Human Rights Abuses in Portland - "Body Routed" From Org For Photos of Closed "Church"

Under the cover of darkness, two clones seen shuttering the Portland Org - Photos

I was walking around my neighborhood and witnessed the "routing out" of the org in my hood. Being the good neighbor that I am, I busted out the cell phone to snap some quick pictures.

As I approached, they saw what I was doing and shouted "who are you!?", "why are you doing this!?" and "you're trespassing!" I remained silent and at a good distance.

They then both got in my face and physically forced me down the building stairs and into the street. But I sneaked around the side! And got some more shots. More to annoy them than anything else. They had no idea what to do with me. They had an audience as there is a restaurant next door and there was a crowd outside. I was cheered on by passers by.

I did tell them that I am an "SP" and asked how long they'd been on the RPF. That was fun indeed.

The dude in the tie can be seen inside, looking really pissed and furiously making phone calls to obtain directives as to what to do with me. I'd bet a dollar he was calling Steve Crandall.

Can you identify these two abusers of human rights? I was thoroughly amused by their apparent frustration. Wondering where they have landed now.



Routing out of my hood. Property values should be shooting up any time now.

Very nice indeed.

Lookin' Good!

Capitalization failure. Oh well, it'll be gone now.

Delphi doesn't agree with traditional spelling or grammar. Now you may clear "Of". Thank you for your 4.0 cooperation,

BUMP!

I dont get it. They were colsing down the church?

Yes, as stated in the title, I was "'body routed' from org for photos of closed 'church'". They were removing signage from the org, removing their signature, departing, leaving, saying adios. Interior was empty. They are now gone from my hood.

Sweeeeet

I've only lived here (across the street) from this now closed org for like two weeks. It really started to creep me out. Glad they're gone. I can feel the black cloud drifting away.

And another org bites the dust....

Good pics OP, don't make a habit of bothering the cult alone though.

Ask Drama Fag, he knows all of them.

True. I think I was overconfident because there were tens of people in the immediate vicinity. You're right though, they got pretty aggressive with me. Thanks for the reminder wolf.

Police's Sonichu. Not 'policies' ...

You look like one very sleepy Mod!

Nice.

Can you give a bit more information? Was this the main portland org? Did they move elsewhere?

This was the main Portland org. I've no idea where they are going next. I'd think they have set up shop somewhere downtown, where they have been for years.

And this on top of buying and losing the Stevens Building.

• Church of Scientology buys Stevens Building January 9, 2008, Portland Business Journal
• Scientologists' tall new home January 18, 2008, Stephen Beaven, The Oregonian

Which is strange, since they sold their old building for enough to cover most of that expense.

• $5M purchase paves way for Helmer building renovation August 1, 2008, Portland Business Journal

It kinda looks like $5M sort of disappeared. Oh Daaaavie....?

They could buy a house somewhere. Oh wait.

• The House That Wasn't There February 21, 2008, Matt Davis, Portland Mercury

And before that they were in the SW Salmon St. location, as they had been for years. This is the org where the shooting/hostage situation happened in 1996. http://blog.oregonlive.com/oregonianextra/2008/11/stories_about_the_scientology.html

Wow, haven't seen this one. Thanks.

And I forgot about this building next to the strip club:

This is a now defunct mission:

Thanks, OP, good job!

Ok, so if this was the main org, what is still in the area? Any more orgs or missions around?

Thanks! And not that I'm aware of. I think all the missions are gone Not really sure where to get info on that unless I can dig for data with a "friend" still inside. Here's the inside of the mission inside the chess club: lolllllz

last pix before they gone.

well done

I think it must be very wierd removing letters from the mission, if you were a member of that mission and volunteered to do so, or even if you are staff. I must be especially troubling if as a mission member and you plunked down a whole lotta dough for it in the past.
Wake up people!

I would think perhaps those were workers hired by the landlord...unless Scientology owned the building and I have no information on that.

Well, I'd think that too, except for the violent reaction.

Two weeks!! You really do have Super Entheta powas.

Nice job trolling the Scientology night workers. But you couldn't get fottage of them forcing you downstairs? Did they physically manhandle you? Please tell me someone got that on video.

So, this is David Nipplehead Miscavige's great plan to fight Anons: Make it difficult to pritest outside their orgs by making them so few and far in between we'll have trouble getting to one. Oh, the tech is so strong, can . not .. fight .... it.....

Thanks to Davie Miscavige to putting in place the policies that trashed the Portland org! They always seemed to be the exception to the rule that orgs only do things for good PR and safe-pointing. Year and year, the members of the org got involved in community projects because they really seemed to like doing it.

Now that this exception is gone, I feel much better. Thanks!

Dude, your sheer SPness shut 'em down from across the street... The Powah Of Negative Postulates XD

Srsly, good one, m8

If you wear the Lecter mask, they will fkin run dude

So much for the Freedom Crusade.
