I include this to counter-balance the conspicuous absence of coverage
on this local community health and safety problem.  The Los Angeles Times
has created an information bubble surrounding Los Angeles concerning
this danger--to such a extent that the Los Angeles City Council bestows
honors on this danger by renaming Berendo Street in honor of its
founder "L. Ron Hubbard Way" -- with John Ferraro calling the danger to
society a "great organization."  See the Los Angeles Council President
at cult Headquarters--where (-AB-) lived before he disappeared after the
LAPD used Interpol to Help the criminal cult plug a security leak by 
raiding Penet.Fi in 1995.  (-AB-) worked at the lower left corner of the
big blue building, before he dissappeared.

: Scientology ``danger to society'' -- German minister Jul 14, 1997 Eastern
: By Erik Kirschbaum

: BONN, July 14 (Reuter) - Senior members of German Chancellor Helmut Kohl's
: Christian Democrats (CDU) launched a new onslaught on the U.S.-based
: Church of Scientology on Monday, saying it used people as tools.

: ``Scientology is a danger for our society,'' Rainer Eppelmann, chairman of
: the CDU labour wing, said at the launch of a 60-page booklet attacking the
: organisation to be distributed around Germany.

: Labour Minister Norbert Bluem, a strong critic of Scientology, wrote in
: the preface: ``This is an organisation that twists people into tools in
: order to pursue its own criminal objectives.''

[...]
: There are an estimated 30,000 Scientology members in Germany but the
: government does not recognise the organisation as a religion.

: It accuses the group of being a business exploiting the weaknesses of its
: members for profit, a charge denied by the Scientologists.

: Germany's 16 states said in June that sufficient suspicion existed of
: anti-democratic intent by Scientology to merit surveillance by
: anti-extremist state and federal watchdogs.

: Eppelmann said the public would learn the truth about Scientology now that
: it was under surveillance.

: About 5,000 copies of the booklet, prepared by the CDU labour wing, will
: be distributed, describing the recruiting methods of the organisation and
: instructing Germans how to ``protect'' themselves.

: ``Anyone who criticises or fights Scientology is written off as an
: opponent of freedom of religion,'' Labour minister Bluem wrote.

: ``Under the cloak of a religion or church, the organisation is trying to
: build up an image of a martyr so that it can deflect attention from its
: own practice of degrading humans.''

: Scientology, based in Los Angeles, was founded in 1954 and based on the
: teachings of science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. Its members take
: personality tests and are offered courses to help realise what the group
: believes is their full potential.
