The RPF and Human Rights Issues
Contrary to the judgements of some social scientists, the brainwashing term has validity in the discourse of politics and legal debates, in this case about human rights. Without question the RPFs' operations violate a number of human rights statutes, which the United Nations proclaimed in both its 1948 resolution entitled The International Bill of Human Rights (United Nations, 1996b), and its 1996 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (United Nations, 1996a).

First, Scientology's procedures involving committees of evidence, sec checking, gang bang sec checking, and the two RPF programs almost certainly violate Articles 9 and 10 of the Bill. Article 9 protects people against "arbitrary arrest, detention or exile" while article 10 guarantees "a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his [sic] rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him" (United Nations, 1996b: 23).

Second, Scientology's invasive probing into people's thoughts through sec checking and obligatory confessions almost certainly violate Articles 18 and 19 of the Bill that deal with both "the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion" and "the right to freedom of opinion and expression" [(]United Nations, 1996b: 25).

Third, the various Scientology practices and procedures that restrict communication by RPF inmates probably violate Article 17 of the Bill, which states that "[n]o one shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his honour and reputation" (United Nations, 1996b: 49).

Fourth, the conditions of the RPF and the RPF's RPF almost certainly violate Article 7 of the Covenant, which discusses "the right of everyone to the enjoyment of just and favourable conditions of work…" (United Nations, 1996a: 38). The article specifically identifies fair wages, "[a] decent living for themselves and their families…, [s]afe and healthy working conditions…, and [r]est, leisure, and reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay…." (United Nations, 1996a: 38). Indeed, many Se Org jobs themselves may not meet these reasonable standards of propriety, safety, and fairness.

Fifth and finally, the extreme social psychological assaults and forced confessions that RPF and RPF's RPF inmates suffer almost certainly violate Article 12 of the Covenant, which recognizes "the right of everyone to enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health" (United Nations, 1996a: 18).

These and probably other serious human rights issues swirl around Scientology programs that have tax exemption and operate within the boundaries of the United States. With these serious issues in mind, the American human rights criticism of Germany's opposition to Scientology is the height of diplomatic arrogance. By granting Scientology tax exemption, the United States government is cooperating with an organization that appears to put citizens from around the world at significant mental health and medical risk (see Kent, 1996: 30-33). The human rights issues become even more significant with awareness that children and teenagers have been in various RPF programs, and still appear to be so.

Professor Stephen Kent, a professor at the University of Alberta, has emerged in recent years, as a traveling crusader against academic scholars of new religious movements who threaten the profession's integrity by, inter alia, appearing as expert witnesses on behalf of religious movements (see J. Gordon Melton's reply to Kent on this Web site).

Kent has recently appeared in Germany and Denmark to promote his crusade.

Anti-Scientologists have now posted on the Web his affidavit against the Church of Scientology in the well-known McPherson civil case. As far as I know, Kent has not objected to the posting, nor has he suggested that the document has not been faithfully reproduced. It is a document of 12.825 words (bibliography included). Of particular interest is the last paragraph:

"My curriculum vitae is attached to this report, and it lists all of my publications for the past ten years along with court cases in which I testified as an expert. For preparing this report I have been compensated at the rate of $200.00 per hour. I have worked approximately 55 hours on it. The exhibits that I plan to use in support of my opinion are included in my bibliography. "

Thus, the cost of the affidavit comes to $ 11,000. Readers familiar with Kent's private and public production will easily recognize that most of the affidavit is derived from Kent's previous works. At any rate, if Kent really thinks that experts in "cult" cases should make $ 11,000 for each 13.000-words document based on their previous works they write, he may be right after all and "academic integrity" may, in fact, be in serious danger.

Update on Stephen Kent's Expensive Affidavits: One Claims that Scientology Is a Religion, Cost of the Affidavit - $ 21,600
by Massimo Introvigne, http://www.cesnur.org/testi/kent1.htm

