J. Swift did a thread way back in 2006 that was entitled,
What Will Happen on July 8th?. In that thread he claimed that July 8th is the Church of Scientology's worst day and gave many examples.
July 8, 2012 was certainly one of the worst days ever for the Church of Scientology as it found itself trapped in the peak intensity of a white-hot global media firestorm that it has never experienced:* My son Alexander Jentzsch had died on July 3rd. The Church hid his death from me, even while his body lay in the morgue day after day and Donatella of Office of Special Affairs Intelligence Division was furiously calling the Evans several times a day. "A Private family matter" indeed! Phone Records ! Phone Records ! Voice Mail ! Voice Mail, come on OSA digital fingerprints all over the place.......this is not 1996 Lisa Mcpherson days of altering history and cover up.
If Alexander's death was a drug overdose, then fine, just do not pretend it to be a "Private Family matter" when OSA controlled and ran the entire scene. Why the deception ?
With a special streak of vindictiveness Donatella and her seniors and did not allow me one last look. I was referred to "Office of special Affairs" (OSA) the Intelligence/Media/Legal Black bag operation of the "Church."
Maureen and Jeff Evans, the parents of Andrea Jentzsch referred me to Office of Special Affairs on all questions re the death of my son. OSA deeply embroiled itself in my son's death.
The media was covering Alexander's death and the letter I sent to 10,000 Scientologists about the facts.
On July 8, 2012 the Daily Mail online covered the story of Alexander for its 4.3 million readers.* Katie Holmes very publicly divorced Tom Cruise in order to protect Suri from Scientology. They signed a settlement on July 8.
* The entire Dror Mission publicly left the Church on July 4 and its e-mail explaining why was in wide global circulation on July 8th.
* Tony Ortega posted about the upcoming movie "The Master" on July 8.
* Rubert Murdoch had tweeted on July 1, 2012 that Scientology was an evil and creepy cult. This "tweet heard round the world" gave everyone in Murdoch's media empire permission to do stories on the cult.
*
Today - Behind the walls of Scientology featuring Jeff Hawkins and Nancy Many aired on July 8, 2012.
Google "Scientology July 8, 2012" and you can see the media firestorm that occurred. The Church of Scientology is great at creating enemies and making its existing enemies even more devoted to exposing the lies, crimes, and deception of the cult.
