Human Rights for All

Human Rights for All

By applying Scientology in my life, I find that it inherently increases my own viewpoint on others, including other groups and people that I don’t even know and people of all ages or races. There is no doubt that a sane world is one where human rights are guaranteed and where freedom to be comes naturally.

Scientology helps not only through the immense technology and laws of life, but also in its application and in its procedures. There are however, several points in The Code of a Scientologist which come to mind in supporting human rights that I feel have to be mentioned. The Code says:

“As a Scientologist, I pledge myself to the Code of Scientology for the good of all. …
2. To use the best I know of Scientology to the best of my ability to help my family, friends, groups and the world.
4. To decry and do all I can to abolish any and all abuses against life and Mankind.
8. To support true humanitarian endeavors in the fields of human rights.
9. To embrace the policy of equal justice for all.
10. To work for freedom of speech in the world.
11. To actively decry the suppression of knowledge, wisdom, philosophy or data which would help Mankind.
12. To support the freedom of religion.
20. To make this world a saner, better place.”

In that same vein, The Creed of the Church of Scientology, written in 1954, is equally clear. It says, in part:

“We of the Church believe
That all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights.
That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their performance.
That all men have inalienable rights to their own lives.
That all men have inalienable rights to their sanity.
That all men have inalienable rights to their own defense.
That all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist or support their own organizations, churches and governments.
That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write freely their own opinions and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions of others.
That all men have inalienable rights to the creation of their own kind.
That the souls of men have the rights of men.
That the study of the mind and the healing of mentally caused ills should not be alienated from religion or condoned in nonreligious fields.
And that no agency less than God has the power to suspend or set aside these rights, overtly or covertly.”

L. Ron Hubbard once stated: “On the day we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth.”

Perhaps it isn’t real for you, but I have discovered that the greater responsibility I take for my own area and the people around me, the greater I respect them as people and grant them their own space and ability to be who they are. This extends further to a greater respect and a natural love for all people. You see it in races and places all over the world where they respect others, that extension of care and respect is very much appreciated and goes a long way toward human relations. The subject of help is one which could use a lot of improvement and you may have noticed when someone helped you in a time of need, you were very thankful.

In addition to the work done by the Church of Scientology to increase awareness of human rights, I appreciate the work that the Youth for Human Rights International has done and their sister organization Artists for Human Rights. I know that they take extensive measures every year to spread the word of peace and human rights in all countries, including many third world countries. They also both heavily support the Universal Declaration on Human Rights.

In support of human rights, I think you will like this video of UNITED:

Scientology Tube - New Video Channel

In the exploding world of video and Internet graphics, the Church of Scientology is taking it to a grand new level. The Church of Scientology has just launched a massive new video channel on its official website, www.scientology.org.

With over 80 different videos, the newly designed and high-end flashy website provides a visual overview of the basic beliefs and practices of the Scientology religion, like you’ve never seen before.

It also provides a glimpse of the many humanitarian Church-sponsored programs in the fields of drug abuse, illiteracy, human rights and disaster relief.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston host fundraiser for Narconon in Hawaii

John Travolta and Kelly Preston host fundraiser for Narconon in Hawai’i

HONOLULU, HAWAI’I: Kelly Preston and her husband, John Travolta, were hosting a lavish dinner celebration today, Thursday to support a new Narconon rehab center in Hawai’i.

“This is my baby,” Preston told The Associated Press of her efforts to provide drug education, prevention and rehabilitation services.

A Hawaii native, Kelly Preston said she came home to help address the islands’ growing problem with crystal meth. She started three years ago, working with school and government officials to launch Narconon in Hawai’i.

The dinner will raise money to support that program as well as a new residential drug-rehabilitation facility. The 60-bed Narconon Hawai’i center is expected to open in “two to three months,” Preston said.

She was quoted saying: “This is my first one” and ”I would love to continue doing it on the islands — on each of maybe four or five of the main islands — and I’d love another one also here, a juvenile facility.”

She also told the local TV station (KgMB9): “I know that this program works.  I know that it gets a 75% success rate.  It’s amazing.”

Narconon is a worldwide drug rehabilitation and education network with facilities in 40 countries. It is based on the principles of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology.  It is also one of the most effective drug rehab programs.  http://www.narconon.org  Narconon has more than 100 drug prevention and treatment centers around the world.

“Our goal collectively as an organization is to help with collaboration of everybody else, have a drug free Hawaii,” said Narconon Hawaii president Myron Thompson.