I have commented before on Prof. Stephen Kent's crusade to preserve integrity in the study of new religious movements against monetary corruptions, and the (corresponding?) increasingly high costs of his affidavits. He has of course argued that scholars executing affidavits on behalf of new religious movements also receive significant amounts of money. Obviously, this is not the point. These scholars do not tour the world to lecture against money-induced corruption of scholarly studies about new religious movements. Kent does, and it is not unfair to suggest that he should be judged by his own standards. For those who have heard Kent downplay the religious element in Scientology, a recommended reading is now Kent's affidavit in the Texas case EEOC v. I-20 Animal Medical Center, signed on November 9, 1999. In the case, EEOC charged that the use of Scientology-based training methods in the workplace violates Title VII since Scientology is a religion and not a purely secular training system. Supporting EEOC, Kent signed an affidavit to the effect that this is a case of "intrusion of religious concepts into the workplace" (p. 9). The courses contained "Scientology terms" that Kent now describes as being "purely religious". In short, the courses "contained the Scientology religion" (pp. 12-13). Quite correctly, Kent concludes that Scientology is a religion based mostly on its notions of thetan and of past lives. We applaud Kent's reliance (at least) on mainline scholarship on Scientology in order to come to the conclusion that what others (including persons Kent should know better than any other) have described as mere "treatment" is in fact "a religious practice" (p. 18). If somebody should accuse him of incoherence, Kent would of course answer that he always claimed that Scientology is also, but not exclusively a religion, a fine distinction probably lost to the audiences and courts that received Kent's previous wisdom. For the 19-pages affidavit, Kent "has been compensated at the rate of $ 200.00 per hour" and has "worked approximately 108 hours to date". That raises the cost of a Kent affidavit (although, admittedly, not a typical one) to $ 21,600.

"Indeed, while a study by Professor Stephen Kent [24] refers to the testimony of former members who claim knowledge of the programme (mostly during the mid 1980s, ten to fifteen years earlier than his study was written) and complain of degrading conditions and forcible confinement, we were unable to find any member of the RPF who remotely felt this way. On the contrary, every participant was told that he could leave the programme whenever he or she felt necessary, and these members attested that they were happy doing it."

from the "RPF Insider" messages sent out in 2004.
http://www.xenu-directory.net/critics/rpfinsider/rpfinsider6.html

What I wanted to say with this letter is something that I have had a lot of attention on for quite some time. Specifically there are two RPFers that are REALLY SICK AND NEED OF PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL CARE. I will take one at the time. The first RPFer is named Uwe Stuckenbrock. He arrived in the RPF here in PAC around 2001, but I believe he was on the RPF in Happy Valley before he came here. He is diagnosed with MS, Multiple Sclerosis, a disease that from what I understand (from having looked it up in the encyclopedia) there is no known cure for. Over the last 3 years, I have watched him getting worse and worse, though it seems that he is getting some of attention and care. When he arrived he had a hard time walking by himself, and this has deteriorated to the point of needing full time around the clock assistance. He always has one or two other RPFers caring for him, as at this point he cannot even make it to the bathroom by himself. He cannot walk at all now and he has to be taken around in a wheel chair. What I don't understand is that although he is being treated with a lot of natural foods and juices and vitamins and assists he's getting worse and worse. He does go to the local hospital sometimes with two people escorting him. He's getting checkups at LA County Hospital or somewhere, where the church is getting free service on Medicare, because we RPFers simply don't have any money for any medical bills. Not long ago, we had to prepare a separate room for him on the 2nd floor in the West wing, next to the stairwell towards Catalina Street. He had been in the hospital and in critical condition. When he came back he needed a cleaner, more private environment to recover. We spent several days gutting out a little closed off room (where the other guy was living that I'm going to tell you about, Mike Eves). The space was filthy and outrageously dusty, like it hadn't been cleaned for months. We repainted the entire room, put up new curtains, put in a new carpet, new cabinets, etc. Uwe was living in a little curtained off space in a room with about 50 other guys.(the room I told you about earlier, with the bunks crammed in and up to the ceiling.) It was decided that Uwe's condition was more critical than Mike's, so we were ordered to switch their places!! Mike was recovering from a very critical operation for cancer, and HAD ONE LUNG REMOVED! Having watched this scene going on for years, it is obvious to me that THESE TWO GUYS WILL NEVER MAKE IT OUT OF THE RPF ALIVE! It's technically impossible, as you have to "make someone else better" i.e. your twin, in order to graduate. These guys don't even have twins and are just fighting to stay alive. Come on! Uwe cannot even get up to go to the bathroom. What in hell is he doing in the RPF?? He cannot be getting enough professional care and attention and it's INHUMAN to watch what is going on. All the other RPFers are probably also outraged, but are suppressing their own feelings, in the hope of not missing their own chance to get out of here. I'm actually wondering how long these guys will survive and why they are not granted some forgiveness for whatever they were assigned to the RPF for. Human decency would be to sign them in to a proper nursing home to recover or at least die in peace. The one theory that I have is this: Uwe Stuckenbrock was the International Security Chief at Hemet. O'boy! What would happen if he had the opportunity to let the world know what is going on up there or the security issues that exist all over the planet. I'm sure that he's kept in the RPF so won't be able to leak any data out. When he arrived on the RPF he was at the caselevel of OT III and from what I heard, don't know if this is true, but his MS turned on while he was auditing on this level. So what has been done over the last 3 years to "handle" this? He completed OT III, was audited through OT IV and has been getting sessions on OT V for at least one year - I guess in the hope that he'd be getting better, but he's NOT IMPROVING! He is getting worse!

