Scientologists Equating Scientology To Jews And Critics To Nazis

 

This thread is to ask for and highlight info on a particularly loathsome and offensive tactic Scientology management and celebrities have been doing for decades . Many times in the past Heber Jentzsch has been noted for attempting to forge a bond of identity between Scientology as a persecuted minority and specifically as Jews facing a Holocaust from critics and enemies who he puts in the role of Nazis .

Further , Scientologists have made a point of dressing as Nazis to protest being persecuted as Jews equals on several occasions . Scientologists dressed as Nazis to protest in 1979 and again in 1997. This is an action encouraged and supported by the management of Scientology .

There is an excellent article on this for reference .
Wooing the Jews | Scientology Racism - Solitary Trees
I am going to quote portions of that here for brevity .

When German Chancellor Helmut Kohl visited Australia in July 1997, he was greeted by jeering Scientologists in Nazi-style uniforms with swastika armbands. They confronted him with placards reading "Hands Off Our Religion" and "Is Germany Really A Free Country?"

The Church of Scientology in Germany has, for years, linked itself with the treatment of the Jews under Hitler, claiming the shared experience of persecution.

Though church President Rev. Heber Jentzsch says Scientology's comparison of its treatment in Germany to that of the German Jews under the Nazis has officially stopped because of objections from Jewish leaders, the theme still threads through Scientology publicity.
The comparison with Nazi Germany has irked not only mainstream Jewish organizations but also high officials of both the U.S. and German governments as well, who call it an insult to all Holocaust victims.

Scientology's anti-Germany campaign appears to have backfired. Intensifying in 1994 with full-page newspaper ads using images from the Holocaust and continuing into late 1996 with a letter to Kohl from Hollywood celebrities in the International Herald Tribune, Scientology made more enemies than friends.
Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, called the ads a "trivialization of the Holocaust." U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright termed the comparison "historically inaccurate and totally distasteful," and even former State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns, whose agency has criticized Germany's treatment of Scientologists, called the assertions "outrageous."


As for the "Never Again" campaign, Jentzsch says it was stopped more than a year ago, and he called the Australian demonstration an aberration. "We made a mistake early on by making this comparison. It was offensive to the Jewish people." He says some rabbis agreed to back him on the discrimination issue, but that they also told him, "'You have to understand how we feel with anything that deals with something so horrific as the Holocaust.'"
So the campaign stopped, but that doesn't mean the Church of Scientology has stopped trying to win the support of Jews.

Jentzsch declined to name other Jewish supporters, saying they "are afraid of entering the fray and I understand." But, "frankly, I have had a top Jewish scholar say to me, 'This is the beginning of an attempt to destroy rights, and that is a danger signal. Pray God,' he said, 'it would never turn into the Holocaust.'"

Now , I want to point out that Heber "being permanently tortured so I can never threaten DM " Jentzsch played a trick - he agreed to stop comparing Scientologists to Jews during the Holocaust and then quoted an unnamed source as saying exactly what he just promised to stop saying !

He found a loophole to say exactly what he said he would not ! He went with the "everybody , or an authority says " generality !




Further , aside from the official equating of Scientologists to Jews and enemies to Nazis  - Scientology also equates psychs to Nazis by stating they are behind the Holocaust in numerous ways . They have a Psychiatry an Industry of Death Museum to sell the lie that psychiatry is behind the Holocaust .

And now in more recent years Scientology has public celebrities always strive to answer any negative questions with an evasion and equating Scientology to Jews and enemies to Nazis . ALWAYS . It is what they are told to say by Sea Org members and staff .

Kirstie Alley has done it . Danny Masterson has done it . Jenna Elfman has done it . Bodhi Elfman has done it . Danny Masterson did it in an interview in Papermag http://www.papermag.com/2015/02/danny_masterson_scientology.php . Bodhi Elfman did it in a famous tweet .

I am looking for any and all references to times celebrities and/or cult spokespeople have made the claim . ALL . 100% . I want to know every time , place , form and event down to the last detail .

To expose this as a planned coordinated effort to do one thing : Hide the Nazi components Hubbard placed covertly in Scientology by making it appear absurd and protected by the personal incredulity fallacy . If a fact is the exact opposite of what a person has heard over and over time and again perceiving that fact or even examining evidence of it is often blocked in people's minds . That is why Scientology must at every opportunity have the image of being identical to the Jews as victims of Holocaust persecution . The image makes realizing the truth almost impossible for Scientologists and very often for others as well .

Please , please share any additional information you have on this particularly documented incidents with newspaper articles and interviews that can be confirmed . I want to compile the most iron clad case possible . When exposing Nazism one faces several obstacles . First , the personal incredulity fallacy . People simply have a hard time believing things that are not overtly dressed in swastikas and praising Hitler openly are based on Nazism .

 An appeal to emotion also stands in the way - disgust . Many find thinking of Nazis disgusting and unpleasant - solution any complex examination or discussion is avoided by simply saying " leave that ugly business in the past " . And an appeal to another emotion - the sense of progress - some people often think of mankind as progressing past evil conduct like rape , genocide , child molestation , slavery and discrimination . That is a pleasant idea - and demonstrably untrue . Sometimes children when hearing of the genocide of Native Americans and slavery of Africans brought to the US say "that kind of stuff doesn't happen now" . As if mankind as a whole has grown well past that . But it is not true . There are reportedly tens of millions living in slavery . Genocide is a daily fact of life on earth . Rape happens to millions of women and children every year .

The point of this is not to get you to put a gun in your mouth or hang yourself - it is to show how the idea that the world is nice and people are generally pleasant is more enjoyable than the alternative so many just pick the belief that feels better . Now the earlier statistics I mentioned need to be taken in the perspective that there are multi-billions of people who never rape anyone or enslave anyone or commit major crimes and try to be decent for their whole lives pretty successfully .

But I want to gather any information to help support the exposure of the trend I see of Scientology using the 180 degree lie of being the victims of Nazis to hide their cult being modeled after the Nazis . Please share anything that can help with this effort here .
