How much will the formerly "contrite" sounding Scientology management have to pay to put Lisa behind them? How will they determine the value of Lisa's life? The current image being portrayed of a "softer side" of Scientology is not what it seems---nothing ever is in Scientology---it's just another cloak for the calculating evil lurking underneath the surface. Scientology is all about money and evil. In death, you can be certain that Lisa's life will be worth very little to Scientology. Rumors already abound of the insulting settlement proposals made in June. Now we have the criminal charges. A lot of bad PR, a plea bargain in the making, $30,000 in fines, a few heads roll and Scientology goes back to business as usual. Except of course, if you believe Scientology, a case like Lisa's will never happen again at the "spiritual" HQ of Scientology at the Fort Harrison Hotel in Clearwater, Florida. Right! From now on, take cases like Lisa's, of which there are many, and put them in their California desert torture chambers where the screams will never be heard. Then Scientology can settle quickly and quietly with the dead member's family---gag orders and all. Well Scientology, you remember the two times we met in June and July when you asked me "to cut off money to Ken Dandar" because he says "he has nothing to lose"? From his statement you concluded he would not negotiate a settlement with you unless you could strangle him financially. My June Boston meeting with Rinder and Rathbun happened 2 days after the insulting settlement proposals and multimedia cryathon presented to Lisa's family and Mr. Dandar. Now, we must remember Fanny McPherson's last death-bed instructions to Ken Dandar: "Ken, I want you to let the whole world know what Scientology did to Lisa." Well Scientology, I want to let them know as well, and you undoubtedly know that, judging from my excellent performance at the press conference I held in front on the Pinellas County Criminal Court yesterday for the large press contingent. To further that aim, last week I promised Lisa's family and Ken Dandar all the financial support necessary to finally make Scientology take responsibility for the purposeful punishment and torture inflicted on Lisa McPherson. Mr. Dandar received a further check yesterday for $100,000. What will the press do with the horrible and grisly autopsy photos not yet released of Lisa McPherson that will make the Scientology quack "medical" team look like butchers working for Joseph Mengele? Wait until Scientologists all over the world see how well Lisa was "taken care of" at FLAG--the alleged mecca of technical perfection! What happened to Lisa was no accident. It is exactly what Hubbard expected. In tapes and books Hubbard often told stories of vicious "implants" designed to drive their victim either insane or to grave illness were the victim to attempt to undo their effects. Of course these stories were a cloak for similar things Hubbard was doing to his disciples. What isn't so obvious is how close Hubbard came to developing a real-life version of what his storytelling described. Hubbard's Scientology is designed to be the worst of what he was talking about--an "implant" of the mind that either kills or drives its host insane if they try to undo it and don't do it properly. This is the goal he was shooting for. Hubbard's stories about incidents on "the whole track" describe technological sci-fi versions of what he was artfully trying to do to people in the present. If Hubbard were around to hear about it, he would have applauded in gleeful joy on learning about what had happened to Lisa McPherson. Hers was a case where his Scientology implant worked exactly as it was intended to. She decided Scientology was a fraud. She tried to break free of it. In response, Scientology and her implant turned on her and drove her into severe insanity. Hubbard's prescribed "care" assured that she died.I wouldn't be at all surprised if Hubbard's "tech" on handling the "psychotic" was fully intended to insure an agonizing death, to set an example for the others, once the crazy-making side of the implant had kicked in.
