Church of Scientology [Letter] — Globe and Mail (Canada)

Once again The Globe and Mail has published a most one-sided series on Scientology (The Scientology Papers - Jan. 22 et seq). I hope you will show your usual journalistic fairness in preparing another series by a different writer which explores such matters as: why Scientology has enjoyed such a phenomenal growth rate; what persons who have received Scientology services say of those services; why the Church of Scientology has apparently resorted to clandestine activities such as infiltration and wiretapping; and ...

A Metro Toronto separate school teacher who runs a Scientology-inspired night school in her spare time is being investigated to determine whether her belief in the cult is compatible with Roman Catholic teaching. Betty Millen must persuade the separate school board that her connections with Scientology do not render her unfit to teach in a Catholic school. Miss Millen teaches at St. Francis of Assisi elementary school by day; by night she is principal of Education Alive, a reading school controlled ...

LANSING — The Michigan Department of Corrections paid more than $100,000 during the last three years to a drug treatment program with veiled ties to the controversial Church of Scientology. Leaders of the drug program, known as Narconon, admit it is based on Scientology teachings, but they deny any affiliation with the church. A state corrections official said he was satisfied that Scientology does not run Narconon. Church records obtained by The Detroit News showed, however, that Scientology leaders created Narconon ...

DAVID BERESFORD investigates the activities of Scientology's secret intelligence unit whose director is based in Britain IT WAS a familiar beginning to an American public scandal: soon after 7 pm on the night of June 11, 1976, two burglars were caught in the US Court House in Washington DC. In the Watergate tradition frantic attempts were made to localise responsibility. But the cover-up finally cracked and disclosures followed which were to lead, not to the top of the Republican Party, but ...

Toronto ON — Narconon, Scientology's drug rehabilitation program, soon will be deprived of a free listing among the emergency numbers inside the front cover of the Metro Toronto telephone directory. The listing, which has appeared for the past five years, will be replaced by the number of the Addiction Research Foundation because Bell Canada has revised its policy to give precedence to organizations that have been created by government legislation. Narconon received another setback last week when the Ontario Ministry of ...

Toronto ON — I must admit, John Marshall's series The Scientology Papers (Jan. 22, et seq) were not pleasant reading for myself or other members of the Church. I would have hoped that among all the revelations he wrote of, some attempt to analyze the reasons for and causes of the action taken by the Church of Scientology in the United States would have been made. Apparently, the story behind the scenes is not good copy. But the background story is ...

Toronto ON — L. Ron Hubbard, the former science fiction writer who publicly resigned in 1966 from leadership of the Church of Scientology, continued to give orders to its leaders into 1977, a Washington court has been told. Evidence obtained in 1977 in raids on U. S. offices of the cult by the Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed there was a detailed program to cover up Mr. Hubbard's involvement in the leadership of Scientology.

New light has been shed on the Canadian operations of the controversial Church of Scientology by files made public by a U.S. District Court in Washington. The evidence refutes denials by Toronto cult leaders of information I reported more than five years ago in a series of articles based on internal cult documents and interviews with defectors. Other accounts since then of clandestine operations by the cult in Canada are also supported by the files, submitted in court after being seized ...

About 100 agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation learned on July 6, 1977, that they would be participating two days later in an operation unprecedented in the United States. The notification, described two years later in a Washington court room, said the agents would be raiding offices of an organization that some governments, in the United States, Canada and elsewhere, officially classified as a religion — the Church of Scientology.

The church headquarters had been at 3605 Rochester Road in Royal Oak. Citing a desire "to be more centrally located for our parishioners," Suzanne Lee, Scientology's local public relations director, said the church spent the last ...

CLEARWATER — The Church of Scientology's infiltration of Clearwater government apparently went deeper than church files released by the federal government show, City Manager Tony Shoemaker said Monday. He based that conclusion on a list of documents returned to the church after FBI agents raided a Scientology building in California. Shoemaker said the list included files on City Commissioner Karleen De Blaker, Clearwater Police Chief Frank Daniels and "Clearwater government." But a federal court ordered the Justice Department to return close ...
