Why the balaclavas?
They look like thugs.

At least our paramilitary police dress like proper storm troopers with real helmets, (claiming "protective gear").

I bet this video is being used in top secret OSA briefings.
I would have cleared my bank account to "save Russia" back in the day.

This is just messed up, all round.

As was said once before on this board, the Russian government does not appreciate competition.

The cult can not sanely be regarded as " competition " to the Russian gov't.

That's even more deluded than comparing lrh to Hitler !

Maybe some think a little league team is ready for the MLB champion ?

In their eyes it would be helping to dissolve "total" control.

But you are right in the aspect that control freaks are not always the most sane of thinkers.

That's very true from our perspective. Just as the tiny Falun Gong load of nutters is no real threat to the CCP. But both regimes crack down hard and early on anything competing for hearts and minds, pour encourager les autres...

I would not go as far as to say "Go, Russia". This is an instance of one totalitarian organization not allowing another to muscle in on its territory. Exactly like the conflict between the Falun Gong cult and the Chinese Communists.

There has to be some middle ground between the US's totally hands off approach and the Russians' heavy handed approach towards everyone, good, bad and ugly. Personally, I think the Germans have led the world in this regard, although their approach does seem too heavily based on the personalities and proclivities of the holders of certain offices.

I actually would say "Go, Russia".

It appears the legal laws in Russia are different than in the USA. Qouted from the articles above in the OP:

"Last November a Russian court banned the activities of the Moscow branch of the Church of Scientology after authorities argued in part that since it had registered its name as a U.S. trademark, it cannot call itself a religious organization."

and

"In November, a court in Moscow ruled that the Church of Scientology Moscow must close because it had been registered as a trademark rather than as a religious organization."

The comparison of Scientology with Falun Gong wildly misses the mark.

Scientology infiltrates the sovereign governments of the countries that give it a foothold.
Hidden microphones, recording devices, spying, blackmail, doing anything and everything to extract every last ruble from deluded adherents, and trafficking so-called "religious workers" to provide free labor doing non-religious activities. Shall I continue?

Scientology is unique among criminal organizations.

FSB searched PIR Bank in Scientology case

by Marina Davydova
June 24, 2016

According to investigators, Vitaly Paskal, Chairman of the Board of PIR Bank (Bank of industrial and investment settlements) is the main sponsor of the Church of Scientology in Russia, and the bank was founded specifically to meet the religious organization's needs.

Life.ru has learned that 16 million rubles were confiscated at the bank's premises - money not placed in special storage, but hidden in the ceiling of Vitaly Paskal's office. The seized banknotes were not registered in the bank's accounts.

A TT pistol and various sporting guns were also found, all of which will be analyzed. A criminal case for possession of weapons is under consideration.

A law enforcement source disclosed that "hidden surveillance cameras and audio-recording devices whose installation is prohibited by Russian law were found in Vitaly Paskal's office. Weapons and a counterfeit weapons carrying permit were also discovered. The seized electronic media were found to contain business secrets, information about financial transactions related to construction companies.

A letter of gratitude from the Church of Scientology for Vitaly Paskal's help and contribution to the organization's development was found on the wall of his office at the bank he heads.

Vitaly Paskal's office also shows that he is a fan of the Spartak soccer club. Club memorabilia is displayed everywhere. The banker and his partner also love motorcycles. Two rare bikes stand right inside his office.

In addition to PIR Bank, searches were conducted at 14 locations, 3 church buildings and 11 addresses of executives and Scientology sponsors. These investigative actions are based on article 171.2 of the criminal code, which concerns illegal business activities, and also on charges of invasion of privacy through the use of monitoring devices.

The impact on banker Vitaly Paskal's legal status has not been determined. Moreover, immediately after the searches, he complained to the police about the disappearance of 90 million rubles.

Oh my. Loose cash, *guns, shady bankers. Must be $cientology!

Possible Scientology connection for PIR Bank Chief Accountant Olga Kolosova.

At first the connection may seem tenuous. On the other hand, it appears unlikely to be coincidental. Let me walk you through the steps.

Renaissance Speakers is Toastmasters District 52 in Los Angeles. See:
Code:
http://renaissancespeakers.org/

The About page for Renaissance Speakers states, "The Renaissance Speakers is an award-winning and prominent Toastmasters club hosted by the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre International in Hollywood, California. Join us this weekend for a little "Saturday Night Live on Sunday Morning!" at Celebrity Centre, in the Theatre, at 5930 Franklin Ave., Hollywood, CA., 90028, from 9:00am to Noon, each and every Sunday. ALL ARE WELCOME!" See:
Code:
http://renaissancespeakers.org/about/

If there was any doubt that the Church of Scientology controls Renaissance Speakers, the Renaissance Speakers website features, "A Letter from L. Ron Hubbard." See:
Code:
http://renaissancespeakers.org/about/hubbard-letter/

An October 26, 2014 article on the Renaissance Speakers website notes:

Code:
http://renaissancespeakers.org/news-richard-stewart-wins-humorous-speech-contest/2552/

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

Renaissance Speakers Olga Kolosova and Richard Stewart both made the club proud by their respective performances in the Division D Evaluation Contest and the Humorous Speech Contest. The competition was fierce and Richard prevailed to win the 1st Place trophy! He will represent the club in the District Contest to be held Friday, November 14, 2014 during the District 52 Conference in Burbank.

* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *

Obviously, the two Olga Kolosovas may not be the same person. Further, even if they are, Olga Kolosova's participation in Renaissance Speakers at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre does not necessarily mean she is a member of the Church of Scientology. It could all be a coincidence.

Your point well taken.

Perhaps a black box warning or required prominent public disclosure with a weblink to the proven ruin risk involved.

I would not go as far as to say "Go, Russia". This is an instance of one totalitarian organization not allowing another to muscle in on its territory. Exactly like the conflict between the Falun Gong cult and the Chinese Communists.

There has to be some middle ground between the US's totally hands off approach and the Russians' heavy handed approach towards everyone, good, bad and ugly. Personally, I think the Germans have led the world in this regard, although their approach does seem too heavily based on the personalities and proclivities of the holders of certain offices.

Yet, the lower orgs are involved in promoting and perpetuating the extortion by the upper orgs management of lower orgs. This is a downward flow of pressure upon the lower orgs to extract to the extent of fraud and extortion also. Orgs do get involved in 'fights' over clients and the delivery of service and allotment of funds and 'ownership of customers or dupes. I doubt there is even one lower org which cares more about the welfare of its clients than the welfare of the survival of scientology. This extend even into the ranks of FSMs and their selectees. With the IAS and Ideal org fiacsos now, all staff as I understand it have the additional sales commission and stats pressure too.

As an afterthought, I wonder how much they will find in the records. l
The lower level orgs most likely are not directly involved in the criminal laundering and theft of funds. I would think that the higher level orgs like Flag and up do all this once they receive it.

My guess is that all the records would really show is a flow of funds from them to Flag and the crimes they may uncover would be relatively minor.

But that would also depend upon what the Russian authorities deem to be high crimes.

Am I wrong?
