"[...] Reeve Lionel Bennett received a letter from Brampton West-Mississauga
MP Colleen Beaumier congratulating the town on the achievement of having
a Narconon facility locate
in the municipality. She explained how, in her capacity as the chair
of the Parliamentary Sub-Committee on Human Rights she toured Narconon
Los Angeles, “an eye opening experience to the amount of good
work they are doing in our society.” She continued, “I understand
there have been concerns expressed in Marmora about
Narconon and the Scientologists. On a personal note,
I have relatives who reside in Clearwater, Florida, which is also home to
the world spiritual centre for Scientologists. There are 10,000 Scientologists
in the Tampa Bay area. My relatives are Christian and were initially deeply
concerned about the massive presence of the Scientologists in the downtown
area. It has, however, been proven over the years
that they have benefitted the community of Clearwater and improved the conditions
of the downtown area immensely.” She concluded, “Although Narconon
is secular, and not in the Church
of Scientology, I would expect Marmora to benefit similarly and eventually
be proud of its presence.”

Chamber
Debate May 30, 2002
Witnesses:
- Association for Better Living and Education (ABLE Canada): Brad Melnychuk,
Executive Director 1550
1615
1625
1645
[ SPDL note ]
Mr. Brad Melnychuk: [1650]
You asked if we'd spoken or met with researchers coming up with this information.
I personally have not. I also cannot say whether or not any staff from Narconon
across the globe—because we have Narconons all over—have done
that. I would tend to question it, based on the fact that our Narconons
are improving, and some of them are very close to a 100% success rate.
We address both the physical addiction and the psychological addiction,
because we know that a body can be physically changed from living off nutrients
to living off drugs. That is a fact; there are documents and it does occur.
Whether or not it's because of genes, I don't know. However, we also know
we can reverse that, and do.
- Narconon: Devinder Luthra 1605
Mr.
Devinder Luthra: [1610] I wanted to add to what these people have said.
In the drug rehabilitation program that Narconon has, you'll be surprised
to know that 40% of the students--we call them “students”; we
don't call them “addicts”--have come back as trainers. They
are training the new students giving their own examples. They are there
for four years, five years, or six years. It's improving every day.
That program is there, and the success rate, whatever the statistics
show, is 65% in the worst case. On the average it's 75%. And they don't
go back to the drugs. This is drug-free rehabilitation. We don't use any
methadone. We don't use any other drugs to rehabilitate them. But these
programs have not been given the chance to come to the attention of the
government. That's our fault then.

alt.religion.scientology: Week
in Review
Frank
Magazine reported that Scientology has invited members of the Canadian
Parliament to visit their UK headquarters to discuss alleged discrimination
against Scientologists in Europe.
"This week's award for most dubious parliamentary junket goes to
Colleen Beaumier (Lib-Brampton West-Mississauga) who is
trying to round up collegues for a week-long tot later this month to England
to attend the international AGM of the charmingly offbeat Church of Scientology.
According to Colleen, she hatched the idea for the UK odyssey with Al
Buttnor, Scientology's chief Canadian spokesthingy.[ SPDL note
]
"'Mr Buttnor shared with me an interesting idea that he has to take
several parliamentarians to Europe to demonstrate to them first hand the
discrimination and prejudice experienced by members of the Church of Scientology.
I thought the idea had merit and I agreed to forward the information to
Members of Parliament who I thought might be sympathetic to their cause
as well as interested in a trip of this nature.'
"Among the subjects the Scientologists can be expected to raise
with their guests are the constant concerns about 'suppressive' behaviour
by governments around the world, some of which regard them as a dangerous
cult, and plain old matters of the pocketbook (Revenue Canada kiboshed the
Scientologists' last bid for tax free status in 1999). The parliamentary
freeloaders are scheduled to leave for England October 17. On the 21st,
after the AGM wraps up at Scientology world headquarters in Saint Hill Manor,
East Grinstead, the Scientologists propose to whisk their guests off on
a fun-filled tour of France and Germany, two overnments with rigorous anti-cult
laws the Sci-Fi's find particularly onerous before touching back down in
Toronto, Planet Earth, October 23."

