i want to put something about this in but am unsure what part. i was thinking possibly about the cover up of the rape would be good as that is the cover up of an actual crime 

"Aaron Saxton is one of the victims of Scientology who wrote to me. He was born into the organisation and rose to a position of influence in Sydney and the United States. In his statement, he says that when he was a child his mother was coerced into signing over guardianship of him to a Scientology official so he could be moved to Australia. In or around January 1990, he was told by the organisation not to report the attempted rape of him by a man. He says this was due to the organisation’s public relations policy.

Aaron was still a child when, he says, he was asked to cover up the defrauding of credit cards and cash by a Scientology employee. He says the organisation exercised frightening levels of control over followers. At least 10 times he was forced to endure a diet of beans and rice for periods of up to two weeks as punishment. And because of Scientology’s bans on medications and seeking medical attention, he says, he was forced at times to extract his own teeth without the aid of painkillers.

At age 16, Aaron says, he was made a security guard for the church. In this role, he says, he issued so-called non-communication orders on no less than half a dozen families, including his own. These orders forced members of the organisation to cut off all contact with relatives and friends for fear of punishment. In his statement, Aaron says he was also forced to participate in the illegal confinement and torture of a follower who was kept under house arrest. Aaron says he accessed more than 150 files that contained personal information on followers, much of which was obtained during so-called ‘auditing’. This information is meant to be confidential. It is not. Aaron says this information was used to blackmail followers to keep them in the church as well as to discredit former followers if they left. This was a condoned violation of the so-called ‘priest-penitent privilege’. Aaron says he was also involved in deleting files of a member who had suicided.

Disturbingly, Aaron has also spoken out against the organisation’s policy on abortions. He says while under the control of Scientology he was involved in coercing female followers to have abortions. He says this was in line with a policy designed to keep followers loyal to the organisation and to allow them to keep working for the organisation. Aaron says women who fell pregnant were taken to offices and bullied to have an abortion. If they refused, they faced demotion and hard labour. Aaron says the hope in the organisation was that if these pregnant women were given these punishments they would give in and have an abortion or miscarry. Aaron says one staff member used a coat hanger and self-aborted her child for fear of punishment. He says she was released from the organisation and the files were destroyed.

In 1991 Aaron says he was sent to Scientology headquarters in Florida, where he was involved in the removal of funds from Scientology bank accounts to pay for private services for executives in the organisation. He also says he was made to falsify bank records and ordered more than 30 people to be sent to Scientology’s work camps, where they were forced to undertake hard labour. He also says he used personal and financial information of followers to track them down if they tried to leave. Aaron has said the organisation forced him to create fraudulent education certificates for children under the age of 15 in order to allow them to work for the organisation. He also says he was coerced into putting five individuals under house arrest on five separate occasions. These people were not permitted to leave until the organisation had obtained, through coercion, the statements it wanted.

Aaron also claims knowledge of two instances where followers in the United States confessed to murder but this information was not passed on to police. He also says he was ordered by superiors to remove documents that would link a Scientology staff member to murder. Aaron says he and other members opened the files of several celebrity Scientologists in order to glean information which could be used as leverage to force a greater commitment to the organisation. Some might call that blackmail. In his statement he also details attempts which were made to coerce one celebrity Scientologist into having an abortion. He says the young man who impregnated the celebrity was forced from the organisation and cut off from his parents, who remained Scientologists.

Aaron said he was so heavily under the control of the organisation’s bizarre power structure he was complicit in ordering the beating of one follower and facilitated the beating of another. He says he was ordered to help a Scientologist who was hiding from authorities and admits to ordering the throwing overboard of a man from the Scientology ship the Freewinds. He is not sure if this order was ever carried out.

Aaron has now left the organisation and is willing to cooperate with police investigations into these matters. He was born into the cult, and he says he regrets the control it had over him and the things he did as a result. I ask my fellow senators: do these things sound like religious activities to you? Does this sound like an organisation that should be receiving support from the Australian taxpayer in the form of tax exemptions because they claim to be a religion?"

heaps good job man.

i'd help but i have exams next week.

Three more are arent too interested, but it's possible.

Two more are a distinct possibility.

That would be seven people.

Be prepared for wind, light rain. Min 14 Max 22

We've prepared a banner, xenophon flyers and music :)

We will wait ~20-25 mins for any late anons.

All systems are go.

*Suit good sir. A 'suite' is like bedroom suite.

- And now you know…

As for the raid, t'was good, we had a good amount of flyers, we reached the end with a couple remaining. Not as many showed up as we had thought, and my large maybe group of six went off and were otherwise occupied, which is fine, they didnt understand the cause too well.

The weather didnt bother us much, although occasional gusts of wind caused us to hold on to our masks (and my hat) quite firmly at times.

 The police showed up and asked us politely not to protest outside the org. Apparently they were contacted with reports of masked people yelling at them and banging on their window.

 If any anons did do this, this is irresponsible as it could jeopardise our friendly relationship with the local law enforcement. However, it's also likely the cos was making false accusations, as they have done in the past. Either way it didn’t hamper our progress educating the public :)

Wow… they've said worse, but that's bullshit. I highly doubt any anon has done that.

were you protesting on the other side of the org? that's what we've done all the time, specifically so they can't try bullishit like that.

that must mean that you're pissing them off, because they didn't used to do that before.

Next time, take a video camera, and stay longer. :D

Great work sir! keep it up!

This is now interesting.

Were the police there to begin with at the meeting point?

How did they contact you?

What exactly did they warn you from doing?

There's nothing illegal about protesting infront of the org, as long as you keep a thoroughfare available.

This means for sure that the adelaide org are reading the forums if you were warned beforehand with the renewed interest in protesting the org; I highly doubt that the police have the resources to; neither do they have the reason to.

I've talked to officers at the protests before (back when the police actually were there), I'm aware that scientology call the police pretty much each protest.

they must have been spooked this month due to lord xenuphon.

AnonVocis said:Two policemen arrived as we waited at the Vic Square statue, and said that they got a report of masked people yelling and banging on windows, and so we are advised not to go past the org today. Then they suggested that we call the station before protests and let them know what we're doing, which will ensure our legitimacy.

is that wise tho, to call the police before hand especially if there are any scilons in the police industry.

i suggest ringing like 30mins before hand that they its sort to late for them to do anything.

The police are cool with us. I don't think there are scions in the Adelaide police force because we haven't had any major grief from them (compared to what happens in the US and the rest of the world). Some protests we've even had nods from them when going down Rundle Mall.

wwp includes anons from all over the world, including Australia.
