致殘山達基功臣(更新)

賀伯特的親生長子,與賀伯特打天下多年,終於不相信而離教。美國和法國法庭,以賀伯特自己的指令判決山達基教會敗訴。賀伯特的謊言,經不起時間考驗。賀伯特寫的「快樂之道」,謠傳在哥倫比亞怎樣「轟動」,事實上並沒有碰學校,因爲在墨西哥,發生教育界醜聞,沒有人敢承認,等待在學校散發的快樂之道傳單,是誰負責的。高雄教育部,是臺灣之恥,世界之恥。

Meet a Scientologist - Niki Lanik (updates)

Niki Lanik is the official sports celebrity of Scientology.  Many if not most Scientologists would put him as the favorite sports person on Facebook.

It is so laughable.  If you haven't noticed, Scientologists can't criticize other Scientolgists, unless they get approval from the church.  This is part of the love bomb treatment in exchange for money.  If you start criticizing, you may criticize senior members of the church, have your own mind, start to doubt, and then find out the reality about Miscavige or even Hubbard.

This is the same as evolution without natural selection.  Evolution, which LRH sort of believed in, would have failed without criticism from nature.

I would have done with him if not for his recent press release.  Without specific cause for it, it just sounded like retirement announcement.  This looked like one last PR exercise for the cult before he becomes useless or even detrimental.

Niki would distance himself from Scientology when he's doing public relation exercises on "human rights".  The whole of Youth for Human Rights International is such a PR organization.  (But recently it turned into a money making pyramid scheme in India.) 

In fact his parents are both OTVIII, the highest status of spiritual achievement in Scientology.  The whole family would have spent much more money on the church than what they currently live in - a lousy farm house near St. Hill, the spiritual headquarter of Scientology in England.  It's not bad at all, but for the value of the house, you can't get a decent family house in any decent city in the South East of England.

He became a church celebrity even when he was driving the cute Clio, in national races.  The church of Scientology was so happy that they made an official video for that - Niki driving the little Clio.

The problem began when he went on to drive a Porsche, in the 3rd class amateur European race GT3.  His Porsche team performance took a nose dive hit that year.  All because he was the main driver, taking part in all the rounds of races!  But because he took part in all the races, he got all the merger points that the team has, and more than other Porsche teams that split the driving among drivers.  Therefore he got the Porsche cup.

The whole thing seems to be a setup, didn't it?  And 3rd class amateur racing teams need not much money to buy favors from.  With no track record on international races, Niki became the star driver of a team using Porsche road cars.  Just by letting him drive in all the races, he was guaranteed to win the Porsche cup beforehand.  The cup and Porsche doesn't mean a thing for racing fans.  But it is something to write on press releases that are not outright lies.

I would expect that was the end of his racing career.  He managed to get into another team, also using Porsche cars.  But his performance got worse.  I don't know why they let him drive other than that he got some "sponsors".  But the sponsorship was just enough to let him drive a token few races.

His racing career would have ended in 2010.  But the funny thing happened in 2011.  He was called in short notice to drive in a GT3 endurance race, to replace Arnoud Peyroles, who was just too tall for the two other drivers.  The Team manager Ingo Leipert can verify: "The three registered drivers didn't harmonize from point of view of their total height. This is a big problem since the seat cannot be adjusted in the Lamborghini."

So Niki got to drive one more time, a Lamborghini, and made an official PR video for that.  The team didn't complete the endurance race, meaning the car failed.

Now the gossip column begins.  The follow are not pure speculations but I do not have full evidence, or too lazy to present them properly, to support my opinion and observations.

With no luck in Europe, fat chance in America, Niki approached the amateur racing circuits in Japan and even Taiwan.  I wouldn't say he's that bad, but he wouldn't have got any church sponsors driving a Nissan.

A bad racing driver isn't a bad thing.  But he and his organizers would have been jailed in US and EU, for breaching rules of advertising standards.  Many Taiwanese students thought that he is a formula one driver, and brought his expensive signed pictures and posters.  Treasure them guys.  These memorabilia are not sold anywhere else in the world for that price, because it would be illegal the way they convince people to buy them.

In case you are curious about him after early retirement.  Since he will have little to inherit, he got himself a beautiful, rich, much taller, and much older girl friend.  I'm happy for them.  But to be mean, I think she loves young boys, has Snow White complex, and has fetish for tiny dwarfs.  It's all good.  Nobody deserves to be disposed of silently without sorrow.  She will be his passport to America, via a boy friend visa.  He started selling off his belongings in UK by the way.

ps My multi-language intelligent input software is getting too clever.  It played hide and seek with me after upgraded to Linux kernel 3.0.  All my work and therefore home computers have to be EN by default.  So you won't be seeing ZH for a little bit more.

