Says masses should be indoctrinated to stop having children in order that the human race can die out and save the planet

Infowars | May 12, 2008

By Steve Watson

An environmental group says it’s sole purpose is to recruit volunteers and educate enough people to eventually realize that the human race needs to completely die out in order that the planet can survive.

The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT) says humans need to stop breeding and voluntarily progress our own slow demise in order that plants, animals and fragile ecosystems can survive.

The group’s motto is “May we live long and die out”. Their website explains their commitment to a long term goal of convincing the population of Earth that it has no future…

Mothers of all but those 4 and younger were told they would no longer be allowed to stay with their children

FLDS children moved to sports arena

By William M. Welch, USA TODAY

Hundreds of children in state care following removal from a West Texas polygamy compound were moved Monday to a sports arena, and some were separated from their mothers, for their own safety, a state official said.

The relocation by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services came as a state court grappled with the complexities of one of the nation’s largest child custody cases.

An estimated 416 children were removed last week from the Yearning for Zion Ranch, a 1,691-acre farm and residential community near Eldorado, Texas, and home to members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS).

Until Monday, 139 mothers had been permitted to voluntarily remain with their children in state protective custody at Fort Concho in San Angelo, Texas, about 45 miles from the ranch.

But to relieve crowding, approximately 170 of the children and accompanying mothers were moved to another building, said Marleigh Meisner, spokesman for the state’s Child Protective Services.

When the San Angelo Coliseum became available Monday, children still at the fort were moved to the larger arena, she said.

Mothers of all but those 4 and younger were told they would no longer be allowed to stay with their children, she said. Meisner said some chose to return to their ranch and others accepted the state’s offer of “a safe place” elsewhere.

“Once we moved to the coliseum this afternoon, we notified the mothers who had children 5 years and older that they no longer would be able to stay with their children,” she said.

She said the moves were made for “the safety of the children” and in consultation with the court, mental health professionals and lawyers for some of the children.

Gerald Goldstein, attorney for the FLDS church, did not return a call seeking comment.

The children are being held in state protective custody pending a hearing Thursday in district court. On Monday, Texas District Court Judge Barbara Walther consulted with dozens of lawyers representing or hoping to represent children and other involved parties and said she was still trying to figure out how to manage a case involving perhaps hundreds of lawyers.

Texas officials have accused the sect of physically and sexually abusing children and arranging marriages of adult males with underage girls.

Law enforcement and child-welfare officers moved in on the ranch last week under court orders after a 16-year-old mother telephoned a crisis hotline and described abuse.

Sect mothers lament lost children

The Web enables anyone to communicate with the masses, even serial killers.

Charles Manson, convicted murderer and leader of the infamous Manson Family, has released the digital album One Mind over the Web.

Manson, who ordered the deaths of actress Sharon Tate and seven others including Tate’s unborn son, has issued the album under the Creative Commons license, which means anyone can listen or copy it as long as they don’t use it for commercial purposes.

Charles Manson Sings

It’s doubtful that anyone would want to buy Manson’s music. Indeed, one of the reasons that Manson sent his minions to Tate’s house to kill everybody in it was that he thought it was occupied by a record producer who had rejected his music.

Freeman Claims 24 Years of Remote Captivity by AMORC

PRNewswire | Mar 21, 2008

New Book Reveals Secret Indoctrination Techniques of Rosicrucian Order

NEW YORK, March 21 /PRNewswire/ — Pierre S. Freeman’s new book, “The Prisoner of San Jose,” exposes the invasive psychological methods of a
secretive Rosicrucian cult based in Canada but with its American headquarters in San Jose, California. Not only does this book expose the shadowy world of the Rosicrucian order — with its secret vows, invisible Masters and omnipotent authority, but also it sheds light on a technique of mind control Freeman calls “Remote Indoctrination.”

The amazing story of Pierre S. Freeman’s enslavement by a mind control cult begins in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, where Freeman was pursuing an
engineering degree at the Faculte des Sciences. At this point, a star pupil, Freeman was seduced by the promises of economic freedom offered by
the occult and began to invest more time in the Rosicrucian lessons than in his own engineering studies. These teachings were mostly delivered through monographs, developed by Spencer H. Lewis in the early part of the twentieth century. The monographs promised spiritual and material success
when followed deliberately. Through these methods, the so-called Ancient and Mystic Order of Rosae Crucis, commonly known as AMORC, would equip the
student to face the world from an elevated spiritual perspective. By entering into these teachings, Freeman would encounter severe poverty,
homelessness, loss of career, family and friends.

