ANTON LORIEN using Afghan Heroes in attempt to launch his pop career




Reviews of Anton Lorien’s WE ARE THE BRITS


❝Arrrgghhh its hurting my head! Managed to watch about a minute of that shit before facing the stark choice of either putting my fist through the monitor or turning it off, I went with the latter. ❞

❝Look at this complete fucking anus❞

anton and john

  • Anton Lorien recruited Natalie Milsom into Scientology, and has transformed her personality.
  • John Simons, a stranger, made a late night visit to the home of Natalie’s mother, to serve a disconnection notice. (To warn her not to contact her daughter anymore)

This has been covered in the Daily Telegraph

Rather than buying this awful song, please donate directly to Afghan Heroes. If you buy this atrocity of ‘song’, at least 30% goes to Apple, and no doubt Anton will deduct studio costs. This song is a cynical move to launch his career.

Musical pair release charity song in aid of Afghan Heroes


MUSICIANS from East Grinstead are helping to support brave members of Britain's armed forces.
Anton Lorien and John Simons, who live in Badgers Way, have co-written a song entitled We Are The Brits in support of the charity Afghan Heroes.

  • Songwriters Anton Lorien (front) and John Simons

Mr Lorien, 26, said: "We really wanted to give something back, and make the soldiers and the whole of the UK proud to be British."
The charity was formed last year by the mothers of soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
They first met when they went to collect their sons' bodies at RAF Lyneham and decided to start the charity.
Mr Lorien said: "The music is there to remind everyone why our armed forces are out there and the fact that they are keeping us safe."
The song took around eight months to create, from the idea to production.
"It was all worth it. It was hard work and certainly a little stressful at times, but it was all for a good cause."
The song's aim is to support and help the servicemen and women on the frontline and the families of the fallen as well as traumatised soldiers returning from service.
Afghan Heroes is the only charity to focus specifically on these things.
Mr Simons, 62, who plays guitar on the track, said: "The song is supposed to be a celebration of the soldiers coming home and the work they are doing out in Afghanistan.
"I really hope people enjoy the single, because the majority of the proceeds from it are going straight to the charity."
Mr Simons added: "We want this song to make people proud they are British."
The song can be downloaded online and is available for anyone who wants to buy it from iTunes.

Work 15-year-olds 100 hours a week for 35 cents an hour in a labor camp they can't leave? Yep, that's

Scientology's Shocking Treatment of Children Held in a Suburban Labor Camp



Shocking news this morning from journalist Bryan Seymour in Australia. In a story for the program TodayTonight that took him more than a year to put together, Seymour blows the lid off a re-education camp operated by Scientology in a suburb of Sydney, where children as young as eight years old have worked long hours for no pay. One of those kids, Shane Kelsey, now 21, finally left the camp last year, and Seymour was there to film Shane's reunion with his father, who now feels horrible guilt for leaving the boy in the camp to begin with. At only 8 years old, Shane signed a billion-year contract with Scientology's Sea Organization and was working 35 hours a week -- by the time he was 15, he was working 100 hours, for about $35 a week.



[Written by Kevin Mackay]

Since Shane Kelsey was freed from the RPF around early December by his father with the help or at least advice and info from BIA several Scientology critics have been discussing a serious issue. That is, how does the Sea Org get to hold people against their will. In the RPF and on the decks of any SO unit there are those held by threat and even under guard.

We investigated and found a whole lot more than we bargained for.

On Sunday the 19th of December exes and Anons converged on 16 Dohary st. Dundas, the premises of CLO ANZO and the prison for many hapless RPFers. Our mission was to take away three RPFers who we were informed wanted to leave and were in effect being held prisoner. Now if it is ever substantiated that RPFers have in fact been held against their will under Australian law it would constitute aggravated kidnap which carries up to 25 years imprisonment. Link

We had previously set up accommodation, jobs, free legal and an allowance from international aid agencies aware of and concerned by the illegal detainment of people in the RPF.

We had a list of names from BIA and from some the recently blown SO from ANZO. In total we had six names but our primary focus was three that we'd had confirmed that definitely wanted to leave.

The first was Matt Faye, an Aussie who grew up in the SO, his mother is the NOTS C/S at the AO and he hasn't known anything else. I remember him as a kid of 12 who I saw around the AO after the GAT. The next is Brian Curry, he is a US citizen and was Shane Kelsey's twin. He had been wanting to leave for years and now was in the RPF's RPF as his twin escaped three weeks prior. He was heading there anyway because he was so intent on leaving and as many of you know that is the "standard" handling for nor being happy in the RPF.

The third was Carol Miles, a British subject, she was the Port Captain on the Freewinds and was RPFed for being a security risk and wanting to route out. This is what Mike Rinder said about it;

.......Others haven’t been so lucky. One of the Ship Engineers was severely disaffected with Captain Love Boat after several run-ins with him. He became increasingly enturbulated and was not sleeping. He was put under 24 hour watch with full time guards and video cameras in his room. He was not handled with standard tech and ended up committing suicide by hanging himself in the shower with a sheet. The entire incident was covered up so as not to create a “flap.” False information was given to the authorities.Carol Miles, the Public Officer and public face of the Freewinds has disappeared. I guess, like Heber, nobody dares ask where she is. In fact, she was being “handled” under the brilliant guidance of CO CMO Ship (Sue Price) with her special style of “executive C/Sing”. Carol’s “handlings” didn’t go well. She made threats and became a security risk. And what happens to inmates on the prison ship when they are too hot to handle? They get shipped off to the prison colony – the RPF in CLO ANZO, in Sydney.Quite a number of “problem” staff have been routed to the ANZO RPF. It is thought to be so remote that anyone sent there has effectively been “disappeared”. Like the 3 Gold staff who were banished to the ANZO RPF after they pissed off Dear Leader. Those 3 (Karl Whitcher, Kip Engen and Nicolai Ciferrelli) were assigned to do the RPF twice through. They have been there since 2004. One of them completed the first time through last year – imagine 6 years of sec checking, FPRD and TRD and now having to do it all over again!So, this is where Carol Miles is. She joined other “security risks” banished to the prison colony – including the former IG MAA Chris Guider who had fallen from grace when he refused to comply with an order from Miscavige to hit a Gold staff member with his swagger stick and the ex-RTC Rep FSO who knew all about Miscavige’s involvement in the McPherson matter

About Myself
Hello, my name is George Baillie, and here is a little bit about myself:
I got into Scientology in September, 1970. I was on Academy Level 0, as a public and joined staff in the Toronto Organization in May 1971. I continued my auditor training but as a member of the Technical Training Corps in that organization. I trained up to Class 5 Graduate and audited 55-60 hours per week. I went to the Apollo in Sept 1973 and did the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course and other courses. I graduated and returned to Toronto in January 1975. I stayed on staff until May 1983. I have been a full time Field Staff Member and Field Auditor since that time. I have also operated a Scientology Mission in Halifax, Nova Scotia from 1988 until 1994. My case level is OT 8.

My Success in Scientology
I trained under L. Ron Hubbard on the Sea Organization Motor Vessel, Apollo and learned an incredible amount about counseling a pre-clear. The competence I gained from this and Scientology helped me in every area of my life.

Comparing Steve Jobs to L Ron Hubbard?

Emily at The Metro asks if they are similar.

Steve Jobs was a true genius. His work is subject to peer-review.

L Ron Hubbard was a twat. (Peer-review? You would be declared an SP and be subject to fair-game attacks.)


Similarities Between Apple & Scientology

What is a cult?
Every cult can be defined as a group having all of the following five characteristics:
Charateristic
Scientology
Apple
It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate and retain its members
Yes
No. It's appealing to lazy people (like me) or people who don't want to wrestle with their technology. They pay a premium (a stupid tax, sort of)
It forms an elitist totalitarian society.
Yes, they're striving to 'Clear' the planet, and create a new civilisation.
No!
Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable and has charisma.
Yes. Same goes for Miscavige, who carried the torch.
Sort of, but : no. Neither Woz nor Jobs were non-accountable, they have a board of directors and shareholders! They're scrutinised like a mo-fo. Yes, Jobs had adulation, but for good reason.
It believes 'the end justifies the means' in order to solicit funds recruit people.
Yes, everything is about making money and recruiting new people.
Nope
Its wealth does not benefit its members or society.
Rank-and-file scientologists are financially raped, and society is 'blessed' with suicides etc.
Apple has piles of cash, this benefits future research and development, and their stock price benefits their shareholders. Apple employees get paid wages, which they don't (and can't) 'donate' back to the company.

