This is a new year of bad press for the “Church” of Scientology. 2015 starts out with a BANG which includes a documentary that will air on HBO based on the book by Pulitzer prize winning author Lawrence Wright – “Going Clear” by filmmaker Alex Gibney Oscar winning documentary director, the announcement of a forthcoming book by journalist Tony Ortega – “The Unbreakable Miss Lovely: How the Church of Scientology tried to destroy Paulette Cooper” and release of the play – “Disconnection” by playwright Allen Barton.

This is not January, this is BAMuary! ooo}
Like last year’s thread, I will track down and post a monthly list of bad press which will include written press as well as radio and TV press.
Tony Ortega’s Underground Bunker - http://tonyortega.org/ - is the leading force of researched reporting about the cult, Scientology front groups, cult members, and lawsuits. The monthly lists found here and on last year’s thread and are merely supplemental reading to Tony’s meticulously researched work. More and more journalists and gossip columnists are becoming less and less afraid of Co$ litigious past and ruthless approach to news reporters who dare to expose its crimes or merely say something bad about it. It is obvious the mainstream media is no longer timid to talk about the Co$, but will they continue to pussyfoot and discuss the eccentricities of Scientologist celebrities? OR will they grow bigger balls be eager to dig in and provide stories that depict how destructive the Co$ is to everything it touches? I hope to see a lot more of the latter this year.
If you missed last year’s thread, here is the link –

I compiled last year’s monthly list into one (78 page) PDF document that you can download and share –

This is not January, this is BAMuary! ooo}
Like last year’s thread, I will track down and post a monthly list of bad press which will include written press as well as radio and TV press.
Tony Ortega’s Underground Bunker - http://tonyortega.org/ - is the leading force of researched reporting about the cult, Scientology front groups, cult members, and lawsuits. The monthly lists found here and on last year’s thread and are merely supplemental reading to Tony’s meticulously researched work. More and more journalists and gossip columnists are becoming less and less afraid of Co$ litigious past and ruthless approach to news reporters who dare to expose its crimes or merely say something bad about it. It is obvious the mainstream media is no longer timid to talk about the Co$, but will they continue to pussyfoot and discuss the eccentricities of Scientologist celebrities? OR will they grow bigger balls be eager to dig in and provide stories that depict how destructive the Co$ is to everything it touches? I hope to see a lot more of the latter this year.
If you missed last year’s thread, here is the link –
http://forum.reachingforthetippingpoint.net/index.php/topic,12740.0.html
I compiled last year’s monthly list into one (78 page) PDF document that you can download and share –

Threatened and Harassed By the Church of Scientology
Paulette Cooper was harassed by the Church of Scientology after she wrote against Scientology. The Church of Scientology accused Cooper of making bomb threats, and the FBI investigation against her threatened to derail her career as a journalist. The bizarre persecution of Cooper by Scientology in 1973, and the government raid of the Church in 1977 that uncovered the conspiracy against her is shared by writer Tony Ortega in this excerpt from the Media Mayhem interview all about the Church of Scientology and Paulette Cooper.

Book by George White
Lucifer’s Bridge
“George was the first person to come out publicly and say that he had been in the small class of Scientologists who experienced original OT 8 on the cruise ship Freewinds in the summer of 1988 (and he had the certificate to prove it). And, more importantly, he had convincing testimony that he did receive, in fact, the controversial issue which has L. Ron Hubbard describing himself as the antichrist, and in which Hubbard calls Jesus a “lover of young boys.” Synopsis by Tony Ortega - http://tonyortega.org/2015/02/06/scientology-vs-the-mayor-the-full-gabe-cazares-interview-from-1997s-secret-lives/

e-Book by Jefferson Hawkins
Closing Minds
How does Scientology control its members? How does it convince them to avoid any negative information about Scientology? How does it persuade them not to look at critical information on the Internet, on TV, or in the press? How does it convince them to avoid or entirely disconnect from people who are critical of Scientology – even their close friends, their family members, or their own parents or children? All while loftily talking about “improving communication” and “searching for truth”? How can they compel otherwise intelligent people to live in an information bubble where they will only believe what Scientology tells them and refuse to look at any critical information? How do they convince ordinary people to donate huge amounts of money to the Church, far more than they can afford? How do they induce staff to work long and hard hours, endure deprivation and abuse, for little or no pay?”

