A Deep Dive Into Scientology Jargon

Dead agent is a verb in Scientology. It is an action as opposed to a thing. The thing related to a dead agent is the dead agent packet. Because I was in the Guardian’s Office, I was intimately aware of the act of dead agenting someone. This kept me quiet for way too many years because of the fear it would happen to me.

How does it work and what makes it so scary? First off, Scientology does not play by the rules. If you wrong them, they will take you out. They will do this any way possible. The truth has nothing to do with the facts in the game they play. Their entire goal is to truly and utterly ruin you.

They do that by creating a packet of information. And where do they get this information? They pay for it. They hack your phone records. They use the D-Line. The what? The dumpster line. Yes, they pay people to take your trash from the curb and go through it. They hire PIs to stalk you.

Once they get the info, they distribute it to various people, like employers, friends, bankers. It itemizes every bad thing you have ever done in your life. It will mix some truths with some egregious falsehoods. This policy was put into effect by Hubbard in the mid 1960s. It has not changed. They want to destroy you utterly.

Current whistleblowers have hate websites against them by Scientology. Gerry Armstrong has been harassed since 1980. He wrote a biography of Hubbard based on personal papers of his that they found unflattering.

Leah Remini is suing Scientology for what they are doing to her. The Jane Does who went against Masterson are still being harassed by Scientology a year after his sentence. They, too are suing, and Scientology is paying high priced lawyers to block their suit at every turn.

But there is so much more. There are hate websites against anyone who even dares blog about Scientology. They are so ubiquitous. Bloggers now consider it a badge of honor to have one against them.

The thing is Scientology has tax exempt status. They are using tax exempt dollars to pay people to dig through garbage, spy on people, harass people, delay lawsuits. They are a mob hiding behind the cloak of religion. It’s time for this to stop. I’m no longer scared.
