>1 RPF Insider background

On January 25, 2005, Chuck Beatty posted the following background on the "RPF Insider" series:

Chuck Beatty (un scientologue de haut niveau ayant quitté la secte en 2005, au bout de 25 ans) nous informe qu'il y a deux ou trois mois, des individus se présentant comme des scientologues désirant quitter la scientologie ont ptis contact avec lui. Il s'agissait en réalité d'spions des services OSA, qui tentèrent de lui soutirer des informations, de relayer les menaces réelles du mouvement envers lui, de le fâcher avec un autre membre du goulag, etc.

"About 2-3 months ago, two ex-RPFers contacted me, both feigned 'on the fence' fake disaffection, but almost terrifiedly asked I not out them.

They both were OSA accomplices. Both were covertly pumping me for info, trying to relay threats to me, trying to steer me away from another ex-RPFer, and trying to gather info on the RPF Insider.

The first ex-RPFer was working on me for about 6 phone calls. The second ex-RPFer only called me twice. The second ex-RPFer unfortunately confirmed for me what I suspected, that OSA was 'worried' about an even more 'hot' ex-RPFer who they were worried would contact me and blab.

(I was hoping OSA would stop this petty stuff, because if they did, then there'd be no Scn dirty tricks to be exposed. LRH was not hitting on all cylinders. LRH lampooned the insane PR man character in the Mission Earth books, but LRH failed to see he'd set up the Guardian's Office and OSA to act just like that wacky PR man's PR firm.)

PS: I have always been hoping that someday, a brilliant wog literary critic, would suffer through all of LRH's fiction works, and ponder on how much of LRH himself is reflected in his characters, good and bad, in his hundreds of stories. It is looking more like no one in the literary world will ever elevate LRH to the level of person to warrant such attention. (Danny Sherman, Bill Widder and Norman Starkey might manage something along these lines, someday in the LRH bio, if it ever
comes out, but maybe not.)

Recruitment at California grocers

Recrutement chez des épiciers californiens

Résumé: on a observé que des scientologues recrutaient à San José (Californie) au moyen de leur test sur l'électromètre hubbard.

On January 18, 2005, Monica Pignotti posted

"... I found someone selling Dianetics books and doing e-meter pinch tests outside of Albertsons grocery store in San
Jose, California yesterday. Needless to say, I interrupted the session! I've seen the same kind of set up at a nearby Barnes & Noble, but I hadn't seen this at a grocery store before. Has anyone else noticed this being done in any other cities? ..."

Infomercial in New Hampshire press

Annonce payante dans le Rockingam News du New Hampshire à propos de l'activité scientologue auprès des victimes du Tsunami.

Posted on January 23, 2005: the Rockingham News of New Hampshire did a Scientology tsunami infomercial. An article reported on a local resident who was involved in several community projects:
