Jett Travolta Was Taken Off The Medication That Was Preventing His Seizures

Scientology: Jett Travolta, John Travolta's son: Another Mysterious Scientology death
The Travolta's at one time had Jett on a medication called Depakote, which is mainly used for bi-polar disease. For some reason, they stopped using the Depakote and went back to Scientology's methods of Vitamins, deadly amounts of Niacin, exercise and hot sauna's. With Jett's dangerous grand mal seizures, he needed to be on real medication.

From gawker.com
"Take the family's unchallenged assertion that he suffered from Kawasaki disease, an immunological syndrome which causes painful inflammation, after exposure to carpet-cleaning chemicals, and that he died after hitting his head after suffering a related seizure. At least one doctor disputes the notion, saying that there's no link between chemical exposure and Kawasaki disease and that it does not cause seizures.

Jett may have suffered instead from autism which went untreated, because of Travolta's adherence to the cult like religion of Scientology and the bizarre beliefs about mental illness that go with it."

From TMZ.com
"They say the Travoltas were concerned about possible physical damage. And, Jett went back to having around one seizure a week. So John Travolta and Kelly Preston, after consulting neurosurgeons, stopped administering the drug."

Who are these "neurosurgeons"? Why do I have a feeling that they are Scientologists?

Also, they say the only medication they were giving Jett at one time was Depakote. Depakote's primary use is for bi-polar disease, not seizures. A common drug given to people that prevent seizures is Phenobarbital, not Depakote.

According to this page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiepileptic, there are A LOT of other options out there for people who have seizures. It's interesting to note that "Depakote" and "Vitamins & exercise" are not on the list.

Scientology's stance on Psychiatry:
The "Church" of Scientology makes new members sign a type of contract making the member aware of the fact that using psychiatric medication of any kind is strictly forbidden. It also makes the member aware of consequences if these rules are broken. And by signing the contract it gives Scientology the right to speak on your behalf if you ever become hospitalized.

Germany moves to ban Scientology

BERLIN, Germany (AP) -- Germany's top security officials said Friday they consider the goals of the Church of Scientology to be in conflict with the principles of the nation's constitution and will seek to ban the organization.

The German government considers Scientology a commercial enterprise.

The interior ministers of the nation's 16 states plan to give the nation's domestic intelligence agency the task of preparing the necessary information to ban the organization, which has been under observation for a decade on allegations that it "threatens the peaceful democratic order" of the country.

The Church of Scientology, in a response sent to CNN, denounced the German proposal, calling it out of step with various international court rulings. Read the Church of Scientology response

The ministers, as well as federal Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, "consider Scientology to be an organization that is not compatible with the constitution," said Berlin Interior Minister Ehrhart Koerting, who presided over the officials' two-day conference.

Sabine Weber, president of the Church of Scientology in Berlin, said she views the renewed attempt to ban the organization as a reaction to increasing acceptance of Scientologists in several European countries.

"It is very, very clear that the true picture of what Scientology is about is pushing its way through," Weber said. "The interior ministers are clearly reacting to that."

The Scientologists have long battled to end the surveillance, saying it is an abuse of their right to freedom of religion. They point to several lower court rulings in favor of their right to practice in Germany as a religious organization.

The U.S. State Department regularly criticizes Germany in its annual Human Rights Report for the monitoring practice.

The interior ministers gave no specific examples for their decision, but the most recent annual report on extremism compiled by their agencies criticized the organization for disregarding human rights.

"From a number of sources, some of them not available to the public, it has been determined that (the organization) seeks to limit or rescind basic and human rights, such as the right to develop one's personality and the right to be treated equally," the report said.

Earlier this year, the German government initially refused to allow the producers of a movie starring Scientology member Tom Cruise as the most famous anti-Hitler plotter to film at the site where the hero was executed, although it did not expressly state Scientology as its reason. It later allowed the production to go ahead.

The Los Angeles-based Church of Scientology was founded in 1954 by the late science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. It first set up in Germany in 1970 and officials estimate it counts some 6,000 members in the country. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend

Scientology's Clearwater voted worst place to retire

Home to Scientology, this Tampa Bay area hamlet has the highest percentage of seniors of any U.S. city. This "graying" of Florida in general, has caused many retirees to change their mind and leave, fleeing the bland culture, extreme weather and high real estate and homeowner's insurance prices of Florida.

Author of upcoming Tom Cruise book in hiding from Scientology goons

Princess Diana biographer Andrew Morton will soon release a book that will reveal certain deep, dark secrets about Tom Cruise's sex life and religious beliefs - and Tom is not happy about it.

When high ranking Thetan Tom Cruise isn't happy, baby Xenu cries. Allegedly , because of Mortons upcoming book, Scientology muscle has stepped up harassing people.

It's a fact that Scientology employs more attorneys than any other "religion".
Morton has been so thoroughly intimidated, both by Scientologists and certain random nutty fans of Cruise's, that he's had to go into hiding like another persecuted writer, Salman Rushdie.

Morton says that The 'Church' of Scientology operates pretty much the same way radical Islamic fundamentalism operates. Morton said of his security-related exile: 'I have received threats from the Scientologists and things have become pretty heavy - to the extent that it's almost more than my lawyers can handle. ... I've sold my flat and I'm not telling anyone where I'm moving to. I intend to disappear for a while."

