Jonny Jacobsen, the British reporter in Paris who keeps us up on what’s going on over there, wanted us to know that French journalist Emmanuel Fansten has another fascinating piece about Scientology in the latest Libération, and that it intersects with a number of things Jonny himself has written for us or at his own website in the past.
Olivier Morice and Emmanuel Fansten are very important for the anti cult battle in France. Morice as a lawyer and Fansten as a writer and journalist. Do check out Fansten’s book (probably only available in French). And thanks to Jonny for his excellent writings and for staying on top of this,
The 'make it go right' and 'postulate' mindset does allow more latitude in business work than completely honest people would go. The $cieno mindset of multi level marketing and the hierarchy of OTness gives a lot of latitude to those selling snake oil or swamp land in New Jersey. The 'you be you' mindset is just an excuse for some to scam each other and any wogs that can be fleeced.
All hail Jonny Jacobsen and Emmanuel Fansten, they got dirty digging in the clam bed and cooked the criminal clams. Give props to Fansten's news paper, Libération for their support of his work. And give more props to L’Echo du Centre, the newspaper that outed Pincanon's latest 'business deal'. As that guy on the A-Team says, 'I love it when a plan comes together'. And thanks to some dogged (bark, bark) journalists and their employers, scams have been outed and fraud exposed.
Give the French legal system its due, they found the CO$ guilty of Fraud. Something that few other countries have had the ability to do.
As a die hard Scientologist for 46 years I understand that they will “never quit” unless they wake up and leave. Scientology is a virus and if a person allows it in to their system it is hard to remove. The only vaccine for this virus is the “truth”.
"Hard Sell" is one of the core unredeemable Hubbard regulation/policies which Scientology is not allowed to correct itself from committing.
"Disconnection" is probably the worst Hubbard extremist shunning regulation Scientologists are stuck with today.
Scientology is just a malign false religion. It's quackery is snipe hunting for Xenu's dumped body-thetans (invisible souls that infest our human body today unbeknownst to us, we have to learn we are full of them, as trained Scientologists eventually are taught and then believe).
Hubbard duped himself he was full of body-thetans, even to the bitter end of Hubbard's life.
Lawrence Wright's book's final chapter ought be re-read from time to time, to see the dismal state of mind Hubbard believed he was himself stuck in, at the end of Hubbard's life. ".....I failed......" Hubbard said straightforwardly to Sarge Pfauth, at the end of Hubbard's life.
But Hubbard didn't have the right mind to demolish his whole Scientology empire, which he ought to have, and undo the malign harm his Scientology empire has done to people's lives.
"Hard Sell" of L. Ron Hubbard, is still "on the books" and just recurs and recurs, to society's detriment.
"Hard Sell" Hubbard toxic constraining sales regulations, the Hubbard "Hard Sell" writings need a small book critiquing its history. It won't stop.
Hubbard's evil gets imprinted into Scientologists' heads, and it's condoned, and followers get punished by Scientology to continue the Hubbard nasty wrong ideas, and then society punishes the Scientologists, rightly, for the wrongs which the Hubbard ideas push.
Hubbard's bad ideas and Hubbard's regulations against changing those bad ideas, cause Scientologists a losing proposition life of society's backlash.

>>As we like to point out whenever we can, Scientology is officially a fraud in France.<<
Maybe it helps make Paris ideal.

I hope Cedric writes a HIT song, that becomes a classic, about the cult damage of groups like Scientology.
Some anthem level song, which can be widely applied to evil groups that turn their members into toxic idiots.
