May, 1982. In the wake of landmark IRS and FBI investigations into the "Church" of Scientology's criminal activities, the city of Clearwater, Florida's City Council held hearings delving into the CoS plot to infiltrate and overrun the Clearwater area. The CoS had set up their Flag operations under "Operation Normandy" in the Fort Harrison Hotel in 1975 and since, Clearwater has become a mecca for over 8,000 of Scientology's cultish goons and lavish home to famed space cadet and Celebrity Center dupe, Lisa Marie Presley.
Over the week of those hearings, the local public station televised the proceedings and the denizens of Clearwater were glued to their sets in horror as evidence of CoS crimes and misconduct came to light, which subsequently rallied the residents in a demonstration of protest against the "church"'
s overtaking of the city, filling a nearby stadium. No State or Federal agencies came to the aid of Clearwater during those hearings, and subsequently, the people of that quiet city unwittingly surrendered Clearwater to the Cult of Scientology. This video is Paulette Cooper's sworn testimony befor
e the Clearwater City Council Hearings that week. A freelance writer and author of "The Scandal of Scientology, Cooper was a victim of vicious and deliberate attacks against her from the CoS under the notorious "Operation Freakout", which included framing her for several bomb threats, attempts on he
r life, unrelenting harassment and a score of frivolous law suits. Ms. Cooper's testimony is arguably among the most damaging and all-encompassing public insight into the insidious tactics against opposers of the suppressive, scandalous and criminal institution known as the "Church" of Scientology.