OK, the next guy, Mike Eves. He also came from INT. I believe that he arrived around the end of 2001. At first he was auditing and had a twin and was doing the official program. For some reason he got sick and it turned out that he had lung cancer. It was so critical that it was thought to be terminal, but through some miracle he managed to survive. He had an operation and they took out one of his lungs and he spent the last 2 years recovering from this tragedy. And get this: his wife Cherie Eves (also in the RPF) was assigned to care for him and she did so excellently. She was with him day and night for months and his son Paul Eves, (ALSO HERE IN THE RPF and also from INT headquarters!!) was with him in the hospital. I believe he was so critical that he might die so he was allowed to be attended by his son and wife. Can you believe it, the entire family in the RPF under these conditions? Cherie "graduated" not long ago and went back to work at Bridge Publications. She is responsible for the printing and publishing of new LRH books and volumes coming out. I just don't see that they will EVER get back together as a family. Since Cherie is gone, Mike looks very lonely and it must be hard to be in a room alone with nothing to do. The RPF rules apply to him to; you cannot have any news papers, cannot listen to any radio, no CD's or any music of any kind, much less any TV. TOTALLY CUT OFF FROM THE ENTIRE WORLD. By the way, you cannot read any novels either, only books written by LRH. He looks depressed and very unhappy, and I wish I could do anything to cheer him up. I don't see any hope of any future for him, as it is right now, he is also doomed to die in the RPF, as nobody is "letting him off the hook." I have no clue what he was doing at the INT headquarters, but obviously he is a danger and menace to David M's regime, and is being disposed of like Uwe.

Please do something for these guys, before it's too late. I hate to see their last document being published that "they served the Sea Organization for xx amount of years and are granted a 21 year leave of absence before they come back." This is a fact, this is what is written for anybody who dies in the Sea Org and it closes their PC folder, it is the last document. When you "come back" in the next body, you can "continue up the Bridge from where you left off." This "honorable" document is always written by Executive Director Int, Guillome Lesevre. I hate to see these guys dying here in the RPF and I wish they could get proper, professional medical care under no mental and physical stress.

On a similar issue, I wonder why older people are being put through the same level of physical stress as the younger ones. The rule is in the RPF that "you must always run." The former Captain of AOSH ANZO in Sydney is here in the RPF, her name is Elaine Allen. She's about 60 years old and is expected to work all the same hours. She has complained of aches and pains in her hands from the hard physical work. The pain is so bad that she has a hard time writing, typing and auditing which makes it even more difficult to get through the RPF training program. Oh! by the way, another rule for RPFers is that we cannot take any elevators. The showers are located on the 6th and 7th floor for the RPF in the big blue building. We take a shower every day, and I don't want to calculate how many times I have run up and down those stairs over the years... There are a few people that have bad physical problems who get special permission by the RPF I/C to take the elevator, but that's very few. Most of Elaine's family is in the Sea Org and her son is working at OSA International in Hollywood. Another guy named Henry Woodruff actually made it out of here alive earlier this year. He was over 60, but very healthy and strong. However, what I didn't understand about his situation was that he had to wait for OVER 6 MONTHS to be able to leave. He had a "Committee of Evidence" that had to get approved before he could leave, then he had to wait some more months for his $500 severance pay. He was in the RPF's RPF for over 6 months, doing physical work in the basement with the other guys for 10 hours a day - AT THE AGE OF 60!! I'm sure he caught up with the "real world" when he was finally allowed to leave. I don't know if he just got Fitness Boarded out or if he got SP declared.

