Scientology infiltrates Channel 31

09.10.2009 by bagman //

Community radio or television stations are the perfect mediums for people who are denied a voice in the mainstream media.

The voice of the community is a very powerful instrument when used in its original form to raise awareness to the problems and concerns such as community arts ,theatre, democracy and the desemination of news. Poverty, homelessness and oppression should also be given a berth. It should embrace every aspect of our communities and the people that live and work in it.

Channel 31 was an excellent example of this until recent times. This community station used to provide its viewers with an eclectic range of programmes that inform and educate those who have grown to love its diverse content.

There is also irrefutable evidence of the community media promoting awareness and celebration of all things involved in life changing situations that we sometimes feel frustrated about achieving.

Imagine my surprise last Wednesday after watching an excellent programme on channel 31 involving the work of trade unions over the last hundred or so years in the proud coal mining town of Wonthaggi in Victoria. The Union Show promoted every thing I would expect in a community television programme, committment, spirit ,involvement ,pride in your community etc etc all the principles once espoused when channel 31 was established.

What followed was the voice and face of L.Ron Hubbard the exalted creator and god like figure of the Scientology sect promoting and brain washing all those haplesly watching at the time. I continued to watch and listen in amazement hoping that channel 31, true to its charter was doing an expose of this obnoxious sect .

The longer I watched and the longer I listened was to prove fruitless as I realised that this once great channel  31 had been compromised or even infiltrated by this insidious sect .

Protesting at the earliest opportunity next morning only to be told that this sect was part of our community and therefore worthy of air time on the channel.

Posing the question about the involvement of this sect in our communities the channel could not elaborate except to say that as a religion they were entitled to some form of religious expression. I could not agree more ,freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to conduct our lives without undue impediment and freedom of movement are the tenets our society are based on .Freedom of religion should not extend to bogus and extreme cults

Where is this religious freedom within in this sect? it is notorious for brainwashing it’s followers with dubious recruitment methods

Investigations are being conducted all over the world involving charges of fraud and harasment .Gross invasions of privacy and threatening sect members who wish to withdraw from the sect.

This is not a religion it is a dangerous secretive cult, a money and power grabbing organisation with outrageous claims of space travel & extra terrestrial manifestations.

Can we expect to see the Exclusive Bretheren sect appear in prime time on channel 31 after all their another exclusive insidious sect along the same lines of the scientology sect.

Community channel 31 has to return to its original charter of representing the community not religious sects!! Supporters of channel 31 deserve better

    Well, sure, some kind of legislation is needed, but it’s the kind that involves asking the rich to pay more to support the stable, educated, free society that allowed them to make all that money in a genteel fashion. And that takes more guts than I’ve seen from anyone in Washington, except maybe Bernie Sanders.

    Why does Michael Mazur have such a big ugly mouth and why do you let him show so much of it on your blog Denis?

    Cults seem to be getting in everywhere these days. I haven’t been able to watch Channel 31 since I got a set top box. What a pity they’ve opened the door to the Scientologists. These loonies will reset their notions of community pretty quickly.

    Have you talked to anyone about how to push those toads back out the door?

    The only place that seems to have a gigabyte cap is Australia and people hate it. Here we have a perfect example of how government is privatizin­g the profits without considerin­g the tremendous losses for the public’s education, knowledge of politics, science, philosophy­, sociology, psychology­, etc.

    Good on ya Denis, I couldn’t agree more. What a disgrace. It’s enough to make those late-night fish leap out of their tank in disgust. “Community” TV isn’t an automatic licence for every cult, loony or criminal to promote themselves or their warped view of the world. Paedophiles (regretably) live in the community but this doesn’t mean they have the right to promote child abuse on C31. Do McDonalds deserve a kiddies Saturday morning slot to promote their chemical slop because they have outlets “in the community”? It’s an outrage that loony Thetans get to peddle their bizarre and dangerous beliefs on community TV. Who’s responsible for programming policy at C31? Who is on the C31 Board?

    Thanks for you comments, I agree with you about a religion based on aliens is indeed a strange organisation, on my radio programme recently I described them as a “cult” and soon after the threats of defamation began rolling in . I want give in to such threats

    Unfortunately they are not a part of “Free tv” so we can’t complain there.
    However, my suggestion is to contact Senator Nick Xenophon (email on his website), who has the guts to take a stand on this dangerous cult like organisation. Really, a “religion” based on aliens is disgraceful and has no right to be peddling it’s pseudo-science as science on public tv as a recruiting tool.