Delicious video footage: Russian Police Raid $cientology shop. Use sledgehammer to smash locked areas

In the "School of Scientology", which is the center of Moscow today raided by investigators. In a chic, equipped with the latest technology spiritual center, participants suggested that the specialized literature for hundreds of thousands of rubles. Among the books there were also banned in Russia works which, according to experts, the destroyed minds and human health.

NTV correspondent Artyom Kolodkin watched as police foiled a lesson.

Taganskaya, 9, a beautiful sign "School of Scientology." When investigators and special forces arrived here early in the morning, in the dim room practically no one there, although the computers in the rooms included. Other rooms were closed, police had to open the locks.

The only office where there are no doors or locks, - a study of the founder of the teachings. It is, of course, never was, a kind of museum where all his works. Including members of the list of extremist literature, is banned in Russia.

Law-enforcement official: "Did you know that this book is on the list?"
Maria Milchakova, director of official matters, "No, I do not know. If you show me a list, I know. "

A set of books and lectures - 169 thousand rubles. Video course on disk for a computer - and even more, nearly 400 thousand! With such prices on textbooks, not surprisingly, in this religious center of all the most modern and expensive, such as cinema. All disks that are sold at the reception, you can watch for free. It's sort of room for relaxation.

In fact, visitors to call the school pupils are not quite right. Beginners followers of Scientology - preclears, teachers - auditors. Scientology itself is called a conflict of spiritual philosophy. And this conflict, is not difficult to guess with the law. Many people, including physicians, believe it destroys human conscience literature and injure the psyche. That's why part of the works under a ban
Moscow police search scientology church

Moscow, October 6, Interfax - Moscow police have been searching the Church of Scientology on Taganskaya Street since Thursday morning, a law enforcement source has told Interfax.

The search could be part of a criminal investigation by the Moscow region's Investigative Committee into the distribution of scientology literature of the extremist nature, the source said.

No official confirmation of this report has been immediately available.

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy founded by American Ron Hubbard.

In late June, the Prosecutor General's Office declared several of Hubbard's books extremist.

Earlier, the Prosecutor's Office of the town of Schyolkovo near Moscow petitioned the city court to ban extremist materials by scientology's founder. The court upheld the plea.

Once the ruling comes into force, the banned literature is automatically included into the list of extremist materials barred from distribution in Russia.

In May, scientologists claimed that the Justice Ministry had excluded Hubbard's books from the "black list."
I am speechless.

Well, almost.

Those poor Scientologists, having the sanctity of their church violated. All those doors smashed down and books and DVDs seized. Oh, the humanity!

What could they have possibly done to pull this in? Oh, wait…

Arnie, I imagine that you must have a bit of difficulty keeping the grin off your face.

Just shows you though – Karma is a bitch!

Axiom142
If there is evidence of crime in the "Org" what do you think the cops should do?
Wait at the door while the scientologists go inside and put all the evidence in envelopes and bring it back out and give it to the cops? Hasn't worked before.

Stop thinking "religious group" and start thinking "criminal organization" "subversive political group". Like the Germans. Works for them

Degraded Being
A good day for you Arnie..

France , Germany, Israel, and more from Russia.


wait for the religious discrimination card

Miscavige is getting gang banged 6 ways a day.

Revealed: Secret war on the Scientologist 'mafia' launched by Wilson government in 1970s

By Marc Horne
Last updated at 4:47 PM on 7th August 2011

Suspicious: Prime Minister Harold Wilson wanted to keep track of Scientologists

The Church of Scientology was considered such a threat to the UK that in 1975 the Government put its members under secret surveillance, according to newly released files.
Previously classified documents reveal that Ministers wanted to undermine and discredit the group because it was said to be ‘mafia-like’ and its activities ‘harmful and evil’.
They believed senior Scientologists were inflicting ‘barbaric’ punishments on followers and drove them away from their families.
The papers show the Government held clandestine meetings to discuss how to reduce the activities of Scientologists in the UK, which included moves to tax the church’s income and turn down visa applications from foreign members.
Today, the Church of Scientology attracts a celebrity following, particularly among Hollywood’s elite. Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and John Travolta are among its supporters.

However, it has been claimed it is a cult that defrauds its followers by charging them exorbitant fees.
The documents, contained in secret files on Scientology and placed in the National Archives, reveal that in July 1975, the then Home Secretary Roy Jenkins hosted a summit on how best to rid Britain of the group.

Secret base: Scientology's British headquarters at Saint Hill, East Grinstead, Sussex

Ministers of Harold Wilson’s Labour Government agreed to begin undermining the group, and a 1976 document entitled Action To Curb Scientologists reads: ‘Police forces should build up as detailed a composite picture as possible of the organisation’s activities.’

L Ron Hubbard

Founding father: L Ron Hubbard, creator of the Church of Scientology

Scientology, founded by American sci-fi author L. Ron Hubbard in 1954, was the subject of much scepticism at the time. A 1968 exclusion order, based on the idea that followers of the so-called religion were ‘socially harmful’, banned foreign members from entering the UK.
In 1975, internal correspondence from the Home Office said: ‘The Church of Scientology does not merely persuade people to part with their money. It is a harmful movement with an evil reputation.’
It classified the group as ‘an organisation designed to make money, and perhaps also to gain power’ which targeted ‘the anxious, the lonely, the inadequate, the credulous and deluded’.
The papers added: ‘It is obtaining large sums of money for its courses on the strength of wild claims that they will cure all sorts of physical and mental ills.’
Further Government material said to be based on Scientology documents claimed there was evidence of abuse.
It says: ‘Members have been imprisoned for 48 hours in a hatch which was too small to allow them to lie down or stand up and a water hose was frequently turned on them.
'Others have been ordered to work for 48 hours in the bowels of a ship in darkness, chipping away rust with a 15-minute break every six hours.’

tom cruise and katie” border=

Prominent members: Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes are both Scientologists

One police report sent to Scottish Office Ministers noted: ‘The organisation is mafia-like in its hold on adherents and rarely, if ever, does one relinquish voluntarily his membership.’
The Church of Scientology sent The Mail on Sunday a seven-page response denying the alleged abuses and providing 45 pages of additional information.
Spokesman Graeme Wilson said the archive papers were a ‘snapshot’ of ‘government harassment’, adding: ‘The Government of the United Kingdom owes the Church of Scientology an apology for this atrocious treatment.’

The Art of Noshi-do Lesson 4: How to Defend your Brain (Part B)
stephen cook
6. STOP READING THE NEWSPAPERS I kid you not. You'll be surprised how much better you will feel after not reading the newspapers or watching the news for a while (or surfing the internet). With certain noble exceptions such as The Sussex Newspaper, much of the media bombards us morning, noon and night with bad news upon bad news, unsolvable problem upon unsolvable problem, usually dressed up to be as gruesome as possible. It's hardly surprising then that people can get depressed. The media might be doing its bit to bolster pharmaceutical sales but we can just skip it. Try it for a while and see how you feel.

8. DO DIANETICS
This is a personal recommendation, having tried it for myself. If you want to understand your own mind and what makes you and other people tick, if you want to know the source of the neuroses, fears and compulsions that beset us, then get a book on Dianetics and read it. This is the best remedy for depression I personally ever came across but it goes much further than that. It gives the likes of you and me the tools with which to help ourselves and one another. It is well worth giving it a go. Reading a book has no known side effects. This lesson follows on from Noshi-do, Lesson 4(a). It delineates the eight practical steps the novice can take to achieve safety for his brain. Stephen Cook is a professional writer whose satirical blog is at http://laughorbeshot.blogspot.com

I totally agree and have seen exactly what you are proposing to work every time. In this day and age it is easy to overlook the fact that our bodies might just be undernourished, over-tired or under-exercised for us to feel well. Somehow that immediately gets translated into depression instead. Also putting and keeping our attention on negative happenings instead of creating art, objects, circumstances of value will undoubtedly lead to depression.

