Re: Scientology in Colombia Ahhh these fucking fucks... since they cant do well in Westernized Countries (US, Canada, UK, NZ, Australia) what we call white countries... now they are trying to prey upon the colored (developing nations that dont have immediate access to the internet) Basically these countries are still in 1960's in regards to communications. DC Fags... bombard the colombian embassy... there are religious fanatics that are equally bad or worse than FARC and narcoterrorists in their country.

Re: Scientology in Colombia But what % of banana pickers have a connection and a PC? I know a lot of Central Americans (mostly from El Salvidor and Guatamala) from work. Formal education, even grade school, is the exception. Many do not even know their own date of birth. They are not primitive they are stone-age. They aspire to be more like the Americans and westerners. They are perfect prey for CoS. Tourism and drugs mean there must be some money to be had. This is a very bad thing.
Re: Scientology in Colombia FARC, the Catholic church, local politicians (always looking for dirt on each other anyway) We are gonna have to PA someone to do this. We had a hard enough time getting our own data out of the Bahamas

We obtained it from our operatives who have tapped into this mailing list through an untraceable route. Several former Cof$ high-level people say this is VERY serious as Scientology has ulterior motives for their activities in Colombia, which will be described shortly. It all started with the Echavarria family of Colombia, a very powerful ruling family, converting over to Scientology a while back. It has now converted several top-level military and police, and this writing makes it plain that Scientology is attempting a takeover of the entire country's educational and economic infrastructure. The writer of this post is fairly high up in the Cof$ hierarchy and so this is reliable. What would this mean? Several things. First, Colombia would become the conduit by which Scientology could launder their money free from scrutiny. Second, they would have connections to the lucrative drug trade and would probably double or even triple their world-wide operating budget with clear ramifications for the United States and Europe; they'd be able to up their legal harassment budget as well as step up their illegal harassment by utilizing their new organized crime connection . Third, it would be the first country where Scientology can try their "tech" at a large scale. If you think what happened to Allstate was bad, wait until you see what will happen in Colombia should Cof$ succeed in seizing control. The people of Colombia would suffer badly and live in a psycho-fascist totalitarian state the likes of which have not been seen since World War II. L. Ron Hubbard, who founded Cof$, was a great admirer of Adolf Hitler and organized his rump- Church around Gestapo principles. This must be resisted at all costs, or it will spell big trouble for the International community, for freedom loving people everywhere, and for the people of Colombia.

Since the original report we have started delivery of the BSM to 12,000 high school students, which is in progress at this time. We are delivering to the Military enmasse and to the Police. Many great results have been obtained and further delivery is being planned by these agencies. We have 7 other High Schools, 42 elementary schools, and an entire State's educational system in the country wanting LRH's educational tech. We are also consulting the biggest businesses in the Country as a means of financing the social reform efforts. The debrief is long, but interesting. DW 17 Ap 95) October 27, 1994 This is a brief history of Scientology activities occurring in Colombia, South America over the past few years and resulting in some impressive recent stats. HISTORY Approximately 4 1/2 years ago Protectionism was thrown out of Colombia. The Governments of the past had Protectionism in as a means of controlling the economy. The result of Protectionism was a very high duty- as much as 400% on some products, if you wanted to buy something you had to buy Colombian. The other theory behind this was that it protected the jobs of the workers. It intended to create jobs by making it necessary to produce in the country. The actual effect was that companies only produced what was necessary for a low level of survival. The cost of products were high in relation to the wage base here. Because of the economic base companies found it hard to produce certain goods. An example is Hoescht, which is the Chemical company. I went to their factory in Cali, and saw equipment which was made back in the 1940s. The product manager told to me that during the Protectionism era they could not get in modern equipment because of the government rules and the cost of the duties. Now with The Opening which brought in competition they have to compete with world wide companies that have modern machines which have a higher quality product. One of the examples that he showed me was the packaging of the goods. It was done by hand. This takes much more time than having a machine do it. The Opening brought in outside influences. The country needed new ways in which to operate if it was to have a place in the world market. The result was the country had a chance to catch up with the rest of the world in the areas of economics, education and government. This created a "need of change" and a "demand for improvement" and new technology. This created a positive situation for us. This ground work plus our connection to the Echavarria family has opened the door for us. Our purpose is to fill that vacuum created, claiming as much ground as quickly as possible through the introduction of LRH technology to the government, military, police, education and business personnel . As our resources are minimal the most has to be made with the least. The businesses of Colombia realized that their work force could not "learn" fast enough the new Methodologies that were being introduced. Some attention went on to the quality of the school system. This is a major 'in' for LRH's study tech within the Educational system. As a result of this background we have been able to secure agreements with high ups in Government, Military, Police, Education and Business for the introduction of LRH tech. During the past administration I had excellent comm lines into the President's office. The President backed us through his P rivate Sec, which he had help us. The Private Sec helped us get appointments with some of the different Ministers. THE MILITARY. In 1993 I had a meeting with the Minister of Defense along with Enrique Garces Echavarria. At that meeting I was trying to get the Minister of Defense to back us in doing a WTH campaign there. At that time we gave him copies of POW, TWTH and the WIS book. He felt that at that time he could not have this campaign going because of the problems in the country. During this period of time there were a lot of car bombings going on and the drug lord Pablo Escobar was threatening to blow up the President's house and other government officials. In PT Pablo