TRhe Clearwater Police department should be under FEDERAL INVESTIGATION and prosecuted if necessary for showing clear bias. The POLICE who participate in this should be thrown in jail.
Did you see the 60 minute Australian documentary where they showed that the Clearwater Police Department vehicles were stalking journalists on behalf of Scientology. When I saw that episode air I paused the video and called the Clearwater Police Department to report the vehicle ever since then I have been unable to find the vehicle and I feel like they took the video down because I reported it to the Clearwater Police Department which is corrupted
Scientology is connected to the Federal government. Getting a human rights lawyer to fight this organization connected to our government is the best course of action.
This is one of the best videos on RU-vid today. These people are so sinister it's unbelievable. As a judge in Britain once said " . . sinister, evil and corrupt."
seems like you need to change the rules of, "No off duty work will be allowed". If the cops want to work for scientology...let them...but they wont work for the city...period
I'm from St. Pete myself, and I made it a point to never venture into Clearwater due to scientology being so prevalent there. I'm ashamed of the Clearwater P.D. for basically doing as little as possible, if not actively covering up crimes of scientologists, one coming to mind was a supposed suicide of the son of a member of the church in Clearwater. the son was clinically depressed and was prescribed antidepressants and the church told the father to convert him to scientology in order to cure his depression and to get rid of his meds that a psychiatrist prescribed because all drugs are bad and all psychiatrists are evil, which the father did by hiding his meds in the trunk of his car. The cops found the hidden prescription after investigating the "suicide," of the son, who was found shot in the father's apartment, and before calling 911, the dad called a church representative first. Then when questioning the dad, cops allowed her to be present and take an active role in the questioning. they claimed that they couldn't find the through and through bullet in the small apartment, they didn't do a gun power residue test on the son, they didn't hold the father responsible for stealing and hiding his son's medication when he was ordered by the church to do so prior to the son's death, they were very incorporative with the mother (not a member of the church) when she was inquiring on her son's suicide case and was asking if certain tests were performed, such as the gun residue test, because she didn't believe it was an open and shut case of suicide, and the police were giving her the run around and refusing to answer legitimate questions from a grieving mother who had every right to inquire about the suicide of her son, and despite the delayed call to 911 by the father, who opted to call a P.R. member of the church first and after having hid his son's antidepressants in the trunk of his car prior to his suicide, leaving his son's depression to go into over drive from being abruptly cut off from the meds he had been taking to control his depression, which was most likely the key factor that led him to take his own life, if in fact it was a clear cut suicide, the police didn't investigate further, closing the case as soon as possible and had basically shut down any and all inquiries made by the mother. The police station is a stone's throw away from Flag base, a.k.a. the main headquarters for the church of scientology, and the church is constantly doing fundraisers and donating to the P.D. and city of Clearwater, which in turn gets the church favors, if you will, from police and the city. And that suicide case is but one of many and it's appalling. I'm glad I moved out of Pinellas county, far away from the mecca of scientology and the corrupt city in which it resides.
Have you seen the South Park Scientology Episode? It exposes Scientology completely and dealt a death blow by proving that it is founded on the belief in parasitic aliens who fly old 1960 DC-8 planes and are ruled by the demon Galactic Emperor Xenu, Hubbard himself is inadvertantly narrating. HA HA HA!
South Park just seemed to touch on the one Zenu story, some e-meter stuff, and Stan being L Ron reincarnate. South Park never said anything about all the abuse of critics, the corruption of police and legal system, the prison camp, murders, spying and tracking people, and many more ridiculous seeming things, than a space ship story.
Tom cruise is there in Florida right now using children as slaves to remodel his penthouse as long as these hollywood elites are there it's like Tom Cruise John Travolta Kirstie Alley Catherine Bell the abuse is going to continue. Don't you know that these hollywood elites believe that they are better than everyone else ?
@@ninamartinez2239 When you say "hollywood elites" I immediately think you're one of the whacko Q-Anons that think there is mass satanic rituals being performed and shit. I DO agree with what you said here, 100% but just telling you that that phrase has kind of been co-opted by the American Taliban aka Y'all-Qaeda. In closing, Fuck Scientology. :)
+Joel Graham i looked this up and discovered this as well. it's so ironic that he spends his life as loyal attack dog and then is simply ignored when he is old and sick and can no longer attack.
Thank you for this video. I had no idea these things were happening. It is shocking that government organizations could become so corrupted and controlled. I wish there was something I could do.
Never been involved with Scientology (thankfully) but have a lot of respect for people like Mark Bunker and others who shine a light on corruption in organizations such as this. Unbelievable that this criminal cult is allowed to flourish in our country.
You (WBM) were on (as far as I can see) a Pubic Street and Public Sidewalk. Here in LA, the police told me, when Scientologists tried the same trick ("You cannot film me w/ out my authorization")----That IF someone is in a PUBLIC area, anyone can film them. Check CW to see if the laws are any different: I doubt it. Good video!
