I, Gerry Armstrong declare: 1. I was a Scientologist from 1969 through 1981. For eleven years, I was in the “Sea Organization,” (“Sea Org”) the segment of Scientologists through which Scientology “churches” and “religious” groups around the world are controlled and Scientology-connected commercial enterprises are overseen. The Sea Org is a pseudo-military organization, and I […]

Why did the Scientologists need and want their urgent arrest warrant? The short and immediate answer is Russia. Scientology and Scientologists, overtly and covertly, are totalitarian and extremist. Key to the Scientologists’ totalitarianism and extremism is their “Suppressive Person” doctrine. The SP doctrine is extremist in the extreme. The doctrine is as evil and as […]

Exceptional Hypocrisy: The US’s International Religious Freedom program
My awareness of the US State Department’s Office of International Religious Freedom (“OIRF”) proceeded from my experiences and relationship with Scientology. I won’t take up time with describing the Scientology religion, or cult, or scam, or intelligence agency. And I will not go into my very long history with the Scientologists. All of this is […]
Mike Rinder, Simon & Schuster, the IRS and me.
On April 14 I wrote to Simon & Schuster President and Publisher Jonathan Karp 1 about a false statement about me in Mike Rinder’s A Billion Years book. Rinder’s falsehood is a black PR meme on me that the Miscavigeite Scientologists have been disseminating, and getting others, e.g., now Simon & Schuster, to disseminate around […]

A letter to Mike Rinder: Your victim speaks up (Part 7)
Hubbard advertised and made others advertise that he was “mankind’s greatest friend.” He published and made others publish what they all said was an authentic, heroic, supermanic biography. He promised and made others promise fabulous results for his technology and religion. Should we have believed and trusted him, or any of his agents or spokespersons, […]
A letter to Mike Rinder: Your victim speaks up (Part 6)
I have no doubt that cowardice, moral cowardice, abounds in the world. Without my knowing what it was, I think it was my “ruin,” which was important in my recruitment into Scientology. I didn’t speak up when I morally should have. If we are all moral cowards, then there would be no one who modeled […]

Louise Shekter and me
I knew Louise on the “Apollo.” I knew her being Treasury Aide during most of that time. Aides’ posts came with a lot of seniority, and she also had Sea Org rank and experience on me. I came on board in February 1971. I was on ship or shore lines throughout my time on board, […]
