KESQ: Child Labor, Abortions Inside Scientology

KESQ: Former Scientologists Claim Coerced Abortions, Child Labor Inside Church
Former Scientologist Maureen Bolstad:
• "I was actually one of the older ones at 17. There were 13-year-olds, 12-year-olds," Bolstad recollects. "There was just one kid, 12-years-old that was given an executive responsibility doing something. He had a complete nervous breakdown."
• "I was taught to lie too. I got a worker's comp claim form. They ask you how many hours do you work a week. And I was told to put 40 hours."
• "If a woman gets pregnant, and does not abort the child, then they are declared a suppressive person. Because, it kind of started out gradually. At first, the thing was, the Church of Scientology International did not want to pay for child care."


Also, at the end of the segment, Nathan Baca calls out Tommy Davis, spokesman for Church of Scientology, and David Miscavage, leader of the Church of Scientology, for a comment on what Channel 3 had run thus far on the Scientology VS Anonymous . As of now, no reply from either. I believe their silence speaks volumes.
It seems when given the chance to advertise their church on a news segment with softball questions, they jump right at the chance, but when cornered on specifics about their pay as you go religion, they are suddenly at a loss for words.
Odd since their cornerstone, supposedly, is built on communication.

Another Waco in the making?

Another Waco in the making? Extremist cult compound. Totalitarian leader. Weapons. Spiked fences. Dogma includes clearing the planet. Secrecy. It's got all the makings of one.

KESQ (News Channel 3, Palm Desert, CA) begins its third week of covering the Church of Scientology's International Headquarters (Gold Base or Golden Era Productions) by looking into the confidential security arrangements inside their center. [past KESQ videos]

Baca: There is actually a three way war going on here. There is a group of protestors who often gather outside the gates. There is a group of Scientologists who left this place but still believe in their religion away from the reach of church administration. Those who remain behind these gates do so because they believe they are saving the world. The question some are now asking is: at what cost?




On a side note, the location of this gold base seems to be more and more difficult to pinpoint on Google Maps since this series on Scientology VS Anonymous started. If you punch in Golden Era Productions at Google Maps, you get 2 flags for the base. "A" seems to point to a patch of nothing just north of the base, and "B" is a side street off of Gilman Springs Road, but listed as San Jacinto rather than Hemet.

So I just use my own bookmark labeled David Miscavage's 24 carrot patch, home of the end of the rabbit hole. You can always bookmark it in case the FBI or ATF ever make a raid there.

Jeff Hawkins interview Part 2

KESQ-News Channel 3 sent former Scientology marketing director and Portland, OR. resident Jeff Hawkins to KATU-TV, the local ABC television station, where he revealed what happened during his years inside Scientology's world headquarters in Hemet, CA. called "IntBase." His account of what goes on behind these fences is one of religious punishment and imprisonment .[part 2 of 2 below][part 1 of 2]

Below is an older ABC News report on the Rehabilitation Project Force Camps (or RPF's) in Clearwater, FL. The Nazi's called them Concentration Camps. To the Soviets they were Gulags. And in China they are Camps for Re-Education. They're all the same thing. Places designed to break the spirit and the body of the criminal inmates.

So, who ends up in the RPF?
1. People deemed to have hidden evil intentions (detected by the E-meter).
   
2. People who were unproductive and scored poorly on the personality test.
   
3. Repeated "stat crashers" (people who were held responsible for declines in Scientology organizations' productivity)
   
4. "Overt product makers" (people who produced poor-quality work).
   
5. People who spoke against any member of the church or church activity (declared a Suppressive Person).

KESQ: Deeper into the Scientology 'Rabbithole'

From Nathan Baca's KESQ Blog:

• Wednesday night, we will have the first half of our interview with former Scientology marketing director Jeff Hawkins. The second half of Hawkins' interview will be Thursday night at 11.

• The second push of our News Channel 3 investigation "Scientology vs. Anonymous" will air Thursday night at 11. Note: Internet video of broadcasts usually are online a few hours after the broadcast (PST) are available here.


Here are two quotes from Hawkins' interview speaking about his time at Scientology headquarters in Hemet, California:

• "Within that Hemet compound, they work 100 hour weeks, seven days a week. They have no breaks. They have no vacations of any kind. They work around the clock. They have no private time. They're paid around 40 cents an hour and they're subjected to all kinds of punishments and abuse. If they do things that are wrong or if they don't toe the line, they have to run around the buildings, sometimes for miles in their street shoes, they get thrown in the lake out there which is pretty cold this time of year. And, if they refuse to come around and toe the line and be good members, they can go to these rehabilitation camps that they have in Los Angeles and in Clearwater which are virtual prisons and people have been there for years. They don't go outside. They don't see anybody. They are paid maybe 10 cents an hour for hard manual labor. They make furniture for the churches."


• "They spend part of their time studying Scientology and the rest of the time doing physical labor. They're not allowed to contact anyone outside of the Rehabilitation Project Force, they're virtual prisoners. They stay in dormitories, 30, 40 people to a room, with one bathroom. I've been down there. I was actually assigned to the R.P.F. for one day. And, then they said it was a mistake."

