15. Scientology: The Freewinds
2 years ago
Architect Lawrence Woodcraft talks about his experiences aboard Scientology's flagship, the Freewinds. He was brought on board to renovate sections of the ship and quickly uncovered deadly blue asbestos.

It's been eight years since Lawrence did this interview and wrote an affidavit about asbestos contamination aboard the Freewinds but now someone is finally taking action. The ship has been docked and sealed by Caribbean authorities.

    I for one am totally shocked by this expose. They have known for over 20 years of the hazards of "blue asbestos?"
    The video clearly shows unconscionability on the part of $cientology.
    Knowingly subjecting ones to this type of hazard is illegal and amoral.

    Unbelievable! Exceptional interview! Awesome Camera work..."Ms Thang" aka Our beautifully wonderful Stacy conducted such a professionally educational interview. Special thanks to Wise Beard Man and to Lawrence for speaking out. Now, if we could get the LMT crew back out picketing with us...Just having them show up for 10 minutes would be so inspiring to the Anon group who is now questioning why we are not marching side by side? Perhaps you can mention that to them.

    Thank you for all your dedication and hard work...Btw, Youtube who? ~wink~

    This is kind of weird. The idea of the entire upper eschelon of the Co$ comming down with asbestosis as a literal living karma for there ignorance and greed has a sort of gallows humour to it. But in honesty, Asbestosis is not a death i would wish on anyone. To make it worse, the people who have been most exposed have ofcause been the Centurians in Sea Org, rather than the skin jobs in the upper levels, so what on the surface seem like a fitting end to some rotten people, would in fact disproportionately effect people who are already being abused by the Co$

    Dreadful glee i guess is the right term. This is a story that really should be spread around. It would be great to get it into main stream media.

    M Lawrence woodcraft is absolutely right; I was on the freewinds and I saw it all. God bless you to talk so acurratly and have the courage to do so.
    I have a daughter on that cancer ship, "working" in the SO since she is 14 or so she is 28 now, 14 years in this death trap: I don't even know if she is still alive. nefertiti

    With every cancer death in Scientology (and there have been many) I always think back to Lawrence's interview. I'm glad someone is finally doing something about it.

    Y'all are missing the point entirely! Scientology executives didn't intentionally endanger people because they don't believe asbestos is a hazard. Hubbard was in the Navy, so he knew everything about maritime issues there was to know. He didn't mention blue asbestos, so in the execs' minds, it was not dangerous.
    What's true is true for you, see?

    They wouldn't have risked Tom Cruise's health, and DM would not have hidden out on the Freewinds for much of this year. THEY DON'T THINK IT'S DANGEROUS CUZ RON DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT!

    It's that simple! Blue asbestos simply isn't true for them!

    (whether they believe in it or not, the fact remains that they have been aware of this problem since 1987. Since then, they've exposed government officials, passengers, the hired help, and even their own executives to the possibility of slow, horrible death. I absolutely think they should be held accountable!

    Is there any reason we are not getting updates or support at the pickets by the LMT gang? Or why we cannot get a comment from them occasionally on either site encouraging all who are protesting to keep doing so:? Or Possibly to say "Good job keep it up?" They disappeared once Anon got involved.

    The info on The LMT is out there if you search enough but just go to Marks Wog Blog, everything you really need to know is there in one article Wise Beard Posted.

    $cientology: 56 years of denying reality, lying and abuse. What a track record.

    Dismantle the CULT!
