| Anonymous Press Release about Slappy’s Abuses
Posted: 05 Aug 2009 04:58 PM PDT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 4th, 2009.
Scientology admits violence in management, blames "Kingpin" as more speak out. The Florida-based St. Petersburg Times has released a follow-up to their most recent expose on the abusive nature of Scientology management, specifically focusing on Tom Cruise’s close friend and current leader of the Church of Scientology, David Miscavige. [1] The Times printed testimonials from many prominent former Scientologists, including Marty Rathbun, who was auditor (Scientology counselor) to Tom Cruise and now outspoken ex-Scientologist celebrity Jason Beghe. [2][3] Rathbun and others alleged that Miscavige is violent and abusive, slapping and punching even his top staffers and forcing them to publicly confess their "crimes."
The first report by the St. Petersburg Times triggered a huge backlash from Scientology. In an attempt to destroy the credibility of those who spoke out, the Church provided the St. Petersburg Times with the defectors' financial and medical information and damaging allegations from their ex-wives. In some cases, the Church even admitted to releasing the defectors' "auditing files," which the Church officially regards as confidential, even going as far as to claim that they hold the same weight as confessionals done with a Catholic priest. [4]
The most recent issue of the Church's magazine "Freedom" contained transparent attempts at character assassination (a tactic known to the church as "dead agenting"), labeling the first four of the Times' interviewees with such names as "Conman" and "Adulteress." The article did not call them by their real names. [5]
Despite these character attacks and violations of privacy, the expose prompted many other ex-Scientologists to break their silence. The most recent article from the St. Petersburg Times features 11 more ex-Scientologists verifying previous accounts and telling more stories of abuse from within. Among them is Bruce Hines, former auditor to Nicole Kidman and Kirstie Alley. Hines says that he was physically beaten by Miscavige on multiple occasions. He also says he faced the harsh punishment of the euphemistically named Rehabilitation Project Force for not standing when Miscavige entered a room.
While the defectors identify Miscavige as the perpetrator of these acts of violence, the Church points fingers at Rathbun and other former Scientologists. Both sides, however, seem to agree that a culture of violence was fostered and accepted in upper Scientology management for years.

| Will Smith Fires Head of his Scientology School
Posted: 05 Aug 2009 03:38 PM PDT
I know. I know. Will Smith says that it isn’t a Scientology school, only that it uses Hubbard’s Study Tech (making it a Scientology school). But the woman ousted from her post says she was fired because she had grown weary of Study Tech, at least according to Radar:
Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith have fired the head of their controversial private school The New Village Leadership Academy, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Jacqueline Olivier – the woman the famous husband and wife enlisted to set up their Calabasas campus – was axed from her $200,000 a year position via a telephone call from the Matrix actress.
“Jada phoned Jaqueline and told her that they had ‘decided to go in another direction’ with the school,” an insider told RadarOnline.com.
“As head of the campus her position was becoming untenable as she did not agree with Study Tech and felt uncomfortable with it.” Olivier “thrashed-out” a severance package with the couple and “it’s understood that she signed a confidentiality agreement with regard to her time at the school.” Earlier I had done a commentary mentioning Will Smith’s school. And check out this great site on Study Tech.

The haunting expose that details how Tom Cruise grew up and then
became an indoctrinated, dedicated scientologist. With excellent
English subtitles, this reveals from insiders who have recently left
the cult, how the cult lies and manipulates its followers and the media.