has since been found and killed, by the Military and the car bombings have stopped. The new Administration is now in. The New Minister of Defense, Fernando Botero, and I have a good comm line. Fernando was a Senator back in 1993 when Enrique and I talked to him. Fernando loves TWTH and remembered the campaign that was done before. He did have some black PR from the times article, which I handled with him. We gave Fernando a leather copy of TWTH and copies of POW and the WIS book. We are in the process of getting another appointment with him to go over some other idea's and delivery to the Police and Military. This year while delivering a workshop at INCOLDA (Institute Colombiano de Administracion- the institute which I originally started with, back in 1992) two Military Officers were attending. One was General Gil, he loved the data from POW and the talk on Book One. I offered our services to him and the next week we delivered a similar work shop to his officers at their Base. This was the start of our relationship with the Military. The Military's main function is to handle the guerrilla's, terrorists, bombings, kidnappings' and drug smuggling. The handling of these things has improved over the past few years, but isn't yet under control. General Gil has received Book One auditing and recently said he felt a leader to be a true Leader must know LRH's data on ARC and Ethics Presence. The Gene ral is being promoted later this year to one of the top administrators in the Military. He wants all of his Officers trained on ARC and Ethics Presence as well as Book One! We have the General, a Colonel, a Major, 80 other Officers and 140 soldiers who have completed at least one of our workshops and are supportive of LRH's tech, so far. They control an estimated 200,000 troops in the units of: Recruitment, Cavalry, Logistics, Artillery and a Fighting Battalion. RESOURCES: The Military has the space to deliver to 40 Officers at one time, but with the Military schools and auditoriums they have space for many more. The cost of the materials have been donated for this project in the past. The General is looking at ways to get this cost covered by the Military. Currently donation's are being solicited for the materials. We have a pack that is pending approval from WISE INT that consists of key issues from WISE materials. We have materials from the SHB to use in a workshop. Combined we can deliver, with current materials, to between 75-100 Military at one time. There are some scheduling problems, but they will work them out. The Military has named us as official Trainers, and Consultants by the issuance of an official Certificate. We plan to train Officers of the Military in how to deliver the SHB WORKSHOPS to the rest of the military, while we qual it. Set it up so that the training becomes a permanent part of their training program and new recruits are trained each year on LRH's tech. There are different units in the Military so there will be different training programs. Everybody gets study tech, Components of Understanding, and a Seminar on Dianetics. Depending on their posts, some will do the emotional tone scale, communication, how to resolve conflict, integrity and honesty, ethics and conditions, cause of suppression, tools for the work place, basics of organizing, targets and goals, investigations, fundamentals of public relationships. MAJOR TARGET: The Military trained on LRH tech enabling them to achieve the result of a country without insanity (the real enemy), without criminals (Mafia,Druglords) and without war (guerrillas and terrorists), where the able can prosper and honest being can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights which are the aims of Scientology. To make this goal and target real for the officers and soldiers of the Military. THE GENERAL General Gil is receiving his book one Auditing. It's more difficult with him, as each time there is some commotion in the country he has to get involved, but he loves his auditing, and the Auditor reports that he is a very theta guy and is getting great case gain. THE MAJOR The Major in the Military got his book one auditing and just loves it. He had to get an operation on his nose for some reason. The auditor gave him some assists after the operation and the nose healed very quick, so much so that the doctor could not believe it. He is very happy with the auditing and can not believe how well it is going. He has been transferred to a new post, as the Commandant for a battalion. He has invited me to the front lines to deliver more of LRH tech to his soldiers. It is in the fields of Colombia where the guerrillas are. We are going to work out some PR for the military between them and the people that live there. The guerrillas have the PR position with the people in the area. We are going to show the Military how to correct up the false data the guerrillas have given the people. I also had an idea ,which he liked, to put LRH's study tech into the schools there. Here we will train some of the soldiers to help deliver the study tech. We will be going to the front lines in a couple of weeks or so to start this. THE POLICE COMMISSARY & THEIR FINANCIAL SERVICE SECTION. We've started delivering to 400 policemen , from the Commissary Division, the Motivation and Leadership workshop, which is based on Problems of Work. Miguel, our M.D. staff member, is delivering to them at their place. He's doing them in small groups of 40-50 each and will complete the 400 in the next three weeks. NATIONAL POLICE Oct 26th 1994 we received a call from the General in charge of all the Police in Colombia. I met with him and gave him a copy of the WTH. We discussed our program on Motivation and Leadership. He got real interested and ordered in another General who is in charge of training for the Police in whole country. The General briefed him on our activities, and he liked them. We went into the 2nd General's office to work out the logistics. Before going into the second office, we agreed to keep in communication on the various projects, and he is supporting us. I have a free line into him in case I need anything. The General in charge of training and I went over the different programs that could be used with the Police. He was interested in our Motivation and Leadership workshop and called in the Colonel In charge of Academic standards. I spent about 15 minutes getting the comm line in with her. I found out she is basically in charge of the training of the future Officers of the police at their police academies. She went over the Motivational program and the one on Communication and said these were the ones they needed to do. They both went through the WTH booklet. The General really liked it. The Colonel had questions about it being religious. When I asked her about it, she said it was similar to the ten commandments. I explained to her that it was specifically designed not to be a religious work, that the morals had started to go out with the separation of the Church and State. She was more interested in the other 2 programs and wanted to start on this immediately. We are only going to start 345 student police