As you know, Kelly Preston and Travolta, who have been married 15 years, are both Scientologists and as humanitarians both have been supporting efforts to get kids off drugs for a long time.   Read my prior article on this very point: Kelly Speaks Out Against Drugs.

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/05/24/arts/NA-A-E-CEL-US-Kelly-Preston.php

Here is a story about a man named Chad Bloom whose life was destroyed by drugs until he found the Narconon program:

Kapolei resident Chad Bloom, 21, told KGMB9 (local Hawai’i tv) his life was a mess before Narconon.

“That’s when I quit work.  And that’s all I was doing.  Going out to find more drugs.  Going out to find where they were.  And using them,” Bloom said.

Desperate for help Bloom entered the Narconon rehab program in Oklahoma last December.  He graduated from the program in mid-April and today says he is drug free.

“I’m very confident that I’m done with it.  I have no doubts what so every that I won’t go back to it,” Bloom said.

“It’s wonderful.  I mean, he’s back and he’s that person I always knew he could be,” added Lari Bloom, Chad’s mother.

http://kgmb9.com/kgmb/display.cfm?storyID=11527&sid=1183

Narconon Hawai’i has been delivering basic drug education in Hawai’i schools since January 2005. To date, Narconon drug educators have given presentations to more than 23,000 students in 65 schools. Analysis of initial responses from those students have shown positive results–informal surveys show that 89% stated they would never start taking drugs, or were now against drugs as a result of the Narconon presentations.

A year ago, Preston and Narconon Hawai’i teamed up with other island drug prevention groups to distribute free “parent kits”, designed to help parents learn how to more effectively talk to their children about the dangers of drug abuse. The kit, introduced by Lt. Governor James “Duke” Aiona and University of Hawai’i football coach June Jones, includes essential information and simple lesson plans most anyone can follow. As a result of the distribution campaign, which included television public service announcements featuring Preston airing repeatedly on all four local networks, thousands of families requested and received the free kit.

Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann proclaimed the week of May 20 - May 27, 2006 “Teaching our Kids the Truth About Drugs Week” to commemorate the launch of the kit distribution on the islands.

The Foundation for a Drug Free World also heavily promotes drug-education materials with their newly designed website at http://www.drugfreeworld.org.  They also have booklets on key drugs which provide lots of useful information concerning these drugs and the harm they create and what to do about it.

John Travolta - Success with Scientology

John Travolta - Success with Scientology

John Travolta has been a long time Scientologist and his movies continue to be rake in the millions and please his fans.  His last movie Wild Hogs did very well.

John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston are also very active on various community activities, which I find to be a very humanitarian effort.  For example, they will be at a fundraiser in Hawaii on May 24th, 2007 to support Narconon, a drug rehabilitation program which has proven to be a very successful program. (http://www.narconon.org)  Read my earlier blog entry on this at: http://spiritualbeing.wordpress.com/2007/05/09/john-travolta-and-kelly-preston-to-host-anti-drug-event/

To say that John Travolta has had a successful career in life would be an understatement.  Not to mention, he happens to be one of the only celebrities that I know that fly jets and can park one by their own house.  It is quite amazing.

John Travolta has definitely expressed a lot concerning his religion of Scientology and here is a success story which I found which was published in the book What is Scientology?

“In January of 1975 I was working on my first film in Durango, Mexico. There I met an actress who gave me the book Dianetics. During the five weeks we were filming she gave me some auditing sessions and applied some basic principles. That was when I became involved in Dianetics – because it worked.

“When I returned to the United States I began Scientology training and auditing. My career immediately took off and I landed a leading role on the TV show “Welcome Back Kotter” and had a string of successful films. I have been a successful actor for more than twenty years and Scientology has played a major role in that success.

“I have a wonderful child and a great marriage because I apply L. Ron Hubbard’s technology to this area of my life.

“As a Scientologist, I have the technology to handle life’s problems and I have used this to help others in life as well.

“I would say that Scientology put me into the big time.”

Scientology Volunteer Ministers - Disaster Response

Scientology Volunteer Ministers — Disaster Response Teams

Scientology Volunteer Ministers (http://volunteerministers.org) are becoming more and more of a recognized force in the community bringing yet another great force to help others in times of disaster.

You will find that almost all key disasters the world over will have a team of Scientology Volunteer Ministers in yellow t-shirts providing whatever assistance is needed to assist the individuals most affected by the situation. 

They were there at Ground Zero during 9/11.  They were there during Hurricane Katrina and Rita (among other hurricanes in Florida and Latin America).  They were there when the tsunami shocked Asia (in fact some are still there still saving lives).  They were there in brush fires in Africa and Australia. 

Fact is, the Scientology Volunteer Ministers are willing to come and help deal with almost any disaster.  Most recently, they have come to the scene in Tamil, Solomon Islands, Los Angeles (Griffith Park fire), Virginia Tech and now the Greensburg, Kansas tornado devastation (where Kirstie Alley joined the team bringing in truck loads of food and supplies). 

Scientology Volunteer Ministers usually come as soon as they can and will bring all forms of help to ease the situation and help people.  The motto: SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT.  Some of their activities have included delivering food and supplies to officials and stranded people, providing Scientology “assists” which are unique services developed by Scientology’s founder, L. Ron Hubbard, which have been proven to help re-orient a person with his surroundings, so that he is not a continual effect of the traumatic nature of disastrous, depressing, worrying or other serious situations and also to make him more at cause over his body, mind and spirit.  Sometimes these assists have unbelievably miraculous results.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers have become the largest non-governmental disaster relief force on Earth.  A truly non-personal humanitarian cause to help people in times of need.  You can recognize them, next time you see them, with their bright yellow t-shirts.

Psychiatry: An Industry of Death Museum

Psychiatry: An Industry of Death Museum

With public distrust of psychiatry increasing—and government agency drug warnings at an all-time high—a Church of Scientology-sponsored psychiatric watchdog group (Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR)) shows that it’s much worse than you think.

On December 17, 2005, Citizens Commission of Human Rights held their grand opening of the Psychiatry: An Industry of Death Museum in Los Angeles, California.

The museum features 14 documentaries with statements from scores of health professionals, academics, legal and human rights experts, and victims of psychiatric brutalities ranging from electroshock and involuntary commitment to political torture, psychosurgery and the devastating effects of psychotropic drugs. The state-of-the-art museum documents that psychiatry is an industry driven entirely by profit, and provides practical guidance for lawmakers, doctors, human rights advocates and private citizens to take action in their own sphere to bring psychiatry under the law.

Community and government leaders were joined by ardent celebrity supporters Lisa Marie Presley, Priscilla Presley, Danny Masterson, Giovanni Ribisi, Leah Remini, Jenna Elfman, Catherine Bell and Marisol Nichols at the grand opening.

More than 2,300 people attended.  Speakers included Martin Whitely, a member of parliament from Western Australia, Georgia Senator Nancy Schaefer, Dr. Jeffrey A. Schaler, psychologist and professor of Justice, Law and Society at American University, Washington, DC. and Liberty Committee Executive Director Kent Snyder.

Jan Eastgate, President of CCHR International stated, “There have been 18 psychiatric drug warnings issued in the last year alone, which link suicide, hostility, worsening depression, mania, hallucinations and death to psychiatric drugs that reap $80 billion a year—an abuse CCHR has persistently exposed for three decades.”

A sampling of current statistics and facts shown in the new museum include:

• Psychiatrists are using electroshock, drugs and other barbaric means to torture political dissidents.

• 17 million children worldwide are taking psychiatric drugs, which can cause suicide, hostility, violence, mania and drug dependence.

• More than 100,000 patients die each year in psychiatric institutions.

• Annually, psychiatrists kill up to 10,000 people with their use of electroshock—460 volts of electricity sent searing through the brain. Three-quarters of all electroshock victims are women.

• Psychiatrists and psychologists have raped 250,000 women. Studies show that 10 to 25 percent of psychiatrists sexually assault their patients; of every 20 of these victims one is likely to be a minor.

http://www.scientology.org/en_US/news-media/briefing/2005/hr/051221.html

Perhaps this explains why Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley, Marisol Nichols, Kelly Preston and so many others support CCHR and disapprove of psychiatry’s drugging of kids and ruining our culture.

Kate Ceberano Inspires Students to be Human Rights Advocates

Kate Ceberano Inspires Students to be Human Rights Advocates

On January 25, 2007, Scientologist singer Kate Ceberano and the  Sydney chapter of Youth for Human Rights held a youth summit at the New South Wales Parlimanent.  Guest speakers included the Honourable David Clarke, a senior Parliamentarian of the NSW Parliament, Mr. Graeme Innes, the Australian Human Rights Commissioner and the Honourable Charlie Lynn, the Shadow Minister for Sport.

http://www.scientologytoday.org/press/701242239481_scn-local.html

Students watched several of the human rights PSAs by Youth for Human Rights and they also participated in discussing key human rights issues in order to increase awareness of human rights in Australia. 

Kate Ceberano presented the Hon. David Clarke with a petition containing 16,500 signatures of Australian youth, asking for human rights education to be mandated throughout New South Wales, and for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to be implemented in full in the state.