And in other rabbithole updates in the "Scientology vs. Anonymous" series:

• Monday, March 16, 2009, I called Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone's Chief of Staff to request an on-camera interview. I had the following questions for Supervisor Stone.
1. Does he know who gave them the booklet titled "Anonymous: Who They Are, What They Do?" Stone used the booklet to convince his fellow supervisors the protestors outside IntBase were dangerous to the community.
   
2. Does he believe the claims made in this booklet that the protestors are anti-Black, anti-Gay and anti-Semite are true? News Channel 3 interviewed a number of the protestors outside the Hemet IntBase. Many of the protestors identified themselves as either Black, Gay or Jewish.
   
3. News Channel 3 has obtained documents of the intelligence arm of the Church of Scientology, the "Office of Special Affairs." These documents are a manual for O.S.A. Employees to enact what is called a "Dead Agent Caper." This includes the practice of fabricating documents and giving them to policy makers to influence change favorable to the Church. These O.S.A. Documents have been validated to News Channel 3 by former and current members of the Church of Scientology. Is Supervisor Stone aware this recent revelation indicates the possibility that the booklet was created by Scientology's counterintelligence officers?
   

• Supervisor Stone's Chief of Staff refused our request for an interview. He did state he believed the information in the booklet was accurate because he did not hear any evidence otherwise. • News Channel 3 has video of protestors objecting to their portrayal of themselves as anti-Black, anti-Gay and anti-Semite in the booklet used by Supervisor Stone. • We have also not received any official response from the Church of Scientology to our series. News Channel 3 News Director Bob Smith invited spokesperson Tommy Davis to send us an email statement last week.

Tommy Davis paints self into corner, Comedy Ensues

Tommy's ever lying past comes back to haunt him in with the help of digital video, the internet and anonymousness's uncanny sense of humor.Let's connect the dots.

Back in March '08, the Village Voice said the Church of Scientology is about "... rid[ding] their bodies of invisible space-alien parasites?"
Then in May '08 Tommy Two-Face makes an appearance on CNN , and is asked about the Village Voice quote.
Davis answered, "You know, here's the thing. There are outrageous claims out there on the Internet about what Scientologists believe."
Yes, Tommy, we've heard the spin before, come down to the church, blah blah blah, buy a book, blah, blah, give me money.

Now let's fast forward to March '09, and KESQ-TV's Nathan Baca asks Tommy during an interview the same question. Get ready, more sci-dribble. See here, go there, blah, blah, they're haters, buy a book.

But just when you think this interview is going the way every other Scientology interview goes, Nat 'Brass Balls' Baca whips out an official Hubbard Big Book of Certified Fucked-Up-Ness (or Technical Notes of Operating Thetans), and begins to recite the OTIII story: "...the head of the galactic confederation. Seventy-six planets around larger stars visible from here...".

Well, Tommy 'Thetan' Davis changes his tune, right quick. Instead of come down to the church, blah blah blah, now it's ,"I can stop you. I know what you're talking about. I'm familiar with the material. I think what you're getting at is the confidential scriptures of the Church....What you're doing right now and what it is you're saying to me is an intent to ridicule religious beliefs. That's really what we're talking about. And you're just forwarding an agenda of hate."

Whoa, what happened to "Buy a Book" Tommy? Now it's "Get Off My Lawn, You Hate Monger" Tommy.
Oh that's right. I forgot. Always attack, never defend.

Tommy Davis Lies To CNN, Caught By KESQ

Scientology spokesman admits 'Xenu is Real'

16 March 09 www.theregister.co.uk
A Scientology spokesman, Tommy Davis, has confirmed that Scientologists believe that mankind's problems stem from brainwashed alien soul remnants created millions of years ago by genocidal alien overlord Xenu. The admission follows years of attempts to dismiss the story, first leaked by defectors, as anti-church propaganda.

In an interview with KESQ News Channel 3, Scientology spokesman Tommy Davis was quizzed over the Xenu story, which leaked papers show is revealed to senior Scientologists as part of their induction to "Operating Thetan Level III". Davis at first denied the story, as he had done in the past.

However, when the KESQ reporter read from a book written by Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard which refers to the Xenu story, Davis admitted that the story is authentic, albeit confidential and restricted. He then laid into KESQ reporter Nathan Baca, accusing him of "forwarding an agenda of hate".

	← LEFT KESQ News Channel 3's Nathan Baca: " We confront spokesman Tommy Davis with the confidential works of L. Ron Hubbard and ask why there are threats of death by pneumonia for those who read it."
RIGHT → Galactic CONfederation: Remix of L.Ron Hubbard's forbidden Xenu story. Yes, you can dance to it! Get some exercise, and lose those excess body thetans.

...And for an interesting back-story into how KESQ News Channel 3's Nathan Baca got involved in this interview at Golden Era Productions, in Hemet,CA. you can catch it all on his blog at KESQ.