According to the book, “The Prisoner of San Jose,” the power of AMORC lay in its adherence to many mind control practices chronicled by experts
like Stephen Hassan, author of “Combating Cult Mind Control” and Margaret Thaler Singer, now deceased, who wrote “Cults in Our Midst: the Hidden Menace in Our Everyday Lives.” Although Hassan and Singer’s cults were generally centers of highly aggressive in-your-face, person-to-person behavior, Pierre found, to his astonishment, the much less obvious
techniques of remote indoctrination, practiced by AMORC, rendered the same kind of personality-altering conditions spoken of by both authors. Pierre found that understanding the conventional methods of cult indoctrination gave him the cues to uproot enough of his mental and emotional condition to reverse some of the psychological damage that led to his inability to let go of the cult and to allow him to begin to reverse engineer his psychological entrapment.

“The Prisoner of San Jose,” subtitled “How I Escaped From Rosicrucian Mind Control,” has been released this month by Wheatmark Publishing in
Tucson, AZ. It is available online and at bookstores throughout the United States. Books published by Wheatmark are sold on Amazon.com,
BarnesandNoble.com, Borders.com, BooksAMillion.com, Target.com and at the Wheatmark Bookstore at http://www.wheatmark.com/bookstore

Frà Matthew Festing, 58, an Englishman, becomes the 79th Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta.

Until his final breath, Matthew Festing will carry the title “His Most Eminent Highness”.

Catholic News Service | Mar 11, 2008

Leading Knights said the order is often depicted as secret society of the wealthy elite.

By John Thavis

ROME (CNS) — In a secret and swift election, the Knights of Malta elected an Englishman as their 79th grand master.

Festing, 59, will head the world’s oldest chivalric order, founded in the 11th century. He is only the second Englishman to hold the post of grand master; Bertie was the first.

Known officially as the Sovereign Military Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta, the organization was established to care for pilgrims during the Crusades. It lives on today as a lay Catholic religious order and a worldwide humanitarian network.

The order is also a sovereign state, holding observer status at the United Nations and maintaining diplomatic relations with 100 countries.

Festing, an expert in art and history, joined the Knights in 1977 and in 1991 became a “professed” knight, taking religious vows. He is a descendent of Blessed Adrian Fortescue, a Knight of Malta who was martyred in the 16th century.

As head of the English priory, Festing organized humanitarian assistance missions to Lebanon and Kosovo and led a delegation on the order’s annual pilgrimage with the sick to Lourdes.

In a statement issued after his election, the new grand master said he wanted to continue the work of his predecessor, who was credited with expanding the order’s humanitarian services and its diplomatic connections.

Pope Benedict XVI was informed of Festing’s election before it was announced to the world.

The election of a grand master is a major event in Rome. Fifty electors, representing the 12,500 male and female members of the order, filed into the Knights’ villa on Rome’s Aventine Hill, wearing their distinctive red robes decorated with the Maltese cross.

The election, which began with a Mass, had similarities to a papal conclave. The grand master had to be chosen from among the order’s approximately 50 professed Knights.

The voting was done by a secret ballot, after nonvoters were asked to leave. No politicking was allowed, and the new grand master had to receive a “majority plus one” of the total votes — at least 27 out of 50.

At a press conference a few days before the election, leading Knights said the order is often wrongly depicted as an elite, wealthy secret society.

“In many ways, we are misunderstood,” said Winfried Henckel von Donnersmark, a member of the order’s sovereign council. In part, that’s because of the unusual nature of the organization, he said.

The Knights are a religious order, yet the vast majority of members are lay, he pointed out. It is a Catholic organization, but its humanitarian operations are open to people of all faiths. And while it does have some property and patrimony, it has to continually raise funds to support its annual $1 billion in charity works around the world, he said.

Membership in the order is by invitation. Knights and Dames are practicing Catholics and devote part of their time to doing works of mercy.

The professed members are all male, but women form an increasingly important part of the order, officials said.

According to Albrecht von Boeselager, one of the order’s chief officials, the Knights have about 80,000 local volunteers working in 120 countries throughout the world. The organization is welcomed by so many governments — even by the military regime in Myanmar, for example — because it adheres to strict neutrality on political issues, he said.

