One of the worst cover-ups in the Scientology cult was anattempted homicide. Happened circa 1988 in Los Angeles.
The "Commanding Officer" of INCOMM, the computer division of the Cult snapped and tried to strangle his wife Noomie.
Because of the very high security of INCOMM, easy access through the doors is not easy.
Chuck used the strength of a madman and was suffocating the life out of Noomie when she was rescued. It takes minutes to strangle someone to death, not instantaneous.
it was so serious, that even the RPF gulag was not considered.
Chuck was promptly kicked out of the Sea Org and the cult found him a job in a computer company. He got away with no justice, no report to LAPD.
But he then threatened the cult.
And would you believe what the cult did ?
They forced Noomie, to go live with him, and share the marital bed til he calmed down and was no longer a threat. And she did.
All hushed hushed and buried by Office of Special Affiars.
They got a nearly strangled woman to have sex with her would be killer.
This was in the cult's eyes "self preservation"
In this video I explain how far the cult will go in cover up to hide crimes.
I remember hearing of this, and it sadly would be true that it was never reported to LAPD.
Chuck got his PhD from Harvard, and taught for a short time there as well.
He and Noomi were truly brainy computer experts, Chuck in particular, Chuck was about the most trained computer person in INCOMM history.
I recall when I was on the decks in 1989 at INCOMM, Chuck's old Harvard chair, was in the INCOMM staff storage room still, even though Chuck'd been gone for years by 1989.
It was uncalled for, and Noomi likely was pressured never to go to police on Chuck's behavior, his violence against her and when he lost it.
People do NOT deserve to spend a day in Scientology who need outside mental health and outside help, and I do not know what happened to Chuck.
The atmosphere in the Scientology movement is such ingrained ignorance and Hubbard's rules and Hubbard's prejudices and today's Hubbard's policies are keeping the Scientologists ignorant of their basic citizen safety and health rights.
Hubbard is ultimately to blame for having left this cult intact and ongoing at the time of his death, even though Hubbard did have sporadic doubts at the end of his life, per "Going Clear..." book by Lawrence Wright (I hope we can someday get future Sea Org and staff in Ideal Orgs to go to hospital and police, next time(s) they commit/receive their staff to staff violence).
I think we need, still, some credible academic to do the thorough job of laying out Hubbard's damnable policies that get used to condone and which self induce the staff to staff violence, plus lay out the long history, including Hubbard's long history of violence which today still is perpetuated.
A staff pamphlet needs be given to Sea Org members and Ideal Org staff, letting them know how to go about reporting their injuries to hospital and to police, so that this ceases.
