Brief Steven Fishman background

Steven Fishman is an ex-scientologist who was eventually arrested for by the F.B.I. for committing financial crimes on the order of the Church of Scientology. There’s a famous and completely awesome video at the start of this post with him and you can draw your own conclusions as to whether this guy is completely crazy or not. The whole controversy with Steven Fishman all began with the former scientologist’s interview with the Time Magazine about Scientology and to better explain it, here’s a quote from a press release Steven Fishman released in 1994:

The controversy began in November of 1991, when the Church of Scientology International sued Dr. Geertz and myself for defamation arising out of statement which the defendants made to TIME MAGAZINE reporter Richard Behar. The statements related to financial crimes which were committed by me, Steven Fishman, after I was trained to participate in a securities class action fraud scheme by Scientology staff members at the Church of Scientology Mimi Org and the Church of Scientology Mission of Fort Lauderdale. I spent the money obtained from the fraud on auditing, training, and for purchasing the third largest library of L. Ron Hubbard books, tapes, cassettes and E-Meters in the world. After my arrest by the FBI in July of 1988, Church officials, church officials ordered me to murder my psychologist, Dr. Geertz, because I had confided in my psychologist about the details of my crime. I was thrown into “Treason” a low ethics condition, and was told by my Ethics Officer Frank Thompson that I could work my way up from “Treason” by protecting the Church from the FBI investigation. I followed the orders of my Ethics Officer which resulted in my being charged with Obstruction of Justice. At the same time, Church attorney Timothy Bowles worked closely with the United States District Attorney in Los Angeles in order to secure my conviction and eliminate any exposure to the Church.

The guy looks to be a bit crazy/brain washed and you can easily confirm that in the interview. Steven Fishman said that he was the biological father of Jesus Christ and The Church of Scientology also said he was. His auditors, Nancy Witkowski, Catherine Fox, Leah Abady, Ann Glushakow, Margaret Supak, Richard Reese, John Eastment, Hans Stahli, and Ray Mithoff all checked Steven Fishman on the e-meter over a period of years and told him over and over again that he was the biological father of Jesus Christ. It was his responsibility to expose the lies and myth of Christianity. Ridiculous. No mater what your religious beliefs are, it’s plain ridiculous.

Anyway, the whole purpose of this post is for you to watch the interview with Steven Fisherman, it’s really great. This is just 30 minutes of the 3.5 hours interview. You can follow the link I’ve put to see the rest of the interview if you haven’t had enough!