News reports believe that there "must be some awfully juicy stuff in that biography for Tom to get this mad. Proof that he's a homosexual maybe, and that Scientology is really just some insane cult whose purpose is to subjugate women and establish a new male-dominated order. You know, stuff we already know, but now someone's put it in a book and there are all sorts of citations so that makes it legit."

Tom, according to reports, has unleashed his Scientology goons during intense negotiations with Paramount a couple years ago, Cruise dispatched his "people" to a parking lot to confront studio head Brad Grey and pressure him into giving Tom a better deal pre-Sumner Redstone sayonara time.

Morton has good reason to go into hiding. It seems death follows Tom Cruise and Scientology. The most recent "mysterious" death of David Hans Schmidt was ruled a suicide. Hans was a publicist that Tom was mad at for stealing his wedding photos and trying to sell them. And who can forget what Scientology did to Paulette Cooper in Operation Freakout when she wrote a book that exposed Scientology.

Good luck to Andrew Morton, I hope he stays safe and I can't wait to read the book!

Boycott The 'Church' of Scientology and ALL of it's celebrities!

Boycott the Church of Scientology!

Scientology is an evil cult that is destroying many people's lives. Tom Cruise is promoting this cult to young kids and adults all around the world. Major corporate companies are affiliated with the Church of Scientology as business fronts. This makes the church appear more legitimate than it really is. This is one of the many ways that they recruit new members to the church. I say boycott all celebrities and companies involved with Scientology.

A percentage of the money made by these celebrities and corporate institutions ends up in one of the many bank accounts held by the Church of Scientology.

Why are Scientology members so dumb?

Only in Scientology can you get away with being so dumb
Scientology is dumb
Could this be from a result or combination of a steady diet consisting of L Ron Hubbard, Dianetics books, overdosing on Niacin and hating Psychiatrists?

Case in point: I've been finding more and more of these idiotic type postings by Scientologists on the net. Enjoy signature 2217 on http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/boycottmi3, Amanda.

"I'm a Scientologist and I'll tell you that this crazy story about Xenu is total crap. Some people in the press keep saying that this Xenu story is what Scientologists believe. This is such garbage and it's a story repeated over and over and is intended to keep people from looking into what Scientology actually is. So why would some in the media intentionally try and keep people away from Scientology you ask? Because most media is well paid by the pharmaceutical industry. They see Scientology as a threat to their profits because it is. Scientology has many, many answers that work and are practical. Let's look at 1 example of how the psychiatric drugging industry is hurt by Scientology technology... Let's assume you know someone who has been depressed for several months or even years. Did you know that with Scientology you can literally snap him out of his dark days and make him feel happy again, sometimes in less than five minutes. How could this be? Because Scientology helps and works like nothing else before it. There is no need to be on a psychiatric drug everyday for the rest of your life. This is just one of thousands of solutions Scientology has and it would take literally books to tell you all it has to offer and can do. Give a Scientologist just a few minutes of your time and you'll quickly realize what a sham psychiatry and the psychiatric drugging business is. It's OK to be skeptical about Scientology, but don't assume that what you've been told about it is actually true. Just ask yourself would all these celebrities be involved in it if didn't help them and others tremendously?WWW.WHATISSCIENTOLOGY.ORG"

This posting is fun reading and full of holes. The one thing I've never been able to understand is the whole stance by Scientologists, including such stars as Isaac Hayes, who like saying dumb things like "Xenu is made up by the media or people who don't want you to learn about Scientology". How hard is it to understand that Xenu is taught in OT3 and if you're not yet OT3 you have not learned this information yet?

Scientologists......... WAKE UP!!!

History of Scientology Censorship and Attacks on the Internet

History of Internet Censorship by the "Church" of Scientology

1994 - Cancelbunny: Scientology censors alt.religion.scientology

Alt.religion.scientology (a.r.s.) has been one of the most active newsgroups on the Internet, a place where pro- and anti-Scientology netizens hotly debate each other. Beginning in 1994, Scientology operatives began tampering with a.r.s. by surreptitiously canceling postings critical of itself. The source of unauthorized cancellations came to be known as the Cancelbunny, although the Cancelbunny project really involved a number of cancelers. The Cancelbunny (or Cancelbunnies) deleted hundreds of messages using their email accounts at a variety of service providers, including Netcom, Deltanet, University College in Dublin, Ireland, Directnet, Kaiwan, and NetVoyage. All providers responded swiftly to determine the identities of the unauthorized cancelers and terminate their accounts. A group of netizens even joined forces to track down the Cancelbunny; they called themselves the Rabbit Hunters.

While the efforts of the Rabbit Hunters and Internet service providers slowed the Cancelbunny and forced it to jump around quite a bit, the bunny was still going actively in April 1995, 17 months after beginning its cancellations, and still appears from time to time now three years later.

1995 - Operation Delete a.r.s.: Scientology attempts to off the newsgroup

In January 1995 Scientology attorney Helena Kobrin unilaterally instructed Usenet servers to delete the whole a.r.s. newsgroup. Kobrin sent emails to the servers with the “remove” instruction usually used to delete newsgroups. Fortunately, her instruction was not followed, and three years later a.r.s is still very active.

1995 - Operation Raid: Scientology raids Internet users’ homes

Scientology’s 1995 raids of Internet users’ homes comprise one of the most atrocious chapters in the history of Scientology’s censorship war on the Internet. A great deal of information surrounds the raids. Briefly:

*February: Scientology raided the home of former Scientologist Dennis Erlich, seizing numerous items including computers and disks. Erlich ” along with Tom Klemesrud, the operator of his bulletin board system (BBS) and Netcom, his Internet service provider ” was subsequently sued by Scientology for “copyright infringements.”

