Here is something truly gag-worthy.
As with virtually everything else that emanates from the Vulture Culture of Scientology, it is a pitch for money.
And as with everything else, it contains many flat out lies as well as complete unreality on the state of scientology and the world in which it exists. These people don’t just have tin ears, they also have hallucinogenic vision and speak in tongues. Kind of messed up for those who supposedly can hone all 57 perceptics to razor sharpness.
This promo piece would be like the Catholic Church asking for donations for their international “Priests make the best babysitters for little Johnny” campaign.Can you imagine the uproar such a thing would create?
It is a reflection of the irrelevancy of scientology that this sort of garbage churned out by the IAS doesn’t generate any massive backlash.
Compare this to the Lugli’s latest video titled Scientology Slave Museum.

Seriously there seems NO limit to their shame and greed.

You’re welcome Joe. I planted grass seeds this week and tomorrow, I’m going to see Godzilla. Rawrrrr! Rawrrrr! I feel good about it.
Joe Pendleton says
Now I’m really keyed in by Mike’s last few posts, realizing what an awful out ethics person I am, especially for taking no responsibility on the third and fourth dynamic. I could have been expanding Scientology big time, bringing peace to the Middle East AND establishing Human Rights throughout the planet ……. and what have I been doing instead? Spending my “not Ideal Org” money on a trip to a historic city, then spending some “not Way to Happiness” money on some music, books and good food. And NOW! I’m spending some “not IAS” money on some electronics when I could be saving all humanity if I would just empty my bank account and do my A-E. What overts!!! I really need to get these all off during my next OW Write-up and my next Sec check ……… oh, wait ……. I forgot ….. I’m not gonna DO another OW write-up or get another sec check ….. sheesh …. what a freaking RELIEF …… feel better now, folks, thanks for listening.
The Dude says
Really? Albania, Greece, Japan and the Philippines all know how to spell and use punctuation better than the English speaking sheeple? The program must be working really really well in those countries, even if English Is their second (or maybe 3rd or 4th) language. Yay!
enccas says
Think about disconnection(from family), slavery, child labor, sleep deprivation, forced abortion, physical punishment, mental intimidation… These are happening elsewhere in the world, but the church of scientology is not excluded as well.
So I want the human rights booklets get distributed in the Big Blue, FSO, FSSO, GHS, ASI, IASA, all AOs and CLOs etc., with human rights education program put into full application by all scientology staff immediately. There should be no donations asked on this subject until the human right violation is terminatedly handled inside the church of scientology.
hgc10 says
“Manhattan, USA” What is that? Who says that? Is that Manhattan, Kansas? Who the fuck are these fuckwits?
Anyway, this whole piece is depressing in its stupidity. The term “human rights” in the way that Scientology uses the term is so devoid of meaning or impact that it actually gives the real thing a bad name. In any case, I support mugwump rights. After all mugwumps have rights too.
Joe Pendleton says
You know, I had the same thought when I saw Manhattan, USA …. say what? Now if it had said BROOKLYN ……. (I’ll possibly believe those success stories when they have a name, address and telephone number included)
GTBO says
Oviously they no longer show the Captain Jack film.the successes read like a “They say”
OMG the generalities and false data they throw around, their promos read like they’re from the”Over Itsa”
scnethics says
Donate to the IAS! If you and others donate enough, we might throw these Human Rights guys a bone.
davefagen says
One of the biggest barriers to getting people who are IN the C of S to see the truth is this:
It is just too unbelievable that someone who would publish such education on human rights would be such violators of human rights.
I have seen some of these videos, albeit quite a few years ago now, and I have to say that I too was impressed by the information and presentation on these videos. As I recall, they really teach something of value (to an innocent person who also does not know what the C of S really is) that people can use, in a way that is very understandable.
That is why it is so unbelievable to members of the C of S: No violators of human rights could possibly be so aware of human rights to the degree that they would be able to produce videos and other educational materials that so effectively teach the concept of human rights.
Most likely the people who directly produce these educational materials are intelligent, well-intentioned people who have yet been duped into associating themselves and their educational productions with the C of S, incorrectly thinking that the C of S actually advocates these concepts in true practice – whereas, the truth is the precise opposite.
I doubt that the producers of these materials are going around thinking, “How can we fool church members into thinking that the C of S is a humanitarian organization so that we can make slaves out of as many Sea Org members and Scientologists as possible?”
These well-intentioned people are being used, as a tool to establish false trust in the C of S as a humanitarian group.
Maybe David Miscavige is incapable of conceiving that others truly do have rights, which he enforces violation of, on a regular basis.
But what is ever-so capable of, is exploiting the good intentions and competence of those who have the insights, skills and intentions to make high-quality educational materials on human rights, and seeing to it that those concepts become associated with himself and his organization.
And the people who make that false association are the people who have been convinced that they should not look at the truth of what this organization really is.
In my opinion, this is a major point that needs to be made when trying to show a church member that he is being fooled: that it is not as unbelievable as he or she thinks it is, that an organization that could produce such insightful education on human rights, could actually be major violators of those very same concepts of human rights.
indie8million says
Dave Fagen – you are completely right in what you say about the people who produce these human rights videos.
The only slight error is that this isn’t an “outside” company who is making them. They are dedicated Scientologists. I know them personally. Beautiful people who would HATE it if they knew what that maniac was doing, has been doing and is doing.
Those who are under the radar and still in should leave a bread crumb trail of truth for others to see. If they can’t come out and say what’s happening directly, lead people to look for the truth and confront it when they do see it.
There are a lot of forums – Facebook, Pinterest, etc. for comments that lead people to think that they aren’t always being told the truth and it’s their right and responsibility to question outpoints that they see.
No one can steal their eternity but themselves. Only one’s own lack of integrity can jeopardize that for each person.
You could also get a hushmail account and send your friends these articles or that video anonymously. Hushmail should protect your location because it gives a different IP address that your actual one. You may only have one chance so make it a good one.
Aquamarine says
Very well explained, Dave Fagen.
Alex de Valera says
The cos is an inverted entity. Totally 1.1 in Scientologese. They pretend to help you with a smile and lie to you in every possible way so that their stats are up for Thursday 2PM. That is their sole mtivation. GI (gross income).
Morris Adams says
They got the titles of their publications and videos wrong. They actually should be:
“Youth for Human Slavery”
“Bringing Human Slavery to Life”
“The Story of Human Slavery”
“30 Ads, 30 Slaves”
The last one is also essential hatting for Sea Org recruiters.
Gus Cox says
“…all these people sound like they were educated in Omaha.”
Excellent observation… and I LOL’d!
Zephyr says
It is so typical for the IAS to misdirect attention AWAY from itself, out there is where it is baaaaaad…
There is this biblical saying “remove the splinter in your eye before addressing the log in your neighbor’s eye’ or some such or simply the criminal mind at work of accusing others of that s/he is doing.
Greta
GTBO says
RCo$ and IAS continue to astound by the level of depravity they stoop to in their communications, with absolutely no shame.
The truth is the Sea Org has absolutely zero reality on what the world outside is like, they are spoon fed only that which Der Leader wants them to swallow and are deliberately kept in the dark from finding out the truth. (Most Sea Org members I knew were actually pretty intelligent).
Hence these totally unrealistic campaigns and promo pieces.
They honestly think they are doing the right thing; only being outside we see how ridiculous they are and that they have absolutely no understanding of how the world views RCo$ and them because the truth IS out here.
The morons of the IAS and OSA are the worst, trying to create fear like the best of true SP’s under the orders of the biggest (smallest) SP of all.
jgg2012 says
What are they going to do when the forced abortion trials start?
David Cooke says
No doubt they’re already market-researching an ad campaign about family values and the inalienable rights of mother and child. On the principle of never defend, never admit to being wrong.
The Oracle says
The fact that they are even fighting this obvious abuse is about the worst P.R. ever for the Church.
Jose Chung says
The same person wrote all of these so called stories
from different countries. Total FRAUD.
SILVIA says
If the majority of the insiders in the church would know their ‘leader’ is a primary source of human rights violations they, of course, will deny it.
Confront of evil is what they lack, thus they will continue to play the game of lies, lies, lies up to the point of becoming what they can’t confront: a criminal lier. They caught up with the condition they have failed to assign.
Potpie says
Sorry, when I say running a person on help
I mean the processes LRH developed for the
purpose of handling a person who has had
failures in helping along with other phenomena
connected to the subject of help.
Old Surfer Dude says
And the pitch goes on
Yeah the pitch goes on
And the pitch goes on
Yeah, the pitch goes on.
Sung to the tune of “And the Beat Goes On” by Sunny and Cher.