SPDL note: Al
Buttnor is Director
of Public Affairs, Scientology Toronto. An essential part of Mr. Buttnor's
activities is directed by Scientology's intelligence
manuals. He cannot but have accepted that:
"The goal of the department is to bring the government and hostile
philosophies or societies into a state of complete compliance with the goals
of Scientology. This is done by high level ability to control and in its
absence by low level ability to overwhelm. Introvert such agencies. Control
such agencies. Scientology is the only game on Earth where everybody wins.
There is no overt in bringing good order." Dept

Step Four: Life Improvement Courses
A series of Narconon Program life improvement courses are studied to put
the individual back in control of his or her life. [...]
C. The Narconon Program Ups
and Downs in Life Course gives the student
the ability to spot and handle those influences in his environment that
would cause him to lose any gains he has made. [
More...]
He learns the characteristics of the social personality as well as those
of the anti-social
personality so that he can spot the difference and better choose his
friends and associates. Completing this course makes the student less susceptible
to those who would influence him to revert to drugs.

Designed solely as a handling for the barrier to spiritual gains caused
by drugs, the Purification Rundown is a carefully designed combination of
exercise, vitamins, nutrition and sauna use which dislodge drug residues
and other toxins from the fatty tissues so that these substances can then
be eliminated from the body. Once the person is free of the harmful effects
of drug residues and other toxins, he is in a far better position to improve
spiritually, as many thousands can attest to.

The criminal acts of Church of Scientology of Toronto
were insidious attacks on two essential law enforcement agencies in this
province. The integrity and effective functioning of those agencies (the
Ministry of the Attorney General and the Ontario Provincial Police) are
of great importance to good government in this province. The offences threatened
such integrity and effectiveness, and I regard each of them as very serious.
[...]
This conduct represented a deliberate attempt to undermine the effectiveness
of the law enforcement agencies. The acts struck at the integrity of the
public service. This was not simply an intelligence-gathering exercise.
The appellant had planted its agents in these agencies so that they would
be able to anticipate and counter the efforts of these agencies to enforce
the law.
R.
v. Church of Scientology of Toronto, CanLII 1650
|
|
[The Scientology conspirators] challenged and attempted
to undermine the judicial and governmental structure of the United States.
[...] These crimes included: the infiltration and theft of documents from
a number of prominent private, national, and world organizations, law firms,
newspapers, and private citizens; the execution of smear campaigns and baseless
law suits for the sole purpose of destroying private individuals who had
attempted to exercise their First Amendment rights to freedom of expression;
the framing of private citizens who had been critical of Scientology, including
the forging of documents which led to the indictment of at least one innocent
person; and violation of the civil rights of prominent private citizens
and public officials.

et al.

Memorandum [.pdf]

Under this department comes the corporation's
solicitors, attorneys, chartered accountants and any attorney or accountant
hired directly by the corporation for outside legal or tax or filing purposes.
[...]
All contracts, filings with the government, all tax reports and their preparation,
corporation minutes, annual meetings, legal papers, suits against and by
the corporation, whether HASI Ltd or HCO Ltd, all legal investigatory work
and detectives, all contacts with government agents, bureaus and departments,
all assistance to governments, messages to governments, handling answers
from governments or courts shall be cared for by the Department, whether
to advance or protect Scientology or its corporations by government or legal
channels.
[...]
(3) Make enough threat or clamor to cause the enemy to quail, (4) Don't
try to get any money out of it, (5) Make every attack by us also sell Scientology
and (6) Win. If attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone or anything
or any organization, always find or manufacture enough threat against them
to cause them to sue for peace. Peace is bought with an exchange of advantage,
so make the advantage and then settle. Don't ever defend. Always attack.
Don't ever do nothing. Unexpected attacks in the rear of the enemy's front
ranks work best.
[...]
The goal of the Department is to bring the government and hostile philosophies
or societies into a state of complete compliance with the goals of Scientology.
This is done by high level ability to control and in its absence by low
level ability to overwhelm. Introvert such agencies. Control such agencies.
Scientology is the only game on Earth where everybody wins. There is no