“We don’t consider ourselves a human rights organization. If making accusations on human rights issues would prevent us from assisting the needy, we would prefer to be silent,” von Boeselager said.

In the Middle East and Asia, however, the Knights’ neutrality has recently been called into question by extremist propaganda, he said.

“We have been accused of being part of a ‘new crusade,’ and even of having mercenaries fighting in Iraq. That is totally untrue, and it endangers our personnel in Muslim countries,” he said.

Noreen Falcone, president of the Knights’ U.S. federal association, said the order’s organizational structure gives it the ability to move quickly into disaster areas. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, for example, the order went to work immediately.

“We’re still there, building homes and helping to give people back their self-respect,” she said.

British art historian elected grand master of Knights of Malta

AP | Mar 12, 2008

ROME (AP) - The Knights of Malta said Tuesday they have elected a British art historian as the new grand master of the lay Roman Catholic order.

Fra Matthew Festing replaces the late Fra Andrew Bertie as head of the 900-year-old charitable order.

The Knights of Malta chose the 59-year-old Festing as their 79th grand master during

a meeting Tuesday in Rome. Festing was sworn in shortly after the election, the order said.

Festing joined the Order of Malta in 1977. He has led humanitarian missions in Lebanon and Kosovo as the Grand Prior of England, a senior position he held for the past 15 years, the statement said.

Officially known as the Sovereign Military Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta, the order was founded with a pilgrims’ hospice in 11th century Jerusalem and has the status of an independent state.

The order has 12,500 members and operates in 120 countries, providing medical and social services, particularly in war zones and impoverished areas. It maintains diplomatic relations with 100 nations.

Frà Matthew Festing Elected Grand Master

Frà Matthew Festing, 58, an Englishman, becomes the 79th Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, elected this morning by the Council Complete of State (the Order’s electoral body). In accepting the role, the new Grand Master swore his Oath before the Cardinal Patronus of the Order, Cardinal Pio Laghi, and the electoral body. He succeeds Frà Andrew Bertie, 78th Grand Master (1988-2008), who died on 7 February.

The new Grand Master affirms his resolve to continue the great work carried out by his predecessor. Frà Matthew comes with a wide range of experience in Order affairs. He has been the Grand Prior of England since the Priory’s re-establishment in 1993, restored after an abeyance of 450 years. In this capacity, he has led missions of humanitarian aid to Kosovo, Serbia and Croatia after the recent disturbances in those countries, and with a large delegation from Britain he attends the Order’s annual pilgrimage to Lourdes with handicapped pilgrims.

Educated at Ampleforth and St. John’s College Cambridge, where he read history, Frà Matthew, an art expert, has for most of his professional life worked at an international art auction house. As a child he lived in Egypt and Singapore, where his father, Field Marshal Sir Francis Festing, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, had earlier postings. His mother was a member of the recusant Riddells of Swinburne Castle who suffered for their faith in penal times. He is also descended from Sir Adrian Fortescue, a knight of Malta, who was martyred in 1539.

Frà Matthew served in the Grenadier Guards and holds the rank of colonel in the Territorial Army. He was appointed OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) by the Queen and has served as her Deputy Lieutenant in the county of Northumberland for a number of years.

In 1977 Frà Matthew became a member of the Order of Malta, taking solemn religious vows in 1991.

Sotheby’s Auctioneer Elected Grand Master of the Knights of Malta

Until his final breath, Matthew Festing will carry the title “His Most Eminent Highness.”

ARTINFO | Mar 13, 2008

ROME—Sotheby’s auctioneer Matthew Festing has been elected as the 79th Grand Master of the Knights of Malta, a Roman Catholic chivalric order established in the 11th century during the Crusades, the Times (London) reports. The secret-ballot election took place March 11 at a papal-style conclave in the order’s headquarters on the Aventine Hill in Rome.

The Knights, who are also known as the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta, carry out charitable and medical operations in 120 countries. The organization has recently been attempting to dispel rumors that it is rich and secretive (see the Da Vinci Code), and the election of Festing, who is seen as a reformer, is a sign that they plan to be more open and to better publicize their charitable acts.

