Good work, Ulf.
Be sure you have no "skeletons in the closet" because CoS may hire a private detective to investigate you.
Also, be very careful to use only isolated quotes from their copyrighted texts, or they may sue you. You'd win, of course, but they would have made your life difficult.
Also, concentrate on CoS's criminal aspects: fraud, extortion, labor law violations. Stay away from mocking the Xenu story or auditing, lest they call you a bigot.

Great stuff. Well to me anyway. [ :-)) ] I've found an English-to-American online dictionary. I'm sure it isn't totally comprehensive, but it's a start.

It's interesting to hear that they plan to move away from the Vårby Gård (Stockholm area) treatment center. It has been their main one sinced the 1970s.
Thomas Petterson was featured some months ago in a small article in The Auditor (magazine from the European course center in Copenhagen.) He was training on the Class VI auditor course ("Saint Hill Special Briefing Course" ) which means he is deeply indoctrinated, and has probably done the OT III level. One asks if Narconon (i.e. tax payer money) paid for him to do this course?

Dagens Medicin issue 23, June 3, 2003-06-10 has yet another
debate article on Scn/CCHR. It's a follow-up to a previous
book review and previously published letters from scio Peter Anstrin and CoS PR Gun Lanciai. It's a response by a psychiatrist who was allowed to remainanonymous - an exception from the usual policy of this journal. The chief editor writes that this decision was taken to protect the writer from Scn persecution. He also says that the debate had been closed, but since new responses kept coming in and there seemed to be an interest in the subject, he allowed this letter to be published.
[In the following summary I'm using the pronoun 'he' when referring to the author, only for simplicity's sake - it could just as well be a female author]
The letter is entitled "We psychiatrists see the results of Scientology propaganda", and Anon writes "the individual physician has a hard time fighting back against a global,wealthy propaganda machine like the Scientology cult" He talks about how the cult tries to suppress any voice speaking against them, and that according to their own scriptures any and all means are allowed.
Further he says that "as a psychiatrist, one doesn't need to read many lines of the various Scientology texts before one feels tempted to offer the authors an appointment at the clinic" but that at the same time he feels uncomfortable, since he has close-up experience of people who have unsuccessfully for years tried to break away from this cult.
He says young seekers, mentally disabled persons and drug abusers are among those who risk becoming involved. In his profession, he has encountered various former cult members, and says the mind control imposed on them can be likened to serious rape and can give deep, sometimes lasting psychological damage. Symptoms can be similar to severe post-traumatic stress disorder and take years to heal
There is a quote from "Hubbard's diary from 1967" [? Ibelieve it is actually a quote from the Ron's Journal 67 tape] which talks about the infamous great conspiracy of the twelve bankers who are behind all psychiatric institutions.
There is another quote from an affidavit by Ronald De Wolf (L. Ron Hubbard, Jr) where he claims his father routinely used threats and extortion, and created a religious facade for tax reasons.
Anon says his reason for bothering to write this letter, especially considering the Fair Game doctrine (which is then described), is that if he can stop even one reader from stepping into Scientology, it's worth the effort.
Hej!
Vill bara säga att jag följt dina djärva inlägg i diverse debatter senaste tiden, och att du naturligtvis har rätt! När det gäller den senaste så har jag själv tidigare jobbat tio år inom kriminalvården, främst i Stockholm och i vårt län, och Narconon vet ju varenda sunt vetande människa vad de står för. Härligt med orädda män som vågar ifrågasätta! Fortsätt så.
Med vänlig hälsning

hej Ulf
tittade av en händelse in på din sida och kunde skåda ännu en som retat upp nkmr.vi fam Berger har under 5 år varit en riktig slagpåse från deras sida.vi råkar vara ett av de hemska familjehemmen de på sina sidor skriver om.
om det bara varit på deras sida så ok men de har gått ut i aftonbladet,tv och radio mm de har lämnat ut bild och namn på det placerade barnet. nu fick vi rätt emot tidningen att man inte får göra så här men nu är det ju redan gjort. de ska ju arbeta för mänskliga rättigheter och har inte gjort ett dugg av detta under dessa 5 år.
vi skulle kunna skriva en bok om hur illa vi blivit behandlade av Ruby. hon har varit juridiskt ombud till barnets föräldrar.härligt med någon som vågar säga emot dem.ha en underbar sommar och du ge dem gärna en omgång till.
vänliga hälsningar från Yvonne

This homepage is an absolute must- we have to fight these
leetches of the fur of human excistence. A NOTE: Please Note that Denmark is the stronghold of Scientology in Europe as Danish politicians are affraid of checking into Scientology.
Scientology bought up a lot of property in Copenhagen city in the 80'ies and when things got too hot the moved some operations from Germany to Denmark

Good job, Ulf!
Hello Ulf - greetings from a comrade Psyclo!
From what I know of you country, the Småland area would havebeen the perfect place for Scientology to sink their money into! ... Almost as good as downtown Tehran.

Oh dear, it seems you have quickly elevated yourself to the rank of Major Threat. I hope your patients will not be too upset by having fanatics hovering on their doorstep (isn't it interesting how CoS/CCHR who always claim to look out for the wellfare of psychiatric patients when it comes down to it don't give a damn about how their actions affect said patients [ :( ] )
Take care and good luck.

Ulf. It may be prudent to advise your neighbors and business associates that you may be the target of a smear campaign. Great work.

Exellent site with interesting reading. Keep us updated!
Thanks Ulf.
Glad to see that website up in English for us monolinguists.
It's terrific to you see you doing your bit over there and taking the time to translate or have that information tranlated for us! Psychiatrists, to my knowledge, rarely get into this debate with their harrasers, the cult of scientology. I've heard they can't be bothered, I've heard they did back in the '50s but decided Hubbard was a con-artist crackpot so eventually ignored him.
But I'd like to see more "psychs" getting involved, and publicly, as you are. I think it would raise the public awareness of how seriously harmful, and medically/psychologicaly damaging the "tech," especially as administered by the CoS, can be.
All the best, and keep it up. It's a breath of fresh air.
Ulf.....excellent site. You might want to add how Scientology tried to stop Free Speech right here on ARS. Here's the link: http://www.lermanet.com/cos/toryonosa.htm
You can say it's from an OT 7 who was "in" for 30 years, and worked with their Top Secret Mafia.
All the best
Tory/Magoo!
Hi
Wow, your site is great. Thanks for putting it in English. It will be a great help (with Chris Owen's) to send to politicians, state agencies, employees and psychiatrists in the U.S. where NarCONon is romancing the ignorant.
The world needs more like you.
Best Wishes,
Will
Hej Ulf Brettstam..
Jag har följt händelsen om att Narconon ska flytta till Lättarp här på din sida, och jag undrar om eller om du någonsin besökt Narconon. Vad jag tror mig förstått så är det NN som ska dit, inte Scientologkyrkan.
Jag och min flickvän gjorde programmet på NN 1997 och har sen dess levt ett vanligt liv helt utan droger i någon form. Dessförinnan hade vi varit en följetång i psykiatrin och kriminalvården, när vi nu ser tillbaka på den tiden så var vi minst lika drogade under tiden vi var inne på olika psykiatriska kliniker som vi var när vi var ute på banan.
Det är nog så att allt inte är bra med NN och deras metoder, men så är det även med andra behandlingsformer. Och som avslutning så vill jag bara be dig att besöka ett NN istället för att enbart gå på vad andra tycker.
Mvh. Tobias och Lotta
