http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights A Scientologist's position on Human Rights, as well as various human rights-related news from around the world. en humanrights humanrights Wed, 25 Oct 2006 06:27:00 +0200 daily 1 Here's another look at the new Scientology Church in London, which will be the emanation point for all of the Human Rights campaigns in the UK.  "This new church packs the full body of L Ron Hubbard's technologies as derived from the greater well of Scientology knowledge," said Mr. David Miscavige , “and, as such, it provides the full gamut of Scientology activities for the betterment of mankind."

The typical London rain at the opening didn't seem to dampen anybody's spirits, as the people in London were extremely enthused about the new church and what it means for Scientology in the United Kingdom, and all of the church's programs there.   Per the article posted on the Scientology London website (newly designed, very nice), Mr. David Miscavige was the keynote speaker at the event, which apparently had...

World War I was so savage and brutal it was named the “war to end all wars." Yet a mere twenty years later the world was once again embroiled in global conflict. And in the name of preventing a reoccurrence of the infamous atrocities of World War II, in 1948 the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was born, in the realization that — recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.” But almost 60 years after the Universal Declaration was adopted by the member states of the United Nations, a brief glance at the news demonstrates the harsh truth — that the implementation of the human...

The Marathon was co-sponsored by the Moscow government, the Church of Scientology of Moscow and the Moscow chapter of Youth for Human Rights International. MOSCOW : For the thousands of Russian runners, who raced here on Sunday, world peace is not just a slogan — it is a mission. The Church of Scientology of Moscow joined the local chapter of Youth for Human Rights International and the Moscow government in organizing the 26th annual International Marathon for Peace. Human rights was a major topic covered by Mr. David Miscavige in his talks to world celebrities and leaders , and in subsequent presentations since. It's a major factor of what Scientologists do, in terms of ensuring Human Rights are available for all -- not just for people of the Scientology Religion, but for all religions.   Sun, 08 Oct 2006 23:56:00 +0200 http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Human-Rights-March-at-the-Kremlin/4720/ http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Human-Rights-March-at-the-Kremlin/4720/ The Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour working with the Suva, Fiji soccer team to help them improve their reaction time, have fewer accidents and make speedier recoveries from injuries. Ever since 2004, after Mr. David Miscavige went over the actions the Scientology Volunteer Ministers have been taking in his incredible This is Scientology address, Scientology Volunteer Ministers have been touring the world, in remote locations such as Fiji.   Here's one interesting anecdote I got from ScientologyToday :   When the Suva Minister of Sports learned that Dianetics technology could help the members of the Suva Soccer team improve their reaction time, have fewer accidents and make speedier recoveries from injuries, the he was very interested.  In fact, he told the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour, "Suva is my team, help them!"     Sun, 08 Oct 2006 07:15:00 +0200 http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Fiji-Soccer-Team-Gets-Helped-Scientology-Ministers/4719/ http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Fiji-Soccer-Team-Gets-Helped-Scientology-Ministers/4719/   Austrian Scientologists Working to Make Human Rights a Fact This summer, Youth for Human Rights International conducted their third annual human rights World Tour, where they held a series of 30 events, releasing one of these new films at each event.

I'm hoping this is the sort of thing that goes on in all cities, as with a person-to-person message on drugs (as I heard a speaker talk about at an event) this is something that will turn around the drug scene for real. http://www.scientologytoday.org/press/609270001491_scn-local.html Wed, 04 Oct 2006 04:53:00 +0200 http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Scientologists-in-Bruxelles-Combating-Drugs/4717/ http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Scientologists-in-Bruxelles-Combating-Drugs/4717/ India is a perplexing country to some, myself included. Here is a country which suffers from poverty, from unreal third-world conditions and human rights violations for a large majority of its population, and is a country stuffed with over a billion people.  See photos of their most major cities, and with the exception of a few, they pale in aesthetics and engineering to many other world cities like Hong Kong and New York City. However, in and amongst all that are millions upon millions of some of the most brilliant people on earth.  Here is a country filled with absurd amounts of talent and thinking men & women — and not just in the area of computer, network, civil and electrical engineering either.  These are luminary philosophers, brilliant movie makers and writers, etc. With all that, what technology does India then need to move it forward?  In some countries one could argue that it’s cell phones, or perhaps automobiles.  Perhaps it’s a better flu...

Most people don't realize it, but slavery is actually still occuring in present time.  It's one of those basic human rights that most who live in their comfortable suburban U.S. dwellings may not see as an issue, but it a major issue abroad.   To find out what you can do about this, contact the Scientology Human Rights Office         Sun, 24 Sep 2006 09:35:00 +0200 http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Committee-the-Rights-the-Child-Sees-Human-Rights/4713/ http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Committee-the-Rights-the-Child-Sees-Human-Rights/4713/ Here's another nifty collage, this time made on the Ideal Scientology Churches which are around the world in Buffalo, New York City, San Francisco, Johannesburg and Madrid.   These are all from a Kaboodle page which allows you to easily create such things.   Ideal Scientology Churches Sat, 23 Sep 2006 05:22:00 +0200 http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Ideal-Scientology-Churches-Flash-Collage/4712/ http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Ideal-Scientology-Churches-Flash-Collage/4712/ Just found something really nifty which can be done with Kaboodle pages , in that you can create Flash collages of items that you put together.  This is a collage of grand opening speeches by Mr. David Miscavige , of Scientology organizations which have been opened in the last few years.    David Miscavige Speeches Mon, 18 Sep 2006 21:33:00 +0200 http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Collage-of-Scientology-Grand-Openings/4711/ http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Collage-of-Scientology-Grand-Openings/4711/ There are other Human Rights blogs and Scientology blogs which have all been gathered into one place on the net, and that's on Kaboodle .  This is using social bookmarking for what it's for, which is for aggregating content and showing it in one place for everyone to see, comment on, and save for themselves if they like it.   The Scientology blogs are on-line at: http://www.kaboodle.com/jetteroheller/scientology-blogs.html From there, you can find out what Scientologists have to say about Human Rights , Scientology , the Church's Anti-Drug campaign , and other such elements.  Mon, 18 Sep 2006 00:36:00 +0200 http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Human-Rights-Scientology-Blogs/4710/ http://www.blogigo.ch/Scientology_and_Human_Rights/Human-Rights-Scientology-Blogs/4710/ As I've posted before, there is much that needs to be done worldover in the realm of human rights, especially in oppressed countries like Zimbabwe where one is even denied the right of congregation (i.e. get together in a group of 5 or more and you can be arrested).  However, in relatively modern countries like France, there is no excuse for Human Rights violations.   The Human Rights France site has recently been upgraded by the Church of Scientology and can answer your questions on a number of topics on this.   Items on this include:  International Actions for Tolerance Human Rights Activists • Kofi Annan • L.

However, what would you say if you knew that there was an actual, architected plan at work to ensure that the leaders of tomorrow were more incompetent, more controllable, and more susceptible to being pushed around by big corporations and vested interests?  I read an intriguing article on humanrights4all.org (part of the Scientology Effective Solutions series, by the Church of Scientology International )  describing the architected plan of psychiatrists and drug companies to destroy our future leaders with mind-numbing drugs so as to make people easier to control.
