Magazine article: The Freewinds creating an ever widening wake of LRH technology (2010)

With the Maiden Voyage Anniversary comes a salute to the Ship herself. She’s not only the ultimate distraction-free environment, but she sails in a rare tradition of maritime excellence and cuts a significant wake in terms of enhancing lives in her latitudes.

Consider a brief reintroduction, vis-a-vis this from LRH: “Individual ships are incredibly different in performance and amount of untoward incident. Some are ‘lucky,’ some aren’t. But the difference is entirely that of the competence and coordinated organization.” –LRH

Maritime Excellence: To anyone with a maritime eye, what most distinguishes the Freewinds is the vessel herself. And for that just enter the pages of Maritime Reporter and Engineering News,   the veritable bible of the marine industry. If it is newsworthy, noteworthy or sets a new industry standard, MaritimeReporter covers it–such as this: “In today’s ‘I need it yesterday’ world, emphasis on quantity often overpowers quality. while the quick fix can supersede the correct one. Step back, take a deep breath, and enjoy the fruits of a tremendous labor, a labor of love…”

Whereupon readers were treated to a six-page spread of the Freewinds’ top-to-bottom renovations completed last year, which   Maritime Reporter described as “absolutely incredible.”

Spreading Safety at Sea: Beyond aesthetics, there is all the Freewinds represents in terms of sheer seafaring mastery. It bears repeating that the Freewinds remains the only Caribbean vessel authorized to train and certify seamen. She is also essentially the regional authority for action like this:

Security chiefs and emergency response representatives from Santa Marta, Colombia, assembled under the auspices of an International Ship and Port Security Code (ISPSC), initiated after al-Qaeda hit a French tanker in 2002. Accordingly, at 0900 hours on the 10th of August, the Freewinds‘ own security team called in a mock bomb threat to show them how it is done.

All port fire and emergency medical squads assembled dockside. Colombian Army bomb squads boarded and commenced sniffing out mock explosives. Said “explosive” was discovered and disarmed. But intelligence indicated mines on the hull. Hence, the Ship’s own dive team led Colombian coast guard divers over the side.

But there was another unit itching for Freewinds’ training–specifically fire-fighting units from the Cartagena Naval Academy. Their curriculum was initiated in the wake of Caribbean piracy–the kind that takes down container ships with black-market assault rifles and grenade launchers.

Part of the “cure” was a joint United States military and Colombian Special Forces exercise in which the Freewinds was asked to participate–since her crew know the ropes. In attendance was   a fully appointed Twin Huey combat chopper, US Navy Seals and Colombian Special Operations personnel.

The Freewinds doubled as a slow-moving cargo ship under hostile attack while Special Forces “had boys” dropped on board, deadly serious on completing in regulation manner. Or, at least until a certain Freewinds’ passenger–IAS Freedom Medal Winner and Latin American superstar Ruddy Rodriguez–happened onto the pool deck. Whereupon maneuvers were temporarily suspended by “popular consent” for a photo shoot–although the forces are now more committed than ever to eradicate piracy from these waters!

All told, a full   92 percent of all Caribbean security personnel were trained aboard the Freewinds.

Spreading Calm with LRH Tech: There is, however, another Freewinds course to safety, and this one leaves the widest wake of all: the Freewinds as an emissary of The Way To Happiness.

It’s been a top-down operation to the likes of police officers from St. Kitts, the Barbados Ministry of Culture, the Aruba Minister of Education, even the Prime Minister–while the Minister of Finance funds airplay of the PSA “Be Temperate” on all three island stations, immediately cutting drunk driving fatalities to zero. Throughout the Caribbean, the Freewinds is now the conduit for more than 240,000 booklets across the islands, not to mention the Honorable Haligan Riley, who is the newly appointed Minister of The Way to Happiness.

Colombia: Then there is the definitive model of a grassroots operation for social salvage–the conclusive story of the Freewinds’ humanitarian undertaking in Colombia.

