======== Subject: Austrian surprise party for American Scientologist From: GSNews Date: Thu, 4 Nov 1999 19:03:39 -0500 Message-ID: Scientology: Unexpected surprise at the concert Vienna, Austria November 3, 1999 Die Presse Vienna (do). American singer Mark Janicello received a birthday surprise of the other kind on Tuesday evening at a Mario Lanza musical presentation of "Be My Love" in the Vienna Akzent Theater. After the intermission, opponents of the Scientology sect suddenly stood up from their seats in the first row, took pictures of main actor Janicello and distributed leaflets against Scientology. The singer, who is said to be a member of Scientology, interrupted his performance and apologized to the public. "The theater is really no place for that," he said. "Some people just don't have any manners." The audience, most of whom had no idea what the disturbance was all about, apparently agreed with Janicello and loudly booed the sect opponents. ---------------------------- On Wed, 03 Nov 1999 01:55:44 +0100, el awadalla wrote in <381F8810.31A4A6C3@awadalla.at>: Today (11-2), four people went into the Viennese Theater Akzent to give out information about Mark Janicello and Scientology. Two of the four wore t-shirts which read "Scientology Kills," which Janicello could see from the stage as could the primarily older women which made up the audience. Shortly after the intermission, the group left the theater, in doing so one person laid leaflets on the stage. Janicello interrupted the performance and did not continue until all four were outside. In the foyer, a policeman took down the personal data of this person, while the other three distributed leaflets to the employees and shuffled them into the programs which were lying around. Afterwards they stuck the rest of the leaflets on the cars parked around the theater, also on each theater entrance. The public understood surprisingly little of the whole operation (indicative of the Austrian awareness of Scientology), yet the staff and the police read the flyers with interest. The play itself was unbelievably bad. The high point of the embarrassing dramatization was before the intermission, when Janicello and his female partner sang along with a film of themselves which was projected on a large screen. Janicello looked completely different on the film and did not manage to sing in sync with it once. the flyer (nothing especially original) is here:: http://www.awadalla.at/el/janicelloflugi.html --------------------------- "" Home * News * Publications * Literature * Links * Guestbook * Search Literature about: VPM & Co. * Scientology * Unification Church * Bioregionalism and Ecoesoterik * UFOs and other extraterrestrials * Pyramid games, MLMs * Antifa * Other groups and themes * Law * Hopeless, but not serious Flyer on Janicello in the Akzent Mark Janicello and Scientology There is probably no other organization that uses all the opportunities for recruitment that Scientology does: from talking to acquaintances about a communications course and mass mailings to professional internet pages. Some people who have shown an interest in the SO [Scientology Organization] and have unsuspectingly given away their addresses have received piles of mail and inquiries by telephone; a flow which a negative attitude has yet to stem. Public agencies and politicians are drowning in a flood of glossy brochures. In this sense, an appearance by Janicello can also be regarded as a Scientology advertisement. Several recruitment appearances by Janicello in Austria: 7-30. Oberpullendorf: During a concert, he introduced himself as a Scientologist. 8-4-1998 Innsbruck, at a performance for religious freedom for Scientology 12-10-1998 Vienna, Stephansplatz, together with the Scientology "Say No to Drugs" movement. There he presented himself as a recognized artist supporting the good of the public. The path to a Scientology society is through an infiltration of all areas of society: "" The goal of Scientology is a "cleared" world. In doing that, Hubbard proposed that a part of the population, estimated by him at 20 percent and which he has categorized as "anti-social" (i.e., critical of Scientology), should be isolated from society (of the Scientologists); he said another 2.5 percent should be eliminated immediately. Today Scientology introduces itself as a religion, it used to introduce itself as an applied philosophy. When problems with the tax officials had shown up in the USA, the tax advantages of a religious denomination were recognized. An assessment of the SO [Scientology Organization] was made in Germany in the judgment of the Federal Labor Court on 22 March 1995: the membership and the "religious" services in the SO are commercialized. The teachings of a religious or worldview nature only serve as a pretext for commercial goals; there can be no discussion of a religious denomination in the sense of Basic Law. Scholar Prof. Able, summed up: "SO does not present its saving concept as one possibility among many, but as absolute, and thus intends to implement it absolutely. If one considers Scientology's concepts in connection with the whole, the transformation of such ideas into reality is the equivalent of establishing a totalitarian dictatorship. Thinking in Scientology depends only upon itself. This thinking is incompatible with the principles of state order in the FR of Germany and other democratic, constitutional states." L. Ron Hubbard, the Founder of Scientology On democracy and dealing with critics of Scientology: "" "" "" "" "" "" "... And I don't see that popular measures, self-abnegation and democracy have done anything for Man but push him further into the mud. Currently, popularity endorses degraded novels, self-abnegation has filled the South East Asian jungles with stone idols and corpses, and democracy has given us inflation and income tax." - L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL 7 Feb 65 r. 15 Jun 70, "Keeping Scientology Working" "<... democracies hate intelligence and ability. Don't get caught up in that mess. [...] Democracy is only possible in a nation of clears - and even then mistakes can still be made. If the majority rules, the minorities suffer.>" "" "" "1) Spot who is attacking us. 2) Start Investigating them promptly for FELONIES or worse using our own professionals, not outside agencies. 3) Double curve our reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them. 4) Start feeding lurid, blood sex crime actual evidence on the attackers to the press. Don't ever tamely submit to an investigation of us. Make it rough, rough on attackers all the way. " The enemy "may be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed." - HCOPL 18 October, 1967, "Penalties for Lower Conditions" First appeared: flyer of 2 November 1999 Home * News * Publications * Literature * Links * Guestbook * Search Literature about: VPM & Co. * Scientology * Unification Church * Bioregionalism and Ecoesoterik * UFOs and other extraterrestrials * Pyramid games, MLMs * Antifa * Other groups and themes * Law * Hopeless, but not serious Last modified: Wed Nov 3 01:51:04 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------- There are seven articles previously listed on Janicello at http://members.tripod.com/German_Scn_News/gsnidx_j.htm#janicello This information was provided for your reading entertainment with the able assistance of: Tilman Hausherr tilman@berlin.snafu.de http://www.snafu.de/~tilman/scientology_ger.html Fotos fm Clearwater: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/4497/clearwater/ Fotos fm Los Angeles: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/4497/losangeles1998/ ---------------------------------------------------- German Scientology News Unofficial translations from German-speaking countries Index/link to over 750 articles - http://cisar.org/trnmenu.htm Informational publications - http://members.tripod.com/German_Scn_News For non-commercial use only Have a nice day
