Re: FAIR GAMED: Are YOU being "fair gamed" right now? Please post here if you think
Tejoj, I understand what you are saying. Here's my take on the matter.
First, I want you to know that on the scale of targets, I am on the low end for OSA. They had years to find me and didn't. 99% of the damages I have caused them are done. The work of critics against Narconon has snowballed into something so big now that the damage is already done.
Some Narconon critics were hit harder with the harassment than others. Some have more to lose or a different need for privacy or safety planning than others in publicly speaking about what has or is being done to them by the cult for speaking up. As well, speaking out publicly about being harassed requires planning to avoid letting OSA know they have been effective. Most critic being harassed remain under the radar on the matter .
That said, most people will not be fair gamed with PIs and such. Most scientologists lurking or planning their exit have to worry about friends and family and Scientology handlers watching what they are doing and reporting things. Same goes for critics who post anonymously here and elsewhere. Protecting anonymity is very important. So you are not going to read many posts by people announcing they are being followed by PIs, having employers or family bothered. It would effect their anonymity. Better to say nothing, not let the cult know you are being effected.
Now, I have not posted publicly about my situation before, despite being targeted for over a year now. Last night I posted what happened to me to give some insight to the readers but mainly to take advantage of a respite period they must adhere to. I decided to take advantage of the thread purpose to push OSA and Narconon's 'buttons" and help promote Narconon Reviews and Reaching For The Tipping Point Forum on the internet because that is what they do not want happening anymore. The internet is killing them.
It's my message to them that I'm still around, I'm still standing up, I am not cowering from their tactics. They know I am protected right now and cannot do anything to bother me or risk serious legal consequences. You can't mess with witnesses.
It's no badge of honor and anyone who has been a target at any level will agree. From the scientologist who got reported for mentioning that he saw a TV commercial that mentioned Scientology in a bad light, to people like Marty, Ron Miscavige Jr and Sr., and others at the top of OSA's list, each has to decide how to go about dealing with the oppression. Most will not speak out on currently being Fair Gamed. Why give OSA a clue as to how effective or not their work is? So, understand that some things are happening that are just not appropriate for public comment but the more serious matters are being reported publicly and they should be sufficient along with posts of past Fair Gaming that has since ceased.
I can say that Scientology is desperate now, especially Narconon. Their resources are being drained by bad publicity, tremendous attorney fees and settlement checks so as to avoid trials that result in huge damage awards. Anyone speaking out and exposing Scientology in a big way and not doing it anonymously has experienced harassment in one degree or another. Most have posted about it when it began but don't bother to give OSA credit by letting on that continued harassment is hurting them. It's a price one pays and it's tolerated enough to carry on. Some are not even bothered by OSA any more.
I hope this explains things from my POV
The fair game you experienced may be minor to you Mary, but if you take all of those little niggling examples and multiply them across all exes...this is an untold story.
I hope people don't think coming out with these stories will be taken as some kind of inappropriate, 'badge-of-honour' bragging...I am really interested in understanding what is happening in these under-reported instances.
Creepy cult is creepy
