ED/OKRon Hubba rond: M 07/22/14arch 2002 Page 2 of 7 Mr. David Miscavige Chairman of the Board, Religious Technology Center Opening Address In honor of L. Ron Hubbard’s Birthday 2002 But the climax of this story follows from a meeting between a Narconon executive, and CNN’s Chief of Public Service Broadcasting. Now normally, a station will only run someone’s PSA for 4 to 8 weeks, at the outside. But here’s what that CNN executive wanted to know: Could Narconon provide another PSA? Or as that network actually phrased it, so long as Narconon can supply their message, CNN will run it. Now, given that, it is absolutely no wonder the number of those now contacting Narconon, is ten-times over last year. In fact, Arrowhead itself receives 700 phone calls every week, requesting help. They are, quite literally, bursting at the seams, even building bunk beds to accommodate the flow of students. And beyond that, every other US Narconon is also filled to capacity. All of which brings us to Arrowhead’s second crucial role: to serve as a “generation plant,” by training professionals to open new Narconons. And Arrowhead has taken on that role in a truly global sense. For example, there’s the Siberian region of Irkutsk. It’s larger than France and England combined. https://web.archive.org/web/20040904192207/http://www.lronhubbardtribute.org/iv/speeches/lrhbd2002/page04.htm 1/3 6/14/2014 6:14-cv-00187-RAW DocumentDavid Miscavig e261-8 Presents a FiledTribute tino L . ED/OKRon Hubba rond: M 07/22/14arch 2002 Page 3 of 7 And while it may seem pretty far afield, it’s also got a serious problem. As a matter of fact, nearly one out of every three males between the ages of 18 and 20 uses narcotics. So one Narconon graduate decided to do something very serious about it. Specifically, he connected up with a team of trained personnel, to establish Narconon Krasnoyarsk. That’s not only a first for Narconon — it’s the first rehab center, of any type, for the whole of Siberia. And on March the first, it was officially opened with a ribbon cutting led by no less than the governor of the entire region! But that Siberian Narconon is only part of the picture. Because, just since last September, Arrowhead has opened new rehab and education centers, at the rate of about one per week. In Russia, it included Ufa, Chelny, Barnaul, Tolyatti, Padolsk, and Chelyabinsk. Then there was Italy, with Milano, Lucca, Monza, Pescara, and La Tenuta. And extending even further afield, there was Johannesburg; Ghana; Belgium; Karachi, Pakistan; Bombay, India; not to mention, Florida and Great Lakes USA. That’s four countries opened for the first time, and 20 new centers in just the last seven months! But there’s a bigger story. And it follows from just how L. Ron Hubbard technology is viewed, by other professionals in the field. The story begins with the National Board of Addictions Examiners. It’s one of America’s leading authorities, charged with ensuring quality drug rehabilitation services. Their certification carries a lot of weight in the field. It’s often a prerequisite to securing insurance, state or federal funding. In order to even apply for Board certification, applicants must have a college degree and further training, in a specific field. https://web.archive.org/web/20040904192207/http://www.lronhubbardtribute.org/iv/speeches/lrhbd2002/page04.htm 2/3 6/14/2014 6:14-cv-00187-RAW DocumentDavid Miscavig e261-8 Presents a FiledTribute tino L .