There are also a bunch of kids here that are under age. One that graduated is Cameron Allsop. He was at the International Ranch for the kids, and when he was about 14 or so, he fooled around with some girls or whatever and got himself RPFed for out 2D. (Pretty normal for a boy that age to be interested in girls as I recall, but not in the sea org!!) When he arrived in the RPF he could barely read, due to his very low education level. It took him about 4-5 years to get through the program and he finally graduated with his twin Eric Smith. Eric is back at CC Int as a security guard and Cameron is working at ASHO Day. They are both about 18 or 20 now. It's common that teenagers in the Sea Org get curious about sex, and not being allowed to explore mother nature, they "do it anyway" and find themselves on the RPF. These Sea Org kids grow up seeing there parents once a day for an hour at most and often barely ever see them at all. How do you start a relationship or a marriage, not being allowed to explore and enjoy what has been "the birds and the bees" on this planet since Man developed? There is a frantic control of the "2nd Dynamic" which is called the "family or sex dynamic." If you want to look it up somewhere else, LRH explains what the "8 Dynamics" are. I've seen it's a common thing that young Sea Org members get married just to be able to "stick to the rules and still experience sex." Then if it doesn't work out, a divorce follows shortly after. There IS NO FAMILY LIFE in the Sea Org and what is there is frantically controlled. I think the above should give you an idea of what some members are going through. I hate to admit to this, but I have spent many hours "recruiting Sea Org members" over the years before I came to the RPF. Any recruiter will paint up a story how good it is and "it will all work out once you are a dedicated Sea Org Member." I guess these newsletters should not be mistaken for "Recruitment letters"!! Or what do you say? Come and join me! The RPF is ONLY for Sea Org members and it's FREE! All they want is your mind, your soul, your life and your next billion years.

Here's another RPF Insider message from 2004:
http://www.xenu-directory.net/critics/rpfinsider/rpfinsider7.html

Hello out there in the real world...

I have a friend who recently "blew" or in other words was smart enough to figure out how to get out of this rat hole! Her name is Mariette Lindstein and I knew her for years from Gold. She was a very high executive for many years and was assigned to the RPF for some reason. I never knew why and she wouldn't tell me here in the RPF. She did tell me however that she had divorced her husband Billy Lindstein, and that he is now the CO CLO EUS, in New York. They also have a son, and I believe that he is still at INT. He must be around 18-20 years old.

When Mariette arrived here, she must have planned to blow from the first day she arrived. She brought very few personal belongings, and all she left behind were a few small boxes, which contained only clothes. (Most RPFers bring all their worldly possessions with them, handling all that mest and storing it is another story I hope I can tell you about sometime) She must have kept her ID cards and passport, I think maybe she told them she lost them instead of turning them in. Wish I would have thought of that! Both Billy and Mariette are from Sweden and maybe she went back home? When she was uplines she told me that she was from a city called Halmstad (correctly spelled)? and if she went to Sweden she would probably be there, maybe with her parents? She was in the Sea Org for over 20 years, had no family in the US and I doubt that she had any non-scientology friends.

Mariette had several high posts and was in RTC. For a while she was the AVC I/C Int, Authorization and Verification Correction In Charge International. This post approves new programs and a lot of other things that are then implemented down the command channels through CMO and Int Exec Strata. She got busted and ended up at GOLD. Got busted again and got RPFed! When she blew the RPF here in May/June this year, it was a "flap" of magnitude. You can't believe the search team that is put together to find a person that blows, especially one who has such high inside information. If she has any way of speaking up she would probably be able to tell what DM's [David Miscavige] favorite lunch is or what he has on his desk. Put it this way — she knows "too much"!!! The night she took off, a search team of about 10 people from the RPF itself (the trusted ones that are "moving on the program"), the RPF I/C himself and a bunch of PAC security guards where searching the streets of LA in vain! The RPFers where stationed at the Metro Union station around the clock, in hopes of seeing and catching her (and of course to guard each other!)

By the way, the RPF people sent out on these searches had little or no money for food, and came back starving and deprived of sleep for 24 hours or more! People went to LAX, to the beach and other local parks, anywhere that someone might go to hide or to "destimulate" before coming back. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I hereby happily announce to you that I think SHE MADE IT AND GOT AWAY!! Of course she knew that she would be "SP declared" automatically and obviously didn't give a shit! However I never saw an SP Declare on her posted on the notice board which is kind of odd, but I am sure there are a lot of things we never find out about in the RPF.

At this point I don't give a shit if they declare me too, I just don't want to go through months and years of com-evs, sec checks, "baby watch" and other BS. I don't know how the other RPFers feel because we are not allowed to talk about it, if you said a word to anyone they would have to report you, even if they didn't, you'd both get busted on the next sec check! And I can see that a lot of people are really taking this seriously and truly want to get back on post. But for some reason nearly everyone is having trouble with the "final assessment" that I mentioned earlier in Newsletter #4, as most guys do have disagreements, etc., with INT Management. The way it's shoved back in our faces is "you missed withholds on your twin earlier or you have out-tech on your twin — that's why you can't get a clean assessment!" Gee, I wonder why that is???? (HAHA) Anyway, I sure hope Mariette is in good health, happy and busy creating a new life. If this message would ever reach her, let her know that I'm still her friend and look forward to the day when I'll be able to catch up with her.

If Scientology Worked...
If Scientology worked as well as the Church of Scientology claims, what would the church be like?

If Scientology worked, the citizens of Clearwater, Florida, would, by now, be extremely happy to have "Flag, the Mecca of Scientology" in their fair city. After all, the vast benefits and good community work would have won them over completely. But, excluding Scientologists themselves, the people of Clearwater are still very upset with how the church "snuck" into town and would be very pleased if the church just snuck right back out.

If Scientology worked, their superior public-relations technology would ensure that the public image of the Church of Scientology was overwhelmingly positive, all over the world.

If Scientology worked, the church would never be embarrassed when their videos are leaked (and found to contain bogus claims by bogus "officials").

If Scientology worked, their powerful OT-8s would make everything go right, not only for Scientology but for the whole world. They are, after all, cause over life, form, matter, energy, space and time ... aren't they?

If Scientology worked, there would be no accusations of abuse, crimes or fraud. Their superior technology would quickly clear up everyone's difficulties, and would effectively "shatter" any suppression so that there would be no victims and no enemies.

If Scientology worked, there would be world-wide acclaim at the Church's effective solutions in disaster areas, war zones and poverty regions. The demand for Scientology solutions would be overwhelming. People outside of Scientology would actually be aware of these "solutions".

If Scientology worked, the huge news announced in the big Scientology events would actually be true and would be reported by regular news sources outside of the events.

If Scientology worked, no one would ever want to leave the church. All promises would have been kept, all promised benefits would have been true and the number of Scientologists, world-wide, really would be in the tens of millions (instead of the actual figure of less than 50,000 and falling).

If Scientology worked, the Church would not be desperately hammering the few remaining Scientologists for money, more money and even more money.

If Scientology worked, all the top executives of the Church would still be there, on post, instead of only David Miscavige.

If Scientology worked, they would not have to lock disaffected staff up in pseudo-prison camps to keep them from leaving and telling their stories.

If Scientology worked, I wouldn't be writing this post.

=============

Scientologists: What Were Your Goals?
Dear Scientologist,

When you got into Scientology, what did you want to do with it? What did you want to accomplish?

Was it helping people? Did you envision helping others with Scientology?

Was it increased abilities, powers? Did you picture yourself dashing through life with ease and confidence?

Was it flourishing and prospering? Were your dreams of a good life, where you could live as you wished, where you had the life you'd dreamed of? Did you see yourself free from debt and financial troubles?

Was it freedom? Did you desire to be free from guilt and pressure; free to do as you deemed right; free to live the life you chose?

Was it "OT"? Did you want to uncover the upper level mysteries? Did you want to know how to regain OT abilities? Did you want unlimited potential?

So, how's it going with your original goals? Are you there yet? Are you making progress? Are your goals completely different now?

I can imagine your life is considerably different, now that you're a Scientologist, but is it better? Are you, personally, doing better now?

Or are you deeply in debt, far beyond what your better judgment would have allowed?

Are you under tons of pressure and guilt to do more, give more, dedicate more? Do you cringe when the phone rings? Do you get into long conversations about your private finances with Scientology staff members, IAS registrars, desperately trying to justify not going even deeper into debt?

Are you scared? Are you afraid that you will be prevented from moving up the bridge because you just haven't given enough money to the IAS, the Ideal Org. campaign, CCHR? Have you already been stopped? Do you feel threatened by what the Scientology powers-that-be may do to you if you don't do what you're told?

