Scientology 2009...Year Of Epic Fail - Page 5
Then came a real sneaky Scientology move by another one of their famous members.
Performer Beck, pulled a fast one on his fans at The Echo club in California. He played a "benefit" for Educating Children International. But fans soon found out that they plunked down $35.00 a pop for a Scientology front group benefit. Fans were NOT happy that they were never told it was Scientology related. Beck received some very deserved bad PR for pulling the wool over his fan's eyes. Wonder where all that money ended up anyways?
The March merriment continued....
Scientology's Fort Harrison Hotel aka Flag, gets a "supposed" $40 million dollar face lift and has a grand re-opening to the chagrin of local residents. (although today the Fort Harrison's assessment has dropped down to an alarming low) Blame it on recession? Hmmm, don't think so.
The Fort Harrison promised that it was going to be beneficial to the residents of Clearwater and help to bring life and commerce back to that area. Didn't happen. Their banquet facilities are not available for rent to the public and their restaurants are not open to the public either. And the icing on the cake? There was that not one local resident hired for employment for the Harrison, due to the fact that the entire staff of the Fort Harrison is employed with Scientology's very own Sea Org slave labor force. Scientology does not pay their slave labor anywhere close to minimum wage. Try $35.00 - $50.00 a week. That's when and if they get paid.
I guess Scientology is just too darn busy spending money by opening up new "orgs" elsewhere and paying for their advertising campaigns to worry about paying fair wages, having decent food for their employees or medical care for that matter.
And does the cult pay any taxes on the Fort Harrison? Again... is anyone paying attention?
Tell me again the benefit of having the Fort Harrison Hotel and the Super Power building in Clearwater? The Super Power Building *snicker* remains unfinished (sorry cult members who got duped into donating millions for this fail).
The Super Power Buidling is also racking up $250.00 a day in fines for not being finished. And as of last March 2009, the fines owed by the cult to the town were over $245 thousand dollars. Maybe that is where all the Scientology member's donations will end up going? To pay off fines? Yep! Clearing the planet! *scam alert*
APRIL! Scientologist, Ben Kasle was arrested and charged with two counts of gross sexual misconduct with a 13 year old girl at the "church". Even though he only received a slap on the wrist for his crime in my opinion, I hope Ben has learned that you should only touch your own body thetans,and not under age gals.
