn Lonsdale killed by the "Church" of Scientology?

Clarification to the Media from Anonymous

In the current battle of Anonymous vs Scientology, this is another video that has just been released. Enjoy!



It has come to the attention of Anonymous that there are a number of you out there who do not clearly understand what we are or why we have undertaken our present course of action. Contrary to the assumptions of the media, Anonymous is not "a group of super hackers". Anonymous is a collective of individuals united by an awareness that someone must do the right thing, that someone must bring light to the darkness, that someone must open the eyes of a public that has slumbered for far too long. Among our numbers you will find individuals from all walks of life - lawyers, parents, IT professionals, members of law enforcement, college students, veterinary technicians and more. Anonymous is everyone and everywhere. We have no leaders, no single entity directing us - only the collective outrage of individuals, guiding our hand in the current efforts to bring awareness.We want you to be aware of the very real dangers of Scientology. We want you to know about the gross human rights violations committed by this cult. We want you to know about Lisa McPhearson. We want you to know about former members of Scientology's private navy, SeaOrg, who were forced to have abortions so that they could continue in service to the church. We want you to know about Scientology's use of child labor and their gulags. We want you to know about Operation Freakout and Paulette Cooper. We want you to know about Operation Snow White and Scientology's efforts to infiltrate the government of the United States of America.We want you to know about all of these things that have been swept under the rug for far too long. The information is out there. It is yours for the taking. Arm yourself with knowledge. Be very wary of the 10th of February. Anonymous invites you to join us in an act of solidarity. Anonymous invites you to take up the banner of free speech, of human rights, of family and freedom. Join us in protest outside of Scientology centers world wide. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. We will be heard. Expect us.

Anonymous vs The 'Church' of Scientology

Anonymous vs The 'Church' of Scientology

Article includes all the updates, statements, images, and videos by "Anonymous" and the "War on Scientology".

An Internet-based group "Anonymous" has begun what it calls, a "War on Scientology". Anonymous, whose membership includes such groups from sites like Ebaums World, YTMND and *Chan, have begun a "third wave" of attacks in the week-old operation dubbed “Project Chanology”. They have been releasing statements on YouTube and via a press release, outlining their plans and intentions for Scientology. The main reasons behind Anonymous's attack on Scientology are said to be the removal of the Tom Cruise video from the Internet last week by Scientology lawyers and also Scientology's strong position against free speech.

Church of Scientology related websites, such as religousfreedomwatch.org have become unable to view due to a suspected DDoS Attack by the group. This same group allegedly brought down Scientology 's main website, scientology.org, which has been available sporadically since the beginning of the attack. Scientology's websites first began showing signs of the DOS attack by "Anonymous" sometime around the end of last week.

Several websites relating to the Church of Scientology have been slowed down, brought to a complete halt or seemingly removed from the Internet completely in an attack which seems to be continuous. The scientology.org site was back online briefly on Monday (1/21/08), but since then has been inaccessible.

The group has released a video titled: "Message to Scientology" on YouTube concerning their intentions to attack the Church of Scientology. A robotic voice on the video begins with "Hello leaders of Scientology. We are Anonymous," and continues by explaining their motivations: "Over the years we have been watching you, your campaigns of misinformation, your suppression of dissent and your litigious nature. All of these things have caught our eye. With the leakage of your latest propaganda video into mainstream circulation the extent of your malign influence over those who have come to trust you as leaders has been made clear to us. Anonymous has therefore decided that your organization should be destroyed." The message goes on to state that the group intends to "expel Scientology from the Internet". This is a view echoed on the so-called "Project Chanology" website, an open source of information and direction for those within Anonymous, which talks of tactics such as blackfaxing and prank calling alongside other "real-life" methods of attack.

"Anonymous" released a statement on Monday (1/21/08) in the form of a press release, "Internet Group Anonymous Declares "War on Scientology": "Anonymous" are fighting the Church of Scientology and the Religious Technology Center". In the statement, the group explained their goal as safeguarding the right to freedom of speech "A spokesperson said that the group's goals include bringing an end to the financial exploitation of Church members and protecting the right to free speech, a right which they claim was consistently violated by the Church of Scientology in pursuit of its opponents." The press release also claimed that the Church of Scientology misused copyright and trademark law in order to remove criticism from websites including Digg and YouTube. The statement goes on to assert that the attacks from the group "will continue until the Church of Scientology reacts, at which point they will change strategy".

The attack was reportedly motivated by the Church of Scientology's attempts to remove a promotional video featuring Scientologist Tom Cruise, which is called the Tom Cruise video, from YouTube. After the Church of Scientology lodged a copyright infringement complaint with YouTube, the site took down the video. The Tom Cruise video is still available on Gawker.com , which has stated it will not remove the video "It's newsworthy, and we will not be removing it."

Gawker.com discussed the actions of the "Anonymous" group, in a post on Monday titled "Scientology vs. the Internet: Why Kids On The Internet Are Scientology's Most Powerful Enemy". Gawker.com briefly outlined actions of other anonymous users critical of Scientology, including actions taken in the past by users of YouTube, Digg, and YTMND "This isn't the only group of Internet users unafraid of the intimidating cult; a whole range of sites has turned the Church into a mockery by doing what mainstream celebrity-coverage outlets wouldn't dare."

A poster on the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology (a.r.s.) was critical of the actions by the "Anonymous" group. In a post titled "Open Letter to Anonymous" a frequent poster to a.r.s., "cultxpt", wrote that "It's understandable that people get upset over the things the Church of Scientology has done online and off". He wrote that the Church of Scientology "tried to shut down a.r.s.," and "spam our newsgroup to this day". The spam reference made by cultxpt refers to "sporgery", a form of nonsensical spam tactic used as an attempt to disrupt discussion on the newsgroup.

In 1995, Helena Kobrin, one of the many Scientology lawyers for the Church of Scientology, attempted to remove the a.r.s. group from Usenet . Kobrin sent a rmgroup message which stated: "We have requested that the alt.religion.scientology newsgroup be removed from all sites". This later led to a declaration of war by the hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow, and an increase in popularity of the a.r.s site. This initial conflict later came to be known as "Scientology versus the Internet".

The post from cultxpt went on to criticize the actions of the "Anonymous" group, stating: "We're supposed to be the good people," and stated that contrary to the Anonymous group's tactics, "Our weapons as critics are reason, evidence, argument, and free speech".

On Tuesday (1/22/08), the founder of Operation Clambake or Xenu.net, a non-profit organization and website critical of Scientology based in Stavanger, Norway , released a statement about the attacks by "Anonymous". Andreas Heldal-Lund was critical of the "Anonymous" groups actions, stating: "The author of Operation Clambake does not condone such activity. Attacking Scientology like that will just make them play the religious persecution card. They will use it to defend their own counter actions when they try to shatter criticism and crush critics without mercy." Heldal-Lund went on to emphasize the right of all people and organizations to freedom of speech - including the Church of Scientology: "Freedom of speech means we need to allow all to speak - including those we strongly disagree with. I am of the opinion that the Church of Scientology is a criminal organization and a cult which is designed by its delusional founder to abuse people. I am still committed to fight for their right to speak their opinion."