Go behind the scenes of the compelling new HBO Documentary Film “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief,” which premiered at Sundance this year and will air on HBO March 16: Academy Award® winning writer and director Alex Gibney (“Taxi to the Dark Side”), Pulitzer Prize–winning author Lawrence Wright who wrote the book, and Oscar–winning writer–director–producer Paul Haggis, who appears in the film. “Going Clear” profiles former members of the church of Scientology, whose adherents include A–list Hollywood celebrities, shining a light on how the church cultivates true believers, including their experiences and what they are willing to do in the name of religion.

Scientology Scandals, Cover Ups + Threats with Tony Ortega & Paulette Cooper
Scientology documentary GOING CLEAR source Tony Ortega and journalist Paula Cooper expose the harassment and spying campaign that the Church of Scientology waged on Cooper following the publication of her 1971 book, THE SCANDAL OF SCIENTOLOGY. Ortega, whose recent book about Cooper and Scientology, THE UNBREAKABLE MISS LOVELY details the frame up and years-long persecution of her by L. Ron Hubbard and members of the church, lays out more of the mountain of dirt on the organization in this uncensored Media Mayhem interview, hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.

Growing up in the Church of Scientology
“Going Clear,” the recent documentary on Scientology, has brought the church a lot of unwanted attention recently. The film is a highly-critical look at the origins of Scientology and its current practices. It relies on recollections of members who have left the church to talk about what went on behind closed doors. But the movie didn’t cover what it was like to be born and grow up in the Church of Scientology. KCRW’s Press Play spoke with two such young people about what it was like to grow up Scientologist.

GOING CLEAR may have triggered Scientology to hack, spoof and spy on journalists and whistleblowers, and journalist Tony Ortega explains how the case against private investigator Eric Saldarriaga could be more than meets the eye in this interview. With Ortega himself the victim of underhanded maneuvers that seem to indicate the involvement of the Church of Scientology, we learn how the negative profile of the Church has been spiralling since GOING CLEAR is reaching new lows in this short discussion of the latest underhanded deeds that continue to raise questions about Miscavige and the church in this Media Mayhem interview, hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.

Josh Reeves on "Conspiracy-The Hollywood Files"
It was a hatchet job as expected but I'm not mad about it at all, it's TV! I'm now officially the guy that claimed Scientology killed Hoffman with no evidence to back it up and they cut out the part where I said it was possible they did but that the tactic used was more in line with how the CIA kill people and how they created scientology but of course they cut that out of it. Hey at least they spelled my name right and put my website on the screen! People will get the real story when my own film on Hollywood, The Spellcasters comes out. For the record, I never claimed Scientology killed Hoffman, this is why they never show a clip of me actually saying that because I didn't.

London Thinks – What Has Scientology Got To Hide?
The Church of Scientology has a problem with free speech, according to three speakers who have dared to question the Church’s self-certification of itself as a religion and the claim made by its apostles, Tom Cruise and John Travolta, that it is a force for good. N.B. We have contacted the London branch of the Church of Scientology to send a representative, but have not had a reply from them. We’ll have an open chair on stage if they change their mind. Streamed live on August 4, 2015.

The Church of Scientology has faced stern opposition from the Russian government, in relation to the organization being perceived as a money making cult, with Moscow courts taking a harsh position against David Miscavige’s group. How religious laws in Russia, and the unsympathetic court system are organizing to isolate, and ultimately, extinguish Scientology is explored with Scientology investigative journalist Jonny Jacobsen in the first part of our uncensored Media Mayhem discussion of Scientology in Europe, hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.

In this case the IRS gave the Cof$ it's tax exemption after the Supreme Court of the US had already said due to it's quid pro quo way of operating it was not entitled to an exemption. The IRS also violated the Constitution by favoring the Cof$ over other churches by allowing them to use fixed donations. Other churches would have their tax exemption revoked if they tried to do that. So in this case, I don't have a problem with "...going down that road."

I agree with you Big Beard.
The "Church" of Scientology engages in many illegal activities, fraud, child labor, human trafficking, etc. It hides under the guise of a religion, and freedom of religion is protected by the United States Constitution. IANAL... but I do understand there are different types of law; constitutional law, common law and statutory law.
The Co$ uses the United States justice system to wear down opponents. It is wealthy.
