You’re all a bunch of morons. He didn’t make her look crazy, she made herself look crazy in her youtube video then the rest of you crazies demanded he interview her which he did and it turns out she really is crazy now you’ve all got your panties in a bunch.

Seriously, get a life.

Scientology FTW

“Oh but it was a hard hitting piece with tough questions that i asked an anonymous person as a (insert lousy defence of lack of research here)”

Really how interesting, now show me the research. I want to know why the anonymous are interested in protesting scientology, not in a ‘journalist’ doing his best to make a protester look crazy. Why not talk to someone who has been protesting scientology a long time as well now. I’m sure they could give you very clear examples of exactly what kind of harrassment Scientology is capable of. Why not look for Paulette Cooper’s story aka operation freakout and flesh out your ‘gee aren’t i clever to make a protester look nutty’ angle.’ Or you could always google operation snow white or normandy. Hey you want to talk to people who have grown up in scientology and know it better than you or i ever will, talk to Jenna Miscaviege Hill on exscientologykids. Or astra woodcroft on the same site. Go to enturbulation as well, there are a ton of survivor stories. Or you could just go to xenu(dot)net and look at the link in the care package called ‘what scientology doesn’t want you to know.’

FYI, recieveing three complaints about you at your place of employment before you have even started working there is fishy at best, could be an immature prank but it could also be fairgame. Scientology has been known to do this kind of stuff and worse, a moment of research would have revealed this. There are recorded incidences of this. There are two court cases in california alone where they have tried to get fair game constitutionally protected under the freedom of religion. The most notable one is wollersheim vs. Scientology. You can find links to these court documents on pretty much any website regarding courtroom since they are public. You can also find links on almost any critics page.

Really the most i can say is that i am dissappointed in this article. If you want to make a protestor look nuts go for it but call it “Gee look at how clever i am” and put a big warning on it if you decide to just to cut and paste so that they will seem crazier than cruise. If you want to justify your existence why not write an article on scientology after you have thoroughly researched it both on the scientology approved webpages as well as on the critics pages. And by thoroughly research it i mean thoroughly research it. Don’t just glance at a page and call it a day. Documents, pictures, videos, court statments and rulings the whole nine yards. That is what you need to do to justify your existence.

On the other hand, Fair Game is real and I would hope the reporter will take the time to learn more. Just Google Scientology and Fair Game.

Or visit Xenu.net

I don’t even care about the bad coverage for Anonymous that came from this article, your “journalism” is a disgrace in and of itself. Way to be proud of misinforming the public, ya jerk.

If you see any factual errors in my article, I would be happy to alert my editor so the paper can run a correction. But the name of the column is “Justify your existence,” and the entire point is to ask tough questions of your subject.

I’m sorry you don’t think the article gave enough background on the evils of the Church of Scientology, but that wasn’t the point of it.

Gatzette letters———————————————————————————————————-
I was shocked and embarassed for the Gazette after reading Steve Fagay’s article on your website. Living in NYC for the year I have counted on the Gazette to keep me in touch with the events of home but this article has made me question my decision. Mr. Fagay attempted to paint an anonymous protester as either crazy or bigoted in his article “Campaign of harassment or just a wild imagination” and his interview was so slanted my neck had a crick in it by the end. While there may well have been nothing to this womans particular claims his use of phrases such as “She’s been protesting against the Church of Scientology, and now she thinks its members are out to get her” while never providing the information that Scientology is famous for illegal means of silencing its critics is down right dishonest. I believe that to this day the largest Canadian libel award ever paid was by Scientology in the case Hill v. Church of Scientology of Toronto. There are numerous other examples of their harrasment of critics documented in such reputable media as Times Magazine, CNN and the BBC. As a designer with her morning coffee I was able to gather this info in less than an hour, as a journalist Mr.Fagay’s evident bias or laziness has done a disservice to both your readers and your reputation.

The FBI raids were actually for a different reason - the largest domestic infiltration of the US Government in history was carried out by Scientologists in their “Operation Snow White”. Eleven high-level Scientologists were convicted. Kendrick L. Moxon was named as an unindicted co-conspirator and he submitted fake handwriting samples in response to a Grand Jury subpoena, yet he is still working today as Scientology’s lead in-house attorney.

There are two sides to Scientology, you see. There is the rank-and-file public Scientologist who just does a few courses ocassionally, then there is the staff and Sea Org who are deeper in. The Office of Special Affairs is the division responsible for public relations as well as the black ops - the modern day equivalent of Operation Snow White and Operation Freakout. I think they are more careful nowadays, and not as quick to engage in illegal activities. But they come close.

You want to talk to someone about fair game? Drop me a line. Although I am in sunny California, this is a world wide issue. This kind of thing has happened to Scientology critics worldwide, and continues to this day.

This day, Aug. 16, Anonymous returns to the streets for another global picket.
We will be handing out information, dancing, and enjoying cake.

Expect us!

An intresting thing about $cientology in Canada though.
It actually does not have a Religious status here, nor does it meet the legal requirements to get one. Though it has somehow aquired a sort of charitable status along with a special religious status that differs from others.

Keep to the facts, there is no reason to question people’s intelligence, make fun of their names or sexuality. You aren’t going to win much support like this.

Hubbard is also on record for racist statements such as “The problem with China, see, is there is too many chinks” further comments include that all people of African-American decent belong in cotton fields.

Fagstein please do some research and uncover the truth about this vicious cult. Read the countless stories about critics being harassed tormented and sued just to intimidate them. Read about how scientology lead the largest infiltration of the Canadian and USA governments. (Operation Snow-White, wikipedia, other sources)

You’ll feel a little silly after you do. Fair game is unfair, and it HURTS people. But, that’s their “religion”. It simply causes damage.
