For The Record – Larry Brennan Recent Communication

[SME]

In order to make this public, I am reposting something I just posted at www.enturbulation.org as follows:

Over a year and a half ago I contacted organized scientology through my attorney Barry Van Sickle and told them I wanted all the money I ever gave them back.

In the months that followed that request there has been some back and forth which on my part mostly involved myself giving heartfelt feelings of the wrongs they have committed against myself, my family and many others.

Their replies have been though one of their attorneys refusing to speak of even one wrong by Miscavige or organized scientology and taking up not even one grievance listed. This attorney has been a very senior attorney for scientology and also has represented David Miscavige personally.

Instead of addressing my points, they demanded that I quit all my postings about organized scientology and Miscavige including about the corporate frauds, beatings and the like. They have threatened me and accused me of being a criminal for daring to speak out. They have been trying to silence me for many months now.

After I got a threatening memo from their attorney in April of 2007, I decided to write to Miscavige personally and sent it via that attorney. A very small part of my letter to Miscavige in April 2007 is covered in the following few quotes from it:

1) “I object most deeply to Mr. Drescher’s characterization of my actions as somehow being a breach of my fiduciary duty.

Why Mr. Drescher thinks I owe you a fiduciary duty is a mystery to me. As far as I know my duty is to tell the truth, which I will do and that, not any breach of fiduciary duty, is what you fear”. ;

2) “Mr. Drescher’s letter is nothing more than an attempt to silence me and of course the unstated force behind the threats being the legal and unscrupulous might of an abusive, criminal organization that has abused countless others in the past”. ;

3) “In reading through depositions you have made in different court cases and in reading through materials you have sent to the IRS, I knew first hand that you had lied and perjured yourself to either stop those whom you perceived to be enemies or to gain legal advantages such as federal tax exempt status”. (examples were then given in the letter);

4) “I have seen you punch, slap and choke others who were top church management when you were supposed to be in ASI and not involved with the running of the church. I have been on the receiving end of your threats if more money was not funneled to Hubbard that week, including such things as threatened strangulation against myself.

I know you to be one who has lied in courts, to governments and others about such things and I know you to be an abusive person who has beaten and humiliated many others.

And, I am NOT threatening you with exposure of all this if you do not pay me back funds you extorted out of me. I AM exposing you!”;

5) “The above are just a very few points of all the abuse, lies and such that you have put me and others though. I now know that my story is a common one and it was not me that was somehow “always wrong” as you try to make it seem.

I am addressing this letter to you as I was asked for a letter by Mr. Drescher and as I know that you run the ultimate control of all the organizations of scientology, including all to whom I have paid money. I know those organizations to be nothing more than your alter ego and you use them to continue with your frauds, lies and abuses”.


Their attorney tried to be cute and pretend he didn’t read it after returning it to my attorney, opened, some nine days after he received it. Again I got threatened. And I responded with another letter directly to Miscavige with a copy to that attorney.

In that letter I addressed their CVB (“Claims Verification Board”) policies as follows:

“I believe that the CVB policies are fraudulent, designed to harass and a product of false advertising and as such cannot follow such steps. Sadly, I have a feeling that Mr. Drescher already has a copy of a posting I made on the subject of scientology’s “refund” policies being misleading, fraudulent and based on false advertising and misleading claims to governments. So I will not bore you with those thoughts again”.

BTW, here is a link to that posting I made about the CVB referred to above:

http://tinyurl.com/27hgy7

Since that time all that has happened is that I have continued to tell the truth while they refuse to reform or address any grievance whatsoever.

Given my recent affidavit and work with government and other contacts, I am expecting them to come at me applying fair game in full and lying about what I have told them I wanted from them.

Therefore, I want to make the above and something else public. My attorney this week emailed their attorney with my specific proposal for a resolution of all matters between myself and organized scientology, in effect a truce between us. Here are my exact demands as given to them this week by my attorney Barry Van Sickle on my behalf:

“here is what Mr. Brennan proposes.
1. He will receive a signed letter from David Miscavige acknowledging that what Mr. Brennan has said about organized Scientology is substantially true. Mr. Miscavige may add language presenting a commitment to stop abuses of human rights, fair game, and disconnection policies in the future.
2. The church will apologize to all members who have been assaulted or battered by management.
3. Mr. Brennan will be allowed to meet and speak freely with all held in the RPF.
4. Mr. Brennan will receive $_______ in consideration of funds previously paid to various church groups and related considerations. (note: the amount listed is the total of what I have paid them as a “public scientologist” with a small percentage of interest added)
5. The criminal charges brought against any Anonymous members must be dropped”.

I know most people reading the above proposal will deem it impossible in that Miscavige would never agree. To that I say you should have seen the one I wanted to send that involved his resignation and public apology on national TV for all his abuses! Perhaps not one bit of what I asked for above will ever be granted but it is righteous and needed to be said directly to them by somebody anyway.
I have now posted the above and it is now public. No matter what happens to me from this point forward and no matter what organized scientology may do to apply fair game, this is now on the record.
I would like to give a big “thank you” to every single person who is helping to expose the crimes, lies and/or abuses of organized scientology and David Miscavige.

Mr Brennan,

You have taken the fight to $cientology in a more forceful manner than anyone I've read about. It's daring, courageous, and exciting. Godspeed!

Mr Brennan. You are a giant among men. Your truth WILL prevail. DM fiddles as $cientology burns.

Well here's one more who read it and agree, it had to be said.