ED/OKRon Hubba rond: M 07/22/14arch 2002 Page 5 of 7 Mr. David Miscavige Chairman of the Board, Religious Technology Center Opening Address In honor of L. Ron Hubbard’s Birthday 2002 But when Narconon staff briefed the Board, on L. Ron Hubbard drug rehab technology and how their staff are trained — it changed their whole “think.” And how dramatic was that change? As of tonight, no less than 22 Arrowhead staff have now been recognized as, Certified Chemical Dependency Counselors. Moreover, training in L. Ron Hubbard technology at Narconon, now officially replaces all college training requirements. And finally, Narconon executives have now been welcomed to the Board, with authority to verify completion of those requirements, themselves. Now that’s L. Ron Hubbard technology leading the way, for the entire field of drug rehabilitation! Then there is the program which embraces them all, and our most important in reversing the downward trend of society: The Volunteer Minister Program. Needless to say, the most vital component of this campaign is you — meaning the Volunteer Ministers. Since you were last briefed, the number in training has only increased. As a matter of fact, at no time in history have so many Scientologists been on the same course, at the same time. And as we celebrate L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday, the number of active Volunteer Ministers (VM) now exceeds 15,400! https://web.archive.org/web/20040910013349/http://www.lronhubbardtribute.org/iv/speeches/lrhbd2002/page05.htm 1/3 6/14/2014 6:14-cv-00187-RAW DocumentDavid Miscavig e261-8 Presents a FiledTribute tino L . ED/OKRon Hubba rond: M 07/22/14arch 2002 Page 6 of 7 Then again there is our campaign that “SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT.” And it has continued to roll out. The billboards carrying our messages are in cities across the world, from Hollywood to Hamburg, and from Brescia, to right here in Tampa — literally thousands in all. And that’s all in addition to our message now running on radio and television. And it’s a good thing so many of you trained up. Because, as of tonight, over 60,000 people have contacted the VM Hotline Unit — more than 6,000 per week. But that figure is only going to increase. Because, our VM groups are also starting to get their message out on every imaginable channel, as this last one illustrates. In San Diego, they decided to target the source of the false solutions. Specifically: the legal drug industry. Of course, it’s the most insidious suppression, responsible for the state of society today. The big lie that emotions are just so much chemical reaction, to be tinkered with by taking the right pill. Which brings us to San Diego, and one of the largest pharmacy chains in America. And while we can’t stop doctors from writing “prescriptions”, we can let people know the real answer. So, for the next twelve months, every single bag used to fill those prescriptions — hundreds-of-thousands in all — will now contain our toll free number and the message: “No Matter how bad it is — SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT!” But most important are the actions of our VM’s and what they are doing. As a first note, the effectiveness of our VM’s at Ground Zero continues to spread. https://web.archive.org/web/20040910013349/http://www.lronhubbardtribute.org/iv/speeches/lrhbd2002/page05.htm 2/3 6/14/2014 6:14-cv-00187-RAW DocumentDavid Miscavig e261-8 Presents a FiledTribute tino L .

  • MLK Parade Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 19, 2012 CONTACT: Patricia Harris (323) 960-3500 [email protected] Scientology Volunteer Ministers of Inglewood March in Support of Martin Luther King Day of Service In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy, Volunteer Ministers of the Church of Scientology of Inglewood marched on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Los Angeles January 16, in observation of Martin Luther King Day of Service 2012. Brass bands, cheerleaders, drill teams, gang intervention groups, law enforcement officers and government officials filled the street. And thousands of spectators waived and cheered along the 2.5-mile parade route, barely hearing friends greeting them with “Happy King Day” over the blare of air horns. The 27th annual Kingdom Day Parade honored Dr. King, whose message of freedom and nonviolence inspires people of all faiths, backgrounds and ages. In the spirit of the day—a day of service—at the end of the parade, the Inglewood Scientology Volunteer Ministers welcomed the community to an information booth where they introduced visitors to services available at the new Inglewood Church of Scientology and the Scientology Community Center in South L.A.: free tutoring, one-on-one help, and a wide selection of courses in practical life-skills—from improving job performance to conflict resolution, salvaging marriages and helping a friend or loved one overcome addiction. The Church of Scientology of Inglewood, at 315 South Market Street, is open from 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

    BOOK 4.book Page 1 Monday, October 1, 2001 4:06 PM SCIENTOLOGY Making the World a Better Place Founded and developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is an applied religious philosophy which offers an exact route through which anyone can regain the truth and simplicity of his spiritual self. Scientology consists of specific axioms that define the underlying causes and principles of existence and a vast area of observations in the humanities, a philosophic body that literally applies to the entirety of life. This broad body of knowledge resulted in two applications of the subject: first, a technology for man to increase his spiritual awareness and attain the freedom sought by many great philosophic teachings; and, second, a great number of fundamental principles men can use to improve their lives. In fact, in this second application, Scientology offers nothing less than practical methods to better every aspect of our existence—means to create new ways of life. And from this comes the subject matter you are about to read. Compiled from the writings of L. Ron Hubbard, the data presented here is but one of the tools which can be found in The Scientology Handbook. A comprehensive guide, the handbook contains numerous applications of Scientology which can be used to improve many other areas of life. In this booklet, the editors have augmented the data with a short introduction, practical exercises and examples of successful application. Courses to increase your understanding and further materials to broaden your knowledge are available at your nearest Scientology church or mission, listed at the back of this booklet.