*Early August: Scientology raided the home of former Scientologist Arnie Lerma for posting to the Internet a widely-available federal court document known as the Fishman Papers. The papers included excerpts of Scientology’s “secret scripture.” Scientology then sued Lerma, his service provider Digital Gateway Systems, and even the Washington Post for including 46 words from the Fishman Papers in an article on the incident.
Link: http://www.lermanet.com/cos/raid.html

*Late August: Again claiming copyright infringement, Scientology raided the home of Lawrence Wollersheim and Bob Penny, the then-directors of FACTNet, a nonprofit BBS (now a web site). With federal marshals standing by, Scientology seized computers, disks, files, and more. Naturally, Scientology then sued FACTNet.

*September: “Scientology agents, accompanied by a locksmith, local police, and two U.S. `computer experts’, entered the premises of XS4ALL (xs4all.nl), an Internet service provider in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Scientology demanded that XS4ALL remove a copy of the Fishman Papers from a customer’s web page. (XS4ALL refused to do so.) Dutch Internet users protested Scientology’s action by putting over 100 copies of the Fishman Papers on web sites all over the country. Scientology responded to this cyber-civil-disobedience campaign by suing four Dutch Internet service providers (including XS4ALL) as well as well-known Dutch writer Karin Spaink, who helped initiate the campaign. They withdrew this lawsuit on December 12, but filed a much larger suit, against 23 separate parties, on January 31. A court hearing was held on February 26, and a verdict was rendered on March 12, giving a total victory to the defendants.” [Written by Scientology critic Ron Newman].

1995 - Operation Anonymous Remailer: Scientology sues and squashes

Starting in January 1995 Scientology launched an attack against anonymous remailers and posters. In January a letter was sent to anonymous remailers demanding they not allow anonymous postings to a.r.s. or alt.clearing.technology. At this point, such prominent entities such as Electronic Freedom Foundation, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post reported Scientology’s Internet abuses.

Later, in the Spring of 1996, in an attempt to attack anonymous postings by “Scamizdat,” Scientology filed suit against a.r.s. poster Grady Ward and then Keith Henson. In connection with the suit, the Finnish anonymous remailer anon.penet.fi was ordered to reveal the identities of two of its users. The remailer’s administrator, Julf Helsingius, refused to disclose the names. Instead, on August 22, 1996, he closed anon.penet.fi, an action that shocked the Internet and was widely reported in the media.

1996 - Operation Spam Attack: Scientology clogs a.r.s.

Scientology’s abuse of a.r.s continued via a new method from May to December 1996. During this time, Scientology bombarded a.r.s. with thousands of spam messages taken verbatim from the Scientology web site. This action paralyzed the purpose and effective use of the newsgroup.

1998 - Operation Netizen: Scientology threatens netizens at large

Scientology had sent numerous emails to Netizens threatening litigation for posting even short excerpts of Scientology’s copyrighted material, despite the fact that copyright law allows such excerpting. Netizens and their families have received threats by email and fax, visits by Scientologists and private investigators, and slanderous phone calls.

* Web hosts of Tilman Hausherr and Ray Randolph were threatened with litigation. Scientology considers Hausherr’s parody of “$cientology” and Randolph’s domain name www.scientology-kills.net infringements of the Scientology trademark. To most observers, it seems that both uses are legal, since Hausherr’s parody and Randolph’s domain name constitute satire and commentary on Scientology rather than attempts to be mistaken for Scientology. The latter would be trademark infringement; but it would be difficult for anyone to mistake “$cientology” or “scientology-kills” for Scientology. Randolph has received the support of the ACLU and EFF, both of which will handle his litigation if Scientology follows through on its threat.

* Scientology sends Internet web site templates to 116,000 Scientologists, so that the Scientologists can set up pages that appear to be their personal home pages. City of Night says, “Church officials hope that by creating many, many web sites that link to Scientology’s home page, Scientology can clog search engines and prevent information critical of the Church from reaching those interested in learning all about Scientology.” [City of Night, March 19 - 25].

A number of these new templates are viewable on the links below:

2002 - Multiple Internet attacks

The Church of Scientology briefly managed to yank references to anti-Scientology websites from the Google search engine, one of the main sites being xenu.net.

Citing the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Scientology lawyers claimed that Google may no longer include anti-Scientology sites that allegedly infringe upon the Church of Scientology's intellectual property.

Another death because of Scientology - Accused refused bail

A practicing Scientologist woman from Sydney who is accused of murdering two family members has been refused bail.

The 25-year-old who can’t be named is accused of stabbing to death her sister and father, both Scientologists, in their home in Revesby last July.

It is also alleged that she attacked her mother but the third victim survived after two weeks in hospital.

The accused has been diagnosed with a psychotic illness, the doctor telling the court that his patient would respond better to treatment in the non-custodial environment at the Bunya facility at Cumberland hospital rather than the hospital wing at Long Bay where she currently resides.

The Magistrate denied the conditional bail application supporting the Crown submission but the accused’s actual medical treatment will remain the same no matter where she is housed.

So, why did this happened? A simple but horrible answer - Scientologists are not allowed Phych drugs of any kind no matter what the situation is.