And thirdly I have used Dianetics with many, many people over the last 36 years and I have never seen it not bring relief and joy to a person's life. Unraveling an annoyingly unhappy mystery is always such a relief when you finally see the truth of it so you can at last handle it! I am very grateful to have the data to help others by either referring them to it or using it to help others. It's a very good point to make. Thank you for sharing it!

kizzi nkowcha, apparently
from [guardian.co.uk]
Kizzi Nkwocha is another man who has vowed to give Max Clifford a run for his money. Nkwocha, a former News of the World journalist with 'trademark' bleached-blond hair, runs an agency called 15 Minutes, brokering the confessions of the not-very rich and not-yet famous. His website promises to put you in touch with a 'personal robot representative' with whom you can share details of your 'unique lifestyle' or an 'unusual personal experience you want to relate to the public'. Mostly this means that Nkwocha supplies the daytime talk shows with clients prepared to come clean about their secrets and fears and addictions.
He says he'd like to suggest that he'd got out of tabloid newspapers - out of 'kicking and tricking people' - for altruistic motives, but mostly it was a business decision. He receives, he claims, around 1,000 emails a day, of which 70 per cent are 'probably uninteresting', but around a third of which will give him pause. 'This morning,' he tells me, giggling, he's 'received a note from a woman who believes she has the largest nipples in the world and wants me to set up a competition to prove it.'
When the agency began, it was almost exclusively providing guests for Kilroy and Trisha and Vanessa, and the great thing was, says Nkwocha, that you could tell the same story over and over again through different outlets all over the world. He could flog reformed wife beaters to America and export home-
grown swingers to Germany.
The appetite for such confessions seems to stem directly from the trajectory of such stories as Allwood's. If there is a currency of our times, as she suggests, it is our desire to judge others in public in order to get a sense of how we might judge ourselves in private. Perhaps because our own mores and ethics are so uncertain, because there are few acceptable standards of public behaviour, we like to test our sense of morality against these real-life dramas. That this prurience now comes in the guise of group therapy makes it all the more seductive.
'People talk about a vicarious world where we get our fix of social interaction sort of second-hand, and I think that's true to a certain extent,' says Nkwocha. 'But also we want to know all the secrets of other people's lives, and see how they match up to our own.'
While this may explain the appeal of confessional shows, the desire to appear on them generally seems, at best, an act of desperation or misplaced egotism. 'It's like people have always wanted to walk into a party and be noticed,' says Nkwocha. 'But the difference now is that there are so many outlets for people to do that.'
Are there any stories he will turn down?
'The only thing I turn down is my collar,' he says, smiling. 'No, but they are all my babies, really. And' - without much irony - 'it's not really a product, it's dreams we are selling.'

Ex-Scientologist, David Craig, sues the cult for loss of girlfriend and business

Ex-Scientologist sues the cult for loss of girlfriend and business

A businessman is suing the Church of Scientology for hundreds of thousands of pounds, claiming that he lost his girlfriend and business after she became indoctrinated by the controversial self-styled church.

David Craig, who at one time joined the Scientologists, claims that he was persuaded to pay out more than £170,000 to the "spiritual cult" after his partner, Irina Glaser, was recruited by Scientologists. When, however, Mr Craig threatened to fight for custody of their infant son, he claims that Scientologists told him he would be expelled if he did not use their own judicial system to determine the case. The Scientologists did not wish to use what they referred to as "wog courts" (a derogatory term for the mainstream legal system), according to court documents seen by The Independent on Sunday.

The 48-year-old, from Lyndhurst, Hampshire, eventually left the church in 2004, according to court papers. Now his impending High Court case threatens to expose the inner workings of the notoriously secretive organisation. Last week an Australian senator labelled Scientology a "criminal organisation", and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd hinted at his support for an inquiry into the organisation when he said: "I share some of those concerns."

In France, Scientology is currently embroiled in a landmark case where it has been accused of ruining lives and illegally prescribing drugs. The German government has recently moved to ban the organisation.

Founded by the science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard in 1954, Scientology now claims millions of supporters across the world, with the Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and John Travolta among famous devotees. Scientologists, who believe humans are descended from a race of aliens, claim that they can purify the human mind through a process called "auditing" or counselling.

Mr Craig claims that Ms Glaser joined the Scientologists after she attended a psychic fair in December 1999. Ms Glaser, who allegedly had "mental health issues", was attracted by the organisation's claim that it could cure all mental illnesses and that conventional psychiatry did not work. For several days afterwards the pair were allegedly "inundated" with calls from the Scientology mission in Poole, Dorset, in order to "encourage them to join the cult". In January 2000 the couple attended the mission and, after a "personal efficiency test", were told that auditing would rid Ms Glaser of her illness. She then "followed their advice and instruction", giving up her medication and undertaking a series of expensive courses. During 2001 she "immersed" herself in the organisation, eventually joining the staff at its East Grinstead headquarters in Sussex. She cut off almost anyone she was unable to persuade to join the church.

Mr Craig says he was "persuaded to give substantial sums of money to the cult" during 2001 and 2002 for Ms Glaser's treatment, his own auditing and the "work of the cult". But when he became "more concerned about the conduct of Irina Glaser" he told Scientologists at the Poole mission that he was prepared to go to court to fight for custody of their six-year-old son. Mr Craig was told by the Scientologists that he should use "the cult's own 'court'", the claim states.

After leaving the church in 2004, Mr Craig was told that he was expelled from the organisation because he had involved it in court hearings about his son. It is understood the boy now lives with his father. Mr Craig, who declined to comment, is claiming compensation for the loss of earnings and also the loss of his business. The church had told him not to challenge the loss of his business franchises in 2002, which he claims were worth £750,000. He is also claiming for legal fees.

The businessman claims that while he was "under the actual undue influence" of the church he also paid out £170,000 in fees and donations. Although £30,000 of this was repaid by the church, according to the court papers, he is now demanding the balance of £140,000.

Ms Glaser is believed to be a member of the church still. No date has yet been set for the full hearing. Mr Craig's solicitor, Clare Kirby, declined to comment.

A Church of Scientology spokeswoman said yesterday: "It is a nuisance, because it attempts to reopen something which was fully resolved in 2007. As far as we are concerned, it is in breach of the agreement Mr Craig made then. At a time when our church is enjoying unprecedented growth it is not unexpected that some disgruntled or self-serving individuals might seek to profit from our expansion, or for other reasons try to cause disruption."

against

 

 

IRINA GLASER

 

 

Defender and Appellant

 
 
 

Act: Mrs Rowena McIntosh, solicitor, McIntosh McTaggart, Aberdeen
Alt: Mr Gareth Masson, solicitor, Adam Cochran, Aberdeen

 

Aberdeen: December 2004

The sheriff principal, having resumed consideration of the cause, refuses the appeal and adheres to the interlocutor of the sheriff dated 27 August 2004 under deletion where they twice appear of the words and figures "by 8 October 2004" and under deletion also of the words "on joint motion, sists the cause for the reports to become available"; reserves meantime the question of the expenses of the appeal and appoints parties to be heard thereon at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on 9th December 2004 at 2.15 pm.

 
 
 
 
 
Note

[1] The parties in this case are the parents of a child Cameron who was born in England on 30 August 2002. They are not married. In terms of crave 1 the pursuer and respondent seeks to have the defender and appellant interdicted from removing the child from his care and control or furth of this sheriffdom without his express written permission or by further order of the court. In terms of craves 2 and 3 he asks the court to find and declare that he is the father of the child and to find that he is entitled to parental rights and responsibilities in relation to him. And in terms of crave 4 he asks the court to make an order to the effect that the child should be required to reside with him.

[2] In article 2 of the condescendence it is averred that the habitual residence of the child is with the defender at an address in Dorset. This at once raises two questions, namely (1) what jurisdiction this court has to grant the interdict sought or to make a residence order in relation to the child (both of which would be Part I orders within the meaning of the Family Law Act 1986), and (2) how it comes about that the pursuer, whose address is in Aberdeen, is seeking to have the defender interdicted from removing the child from his care and control or furth of this sheriffdom.

[3] Neither of these questions is satisfactorily addressed in the pursuer's pleadings. In particular, although they are replete with allegations about how unfit the defender is to care for the child, the pursuer's averments do not explain the history of the parties' relationship since the birth of the child or how it comes about that, despite the averment about his habitual residence, he is apparently in the care of the pursuer at his home in Aberdeen. But it was explained during the hearing of the appeal, and I did not understand there to be any dispute, that after the birth of the child the parties had lived together as a family in England until March 2004. They had then separated and the child had remained in the care of the defender, the pursuer thereafter having contact with him on a regular basis. In particular, on 28 July 2004 (or so I have noted it, although I think the correct date may have been about 21 July 2004)) the pursuer had contact with the child overnight. But, instead of returning him to the defender the next day, he took him from Dorset to Aberdeen without the defender's consent. It was said that there had previously been a discussion between the parties in the course of which they had agreed in principle that the pursuer should have residential contact with the child. In light of the pursuer's removal of the child to Aberdeen, the defender indicated that she would collect the child in a week's time and treat that week as a period of residential contact. On 9 August 2004 she went to the pursuer's home in Aberdeen, removed the child and took him back to her own home in Dorset. But she brought him back to Scotland to attend a child welfare hearing at this court on 27 August 2004 and since then the child has been in the care of the pursuer at his home in Aberdeen.

