ANON: "Excuse my ignorance, and I am due no favours - but - would some German/English bi-lingual germanon please take the time to give me their opinion about Mark from their perspective. Being on the other side of the planet, I am not up with the culture buzz in your country. Was Mark a "big star", was he a local A-Lister or . . .
I don't know very much about Mark except that he fronted a scilon PR-caper involving "human rights" and came to the attention of anti-cult protesters who promptly directed action against him to highlight how OSA operates via the "celeb" market. Mark, personally, was collateral damage to some extent but he does appear to have been seriously butthurt financially and emotionally. He has subsequently removed himself from involvement with the cult and has reinvented himself as a multi-talented artist who has written a book and he's now on a media-tour to promote the book. Just judging by his comments on ESMB, Mark is being very careful and specific about what he says in relation to the protagonists involved. My inner critic says "Mark is applying KSW Standard Victim Tech" and leveraging his moment in the spotlight to maximise how much he suffered at the hands of those evil protesters. " . . . Methinks the lady protests too much . . ."
That's the 2% speaking.
From an aspirational viewpoint, way up the scale, wouldn't it be fantastic to see Mark say:

My Answer:
Hello XXX... Was I big star? I was about to become one when everything exploded.
I was making big $$$, lots of attention and having a great time.
That all came to an abrupt end.
If you think "the lady protests too much . . . " you have not read my book.
As to appllying KSW Standard Victim Tech, that's a crock of s*&t...
I have written off having any kind of big career.
In fact, I hardly sing any more.
I wrote my book for my children, so they know what really happened.
(long story behind that).
I wrote this book to clear my name.
I had been slandered and publicly humilated for 15 years.
If you think that's fun, just try it some time.
If you think it's funny to go onstage with death threats and constantly
need police protection just to sing, do it some time.
I have invested my last Euros into getting this book on to the market.
My chances of earning even a cent on it are slim to none... with the exception
that it turns into a best seller.
As to your aspirational viewpoint I can only say... don't count on it.
SCN and my connection to that group has already eaten the better part of 15 years
of my life. I am not surrendering any second more to that group.
I am telling my story as it happened.
People can draw their own conclusions.
I was the most famous SCN in western Europe and the only one willing to admit it in public.
I was their number one fundraiser as well. When SCN could treat me the way they did, one
of their biggest allies, then one can only imagine what heppens to "Joe Blow" from the street.
Unfortunately, due to time constraints on MDR, my appeal to the audience to "check out EVERYTHING on the internet regarding SCN -- before doing any services" -- landed on the cutting room floor.
It is not my place to tell people what to think.
It is not my place to tell people what they need to do.
My story is a warning.
That's as far as I am willing to invest in SCN any longer.
Got it?

" The Church Of Scientology is an international organised crime syndicate and I am involved in an investigation of the cult by Interpol."
Should I put money on the latter? "-------------------------------------------------------------
