Talk:Criminon

Series Template
Removing this Series Template. This is not correct usage of Series Templates per the guidelines. They were set up to show the history of countries and were different articles form a sequential series. This is not the case with the Scientology pages, which are random pages on different topics – not a sequence of any kind. Wiki’s definition of a series is: “In a general sense, a series is a related set of things that occur one after the other (in a succession) or are otherwise connected one after the other (in a sequence).” Nuview 02:05, 10 January 2006 (PST)

Scientology's 'Criminon' Does Not ActuallyExist
Back in 1996 there was an investigation in to Scientology's fake "Criminon" front here in Southern California, the details of which were published in the alt.religion.scientology Usenet UUCP forum, and widely covered in a number of newspaper articles, not a single copy of which I can locate now.

If anyone has a copy of that report, I'd love to see it posted here so that it can be worked in to the extant article.

The research found that Scientology's "Criminon" did not actually exist as any kind of organization beyond mere Scientology core criminality. The "Criminon International Headquarters" in Studio City at the time was visited by private investigators prior to a proposed Federal raid on the criminal enterprise as a whole (which did not take place) and every "office" that Scientology listed as a "Criminon office" in the State of California was visited covertly, found to be either a mail box drop, or found to be a non-existent address, or found to be a residence or business office that had nothing to do with the criminal enterprise.

The "International HQ" in Studio City was empty, according to the investigation and the resulting report, only cardboard boxes filled with fraudulent advertising along with a photo copier machine, with rotting food and trash heaped outside of the apartment identified as Scientology's "National HQ."

The owner of the apartment complex which Scientology claimed was their "International HQ" was identified as a known Scientology agent with an extensive history.

Point being, "Criminon" was found to not actually exist in the real world, it was found to be a paper entity, solely the Scientology crime syndicate. Damotclese (talk) 18:12, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