This is not the first time this has happened. Learn more about Scientology denying people the medication they so badly need:

Nicole Kidman and Scientology - A simple history lesson that doesn't ad up

The "Nicole Situation" in Scientology is killing me. Here is what has led up until now.
This whole thing is about Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise, but in order to get the whole picture there is an insane amount of back story. You have no idea how Tom and Nicole have changed the history of many lives without even knowing it. Church of Scientology president, Dave Miscavige has been there, behind the scenes in Tom's life for almost two decades! This is not going to go by quickly. Better grab a drink and a snack before going at this one.

Rewind back to the Scientology Int Base in the 1990's:

1990:
Dave Miscavige has Greg Wilhere working on the Tom Cruise Project full time. Somehow, some way Tom Cruise needs to be made into a Scientologist no matter what! Mimi Rogers is not REALLY a Scientologist and just hangs with some Scientologists, but does not really attend courses or promote it at all.

Tom is heading off to shoot a race car movie. This was after he shot Born On The Fourth of July. Tom was coming to the Int Base doing his basic training courses. This was super Top Secret! Most base staff did not even know about it. It was so hush hush that you knew something was going on, but the people that were involved were made to sign a document that if they told anybody at the Base that Tom Cruise was there they had to pay a $50,000 fine and if they told somebody off the base, they had to pay $250,000. Bruce Hines can tell you about this, he was involved in the Top Secret courseroom that was set-up in the LRH Music Studio Conference room where Tom studied. Okay, so up until now, Tom has been coming to the base on his own and virtually unseen by anybody working there and not directly involved with his activities.

Tom Cruise goes off to shoot his race car movie.

Summer 1990 and the shit starts hitting the fan. Out of nowhere the G Units (small houses at the far end of the property near the Gold golf course) have to be completely renovated and staffed with services people, new flowers planted yadda yadda blah blah. This area is at the far ass end of the property without proper irrigation, soil etc. This is in the middle of the desert for the most part and to make this area look nice is not a small task.

When the first all hands gets called for staff to muster out by the G's the staff start to know something is up.

The staff are basically told that the G's are going to get done no matter what and all of the grounds around the G's will also be properly upgraded.
All hands would lead into the night and morning would come with staff still planting, cleaning, painting, ditch digging, curb painting, etc. You name it, it was being done.

Weeks and weeks worth of work would get done with all hands being called at any time. Some nights you would be heading for the 11PM bus home for the night, and a muster would get called. All hands for 3 hours before anyone secured for the night. 3 hours turned to all night and everyone back to post in the morning. Good thing no post time was spent on all hands!

Up until this point, no one really knows why the hell we are even making these stupid little houses such a freakin' paradise.

August 10th 1990 -

Anyone who spent anytime at the base now reading this knows this date. This is the day that the Int base started down the tragic path the it still trods down today.

Summers are unusually SUPER HOT at the Int-Base. 115 degrees is not uncommon during the day in the summer. Mid-afternoon with the 115 degree weather and all of the sudden the sky clouded up and within 60 minutes, there was 3 inches of water falling ONLY on the Int Base. It did not rain in Hemet. It did not rain in San Jacinto, but it rained more than it had the entire year in all of LA, all in a few minutes.

So much water had come down so quickly, winds had blown over huge trees, mud had poured down the mountain, and building were damaged across the entire base. The entire base was in "whites" when this went down. White shirts, white PANTS, white shoes and socks. People were running all over the place trying to salvage whatever they could. Muddy uniforms were a sign you had at least tried to do something to stop the widespread destruction.

Within an hour after the "flood" as it would eternally referred to, rumors were flying on what damage had been done. The water tower at the top of the hill was dented. The Cine Gym had a ton of broken tiles from a tree that fell. The Villas (RTC) had been flooded. Qual flooded, Del Sol Flooded, electricity was out all over the place, The Garage (Estates) flooded, and the mountain above the G Units turned to mud, rolled down the hill, across the highway, pushed over the wrought iron fence and flooded the G-Units!

Dave would hold an all base muster in MCI where he would assign GOLD a Condition of Confusion. He yelled so loud and so long at the entire crew that 2 people fainted during his tirade! When I say fainted, I mean fall down out cold, get carried out, fainted.

The flood was the straw that pushed Dave over the edge. He had been working his master plan for months on getting Scientology to the next level and his Tom Cruise plan was being completely killed by the Int Base. He had nowhere to bring Tom Cruise to show him how super duper Scientology was except for the Int Base and now that was destroyed.

Dave had basically put all staff on notice that the whole place was to get back to and beyond where it had been before the flood had occurred and until then it would be unbearable to be there.

15 minute meal breaks
Schedule extended to 8AM-12AM work days
If you are late to any muster - you stay up all night doing amends
If you are late a second time, you get assigned to the PAC RPF.
A list was issued of all of the items that had to be completed in order for the base to be upgraded out of lower conditions.

For the first week after the flood, most people did not go home. If you were lucky, you fell asleep somewhere and were smart enough to tell someone to wake you up for a muster.

At least 10 people would blow, 10 more would go to the RPF, 5 more would route out and generally the place was a hell to exist in.

After a few weeks the crew would adjust to the no sleep, short meals and miserable existence. This would groom them for the next 18 years at the Int Base.

Now we come to the stories that have been on the net for years. Tom and Nicole running in the fields with the flowers beneath them. This is all TRUE. Staying up for days planting these fields for what reason, no one knew. Then the Int Base would start to understand why Dave was so pissed.

Tom had dumped Mimi Rogers and had a new younger girl. Dave wanted Tom to come to the Base, but now Tom had another person who was also new to Scientology that he had to convert. This would take a better, bigger Int Base with more luxury items to compare with the lifestyles of Hollywood types.

