Along with those celebrities is the other category of major enablers who remain conspicuously silent in the face of the abuses; the financial supporters, especially the &#8220;Whales.&#8221; Here is a list of the biggest supporters of the IAS Not by any means complete and it excludes anyone who [&#8230;]]]></description>

The IAS has sucked in hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past based on Freedom Medal winners who &#8220;brought LRH tech to the government of Ukraine and thus brought sanity to an entire [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This guy, like so many other IAS Freedom Medal winners, got awarded for accomplishments in “disseminating scientology” &#8211; and promptly stopped those activities and started being a fundraiser for the IAS. There are literally dozens of Freedom Medal winners who promptly vanished from the scene, most of whom only appear to raise money for the [&#8230;]]]></description>

The sheeple filed in, subjected themselves to 3 hours of loud noises, flashing symbols and lies about their accomplishments, dutifully stood and cheered, whistled and applauded at all the appropriate times, then filed out again, re-dedicated to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Guardian ran a piece about the UK protest at St Hill coinciding with the IAS event. This was also picked up by Newsweek. &#160; This is clearly not good news for the COB and scientology. The piece not only talks about the protest but brings up the lawsuits Miscavige is named in as well [&#8230;]]]></description>

You might remember Brian Andrus, he is the unindicted co-conspirator who was recently involved in scientology&#8217;s latest land grab scheme in Clearwater.

But that is no longer an issue, the world has basically returned to normal. Yet no event. This is the BIG event each year for money-making [&#8230;]]]></description>
