What's new

Aussie media going ballistic!

I've never seen media on Scn in Oz, like we've had these last few days.

We didn't get any media on the St Pete's Times articles, and we haven't had that much to speak of this year.

This week though, while we didn't get the ABC Nightline pgm, we've had articles in major newspapers on the suicide inquest in Brisbane, the Haggis story and the fraud convictions in France. As well as those, we've had tv coverage with segments in the two major morning shows, and one of the two major prime time evening current affair pgms, all of which get aired around the country.

It's now after Thursday 2pm here. In a couple of hours, the CofS will be the topic of discussion on "triplej" (a popular national radio station), and hopefully we'll have another "surprise" in the morning, and continuing on from there - OSA ANZO has another busy week ahead of them it seems. :happydance:

The convictions in France seem to be a big issue planet wide. The media seems keen for any and all info, and in Oz and NZ we're giving it to them. For those who have been thinking of contacting the media, now is the time to do it, because they're all ears - "strike while the iron is hot" as they say.

Will keep ya informed on what's going on here, and here's to an on-going increase of media in all our "Conts"! :thumbsup:

Based on Scientology's own beliefs, I blame the opening of the DC ideal org this weekend for all the bad press. :3 They must have done something really terrible to pull all this in!

This is great stuff and looking forward to seeing and hearing more... of course the media and those contributing are in affluence and so what created the affluence is capable of creating it again...

Go ANZO Go...:thumbsup:

No libs for OSA... :roflmao:

Strike! Strike while the iron is hot! Strike! On the phone, strike! Email, strike! Strike! In the streets, strike! From the tops of buildings, strike! From atop Uluru, strike! From the depths of The Ditch, strike! Carmel's kookaburras are with you. Strike! Strike! Strike!

(Sufficiently dramatic?)

Cyrus Brooks (OSA ANZO) on triplej this afternoon.

To listen to short news round up and interview with Cyrus:

- open link
- go to "Listen: stream programs from the past week",
- go to "THURSDAY REAL WINDOWS MP3" and click on one of the three options.
- and when it comes up, forward to 4/5's of the way through, of recording. The last 1/5th of it is the Scn stuff.

(Sorry guys, I don't know how to make it easier for you to hear it)

I think it's great, more lies that invite us to provide the correct information.


PS: There's a delay on the "surprise in the morning", which I mentioned in my first post :whistling:, but it looks like it will be a good week anyway. :)

Thanks.

Handy info:

Interview starts at 24.00.

I'm loving all this stuff about "religious discrimination". Lovin' it! :whistling:

Hi HappyGirl,

All I did was click on link provided. Then chose one of the three options by the Thursday option:

Real
Windows
MP3

Real will open in Real Player if you have it on your computer. I checked it and it works. If you don't, Real Player is a free download easily available.

Windows will open in the same window as the link using, I think, software from the radio web site - I used this option to listen to the interview and it worked fine.

The MP3 option allows you to download the radio interview into your own computer. I checked this and it is working fine.

Sing out if this doesn't work for you and maybe someone with more geek knowledge than me can to do their geek thing.

Alex........Still up to your old tricks I see. :puke:

She's very skilled in the "no answer" TR.

Also in TR-L. "Scientology has expanded more in the last 5 years than in the previous 50 years". I can see where she got her Roman nose. :D

Yes I second that!, how Alex can go on national T.V. & say "Disconnection" is not true is the biggest laughing lie ever, especially Alex when you and your team tell people to disconnect from my family & I cause we chose to leave:omg: I watched how she stumbled and crumbled through this interview & tried oh so very hard to be calm, however I could hear her heart beat a mile away..........:no:

Yes, well she didn't actually lie... she, rather cleverly, changed the context of the question and then answered the altered question.

She took it in the context of "Are scn'ists made to disconnect from non-scn'ists?" (an opening which Larry fed her) and answered that inapplicable question.

That, of course, is not the context of the Haggis statement on disconnection nor the issue at hand.

The misdirecting answer was "accepted" by the misdirected interviewer.

Oz friends

Awesome video, thanks for posting it. Disconnection exists; ask anyone who has most of their family not speaking to them because they are expelled and declared how it feels, exactly. It occured to me that many people in Anzo may not have seen the original 3 part St. Petersburg Times newspaper presentation that started this current feeding frenzy. Here it is:

http://www.tampabay.com/specials/2009/reports/project/ and also look inside for video interviews with Marty and Amy. The later update included Jeff Hawkins, as more people came forward. The CofS has spent upwards of $25 million countering this with a huge distribution of Freedoms to every household in Pinellas County where Flag is located. My neighbors believe the Times, and consider the CofS to be simply admitting guilt by slandering those who came forward. Note: these videos are not edited, and the full answers by these long time Int. base staff are incedibly interesting to see. I found Amy Scobee to be particularly compelling in her testimony. She was not assaulted personally, but witnessed it being done to others on many occasions.
The St. Petersburg Times is set to run another blockbuster story this Sunday. DM beating people up is not the end, it's the tip of the iceberg. Did you notice, from the Australian press interest, that this is right on their scandal wavelength? What is coming next is scandal, scandal, scandal...
SCANDAL that tabloids wish they could come up with. It will be too much for the parishoners to tolerate. Backing DM because he has achieved" more expansion in the last 5 years than in the previous 50"? Hah! Maybe in pretty, empty buildings. The IAS worldwide paid membership is still under 100,000, probably under 50,000. THAT is the only stat they can go by. They are lying their asses off.

That is SUCH great news Carmel! Thanks for sharing! I even had a co-worker e-mail me about the France case (I tell ALL my non-scilon friends that scn is a cult and talk to anyone who has questions all the time, I spoke to my day care provider a few weeks ago! lol).

It is all GREAT news and even better - people are listening!