With Nicole Kidman in tow, Tom's visits were no longer so confined and he regularly had the run of the place. He would watch full length feature films in the Rushes Theater (where Cine dailies were shown)
Drive his TW motorcycle all over the base, and now he and Nicole were making out all over the place.

He even had a brand new Mercedes delivered to Nicole for her birthday at the Int Base. It arrived on a flatbed truck and he gave it to her (the car) right there is the middle of the base right down by the main booth.

They were like teenagers running around the base having fun. Dave's plan was working. They could do anything they wanted and no one seemed to pay any attention to them or even bother them. Dave would watch movies with them sometimes and they would dine in the officer's lounge in MCI.

Greg Wilhere was their host and no matter what they did, Greg was either with them or watching over them making sure that everything was perfect.

Greg had actually been with Tom and Nicole on the set of Days of Thunder. Greg got to know them very well and hung out with them full time. Tom even changed one of the names of one of the characters in Days of Thunder to Dr. Wilhaire as a joke for Greg.

Greg was now well on his way to being the big dog with Tom on his way to becoming the next major celeb in Scientology. But until Tom was through a lot of courses and REALLY on board, he was not to tell anybody about the involvement in Scientology and Nicole would now ALSO have to get involved as well in order for it all to work properly.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman would come to the Int Base every now and then and both would study in the Music Studio Conference room that had been converted to a Celebrity Courseroom. Nicole was twinned with Michelle Yager on the PTS/SP course. Tom Cruise was twinned with Al Mace on the Academy Levels. Even Kirstie Alley would sometimes be on course when Tom was there. Kirstie was NEVER on course at the Int base, but when Tom Cruise would show up, she would get dragged up there as a prop to be in there so it was not like other celebs "weren't coming up to Int as well?"

Things were looking good. Tom is warming up to Scientology and Nicole seems to be on board as well.

Hopefully things work out with Nicole. Mimi Rogers did not last long after Dave Miscavige decided she was not REALLY a Scientologist and with her in the mix, Tom would NEVER become a REAL scientologists either. She had to go. Funny how Tom was able to hook up with Nicole and Mimi just disappeared out of his life. Well that's where Greg Wilhere comes into play, behind the scenes weaving the web and setting things up in the background. How is one of the top executives in all of Scientology is playing celebrity match maker? You have no idea!

Nicole and Tom get married in Colorado and who attends the wedding? Dave Miscavige from and Greg Wilhere from Scientology.

1993
Years and several Int Base visits would go by and finally Tom would arrive at OT 3. Nicole would never get past a few basic courses. This is when things would get ugly. Tom gets to OT 3 and disappears into his own world again. Tom basically was like "WTF???????" years of this shit and now you are telling me that this whole thing is about fucking space aliens?!?!?!?!
Even though he could not tell Nicole about the space aliens, she was very content to walk away from the Scienos and was basically doing whatever Tom wanted her to.

Tom and Dave had a huge argument when Dave tried to shove some KSW shit down Tom's throat, Tom said that he was going to taking a break. Ever wonder how he ended up doing so many movies that were like "how could he do that movie is he is supposedly a Scientologist?" well, he wasn't, he decided that Scientology was a bunch of crap. He was going to turn his back on Dave and his cronies. Greg was nuked for screwing the Tom project up and would shortly after be sent off to the Freewinds to watch Marty Rathbun that had just blown the Base and was very unstable. They would however, both come into play years later.

For most, the Tom Cruise project had run its course and ended up on the rocks.

Years would go by and nothing on Tom was heard. He just stopped being a Scientologist.

Now most people knew that Tom could not have kids when he was married to Mimi Rogers. They were not married that long, but one of the "reasons" why Tom divorced her was that she could not have children and he wanted to start a family.

Well, when he Nicole had tried for many years, it appeared that it was him who could not have kids as Nicole was not getting pregnant either. Sure enough tests proved this to be the case. Adoption would be the only way.

2001:

So now we fast forward to the moment that turned it all around and for the most part is the exact moment when Scientology would do itself in without even knowing it. Years had passed since Tom had even spoken with anyone about Scientology or even been anywhere near the subject.

Several people had been installed within Tom's staff and personal infrastructure so that the Church would be able to keep tabs on what was happening with him and know when they would be able to make their move to get him back. That moment had come.

Nicole had been shooting Moulin Rouge and somehow she managed to get more than a few scenes shot. She was pregnant! But Tom cannot have kids - right? So again here is Tom saying WTF? Bitch!!!

Dave gets the Nicole intel and works fast. Marty Rathbun from Scientology is sent in to meet up with Tom and feed him a whole story about how Nicole was his SP and that she was ruining his life and basically a total ho bag. Of course Tom agrees with this under the circumstances. Marty offers to take Tom is session and do some repair auditing and get him patched up.

Before you know it, Tom is divorcing Nicole and all out of nowhere he completes OT 4 with Marty auditing him! Now the church and Int Base staff are saying WTF? Where has he been the last 8 years? All of the sudden he is a Scientologist and Nicole is out of there? How? Why? Bizarre, but okay if he's back, he's back.

Turns out that Nicole can't just get declared an SP as that might run a bit odd in the press (KSW has clauses for this of course) Anyway. Nicole gets told, if you want to see the kids that they have now adopted, you cannot say shit about Scientology or Tom period. If you say anything, the kids are with Tom and that is the end of that.

