In Pictures: Scientology’s Paris Olympics distribution campaign

Posted on by Alexander Barnes-Ross
Scientology volunteers exploiting the Paris Olympics

Last week, the French government issued a warning after Scientologists were reported to be handing out ‘Truth About Drugs’ booklets across the country. In a statement posted on Twitter/X, Miviludes warned the the campaign is “taking advantage of the Olympics to promote the Church of Scientology under the guise of drug prevention”.

We reported last month that Scientology hope to distribute a million booklets during the Paris Olympics, and we are now able to bring you these photographs of the currently-ongoing campaign.

    Thank you for the artical and photos.
    Seems like they drew in quite a few volunteers.
    I haven’t seen that many in Los Angeles in many years – a court house protest and beach cleanup
    But more then 10 is very rare.

    LRon Hubbard Way – The Complex / PAC Bridge / Big Blue has been filmed and broadcasted nearly daily by protesters for the last year. Seeing more then 10 students and PreClears at lunch and dinner breaks is rare!

    Scientology is so shrinking. I would imagine the crew are trying to fool David Miscavage while he is starving them in order to force compliance to the photo shoots needed for the next event to fool the whales.

    What a dreary place to work. May they all wake up and rejoin their families 😊

    Thank you for all the work you are doing in the UK!
