GERRY ARMSTRONG LISTEN UP!!!
Marisa Sigmond,
0:00 – 09:18
Hey everyone, how is it going? Um, I guess it’s video time. There’s,
there’s been a few requests for one, and there is, there’s a quite a lot of it to talk about. First and foremost, I know a lot of people are like, “Why did you name your video “Gerry Armstrong?” Well, I named it “Gerry Armstrong” for a couple of reasons, one of those being I, I have some questions for Gerry Armstrong. Um, he is a prolific, if not the original anti-scientology activist. Um, for those of you who don’t know who Gerry Armstrong is, I will put it to you this way.
I was born in 1978 into the shithole cult called Scientology. So I was born back in 78. I’m 45 right now. Gerry Armstrong was fighting Scientology back when I was born, which, of course, I didn’t know at the time. I found out many years later. But yeah, he is the reason why basically the public knows that L. Ron Hubbard was a fraud. He is the one that leaked the documents, uh, because of, you know, L. Ron Hubbard’s biography that was going on back then. Uh, Gerry Armstrong is the one that that realized that L. Ron Hubbard was a giant lying fraud. And Gerry Armstrong went public with that, and he has faced so much craziness.
I can’t … you know I’m really bad at telling other people’s stories, which is why I don’t like doing it. But I would just say at some point for those of you interested in the anti-scientology scene. I mean, I tell people all the time, I say, “Hey, this anti-scientology fight has been going on for over 40 years. It’s not brand new.” I think protesters and people need to know that, that this is a movement that has existed for 40 years. I’ve been a part of it for, I think, going on 18. So there’s been people like Gerry Armstrong, and that’s “g e r r y” and then “Armstrong.” If you people out there would like to research him, um, he’s a wealth of information. And he lives in Canada, not because he wants to. Um, that, that is a story in itself, but he’s pretty much … I don’t know how to explain it. I don’t want to say, “ostracized,” but, like, legally, he has to stay in Scientology… or he has to stay in Canada … because of Scientology. They did something and punished him legally some way so he’s stuck in Canada. Did I punch that one up or what?
Um, but for a Canadian, he’s someone that’s very well-versed with the US government in regards to religion. Scientology being a religion and how it correlates with the IRS and and tax law here in America. Um, so that’s … I just wanted to give an introduction of that. And Gerry, thank you, by the way, for everything that you’ve done.
Now, I want to ask you, because I was watching recently … it was an interview with you, and as everyone jokingly knows Fellatio, or Fellatio Onzo … “Fellationzo” is what I call him. Your sidekick. Um, I would like to ask you: As a man of your prolific stature, and lengthy history of activism and knowledge, and pretty much crushing the boundaries within the cult of Scientology … I mean you are the original person to do that, and you’ve done so about 50 years ago.
Um, I want to ask you why you are teaming up with Alanzo given Alanzo’s track record of publicly stating that he feels that Scientology is an oppressed religious minority group. He even has a video about this that he made very recently, I think within the last few months, and he actually titled it with my name. “My response to Marisa Sigmond, and why I think Scientology is a religion.” And then he goes on his whole video to say why Scientology needs to be protected and it’s a religion.
Now, Mr Armstrong, you are free and clear to do as you’d like. I am just
stating as a, um, someone I do consider, I mean, I say, a friend. We had, uh, a similar incident about a decade ago that we both were victims to. So I feel a little bit of, um, kindred spirit vibes with you. Not to mention, Mr Armstrong, I think you’re a “Libra,” so you want to keep things fair and balanced. And you’ll probably watch this and understand where I’m coming from.
So, but that was my question to you. Um, you’re talking about revoking the religious exemption – slash — tax exemption of Scientology in America, which is monumental to collapsing it. Um, and you’re discussing this with Alanzo, when I think that you can do … I would say, Mr. Armstrong, you should go on your own, like you did. Because you used to release your videos and everyone would be like, wow, Gerry Armstrong just released a video. But now you’re with Fellationzo and it’s kind of like, oh man.
Because I really want to watch and hear what you have to say, but I just can’t do it. Um, but one of the ones I, I did see. It was, it was very funny. Um, because of Fellationzo. It’s not funny because of Gerry Armstrong. But, uh, I listened to it. Uh, in the beginning, within the first like ten minutes Fellationzo asks Gerry Armstrong like, “Oh, so you mean it’s sort of like a decoy? But it was not like a decoy at all. It, it … I could tell Gerry’s like, “Uh not really bud.” But I don’t know. That was like the first part.
And then, so it’s going into like the importance of Scientology and its religious labeling within our government here in America. And, uh, second part … and I’m just saying this Gerry as your friend, as someone to tell you about that video. Um, there was a part where you were talking about like a two … I think it was a 2 million or 20 million … I could have sworn it was 2 million … a $2 million check that was trying to be passed fraudulently. Um, like an L. Ron Hubbard check. And Alanzo butts in, and says, “You mean to tell me so someone forged it, someone did forgery?” And then Gerry Armstrong’s like, “Uh, no, that’s not what I mean.”
I … so I guess my point is: I think that when, you know, when discussing such pertinent items like, uh, the religious exemption, and financial details, and things where you need to have a little bit of technical knowledge, um, Gerry, you are like mountains and mountains elevated above, uh, Fellationzo’s intellect level. And I say that with all due respect. Um, um, so that’s why I say I just think that you should go, um, on your own like the Gerry Armstrong Channel. Or you could definitely get on a channel that, with much a larger following. Because you have an amazing story. You are the original person to have it publicly known.
I think without Gerry Armstrong this movement would not be here, where, where it is today. It may possibly not even ex, exist at all. Um, so anyways, I think that’s the main thing, is: how can you talk about collapsing Scientology when you’re teaming up with somebody that wants to save Scientology and openly says it’s an oppressed, uh, minority religious group?
That’s, that’s the main thing. And yeah, I also want to see if like my house is going to explode, or I’m going to have people scaling my walls or doing something bad to me because I’m saying Gerry Armstrong’s name. All right, so that’s the first part.
[…]
34:51 – 38:08
So I could say a lot more just whatever propaganda. It’s not even propaganda, it’s, it’s just like junk coming from Alanzo. And he’s pretty much jealous because he’s realizing he has no friends. He’s shit on everyone from the Aftermath Foundation, the SPTV Foundation. No, no second gens like him. He has no one to get information from anymore. That’s why he’s flipping out on me and going crazy, Because he’s realizing nobody wants to fucking talk to his ass. Uh, except for Gerry Armstrong for some reason. But hopefully Gerry will have a second chance of thinking about things and the direction that he is going. Because I do think he has an extensive voice that should be expanded to the masses.
Um, and he is absolutely right, and I have been saying this for well over a decade. I hate when I say something a decade ago, but then Aaron says it, and then everyone thinks it’s cool. I’m just joking, Aaron. But no, I, I was saying like 10 years ago, I’m like, you guys do not understand the importance of Scientology having a religious label. And I think people don’t get that, or they don’t understand it. Um, so I emphasize that. Of course, I know, and many of us know, that Scientology is not a religion. We look at it as a cult.
But you know what. Our Pentagon, and our White House, they don’t see things the same way that we do. They have ruled that Scientology is a religion, so in the United States, Scientology is in the same ranks of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, whatever. Scientology has gained that right in America. And when I was watching Gerry Armstrong and Alanzo’s exchange, again there were a lot of questions I could have asked Gerry, because I find it a fascinating subject. But I had to listen to Fellationzo’s childlike voice asking Gerry really goofy questions, and it just, it ruined the serious, seriousness of the interview for me.
Um, but you know it is true, because if, if you are a religion in America it, it’s the same thing as saying that you’re like a racial minority or something. It’s the same thing, so Scientology can play this discrimination thing, of like religious discrimination, blah blah blah, and it’s going to be taken just as seriously as if someone from a mosque or synagogue made that same complaint. So people don’t understand that. They don’t understand, like, the importance of that in the United States. And the United States has never revoked a religious label from a group. That’s never happened.