Now Tom is at the Int - Base all the time, he is doing events, he is getting auditing, all over the place, He starts dumping insane money (50-100 million) into Scientology, he is just everywhere.
Dave and him are hanging out at soccer games, racing motorbikes, flying all over the place in Tom's private jets etc.

There are a ton of stories that could fill this section, but we will stick to the main subject matter here, Scientology and how getting Tom Cruise laid is on their top priority list!

Now Tom is REALLY a Scientologists and Dave Miscavige and him are best buddies. What does a real buddy do, he acts as your wingman and helps you get some tail every once in awhile.

But now we have been through two women and neither had proved to be a good choice in terms of the Scientology angle so Dave wanted to at least limit Tom to Scientologist tail. He basically went over this with Tom and it was agreed, Tom went along with it.

Tom actually ended up dating a Spanish gal he met in Spain while opening up a new org there with Dave. She was a Spanish actress and a total fox. This was kept so hush hush, nobody had even noticed her on the Tom Cruise map. Good thing because when the church decided to dig up some info on the girl, turns out she had a bit of a shady past, a bit of girl on girl action, some soft core porn stuff and basically she would not live up to the microscopic scrutiny that the world would put her under as a Scientologist and Tom Cruise's new gal pal. She was outta' there!

Well, Tom needed a girl and between Dave Miscavige and him, they were not coming up with anything workable, so -- time to bring in the expert. Greg Wilhere was brought in for this job again. He had done it before, he just needed to qualify the girl a bit better this time.

It was agreed that they needed a foxy Scientologist that was on purpose, in ethics, yadda yadda blah blah. They set-up an audition unit at CC int that called in just about every Scientology actress anywhere under the sun, moon and stars. The "audition" was for a possible part in a Tom Cruise movie and several personal questions were asked about the person and what they thought of Tom, Scientology etc.

Video tapes would get made daily of the auditions and sent up to Dave to review. This went on for weeks. Well, it turns out that no girl in Scientology was good enough for Tom. All auditions were rejected. They would need to fish outside the pond for this one.

Plan B - Who do you want? This was the question Dave asked him. If you could have any girl, which one would you want? We will make her a Scientologist!

Well Tom Cruise wanted one girl more than any other - Jennifer Garner.

"How do we get to Jennifer Garner? Somebody who knows Jennifer? Good idea - who do we know that knows Jennifer? JJ Abrams!!! He does the Alias shows with her. Let's have him do a project! We already have a director for the next Mission Impossible installment, damn! I've got it, we will fire the current director that is contracted to do the movie and get JJ on board. Once JJ is on board we will get Jennifer on board and that's it -we have her!"

So once JJ Abrams is on board, Tom finds out from JJ that Jennifer Garner has a big thing for tigers. Tom figures this is a sure way to get her. What does he do, he buys here a freakin' tiger. Not a tiger skin, not a tiger stuffed animal toy, a real live freakin’ TIGER in a cage and all.

Jennifer is so freaked out that she thinks Tom is nuts! Turns out the tiger was not the best idea.

Who is next on the wish list? Scarlett Johansson!
We all know about that story. One meeting at CC Int and she was history.
Awesome factoid: Scarlett did not star in MI:3 because she was shooting another movie - The Island - which just happened to star the same actor that supposedly boned down on Tom's last wife! Karma baby! Damn that dude is out to get Tom!

Okay, Greg Wilhere is now flying back and forth between LA and New York interviewing actresses and trying to get Tom some tail. Somehow Katie Holmes ends up on the list and the rest is history.

Now hear is the part that baffles all logic and only Tom, Katie and Tom's lawyer know the truth behind this. If Tom cannot have kids with Mimi Rogers who now has two kids from a latter marriage, and Tom cannot have kids with Nicole whose pregnancy was reason for their divorce, then how does he manage to get Katie Holmes pregnant 2 hours into their relationship?????

Maybe the kid that Nicole was carrying was Tom's!!! But she was really sleeping around and could not deny it. Either way, all the stress killed the baby and we will never know.

So that brings us to the current situation. Is Nicole up in arms because the kids are basically turning into Scientologists anyway. What does she have to lose?

And where the hell did Suri come from? That is a damn good question.
I bet you would like to know.

I will save that for another post.

Until next time...
BFG

THE END OF THE "CHURCH" OF SCIENTOLOGY IS UPON US - Get your Xenu dolls before they are all sold out!

The Church of Scientology in Belgian will be banned and shutdown. The twelve or more Scientologists involved will rightfully go to prison. Also, who knows how many others they'll bring down with them because as we all know, Scientologists are a bunch of huge pussies who would sell their own grandma for a bottle of Niacin and a Dianetics book.

Belgian Prosecutors have 10 years of investigating this. They have all the corrupt illegal activities all caught on audio/video and other information that will set a precedent for EVERY other Scientology "church". It's not too late to get out Scientologists, but run fast! 12 of your buddies are going to jail and possibly more.

As a side note:

While in Germany, crews working on a movie starring Scientology follower Tom Cruise were banned from filming at military sites due to the actor's membership in this criminal organization (Scientology).

Xenu Speed!

Prosecutors have charged twelve members of the Church of Scientology in Belgium

After a ten-year investigation, Belgium prosecutors have charged twelve members of the Church of Scientology. The accusations include fraud, extortion, illegal practice of medicine, and infringement of privacy law, among others. The decision opens the way for Scientology to be considered a criminal organization.