Festing, a descendant of Sir Adrian Fortescue, a Knight of Malta martyred in 1539, was admitted to the order in 1977. In 1988 he became a Knight of Justice, in 1991 he took perpetual vows, and he has recently served as Grand Prior of the British Association, Sovereign Military and Hospitaller Order of Malta (BASMOM). Festing’s father was also a member of the order, and his brother Andrew Festing is president of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and a favorite of the British royal family.

Grand Masters, like Popes, are elected for life. Until his final breath, Matthew Festing will carry the title “His Most Eminent Highness.”

A memorial website was set up within hours of Miss Randall’s death

Police fear internet cult inspires teen suicides driven by a desire to achieve prestige by having a memorial website set up in their name.

Telegraph | Jan 23, 2008

By Nick Britten and Richard Savill

Detectives fear a bizarre suicide craze is sweeping through teenagers in a small town fuelled by chat on social networking sites after seven friends took their own lives.

As well as the deaths during the last 12 months, several more have attempted suicide and police fear they are being driven by a desire to achieve prestige by having a memorial website set up in their name.

Many of the victims had their own web pages on the social networking site Bebo, which they spent hours on each day. After their deaths a special site is set up where friends can leave messages, photographs and videos.

Police have visited the parents of every member of a 20-strong group who they are most worried about warning them to keep a close eye on their children.

The latest victim is Natasha Randall, 17, who was found hanged at her family home last Thursday. Within 24 hours two of her friends had tried to kill themselves. One 15-year-old girl was on a life support machine yesterday while the other, also 15, was recovering after slitting her wrists.

Police, who are investigating a possible suicide chain, fear the teenagers think it is “cool” to have an internet memorial site and are killing themselves to achieve kudos among their peer group.

Within hours of Miss Randall’s death, a tribute site called “R.I.P. Tasha” had sprung up with photos, videos and messages. It has 345 members been viewed more than 2,100 times.

Her death follows those of Gareth Morgan, 27, Liam Clarke, 20, Thomas Davies, 20, David Dilling, 19, Dale Crole, 18, and Zachary Barnes, 17. Like Miss Randall, all lived in and around Bridgend in south Wales and all are being linked.

Miss Randall was in her first year on a Care and Childhood Studies course at Bridgend College. Her stepmother, Katrina, said the teenager spent hours every day on her computer using the name “Wildchild”.

She said: “The police have been and taken Natasha’s computer away to help with their investigation. This has come as a shock to all of us. We’re just too upset to speak about it, her dad especially.”

Thomas Davies’ mother, Melanie, 38, said: “It’s like a craze - a stupid sort of fad. They all seem to be copying each other by wanting to die.

“I think the problem is they do not know how to speak like adults about serious issues like this. They can speak to each other on the computer but do not know how to express their emotions in other ways.

“He did go on Bebo and apparently he had a page on there. He must have discussed his other friends dying on there because it had upset him.

“Like most parents, I have no idea how to get on these sites or what other kids are talking about. But I would warn other parents to beware and to keep a close eye on their children.”

A police source said: “Parents should keep a close watch on what their children are doing on the internet and what they are talking about.

“It’s often easier for them to disclose their real feelings on a computer rather than face to face with an adult or even their friends, and social networking sites are the ideal way to do that.”

Madeleine Moon, Bridgend MP, has met with senior police officers to discuss Bridgend’s alarmingly high suicide rate. The Bridgend and Glamorgan Valleys Coroner, Phillip Walters, has also raised his concerns and a special “task force” has been set up in the town to investigate the problem.

Consultant psychiatrist Tegwyn Williams, director of mental health services for the NHS Trust, said: “Unfortunately there’s a culture where men don’t tend to talk about how they feel. It comes to the point where they can’t see any way out.

“The key is to break down the stigma attached to suicide in the community so that people aren’t afraid to talk to someone of they feel depressed.”

It comes after the deaths of three teenagers in a suicide pact in a small village in Northern Ireland in the summer.

“We are the authorities.”

DAILY NEWS | Jan 18,  2008

BY DAVE GOLDINER

Tom Cruise’s latest kooky Internet video includes a cameo appearance by a city paramedic linked to a post-9/11 treatment center funded by Scientologists.

The Hollywood superstar rails against the federal government’s response to health problems associated with the World Trade Center collapse in the video, which was made to recruit converts.

“The [Environmental Protection Agency] came out and said the air was clean,” Cruise says. “Of course, as a Scientologist, you go, ‘That’s a lie.’”

