Justin Trottier: Violence at anti-Scientology protest — National Post
Type: Press
Author(s):
Justin Trottier Source:
National Post I've often been puzzled by the international and well-attended protests against the Church of Scientology, led by the leaderless internet group known as Anonymous since early 2008. Why target this specific religion? Why engage in protests without public spokespeople? And why wear those silly Guy Fawkes masks?
Now I have an answer, at least to that last question.
On Saturday, September 19, around 12:30pm AST, a small group met for a routine Scientology protest in Halifax in a vacant lot across ...

The Post editorial board on Britain's censorship of a Scientology protest sign: A defeat for free expression — National Post

Marni Soupcoff Source:
National Post It may be one thing for freedom of expression to be an object of controversy in Canada — which is, after all, a somewhat tenuous experiment in democracy and federalism, one whose final shape and outcome may yet remain to be determined — but it is quite another to see it tormented in Great Britain, the historical anchor of most of the liberties we take for granted. When Britain injures what the rest of regard as British principles, it is a ...

National Post The truth about Scientology
Yvette Shank, National Post
Published: Monday, March 03, 2008
Jonathan Kay's article on Scientology and its founder L. Ron Hubbard ("In fear of Xenu," Jan. 18.) certainly didn't give the picture of the religion I have known for the past 40 years. From a very young age I found myself asking many questions: Who am I? What am I? Where do I come from? How can I help my friends and family? And I finally found what ...

Torture, or just plain torque? 'Industry Of Death' Exhibition On Psychiatry Walks A Fine Line — National Post
Type: Press

Kevin Libin Source:
National Post EDMONTON -With a name like "Psychiatry: Industry of Death," visitors to the travelling exhibition in Edmonton likely understand they are not about to get a particularly measured perspective of the mental health profession. What they might not be prepared for is a fright show of the alleged "criminal practices" and "brutalities" of psychiatry, the cause, apparently, of history's vilest atrocities.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer We must: A) stop the killing in El Salvador, B) stop censorship of the arts, C) reform the Internal Revenue Service, and D) provide housing for AIDS victims. It was all of the above yesterday at the Federal Office Building, where the first day of spring was greeted by more than 100 people rallying for various causes. It made for a curious melange of symbolism and rhetoric. There were the crude wooden crosses to symbolize the victims of Salvadoran death squads, ...

Eugene H. Methvin Source:
Reader's Digest Eighteen months ago, the U.S.-based Church of Scientology launched a global—and unsuccessful—campaign to prevent publication of a Reader's Digest report called "Scientology: Anatomy of a Frightening Cult." The church engaged a detective agency to investigate the author, Digest Senior Editor Eugene H. Methvin. Digest offices in a half-dozen nations were picketed or bombarded with nuisance phone calls. In Denmark, South Africa and Australia, the church sued unsuccessfully to prevent publication. In the months since the article appeared, in May 1980, a ...
