I am all for helping orphaned children…but Scientology just See's an opportunity to exploit and profiteer from the Tragic Disaster

A Mr Claude Reginald Jean a Haitian and a Scientoligist previously ran 2 orphanages in Haiti prior to the Earthquake
most of the children are from the 2 orphanages.
Mr Jean Ran the Haiti Dianetics center (AKA Global Pioneers) there.
Mr Claude Jean relocated his family and children to Florida on a return flight with John Travolta after the Earthquake and his children were given full scholarships to the Scientology run Clearwater Academy in Florida
several Scientology front groups are raising funds to support the orphanage which is now called Future Haiti

BPI is NOT part of Scientolgy’s tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization. They’re a for-profit organization that (amongst other things) publishes and sells L. Ron Hubbard’s craptacular pulp fiction.

It seems incredibly sketchy that they’re soliciting donations to this for-profit organization to print and send Scientology tracts to Haiti. There’s got to be some really “creative” accounting going on here.

Hello? IRS? You paying attention to any of this?

Scientology is using this disaster to solicit donations to Bridge Publications (owned by Scientology) – NOT for direct donations to legitimate NGO and relief organizations that directly aid Haitians.

Instead of asking their “flock” to donate to these relief organizations, they’re asking them to make donations (minimum $500, $3000 will get you an nice mention in your ethics folder) to buy (at full price) Scientology books and pamphlets for their “Volunteer Ministers” to proselytize in Haiti with.

Yeah. That’s just what desperate Haitians need. Not food. Not water. Not medical supplies. Not shelter. Not doctors.

What they REALLY need is some L. Ron Hubbard bullshit and a photo opportunity with some asshat Volunteer Minister giving magical touch assists and LRH propaganda.

Guess what? Even after their own membership paid for these stupid pamphlets, Scientologists were SELLING them (er, asking for a “fixed donation”) during the aftermath of the 9/11 attack in the US and the 7/7 bombing in the UK.

See the transcript of the BBC Radio undercover report of their shenanigans here:

Here’s just one sample email the Church of Scientology sent out to its membership immediately following the earthquake in Haiti:

From: “Patrick Howson”

Subject: Your urgent help is needed for Haiti…

Hello ,

As you know just several days ago there was a 7.0 earthquake in Haiti.

As a direct result of this catastrophe tens of thousands of people have died and an entire nation has gone into total chaos.

The Church of Scientology has started to ship out dozens of Volunteer Ministers to give aid to the tens of thousands that need it. Similar to the situation when 911 hit the USA, we need to get as much Scientology technology into the hands of the Haitian people.

As we steadily increase the number of VMs being sent, so must we also increase the amount of Scientology tech into the hands of people.

Right now we (Bridge Publications Inc.) are requesting that every single Scientologist lend a hand in this. We will be shipping thousands upon thousands of Scientology Handbook booklets and other various basic Scientology tools to the VMs on site. They in turn will distribute these to the public on the ground while hatting them on how to use the tech.

All donations for fully tax deductible.

I am asking you for a donation to this cause. The minimum donation being asked is $500. Any one making a donation of $3,000 or more will receive a very special commendation that will go directly into their ethics file.

To make a donation, call directly to (323) 899-1034, or email me back your information.

You can also make your $500 donation on-line here:
