In the net of Scientology, Psycho-Terrorism without End
Southwest Television reports on the Hamburg Organization
Baden-Baden, Germany
Baden-Baden (ots) - Up to now, Suedwestrundfunk
(SWR) is the only television broadcaster which has
managed to intrude into the internal life of the German
"Scientology" Organization. The opportunity presented
itself after "Scientology" left its world renowned
establishment ("Org") in Hamburg and moved into another
building. Southwest Television will broadcast a
documentary on this theme on Thursday, April 20, 2000,
"In the net of Scientology, Psycho-terrorism without end?"
by Hans-Michael Kassel and Jeannette Schweitzer.
Former management staff of Scientology Hamburg, they
were prepared to give the television cameras an exclusive
look into the rather strongly shielded processes in the
"Org." In doing that they give first-hand testimony and
demonstrate the methods of incremented recruitment, the
creation of dependency and the exploitation of members.
Since the 1970s, "Scientology" in Hamburg has been trying
to conquer Germany according to the pseudo-religious
rules of its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. The high-ranking
former members used authentic concepts to tell the SWR
team how, under the pretense of life assistance and over
the course of years, thousands of "customers," including
themselves, were sounded out with the help of primitive lie
detectors, exploited, and subjected to humanly
contemptuous rituals of punishment. "We were told - and
we believed - that it was a matter of spiritual freedom.
What it really was a matter of was money, money and
more money," reported a former top manager from
Scientology Hamburg.