cadets on the 18th of Nov., for 5 full days of POW and Communication (based on SHB) seminar. We will then work out the logs of getting all 6,000 officers in the country through the same training program. We are starting at the top and working our way down the Org board until all 102,000 police are gotten through some basic courses. This is a very rough idea, of course, with these numbers a whole program will have to be mocked up to make sure the goals and purposes are achieved. In fact, the General, told her to work out the funds for this project in next years budget. The funds will help pay for the materials. (Since the writing of this we have delivered the POW seminar to the Police Academy. They loved it. The Officer in charge is working out how to make it a permanent part of their training program and has asked us to help him with the 450 high schools and colleges he deals with.) METRO POLICE Two days ago I closed two Colonels in charge of the 8,000 Metropolitan police on the Communication, PR, and the WTH programs. Because of the logistics we are not starting them all this year. But, we are doing a pilot of 50 starting Nov. 15th. These are the street police. The Colonel in charge of training who I set the program up with started the Motivational and Leadership workshop on 27 Oct. Along with her there were 20 other Officers from the Military doing the same workshop. EDUCATION HISTORY About 50% of the children of Colombia do not get to go to H.S. (6-11th grades- there is no Junior High School in Colombia) because there are not enough school buildings and not enough teachers. The teachers are paid very poorly and many moonlight to make ends meet. A State test called EFAS (we don't know the validity of it) shows the main problem with those children who get through school to have only a 5% ability to duplicate what they read. The students have to buy their own materials, but the can't afford new materials. Instead they buy hand-me-downs and photocopy's. The school system is so poor that they cannot afford hot water for showers after P.E. The upper and "middle" classes send their children to private schools. The average household income of the families from this area is about $400 a month. The average family has 3.5 children. They don't make enough to be taxed except by 'sales tax' There is not enough tax base to support more education by the present means of taxation. In the USA it is figured to cost $3000 per student per year to educate them. The average household income for the students going to public schools in Colombia in less than $5000 per year. The schools have very few dictionaries or materials for the classes. They provide a desk and a teacher and a piece of chalk, which the teachers hold onto to prevent loss. The teacher with an average of 6 years university education makes about $600 a month after 18 years in the system. The teachers have a very strong union which is trying to improve conditions and wages, but not so much the educational standards. The teaching methodology is psychology based, and is imported from Europe and the US. There is very little drug problem in the schools, but the older students do dr ink on the weekends. There are no gangs, and violence if any is a very rare occurrence, besides an occasional fight between students. Because of the lack of space in the school, the students line up after elementary school, to apply for admission to the High Schools. Most students want to learn and realize that it is a privilege to be in High School. The schools operate on 2 sessions..morning and afternoon. At Kennedy H.S., the largest in Bogota, they have about 3500 students in the morning, and 3400 in the afternoon. The drop out rate is approximately 50%. The Principal states the reason for this is financial and family problems at home (we know different). The children find it necessary to enter the work force to help support themselves and their families. About 2 years ago, while doing a safe pointing project with the WIS book, and meeting with the different Ministers of Colombia, we had a conversation with the then Minister of Education. We brought him copies of WIS, the BSM, POW and the WTH. He showed some interest in the BSM and referred us to the terminal who was responsible for implementing new programs in the school system. A proposal was done up for a pilot program to deliver to 150 teachers and administrative personnel in the Dept. of Education. Because of administrative red tape, and even thou the program was approved, the actual starting never occurred. The original Minister of Education resigned as he was running for another office. The terminal we were working with was transferred, and the new terminal was very busy with the new Minister of Education. With our comm line to the Presidents office, and with his authorization, his private sec'y arranged for an appointment with a new terminal within the Ministry of Education. We met with him and asked how to get the program in. He recommended bypassing the Ministry and Sec'y of Education and go right to the schools. He gave us a list of all the schools in Colombia. One person was put on phoning the schools. He immediately got 12 schools interested. Promoting was stopped as we were exceeding the delivery capacity. The first school approached in person was Kennedy H.S. I brought the BSM and the POW and gave it to the Principal. I did the Dissem formula on him. He said, "This is what we need . Lets start it out in the Spanish dept." He brought in the Director of the Spanish Dept. and explained to him that we were going to educate all the Spanish teachers (39) and they in turn would educate the children. We started with these 39 teachers. We had major scheduling problems because of their work loads. There was some disagreement with the program. I went in and talked to the teachers individually and also sent Jackie De Lorenzo to talk to the teachers. She's bilingual. The basic found was the Director of the Spanish Dept., did not give them a proper R-factor on what we were doing or why, and there was a general dislike of the Director by the teachers. With the findings I talked to the Principal of the school. He was new at the school and hadn't realized the problems with the Spanish Dir. He personally took over the Program with the result that the teachers got more respect for it. Part of the debug , due to the teachers lack of time, was to directly deliver to the students while the teachers were finishing their BSMs. I then realized that with the number of students, this school has 6980, we lacked enough terminals for delivery. I found out that 11th graders are required to put in 80 hours a year in social programs. I asked the Director if there was anyway we could train some of these students to help us with the delivery at Kennedy and at the Elementary schools. He said "yes" and gave us 160 students in the morning and another 160 in the afternoon. These students are in the 10th grade. This will enable us to train them up for delivery next year, when they are in the 11th grade. So we have 320 students for 1.5 years, who will be part time staff in this social reform program. In