I felt sorry for the mayors of Zwickau, Rainer Eichhorn and Dietmar Vettermann. One of them, Eichhorn, was asked to resign, the other fled to Denmark.<\/p>

The attacks, especially on Rainer Eichhorn, were slyly initiated by Frank Seidel CDU. He was also the one who financed the criminal Ursula Caberta, SPD.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The 1980s and the beginning of the hunt for Scientology in Germany<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I have enjoyed being a Scientologist since 1980. That is my personal freedom.

A witch hunt against Scientology began in the 1980s. It started with the Protestant Church. They had a sect pastor Hag, who believed in demons and tried to prevent the spread of Scientology with lies.<\/p>

One of the politicians who consistently defamed Scientology and Scientologists over the years, against his better judgement, was G\u00fcnther Beckstein, Vice-President of the Synod of the Protestant Church and later Minister President of Bavaria. He had the power to infiltrate other politicians and prepared the ground for the hysteria.<\/p>

It went as far as the sect filter. Employees of administrations, corporations, banks and politicians had to sign that they had nothing to do with Scientology.<\/p>

There is no legal basis for this, it is discrimination against a minority, a method like in the 3rd Reich.<\/p>

In contrast to the established churches, there was no persecution of Jews in Scientology, no funeral pyres and never any sexual abuse of children.<\/p>

Scientology stands up for human rights and is committed to combating drugs and psychiatric abuse. Helping is at the top of the agenda.<\/p>

Despite this, the religion has been monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution for many years.
At first only the organisation was attacked, later also Scientologists, especially me.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Thanks to the political support, some so-called investigative journalists and \"experts\" were able to sell articles, give paid lectures and earn money from television stations.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Interview with Liane von Billerbeck<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It all started in Zwickau in 1996. Liane von Billerbeck wanted an interview from me on the subject of Scientology. It was about an article in Stern magazine.<\/p>

I had a problem because various banks had applications for financing totalling over 45 million for further renovations in Zwickau. I didn't want any irritation in the loan negotiations. Some banks are press-shy.<\/p>

Through skilful tactics, I was able to delay the article until the financing was finalised.<\/p>

The article published in Stern (Hitler diaries), of all places, was full of lies, generalisations and untruths. Mrs Billerbeck is a so-called investigative journalist and makes a living from it.<\/p>

From then on, this Mrs Billerbeck was often in Zwickau. The methods of her journalism were extremely vile. Among the many building contractors, she found very few who were dissatisfied. Naturally, there were defects in the large number of refurbishments and also deductions if the defects were not rectified.<\/p>

At that time, naively, I still believed that such journalists were also interested in correct reporting. Companies confirmed in writing that they worked well with me. My auditor confirmed that the company had no connection to Scientology.<\/p>

These journalists were not interested, they reported as if my company was a front organisation of the Church of Scientology.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Once my friend, the light artist Gert Hof, visited me in Zwickau. Gert Hof knew Liane von Billerbeck and told me:<\/p>

\"During her time in the GDR, she was a lousy investigative journalist. She was employed by the Berliner Illustrierte and was in the SED.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

She lived with J\u00fcrgen Ehle, a rock musician from the group Pankow, which was synonymous with freedom in the GDR. The relationship produced two children.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

J\u00fcrgen Ehle was convicted of being a Stasi informer. That was a bombshell in Berlin.\"<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

I wrote her that, miserably revealed it, then she never turned up in Zwickau again.<\/p>

Although she has tried to destroy my reputation, she is still allowed to work as a journalist for public broadcasters.<\/p>

Before:<\/strong> Billerbeck brought in Sabine Mierisch, who was preparing a television programme for SAT 1.<\/p>

Unfortunately, I talked to her, I tried to stop the programme.<\/p>

I told her that Scientology was a good thing, that she should report correctly. I was naive, ready to answer all the questions.<\/p>

But then Mierisch tried to convince me to work with her.<\/p>

She said through my work, through the many projects, I would be the ideal person to take action against Scientology with her. I should leave Scientology and help to demean Scientology. Billerbeck and she would then report on it.<\/p>

Then I would be rid of all my problems.
I was close to slapping her in the face, good thing I could control myself. Then I said, fuck off.<\/p>

The letter from a tenant shows the despicable character and methods of Mrs Mierisch.<\/p>

Billerbeck and Mierisch were followed by others of equal quality.<\/p>

Even the ZDF deceived me. I agreed to an interview, had it confirmed in writing that my contribution would be broadcast in its entirety, not edited, not manipulated. The opposite was the case.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The journalists found an ally in Zwickau: Rainer R\u00e4ch, then editor-in-chief of the \"Freie Presse\". He joined forces with Frank Seidel, a liar and dilettante who disappeared into obscurity after his unsuccessful candidacy for mayor.<\/p>

Seidel wanted to convince the city council to finance a Scientology monitoring office.<\/p>

I applied for a job.<\/p>

Mayor Eichhorn praises my work<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

R\u00e4ch received a letter in which Lord Mayor Eichhorn praised my work. This letter is the most natural thing in the world. Why shouldn't a mayor pay respect to someone who is reviving entire neighbourhoods? R\u00e4ch claimed that Eichhorn supported me and also demanded his resignation.<\/p>

Eichhorn should not resign. I organised a press conference. Many journalists came and were very disappointed when I didn't attack anyone. The surprise was great when I announced that I was leaving Zwickau. That eased the situation and the media frenzy abruptly subsided.<\/p>

Eichhorn was saved.<\/p>

I never intended to do that.<\/span><\/p>

All these lousy people journalists and zealots overestimate themselves. Only a few people have allowed themselves to be deceived.<\/p>

When they could no longer sell the infamous lies about me to magazines and TV stations, they all disappeared quickly.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
