Beckstein: "Scientology
® is a system of
Measures taken by the Bavarian state administration against Scientology
+++ Bavaria's Secretary of the Interior, Dr. Gunther
Beckstein, characterized the Scientology Organization (SO)
as a system of organized child exploitation. Ex-members
reports testify that children have been subjected to
degrading and arduous forced work. "The SO system aims
for the destruction of natural parent-child relationships, with
the risk of severe psychological damage to children.
Beckstein criticizes the SO system, "the SO transgresses the
human rights of parents and children with their robotic
teachings of the creation of a cybernetically directed
technocracy." +++
On the evening of September 18, 1997, in a talk in
Augsburg, Interior Secretary Dr. Gunther Beckstein warned
parents and students of being taken in by Scientology in
education and in the fight against drugs. The Scientology
system is only looking for more victims in this. The human
friendliness shown in the advertisements is only a facade of
pretense."
The true face of the SO teachings is shown, according to
Beckstein, in the story of Tanya, the young ex-member. She
had to perform forced labor with the Scientology elite unit,
the Sea Org, along with other young people and also
children. With total disregard for their human rights, children
and youth were systematically ill-used, and their work was
exploited by the system. Arduous physical work was
demanded from youths and children from 8:30 in the
morning to 10 at night, up to seven days a week. Further
examples: night labor, digging ditches, cleaning sewage
pipes, building walls, sorting out mail by the bagful up until 3
o'clock in the morning by 13 year olds; insufficient time for
lunch; punishment for unpermitted trips to the bathroom
during work.
"Parents that follow Hubbard's prescribed regimen for
raising children according to 'Child Dianetics' endanger the
development of their children," warned Beckstein. Among
the brutal training methods recommended by Hubbard are
the inquisition-like processes of questioning and the unkind
training of toddlers. Staff members' time with their children
are often restricted to a minimum. If need be, children who
disturb their parents' work for the SO are declared to be
"suppressive persons." That means that parents and child
must separate.
As far as the SO campaign "Children say no to drugs,"
Beckstein stated, "SO presents itself as a fighter against
drugs. It distributes leaflets and brochures against drug
abuse. Following the USA model, meetings are announced
in which children are publicly praised for leading a drug-free
life. Actually, this campaign only serves for recruitment of
victims into the power apparatus and money-making
machine of Scientology. It is claimed in the increasing
advertisements for Narconon
®
that the drug problem is being
alleviated. In reality, however, parents are being financially
exploited and youth, as well as their parents, are introduced
into an addictive relationship. Cases have been documented
in which, people, after being exploited, have been left to
backslide by the organization."
