Scientology Gag Agreements - A Conspiracy for Silence

The first principle of a free society is an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum. Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965), U.S. Democratic politician. New York Times (19 Jan. 1962).

An Actual GAG Agreement:

Damien Von Markif, in Australia, sent me this GAG AGREEMENT
What is your take on this?
Does this sound like this is a "church" engaged in "charitable activity"
or a Spiritual ponzi game engaged in a conspiracy to intimidate witnesses into silence by extortionate conduct?

Scientology Gag Agreements - A Conspiracy for Silence

It's the super-strict gag order the Church of Scientology doesn't want you to see. Now, we can reveal what the church is willing to do to defend its reputation and keep its secrets in-house.
The full statement from the Church of Scientology:
"This is a breach-of-contract case. As is common with defendants in such cases, Debbie Cook wants to divert attention away from her lack of compliance with the terms she voluntarily agreed to in the contract."
"The Church has asked the court to enforce the plain terms of its contract with the defendants, because the defendants wilfully breached their valid agreements and are likely to do so again.
"The one and only legitimate issue in this case is whether the Baumgartens can take all of the benefits of an agreement, then wilfully disregard the obligations they voluntarily promised to abide by in exchange for the benefits they wanted and received."
Read out Q&A with the Church of Scientology International below:
Q: What was Debbie Cook’s role in the COS?
A: She was a full time staff member of the Sea Organization at the Church of Scientology in Clearwater, Florida.
Q:What is the purpose of asking former members to sign non-disclosure agreements?
A: Non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements are common amongst institutions in countries around the world. It is good and common practice for companies, government offices, charities or religious organizations such as the Church of Scientology, to implement such agreements.
Q:Are all former members asked to sign these agreements?
A: No. These agreements apply in select cases where contracts are appropriate and of benefit to both parties.
Q: Are members who sign an agreement given a copy for their records?
A: Someone who asks for a copy is provided with a copy.
Q: Why does the church seek financial restitution from former members if they breach the orders?
A: The Church complied with all of its promises. We expect other parties to comply with theirs.
Q: How does the church arrive at these figures?
A: It is detailed in the contract and by the evidence.
Q: The Church is suing Cook for breaching her agreement. What does it hope to gain from that?
A: A court finding requiring the defendants to comply with the terms of their agreement as written.

Gerry Armstrong--alt.religion.scientology - Scientology v ...

J. Swift on Tony Ortega's blog lying for dollars - Gerry Talks...

The church of scientology has been gagging people for decades which is why nothing has been done about this menace on society, everyone's been gagged and the con goes on to defraud other people and then gag them.

That's why I love Gerry Armstrong, he signed a gag order under duress but he never stopped talking. Every single scientologist signed these gag orders under duress and I do understand why they don't want to go there again, but in order to bring down a regime that has ruined and squashed so many people, you have to find a way to be stronger than that.

This made me feel so good...