[4] In the defences it is admitted that the child's habitual residence is with the defender at her home in Dorset. Even if this had not been admitted, it seems to me that the effect of section 41 of the Family Law Act 1986 would have been that the child would be treated as continuing to be habitually resident in England for a period of one year after he was removed by the pursuer from the care of the defender without her consent and taken to his home in Aberdeen.

[5] In answer 2 it is admitted that this court has jurisdiction and, when he came to address me, the defender's solicitor drew attention to section 6(e) of the Sheriff Courts (Scotland) Act 1907. This provides that any action competent in the sheriff court may be brought within the jurisdiction of the sheriff where the action is for interdict against an alleged wrong being committed or threatened to be committed within the jurisdiction. But this provision is expressly stated to be subject to Chapter III of Part I of the 1986 Act which includes section 8 to 12 inclusive of the Act. In its application to the sheriff court, section 12 provides that, notwithstanding that any other court, whether within or outside Scotland, has jurisdiction to entertain an application for a Part I order, the sheriff shall have jurisdiction to entertain such an application if the child concerned is in the sheriffdom on the date of the application and the sheriff considers that, for the protection of the child, it is necessary to make such an order immediately. The defender's solicitor accepted that both the interdict sought in terms of crave 1 and the residence order sought in terms of crave 4 were Part I orders within the meaning of the 1986 Act and further, as I understood him, that there was sufficient material in the pursuer's averments, in particular in relation to the likelihood of the child's sustaining injury in the event of his return to the defender's home, to entitle this court to assert its emergency jurisdiction under section 12. (In this context reference was also made to section 14(3) of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995).
[6] As already indicated, the pursuer's averments are replete with allegations about the defender's unfitness to care for the child. These are to be found in particular in articles 4, 5 and 6. (In passing, I observe that the author of these pleadings appears to have overlooked the wise advice in Macphail's Sheriff Court Practice (2nd Edn) at paragraph 9.46 to keep the articles of condescendence brief). Reference is made to a whole series of incidents in which the child was allegedly neglected by the defender in one way or another while in her care. It is said, for example, that on a number of occasions she left the child, while still a baby, unattended on a bed with the result that the child fell off and hurt himself. On another occasion it is said that she left the child unsupervised at the top of a flight of stairs and that the child fell all the way down these stairs. It is said that she left the child unsupervised beside her car by the road, that she allowed him to crawl and walk about upon kitchen work surfaces and sit next to open flames on a gas cooker, that he has frequently been covered in large bruises and on two occasions has sustained bad cuts, that she frequently transported him in a completely broken car seat, that she refused to purchase necessary medication for him, that she left him unattended in a high chair without fitting his safety harness onto him, that she permitted him to swallow stones and so on and so forth. The pursuer avers that he has constantly pointed out to the defender how seriously she puts the health and physical and mental well-being of the child at risk and that she has refused to receive any such advice from him. And he says that the child is at risk of serious physical injury due to her neglect of him and that in all the circumstances the interdict sought is necessary for the protection of the child.

[7] The action was raised on 27 July 2004 when Sheriff Harris granted a warrant to cite the defender and ad interim interdicted her from removing the child from the pursuer's care and control or furth of the sheriffdom without his express written permission or by further order of court. On 3 August 2004, on the motion of the pursuer and in the absence of the defender, the sheriff continued the interim interdict previously granted until further order of the court.

[8] On 10 August 2004 a motion was enrolled on behalf of the pursuer in terms of which he moved the court, inter alia, to ordain the defender to appear personally before the court to explain her failure to obtemper the interlocutors pronounced on 27 July and 3 August 2004 in respect that she had removed the child from the care and control of the pursuer and furth of the sheriffdom without his express written permission or by further order of court and to grant an interim residence order to the effect that the child should reside with the pursuer. On the same date, having heard the pursuer's agent on this motion, the sheriff dispensed with the requirement of intimation and induciae in respect of the motion and ordained the defender to appear personally before the court on 13 August 2004 to explain her failure to obtemper the earlier interlocutors. The sheriff continued consideration of that part of the motion which related to the granting of an interim residence order.

[9] On 13 August 2004 both parties were represented before Sheriff Cowan. Her interlocutor records that, on the motion of the defender, she continued the child welfare hearing until 27 August 2004, the defender having given an undertaking to appear at that hearing and to bring the child to Aberdeen. (The basis upon which the hearing before Sheriff Cowan fell to be treated as a child welfare hearing is not apparent from the papers in the case).

[10] On 27 August 2004 both parties appeared with their respective solicitors before Sheriff Cusine. The outcome of this hearing was that the sheriff pronounced an interlocutor in the following terms:

The Sheriff, Having heard parties' procurators on the Pursuer's motion made at the Bar to have the Defender found in contempt in respect of her failure to obtemper the Interlocutors dated 27 July and 4 August 2004 in respect that she removed the child, Cameron Ashley Bobby Craig, born 30 August 2002 from the care and control of the Pursuer, without the Pursuer's express written permission, or by further order of the Court; Continues consideration of the same; instructs the Sheriff Clerk to request the Process Server, Harold John Shore, 34 Nursery Road, Moordown, Bournemouth, Dorset, to identify those documents which were served by him on the Defender, she personally having admitted receiving service of the Initial Writ, and Forms F15 and F26 but not the Interlocutor dated 27 July; ad interim Makes a Residence Order whereby the said child shall reside with the Pursuer; Makes no Orders in relation to contact meantime; ex proprio motu Appoints Mr Richard Ward, Solicitor, Aberdeen to report to the Court by 8 October 2004 on all the circumstances and proposed arrangements for the care and upbringing of the said child Cameron Ashley Bobby Craig; Appoints the Director of Children and Families, Borough of Poole, to report to the Court by 8 October 2004 on the background, circumstances and proposed arrangements for the care and upbringing of the said child Cameron Ashley Bobby Craig; Ordains the Defender to instruct said reports and be responsible for payment of same in the first instance; on Joint Motion, Sists the cause for the reports to become available.

It is this interlocutor which is the subject of the present appeal.

[11] On 10 September 2004 a note of appeal was lodged on behalf of the defender. The material part of this reads as follows:

At a Child Welfare Hearing on 27 August 2004 the Sheriff made an Interim Residence Order in favour of the Pursuer. This involved the child Cameron Craig born 30 August 2002 being removed from the care of the Defender and placed in the care of the Pursuer. The Defender respectfully appeals against said judgement on the following grounds:-

    • In reaching his decision the Sheriff failed to give any reason for his finding other than that the Defender had breached an Interim Interdict, a copy of the which (sic) the Defender claimed not to have received.

    • That the Sheriff failed to exercise his discretion reasonably in so far as there was no independent evidence other than allegations by the Pursuer that the child was in any danger whilst in the care of the Defender. The sheriff failed to have regard to the independent evidence contained in the Defender's First Inventory of Productions which tended to suggest said child was in no danger whilst in the Defender's care.

[12] In response to the note of appeal the sheriff wrote a note dated 21 September 2004. He dealt firstly with the question whether or not the defender was aware of the terms of the interim interdict which had been granted against her. For present purposes I need say no more about this. The sheriff then explained why he had granted an interim residence order as follows:

At the hearing on 27 August, the Defender personally made various allegations about the Pursuer's unsuitability to have care and control of the child, but on 27 July, the sheriff was obviously satisfied that there were grounds for the interim interdict which he granted. Nothing which the Defender said on 27 August about the Pursuer persuaded me that he was not a suitable person to have care and control on an interim basis. Furthermore, I was of the opinion that I was entitled to assume that the Defender had been served with all of the documents as stated in the certificate mentioned above, and that she had taken a deliberate decision to ignore the order of this court and removed the child.

The Defender's productions were drawn to my attention and I considered them. Again, there was nothing in them which persuaded me that the Pursuer should not have care and control of the child on an interim basis. There is a letter among the productions (No. 6/1/3 of Process) about the child's enrolment at a fee-paying school in Dorset. The letter indicates that the fees have been paid, and it was accepted that the payment had been made by the Pursuer. He expressed some concern about the Defender's ability to maintain payment, as she is currently in receipt of State Benefit, which was not denied by the Defender.

There was some disagreement about whether the Defender was still a member of the Unification Church ("The Moonies") but I gave no weight to this matter.

The reasons which I articulated for my decision on 27 August to make an interim residence order in favour of the Pursuer were the averments in the Initial Writ about the Defender's behaviour and the fact that she had failed to obtemper the interlocutor of 27 July, by deliberately taking the child to Dorset without the Pursuer's consent.

[13] Opening the appeal, the defender's solicitor outlined briefly the history of the case and dealt with the question of jurisdiction. He then turned to the merits of the appeal which he acknowledged was directed against an exercise of judicial discretion on the part of the sheriff. He referred to Britton v Central Regional Council 1986 SLT 207 and accepted as a correct statement of the law the passage in the opinion of the court delivered by the Lord President where his Lordship stated: "In presenting his submission in support of the reclaiming motion counsel for the reclaimer recognised at the outset that this appellate court may not interfere with the decision of the Lord Ordinary unless it is satisfied either that he exercised his discretion upon a wrong principle or that, his decision being so plainly wrong, he must have exercised his discretion wrongly" (see also Early v Early 1990 SLT 221). The defender's solicitor submitted that the sheriff in the present case had erred on both counts, namely that he had exercised his discretion upon a wrong principle and that, his decision being so plainly wrong, he must have exercised his discretion wrongly. Reference was made to section 11(7) of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 which in paragraph (a) provides that the court shall regard the welfare of the child concerned as its paramount consideration and shall not make any such order unless it considers that it would be better for the child that the order be made than that none should be made at all. It was submitted that the welfare principle and the principle of minimum intervention here stipulated were matters to which the sheriff should have had regard before granting an interim residence order in favour of the pursuer. It was pointed out that in his note the sheriff had made no reference whatsoever to either of these principles. It was further pointed out that the sheriff had not stated in his note that he had been persuaded by anything in the documents which had been produced by either side or otherwise that the defender herself was unsuitable to have care of the child. The sheriff had not made clear why he had thought it best for the child that he should reside with the pursuer and why it was better than not that an interim residence order should be made at that stage. It was not clear what principles the sheriff had had in mind in reaching his decision and his failure to address the correct principles in terms of section 11(7) necessarily undermined his exercise of his discretion.

[14] Referring to the final paragraph of the sheriff's note, the defender's solicitor drew attention to the emphasis which the sheriff had placed upon the averments in the initial writ. It was pointed out that these contained no more than what the pursuer offered to prove and did not amount to evidence. In this context the sheriff had said nothing about having been persuaded one way or another by the affidavits and productions which had been lodged by both parties (and to which, with the exception of the defender's productions, the sheriff had made no reference at all in his note). If the sheriff had not taken all the affidavits and productions into account, it could not be said that he had exercised his discretion appropriately. As for the defender's alleged failure to obtemper the interim interdict which had been pronounced on 27 July 2004, in a question between the parents of a child it did not follow that a parent who had been in breach of such an interim interdict was the wrong person to maintain care and control of the child. Under reference to Sinclair v Sinclair 1988 SLT 87 it was submitted that an apparent disregard by one parent of an order of the court should not necessarily result in the removal of the child in question from the care and control of that person. The fact that the defender had removed the child from the pursuer's care did not demonstrate her own unsuitability or inability to have care of the child and it was submitted that, in relying upon this factor, the sheriff had clearly not exercised his discretion properly. Moreover, in placing emphasis on the matters referred to in the final paragraph of his note, the sheriff, so it was said, had ignored other relevant matters, and in particular the fact that the child's primary residence since birth had been with the defender so that he had been in her care for most of his life with the exception of a brief spell in the summer just gone by. To have changed this status quo the sheriff would have had to have been satisfied that there were compelling reasons to do so. As it was, he had given no indication in his note that he had regard to this status quo or to the previous circumstances of the child's upbringing. Nor did he appear to have regard to the fact that the interim interdict dated 27 July 2004 had been made without opposition and on the basis of different criteria from those which fell to be applied in determining whether or not an interim residence order should be made.

[15] The defender's solicitor pointed out too that the sheriff in his note had made no reference to the age of the child notwithstanding that it was well established that the advantage to a young child of being in the care of his mother was a factor which fell to be taken into account. Reference here was made to Brixey v Lynas 1996 SC (HL) 1, and it was pointed out that, when the sheriff had dealt with the matter on 27 August 2004, the child had been three days short of his second birthday. In this situation, to have removed the child from the defender's care, the sheriff would have to have been satisfied upon the basis of reliable and independent material that the defender was no longer a suitable person to care for the child. No such material had been available to the sheriff.

[16] In conclusion it was submitted that the sheriff's decision to grant an interim residence order had been flawed with the result that the appeal should be sustained and the interim residence order recalled. In addition the interim interdict should be recalled so that the child could be returned to the care of the defender who, it was pointed out, alone had parental rights in relation to the child, the parties not being married.

[17] The pursuer's solicitor began by observing that, if the appeal had been directed only against the sheriff's decision to grant an interim residence order, then it would have been incompetent unless leave to appeal had been granted by the sheriff. But it was accepted that the appeal was competent without leave since, in terms of the final part of his interlocutor, the sheriff had sisted the cause - see section 27(c) of the 1907 Act.

[18] Turning to the merits of the sheriff's decision, the pursuer's solicitor submitted that, although he had not referred to the affidavits or the pursuer's productions which had been put before him, he must have taken these into account in reaching his decision. He had referred to the averments in the initial writ which contained serious allegations especially in view of the age of the child and which demonstrated the need for the child's protection. The affidavits likewise contained serious allegations. In particular the pursuer's affidavit narrated the history of the parties' relationship and the pursuer's concern for the welfare of the child over a considerable period of time. It was not true to say that the defender had been the main carer of the child. The pursuer worked from home and, when the parties had been together, he had tended to be responsible for the child's care while the defender had gone out for counselling sessions and to work for the Church of Scientology where she was employed three to four days and nights per week. After the birth of the child the parties had lived together until March 2004 and until then the pursuer had at best been the main carer and at worst an equal parent. Following the separation the defender had moved to a property nearer to the church to make it easier for her to work there and to attend her counselling sessions. The child had gone with her but between March and July 2004 the pursuer had continued to have the child stay with him on four nights a week, namely Wednesdays and Fridays to Sundays. The defender had never had a full day with the child as he had been left in the care of a childminder on the days when he had not been with the pursuer. So this was a very different situation from that of a mother who had been solely responsible for caring for her child.

[19] The pursuer's solicitor drew attention to the fact that the pursuer's affidavit referred to the defender's lack of responsibility and failure to protect the child. She suggested that it was not surprising that this affidavit should have been more detailed than others that might have been produced. The pursuer's parents in their affidavits spoke to events on the rare occasions when the defender had visited them. In addition to these affidavits, the sheriff would also have seen the defences which consisted almost entirely of denials and contained no positive information about the defender, her accommodation or the arrangements which she might make for caring for the child. As for the defender's productions, the medical certificates therein spoke of her difficulties but it was accepted that these were somewhat dated. In summary, the sheriff had had before him the initial writ which contained serious allegations about the defender's ability to care for the child and her own health. In addition there had been three affidavits for the pursuer, one for the defender (but not one from herself) and both parties' productions. All this evidence, so it was submitted, was such that the sheriff could not have failed to exercise his discretion in favour of the pursuer. Accordingly I should be slow to interfere with the sheriff's decision. It could not be said that his decision had been exercised upon a wrong principle or that it had been so plainly wrong that he must have exercised his discretion wrongly.

[20] The pursuer's solicitor then referred to the defender's failure to adhere to the interim interdict pronounced on 27 July 2004. She submitted that this was a serious matter and showed a lack of responsibility on the part of the defender and disregard by her of authority. She had been aware of the order of the court and yet had come to Aberdeen, gone to the pursuer's house and demanded that the child be returned to her. She had been asked to stay overnight to allow their lawyers to discuss matters. This request had been made both by the pursuer and by the police. At the time the defender had also assaulted the pursuer. On the basis that she alone had had parental responsibilities in relation to the child, the police had advised that they could not stop her removing him. So she had left that night and had taken the child back to her home in England.

[21] Referring to Brixey v Lynas, the pursuer's solicitor reiterated that this was not a case in which the child had been cared for in the main by the defender. The pursuer was still paying for her to receive counselling, and it was his wish that she should get better, both for her own sake and for that of the child. At present he had serious concerns about her ability to care for the child on a full-time basis. In the circumstances the appeal should be refused.

[22] In conclusion the pursuer's solicitor confirmed that the child was still residing with the pursuer, and that the defender had had two periods of residential contact with the child, each over a long weekend, since 27 August 2004.