All commenced in early 2009 with Way to Happiness seminars at the Colombian naval base at Cartagena. Distribution was likewise initiated among Colombian naval personnel. Freewinds personnel also linked withMajor Ricardo Antonio Prado from the Colombian National Police, and taggedwith Colonel Carlos Mena–Bolivar State Police Commander. In combination,they organized independent seminars in Cartagena schools and colleges, and Major Prado initiated a distribution network principally through Bogota police.

Simultaneously, Freewinds officers linked with Captain John Carlos Flores of the Cartagena Navy flotilla. After which, they were running distribution through Amazonian gunboats on the trafficking lanes. Then it was seminars to Colombian naval officers in the Starlight   Cabaret aboard the Freewinds.

By late summer 2009 the Freewinds was seeing Cartagena police in her course rooms, and after a   Freewinds’ Ability Congress in the middle of a Bogota military base, Colombian officials were beginning to embrace the tech whole cloth.

They were also developing sophisticated distribution. Major Prado’s The Way to Happiness motorcycle police made heavy inroads through better than a dozen cities. It mushroomed with with events like the big Cartagena pageant where police filtered some 20,000 booklets into the crowds. Then there was Colonel Mena’s Way to Happiness float, which effectively signified   the whole Bolivar State Police Force was on board.

Finally, there was both   The Way to Happiness and human rights materials requested on behalf of every military branch. Then it was The Way to Happiness precepts airing up to 100 times a clay all over Colombian networks. While   better than 20,000 police and military officers possessed The Way   to Happiness and human rights materials.

Whereupon it was over 3 million booklets through Colombian cities in the last 18 months–absolutely date coincident with a 50 percent drop in national crime rates. While on behalf of the army as a whole, Colonel Diaz just presented LRH with this:

“To Master L. Ron Hubbard, our greatest   acknowledgment for your knowledge, teachings and doctrines to the military forces of Colombia…”

Colombian Postscript: All begins with Major Prado’s formal academic thesis to National Police command on how TWTH might be broadly employed to improve Colombian law enforcement.

Result: He has been approved for promotion to Police Colonel and is now a Lifetime Member of the IAS who vows not to rest until Colombia is blanketed with LRH technology.

Then there is Captain Flores, a “friend for life” of the Freewinds and “at their service” forevermore. He is now Chief of Staff for the largest naval command in Colombia. Moreover, he has all ships distributing booklets.

Finally, there is Colonel Mena–now General Mena, Chief of Security for the Colombian President. And he likewise vows to infuse his nation with LRH technology.

All told: with both police and military, Colombia’s Ministry of Defense has just approved a curriculum to bring The Way to Happiness and the human rights campaign to every military branch, more than 800,000 personnel in all!

The Colombian military has seen a date-coincident crime reduction pursuant to implementing The Way to Happiness–hence the awards to LRH and thanks to the Freewinds.

[Sidebar:] THE RIPPLE EFFECT
Between the Columbian coast and the Leeward Islands, the Freewinds has now introduced at least three million people to LRH technology. And when you figure in the ripple effect, it all sizes up this way: the Freewinds is not only a ship with grand stature from a Scientology vantage point, she is a ship looming immeasurably large in the hearts and minds of all she meets and helps–a ship that has today entered the honored lanes of nautical lore, where she yet continues to bring the hope and glory of LRH tech everywhere she sails.

POLICE OFFICER, ROYAL ST. KITTS & NEVIS POLICE FORCE: I saw a particular lady who at times can be hard to deal with and I saw her reading the book and I said, “Gosh you just made my day. You’re reading that book from the Freewinds.”

POLICE OFFICER, WEST INDIES FEDERAL POLICE FORCE: I don’t think people just see it as just another ship sailing into the harbor. It’s like you’re in a dark room and you see a light coming. That’s what the Freewinds means.

MINISTER OF TOURISM AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT, ST. KITTS: If it was possible for one group to become so closely linked to the people and that they would continue doing it for so long–that is really what makes the story so novel.

MINISTER BARBADOS: Thank you for giving us an opportunity for this material to reach us. Our young people are looking for answers, and The Way to Happiness has been a revolutionizing book.

VICE PRESIDENT, CABLE NOTICIAS NEWS NETWORK, COLUMBIA: After you get out of the boat you feel better. You feel relaxed and you say, “Oh, I need to help the world, I need to help my country.”

