themadhair "Church of Scientology fined €600,000" - The Irish Times, October 27th 2009

A Paris court has fined the French branch of the Church of Scientology a total of €600,000 after finding it guilty of fraud but allowed the group to continue operating in France. When the hearing opened, there were expectations that the court could order the group to be banned in France but legislation passed in parliament just before the start of the trial in May, ruled that option out. The legislation has since been changed back to allow the dissolution of an organisation found guilty of fra… Continue

themadhair Mindbenders Conference 2007

From the conference brief:
All of us are being influenced, either consciously or unconsciously and we often popularly say about someone whose behaviour we do not understand that they have been ‘brainwashed.’ However, in law it is a concept that is not really recognised. Certainly we find it hard to understand the 9/11, 7/7, 21/7 homicide bombers and the doctor bombers who tried bomb nightclubs in London and Glasgow Airport last June. Our speakers will try to grapple with the issues o

John Duignan, 45 Interview by Charlotte Philby Saturday, 21 February 2009 The Independent Mine was an uneasy childhood. My father was schizophrenic and had bouts of manic depression.

Just found your site. It's excellent ! As a former scientologist of Irish descent, I am very pleased that you're getting rid of Scientology in Dublin.