The Dude says
Ha!
Ang says
Aside from the humorous hypocrisy of the Church posing as champions of human rights, the real gut buster for me is the last line:
“The Human Rights campaign is made possible only through your support of the IAS. Make a donation to the IAS today.”
REALLY!
I would love to see an accounting of how much of the IAS donations actually go into ANY of these type programs.
Ha Ha Ha…rotflmfao…still laughing…will probably still be laughing this time tomorrow.
Poet13c says
Of course they don’t fund anything themselves, silly. They just make a percentage from the funds raised, for their, erm, effort.
Formost says
While the CO$ peddles the human rights agenda according to the common and publicly understood concepts of “an inalienable right justifiably owned by every person.”, it also harbors yet another definition of it concealed and not revealed to the public. Anyone … apostates, whistle-blowers, those wronged & defrauded, etc. who have an axe to grind with the church are persons & groups which inhibit freedom of religion and human rights. Bang … merely ‘quietly and unannouncedly’ re-qualify and re-define ‘”Human Rights” in accordance with “HCOPL 23 Dec 65RB Suppressive Acts, Suppression Of Scientology And Scientologists” and anyone found in contravention or offense of it is automatically “Fair Game” for IAS response for the collection of monies and action in the form of Black PR and harassment. So far the catchphrase “religious bigot” has been levied against those seeking valid correction, redress and restitution, and pawned off as such to the public as a “Dead Agent” response to the criminal acts the church has perpetrated against them.
Just another day of Spin, Con and Dollars.
Potpie says
Think of all the R/S’s you’d get
running Miscavige on help.
Imagine how totally inverted
the think would be running
an IAS person on help.
The IAS as a group and
Miscavige are truly aberrated
on the subject of help.
The IAS staff at best are suffering
from contagion of aberration.

