There are a few dozen people who, as a group, rush to disaster sites just to victimize the victims. When the twin towers at the World Trade Center collapsed, they rushed there to find victims they could further victimize. Those victims included the people injured during and after the disaster, the people working to save the trapped and injured, and the city government who was paying for that rescue effort. What would you call such people as these? Would you call these people "Evil?" Would you call them "Criminal?" Or maybe "Fiendish, villainous, and despicable?"

Well, the criminal commercial enterprise that calls itself "The 'Church' of Scientology®" uses a different phrase: "A Scientology Volunteer 'Minister.'" This group of about twenty-five individuals act like sharks at the smell of blood; only in their case, the blood is MONEY and PROPAGANDA. The rest of the world called the World Trade Center disaster a crime and tragedy: to Scientology® Inc. is was a BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.

The Human Rights Activist community calls these abominable parasites "Vulture 'Ministers.'"

Great post...and so true. I was a person who would go out for the "Church of Scientology" to try to help people. The truth is, many who try to help mean to.

The sick part is it is being run by "Executives of C of S" who only care about one thing: Getting good press for Scientology.

After I saw this over and over, it was one of the many things that helped me wake up. Who ARE these people? They're "Executives" running the Vulture Program, calling it VM ..when in truth, they could care LESS about volunteering, or the people. Sick, but true.

I challenge any one of the "Executives" of the cult known as Church of Scientology to meet me in front of the press and discuss this issue. Any day, any time.

ground zero volunteer horrified by Scientology vultures Sat, 2 Mar 2002 12:44:52 +0000 (UTC)

A woman I know worked as a volunteer at Ground Zero in Manhattan five days after the 9/11 disaster. Below are her personal observations about the unauthorized presence of Scientologists at the official command center, and how she managed to get them booted out. I'm withholding her name to protect her from Scientology harassment of the sort we're all too familiar with.

----------------------------------------------

I thought you might appreciate my own personal recent (nightmare) experience with Scientologists -

Through my membership with an international children's charitable organization that coordinated with the Red Cross in response to the 9/11 disaster, I found myself working with a mental health/mass care group assigned to Ground Zero five days after the attack. (The fires were still burning and gaining the proper Federal ID, etc. required to access "The Pile" and interact with the rescue workers... police and fire units and medical volunteers... was lengthy even with Red Cross sponsorship.) In spite of the mind-numbing horror of the site itself, balanced by the amazing and countering displays of humanity among those on site, one of the largest jolts of emotion that I had was when I entered the official command center (federal and local agencies) housed in a school at the foot of the rubble. The lobby area was overrun by Scientology reps (a dozen or more?) offering their brand of 'bearing witness' in exchange for minor first aid (foot powder, bandaides, massages, cots). The displays of their pamphlets and books spread strategically throughout the area was marketing at its most agressive. They all donned brightly colored t-shirts and, striking me as eerily inappropriate at the time, seemed to be festive in their demeanor.

A mental health volunteer and I immediately sought out the 'central command' of the relief effort and made a formal complaint. Long story short, no one had apparently authorized their presence and in fact, Guilliani, wisely, had publicly and formally strictly forbidden religious groups from any visible presence.....after all, wasn't it this kind of fanaticism that inspired the insanity of the attacks?

No one knew how they had gotten access and they were routed out later that day. I had been moved to soul-depleting nausea when I glanced at some of the posters and flyers depicting space ships and aliens (with comic book style graphics) and considered that their ability to promote this view of 'reality' at a time when all of us where questioning our reality as being no different from Bin Laden's inspirations and applications. I still consider their presense as 'intellectual and spiritual terrorism' that was taking opportunistic advantage of people (police and firemen and I assume family members at the Pier site) who were still in the shock of having, for example, watched "15 of my friends who were rushing the building in formation to help get people out and seeing the building crush them ALL" (direct quote from one of the NYPD officers I spoke with.)

This is not to say that there weren't other religions represented by individuals (met one priest who was sensitive enough to remove his collar before dispensing psychological / spiritual comfort along with eyewash and footpads), but they operated as individual volunteers simply availing themselves to anyone who wanted to speak with them. No religious tracts, bibles or other paraphanelia visible anywhere. The Scientologist's were the only ones sucking the much needed air out of the site by promoting their agenda. They were Scientologists FIRST and human beings SECOND. Oh yeah, that's consistent isn't it?

The Vulture "Minister" quoted below crowed proudly about the efforts of Scientologists *PREVENTING* people from receiving emergency services and aid. He called this despicable behavior "brilliant maneuvering." The following is from the on-line e-list for Scientologists only.

"Additionally we are trying to move in and knock the psychs [psychiatrists and psychologists] out of counseling to the grieving families and that could take another 100 plus people right now. Due to some brilliant maneuvering by some simply genius Sea Org Members we tied up the majority of the psychs who were attempting to get to families yesterday in Q&A, bullbait and wrangling. They have a hard time completing cycles of action and are pretty easy to disperse. But today they are out in full force and circling like vultures over these people and all of our resources are tied up in the support efforts in the disaster zone at present."

This individual cheered happily about how wonderful the world is now that so many people have died and many more are going to war. One gets the impression this sick creep would like to see a few attacks every now and then, just to funnel more people into Scientology ("the Bridge").

"Due to the incredible acknowledgement our VMs are getting in NY, I think we have produced some major wins for ourselves out of this crisis. With the President and our Congress and military focused on taking out the planetary SPs [Supressive Persons], WE can move in with the tech and really make some headway! Just think of all the new people already on the Bridge!! That is going to multiply geometrically into HUGE proportions. I don't know about the rest of you, but I, for one, am JAZZED!!! Scientology and Scientologists ROCK!!!!!"

Another Scientologist lied insanely about how the Vulture "Ministers" were put in charge of the whole rescue effort--- neglecting to mention them being ejected from the area because they were undesirable.

"And what happened with the psychs [psychologists and psychiatrists] who had been 'In-Charge?' Since we jumped in so quickly, confronted what was needed and then started providing it, even the psychiatrics viewed us as the leaders. So, they started asking us what they should do. We found some good MEST work [menial labor such as digging holes with a shovel; lackey] for them to do, which they did, and they came up tone as they were now contributing."