“Outpoint lie,” Cruise adds. “You go, ‘Liar.’”

The video includes footage of Israel (Izzy) Miranda, a health and safety coordinator for the Uniformed EMTs and Paramedics union. Miranda insists on the video there was little sign of government help for first responders after the attacks.

“All they were doing was med screening,” he says in the undated footage. “Nobody was aggressively treating these people to give them a better quality of life.”

After 9/11, Miranda, who could not be reached yesterday, praised a Scientology-run clinic bankrolled by Cruise. The center, Downtown Medical in lower Manhattan, offered firefighters, paramedics and others a regimen of exercise, vitamins and saunas to remove toxins from their body.

FDNY officials expressed concern about the treatments saying they had seen no “objective evidence” to support Downtown Medical’s claims.

The Cruise videos emerged on the Internet in recent days just as a new unauthorized biography of the actor hits bookstores.

In one clip, he salutes a portrait of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, makes references to obscure Scientology writings and uses jargon associated with the sect.

The video highlights Cruise’s high-profile attempts to help first responders after 9/11 showing him shaking hands with them. “Why ask permission?” the actor asks cryptically, repeating a mantra of Scientology. “We are the authorities.”

Firms scared off Cruise book

The Australian | Jan 16, 2008

by Ean Higgins and Nicola Berkovic

THE mere thought of legal action has divided the men from the boys in the book trade when it comes to Tom Cruise and the Scientologists.

Retailers are fearful of stocking Andrew Morton’s unauthorised biography of Tom Cruise.

Pan Macmillan Australia has been scared away from publishing a salacious biography of the movie star by British author Andrew Morton.

Retailer Dymocks has also decided not to stock the book because of fears of possible defamation action.

By contrast, US publishers St Martin’s Press, which is a sister company of Pan Macmillan, was gearing up for a massive launch of Tom Cruise - An Unauthorised Biography to a ravenous American audience.

According to freedom-of-information advocate Irene Moss, the different moves reflect the more plaintiff-friendly defamation laws in Australia, where even the suggestion of possible lawsuits is enough to scare off publishers and booksellers.

Morton, known for making wild unsourced claims, makes some spectacular ones about Cruise, Scientology’s biggest celebrity adherent.

Leaks before the book’s scheduled US release overnight reveal that Morton paints an unfavourable picture of Scientologists, who follow the teachings ofAmerican science fiction writer L.Ron Hubbard, who died in 1986.

Morton claims Cruise’s former wife Nicole Kidman, in the final “audit” session she had with the church, in which members speak to a minister who watches a version of a lie detector, discussed her sexual relations with Cruise and the session was taped.

Morton alleges that Scientologists threatened to blackmail Kidman if she spoke out against the church after her failed marriage to Cruise.

He also claims Scientologists believe Cruise’s daughter, Suri, is a reincarnation of Hubbard.

Without naming his sources, Morton writes: “Some sect members sincerely believed that Katie Holmes was carrying the baby who would be the vessel for L.Ron Hubbard’s spirit when he returned from his trip around thegalaxy.”

The Church of Scientology has rejected Morton’s allegations as a “bigoted, defamatory assault replete with lies”.

It said in a statement Morton made no attempt to put his supposed revelations to the church and added: “His British publishing house refused publication of Morton’s diatribe due to his inability to substantiate his claims.”

Pan Macmillan publicist Jeannine Fowler said the Australian publishers had not received threats by Scientologists or agents for Cruise, but lawyers had advised against publication.

“The laws governing this sort of issue in Australia are different from those in the US,” she said.

Dymocks Group chief executive Don Grover said the company had obtained legal advice and decided to play it safe - without the lawyers or the retailers having read the book. “We’ve made a decision that we’re not prepared to take the commercial risk,” Mr Grover said.

Other booksellers have no such qualms: Gleebooks principal David Gaunt has placed an order for “a small number” of the US edition, and Angus & Robertson book manager Jodi Smith said the book chain intended to make the book available to customers as soon as it could.

Explosive claims on Cruise baby

Herald Sun | Jan 7, 2008

by Paul Kent

TOM Cruise is the second-in-command of the Church of Scientology and his daughter, Suri, was conceived using sperm from the dead scientology founder, a new book says.

Biographer Andrew Morton also claims Cruise’s former wife, Nicole Kidman, fears the release of tapes made with Scientologists revealing intimate sexual details.