January 1995 we get another 320 10th graders, so we will have a continuing supply of staff to deliver LRH's tech into the different areas of Bogota. The principal has taken the extraordinary step of making sure the students who are on this pjt are not separated and not put onto other pjts without his approval, so this pjt does not get unmocked. In PT we have 40 students who are on the "TTC" and we are working out space to get the other 260 in and started. The 60 students are nearing completion of the BSM and will be going onto the SHB courses. The students are all up tone, have done a complete line of tests, and are there on their own determinism. We still haven't worked out the best utilization of the kids. One idea is to put the study and communication tech into the Elementary schools, and some will put study and communication tech into 6th through 8th grades in the different schools. They lack the altitude and ethics presence to deliver workshops to their peers. Another pjt will be to have them help in a different organization called ICBF (Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar). This Institute is basically an organization working to help the family and is oriented towards small children. One of its major programs is a pre-school system which is run out of homes in different sections of the com munity for working mothers to put their children. This was the previous First Ladies idea. She wanted our help in training these mothers. The present time idea is to put in the assist and basic Child Dianetics tech with the pre-school mothers. But as we find out more of what is needed and wanted this could change. We started approximately 1800 of the Kennedy H.S. on the BSM workshop. More teachers in different Dept's have gotten interested in our help and have asked for help in debugging their students in different areas. Some of these teachers also teach at other schools, and have requested we go into those schools as well. This represents 15,000 additional students. With all the schools interested we have approximately 40,000 students. The Principal of Kennedy after seeing the results of this years program wants to have it implemented in all the schools in Colombia. He wants to be able to show the Principal's at their annual conference next year, the results from this program. He is an opinion leader in the system as the Principal of the largest school in Colombia, and , quite possibly, in South America. We have closed two High Schools in Bogota on delivering the Basic Study Manual to their students. The first of the two is Kennedy High with 6890 students. The other is Tunal High with 5000 students. That is a total of 11,980 students that are in the process of starting. At Tunal High we do not have the agreement to use the students as assistants, so we will use Kennedy's to help us with the delivery at Tunal , by using them to grade exercises over the mid-year holiday, which runs from 4 Nov. To 4 Feb.. At Kennedy the teachers return 2 weeks earlier than their students so that they can receive training. This year we will be training all of them on the BSM at that time. This has the full backing and support of the Principal, who himself has done a couple of LRH's courses and loves the tech. He knows the program can't work if the teachers don't understand and apply the 'methodology' standardly throughout the school. What we are proposing to these different area's (Education, Military and Police) is that we set up their training units. Which will in turn help us with their on going training. Even doing it at that rate we have 300 teachers to train in 2 weeks in Jan 95, for Kennedy H.S. alone. Doing this in a workshop still requires that we have about 10 trained Sups who are, handling the teachers exclusively. We've got our hands full on this one. The Principal of Kennedy High has asked for our help with a project that has been dumped on him by the gov't. As I mentioned to you before, only 50% of the children graduating from Elementary school enter High School. This is due to lack of teachers. The real reasons for this in the future will have to be looked at so it can actually be debugged, but in the meantime Congress has passed a law in which the Elementary Schools will now teach 1st through 9th grades, instead of 1st through 5th. This is 2 years short of the normal high school program. The think behind this is that a basic education can be done within this time. The Principal at Kennedy has been assigned the project of overseeing and guiding 42 Elementary schools in his vicinity with this new program. He has no idea how this is going to work, for the gov't has given no additional supplies, teachers or money for this. So, one of the bright ideas to handle this on a cope basis is to take all the 10th and 11th graders and train them on the BSM, the Communication Course, and have them help in the Elementary Schools during their 80 hours of community service in the 11th grade. The Principal also realized that the earlier the children learn how to learn or get LRH's study tech in, the less problems and the better the education they will receive down the line. The school system is now in its last couple weeks before its 3 month break and the Principal is PTP'd with getting everything ready for the end of the semester. We are going to meet sometime during the break, and I will get more data to handle this little project he has. The 42 schools have an estimated 67,000 students. We well get more reliable data when I meet with him again. So as you can see we have a real logs and delivery situation to work out in the very near future. It is kind of a relief that we have 3 months before the new school year, so we can regroup the troops. This Principal is a very theta being and easy to work with because he is willing and has not put any CI on the lines as far as getting the tech in. We are working with him on doing a PR campaign and our student assistants will be doing surveys on the students. And he is going to have us do surveys on the teachers so the tech is more easily acceptable and more importantly applied in the course room. Some of the teachers also come to study , along with the students, on their time off . Three of the teachers have commented that they can't believe these are the same students for they are really studying, learning and applying the material they are reading . They are very well behaved. One couldn't believe that when a group of 5 arrived late, the supervisor had them clean windows, and they didn't even argue about it. She went on for about 15 minutes about how much change had occurred in them in such a short period of time, and she wanted the secret data on how this could occur in her course room. This same teacher is now bringing her own two children in to do the BSM and the Communication section out of the Handbook. Today, we had a teacher drive from a city outside of Bogota, which takes about 2.5 hours, to ask us if she could work with us full time, delivering Ron's tech, and is willing to leave her position in the school she is at now. So, the results are showing and increasing every week with the tech going in.

