SP Times - "Church of Scientology investigation gets worldwide response"

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

Hibbard hasn't been too fond of our protests. I think he just wants to keep the peace and will try to do so by turning a blind eye to Scientology.

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

Of course Hibbard hates our protests. We don't donate to his campaign or suck up to him.

Wasn't it BayNews9 that did the interview with Hibbard last year and tried to question him about the Anonymous protests against $cientology? He spun so hard and so fast to say absofuckinglutely nothing at all that I thought his head was going to disengage from his neck.

I hope Hibbard likes driving through downtown Clearwater and seeing the ugly-assed high-rise sitting where the historical Calvary Baptist Church used to stand. I hope that someday it comes out whether Hibbard was instrumental in that beautiful old church being razed for a fucking highrise because Hibbard is a member of Calvary Baptist and he is buddy-buddy with the cult when it suits his purposes.

My favorite comment so far is by Dave from Tampa:

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

The "somebody else's problem field" as been switched on.

If they don't want to see it then they will not see it.

^^THIS^^

CW's you have targets to harpoon!

Again my condonlensces for being surrounded by such corrupt fucktards.

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

Yeah. Good thing the rest of us have honest, upstanding politicians.

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

I'm not particularly shocked that people who have businesses or interests in downtown Clearwater would be reluctant to say bad things about Scientology. If they had spoken anonymously, their responses would have been different, and possibly full of expletives.

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

As far as harpoons are concerned, keep in mind that Clearwater is very dependent on tourist bucks. The fact that you live elsewhere and don't vote locally is not as important as it would be for most local politicians. Even if you live overseas your opinion of the city is listened to.

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

Seems like a lot of shoulder shrugging.

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

so when miscavige finally breaks out the kool-aid, i think our denouement should be picketing all the politicians and officials who either actively supported the cult or looked the other way to avoid losing out on campaign contributions. the theme should be: "look who's got blood on their hands!"

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

Clearwater and Los Angeles will be the most difficult places to pry their presence away from, and the reason is mostly because of the politicians they attract in those areas, with their expensive parties, smiling faces, and tons of money to pay off the ones who aren't already convinced by their expensive parties and smiling faces. And it's a well-known fact that Los Angeles is chock full of corrupt politicians & police, even more so than Clearwater.

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

Not a big surprise for politicians who consistently kiss Scientology's ass so their members - residents of Clearwater - will vote for them in re-election campaigns.

Privately, most think Scientology sucks; publicly, it's about consistently getting their vote and campaign dollars.

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

Re: bolded, you're joking right?

Also I never liked Bilirakis...

Do us a favor and differentiate between our politicians and our police, and leave the latter group out of the corruption accusations.

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

Wasn't it Hibbard who said if the Super Power Building gets finished, the city may forget about the back taxes owed by COS? Or am I mitaken?

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

I only put Hibbard in the good guy list cause of what he said this one time. It was context of the article. I know hes a cult shill, I shoulda added more question marks.

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

one interesting comment to the article:

Once Mr Miscavige has been allowed to have his interview with the Times, this whole story will just go away and flocks of people will send their children to join the Church. Three Cheers for Mr Miscavige.

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

Re: SPTimes July 9 - followup reactions to beating allegations

The comments section on this is full of awesome Scilon defense from one guy "Mike" from LA.

Someone, probably from here, "Steve" is making him define the Sea Org and if its work or volunteer. Mike came back with an awesome quote:
