DESCRIPTION:East Bay Atheists &\nBay Area 
 Atheists/Agnostics/Brights/Humanists/Freethinkers present 11/19\nGary 
 “Anomaly” Speaks on the Cult of Scientology\n\nThis month we feature 
 Gary “Anomaly,” who has been involved in the anti-Scientology movement 
 for the last 3 and 1/2 years. He has been involved in protests, information 
 gathering and dissemination. He has read numerous biographies and personal 
 accounts of, or met and interviewed former Scientologists and the affected 
 families of former and current members.\n\nBecause of the litigious nature 
 of Scientology, Gary “Anomaly” will attempt to remain anonymous.\nThe 
 presentation and slideshow will cover a broad spectrum of topics.\n\n\n-The 
 history and founding of Scientology.\n\n-The suspicious claims and 
 deplorable behavior of founder L. Ron Hubbard.\n\n-The creation of the 
 universe according to Scientology and other myths, such as the famous 
 “Xenu Space Oprah”.\n\n\n-The policies of fraud and abuse of the 
 church, such as “Disconnection” and “Fair Game” which make it 
 dangerous to leave or speak out against the church.\n\n-An organized 
 attempt by the church to infiltrate the government called “Operation Snow 
 White”.\n\n-Scientology front-groups, who seem to be unaffiliated, but 
 are actually recruitment tools or revenue sources for the church.\n\n-The 
 controversy and cover-up of the death of Lisa McPherson, a Scientologist 
 who tried to leave.\n\n“Anomaly” is currently researching halfway 
 housing and recovery housing for former drug users and inmates with the 
 intent of applying those principles to potentially start a network of 
 halfway housing for those escaping cults and isolationist religious 
 groups.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/11/06/18697905.php