[23] In a brief reply, the defender's solicitor stated that the allegations which had been made against her were denied. It was pointed out that the reports about her mental health dated back to 2001 and 2002 and her position was that she had overcome these difficulties which had not been a concern by the time of the child's birth. The sheriff's note was quite specific about the matters which he had taken into account and it could not be assumed what else had been in his mind. All this cast doubt upon his reasoning process.

[24] I have the impression that the sheriff in drafting his note may have overlooked the helpful passage in Macphail at paragraph 18.114 where it is stated:

In all cases where an appeal is or may be taken against a decision involving the exercise of a judicial discretion it is desirable that the sheriff should set out in his note the legal principles or statutory rules upon which he has proceeded; the facts, documents or evidence before him; the factors which he considered to be relevant to his decision; and the weight which he gave to each factor. An omission from the note of any matter canvassed before him may found an argument that he has wrongly ignored it or has misunderstood its importance to such an extent that the exercise of his discretion has led to a wrong result.

[25] In my opinion the fact of the sheriff's having apparently ignored this advice has had the result of leaving his decision to grant an interim residence order in favour of the pursuer wide open to an attack such as was made upon it by the defender's solicitor. Had it been appropriate to do so, I do not think that I should have had any difficulty in holding that the sheriff's reasoning process as expressed in his note was so flawed that I should have been entitled to interfere with his decision to the extent of recalling the interim residence order which he had pronounced.

[26] If I had been in the sheriff's position on 27 August 2004, I think that I might well not have granted an interim residence order in favour of the pursuer. Instead I think that I might have recalled the interim interdict. Pending the receipt of the reports which were being ordered, I doubt if I should have gone so far as to grant an interim residence order in favour of the defender. But since she alone had parental rights and responsibilities in relation to the child at that stage, the interim interdict having been recalled, she would have been free to take him back to her home in Dorset.

[27] The difficulty for the defender is that a period of over three months has now elapsed since the hearing on 27 August 2004, and throughout this period the child has been in the care of the pursuer at his home in Aberdeen. If I were to do now what I think I might well have done on 27 August 2004, the result could be that the child would be returned to the defender's care at her home only to be returned shortly afterwards to the pursuer's care if the decision of the court in light of the reports which have been ordered is that the child should continue to reside with the pursuer. I do not think that it would be consistent with the child's welfare to risk shuttling him back and forth in this way. The report from the Borough of Poole is already available, and I understand that the preparation by Mr Ward of his report is well advanced. So it ought not to be too long before the court is in a position to make a decision where the child should reside in light of the reports and pending a final determination of this issue. (Indeed, once the reports are available it may be possible at a child welfare hearing to determine this issue without further ado - see Morgan v Morgan 1998 SCLR 681). In these circumstances I think that it would in the interests of the child that he should remain in the pursuer's care for the time being, there having been no suggestion that he has not been properly cared for by him during the last three months or so. And of course, if no order is made that he should reside in the meantime with the pursuer, there is always the possibility that the defender might apply successfully to have the interim interdict recalled with the result that she could take the child back to England. It is for these reasons that I have decided to adhere to the interim residence order pronounced by the sheriff. But, as I have indicated, this may be reviewed by the court once both reports are available.

[28] I may perhaps comment on the fact that almost three months passed between the date of the sheriff's decision and the date of the appeal hearing. I had hoped that it would be possible to fix a much earlier date for the appeal to be heard. But it appears that the offer made on my behalf to do this was not received, in particular on the defender's side, with the enthusiasm that might have been expected in the circumstances. It must I should have thought have been plain that, the greater the length of time between the hearing on 27 August 2004 and the hearing of the appeal, the less likely it would be that the sheriff's decision might be reversed on appeal. In hindsight I should myself have perhaps insisted on fixing an early date for the appeal. But, rightly or wrongly and in order to maintain the cordial relationships that ought to exist between Bench and Bar in this as in any other court, I take the view that the court in fixing the date for the hearing of an appeal should, within reason, seek to accommodate the convenience of parties and their solicitors as well as its own convenience.

[29] I have had an opportunity now of reading the report from the Borough of Poole. It is interesting to note that it does not in the least bear out the pursuer's allegations about the defender's unfitness to care for the child. But of course it covers at best only half the story, so to speak. Likewise, I understand that Mr Ward's inquiries have so far been confined to the situation in Aberdeen, so that his report will likewise only present half the story. In my experience it is never very satisfactory that issues of residence and contact should be resolved by the court on the basis of two such incomplete reports (and in saying this I make no criticism of their respective authors). I think that it is much to be preferred in the interests of the child or children concerned that a single report should be produced which presents the complete picture. Accordingly I think that Mr Ward's inquiries should not be confined to Aberdeen but should extend to the defender's situation in Dorset and, if need be, also Yeovil (see paragraph 7.7 of the report from the Borough of Poole). I did consider the possibility of appointing Mr Ward of new to prepare his report with a specific instruction to visit the defender in England. But it seems to me that the terms of his existing appointment are already wide enough to cover this since these speak of his reporting to the court "on all the circumstances and proposed arrangements for the care and upbringing of the said child" (the emphasis is mine). In the circumstances I have decided that I should not disturb the existing appointment. But, lest there be any doubt about the matter, I should make it clear to all concerned that in my opinion Mr Ward's report ought to present to the court a complete picture of the child's situation, and that for this purpose he should visit the defender in either or both of Poole or Yeovil. To this end I have asked that a copy of this judgement should be sent direct to Mr Ward.

[30] It was agreed that the question of the expenses of the appeal should be reserved.

How Scientology has helped British Petroleum (BP Plc) Since 2009. Doug Fontenot's $cientology front - One-to-one Consultants

doug fontenot HEADSHOT

There's a company called One-to-One Consultants.
Run by Doug Fontenot, it has the hallmarks of a deceptive Scientology front. It is worth probing.
  • The founder/president got his "Management Consulting Skills" from a placed called the Hubbard College of Administration

The bio he gives on his website does not mention Scientology anywhere:

Dr. Fontenot is the Founder and President of One-to-One Consultants. He is a Licensed Management Consultant and Trainer. As a Dentist he owned two dental practices in Louisiana. In early 1990s he began working with a licensed consultant to help him improve his business using a proven management system with simple tools. The simplicity of its application and rapid results in business expansion inspired Dr. Fontenot to help others achieve similar successes.

He retired from dental practice to formally study this organizational and management technology at a private college in Los Angeles. In 1992, while studying he built a successful Real Estate business applying this technology. He also began helping leaders apply the same methods to solve issues in businesses and corporations. His experience includes merger integration, global transformation, organization restructure, measuring staff productivity, conflict resolution, and leadership coaching.
In 2000 he moved to England to finish his studies and became a licensed consultant and trainer. Since 2005, he has won a Model of Administration award each year for his Real Estate business by demonstrating competence in applying these tools with financial success. He then founded One-to-One Consultants in 2006.

He draws from his extensive technical knowledge of management and organization, broad experience in various industries, and own success in expanding his companies to consult with other leaders to improve their organizations and reach higher levels of success.

Testimonials, including BP execs, who have taken these Scientology Courses


“I would like to highly commend Doug with One-to-One Consultants for the leadership coaching he has given us for the last 12+ months. He has helped us, on many occasions, to handle situations that we were encountering in the day to day operations of our business and in motivating our staff. We found his guidance very useful in handling all kinds of problems (personnel, productivity, difficult conditions, rewarding staff, finance, etc…). His knowledge of leadership behavior, people and business practices is exemplary.”
CEO, Job Connections (UK)
= Jamie Dodwell - see Management Courses undertaken

“Our business is experiencing a good deal of growth now that our staff is operating much more as a team as a result of One-to-One Consultants’ development programs. Doug continues to encourage us to apply simple management practices and complete our programs, which we are doing, to help us overcome any stops or barriers. Doug is highly applauded and thanked.”
Office Director, Job Connections (UK)
“I would like to thank Doug for his help. He has helped me to open up a number of new business relationships with opinion leaders and allies to grow my business. One for one - for each leader he worked with he moved them forward by helping them to apply methods in their organizations that improved results. One leader said to me that he immediately was saving cost each month by applying the knowledge learned through Doug. Another who had a business relations problem and thought that nothing could be done about it, immediately texted me the day after his session with Doug saying “thanks for providing me with Doug’s coaching, I now know how to fix this problem”. Thank you and keep up the great work.”
Director of Music, Jive Aces (UK)

