Picture above is of David Miscavige, the leader of Scientology. What was done to the former official and his wife was incredible harassment, they followed him, spied on him, and harassed him for months, after he dared leave and criticize the organization.
Via NY Post:
Scientology members allegedly set up high-tech surveillance cameras to spy on the family of a disillusioned former leader, a bombshell harassment lawsuit against the church claims.
Monique Rathbun, wife of former church bigwig turned critic Marty Rathbun, filed a suit in Comal County, Texas, saying she has been “harassed, insulted, surveilled, photographed, videotaped, defamed and humiliated” by church members, including a group called the “squirrel busters” who allegedly rented a home near the couple to spy on them.
Marty was inspector general of Scientology’s Religious Technology Center but left the church in 2004, while Monique was never a member. Marty says his wife is suing because she has become “collateral damage” in Scientology’s alleged pursuit of him. He told Page Six, “The intent was to make our life a living hell and drive us out of our hometown, which succeeded. We moved to hill country, property surrounded by woods. They tracked down the owner of a 5-acre undeveloped property behind us and leased it and put what appeared to be camouflaged game cameras. But upon inspection they turned out to be high-tech human surveillance cameras — the same cameras used by the DEA and patrol on the Mexican border and now by drug dealers to counteract the DEA. They were camouflaged in cameras that appeared to be to alert hunters to the movement of deer.”
Examples of some of the harassment:
1. Spying on Rathbun from the canal behind his house.
2. Harassing him at his front door, while wearing ridiculous cameras on their heads, and shirts with his face crossed out. They call those who might teach variations from Scientology, “squirrels”, that is why they refer to themselves as “Squirrel busters”, because they are trying to stop Rathbun from practicing and teaching as he sees fit. Imagine these characters following you for months.
