Former Scientology exec claims abusive treatment from leader David Miscavige KABC7 2/15/2012 abclocal.go.com abclocal.go.com LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Southern California is home to the largest community of Scientologists in the world, according to a church spokesperson. The Church of Scientology, which is famously private and protective of their inner workings, maintains their main base of operations in Hollywood. But its international headquarters, also known as the “International Base,” is in Riverside County. What allegedly happened inside that compound near Hemet is being called into sharp focus because of a lawsuit making its way through the courts. Debbie Cook, a former Scientology executive, is being sued for breach of contract for criticizing the church in an email after she signed an agreement promising to remain silent. Last week, she took the stand in a San Antonio courthouse and testified about what she said happened on the property near Hemet in trailers she called “The Hole.” “There’s a place called ‘The Hole,’ the windows were barred, the one entrance was guarded by security 24 hours a day,” she said on the witness stand. For 17 years, Cook was Captain of the church’s Flag Service Organization, which is Scientology’s spiritual Mecca in Clearwater, Fla.

What a slime Elliot Abelson is.
Oh I DO hope the cult continues with the court case. It will be a mission of colossal fail for them, whether win or lose the case.
Very sad story again. I hope the authorities wake up and do something against this abusive cult and their desert prison.
HOLY SHIT!!!!, PROOF of disconnection policy at 5:04
For a couple of years now, the cult of scientology has been pushing hard to have the public road that divides the two parts of the compound closed, as part of Riverside county’s regional roadways development plan. Now you all know why.
Also, the cult managed to get supervisor Jeff Stone as their personal army to enact broad legistlation to restrict targetted residential picketing (ordinance 884), which is actually a total fail becuse the cult is classed as a business.
Secretive cult.