    I’ve heard both great and poor about Scientology. I will believe some of each due to the fact I’ve seen it. But let’s talk about that. In comparison with Christianity, Scientology is rather bland on the subject of controversy and terrible deeds. The Crusades, the Inquisition, the murder in the Cathars, the Salem witch trials. Heck, perhaps the house arrest of Galileo was pretty poor. That’s not me likely to dispute some of the awful points I’ve found out about Scientology which might or may possibly not be true. All I can say is, I hope the church cleans up its act. Any organization consists of persons, and some men and women get carried away.

    I see. Any comment of mine now doesnot even take.

    Your terrified that someone might see that i have a point to which your leftie friends might ask awkward questions of you about, rather than of me.

    OK. That’s it. Nothing more from me on this non forum. Ever. Not even for 2 seconds. Coward.

    Speaking of `obnoxious sects` and `insidious sects` Denis, as you do above, Benjamin Franklin’s 1789 Statement in the Convention, concerning Jewish Immigration:

    “There is a great danger for the United States of America, this great danger is
    the Jew. Gentlemen, in every land which the Jews have settled, they have
    depressed the normal level and lowered the degree of commercial honesty.
    They have remained apart and unassimilated — they have created a state within
    a state, and when they are opposed they attempt to strangle the nation
    financially as in the case of Portugal and Spain.
    For more than 1700 years,20they have lamented their sorrowful fate — namely,
    that they were driven out of their motherland, but gentlemen, if the civilized world
    today should give them back Palestine and their property, they would
    immediately find pressing reasons for not returning there. Why? Because they
    are vampires — they cannot live among themselves; they must live among
    Christians and others who do not belong to their race.
    If they are not excluded from the United States by the Constitution, within less
    than 100 years, they will stream into this country in such numbers they will rule
    and destroy us and change our form of Government for which we Americans
    shed our blood and sacrificed life, property and personal freedom.
    If the Jews are not excluded, within 200 years our children will be working in the
    fields to feed the Jews while they remain in the Counting House gleefully rubbing
    their hands.
    I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude the Jews forever, your children’s
    children will curse you in your graves.
    Their ideas are not those of Americans even when they have lived among us for
    ten generations. The leopard cannot change its spots. The Jews are a danger to
    this land and if they are allowed to enter they will imperil our institutions — they
    should be excluded by the Constitution.”.

    So, 230 yrs ago Denis, this man was more far seeing than any before or since, and accurately foretold of the destruction of America at they very time it was being born.

    Care to emulate him about Australia, as, after all you do have a head start on him ?

    Try this Denis, but as the Herald Sun (generic for media) gives you no approval you wouldn’t ever discuss it of a Friday morning, even though it’s plain what these pictures reveal.

    All up it means, that since 911 was obviously an inside job – no conspiracy theory, just plain fact, then 3AW,3LO,3CR,ABCTV, Ch9, Ch7, SBS etc etc, are the aeders and ebettors of state terror, by their silence and suppression of any who would discuss irrefutable 911 facts.

    In fact the silence and misdirections you lefties, in particular, have provided, since 911, was indispensable to enable repeated acts of western govt state terror, e.g, Bali 10/02, Madrid 3/04, London Tube 7.7.05, Islambad 9/08, Mumbai 11/08, to name only four.

    Without the endless trivia about deliberately chosen inconsequentials, like Scientology, all of you left media bear greater, and not equal, responsibility than the other media outlets for the many terror deaths since that time of 911, for the reason that being the `people’s media` you are thought sympathetic to the people’s travails, and so are thought protective of them, when in reality the people are routinely and comprehensively and pervasively and profoundly betrayed, for treason to the people and loyalty to the state is your job.

    A you betray the people for nothing, what’s in it for you ?

    That’s the mystery, and when i say `you` and `your` i mean the left.

    I dont expect to see this survive 5 seconds after you’ve seen it, but make sure to pass this on to others of your ilk, if you wish – of course.

    I’ll keep a copy so you c.
