Scientology caught lying again about Los Angeles Police Department

International Scientology News issue 23, page 13 has 2 photos
from the Hollywood Christmas parade last December. A row of
motorcycle cops are saluting in both photos, in front of the
LRH Life Exhibit on Hollywood Blvd.
The caption says that this was the only stop on the parade for
the motorcycle cops and it was done "to show their
appreciation for the betterment of their community with a salute
to LRH."
I sent the LAPD Media Relations Department information about
this claim.
Today I spoke with Sgt. John Pasqueriello of that department.
He told me that he contacted that motorcycle unit. He was told
that they were NOT saluting LRH. They were just saluting at the
beginning of the parade. It had NOTHING to do with Scientology.
Here is another blatant lie by Scientology to go with Hubbard's
PhD and the 8 million members. I would think Los Angeles citizens
would be pissed off at Scientology for claiming that their city
singled out LRH for a big salute in the Christmas parade. Come
to think of it, since it was a Christmas parade, shouldn't they
have been saluting in front of a Christian Church? No, because
the saluting was just part of the parade!!!
Does anybody have a web site compiling all the lies of Scientology?
[Note: The
Scientology®
organization has at best estimate approximately
45,000 to 50,000 followers world wide -- contrary to the 8 million figure
that the organization has been claiming for the past few years or so.
While that number continues to drop (thanks in part to the Internet) few
of the remaining followers are even aware of the unending series of police
raids, indictments, and prison terms their leaders and fellow cultists are
subjected to routinely. Few are allowed to know about their organization's
criminal history, or its current racketeering activities. Even fewer of
the cult's remaining followers are privy to their messiah's written
policies which dictates the criminal behavior that keeps getting their
organization raided (see Xenu.NET for
suitable references of Scientology policy) Scientology management
is the problem, not the thousands of honest believers who are good,
honest citizens; themselves victims of Scientology - flr]
The name "Narconon"® is trademarked to the Scientology organization through one of their many front groups. The name "Scientology"® is also trademarked to the "Church" of Scientology. Neither this web page, nor this web site, nor any of the individuals mentioned herein assisting to educate the public about the dangers of the Narconon scam are members of or representitives of the Scientology organization.
