This is Photojournalist Fred G. Haseney with his eye on scientology. For today’s video, I’m reporting from the Pacific Area Command Base (“PAC Base” or “Big Blue”), the so-called "church" of scientology’s West Coast headquarters, in Los Angeles.
In April 2016, ex-scientologists Phil and Willie Jones posted a billboard on Glendale Blvd., in the Echo Park section of Los Angeles. That billboard is a message of love to their adult children still trapped in scientology: "to my loved one in scientology... call me."
Later that month, smaller versions of the "call me" sign were created: one with a magnetic backing, easily affixed to the side of a car; the other with a corrugated backing, easily to carry while walking. Within a very short period of time, scientology called the police on me as I walked about PAC Base, peacefully protesting their toxic practice of "disconnection, as I carried the "call me" sign" Then scientology secretly followed me and even tried to make life unpleasant when they approached the manager of where I live in an attempt to get him to "handle" me. Soon, lies and rumors about me were circulated among PAC Security.
Meanwhile, we continued protesting by foot and by car at various scientology events, including the 66th anniversary of dianetics as well as the Grand Opening of Scientology Media Productions.
Today I walked up and down L. Ron Hubbard Way, carrying a "call me" sign. I didn't do anything but walk slowly and offer the sign to scientologists and Sea Org members alike to read. As soon as I turned the corner from Sunset onto LRH Way, two Sea Org members doubled back onto the street and notified security. Soon, three PAC Security Guards were circling me on bicycles; staff turned away when they saw the extracurricular activity; and PAC Security Guard Odo G. Huber arrived, silently, with Everio, a JVC Camcorder designed specifically to capture the moment.
is the world watching this? Do they wonder what makes scientology collectively shake in its boots? One word: love.