Meet a Scientologist — Niko Papaheraklis

Niko is an active supporter of, and organizer at, Youth for Human Rights, a Scientology front group.

Niko Papaheraklis is a manager at Finecraft Contractors, which is founded by his father George Papaheraklis.

George is a big time Scientology donor, earning he and his wife Founding Patron status.  Niko promotes Scientology since he was 12, then known as Nicholas Papaheraklis.

Finecraft Contractors is classified by WISE as tradesman, though according to George, he studied architecture in a university course.  As a WISE company, Finecraft is obliged to spread Scientology by all means, often lead to employment discrimination lawsuits elsewhere.

WISE companies use Hubbard admin tech.  When times are tough, you will know how tough it is to get paid or refund from them.

Niko has architecture aspirations.  He gave a talk at American Institute of Architects, which is an "Institute" that gave Niko the chance of talking about human rights, instead of architecture.  All Niko's qualifications is a lousy certificate from the Delphian School, and nothing else.  All Niko knows is to make videos and webpages that looks good for the company.

Delphian is the flagship Scientology school in Oregon, a $42,000 per year school.  A steady stream of graduates become Sea Org slaves, while many others can't fit into the real world, can't even speak real world English.

George was the director of Narconon DC, now an inactive company.  Narconon further tortures substance abusers' liver by toxic levels of vitamin bombs, and hours in high temperature sauna daily for a month, just what L. Ron Hubbard prescribed.

Niko used his ancestral connections in Panama to spread YHRI and Scientology there.

Whereas Vincent Gray is the Mayor of DC, he is hereby proclaimed an idiot.

To avoid celebrating human rights against the national celebration of PRC on Oct 1, Niko is celebrating Youth for human rights Day on Oct 8, at Busboys and Poets DC, with a Scientologist singer of course.

台灣翻譯基礎山達基叢書失敗,有疑惑嗎?

台灣山達基翻譯單位需要翻譯基礎系列叢書,2011年夏天截止。他們需要的,只是不懂中文的清字員。可笑嗎?

現在已是簾捲西風,涼爽的秋天,公衆山達基人怪責翻譯員無能,翻譯員怪責公衆不當員工、志工幫手。

事實上,你首先應該怪責賀伯特, 他認為他的山達基經文應該像《古蘭經》一樣,每一個穆斯林人的責任是學習阿拉伯語。賀伯特從來沒有打算把他的任何東西,翻譯成任何其他語言。

大衛·密斯凱維吉主席志在賺外幣,他不關心翻譯需要多久,只要有錢不斷進來。這樣,全俄羅斯運動被粉碎了。

首先,英文的文章翻譯成俄羅斯文。然後,俄羅斯的文章由獨立人士翻譯回英文。最後的英語文章是由不知道、也不關心俄羅斯文的山達基主管批准。他感覺有任何不對,將發回文章重譯。

任何人知道任何有關翻譯的都知道,這個過程是瘋狂的。嚇怕員工,嚇跑志工。即使文章是翻譯成功的,它需要十、百倍的努力。而且翻譯作品注定壞、難看。

有疑惑嗎?小疑惑是有意離教會的開始。

11歲女童遭繼父強暴山達基教稱是自作孽 (舊聞新譯)


2010-05-20 澳洲新快报

一名11歲的悉尼少女在遭到繼父強暴後,向山達基教會(Church of Scientology)的資深成員尋求指引,但這名成員竟說遭到繼父的強暴是自己的前世罪孽,並教唆她向警方說謊。目前,這名成員被控掩飾罪行罪名。

Carmen Rainer從前也是該教會的成員。她在接受ABC1的《Lateline》節目獨家採訪時表示,她受到教會中資深成員的指引,要就自己被繼父虐待的事情向警方說謊。

她的母親Phoebe也是教會的成員。她在得知女兒遭到強暴後,也尋求教會的意見。

牽涉事件的是總部設在洛杉磯、由山達基教會組建的人權公民委員會(CCHR)的全球主管Jan Eastgate。她當時任CCHR澳洲部主管。

她涉嫌教唆受害者和她的母親,向警方和社區服務部說謊。

Rainer說:“教會告訴我,這是我前世犯下的罪過。我前世可能做了什麼壞事,今世得到報應。當時作為一個孩子,我都相信他們的話。我只有11歲。他​​們的信仰伴隨我成長。”

Rainer指出,Eastgate教唆她告知警方,她不希望繼父坐牢,並告知社區服務部,繼父沒有觸碰她的下體。

在節目中,Eastgate拒絕受訪。

不過,她向節目發出的郵件表示,母女兩人的言論“嚴重失實”。

2011更新:
東門金被逮捕,在澳大利亞被控,創造了一個媒體狂熱。她被允許返回到美國,等待審判。無論她返回到澳大利亞受審與否,將會有另一波極壞公關。