Re: Scientology in Colombia Oh god damnit this is from 1995. Yeah, we need updated information to package this with. Media isn't interested in a 14 year-old E-mail unless it can be tied to things going on today. Time to get into research mode- what else can we figure out?
Re: Scientology in Colombia Their new poster-boy is this guy: Andrés López Forero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I looked at the news articles linked in the Wiki piece, and the second one -- Los nuevos creyentes, Articulo Impreso Archivado -- pretty much laid the cult bare (according to Babelfish). However, while Colombia has a decent literacy rate, only 27% of the population uses the Internet; and I don't even know if the article is from a particularly popular website.
Re: Scientology in Colombia From the old email - "Minister of Defense, Fernando Botero" : that would be this chap then? Fernando Botero Zea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Re: Scientology in Colombia All that means is that they've found another public official to corrupt. We all know that the Scilons are ones to make outlandish claims in their e-mails (Seriously, you're all going down there on the Freewinds? Good luck with that.) but I'm willing to believe that they may very well have gotten a corrupt police official to help with lit distribution. And that sucks.
Re: Scientology in Colombia Gee, those are the same social strata dealing with our convicted felon scientologist Richard Weigand, from the same Echaverria political persuasion. He must have been charged close to after his dealings with "third party" Richard Weigand. (It's like the authorities had access to "Theta News Exchange.") When the religious missionary ship Freewinds reaches the Colombian harbor, take pictures and measure how high the ship sits in the water. Do the same before it leaves port, and compare how much cargo it took on. (The DEA won't do this, because they do dirty work for scientology).
Re: Scientology in Colombia Do we have ANY Anons in Columbia? Are there any anti-scientology or cult groups there we can get ahold of? It may be time to outsource a little.
Re: Scientology in Colombia I am glad you made me look this up. The majority of the population (58%) is mestizo, or of mixed European and Amerindian ancestry. 20% is of European ancestry only, 14% mulatto (of mixed European and black African ancestry), 4% of black African ancestry only, and 3% zambo (of mixed Amerindian and black African ancestry). Pure indigenous Amerindians comprise only 1% of the population.[2] The overwhelming majority of Colombians speak Spanish (see also Colombian Spanish), but in total 101 languages are listed for Colombia in the Ethnologue database, of which 80 are spoken today as living languages. Come on comparing FARC with handing out way to happness books?--Really? I hope your not the real Leroy Jenkins I like him
Re: Scientology in Colombia Definitely, Argentina was our first big one, hopefully that will help spread the message in South America. Bogota has a Class V org, and although we are trying, we haven't been able to contact people in Colombia willing to bring the Anon message to the Scilons door steps over there. However, I do think is a matter of time before we do so. So far we are trying to get some Anons in Venezuela to follow Argentina's foot steps. We have our fingers crossed on that. Also, the cult is expanding in South America as their numbers and $$$ goes down in USA, Europe and Australia. This has its pros and cons for them. On one hand they have to reduce their prices so the local can afford them, on the other it will be a lot easier for them to bribe politicians and gain more influence.

Re: Scientology in Colombia It is generally easier to bribe in thirld world countries (I used to work for an investment bank and the countries are occasionally ranked by an independant org and usually it's related to the wealth of the country) but I am dubious that it is easier for them to get influence in these countries. I suspect that in countries that have coups every now and then that leaders are very worried about people getting too much power. btw on the corruption rankings USA was disappointingly low something like 100th or 140th best practicies for corruption in the world.

Here is some information from Lucy and Rosser Cole who are active Scientologists in the LA area. I hope this provides you with data which will help in your decision. Love, Sigal =========================================== Lucy & Rosser Cole , 2000 Hill Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90041 lrcole@earthlink.net October 19, 2000 Voting Recommendations for Election, November 7th , 2000 Dear Friends, "In Vice President Al Gore's mind, nothing is riskier than letting taxpayers keep more of their money." Thus begins an article in the Los Angeles Daily Journal on October 3rd. This is one of the many reasons why I oppose Al Gore for President of the United States. He is a strong advocate of ever bigger government influencing and/or controlling more and more aspects of our lives. At a time when the government takes more of our, the taxpayers, money than at any time since World War II, Gore would only grant any form of tax relief to the "right people", i.e., people who do what he wants them to do (have young children or children in college, put money in government-controlled retirement funds, need help with health insurance, and don't make too much money.) One commentator called his tax cut plan "a whole bunch of government spending programs run by the Internal Revenue Service." (Note: when you hear any politician talk of "tax credits" or "tax incentives" or "targeted tax cuts," they are saying that they want to make our incredibly complex tax code even more complicated.) Governor Bush, on the other hand, wants to simplify the tax code and make it easier for people to keep the money they have earned. A former governor of the Federal Reserve wrote, "the biggest economic and social problem in the tax code is what Gov. Bush calls the tollgate to the middle class. Working families supporting themselves on modest incomes find that much of any material progress they make is taken in taxes. A single mother with two children making $25,000 loses almost half of any raise she gets in taxes." Bush's tax plan would take many people in lower income brackets off the tax rolls altogether, giving them a chance to get ahead. He would also cut the marginal tax rates of 28% and 31% to 25%, which means that people in this bracket would work only 10 hours out of a 40-hour week for the federal government. The top bracket would be reduced to 33%, which means no one would work more than four months out of a year for the federal government. Gore's plans for Social Security, education, and medical care all rely on a bigger federal government taking care of us, whereas Bush's plans allow for smaller government, individual initiative and personal responsibility. Regarding Bush's background and roots, a Texas Democrat wrote in the New York Times, "In [Texans'] view freedom is so intertwined with individual risk that the two are almost indistinguishable at the core. I strongly resent the presumption of a bureaucracy that meddles in everyone's life instead of focusing on the few bad actors who live outside the social contract. Jefferson didn't write the Declaration of Independence, and Washington didn't cross the Delaware, so we could create a government to protect us from ourselves." Gore is a proponent of Mental Health Parity. I consider this dangerous. Psychiatry's dictionary, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, has been criticized by medical and psychiatric experts as unreliable and unscientific. It characterizes many normal behaviors, such as coffee-drinking and childhood exuberance, as mental illnesses. The most prevalent form of mental health "treatment" today is psychiatric drugs, such as Prozac, Xanax, Zoloft, Ritalin, etc.