Big props to you for having the balls of titanium to say it.

Don't give up!

[J. Swift]

Mr. Brennan, I salute you for your efforts and wish you godspeed. This is an ancient form of blessing that asks the gods to put the mighty winds to your sails and give you the power and navigational skills needed to complete your journey. It is powerful to have the gods' speed invoked on your behalf and it is my honor to serve you by asking the gods to favor you.

I tell you that Scientology fears you or they would not be listening to you. I tell you from my own experience and that of my fellows in this battle that OSA and RTC are desperately phishing, pinging, and trolling in a largely futile attempt to discover how much we really know. Scientology callously declared and threw people out onto the streets for decades and now it is all coming back to haunt them. All of these people are adding pieces to the puzzle and now more is known about Scientology than ever. This knowledge is being routed uplines to power officials who can act on the data.

OSA and RTC are desperately trying to connect dots and yet they cannot. We are truly everywhere and know far more than they can imagine. Each new meeting out here forges yet another steel link in the vast matrix that has encircled Scientology and is systematically cutting off all of its options and instantly exposing each of its lies as it is uttered. We easily showed Tommy Davis to be a liar on the internet in less than five minutes after he finished his recent interview with CNN.

We critics have gods' speed to our back as we transit the high seas. Scientology, however, is marooned and hopelessly adrift in the doldrums of its own ponderous lies and failures. All of those expensive lawyers and PR experts are but galley slaves manning oars that barely move the rusting hulk that is Scientology.

*****
IAS money flows are high on the list of subjects under examination.

David Miscavige is high on the list of persons under examination.

Scientology: We are winning and you are losing. Spend millions of dollars on Google ads and someone on our side will make one single video that will render your ads useless. COB might as well be flushing IAS monies down the toilet.

The Karmic Vortex continues on its relentless and inexorable path to dismantle Scientology.

Where will the Vortex touch down next Scientology? It will touch down next in an area that you failed to handle.

After almost 10 years of CULT Watch*, I again was amazed by your letter, Larry. This CULT never seems to stop shocking and amazing the public in a very negative way.
I have put both your Declaration and the above post on my website, offering more than 200 visitors daily the opportunity to inform themselves about the CULT.

A very powerful letter and fantastic work Mr. Brennan!!!


J. Swift's assessment is right and the flow of the universe is on your side!

It is amazing that now matter how much the world shows scientology that the jig is up that they go on with business as usual!

Just shows how much the cult of scientology is out of the loop with reality!

Mr. Brennan,

Hit them hard man! It sounds like if they fair game you, they are in for a world of hurt and bad PR.

I agree.

Thank you, Larry. This takes a lot of cojones.

[MAKE IT GO LEFT]

Good job on taking it to them.
My wife and I went through a similar fight years ago , granted we didn't get in DM's face. But it needs to be done and I am pleased to see that you have stepped up and taken it to the man behind the curtain.
The only weapon the Corporation has is fear, so as long as you don't fear them they are powerless.
Keep up the good fight and I hope you get back every penny.

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex
HCO INFORMATION LETTER OF 13 APRIL 1961
BPI
TERROR STALKS
[...]

Until May, 1950 I received only favorable publicity—on
expeditions or comings or goings. In May 1950 there was
a concerted shriek from people who (a) had not read the
books and (b) who knew nothing bad about me. These
howls came from both conservative and liberal groups
alike—the AMA—the commies, the Socialists, the Roman
Catholics.

Thus we can rule the following facts out of all the protests
and "bad publicity" of the past eleven years:

1. That it stems from any knowledge of the subject;
2. That it is a concerted effort by any one group; and
3. That it is based on any knowledge of myself.

[...]

And now let us look further:

6. Many truly dangerous practices have risen up amongst
man such as a new Indian version of whirling dervishism
now rampant in England;
7. Brainwashing was introduced in the past eleven years
by the Russians;
8. A dozen violent and harmful psychiatric treatments
have been developed.

And no sustained protest has continued to be made in the
press against these. Indeed the US government adopted
brainwashing calmly and the British government and
people of the US have accepted new psychiatric treatments,
organizations and propaganda without real protest.

Looking at all these things, then it would seem that protests
against Dianetics and Scientology do not stem from a
knowledge of myself, they do not stem from a knowledge
of the substance of the work, they do not stem from
conservative or liberal groups and they are not a protest
against philosophy, philosophers, or evil practices, and they
are not an effort to protect the public.

If you look this over with cold dispassion, examine it
thoroughly from the light of the facts, only one explanation
seems to remain.

They are terrified of our postulates!

This analysis places a fantastic dissemination weapon in our
hands. The terror in the protest is obvious since it is
misemotional and is not based on
confronted facts.

To any attack by anyone, we can reply, "Why are you
terrified of Scientology?" or "Why are you afraid of
Hubbard?" or "Why are you frightened of Scientologists?"
For plainly this is the case. People don't even know we
reach for withholds— yet terror! Protest! Screams!

Now I'll admit to having plied philosophy before within the
whole track memory of Earth dwellers. Harm did not result.
But evil was destroyed. And I'll admit that evil men sense
the germs of their own destruction.

[...]

But, of this we are certain, We inspire terror in some men.
"Why are you terrified of Scientology?" is the best answer,
it as-ises the condition.

[...]

I realize some people are. My point is, that is where they get there power. Too many of us have given them our minds and souls, I for one am not giving them any position of power over me. They have taken too much already. This is where it stops.