Mr Mark Bunker you have to do a Documentary. Yes others had done it, & done it well but you have been fighting the abuse of Scientology for years, you experienced alot first hand & you have so much footage to prove it & you are so well spoken. The Wise Beard it man fits you! It would be something that no one can Ignore & people would be not just talking about it but demanding something be done. I want to say thank you for your hard work.
Great job, Mike. You are a brave man who has all my respect, to be sure. Very impressive to see how long you have dedicated yourself to this task. Not only our culture, our country, but cultures everywhere need more brave men like you.
Absolutely outrageous that this police force is not under investigation. Is it still happening in 2013?This video is a superb example of Scientology's true brutal nature. Mark , I applaud your work and dedication in keeping the world informed. The internet and their fascist tactics will eventually bring this cult down.
Dear Mark, any change you can upload the whole interview with Ray Emmons? I've been totally fascinated by him since he came to my attention. i have the deepest respect for you, how you handle yourself and keep calm while the most vindictive "church" in the world tries to get at you, you are a hero too many.
Nice job here, Mark... I am surprised it hasn't gotten more media play, especially in the current media environment... I don't know where you are with Knowledge Report at this point (tearing hair out? :-/ ), I remember you raising post prod funds while back.. ant help there, but drop me a line, would you? This was pretty damning, clear and effective. Nice job. It is sickening what happened to the LMPT... and what happened to her of course...
I thought Scientology was supposed to change the world., make it a better place. Love their disrespectful language and confrontational demeanor. Looks like they are part of the problem of hate. They should take lessons from the Amish who really do ignore people bothering them and just walk away.
i now have lived in Clearwater for 6 months... i drive by Flag building/Ft. Harrison hotel multiple times daily...there is almost always a uniformed Clearwater police officer (not moonlighting-active duty) who has his/her cruiser parked in front of Flag, & the officer is standing at the front door to the hotel, 9/10 times they are standing there shooting the shit w/ scientologists...is this to curtail protesters?...is it to protect protesters from scientologists' physical backlash? what are these officers standing guard for? our tax dollars are spent protecting scientologists/& their properties (when nothing "criminal" is necessarily happening)? there must be a valid reason they are posted there, right???please some1 tell me what that valid reason is... cuz i can't figure it out...
This is why I avoid Clearwater like the Plague. It's a shame too because as a lifelong Floridian we used to love to go to Clearwater and enjoy the beautiful town and beaches there. But If the Clearwater Police want to take the side of Criminals then I guess they don't want anyone else to visit their town. I will be glad to oblige them and take my tourist dollars elsewhere.
Have you all tried to speak with the police oversight commission for the State of Florida? Departments have been decertified for crap like selective law enforcement
Take a look at Scientology's "Fair Game" policy: Founder of Scientology, Ron Hubbard wrote that church enemies can ''be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.''
I just stumbled upon your channel after watching Aaron's channel interview with you. I had NO idea about the vigilance and the amount of time you have invested in the betterment of Clearwater. I enjoy watching the council meetings and find them and your channel most informative.
Hire the local PD for off duty security and pay well. Over time, the individual police become accustomed to that legal extra cash and adjust their personal budgets accordingly. Eventually the police, individually and collectively come to regard you as a benefactor to be protected. This is how an entire police department can be co-opted by a well-funded organization.
this sounds like an awesome place to raise a family. such a good wholesome community with a great police department. ill truly get to find out what it was like to be a normal citizen in germany when adolph was around.
Hi Mark keep up the good work. Is there any advice you could give us to picket scientology over here in the uk. My family watches your videos and think your doing good work and that this cult has no place in the uk.
im From Tarpon and i love clearwater in everyway, except for scientology. I dont have a problem with their beliefs but i have a problem with the way they treat people and charge hundreds and thousands of dollars to get all the way to the top.
Damn, Mr. Bunker, you are a better man than I. I would not have the courage to allow these clowns to "confront" me "peacefully" (according to the Police Department's definition of what "peaceful confrontation"). I am very sure that I simply would not have the courage to remain sufficiently "peaceful" with people like the guy who stuck his face "into" your camera. Literally "into" your camera!
Wow, this is fricken' creepy. These creepers really are the new mafia. Was one of the things they do "killing people's animals"? I thought I heard that. That's horrible.
Sickening to watch really. We are all here on this one world together. And it amazes me to see people acting this way toward each other. And what's even worse is that these people are fellow countrymen and women and live in the same town no less. There are so many things I could write here right now, but, I will put it simply by asking... Do we really have nothing better to do? Take care everyone.
I have a very serious question, I spent two days reading and watching a bunch of videos...How can Scientology be considered a religion? At most it's a really bad self help group...any 12 step organization would help more with folks who have drugs, sex, alcohol issues - an AA meeting cost a buck, AA has helped me be a much better man, now I help others, it wasn't just about Alcohol, the booze was a mask for deeper issues..Scientology charges thousands... - on and on. PLEASE, someone give me a reason how it's a religion?
Please engage brain before typing. Where do you think religion comes from there Cali? The one, true, and only God? And how did he disseminate this religion to the Christians, Jews, and Muslims- burning bushes, golden tablets, whatever. No doubt he told them all, " Ok, you guys got the real deal, the others not so much". Religion has always been man's invention. What better way to enforce compliance then to claim "God did it". LRH discovered principals of a spiritual nature so it has as much right as any other philosophy to use the word religion.
