Scientology Critic, Author Ian Halperin, Goes Dark In Hours Before Interview - Page 2
Ian fully admits this could have been a prank, someone playing on the media's reports of the intimidation tactics the COS have used in the past to quiet those who've threatened to expose their inner world. I know from my perspective, I received a rather cryptic email a couple of weeks ago when I first reported on the Andrew Morton Tom Cruise/COS expose, from a local representative of the COS which ultimately suggested they stop by my house and give me some info on the COS.
My response was one of both paranoia (they knew where I lived and what I'd written about COS in the past) and curiosity. I will be honest, they were very friendly and good-natured and tried to assuage me of any concern I had, explaining point by point how they had kept tabs on me and my husband's COS coverage of the years and merely wanted to give us information on the rich history of Scientology. Nothing threatening, but I must admit, I found it vaguely eerie how aware they were of my comings and goings.
When searching for some corroborating data to Ian's assertions, I found Defamer's post on the subject on Friday, and I discovered the exact same thing had happened to author Andrew Morton when his book was on the verge of being published here. Those stories can be found here.
I have seen several websites devoted to exposing the corruption and illegal activities of the Church of Scientology. Too many to list. Just Google, Scientology, scare tactics and see for yourself. Above is an over-the-top, but frightening account of how dangerous the Church may be. I have no proof any of what is alleged in the video is true, but the saying of "where there's smoke, there's fire" may be prophetic in this case.
Don't forget, check into Glosslip Radio tonight, 10:00pm for an special 90-minute segment of the show when Eric Olsen of Blogcritics.org and myself will attempt to get an inside look at COS through the eyes of someone who's been there.