Cruise has strongly denied the claims and has already instructed lawyers to draw up a $110 million lawsuit against the book’s publisher, St Martin’s Press.

Andrew Morton’s wild claims include that Cruise’s 20-month-old daughter, Suri, was conceived “like Rosemary’s Baby” - with wife Katie Holmes impregnated with the sperm of dead Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

The Secret Life of L. Ron Hubbard

The book, due out next Tuesday, may not be published in England because of defamation laws.

Australia’s strong defamation laws mean it will more than likely avoid publication in Australia too. Under the church’s teachings, followers can have life’s problems solved through a system of one-on-one counsellings called “audits”.

Tom Cruise: An Unauthorised Biography claims it was in these audits where Cruise and Kidman revealed intimate aspects of their sex life, which were recorded.

As support, Morton points to a Playboy interview of L. Ron Hubbard’s son Ronald De Wolf, who had fallen out with his father.

“You have complete control of someone if you have every detail of his sex life and fantasy life on record,” he said.

“In Scientology, the focus is on sex. Sex, sex, sex. The first thing we wanted to know about someone we were auditing was his sexual deviations.”

The tapes may stop Kidman from speaking out about her distrust of the religion.

The Aussie actor was allegedly identified by followers as a “potential trouble source”, largely because her father was a psychologist and she had given an interview emphasising her Catholic roots.

Morton claims that after Cruise left Kidman in 2000 she was worried she might not be allowed to see their two adopted children, and received a warning not to speak out against Scientology.

Morton quotes a high-ranking Scientologist as saying they had received a phone call from Kidman’s lawyer, Bill Beslow.

“At this point Nicole hated Scientology but was concerned for the kids,” Morton quotes the source as saying.

“She did not want to ruin her relationship with them. I told the lawyer if she wants to stay with the children she will have to be quiet and not speak out about Scientology.”

Morton claims Kidman was concerned, in particular, about the audit tapes.

Cruise’s lawyer, Bert Fields, has said the star will not be reading the book.

“It’s a boring, poorly researched book by a man who never talked to anyone involved in Tom Cruise’s life or anyone close to him,” he said.

Morton portrays Cruise as a talented actor that became consumed by Scientology after tasting enormous success. He was identified as a big catch by the church and used as a figurehead.

Cruise has since risen to No. 2 in the church, according to Morton, and his next mission is to recruit David and Victoria Beckham.

Morton claims that Scientology leader David Miscavige catered to Cruise’s every whim.

One such incident was Cruise’s fantasy, revealed shortly after he married Kidman, that they run through a meadow of wildflowers together.

Miscavige immediately had a meadow sown near the bungalow Cruise and Kidman were staying at on the church’s Gold Base, 150km from Los Angeles.

“A team of 20 disciples was set to work digging, hoeing and planting wheat grass and wildflower seed near the Cruises’ bungalow,” Morton told the Mail on Sunday.

Followers have denied it happened, though Morton claims to have several affidavits supporting his claim.

Morton rose to fame when he wrote a controversial biography of Princess Diana that heavily criticised the royal family and was widely panned as fantasy.

However, Diana later revealed that she was the main source throughout the book.

The Herald Sun unsuccessfully sought comment from Kidman’s representatives last night.

Associated Press | Dec 7, 2007

BERLIN—Germany’s top security officials said Friday they consider the goals of the U.S.-based Church of Scientology to be in conflict with the principles of the nation’s constitution and will seek to ban the group.

The interior ministers of the nation’s 16 states as well as federal Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble “consider Scientology to be an organization that is not compatible with the constitution,” Berlin Interior Minister Erhart Koerting, who presided over the officials’ two-day conference, told reporters.

The German government considers Scientology a commercial enterprise that takes advantage of vulnerable people. During the summer, it initially refused to allow the producers of a movie starring Scientology member Tom Cruise as Germany’s most famous anti-Hitler plotter to film at the site where the hero was executed, although it did not expressly state Scientology as its reason.

The ministers plan to task the nation’s domestic intelligence agency to begin preparing the necessary information to ban Scientology in Germany. The agency has had Scientology under observation for a decade on allegations that it “threatens the peaceful democratic order” of the country.

Scientologists have long battled to end the surveillance, saying it is an abuse of their right to freedom of religion. The State Department regularly criticizes Germany in its annual Human Rights Report for the monitoring practice.
