Haven't looked at the vid yet, but it's the leaders he should be going after, not the gullible followers IMO.
Well, yes. And....no.
Let's say it's April 29th 1945, five years into an exhaustive, nightmarish World War in which over 50 million people were senselessly massacred. By a "leader" named Hitler.
Years of brutal sacrifice and bravery by Allied forces to finally land in mainland Europe (D-Day Invasion) and fight their bloody, death-filled way inch-by-inch towards Berlin where their "leader" is bunkered down.
And let's further suppose that on April 29th the Allied forces arrive at the site of the underground bunker and fight all day/night to capture it.
Now it's April 30th 1945. Hitler's hideout has been captured, but it's quickly discovered that earlier that day he killed himself. The Leader is gone.
So, then what? The massive armies and equipment arrayed across Germany/Europe are just called back? Returned to their respective countries, USA, Russia, Britain, et al?
And all the murderous SS collaborators that committed concentration camp genocide are allowed to simply turn in their weapon and uniform and say "My bad, I won't do it again"--Because they were not the "LEADER"?
How does society benefit when
only the "leader" is held responsible for their complicity, support and enablement?
This is not a cry for vengeance. It is a reminder that justice is best served when it is evenly distributed. That's how, for example, Federal agencies ultimately brought down the Mafia--by targeting ALL OF THE MEMBERS. That's how they got the lower-level thugs and murderers to roll over on the bigger bosses.
That's what the FBI should have been doing all along. Getting Scientologists to rat out their comrades, with no guarantees of immunity unless they TELL EVERYTHING and nothing else is later discovered to have been withheld.
History proves this works even in Scientology's horrible past. Recall that the last time Scientology leaders went to prison was in OPERATION SNOW WHITE---and only after federal agencies brought such horrific pressure of long prison time that they were able to flip a key insider (Gerald Wolfe) that Mary Sue Hubbard, Ron Hubbard and their respective thug-posses were desperately trying to keep hidden from authorities.
Scientology's LEADER(s) are never going to tell the truth or allow themselves to face justice. They'll
spend all the cults billions before they allow themselves to
spend a minute behind bars. Thus, it absolutely requires the MEMBERS of such a cult to cooperate under severe threat of prison. Maybe some of those MEMBERS need to do jail time too. Who cares? Nobody is forcing them to bully, bankrupt and beat people.
