Scientology black PR?? In Ireland??

Apparently so.

For those unaware of what black PR is here is the explanation from Wikipedia:

Black Public Relations (BPR) or negative PR is a process of destroying someone's reputation and corporate identity. In other words, instead of concentrating your efforts in the maintenance and the creation of a positive reputation/ image of your clients, you are trying to discredit someone' else (usually your business rivals). Unlike the regular services in Public…

Assuming you do not require any extra auditing that’ll cost you a total of £3,145. Adjusted for inflation that’s about €5,700 which is a sizeable chunk of change – and you still aren’t anywhere near being clear… Continue

From the archives - part 1

Been going through some old files today and came across this interesting letter from a Scientologist to the Dialogue Centre (the precursor to Dialogue Ireland). I am guessing it is from 1994 (there is no date on it).

The reason I am posting it here, in full, is because it is illustrative of the Scientology response to criticism. I include my comments below.

Sir,

My name is [name snipped] and I am a Scientologist. You do not know me but you have met my…

Gerard Ryan writes to Dialogue Ireland

It appears that Gerard Ryan has taken the time to write a little letter to tell Dialogue Ireland exactly what he thinks about our protests. This blog entry is what I think of it.

The first thing that strikes me about Mr. Ryan’s letter is that according to him, apparently, we Anonymous protesters are Mike Garde’s “acolytes”.

Anonymous’ reaction to Mr. Ryan’s claims

Mind Body Spirit Raid at RDS

I will be attending the expo, but can't do the raid. I will 'happen' to be at the right place at the right time with a vid cam to film it. Please let me know what time and what day(s) you will be doing it. I can get 50 free entrance passes to the show with what I'm doing there. If someone will meet me outside a bit before I can give them to you so you can do every day without having to pay. Let me know what you think

'THE PHELAN Family [from Clonmel] has not seen or heard from their brother Tony since January 2002. Prior to that we had only seen him on a couple of occasions since 1994 when we made our first public protest against Scientology. Tony's involvement in Scientology has led him to disconnect from us.