The group, which is based in Los Angeles, teaches that the human mind can control the

physical world through mental training. It has several high-profile celebrity members who laud its teachings, as well as former members that describe Scientology as a vicious cult.

Henre de Cordes is chairman of the Information and Advice Centre on Harmful Sectarian Organizations in Belgium. He says the investigation showed some of the allegedly illegal activities undertaken by individuals.

"In the police raids during the investigation of 1999, they found lots of personal files on the followers of Scientology, which led to the charge of infringement of privacy law."

Grey area
While the organization itself is implicated in the prosecutor's decision, it may not mean the end of Scientology in Belgium. De Cordes thinks the Church will adapt and survive after the charges.

"It would probably lead to the end of the structure which is present right now in Belgium. If a new structure is being organized by other people than those charged in this criminal case, a new group could continue the activity of Scientology."Scientology exists in a grey area. Governments have defined it as either a religious organization or commercial enterprise. De Cordes thinks the Belgian decision, as with any attempt to ban the group, will probably be contested in court.

"They would argue that freedom of religion has not been respected. After this Belgian decision there could also be a decision at the level of the human rights court of Strasbourg."

Mixed European success

The Scientologists have had mixed success in Europe. In April, the European Court of Human Rights ruled against Russia, which had refused to acknowledge the Scientology branch in Moscow.

While in Germany, crews working on a movie starring Scientology follower Tom Cruise were banned from filming at military sites due to the actor's membership in the group.

The President of Scientology is insane - Great audio

The president of Scientology, Heber Jentzsch, is insane. Listen to this audio of him getting completely crazy. This is standard tech in Scientology:
http://scientologypresidentonradio.ytmnd.com

Listen to how Heber does not want Dennis to talk about OT3, the story of Xenu and exorcism.

Read more about Xenu and exorcism in Scientology.

Notice how when Scientologists get cornered they start asking the other person about their probable crimes (known and unknown) and if they are on drugs. This is all simple tech taught by L Ron Hubbard's doctrines.

L Ron Hubbard, the creator of the 'Church' of Scientology:
“Never discuss Scientology with the critic. Just discuss his or her crimes, known and unknown.”

Scientology promotes freedom of speech but NEVER practices it

There is not one pro Scientology blog or forum that has it's comment section unmoderated. Not one pro Scientology blog or forum will let you talk about anything remotely critical to the "religion". Scientology call this Entheta. They will not let you discuss anything critical to L Ron Hubbard or speak of Xenu who is the focus of topic in OT3 (The Wall of Fire) and the main belief of Scientology's upper levels and the sole reason for auditing.

There is a Scientologist named Jenny that posts comments on all my blog postings. Notice how she is able to voice her opinion and promote Dianetic books. Then notice how ALL of Jenny's blogs have the comments ALL moderated. She will not let you post anything that does not speak %100 positively about Scientology. She blocks ALL comments that question anything about Scientology or it's belief system. This is common with ALL Scientologists. They refuse to see the other side. They also know if they see anything that speaks of the other side to Scientology they risk getting a sec check or being sent to the RPF.

Scientologists such as Jenny promote freedom of speech but NEVER practice it. Jenny asks me why I won't talk to her in her blog postings to me. How can I? She doesn't let you post comments. She leaves no contact info such as email or phone number.

Well Jenny, you can post away on my blog and to you and anyone else, here is my contact info just as I have always posted it:

Could Scientology Survive a Free Market?

Author:
J Funk Era (L-KS)

One thing I hear a lot from my anti-Scientologist friends usually relates how Scientology skirts the rules and laws by agencies such as the IRS and the DEA and try to pressure government to not only fix the problem, but to create more rules to try to legislate Scientology out of existence. My question to them is are these even good laws to begin with and is it possible for Scientology to exist in a totally free market devoid from all regulation and taxation? They usually look at me bewildered and respond "WHAT!? That is what Scientology wants! You're giving them a free pass. We need the FDA, amongst other reasons, to help take down Scientology."

Of course I couldn't disagree more.

Fraud, Theft and the IRS; Nothing New.

We all know how Scientology's Operation: Snow White was a plan to get spies and plants into the IRS and the FBI and steal all files that reflect negatively about Scientology and wire tap them in order to polish L. Ron's apple, and to find some kind of collateral that they could use against the IRS to get it's tax exemption status. While they did this the IRS pressed on against their tax exemption eligibility until Scientology's scam was blown and FBI agents raided the Scientology Headquarters in Los Angeles, CA. Mysteriously the IRS blessed them with tax exemption. Why? Might It be that they had leverage over them because they had proof that the IRS was a corrupt organization itself? Or that there wasn't a law that requires the average worker to pay a federal income tax? What if I went back on topic? Taxation is slavery. Because we are all slaves to the state doesn't mean we should force Scientology to be to. Instead of working to get the IRS after them, we should work on getting rid of the IRS all together so we can all keep the money we earned.

The Ministry of Health; Sickness is Health.

The FDA is considering making all vitamins and supplements a prescription only and subject to the FDA approval process. This would sever a lot of income from Scientology which produces it's own vitamins though it's sister groups and member's private companies. Scientology does assert that you can cure any disease, condition or addiction though Scientology tech and vitamins. Of course the Church and it's adherents will deny this for legal reasons, but I find it hard to find an ex member of the church who admits this as being the case. Also the FDA mandated that all e-meters contain the following warning:

"The E-Meter is not medically or scientifically useful for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease. It is not medically or scientifically capable of improving the health or bodily functions of anyone."

