Swing community to stop collaborating with Scientology front groups

Swing community to stop collaborating with Scientology front groups

The Issue

The Jive Aces are a known Scientology front group.

The Jive Aces are Sea Org members, based in the Sea Org compound at Saint Hill Manor. Since Sea Org members are to work for Scientology, everything the Jive Aces do will be to benefit Scientology.

The benefits are:

1) It is highly likely the profits from their work will go into Scientology coffers (Normal, non-celebrity Sea Org members subsist on very minor wages of $50 for 110 hour work week).

2) The work of the Jive Aces means that they have big audiences and opportunities with which they can promote Scientology and Scientology front groups, such as The Truth About Drugs -  a group that aims to funnel vulnerable people into Scientology ‘rehab centres’ where the treatment given is not one medically recommended and which has also resulted in deaths. The Jive Aces have done exactly this on numerous occasions.

3) Safepointing - “safe-pointing” is the creation of a positive public image of Scientology in a community that allows it to grow and thrive.” The Jive Aces can be used to provide legitimacy to Scientology, particularly in areas where Scientology is planning to expand. The Jive Aces can also be used to infiltrate local communities to create the impression of Scientology as something safe and benign or with which to get public figures and influential organisations on their side. Many Jive Aces events that are listed as swing or music events are actually held at Scientology sites. Scientology has also used the Jive Aces when trying to infiltrate and influence London police. By collaborating with them, swing communities are safe-pointing The Jive Aces and Scientology in the community and thus providing an air of legitimacy to the group and their activities.

Also of concern, is that one member neglected and abused their child by making their 7-year-old daughter sign up the Sea Org. The Sea Org is a lifetime organisation in which members are expected to devote their life and future lives to Scientology. Child members (called Cadets) have their education neglected, are brainwashed from an early age and are expected to work. The Sea Org is often hard or nearly impossible to leave and members are often sent to the Rehabilitation Project Force -  which basically acts as a gulag. Those in the RPF are forced to do manual labour and get very little food (normal Sea Org members get very little food so the RPF will be even worse.)

The Jive Aces are happy to receive gifts from people who are known to torture and imprison people. The head of Scientology, David Miscavige is known to have built a space on one of the American bases in which to imprison top management who have fallen out of favour. His wife has also not been seen since around 2006/2007. It is assumed she has been imprisoned. The Jive Aces received a significant gift of a special collector’s ukelele from David Miscavige In 2018. It is supposedly a Scientology belief that "anytime a person receives something, he must pay something back". What is it that The Jive Aces are giving to David Miscavige? And what are we giving David Miscavige if we collaborate with them?

The Jive Aces are welcome to believe what they like, but when it comes to this band there is no separation between the band and the organisation they belong to. You are not hiring a swing band, you’re hiring Scientology - a group that imprisons, tortures, enslaves and kills.

If you have no wish for the swing community to be support Scientology and its human rights abuses, please sign this petition.
