So, it's that Amanda, eh? Small world, innit?

Is this cheap'n'sleazy tale factual? If Amanda Keller is indeed a Sea Org ensign, would she be working as a cocktail waitress and "outcall lingerie model", and hanging out with obnoxious Arab terrorists who publicly denigrate American women? I see ethics hanging "out" all over the place here!

On second reading, I don't know what I see here, but it doesn't look pretty.

Tigger, thanks for posting this link. I found it very interesting.

But, I didn't think someone in Sea Org could be off on their own, or moonlight in an escort service- I wonder if any other source confirms that Amanda Kelly is/was a scientologist, or SO.

It's important to recognize that at this point this is speculation. It might be true and well worth pursuing, but let's not go off the deep end on this issue.

Help to clarify the issue, but don't promote it until it's demonstrated as reasonable fact.

Critics could look really stupid (and haplessly vicious and exploitative) over this one. Much like the Co$ sending in volunteer ministers after the 9/11 tragedy.

My sincere advice: Drop it entirely on a public statement basis until you know it as a well documented fact. Don't give the Co$ unnecessary leverage.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that Mo' Atta's girlfriend Amanda Keller is the same Amanda Keller who has been identified as a Scientologist (by her father):

Quote:
(1) The web 'article' that makes the Atta - Amanda association generates some interest by other, more well established and reputable and respected investigative journalists like those from "Current Affair", "Extra!", and "The National Inquirer".

(2) These journalists interview the neighbors and other locals who verify that Atta and Amanda were an item. For added spice, Amanda's friends at the escort agency escort are interviewed incognito in dark rooms and with the pixelated faces and electronically distorted voices.

(3) Then, a Scientology spokesbeing is shown denying that Amanda was a Scientologist at the time (last year), adding that she had been one, but was expelled long ago for unethical behavior. All further questions are met with a stern: "We don't comment on our present or past parishioners".

(4) End of story.

Do we really expect people to get upset about a Scientology connections here or there (e.g., Tom Padgett) when nobody gave a frying fluck over Snow White, Lisa McPherson, Reed Slatkin, and all of the others? I mean, we're talking about a country that allowed Oliver North to set up a secret Government in the basement of the White House!

First the term would have to be X - sea org member cause living in Venice FL working as a lingerie model doesn't exacly fit with the daily activities of the c-org, however she could have been on/off-lines as a Scientologist and being an X c-org at the same time.

Could the identity of Amanda not easily be established by comparing photo's of the two alledged Amanda's ? If she was a model, there would have been many photo's of her out there.

I am sure the father of the sea-org member would also be willing to provide photo's of his daughter, so I fail to see the problem.

It would make interesting material for the critics to discuss on a.r.s. but only if a postive ID could be made, even then one needs to keep in mind that Amanda is probably a victim of unfortunate curcumstances, just like so many X-scieno's.

The editor of Mad Cow Morning News seems to beleive that Steve Keller's daughter hooked up with terrorist Mohammed Atta, but what the heck is Mad Cow News and how credible is the news source? Does any other media source conform this? How much has the SP Times published on Atta's activities in Florida?

There's a shot of Steve Keller and his daughter at http://www.ecentral.com/members/skeller/
Mad Cow doesn't have a picture of the bleached blonde lingere module that Atta allegedly shacked up with.

The Amanda Keller that Mo Atta practiced his landings on (or maybe she needed to fly by intruments?) is in the phone book. Why doesn't someone call her up and ask her (politely) if she uses an e-meter as a prop when she works as an 'escort'?

If this story is credible, we will know it sooner rather than later when Amanda starts making her appearances on the tabloid TV shows, on Rikki Lake, and on a bearskin rug in the centerfold of Hustler.

Well the picture of Amanda the cult girl is on the web like Mike de Wolf pointed out, so now all we need is a picture of Amanda the lingerie model, is that so hard to do ? I live in Europe so I am farther away from the action (bad excuse) so could someone here get his smarts together and come up with a pic of Amanda the Scientology lingerie hooker ? Even tho I hope the story has credibility I'm also afraid we may have become victimized by some sort of 2 bit tabloid rag full of BS..

Well, I did a search for "Amanda Keller" on the web and all I found was

1) The "Dear Amanda" page
2) A radio/TV personality in Australia
3) Geneology sites listing women who lived 50-100 years ago.
4) A pharmacology student in Arizona (??) - no picture
5) A student playwrite (??) - no picture
6) A girl who met her soulmate in Mississippi in 1997
7) A Chinese girl adopted to an American Family

But no models, stripers or anyone like that with that name.

Mike