"Cali ?" I'm from Pittsburgh... Most religions have a central theme, someone or something to worship, seems with Scientology (as in it's name) it's more based on getting your mind together, buying self help books and getting audited. I read that these guys at Scientology spent millions in bribes and blackmail to get this "Organization" tax exempt status as a Religion. In other countries they have been shot down to be considered a religion, which truly makes sense to me. Hubbard himself stated early on that a great why to makes lots of money was to start a religion. I agree with much of what you stated but feel that this Business that is hidden behind a religious cloak / status has caused much more harm than good. You leave them and they make your life miserable, the Catholic religion doesn't try to ruin you when you leave. Also, who holds David Miscovic accountable? From the reports and stories I've read - it you disagree with this little punk your off to bad person camp...sorry, religion...not so much !!!
I rarely ever censor anyone. Usually it's just because of threats of violence against Scientologists. However, it seems Andy has been going overboard. I've banned him for now. If people have a problem with this, let me know.
I live in Clearwater and it's everywhere downtown. Almost every building. Even miles away in the suburbs they have full apartment complexes and neighborhoods. They have tons of busses that drive back and forth all day and night. On my son's life, my brother and I drove by the main building downtown Clearwater and there was a guy in a full suit on a ladder trimming a tree. Never seen them hurt anyone and they are super friendly but definitely strange. And you can look it up but they have their own tv channel on local cable.
Scientology is basic. The belief of aliens and worship aliens. Science Fiction writer creates religion. Can you imagine the massive following if Stephen King created a Horror Religion? lol They would use your screams to determine if your sick or not instead of metal rod.
Clearwater Florida is a cesspool of corruption the governor of Florida needs to bring down the state police, the states attorney general, and state investigators down in Clearwater to clean up the corruption....The governor has the power to fire police, police chiefs and other city officials......

I like to imagine, at around 15:34, ramming into him as hard as I can, sending him backwards down the stairs. Every single time. I guess I'll know I no longer have any anger issues what I can watch this without feeling like that.
Wow! Note to self: when vacationing in Florida stay ``Clear`` of Clearwater especially because the police have been payrolled by the Scientologists and you are not safe or protected :( reminds me of the movies Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
I never knew there organization encouraged there members to act like that, very informative, sometimes you have to see it to believe it. This was enlightening, thanks for posting
It seems that if people should leave Clearwater, there would be nothing. If no people are there, there would be nothing, stay out of Clearwater, Florida.
Video recordings, are for the most part legal, with or without consent from the recorded party as long as you aren't invading their privacy. Recording audio is a bit more complicated. When it comes to law enforcement, it is your right to record to them. You just can't wiretap them without consent. Now the guy who hit them with a hammer committed assault with a deadly weapon. That is a felony. Even him damaging their equipment is illegal.
FYI - Dennis Clark, contemptible excuse for a human being that he is, suffered a major stroke in 2009. He was obviously mental before that. A wild guess on my part, but steroids, perhaps? According to Rathbun he had been living on the streets panhandling for food. I should be a better person. Sorry but I'm glad he suffered. Scientology, of course, promptly forgot about him. At any rate, those, like me, who are furious at what they see, can take heart in his fate.
This is the most shocking evidence I've seen against Scientology yet. Conflict of interest doesn't even come close; this is corruption. Someone should shut down Clearwater Police and clean it out. Those Police Officers should be behind bars: whatever happened to "To Protect and To Serve"?
Just thought Scientology was a big cult until my brother showed me the HBO documentary " going clear ". I think you have to have and HBO account to see it but it's very good and pretty disturbing.
The Florida state police and attorney general's office needs to know about this. They need to take over the police and local district attorney and fire everyone who is a member or employee of Scientology.
I would like to know why the FBI has not investigated the Clearwater Police Department for civil rights violations. This is completely outrageous in a free country. It's time for the federal government to step in and put a stop this.
It is sad that the integrity of the Clearwater PD seems to have been compromised by the CoS. Thank goodness for the Lisa McPherson Trust and those who are keeping the PD honest.
This is exactly, how it works in GERMANY too. The employees of the US comany CONSTELLIS in some nice "Police Uniforms" participate in criminal actions, such as child trafficking and putting the parents into "psychiatric hospitals". It is also the same in Switzerland, in Austria, in UK and mostly all over the world.
I took a class under a very experienced attorney in Florida, and he said that while it IS illegal to solely record audio without consent, it's NOT illegal if that audio is part of a video recording. It's weird, but Florida statutes allow video cameras to capture video and audio without permission, but they don't allow someone to use an "audio-only recording device" without permission. This, of course, only applies to Florida (where Clearwater is).
I don't live particularly far from Clearwater, and I'm completely disgusted by this. This behaviour by a police force is despicable, and any self-respecting mayor would have their badges ripped for abusing their status as a civil servant.
"I think the police have a biased against us" - ya think? The state government needs to investigate this and suspend all of those rent-a-cops. They're a disgrace to law enforcement.