-which have been the medications used by school yard murderers such as Kip Kinkel in Oregon, the lead Columbine shooter and most of the other tragic school killers. Many of the bizarre workplace and family murders in recent years have also been committed by people on psychiatric drugs. This fact has been mentioned in a few articles in the national press, but is not broadly known. However, if you read articles on these murders through to the end, you will find that the perpetrator was on "medication for depression" or a specific psychiatric drug. I believe that a President Gore would pour more federal money into such psychiatric treatments, which would make our schools and workplaces more dangerous. George W. Bush has spent six years governing the second-largest state in the Union, where he has worked well with both Democrats and Republicans. In my viewpoint, he is the best candidate for President. In the United States Senate race, I highly recommend Tom Campbell, a Republican with libertarian leanings. Campbell advocates replacing the federal income tax with a national sales tax, an idea I strongly support. Our current income tax system is incredibly wasteful, inefficient and unfair. Politicians like it because it allows them to give away benefits (tax breaks) to large donors or to those it considers the "right people." It takes trillions of dollars away from the American people, then gives the money to the programs the politicians deem to be best for us-or for them. The term "pork barrel" originated before the Civil War, when slaveholders would distribute salt pork to their slaves from huge barrels. This provides an interesting perspective on the income tax system… In an interview, Campbell said, "If the federal government does not collect data from the federal income tax, it tremendously enhances freedom. Government doesn't have to know about you. Whether you are paying alimony. Receiving alimony. How many children you have. Where your home is. Do you have a second home? Where your business or property is. All of that becomes irrelevant if they are not collecting personal income taxes." He has received the "Taxpayer Hero" award from Citizens Against Government Waste, and the highest rating from the National Taxpayers Union. His opponent, Dianne Feinstein, was rated as the biggest pork-barrel spender in the Senate in 1994, and came in second in that category last year. Campbell has also refused to take any special interest PAC [Political Action Committee] money. Another issue in which Campbell's ideas directly align with mine is his viewpoint that the War on Drugs is an extraordinarily expensive failure, and that the billions of dollars we are spending on locking up non-violent drug-users would be far better spent on rehabilitating them. He thinks the $1.3 billion dollars we are going to spend to get involved in Colombia's civil war-which has been going on for thirty-five years-has very real parallels to our tragic involvement in Vietnam, and is a mistake. Since the Department of Education was established in 1979, public education has been on a downward spiral. Campbell believes that the federal government should get out of education. He states, "The Constitution says nothing about a federal role in education , so I recommend that we step back, turn most K-12 decisions back over to the states, and let them decide how best to spend their funds." Tom Campbell has a background as law professor at Stanford University and Congressman from San Jose. I strongly recommend him for United States Senator. In the Los Angeles County District Attorney race, I recommend a vote for Steve Cooley. The incumbent, Gil Garcetti, has applied the "three strikes" law so stringently that many third-strike defendants have received life terms for petty offenses-a waste of human life and taxpayer money. He has been very slow in handling the fallout from the Rampart scandal in the Los Angeles Police Department, which has seriously undermined the credibility of the justice system in this county. Steve Cooley is a head deputy district attorney with a reputation for honesty, integrity, and effective hands-on management. He would inject some needed balance on three-strikes prosecutions by concentrating third-strike charges on violent and serious felonies. He's outspoken about the need to re-evaluate policy in light of the Rampart scandal. I plan to vote for Steve Cooley. I don't have the time or space to go into the races in smaller districts, but there are a few candidates I will mention briefly that I feel are the better choices: 27th Congressional District: James Rogan (Burbank, Glendale, and most of Pasadena) California State Senate 19th District: Tom McClintock (Northridge) California State Assembly 43rd District: Craig Missakian (most of Burbank, Glendale, Los Feliz, Silverlake, and part of Hollywood) PROPOSITIONS Proposition 32-Veterans' Bond Act of 2000. While I usually oppose bonds (which are governments' way to borrow money), I have no objections to this one. The state sells bonds, and uses the money to buy farms and homes, which are then re-sold to California veterans. As the vets pay off their mortgages, the money goes to pay off the bonds and to pay the administrative costs of the program. The program has been going on since 1921 (with frequent renewals), without cost to the taxpayers. Vote Yes. Proposition 33-State Legislators' Retirement Plan. Constitutional Amendment. State legislators participate in Social Security and can invest in their own retirement accounts (IRA's), if they wish. Prior to 1990, they could also participate in the state Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS), which provides retirement benefits to a majority of state government workers. Proposition 140, passed by the voters in November 1990, prohibited legislators from that time forward from earning any new retirement benefits, other than Social Security. The legislative reforms of Prop 