Have your results from Scientology been a disappointment? I know you can't admit it aloud, but have the bright, wonderful promised results not been so bright, not so wonderful? Do you feel just about like you used to feel, many years ago? Are you still hoping your future services will give you the bright, wonderful results you'd wanted?

Do you feel constrained, corralled, herded, controlled by the Church of Scientology? Do you get tired of constantly monitoring what you see, what you hear, what you read to make sure you don't stray from the "allowed areas"? Does the church have a list of things you should be doing? Does this feel like "freedom" to you? When you're around non-Scientologists, do you ever relax, or do you constantly watch what you say, what they say?

Do you miss your friends and family? Do friends and family tense up when you show up, because they know you'll just pressure them to "try Scientology"? Do any of them still want to be around you? Have you been forced to "disconnect" from all of them? Do you ever have any conversations that are not about Scientology? Don't you miss just hanging out?

When was the last time you laughed, really laughed, long and loud? When was the last time you really relaxed?

Do you feel that the Church of Scientology helps you or does it only demand help from you? And is that demand for help pretty much just a demand for lots more money?

Is your future "bright with promise", or is it now "heavy with guilt and responsibilities"?

Do you think the Church of Scientology would consider these questions "unacceptable"? Why would just asking questions be forbidden by any honest organization?

=============

Scientologists: Do you approve?
Which of these actions by the Church of Scientology do you approve of?

Denying church staff the right to go home and sleep in their own beds, forcing them to sleep under their desks.
Forcing church staff to stay awake and on post for over 18 hours a day, every day.

Denying church staff any days off, not weekends, not vacations, not holidays, not any days off, year after year after year.

Keeping church staff from leaving church property to have time away. No dining out, no movies, no shopping, no walks in the park. They cannot leave the property.
Denying church staff the "privilege" of seeing their spouse.
Denying church staff the "privilege" of seeing their children. Denying children the "privilege" of seeing their parents.
Opening and reading all private mail to church staff. Blocking and discarding private mail to church staff.
Forbidding church staff from owning a cell phone, a television, a radio. Confiscating all of these.

Denying church staff the "privilege" of eating dinner, forcing them to eat scraps of leftovers.
Denying church staff the "privilege" of speaking to non-staff family members.
Denying church staff any Scientology auditing or training.

Allowing church executives to lay hands on staff members, hitting, shoving, slapping, for any reason.
Reading aloud, confidential case information about church staff members before the entire staff.

Illegally locking up church staff members in virtual prisons with 24 hour guards, physical punishment, barbed wire fences and locked doors -- for years, without any "due process" or recourse.

Scientologist: By your support of Scientology management, you do, implicitly, approve and support all these things. Because all of these have been done and are currently being done at the Scientology International Base at Hemet California, known as "Gold".

This is your church and this is what your church is doing to its own staff members. If you don't know this, you need to become informed. This is what you are supporting!

If you do not approve of these actions, you must take action. It is your church and it is your responsibility to stop these abuses.


http://askthescientologist.blogspot.com/

The joke about this cut & paste "comment" is that all of the people he/she mentions are not in the RPF. I'd say, this is another made up anonymous story to push the usual anti-scientology propaganda. There is so much of that with so few scientologists around to counter them, that a famous infamous quote applies, that said something like "you just have to repeat a lie often enough for everyone to believe it".

Because we KNOW that Scientologists never lie, right? Question: Why DO Scientologists lie so much? Why do Lou and Lee feel no awkwardness or shame at spreading such idiotic nonsense all over the web? How much are you guys getting paid? Oh wait, I know: $50/week. Why, then, are you such crazy liars? What's in it for you? Do you really think you're "clearing the planet"? How come the OT8's haven't smoothed out all the Anonymous enturbulations? Why are you facing such an obviously losing PR battle? Nobody believes your nonsense any more. It just makes you look silly, crooked, and very, very brainwashed. I would encourage you to snap out of it before the curtain comes down, which it will do soon, and it isn't going to be pretty. Just in the past seven months, every lie that Scientology has told about Anonymous has proven to be ridiculous spin, which was actually quite obvious in the first place. It's over, kids. Might as well face it. Only a criminal would persist in telling as many lies as the two of you tell, in the face of such overwhelming evidence. Hi there, criminals. It's your choice.

I am making $50/hour but I guess this is not what you mean. Actually for posting articles I get exactly nothing, except for the trash on my email and some threats here and there.