“Doug Fontenot is highly praised for his help in the UK business sector. His services as a trained consultant has helped more people in the local business field with their businesses and relationships than I can remember. His work in the London area handling business disputes and correcting business problems provided beneficial results immediately. Not only does he help leaders apply effective methods to improve relationships, resolve problems and improve business, but he uses this same management technology in his own business and received prestigious awards for running a successful business. He is a shining example of a consultant that delivers what he applies himself and is hereby thanked and acknowledged for his help.”
Commanding Officer, International Consultants (UK)

"I wish I had these tools to lead and manage people years ago. I've never seen my team so energized before. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me and now I can move my team forward with ease.”
Leader, MW Fuels Value Chain, BP


“Thanks Carla for exposing me to such a practical and easily applicable set of leadership tools that has opened my eyes to a new way of leading that has resulted in significant beneficial impacts in a very short timeframe. I learned and have implemented the tools which have made me more impactful as a leader, a peer, and to my manager. It has been very helpful in building my team, managing the dynamics of my team, and making organizational decisions."
Manager, MW Fuels Value Chain, BP


“Seems simplistic, almost too simplistic, but powerful. I am playing to win now. And to win, I need to be at cause, controlling what I can control and not allowing my environment to control me. Before my sessions, I would have done things "nice to do" but not "what must be done". I took control. I have been applying the tools for building confidence, trust and relationships. I know the power of these tools. I had three meetings right after our sessions and all three were uniquely successful."
Manager, East & Gulf Coast Fuels, BP

“I now have the tools to personally set myself up to be stable and successful. This is critical for me to be stable to lead business transformation. I feel I now have a plan and am in control of my role going forward. These tools are a key to success in my role. I view it as invaluable.”
Manager, Oil & Gas Exploration & Production

“This program has made me realize the importance of putting in order and control in my team and ensuring the team stays focused on their targets. My team meetings have much better focus and I get my staff to participate and plan for what must be achieved. I feel that the team has grown closer and is more cohesive. I also have seen how important the tools are and have used them to resolve issues between team members. I no longer ignore issues and let them fester – I’m now able to confront and handle them!!”
Manager, BP Fuels Value Chain

“If I want to elevate my performance, I need to be "hitting on all cylinders", when I was driven, passionate and focused. I know that feeling and rekindled that fire. I now give it my all, making every day count. Carla and Doug - thanks for waking me up and helping me to see that the time is now to be passionate and showing me how I can achieve that energy, focus and drive. I know I cannot control everything, but I am confident I can stop confusion, bring certainty, and be at cause (rising above)."
Manager, East & Gulf Coast Fuels, BP

“These tools help me to understand the importance of relationships, knowing when upsets and disagreements occur and how to approach people to address issues. I found a different way of leading and increasing productivity.”
Manager, BP Corporate & Other Business


“Thanks for sharing these tools/concepts but those by themselves would be just that, tools and concepts. Thank you for taking such a personal interest in me and really making these come alive in my life. My life is changing, and for the better.”
Manager, East & Gulf Coast Fuels, BP

Things are progressing rapidly. My meetings are going very well. The stuff I am learning is so helpful. My team meetings are so much better. I have always hated team meetings myself and then leading my own was also a disaster. But I am learning to provide more context to my team to allow them to see the bigger picture. I find myself constantly saying the "greatest good for the greatest amount of people." I am able to have good discussions with my team now that we use the productivity reports to measure our success and improvements.
Manager, BP US Marketing

“I now understand the importance of showing confidence to my team – confidence around our targets and the importance of achieving them and building our reputation; How to organize team meetings to plan, celebrate and be more aware of the value added; Utilizing tools to show the importance of others and acknowledge, knowing the devastation that is caused by invalidation.”
Leader, BP MW Fuels

I found myself introducing one of the tools I learned from you to help another leader who was having trouble with a whole team that was very depressed and antagonistic. So odd that I keep finding your voice in my head providing me with tools to solve issues. You have helped me improve my value by connecting with other teams outside of my own and this is the item above all our productivity that I am most proud of. I am now able to make my team prosperous. I am saying these things because you have changed my outlook and every day I can relate something back to our working sessions.

Scientology is EXTREMIST & ANTI-SOCIAL

A Russian court has found that some scientology literature distributed in Russia is illegal. The writings by L.Ron Hubbard, the founder of the church, have been ruled extremist and anti-social. RT's Sarah Firth is outside the scientology headquarters in Moscow...

Prosecutor General's Office declares Ron Hubbard's books extremist


Moscow, June 30, Interfax, - Several books by Ron Hubbard have been qualified as extremist literature, the Prosecutor General's Office said.

"Experts have made the conclusion that founder of Scientology Ron Hubbard's books and booklets aim to form an isolated social group, whose members are trained to perform their functions impeccably and most of whom are in a struggle with the rest of the world," the Prosecutor General's Office said.

"These books convey calls to engage in extremism, and carry humiliating descriptions and judgments, and negative views on individuals based on their social status," it said.

Scientology Top Executives, enjoying a sing-along in 1990 (Where are they now?)

..we have this hilarious pile of fluff that was dug up and posted to YouTube this weekend. Make sure you watch it quick, before David Miscavige's minions have it yanked down.
Speaking of diminutive Dave, he can be seen right at the front of this "We are the World"-type singalong that was put together in 1990...all around him are some famous names from Scientology's past and present:
At the 2:40 mark, you'll see everyone together warbling their guts out. Our tipster provided the following playbook:

  • Blonde with brown top and black jacket is Shelley Miscavige -- who is now missing.

  • To her right -- Ray Mithoff, Former Inspector General for Tech RTC, reported to be in The Hole.

  • To his right -- Mark Yager, Former Inspector General for Admin RTC, reported to be in The Hole.

  • To his right -- Mark Ingber -- Former Commanding Officer of CMO = Commodore Messengers Org, reported to be in the Hole. To Ingber's right and behind him, Mike Rinder Former Commanding Officer of OSA, currently blown and speaking out against the cult.

  • Front and Center -- David Miscavige [the little dude] wearing weird Hermes/goatse shirt. To DM's right and behind him -- Heber Jentzsch, Former President of the C of S, now reportedly in the The Hole.

  • To DM's right -- Greg Wilhere -- Inspector General, reportedly still working for DM. To Greg Wilhere's right-- Marty Rathbun, Former Inspector General for Ethics RTC, now out and speaking out against the cult as well as running the "Independent" Scientologists. To Marty's right -- Guillaume Lesevre Executive Director Int. reportedly in the The Hole.

    Well, at least 21 years ago, the future seemed so bright!

    I remember that it was done for one of the events and I think it was IAS anniversary event that was going to be in October. It may have been for an earlier event. It was done to show all the "Wins" and "successes for the year and the song was sung by a Scientologist singer named David Pomeranz. Charles Lake is the Gymnast and had just been on the Olympic team that summer that is why I think it was for the IAS event in October. I remember that the idea was to have all of International Management sing the chorus ala We are the World and DM thought the Scientology public would get a big kick out of it. All of the RTC Inspector Generals were in the front with DM and his wife Shelly and the Executive Director International Guillaume Leserve was there too. Then behind was the rest of RTC and the Watchdog Committee. I recognize many faces in the crowd. We recorded it in the Music Studio at the Gold Base and we are all looking at Peter Schless who is conducting the singing. Schless was a Gold Musician and his prior claim to fame was co writing the Jefferey Osbourne hit song "On the Wings of Love" from the 1980s. Me personally, I had just been put back working for David Miscavige again after a stint of manual labor for disagreeing with my wife being sent to the RPF. I however shortly after this video blew the base for good after 2 attempts. Almost 21 years ago.

    Sing-a-Long Scientology Video Surfaces
    Maureen O'Connor — Ooh, look, another propaganda video from Hollywood's favorite cult, the Church of Scientology! This one appears to have been filmed in the early '90s, and features a fascinating shot of Church leader David Miscavige singing a Scientology hymn with his old cronies.
    The Village Voice reports that this guy, in the "weird Hermes/goatse shirt," is Miscavige.
    The lady at left is thought to be Miscavige's mysterious wife Shelly, who has reportedly been missing since 2006. To her right are two former Scientology bigwigs now thought to be "in the Hole," a manmade purgatory the New Yorker described as "a pair of double-wide trailers" south of Los Angeles, where misbehaving Scientologists are made to do "group confessions all day and all night."
    If it weren't for all the disappeared people, this silly Scientology sing-a-long would be nerdy/fun. But since three-quarters of its cast is allegedly missing or "in the Hole" these days, it's just creepy. [Village Voice]

    Former Miscavige Assistant Mark Fisher:

    Blow - To blow means "to leave without permission" or "to leave before something is completed". One can "blow staff", "blow course", "blow session", or "blow the org". It is a very, very serious offence in Scientology to blow. People who leave without permission in this way are usually declared.