So the Federal Government mandated that it be expressed as above. Scientology refused and put it's own version of the warning on it's e-meter:

"By itself, this meter does nothing. It is solely for the guide of Ministers of the Church in Confessionals and pastoral counseling. The Electrometer is not medically or scientifically capable of improving the health or bodily function of anyone and is for religious use by students and Ministers of the Church of Scientology only."

To date, the FDA has never done anything about it. Why? Because the government doesn't care. Why should it? Why bother with a small cult ripping people off? Why should it when some people in government are Scientologists themselves and start a political shell game? What can we do to get them to reverse their decisions to kick Scientology to the curb? Not a damn thing. They have no interest in pressuring them. Not even 10 million Tory Christmans could make that happen.

So what can we do? Abolish these organizations altogether. Now before you start sending those hate mails over I'll explain why this would be the best way, starting with the IRS.

If the IRS taxes Scientology, Scientology would just pass those costs onto it adherents who will gladly shell out for it and Scientology will be just as much of slave as we are. Also this will help the adherents from economic ruin because they would be able to keep all of the money they earned and not have to pay the hidden 22% tax when they shop at stores. People keeping all of their money would make them more wise about who or what they donate to and keep the economy booming. Besides, what did government ever do to earn your money anyways?

Anti-Scientologists want the FDA around for more than just taking down Scientology. They prevent bad drugs from getting on the market like the prenatal drug Thalidomide which deformed many children. What they fail to realize is all the quackery being sold today. Penis pills causing heart attach, herbal remedies causing chemical reactions that release poison gases, homeopathic "remedies" that are just diluted with water or other fillers to the point that usually contain not even one single molecule of the supposed "active ingredient” left. Even if this new ban comes along, these snake oil peddlers will still come out with more innovative ways around the laws as will Scientology and the FDA will do nothing. Don't forget about drugs like Phen-Fen and Vioxx approved by the FDA that caused death or serious health problems to it's users and that aspirin would not even make it though the FDA approval possess today.

So we can't expect them to do what they do right anyways, but even if they did a good job it still hurts. When you hear the spokesmen for the FDA announce that we might have found a cure for AIDS and it will save 400,000 people a year when it gets approved in 5 years. How many reporters ask the spokes man "So you are going to kill 2 million people by refusing them access to the drug?" What would the spokes man say? It takes up to 1 billion dollars and 12 years of research to approve a drug in this country with the FDA and we wonder why there are only a handful of pharmaceutical companies making drugs. It's not protecting people from bad drugs, it's protecting drug cartels from competition. A man who finds a cure for cancer in his kitchen could not sell his concoction even if there's no side effects because he doesn't have the means to get it passed though the FDA.

I think the most dangerous part of having an FDA is that anything that slips by it's regulation automatically gets a cloak of legitimacy from the state. People know, fallaciously I might add, that if the FDA allows a supplement to exist with out pulling it like it has ephedra, then it can't be bad for you or that it works. Even though the FDA mandates that these supplements supply this warning, it still doesn't inform them how the FDA operates when it comes to supplements.

"These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, cure, prevent or treat any diseases."

People assume that the FDA will protect them from dubious health claims because that's what it was designed to do. So when it allows Scientology the ability to sell e-meter services and vitamins it is saying to people "We can't say it can cure anything, but it's good enough otherwise we'd ban it like we did ."

Governmentless; Now what?

Well so if we are damned if we do, but are we damned if we don't? I don't believe so.

To understand how this might work we need not look any further than the world of electronics. Without government regulation comes market regulations. People understand that electronic devices with out the Underwriters Laboratories approval stamp could mean exploding microwaves and iPods that incinerate themselves in your pocket. The average person, however, does not realize that this is a private company that charges fees to electronics manufacturers for there approval and not a government body. You can make an electronic device and sell it in America without their approval, but stores will not resell it and people will not buy it in bigger markets without it. No one will want to buy your police scanner if it melts before it picks up the signal about their house being on fire. The UL does have some government backing by them using it in their own endeavors which stifles it's competition but it still does an excellent job.

If the FDA were dissolved tomorrow, non-profits like the UL would spring up for food and drugs and competing testing groups would battle it out in the market place to provide the best testing at the lowest price to all food, supplement and drug manufacturers. If a organization kept approving bad drugs it's approval stamp would be disregarded by the retailers and the consumers and the manufacturers would not pay for for it's approval. An organization which has a great reputation from not approving dangerous drugs would be heralded and preferred by all. This would also keep the drug manufacturers responsible for the drug they sell and they wouldn't have a government body to pin an excuse on when it develops the next Phen-Fen.

Now because homeopathic medicines, Scientology, and other quackery simply would not get any of their approval and would be condemned by such organizations we could see them all dissolve rather quickly. Because there is only 1 FDA they can point out how they are using faulty evidence, manipulating the data, or how it's just an evil government conspiracy against them. But could it say the same thing about 10 independent organizations whom all condemned them without looking ridiculous to the public?

Yea, but...

Well we can keep doing more of the same which allow Scientology and Christian Science to thrive even in the face of controversy of murder and death. We can put more strict regulations on them to skirt and still hold some legitimacy. However it is pointless. We can't even trust the government to handle housing for poor people or reasons why we went to war, yet somehow we can trust them with our finances, retirement, and our health?

We can do a lot to get Scientology cleared from the plant, but using government to do it will just mean less freedom, more taxes and more of the same. Give me liberty or give me death!
