It works more often than you would think unfortunately. Though it has become increasingly more difficult for them to hoodwink people due to the enormous amount of information now available on the internet.

Glad you spotted it.

Ever heard of The Albigensian Crusade? That’s what happens when people are declared to not have rights.

“If attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone or anything or any organization, always find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause them to sue for peace.”

L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 15 August 1960, Dept. of Govt. Affairs

“The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather than to win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway, well knowing that he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease. If possible, of course, ruin him utterly.”

L. Ron Hubbard, A MANUAL ON THE DISSEMINATION OF MATERIAL, 1955

“A truly Suppressive Person or group has no rights of any kind and actions taken against them are not punishable.”

L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 1 March 1965, HCO (Division 1) “Ethics, Suppressive Acts, Suppression of Scientology and Scientologists

“When you move off a point of power, pay all your obligations on the nail, empower all your friends completely and move off with your pockets full of artillery, potential blackmail on every erstwhile rival, unlimited funds in your private account and the addresses of experienced assassins and go live in Bulgravia [sic] and bribe the police.”

L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 12 February 1967, “The Responsibilities of Leaders”

“In any event, any person from 2.0 down on the Tone Scale should not have, in any thinking society, any civil rights of any kind, because by abusing those rights he brings into being arduous and strenuous laws which are oppressive to those who need no such restraints.”

L. Ron Hubbard, SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL, 1989 Ed., p. 145 [The “Tone Scale” is Scientology’s measure of mental and spiritual health.]

Note the dates, especially those who continue to insist that “Ron” was a great guy and that Miss Savage shat on his spiritual legacy; Flubbard was a greedy, sociopathic asshole. COB has merely continued the grift whilst bitch-slapping and gargling with Macallan…

No human rights to see here, move along!

AND SO ON AND SO FORTH…

Scientology’s “human rights” campaign is similar to that of the old Soviet Union, cynically intended to co-opt and disarm a world of those seen as dupes or adversaries, and provide cover for their own widespread abuses while they try to underhandedly maneuver to secure enough power to be able to execute their real agenda. Like with other brutal and fascist totalitarian regimes, there’s really no collaborating with them, they only seek to exploit and gain the upper hand.