    ‘Hilarious’ Scientology sing-along highlights the cult’s sad reality


    If there’s one thing religion reporters, cult experts and former cult victims know about Scientology is that this cult is better at producing utter nonsense than any other so-called ‘New Religious Movement’ out there.
    Unable to get much, if any, serious coverage in legitimate media outlets, Scientologists produce a constant barrage of ‘press releases’ praising the Church of Scientology for its marketing efforts — which more often than not are thinly disguised as ‘humanitarian campaigns,’ ‘disaster relief,’ ‘anti-drugs education,’ and what not.
    Meanwhile the ‘Church’ tries hard to convince its members that it is doing exceedingly well, and that they are part of something truly special.
    Hence the organization lies to its own members much the same way it lies to the public at large (e.g. by claiming that it is the ‘fastest growing religion of the 20th century’).
    The result is spooky to say the least — a fact adequately demonstrated by Tom Cruise in his infamous     Scientology video.
    Recently another video — apparently meant for internal consumption only — became public. It’s a Scientology sing-along:
    What makes this video, produced in 1990, noteworthy is what happened to many of the Scientologists ‘standing tall.’
    Apparently many of the famous Scientologists in the video are no longer ‘standing tall’ for the cult.
    The publishers of     Religion News Blog support freedom of religion, but we also highlight cases where religions — real or not — fail to live up to their own ideals.


    Additional, Exhaustive Detail (for those of you who care)


    90% of these people are blown or gone, maybe more.
    • Mark Fisher (blown and has spoken out)
    • Marc Yager (Hole Dweller & affidavit signer)
    • Guilliame Leserve - (Hole Dweller & affidavit signer)
    • Mark Ingber (Hole Dweller & creepy porn moustache owner)
    • Greg Wilhere (Still at Int - Son Darius lives in Mexico and runs a video production company and has new baby and website - Clueless father)
    • Pablo Labato (blown but is spy)
    • Nik Rakonen (tall guy in BG) (blown)
    • Martin Uvizl - (second tallest guy in BG hubby of HGB LRH Life Exhibit reception girl. Notorious for hooking up with the blonde hotties. Was married at Int to a hot busty blonde girl named Mellissa - NOT to be confused with his new wife Lissa Uvizl. Mellissa routed out shortly after jogging down LRH Way with no bra. trufax)
    • Liz Rossi - Still at RTC in HCO
    • Shelly Corias (blown)
    • Greg Hughes (blew and out & but signed a deal to stay quiet)
    • Ian Cunningham (blown)
    • Claudia Olander (still at Int - gained some serious weight- too bad, so sad)
    • Linda Stanton (dead?)
    • Sherry Murphy (still at Int? Son lives off of Barram in LA)
    • Mike Stutter (Is on damage control/causing team with Marion Pouw - go around telling people how awesome Davey Tiny Fists is while looking like death warmed over themselves. Mike has skin condition that makes him look like someone who just walked off a George Romero film set.
    • James Byrne (in PAC? Wife Inid died a few years back)
    • Ken Delderfeild (went to PAC RPF from Int for hiring hookers when down in LA printing Scn Books)
    • Hara O'hare (maybe still at Int -Was washing dishes after getting busted out of RTC - Her hubby Kevin was in PAC last week walking down the street next to Big Blue. Son Brendan is still at Int and was Building 50 Maintenance guy)
    • Darnelle Bloomberg - In RTC - Divorced hubby on orders from Dave and then got back together after turned out divorce order to entire RTC was "just a misunderstanding" Darnell is Lou Stuckenbrock's sis.
    • Barbara Griffin - Still at RTC - Is Treas Sec and HATES DAVE with a passion. She knows where all the money goes and know waaaaaay too much to piss off. Dave put up with her as he knows she does not have much time left.

    • Noelle North is laughing Diantetics PC - you might know her as the no subs for kids Subway aggressive lady.
    • Phillipe De Henning - Dianetics Race car driver. Was real big in Scientology because he was supposedly the most awesome Le Mans race car driver ever. Turns out he has been in 40 races and podiumed once. ehh.

    This video was edited heavily a few years back to take out pretty much everybody who was in the first one.
    Charles Lake - the guy that is posing with John Travolta and the cake was olympic gymnist. Dave had him taken out cause it turns out he liked guys - A LOT.

    Lady next to John in video is not Kelly Preston (She was busy getting shot by Charlie Sheen when this video came out.) Fun Fact - Kelly's best role was in awesome movie - Amazon Woman on the Moon - get it - watch it. She is the girl with the rubber buying kid.

    New E-meters were released and a new one is still to be released so that footage was taken out.

    All Saint Hill Size orgs were bullshit, also all the people that Dave gave awards to in that video are long gone.

    • John Woodruff - Orange County Saint Hill Size Winner ED busted and left staff after DM found out Orange county stats were all False Reported
    • Wiebke Hansen - Hamburg Saint Hill Size Winner ED- Busted after DM found out all Hamburg Stats had been false reported went to Int RPF and has been painting sets in Sets & Props at Cine Castle every since.
    • Debbie Cook - Captain FSO - Blew with hubby after Dave found out she hated him. She is out of S.O. but still in good standing - Knows WAAAAY too much for Dave to piss off at this point. When she spills beans, prepare for Epic fail.

    Fun Fact - Champagne bottle for Freewinds ribbon cutting shot was pre-broken. Real bottle would not break no matter what when trying before shot. Bottle was pre-broken so that when it hit it actually shattered. Scilons are all powerful beings but nobody wants that mad mojo on your failboat for bottle not breaking.

    New video is equally lame but new cheesy shots put in.

    Scientologist charged with perverting course of justice
    By Steve Cannane
    One of the Church of Scientology's most senior figures, Jan Eastgate, has been     arrested and charged in Sydney.
    She has been charged with perverting the course of justice, in relation to allegations she coached an 11-year-old girl to lie to police and community services about the sexual abuse she suffered from her stepfather who was a member of the Church of Scientology.
    Eastgate is the international president of the Citizen's Commission on Human Rights, an organisation founded by the Church of Scientology that campaigns against psychiatry.
    She was awarded the church's Freedom Medal for promoting human rights in 1988.
    Police allege Eastgate threatened and intimidated Carmen Rainer when she was 11 years old into providing false statements to police about the sexual abuse she suffered from her stepfather.
    Carmen Rainer outlined these allegations for the first time on Lateline last year.
    "She (Eastgate) kept repeating that: 'Just remember you can't tell them. Don't say yes because otherwise you will be taken away from your parents and you will never see your family again'," Ms Rainer told Lateline.
    Carmen Rainer's story was backed up by her mother Phoebe.
    "Jan Eastgate coached both of us, actually," said Phoebe Rainer.
    "She came to us with DOCS - they weren't called DOCS back then - but she came with us to the interview and she basically told me what to say and Carmen what to say.
    "She also told Carmen to lie to the police and I lied to the police as well because of that."
    Carmel Underwood, who was at the time a senior figure in Scientology, says she witnessed these events.
    "I knew that Carmen was being coached on what to say to the Department of Community Services and to the police," she said.
    "So I challenged them on that and we had a bit of an argument and I was told it was none of my business and to get out of there.
    "I didn't want to get out of there because I wanted to stop what was going on but I was escorted out of there."
    Jan Eastgate declined to be interviewed at the time the allegations first aired on Lateline.
    In an email to Lateline last year she described the allegations by Carmen and Phoebe Rainer as "egregiously false".
    She did not respond to an email sent by Lateline tonight.
    Jan Eastgate has been granted conditional bail and asked to surrender her passport.
    She is due to appear in Downing Centre Court on June 16.

    Give Scientology a break (Aurora Dallaserra, Shilpa Shaw)

    Facebook Group : Facebook Profile for Give Scientology a break

    Scientology isn't a cult. It doesn't say anything about "Xenu" or a "Galactic Federation". It doesn't say anything about a God or Jesus or any other forms of Dogma. No one eats placenta. And Tom Cruise isn't crazy for being a member.It isn't perfect, but it's well intentioned and there are plenty of people who feel they've been helped by it. Why should it be considered crazier than any multi-thousand-year-old religion with dogma?Seriously want to know the answer to "What is Scientology"? Maybe the best answer is one straight from the source:http://www.scientology.org/en_US/religion/index.html
