Aaron Saxton: Speech Vids + Transcripts

This thread is for transcriptions of the protest speeches of Aaron Saxton.

Aaron Saxton's recorded interviews with transcripts can be found here: http://forums.whyweprotest.net/318-...aron-saxton-interview-vids-transcripts-57045/

The transcript for his December 19, 2009 remarks still needs some [[problem spots]] fixed.

There is also a transcript of a recording of his remarks from January 16, 2010. The January 16 recording has cuts and might not be his full remarks. I can't find a longer version of this (yet?).

I thought there were other protest appearances by Aaron Saxton, but so far I fail at finding any other recordings, so anyone who knows of them please post them.

Also please check these for errors and any suggestions you might have.

Aaron Saxton's Speech to the Sea Org
December 19, 2009
Sydney, Australia

[ame=http://www.vimeo.com/8277124]Aaron Saxton speech to Sea Org - Sydney Dec 19, 2009 on Vimeo[/ame]

AS: Damn right. Cult, let's define a cult. A cult. A religious group or organization/set of beliefs, headed by a charismatic leader, with unorthodox ritual. I think we've got that here, folks. I saw Star Trek 6 the other day 'cause I like Star Trek and I thought to myself - I thought to myself "My god, I don't know if I want to be in Star Trek or the Sea Org." I mean, on one hand we have the offer of the Sea Org, which is we're going to run around the galaxy and save my fellow man, or we've got Star Trek and we can go around blowing the shit out of Klingons. And I thought to myself "which one do I prefer?" And then I thought "no, Star Trek's got cooler uniforms." And that was the deciding factor. We have a critic, folks. [1:00]

[Speech halts briefly as someone pours liquid from the building above onto the protestors. Another protestor takes the microphone to chastise the liquid-pourers.]

AS: Scientologists, you're entitled to believe what you want to believe but why are you supporting an organization that has a Nazi regime? Uniforms, ranks, ratings, berthings, the inability to see their own families. If you are getting any betterment out of Scientology it is at the expense of allowing Sea Org members to be treated like slaves. And they are slaves. The average Sea Org member is paid fifty cents an hour. Sea Org members, we're not against you and we're not against your beliefs. We're against the actions. You're entitled to believe what you want to believe but the actions speak for themselves. How many of you in there have been able to contact your family [2:00] at free will without your Ethics Office marching in to see what's going on?

Wake up! Wake up now and start talking and start asking questions. There's no democracy in that building; you're told what you're told and you're told what to believe and you do not question. Have the courage! Look at your leaders; they're afraid to come out and stand out in front of one man. One man stands here and there's a hundred people in there that can't come out here and talk. If you want to confront Suppression and shatter it and you call me a Suppressive Person then stand out here right now and shatter me.

But we can't do that, because Scientology policy says "Use any methods to harass a critic of Scientology." Why? Why are they willing to spend so much money on a private investigator [3:00 ] to visit my mother? And I beg you in there, right now, to have the balls and the courage to go ask your Ethics officer to talk to the Office of Special Affairs and ask is it not true that private investigators, in the last thirty days, were sent to my mother in New Zealand to harass and intimidate her.

All of you in there believe that Religious Technology Center is in charge. They're not telling you the truth. There's an organization called the Church of Spiritual Technology, and they own the trademarks [2:00] to Scientology. They own the rights. They're above David Miscavige. Did you know that the Deputy Commissioner of the IRS is a trustee? And he owns the trademarks, not Religious Technology Center... Deputy Commissioner of the IRS receives, every year, millions of dollars.

I don't remember hearing about this little arrangement before. If it's true, it certainly answers the question about the tax exemption.

I know I'd like to learn more. Aaron, can you say more? Does the Deputy Commissioner put the money in his own personal bank account? I can't imagine it goes to the IRS, because that would essentially be paying taxes. Are there any dox?

Thanks, greebly.

To put my question more clearly, if Meade Emory, who no longer works for the IRS, is the person who's on the CST board, that's different from a current IRS official. And that's what I thought Aaron meant. Also, Emory was an Assistant to the Deputy Commissioner. That's an important difference.

For Emory to serve on the CST is very bad, and it looks extremely fishy, but it's not the same thing as having a current employee of the IRS on the board of the CST. That would be -- well, close to unthinkable.

But so many unthinkable things occur every day in Scilon-world that I wondered.

I also wasn't completely aware of the fact that many Scilons think RTC is in charge of the trademarks. I thought everyone knew that's it's all about the CST. But then, Scilons don't get to read Larry Brennan.
