In the past week following the World Trade Center tragedy, we have heard amazing stories of heroism and acts of selfless courage and generousity. Sadly, it has become necessary to warn people of the small number of hucksters, jackals, and scam artists attempting to profit from this terrible event. Recently, one such scam came to light, perpetrated by the Church of Scientology.
By presenting itself as "National Mental Health Assistance," they managed to deceive Fox News into running their number across the screen on their broadcasts for five hours. People calling for help wound up speaking to representatives for Scientology, a group well-known for opposing the real mental health industry.
Intercepted emails from Scientologists in New York City are revealing, it shows that this group is intentionally using deceit to gain access to the vulnerable people still suffering from shock and grief. Moreover, it has deliberately interfered with legitimate mental health practitioners sent there to assist. Below are a few excerpts from these emails, sent out to Scientologists to promote this parasitic behavior by "Lt." Simon Hare, CO, I HELP Canada (in NY). (Note: the "Lieutenant" designates a rank in the Sea Org, not to be confused with actual military rank)
You can read the rest of it here.

I remember being continuously accosted by these @ssholes in San Francisco. Believe me when I tell you, these people are brainwashed!

Just when I thought these dregs of society have stooped has far as they could, they out do themselves... Using 911 as a way of recruiting into their cult tops even those pols who use it to raise campaign money.
Quoted from Scientology email:
The fire-fighter company down the street from the org lost 14 members on Tuesday. No one can do anything for them or the rest but Scientologists. The other religions here with their ministers have shown their true colors and are working hand in hand with the psychs to give these people as much false data and restimulation as they can. They HAVE NO TECH and they're not even trying to hide it anymore. They've crossed over and abandoned anything spiritual and to hell with them.
No, sir: To hell with you.

Yesssssssss! Same thing with me when I was living in LA. The "church" there (on Hollywood Blvd.!!!!!!!Hahahahahahahahaha) was notorious for placing a few "disciples" out front (right on the sidewalk!!!!!) who tried to entice any-and-all passerby's and tourists inside.

Just when I think I couldn't be more angry, BAM, along comes a story like this to "kick it up a notch."

If anybody comes up to you on the street and offers to give you a free personality test, RUN, don't walk, away. That's how they get you inside for the hard sell.

"the real mental health industry" now this is a real joke. At every criminal trial you can find one mental health expert for the defense and one for the prosecution and you would be hard put to know that they were both talking about the same person. Who exactly is ruining the lives of children when cps does its evil work? How come there are so many self help phonies like Robbins around? Who in the school systems is banishing prayer but pushing homsexual agendas, planned parentHOOD, and sex education? Why can't Johnny read, write, and think? Maybe it's becasue the mental health industry works the school systems.

I was supposed to do a business deal (audio publishing) with CoS some years ago, and had the deal put on hold because my business contact, and I'm not kidding about this, "had to go to Europe for six months for reindoctrination." These people are very scary.

Greta Van Susteren is indeed a Scientologist, along with her husband, also a lawyer. Apparently they regularly visit Clearwater Florida, where Scientology has its headquarters.

Unfortunately, the "real" mental health industry is alost as phoney as Scientology. Industry, at least, is a good characterization.
