Summary edit

Description

Clearwater, Florida 11/8/8.

In the 1970's Congressman Leo Ryan (1925 - 1978) was an early critic of L. Ron Hubbard's scientology and other cults of the day. In a brutal ambush he was gunned down by Jim Jones' fanatics of The People's Temple on a visit to Jonestown, Guyana with concerned relatives of some cultists.

For many cities the 10th straight month of Global Peaceful protests against the scientology cult was Operation Oh Brother Where Art Thou? This theme was to highlight the cult's own internal prison system called the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF), as well as the Estate Project Forces (EPF) which uses scientology children as young as 13 years old for dangerous and heavy manual labor.