Uncovering the Anti-Queer Sentiment in the Dianetic Perspective At present, there is a groundswell of public sensational interest in the subject of Scientology; and, in fact, in the time since I began this research paper, a nine-episode documentary series has premiered and reached finale on A&E titled “Scientology and the Aftermath”— a personal project hosted by sitcom celebrity, ex-Scientologist, and author of Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology, Leah Remini.1 I could not begin to enumerate the myriad exposés/memoirs of ex-Scientologists that have been published in recent years nor could I emphasize enough the rampant conspiracy theories that are at the disposal of any curious mind on what many have termed “the cult” of Scientology.

  • 20170102-Gary-Soter-To-Nancy-Dubic-R.Pdf
    Law Offices of GARY S. SOTER Ms. Nancy Dubuc January 2, 2017 Page 2 • On December 25, the Washington Post wrote: “In a statement released on Christmas Eve, an A&E spokesman said the network learned that the show’s producers - from a third-party production company - made cash payments to “facilitate access” to participants, which violates A&E policy... Though some reality TV producers do pay their subjects, the network emphasized that it is against this practice for documentaries.” (emphasis added) • On December 28, Variety wrote: “A&E declined to comment to Variety on whether participants in ‘Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath’ were paid - other than Remini, who is an executive producer on the docuseries. But, an insider close to the network tells Variety that even if participants were paid, financial payments would be common practice for participants in a television docuseries.” (emphasis added). Tellingly, A&E has declined to comment on whether anyone other than Ms. Remini is being paid. That silence speak volumes, raising questions if, like the KKK show, the sources in Ms. Remini’s series were paid. (Church officials have confirmed that Mike Rinder, the interview subject of the entire second segment and an interview subject in subsequent segments, was indeed paid.) Slauson Productions unambiguously described both Ms. Remini and Mr. Rinder as subjects for their series. In his letter of August 3, 2016, Alex Weresow declined to meet with Church representatives unless the meeting were to: “involve our key subjects, including but not limited to Leah Remini and Mike Rinder.” The same letter, describes Mike Rinder as a “victim, witness, or both.” Both are being paid for their participation.

  • Church of Scientology Nashville Mobilizes Scientology Volunteer Ministers to Cope with Floods
    6 May 2010 For Immediate Release Church of Scientology Nashville Mobilizes Scientology Volunteer Ministers to Cope with Floods NASHVILLE—The Church of Scientology & Celebrity Centre Nashville mobilized Volunteer Ministers to staff shelters at Lipscomb University and McGavock High School over the weekend when the Cumberland River overflowed its banks and flooded downtown Nashville, causing thousands of residents and visitors to evacuate homes and hotels. Flooding began in low areas and valleys and within 36 hours the Cumberland River overflowed into downtown. Vehicles were swept away, homes were engulfed and authorities were rescuing stranded residents by boat. Muddy water cascaded into The Grand Ole Opry House and Country Music Hall of Fame and forced the evacuation of 1,500 guests and 500 staff from the Opryland Hotel. The Scientology Volunteer Ministers worked with the Red Cross and other community groups to aid evacuees in shelters at Lipscomb University and McGavock High School, including providing food services. They helped evacuated hotel guests find their luggage and make their way to the airport and home. Scientologists also volunteered at a shelter set up at the Jewish Community Center for stranded residents of Belle Meade and Bellevue and helped evacuate tenants of an apartment complex that was about to be engulfed. With waters now receded, the volunteers are helping residents with the daunting task of cleaning up flood damage. “We started with our parishioners whose homes were badly damaged. Now we are going through neighborhoods checking at each home to see if they need help,” said Julie Forney, Public Affairs Director for the Nashville Church of Scientology.
