Anonycat piqued my interest in the activities of Freezoner Helen Chen in Taiwan. I'll repost some items from the original thread, but I am curious about her and her husband, Helmut Flasch. I'm starting this thread as a repository.
Anonycat said:What's a dead baby to a matchmaker?
The problem with Scientology: Helen Chen is a rather well known person in Taiwan as she appears on TV in several occasions to promote her books or her Heart Bridge Consultancy - a life coach and mainly match making company. She even got onto Chinese TV programs. She didn't mention that she has a Helen Chen Academy in LA that offers full Scientology services.
What did she do? She started a nursery for staff on 7th floor, 1 or 2 staff watching 12 babies while the minimum is 1:5. Staff have absolutely no qualifications as they are the parents taking turn on duty. It is not registered. What made it totally illegal is that she charges about US$700 a month for nursery fees.
Each baby has about 3 sq metres of space. It is above minimum BUT that baby did not go home with parent after work. The baby lives there since 6 month old, until he died at one year old. The parents were told that he had flu symptoms three days ago. The father claimed that he WAS about going to take him to see a doctor. The staff on duty in the morning found that the baby was dead.
Helen Chen was the match maker of the parents.

AC, that link on the news aggregator site is dead, but with her actual Chinese name from the Youtube Channel, I was able to track the original article down here.
TWG, the date on the article is February 19, 2013, the incident took place the day before.
Here is an article about her matchmaking service. Very SO-like. She disapproves of pre-marital relations, and if the marriage is set up like a businesss with the same goals, it will be successful. That article, BTW, is in the Epoch Times, which was founded by four members of another batshit crazy UFO cult, Falun Dafa (Falun Gong).
[Edit: Here is her blog. And here is the interesting thing: that blog is written in Mainland simplified characters, hosted on a Mainland site. Most Taiwanese, be they Taiwanese Greens or Nationalists from other provinces, do not use that script. She has deep ties in the Mainland, and seems to operate there as much as in Taiwan. I can't tell for sure, but she may be specializing in finding matches for Mainlanders with Taiwanese and ABCs. THAT is a sordid business. ].
Helen Chen's Facebook Page.
And her organization's Facebook Page.
Interestingly enough, she uses the Traditional Characters for her name on the Taiwan facing pages, with no links to the .cn sites where she uses the Simplified Characters. Most ROC people I know who do business in China use the Traditional form of their names even on the Mainland, it's a Confucian thing about honoring their parent's choice of name.
Oooh, doesn't this look like a Co$ picture?
And here we go! Clears and OTs!
Goddamn, the tech is a fucking virus. Kill it!
Interesting find. We found an anti-Co$ blog from Taiwan earlier this year that seemed to be defunct. I ran across it just now - seems to have moved, and the English site has not been updated since February, but the Chinese site is regularly updated. And I found some commentary on Helen Chen's squirrel SO nursery story interspersed in a reprint of the article AC posted. Here is the snipped commentary and my translations (better translations are welcomed):
And here's the video of the arrest. Doing the walk of shame with the hoods down.

OK, question to you California peeps.
Is the Helen Chen Academy in LA still in business? The links to their former website are dead. It looks like Helen is now based in Taiwan and spending a considerable amount of time on the Mainland. Did she run out of fresh meat in LA, or get run out by DM? Allegedly they were outperforming AOLA two years ago, and then BAM! Implosion and silence? Inquiring minds want to know what's up with that.
How did Helen get into the Co$ in the first place?
Helmut is selling a load of shit disguised as business consulting. Allegedly she's helping in those efforts in Taiwan, but she's got at least 4 other irons in the fire there, plus making the circuit of the Taiwanese talk shows. What's the dope on Helmut, and where did he meet Helen? Did she bring family money into his ventures?
Funny, Helen advertises her marriage to an "entrepreneur" in her matchmaking enterprises, but never mentions he's Caucasian, because that business is all about perpetuating the traditional Chinese family.
Another question - were she and Helmut whales or mini-whales, or did their money making come by siphoning off some from the top of the cult's revenue? Their PR makes them look big time, but when you get into it, there is just empty words.
Indies acting like the Co$ is a special hot button of mine. Add the Taiwanese connection and the death of that kid and she's earned a special place on my shit list, but I know some of you have interacted with her.
Spill it, peeps.