DIRECTOR GENERAL, RED CROSS, ANTIGUA & BARBUDA: You have set a foundation of friendship. So when you come we are ready with open arms to accept you.

COMMANDER, NATIONAL POLICE TOURISM UNIT, CARTEGENA, COLUMBIA: I want to thank you for making me a better person, making me a better leader, making me a better man.

NATIONAL COORDINATOR, YOUTH & ADOLESCENTS, NATIONAL POLICE, COLUMBIA: The Ship is a magnificent model of civilization. It is the best place to learn how to create an ideal scene and build an ideal planet.1

Magazine article: The Way to Happiness: Operation Planetary Calm (2010)

impact123-16-17
Volunteers distributed 2,000 custom copies of The Way to Happiness to cadets at the Thai Military Academy. The Deputy Commandant welcomed them as the school endeavors to graduate officers who are “gentlemen of high moral standards”.

THE WAY TO HAPPINESS

OPERATION PLANETARY CALM

It is the most embracive IAS-sponsored Planetary Salvage Campaign of all and provides people with the principles for living through the 21 precepts of The Way to Happiness.

Everyone pays a price for criminality in the society. A majority of companies report that they are victims of corporate crime – most of it is committed by their own employees. Violence, to say nothing of cheating on exams, is a problem in many schools. And parents often despair of raising children with high moral standards and having a happy home. The answers to these societal problems and more is The Way to Happiness. IAS grants are making it widely available through Operation Planetary Calm. Grants fund Public Service Announcements on national TV networks, mailings of information kits to schools and community leaders, and Education Packages for teachers and other educators. These contain The Way to Happiness booklets and film, PSAs, classroom posters of the precepts and Educator’s Guides. They are free, thanks to IAS funding. And just as LRH predicted, The Way to Happiness is changing conditions wherever it goes. Here are some of the people who are using the materials.

‘The response is awesome. I HAVE SEEN STUDENTS BEHAVING AND WELL-MANNERED after just three lessons from the kit.”

CAPTAIN “The project, based on the book The Way to Happiness, A Common Sense Guide to Better Living has positively impacted several areas of my division. In these key areas, I have seen it contribute to a decrease in crime, as well as result in positive improvement among members of the community. In one particular area, there was a decrease in crime by over 30 percent in a six-month period.”

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL “We have decreased violence in the school by 80% over the school year. We have decreased disrespectful attitudes toward teachers, decreased vulgar language and gestures… kids are now more apt to sit down, calm down, think about what to do and set a good example. It’s a 100% improvement.”

TEACHER “I have been implementing the lessons since the beginning of the year with great success. It is an amazing tool to have and put to use. It absolutely affects both parents and children. The students go home and tell their parents. The parents notice big differences in their child’s viewpoint and awareness.”

SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR -The Way to Happiness booklet is what we need to raise and unite our souls for the sake of all humans. If one seeks to provide guidance and perfection, one must use The Way to Happiness morals as a weapon for better living.”

STUDENT “You have saved my life. Watching this film has opened my eyes. It’s about time I became a better person. I want to say thank you for the wonderful message in the film. This is my wake-up call.”

PARENT’Ihave two sons, aged 7 and 5.1 recently attended a workshop on The Way to Happiness. When I read the sentence, ‘Let them help – if you don’t they become overwhelmed with a sense of obligation they then must repress’, I recalled many examples of times my children had wanted to help and I hadn’t let them. I understood the magnitude of my mistake and I decided to change it. Two days later my children wanted to help and I let them. Together they set the dinner table, folded towels, took dishes out of the dishwasher and even swept the floor. It all happened because I was more aware. Since then, everyone has been happy! If this made such an essential change, I believe that if I persist there will be big changes!”

“Like gentle oil spread upon the raging sea, the calm will flow outward and outward.” – LRH

A village in Slovakia was experiencing a wave of robberies and criminality, when Lifetime Members Karol Mueller and Svetlana Muellerova told a primary school librarian about The Way to Happiness program. The librarian requested the program for the school.

