I was privileged yesterday to occupy some time by watching a protest of the Church of Scientology at the Powell Bart Station in San Francisco, CA. The protesters were essentially protesting the tactics and practices of the Church of Scientology who that day were offering their well known "Free Stress Tests" at a table inside the station.

You may ask yourself why some much effort and time is put forth in the protest of the Church of Scientology?

If you were to go based on what the protesters have to say then it would be because the Church of Scientology has been fraudulently trying to con and convince innocent people into a financial scam by using "Free Stress Tests" as a front to then badger individuals into purchasing hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of books, classes and more.

I have done some research in the Church of Scientology and I do have some previous firsthand knowledge as to this organizations operations. Many key members of the organization were charged criminally for acts that closely resemble espionage against the United States.

Now why does the Internal Revenue Service which in the past had revoked this organizations Tax-Exempt status now today honor that same status they had previously revoked? Was it a result of monetary bribes and threats of legal action?

The Church of Scientology has a host of movie stars and other celebrities who claim membership to this organization which is widely identified as a cult or tax-shelter. Just to name a few of the members such as Tom Cruise, John Travolta and many more.

The Church of Scientology owns a cruise ship which it sends its well off rich members on tax-free cruises around the world.

My photographer Jacklyn who is also an associate editor of this blog attempted to take some photos and speak with the Scientologists yesterday and she was in a rude manner told to go away now by a authoritative Scientologist.

I have been warned by several members of the Anonymous Protest group who regularly and vigorously protests the Church of Scientology that if I were to cover this event in a negative light or one that did not favor the Church of Scientology that I may risk Harassment, Lawsuit and possibly even assault. In fact one of the Anonymous Protester's who goes by the Moniker "BlueHair" was attacked by a Scientologist simply for protesting their "Free Stress Tests".

As of the time of publishing this article the Church of Scientology has not responded to my e-mail or phone calls requesting comment although during yesterday's event I spoke briefly with a Scientologist in a suit who told me he doesn't know "Jack" about what these protesters speak of.

If you would like to find more information on these protesters and their overall efforts checkout some of the websites below. These protesters are in no way limited to San Francisco but in fact the Church of Scientology is regularly protested in 17 different countries on a daily or weekly basis.
