Hi and Welcome to the forum.:)

I read the first link, an found it very moving. It's really hard to decipher what the truth about this is as its the first time I've come across them. But so much of the article felt like what a lot of people are going through right now. My parents are reasonably high up in the church of england and I've had moments of intense paranoia regarding them earlier this year (and I love them dearly), looking back it seems insane, but at the time I was pretty convinced.

The problem is, is the secrecy exists, and its everywhere, so even intense paranoia might actually be what's really happening, i.e it may not be paranoia is what I'm trying to say.

As far as this story goes, I could well believe everything they thought was true, was true, I could also believe parts of it were true and that inevitably led to total mistrust of everything - I'm not far off that myself at times.

Either way, another sad loss to the world judging by the article, and they sounded like excellent people. Times are bad, no two ways about it, we need to keep helping to expose the secrecy and evil, people are suffering everywhere now because of it.

Fucking Scientologists, and secrecy and all the arrogance and hate that goes with it.

As had always been the case, Blake did not doubt that her concerns were justified; Duncan’s opinion was the final word on all matters. And so as the joy of success had once been felt in tandem, these frustrations were experienced as being inflicted upon them both. Blake, never an aggressive personality before, became increasingly antagonistic and distrustful of “the system.” They seemed to fuel something in each other, growing convinced that what they were experiencing was not the fickle, indifferent hand of Hollywood, but larger, more sinister forces working toward their ultimate destruction. It was never an easy thread to follow, never a comfortable moment when they laid it out for you. There was the cocktail party the couple threw in December 2005, for instance, a small gathering, only six people, which had begun like any other night at their house: good drink, better conversation, a fire going, the ashtray on the coffee table filling up. But then Blake, triggered by nothing in particular, spent 45 minutes talking about his relationship with Beck, about how the two grew close after working together on the album cover but ultimately had a falling-out because Beck was a practicing Scientologist, and Scientologists, Blake was confident, used networks of spies to watch over anyone they perceived as a threat to the church. (Beck says that he last spoke to the couple in the summer of 2004. “There was never any discussion of religion or anything personal,” he says of their friendship. And the Church of Scientology told the Los Angeles Times: “Never heard of these people. This is completely untrue.”) Later that evening the topic turned to Miranda July, whose independent film Me and You and Everyone We Know had recently been released. Suddenly Duncan and Blake were going into detail about how July, whom they also suspected of being a Scientologist (though she is not affiliated with the church), was “stalking” them, how she was somehow connected to the larger scheme, out to sabotage their careers and possibly their lives.

In retrospect it would seem like an affliction of sorts, a miswiring of the mind, a case of the city’s “terrible boredom” playing tricks on them. Throughout 2006, they began to accuse close friends of somehow being involved in the plot; some were asked to sign formal “loyalty oaths,” others were bombarded with vicious e-mails that had little connection with reality. Christine Nichols, who offered Blake his first solo show at her gallery Works on Paper, was mystified when Blake abruptly terminated their friendship. Reza Aslan, a young Islamic scholar who socialized with the couple, was startled to be accused, over e-mail and on Duncan’s blog, of being affiliated with the CIA (Duncan believed that the Church of Scientology was a front for a government intelligence agency). Blake abruptly dropped out of his film project, telling Schlei, the producer and by this point a close friend, that he was unknowingly dating a Scientologist. Schlei denied this; Blake stopped speaking to him