MJ says
Gee, I didn’t realize countries could talk. This is the equivalent of ‘they say.’ It’s really hard to fathom the stupidity of this campaign. Anyone supporting it should have their cranium corrected.
Odd Thomas says
MJ — funny you should say that. I was thinking how eloquent these countries were and how, even through a human translator, all these people sound like they were educated in Omaha. Idiomatically, the world apparently has become one. I’m sure the IAS has something to do with that …
Odd
MJ says
It feels like a big fuck you to LRH.
The Oracle says
Oh it is. Everything Miscavige is doing is to fuck up Hubbard. He is up to announcing Hubbard an overt product at the events now. He is out to unmock Hubbard and discredit him in every way he can. He has devoted his life to discrediting Hubbard and Scientology.
thegman77 says
If one looks closely at the wording and structure of the “success” stories, it seems quite clear that they were all written by the same person(s). The syntax and structures of those speaking English from those countries would all be different, if written/spoken by natives. In the “success” stories, they are all virtually identical. Phony stuff. But who would be surprised?
Paul Cocovinis says
And the lack of even an initial now against the quotes is more than a little suspect.
steve carlton says
Human Rights violations occur every day across the world. Twenty-one million people are trafficked worldwide, while every 3.5 seconds a child dies in poverty.
And that doesn’t count the human trafficking that your local cherch of Scaminology is involved with either. And let’s not count the bankruptcies, foreclosures that are involved at your local Morgue! So SEE, WE ARE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT—- AREN’T WE. WE STAND TALL…. NO TURNING BACK!! (except for Little Slappy… HE’s trying to stand tall but you he can’t help it he’s soooooo short!! Did you know that every 2.5 seconds there is a Sea mORG MEMBER that dies in Poverty!!
iamvalkov says
The sad thing is there are plenty of materials in scientology that can form the basis of a lot of good works. But they are all now used as part of bait-and-switch operations designed to get something for nothing – donations of money, effort, public relations.
It is a real betrayal.
indie8million says
So true, iamvalkov. That is truly the disgusting part.
Old School says
“and an estimated 100,000 Americans trafficked inside the U.S.” The CoS has done their part to add to that statistic.
But, you are right Mike. Scientology is totally irrelevant in the world. From a statistics (the mathematics subject) perspective, scientology doesn’t really exist as a religion or even as a international cult.
Karen#1 says
Outstanding video made by Tiziano and Jamie covering Radical Official Scientology’s
“Human Rights”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8aqbh6yC2A
Old School says
Good video Karen. Thanks
Espiritu says
Holey Moley, Karen, thanks for posting this! Tiziano and Jamie given the perfect response to the IAS bullshit misdirecting propaganda about slavery. If they hate slavery so much, why do Sea Org organizations practice it? Why do they not care for their long-term, elderly staff as all other church organizations do? Why do they not have medical plan for their ministry and staff like other churches do? Why do they confiscate the passports of staff who are working in the US on a visa?
DM is allegedly a cameraman.
I hope he appreciates the professional quality of this video.
Pericles says
Spectacular video…especially the little girl’s question at the end of the video – priceless! “So that guy’s in jail, right?”
Brian The Graduated says
This clip is awesome. It must be freaking out the slave master.
indie8million says
Wow. Tears in eyes on that last question. We have all been warriors against injustice. Disgusting that we have to fight the leader we have defended. Disgusting that he is so devoid of humanity.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Your troops are realizing who the true enemy is little Davey.
Tick tock, tick tock.
The alarm bell is ringing. Get out, get out.

Great Video!
C.B. DeMille says
It was a great video. Strong message, well presented, truthful, that all can relate to. Their best video to date, in my opinion.
Paul Cocovinis says
Quality video – you guys are good! The irony is almost as subtle as a sledgehammer. Almost.
Alex de Valera says
This IAS add is just disgusting. They have so much money, but it all goes to the coffers, to the war chest to fight against inexisting conspiracies or against people who have been wronged and ask for due redress like the Rathbuns. This is the most clever criminal organisation ever.
Valerie says
“The answer to ending these abuses is education. When people learn and become aware of human rights, they begin to protect them for themselves and for others.”
So true. When Sea Org employees become aware of human rights, they begin to protect them for themselves and for others. They said that so well.
Those who have escaped the Sea Org, more importantly the biggest abuser of human rights, the Gold Base, have been working diligently to educate those on the inside. Perhaps those on the inside are becoming educated?
Take foot, insert in mouth. Worst. Campaign. Ever.
SadStateofAffairs says
Biggest irony of all is that certain of these “campaigns”, most especially the “Human Rights” campaign is run out of OSA Int.
