The Infowarrior

Religion is free???

Then why does it relieve billions in tax breaks and donations and grants each year?

L.Ron Hubbard is a seriously sick and twisted individual who has been linked with freemasonry and the Illuminati and is a known Satanist. Is it really any wonder that a religion of his own making would be sick and twisted too?

                                       They are stepping forward — from Dallas and Denver, Portland, Las Vegas, Montana — talking about what happened, to them and their friends, during their years in the Church of Scientology.

                                       Gary Morehead dredged up his recollection of Scientology leader David Miscavige punishing venerable church leaders by forcing them to live out of tents for days, wash with a garden hose and use an open latrine.

                                       Steve Hall replayed his memory of a meeting when Miscavige grabbed the heads of two church executives and knocked them together. One came away with a bloody ear.

                                       Mark Fisher remembered precisely what he told Miscavige after the punches stopped and Fisher touched his head, looked at his palm and saw blood.

                                       Now their stories have prompted other former Scientology veterans to go public about physical and mental abuses they say they witnessed and endured.
