WASHINGTON — The Church of Scientology of California had big plans for the unsuspecting community of Clearwater when it arrived there in November 1975. In essence, the sect wanted to control the city's politicians, media and religious groups. To that end, the Scientologists have evidently failed. Hardly any Clearwater resident is not skeptical of the sect’s proclaimed goals and "reforrn" activities. Nevertheless, the church has purchased $8 million in Clearwater buildings and land and continues to work for the potential to ...

CLEARWATER — Church of Scientology documents released Thursday that outline the Scientologists' intention to control or "take over" the city left local government officials wondering Friday how the group planned to reach that goal — and what it should do about it.

Richey. "We have to find out what the ...

The two-story brick building at N. Ballenger Hwy. and Sloan St. looks as if it should house an insurance agency or doctor's office. It is a well-built, well-kept structure. Inside, quality furniture and a quiet, professional greeting welcome the visitor. But this building houses a center related to a church that is under fire from federal agencies. Early this month, the FBI used crowbars and sledgehammers to enter offices of the Church of Scientology in Hollywood and Washington, D.C. Agents were ...

WASHINGTON — After doggedly filing more than 150 Freedom of Information Act requests for documents, members of the Church of Scientology have obtained thousands of government papers that had been hidden in files of offices ranging from the Central Intelligence Agency to the Labor Department.

Process R2-45 – An Inside Joke Or The Ultimate Retribution? — Clearwater Sun (Florida)
Type: Press
Source: Clearwater Sun (Florida)
Through "auditing" (counseling), a Scientologist strives to separate the spirit from the body. The most mysterious — and potentially most macabre — auditing process is R2-45. Though a Scientology spokesman says it should not be taken seriously, auditing process R2-45 is a special order directing scientologists to shoot disruptive foes. John McLean, a former Scientologist, said he saw the order while a member and believed that is what it meant. His mother Nan, also a former Scientologist, said she was told ...

SCIENTOLOGY chiefs are staging an all-out drive to get new British recruits—despite Government action to curb the "harmful" cult. So far the chief effect of the Government clampdown is to restrict foreign students going to the "mind-training" cult's world HQ at St. Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex. Under existing law no action can be taken to ban British Scientologists, although Health minister Kenneth Robinson has promised to "consider other measures should they prove necessary." This is small comfort to the residents ...

Push for recruits L. Ron Hubbard, chief of the discredited Scientology cult, is pushing as hard as ever for recruits in Sydney. So far, no action has been taken to suppress the cult's activities in New South Wales. Scientology was banned in Victoria in 1965 after a royal commissioner reported that its practice was a medical, moral and social threat to the community. The inquiry, which lasted 17 months, found the techniques and principles of Scientology "perverted, debased and harmful." It ...
