The Church of Scientology claims that its OT levels are trade secrets. How can this be? How can Scientology, which calls itself a religion, claim that its religious secrets are also trade secrets? Businesses have trade secrets; religions do not. Nevertheless, the OT levels are copyrighted and therefore Scientology uses copyrights to argue that its “advanced materials” are trade secrets. This is all very evasive of course. Two things to know: 1. The OT levels make Scientology a great deal of money. So the OT levels are all about money. That is why Scientology claims the OT levels are a trade secret. 2. If people knew the Xenu/body thetans story in advance they would likely not choose to become Scientologists. After all, who would pay Scientology hundreds of thousands of dollars for the privilege of auditing their body thetans for 10-20 years while being subject to harsh ethics and constant demands to donate more and more money Scientology building funds, legal defense funds, and PR projects? The Church of Scientology is actually a business that masquerades as a religion. In order to protect its business interests, the Church created a Mafia-like psycho-terrorist enforcement organization called the Office of Special Affairs (OSA). At present, OSA is using tax-exempt dollars to attack Leah Remini and everyone connected with her show. These attacks are defamatory, slanderous, and false. This is how a Mafia, a criminal cartel, behaves. For this reason, the IRS must act to open an investigation into Scientology’s ill-gotten 1993 tax exemption. Please sign and share our petition in which we ask the IRS Commissioner to open an investigation. ***** It has been brought to my attention that some sites do not allow click throughs to Change.org petitions and treat links to Change.org as spam. I am told this happens as Change.org does not pay for click throughs.