140 were aimed at cutting the perks and breaking the influence of the career politicians. California taxpayers already pay the employer's share of Social Security and Medicare for state legislators. If state legislators were allowed to join PERS again, the taxpayers would be paying the employer's share of payroll taxes into two funds to pay for legislators' retirement. My viewpoint is that if a state legislator wants to increase his retirement plan, he can invest his own money in an IRA, as other citizens do. Vote No. Proposition 34-Campaign Contributions and Spending Limits. In today's society, the only way to get information to all citizens is through the mass media-radio, TV and newspaper ads, and mailings. This costs a lot of money. People who are already well-known, such as career politicians and celebrities, get a lot of media exposure for free because they are considered "newsworthy." When the campaign finance rules are "reformed," as they were after Watergate in 1974, incumbents and the two major political parties find ways to make the new rules work for them. (When I worked for the Perot campaign in 1992, I became aware of the degree to which the election laws have been written to favor the Democrat and Republican parties, and exclude minor parties and their candidates. Witness the controversy this year over the fact that the Green Party and Reform Party candidates for President were excluded from the presidential debates.) Limiting the amount of money individuals and groups can give to candidates gives an additional edge to incumbents, who are already in the news and well-known, and helps to stack the deck against challengers and minor parties. I personally feel that all contribution limits should be abolished, and that the only true campaign finance reform is immediate disclosure on the internet of all donations. Voters can then see where a candidate's money is coming from, and make their own decisions as to whether this is a problem or not. Vote No. Proposition 35-Use of Private Contractors on Public Works Projects. Constitutional Amendment. This proposition would allow the state and local governments to hire private architects and engineers, instead of using only state employees. The state is about to embark on a large number of transportation projects. If it has to hire and train state workers to do all the work, it will be difficult to lay them off in a few years when the work is done. It makes much more sense to have the flexibility to use both state and private sector professionals. Vote Yes. Proposition 36-Drugs Probation and Treatment. This is an idea that is long overdue. It would require drug treatment and probation instead of prison for non-violent drug-users. (People making or selling drugs would still be considered criminals and incarcerated.) An estimated 36,000 people each year would go into drug rehabilitation programs instead of state prisons and county jails. State prison operating costs would be reduced by $200-250 million per year, state parole operating costs would be reduced by $25 million each year, and county jail costs would be reduced by $40 million each year. Currently, violent criminals are being released because the prisons are so crowded with non-violent drug-users. This will stop. Most important of all, drug addicts can be turned into productive citizens who stop committing crimes to support their habits. In 1996, Arizona voters passed a similar initiative. Their Supreme Court reported millions of dollars in savings and a success rate of 61% in treating drug users in the first two years. The War on Drugs has been an incredibly expensive, abysmal failure. It's time to do something more effective. Vote Yes. Proposition 37-Fees and Taxes. Constitutional Amendment. Taxes-such as income, sales, and property taxes-are used to pay for general public services like education, transportation, and the courts. Regulatory fees pay for programs which regulate certain businesses to achieve particular public goals, e.g., smog check fees, restaurant fees to pay for health inspections, and fees on paint companies to pay for screening children for lead-poisoning. Currently, state taxes require a two-thirds approval of the legislature, but fees only require a majority vote. This proposition would require a two-thirds vote of the legislature before imposing new fees. (The proposition includes a similar change from a majority to two-thirds vote for fees imposed by local governments.) Future legislators could decide that we need a fee on disposable diapers to pay for the landfill space they use, or a fee on fatty foods to pay for a health program for people who eat them. All such fees, of course, are added on to the price that we, the consumers, pay for these products. If you've looked at your telephone or utility bill lately, you'll observe an outrageous number of fees and taxes that you already pay for each of those services. Government at all levels has an insatiable desire for more of your money, which it then uses to pay for special programs to buy the votes of various interest groups. Raising the requirement from a majority to a two-thirds vote makes it harder for politicians to levy special fees on businesses, which are then passed on to consumers. Vote Yes. Proposition 38-School Vouchers. Constitutional Amendment. Prop. 38 would give $4,000 per student per year to go to a private school of his/her choice. It would be available to all current public school students and all kindergarten students in the 2001-2002 school year. For all students currently in private schools, the scholarships would be phased in over four years. All current state and local laws regulating private schools would remain in effect, but any new state laws regulating private schools would require a three-fourths vote of the legislature. Any new local laws regulating private schools would require a two-thirds vote of the local government and a majority vote of the people in the affected area. Federal, state and local governments control almost 90% of American education. This education monopoly has allowed too many children to receive an inferior education at a high cost. Introducing competition and choice into the system will bring higher quality at less cost, as it has in all other areas of American enterprise. Vote Yes. Proposition 39-55% Local Vote on School Bonds. Constitutional Amendment This proposition would enable local school districts to raise property taxes for school repair and construction with just 55% of voters approval, instead of the 66% currently required. This is the same proposal that was defeated in the March, 2000 primary, with the exception that the required approval rate has been raised from 50% on the March ballot to 55% on the November ballot. At a time of unprecedented government surpluses, the government is trying to make it easier for it to take more of your money to put the state further in debt. Vote No. Hope this helps.