When the School Director saw the results from the first 70 students, he was so pleased that he arranged to have the program delivered to the whole school. He next showed the Chief of Police the success he was having with the program. The Chief decided he wanted his officers to have this valuable new tool to use and asked the Muellers to give them a seminar. He also asked the Muellers to present it at the regional police meeting the following weekend.

News of The Way to Happiness program has spread throughout the region. Children and teachers distributed the booklets to two thirds of the citizens in the village. The Chief of Police was happy to report that in the weeks that followed, the number of robberies in the village dropped to zero.1

Scientology magazine: The Grand Opening of the Founding Church in the American Capital (2010)

 

The Grand Opening of the Founding Church in the American Capital

IT’S A GIFT FROM THE IAS and bestowed on behalf of every member of the IAS. Of course, their contributions came with full knowledge of what this nation’s capital means to the world.” Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center

October 31, 2009 was a day that will be remembered as an extraordinary moment in Scientology history: the Grand Opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new IAS-sponsored Ideal Organization and Founding Church of Scientology of Washington, DC.

Located just six blocks from the White House in the historic Embassy Building on Embassy Row, it not only serves as the new home of the Founding Church, but completes a triad of addresses in DuPont Circle as it joins the original Founding Church premises on 19th Street NW that now stand as a preservation landmark in honor of LRH and the landmark Fraser Mansion which -will soon serve as the National Office for the Church of Scientology. Leaders from the local community and national government welcomed the Church to its new premises. They spoke of their close relationship with the Church and their strong desire to continue working together with Scientologists in disaster relief and recovery efforts, rehabilitating criminals and creating respect for human rights.

Scientologists were deeply honored to have the Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center, Mr. David Miscavige, attend the Grand Opening and deliver a personal address. He cited LRH milestones in connection with Washington, DC– from LRH’s distinction as America’s youngest Eagle Scout to his studies at George Washington University and from his authoring of Dianetics: The Original Thesis to his establishment of our first Church of Scientology in 1955.

Next, speaking of all we do to uplift this civilization, Mr. Miscavige detailed the worldwide expansion of the many IAS-sponsored social betterment programs and Fourth Dynamic campaigns. Referring to the fact that IAS grants funded this new Ideal Org, he said, “It’s a gift from the IAS and bestowed on behalf of every member of the IAS. Of course, their contributions came with full knowledge of what this nation’s capital means to the world. So, no, you don’t ‘owe’ every member of the IAS who made this day possible. But, on the other hand, you certainly now ‘owe’ Washington, DC. Which is to say: Instill respect for human rights on the Hill up there or pass The Way to Happiness to your neighbors down the block–and who knows how far the ripples will roll from there.”

Acknowledging our Founder, Mr. Miscavige and the distinguished guests cut the ribbon and officially opened wide the doors. At which point thousands were invited in to see their new Ideal Org firsthand.

Promo: What can the Purification Rundown Life Improvement procedure do for your child? (2008)

What can the Purification Rundown ® Life Improvement TM Procedure do for your child?

The Chemical Environment: Pick up a newspaper or watch the evening news and you are likely to see at least one story about toxic waste dumps, chemical spills, or the alarming health risks posed by new and old contaminants.

More than 3,000 chemicals are deliberately added to the foods one commonly finds in a supermarket. Over 700 different chemical compounds have been found in common drinking water. Thousands of tons of pesticides are directly applied to the environment each year.

Whether you are aware of it or not, these harmful chemicals affect your child’s life. They can adversely affect your child’s health, dull their senses and zap them of their energy and vitality for life.

L. Ron Hubbard’s findings demonstrate that chemicals stay in the body long after their effects have supposedly “worn off.” They are stored in the fatty tissues of the body. Additionally, he discovered far-reaching mental and spiritual effects caused by the accumulations, quite in addition to their effects on the body itself. Mental dullness, the inability to think clearly, slow reaction time, and poor concentration are just some of what could be affecting your child. The avenues to learning and improved awareness are effectively blocked.

It’s a pretty bleak picture – unless you can do something about it.

Fortunately, now you can.

The PURIFICATION RUNDOWN is the effective program, validated by thousands of success stories from all over the world of people from all walks of life. Don’t wait, get your child on the Purification Rundown today! […]1
