Blog: Ministry of Hate - 2013-12-06
Many years ago a story about Scientology in a major publication was titled 'Ministry of Hate.' At the time I responded with righteous indignation. Having had many encounters with high level Scientologists over the past couple years, including very recently, I am coming around to seeing how spot on that 'Ministry of Hate' sobriquet in fact was, and is. Scientologists are trained and conditioned to hate. They are trained and conditioned to lie, defame, and spread hate against anyone who does not toe their white line; all with an air of overblown righteous indignation. I witnessed one in person earlier this week. Another one performed a perfect example of that recently on the Howard Stern show. Listen to Kirstie Alley's treatment of Leah Remini, beginning about 33:50:
First, Alley outright lies that Scientology does not 'shun' people. Then she lies again stating that she has personally shunned Leah not because of what she has said, but because what she has 'done' and because of her 'deeds.' Then she falsely accuses Leah Remini of calling Scientology 'hideous and evil.' She calls Leah a 'bigot' and likens her words to someone saying 'Jews are evil' and 'Jews are a cult.' All of these accusations are defamatory and, quite frankly, hysterical.
This performance of bigotry, defamation and hate by Kirstie is not her natural personality. She was trained and conditioned in Scientology to act in this immature, hateful fashion.