Anyway, he went back to his country in May. I got a comm from Juan Pablo's aunt and Juan Pablo was graded as top student in his entire school for his English/Grammar knowledge!

With YOUR help (ANY HELP) we CAN make it! Read the letter below which explains all about the project - Ml, Emi Goldstein Dear Scientologist: Hi, I am writing you because we need your help urgently !!! As a Scientologist in the upper band of The Bridge, I know you are aware about the importance for you in making available LRH’s Tech for everybody in the world. You would probably know, in the 2003 LRH birthday event, Bogota org was named as one of the orgs in the planet that will reach the Saint Hill size and be the ideal org to lead the field in Latin America. We are actually involved in the action to buy a new building to make this postulate real and we are short of time. This project has been developed following the same succesful pattern experienced in making real Tampa, Johanesburg, Buffalo, and San Francisco orgs. Now is Bogota time and this project is top priority. Such is the importance of this Org that Continental management has here an S.O. project that is recruiting the best Scientologists of the area to be org staff. You can see that this is not just a MEST project but a project that would create an Org just as LRH wanted – an Ideal Org. However, we have just a week to complete the payment to purchase the new building and 1 million US dollars are still needed now. Regarding the fact that the release of the upper part of The Bridge depends on orgs reaching Saint Hill size and our responsibility on Planetary Clearing, it is in the interest of every Scientologist in the world to be involved in this project. Helping with this project, you will be helping in the establishment of a permanent base that will create a better world.

May name is Jorge Rubiano I live in Bogotá, Colombia South America where we have an expanding org. I am also a dentist and I have been on the Church for the last 15 years. I just came from Clearwater after finishing the 3 special rundowns having spectacular wins. I am actually working in 2 important projects for me and that is the reason I am mailing this to you. First, as I am a green card holder, I am getting the license to practice dentistry in California so I can put a second dental clinic to work in esthetics dentistry that is my field, and I can continue working in the US near to an advanced org. So if you know some dentist that could be interested in joining me in establishing a new dental clinic or to work with I would appreciate the comm. line. On the other hand, I am interested in coming out of NE in 2D finding a person interested in moving up being actively in services in the Church, a person that lives in the US and could join me in Colombia while I develop this plan about establishing myself in there, for any person interested I have an open line through this email address. So I am happy to be with you and I will continue reading your communications!!!! My email address is jrubiano@elsitio.net.co Best ARC Jorge )))) -----Original Message----- From: Jorge Rubiano Sent: Saturday, April 09, 2005 4:57 PM To: Main-List@supertheta.com Subject: [Main-List] From Jorge Rubiano in Colombia Souhtamerica In regards that I am interested in coming out of NE in 2D finding a person interested in moving up being actively in services in the Church, and a person that lives in the US and could join me in Colombia while I develop this plan about establishing myself in the US, you can see my bio in the free spirit singles under the name of latinot.

In regards the interest shown from some of you about my work as a dentist, I would like to give you some reality in regards what is dentistry in Colombia Any dental treatment of good quality could be 70% less expensive in my office or in any dental office in Colombia than any good dental office in the US. Why is that? handwork is very cheap in South America. I have treated several patients, that came here and have their teeth fully repaired with the best up dated techniques and including, fun time, tickets, hotel etc, what they pay is by far less expensive than any place in the US. Near to my office there is an org, several hotels, and here there is a very nice and safe environment. Bogotá, that is the main city has a flight time of 3 hours from Miami, shorter that the route LA- MIA. Airport is 20 minutes away from my office. Quality of professional services is much better in South America than Central America I have been visited by patients form Clearwater, London, LA, Miami and NY with excellent results Any questions please write to me at : Jorge Rubiano DDS Dentist Esthetic dentistry jrubiano@elsitio.net.co -----Original Message----- From: Jorge Rubiano Sent: Sunday, April 24, 2005 5:18 PM To: Main-List@supertheta.com Subject: [Main-List] FRom Jorge Rubiano in Colombia South America handlingNE in 2D Dear Friends: First of all thank you very much for the ideas support and incoming messages regarding my interest in handling NE in 2D. I would like to give some more data about myself rearding this intention. I am a 45 years old dentist, I have a succesful dental practice that is going to be in phase 2 in the next months. My plan is to set up another clinic in California when I get the license there next year. During this process I am on training and shortly I will finish my level 4 also I will start the OT levels briefly.

Re: Scientology in Colombia I had an acquaintance who was getting her OT8 on the Freewinds in December 2008. They were in Cartagena, Colombia and had everyone on the boat off of their courses and disseminating "The Way to Happiness" to all local law enforcement (and handing them out on the streets for that matter). She said that the "General" (some Colombian Militia type) met with the guys on the ship and will be handing out The Way to Happiness to all military personnel. They're obviously keeping up the work in that part of the world...sigh.
Re: Scientology in Colombia Even worse, it might not be the case... Corruption is not the only way to get what you want.
Re: Scientology in Colombia Money changing hands is not the only way to corrupt a public official, just FYI.
Re: Scientology in Colombia Pardon the thread necrophilia. General Gil was probably Carlos Julio Gil Colorado. Interesting thing is HE HAD BEEN DEAD for a couple of months when Dick Weigand wrote this report. $50 MILLONES POR ASESINOS DEL GENERAL GIL COLORADO - Archivo - Archivo Digital de Noticias de Colombia y el Mundo desde 1.990 - eltiempo.com
