Tonight I was interviewed by the BBC Radio.
It's supposed to air February 21st, 2007.
Here's what happened:
I was invited to do an interview on the BBC. I was told it's a basic
"Documentary" about Scientology. Ok, fair enough.
We did the show, and they told me they'd interviewed the Scientologists.
I asked, "What did they say?"
I was told the Scientologists told them how they're harmless. I
laughed, thinking of my friend Keith Henson who'd just been arrested,
and even more ALL the families I know who've lost their children to
Scientology, the 7 families whose kids took their lives, and my many
friends who were in Scientology and died WAY too young.
Then he told me Scientology had told him how they help people communicate
better, and again I couldn't help but laugh, thinking of ALL of my 30 year
"Friends" who haven't EVER once called and asked me, "Tory,
what happened?" Also, thinking of Joel Phillips, writing endless lies
about people, and refusing ever to speak to me, let alone clarify, "Is
this true?" Communication?
PLEASE!
The Scientologists insisted, of course, that they were happy -- which yah,
sure, when you're in a cult where you're insulated, I remember quite well
feeling "Happy". What about when you begin to see the walls,
and are told: "DON'T LOOK!"???
Lastly, I was shocked to hear again the Scientologists were snickering
about the Xenu story, and how that's just a "Science Fiction
Story". (Of course it is, but they sure don't sell it like that,
and if it's "just a story"... why is it a "High Crime"
to mention the word X E N U ???)
Really? Well then, give me back ALL the damned money I spent trying to
"Get OT" using that very Science Fiction Story they sold as
"Truth Revealed".
Uh huh! I got in http://www.xenu.net and
http://www.xenutv.com as places people
could go to actually READ what Hubbard said, and hear from others who had
also bought these levels -- again, hopefully they'll include those.
They asked some very good questions, so we'll just have to see what all
gets edited out. I got to explain Fair Game briefly, and I mentioned Keith
Henson as an example, suggesting people look him up on the Net to find out
the entire story.
I also got to explain who they've lied about my marriage, and IF I had this
supposed affair with that millionaire; Where IS he? We all got a good
laugh about that! (And no doubt Scientology/OSA will again try to pump
that one. What BS!)
Since it was the BBC radio, they rented a studio here in Burbank, so I
just sat down and off we went. What a delight technology is when it comes
to interviews!
The interviewer was very nice, as was the producer. However, it always
boils down to the editor, and since they're going to go back and get
Scientology's final word, well, we'll see. I wasn't going to post about
it, as I know Scientology, and they'll hammer them, doing their best to
degrade much of what I've said, so we'll see. But I figured, hey, they're
Scientology going to do that anyways, so I may as well make
it public, and then you all can listen on Feb 21st, and decide how fair
the story really is.
Hopefully they'll give a fair showing of both. Good radio, as with good
journalism, shows both sides and lets the listener decide.
I trust and hope they do just that.
