    Ex-Scientology lawsuits reveal elite Sea Org group - ASSOCIATED PRESS via Yahoo! News - 27th March 2010

    snippet...
    Of course it doesn't tell us lot anything we don't know already about goldbase and the Headley cases but it is a reasonably detailed article, it is on the AP newswire, and it has this added lulzy snippet of Tommy Davis failtech....

    On the plus:
    -Great guns - this came right out of the gate on the AP! Very nice.
    -Holy moly! They got inside!
    -Scientology language lol. Admonished a reporter, "liar, "terrorists" "We're kind of sick of people who think that they can do this with us" - just the worst PR evar, Tommy.

    Minus:
    -Melton!
    -Holy moly, they got inside and that's all they did with it?

    Wonder if Melton has a point here.

    This is a bit of a strange article, not very well researched.

    They state, baldly, that anon hacked the Church website, which is inaccurate.

    They quote Melton, who is generally an apologist.

    They publish what is likely an actionable falsehood about Marc embezzling.

    Eh for an AP article I would expect better.

    Actually there is a point to that. However, there are distinguishable elements
    between this and that case.

    However, whatever the ultimate result of the lawsuit, the higher profile that it has given issues makes it worth it in my eyes.

    The point of a lawsuit is not to win, lol...

    Anonymous has, since its inception, caused huge PR problems for the scifags. These lawsuits are the result of repeated raids, truth campaigns and other anonymous actions. The plaintiffs have been emboldened by our movement.

    They are dead agenting Mark Headley.
    $cientology management gets all the money, precisely DM.
    Staff does not have medical or dental treatment. The staff uses tax payer money, and goes to hospitals as indigent. I know that as a fact.
    I had known staff that left, because they were not getting any auditing. Vacations are another lie. I also knew staff that did not have a vacation in 10 years or more. Each time, they requested it was denied.
    $cientology is all about money...

    "Church leaders, who have labeled Headley a heretic, dispute his story and say he was an incompetent troublemaker."
    _______________

    And I'm sure there's a good paper trail of Co$ warning him about his incompetence and trouble making, which they took action on, before he escaped on a motorcycle.
    Oh, and by the way Tommy, why didn't the tech work for Marc?

    Re: AP: Ex-Scientology lawsuits reveal elite Sea Org group

    I noticed that too.
    It's like a sort of "support article" just full of data. It doesn't look to be cult-injected (zoomg OSAOSAOSA) because it includes the embarassing ARIS data on the cult's estimated membership.
    The annoying thing is that it has the same title as the proper article (so some outlets might pick up this and not the proper one).

    Hmmm, pondering.

    I'm sorry. I'd fap to this until I chafed off the skin from my penis, but all the win lately has left me extremely sore. I'm raw and bleeding down there, and its not even an STD. There's just too much win, my testicles can't keep up.

    Anonymous, I need us all to stop being so damn epic and generating this much win. Seriously, we need to scale this shit back because the sheer awesome has my nervous system threatening to shut down from overload. I actually went so far past overexcitedly ecstatic that I've somehow looped back around to numbness.

    Really, the only way I can express myself is with this:
