Uhmm.. It was the second recording that 'ticked' me off.
The posting of the first recording made quite an impact. It's really gross.. But statute of limitations makes it a moot 'legal' piece of evidence. Hence the (percieved) purpose would have been to inform the public.. Or as a bullet in the PR war.
Then comes the second recording. That recording is without value if the first one was a PR bullet. The second recording 'deflates' the first. It actually 'explains' that Marco did a lot of bad stuff and sort of deserved his paddling.
WTF!?
Now, I can't expect YouTube user 'Anonmace' to think like I do. He might have posted the second recording without thinking about it's PR impact.
And I certainly won't label Anonmace an OSA plant. Such a 'suspicion' can only be a mental exerzise at this point.
However.. There are several things that 'bothers' me in what he says in the comments at YouTube.
He mentions that 2 other scientologists knew about this tape... Well, I don't think so. If they were scientologists, they'd believe they couldn't withhold the information. So that would have 'come up' in some session or sec-check, after which OSA would have let hell lose to collect the tape.
The 2 scientologists could not have been scientologists. Well, maybe they left the cult...
And Anonmace states in the YouTube comments that he never posted on ExScnKids.. So he's not the same guy as 'Ronbot' on that board... Maybe he isn't.. But Ronbot, on ExScnKids, certainly gives the impression that he was in posession of the tape.
Ok, there could be reasons that he prefers to not be 'double nick fagged'... He's clearly very afraid of Scn, judging by his other comments.
However, if OSA is manufacturing this, alluding to the possibility that scientology might kill aligns with the gangster pose that Hubbard and OSA likes to employ to appear dangerous and deadly. To quote Hubbard: "There are men dead because they opposed us!"
Well, this is at best inconclusive. Still nags me why the second recording was uploaded when it obviously detracts from the impact of the first.
Another thing that surprizes me ever so slightly, is that noone has come forward recognizing (or not) Wally's voice. My guess is that there are many ex'es out there who have been at Mace Kingsleys. But after these couple of days there are still no confirmation on the voice. The second recording has more of the voice, so that should be possible.
Ok, even OSA aren't crazy enough to post the first recording. It is VERY damning!
So why would they do it?
What if the recording was part of the evidence in an upcoming lawsuit? - Ie: OSA know that the recording WILL be made public when the case starts.
As I recall.. There IS a lawsuit under discreet preparation. Girls that were sexually abused and molested in Scientology. Not specifically at Mace Kingsleys, but Wally Hanks is most certainly part of the 'dramatis personae'... About a year ago, here on this board, there was a rally to get that started.
In this scenario, OSA might see an advantage in posting these recordings. To make them inadmissible as evidence. Create a lot of obfuscation and doubts about their authencity.
Hmm.. At a certain point in peparing a lawsuit, CoS has a right to see the evidence brought against them. So that could be how they acquired the recording. - If this has happened before they were presented with the evidence, we can conclude they've infiltrated the group preparing the case. Which would not surprize us at all..
Anyhoo.. I'm amused by the scientology apologists in this debate.
Hubbard pontificated, that kids are big thethans in small bodies. And so should be subject to 'Ethics' on the same terms as adults.
So, why is it that the scientology execs don't paddle adult staff on their bums in general?
Hmm.. Maybe they do.. Maybe those elderly guys in the SP hall bend over for a paddeling while looking at a picture of Hubbard?
