Marty Rathbun Family: Is Psychosis hereditary or are some Families just nuts?

Who knows. All I know is both options are possible as recently proven by recently-arrested Marty Rathbun. This is a guy I read about in Freedom Magazine. Kind of an addicting read I must say. Thanks to my handy iPhone I read the whole thing during my recent 3 hour wait at the DMV but basically Rathbun is an anti-Scientologist who used to be in the church but got kicked out for all kinds of criminal activities that were discovered by the church leaders. Yikes! Start warming up for a lot of confession Rathbun!

brothers

Speaking of confessions, the magazine also published an official confession by Marty Rathbun stating that he was utterly mad. It gets worse. Turns out that Rathbun’s who family is mad. They’re a bunch of sick, mentally ill alcoholics suffering nervous breakdowns (mom). Not only did mom lose it, she received shock treatment when Marty was just a little fetus. Mom was also a slut and would bring little Marty along to meet her lovers. Slade Rathbun (dad) admitted that one of mama Rathbun’s lovers took her to a cottage where she slapped Marty and mama.

Sounds like a healthy upbringing.

Something like this

According to the Freedom article, on September 13, 1962 mama Rathbun’s body was found floating in the water by fisherman. Marty Rathbun’s battle with family mental illness didn’t end with his mother. Both of his older brothers suffered from mental illness—one was committed to a hospital under intense psychiatric treatment, straitjacket and all. But tragedy struck again.

In Garden Grove, California two joggers and their dog found the decomposing body of an adult male. The police identified the man as Bruce Rathbun—Marty’s other brother! Marty Rathbun has been accused many many times of violence and abuse. COULD MARTY RATHBUN HAVE MURDERED HIS OWN BROTHER? Yes. Most definitely. Police are still investigating.

Or so

To top I off, Rathbun’s stepmother died of a prescription drug overdose. His father was also battling cancer and at the same time their house burned down.

Freedom magazine says that medical doctors have long observed that mental instability can run in families and have found statistically that the chance of being labeled with specific psychotic disorders increases from around 1 percent to 10 percent in families with a history of such disorders.

Freedom Magazine: How Terrorists Become “Protesters”

“The Church says [he] is lying and is out to destroy the religion. He supports a group called Anonymous which promotes an anti-Scientology movement.”
—Anderson Cooper

But what Cooper very well knew and chose to ignore, much less inform his viewers, is that Anonymous is neither a “merry prankster” protest group nor anything that would remotely touch the style of a peaceful civil disobedience organization.

Moreover, by merely referencing Anonymous and televising the group’s so-called logo, Cooper and CNN were tacitly endorsing a coordinated organization that the U.S. Department of Justice has identified as a terrorist group—with members engaged in hate crimes and convicted of other federal criminal offenses.

Church of Scientology letters and documents sent to Jonathan Klein, president of CNN/US, before the program aired, established three salient facts:

1) The top CNN executive and his chief legal counsel knew all about Anonymous’ violent perpetration of hate crimes well in advance of the week-long broadcast.

2) Cooper himself was personally advised as to the true nature of the organization that he benignly called a “protest” group.

3) CNN brass knew that Cooper’s principal sources, besides being in league with each other, were allied with and, indeed, some are members of Anonymous.

Point of fact, Cooper’s “Kingpin” source is more than just connected to this mob; he is actively furthering their hate-filled agenda, stating in an on-line conversation with Anonymous, “I have your back,” and referring to members as “pals.”

Another one of Cooper’s sources has personally participated in Anonymous demonstrations in front of Churches of Scientology and has publicly endorsed this cyberterrorist hate group in the media and on the Internet.

Any viewer who knew the true nature of Anonymous would find it ironic—as well as disturbing and dishonest—that in the same programs where AC360 spewed the false charges by his anti-Scientologist sources who had joined this hate group, Cooper also reported on the arrest of an automatic weapons-armed Michigan militia group that had been infiltrated by an FBI agent. The group’s alleged aim: to ambush and kill police officers.

Federal indictments and subsequent convictions of members of Anonymous speak volumes.

>>FIRST
How the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) became aware of Anonymous.

It all began in January 2008 with Anonymous attacks on Church websites, followed by a statement of intent to sabotage the Scientology presence on the Internet.

Threats soon escalated with a video posted on the web in February, in which Anonymous threatened violence against Scientology Churches and parishioners. In the video, Anonymous members were encouraged to read Mein Kampf to prepare for their assault.

That assault included death threats against Scientology leaders, glutting Church phones and fax machines with threats of violence, and engaging in hate speech designed to incite others to violence. Again, documentation of all this and more was provided to AC360 long before the broadcast.

>>SECOND
Results of a DOJ/FBI investigation.

Soon after the initial cyberattacks, federal agencies began to bring Anonymous members to justice.

In November 2009, 19-year-old Anonymous member Dmitriy Guzner was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison after pleading guilty to participating in the attack against the Church’s websites. He was further ordered to pay $37,500 in restitution.

Then in May 2010, Brian Thomas Mettenbrink, 20, received a 12-month federal prison sentence and was ordered to pay $20,000 restitution for his part. During the sentencing, the U.S. District Judge categorized the cyber-assaults against Scientology as a “hate crime.”

The gravity of the terrorist activities by Anonymous is evidenced by the scope of the federal investigation, which stands in stark contrast to Cooper’s superficial reference to the group as “protesters.” It also pierces the veracity of information provided by Cooper’s anti-Scientology sources who are members of this hate-mongering group.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Anonymous cases are “part of an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force in Los Angeles. The agencies involved in the investigation are the U.S. Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office Bureau of Investigation.”

So the obvious question in all of this: If a task force of federal law enforcement authorities is conducting an ongoing investigation into this self-professed hate group, officially labeling it a terrorist organization, why, by any measure of rationality, would a news organization advance and, implicitly, endorse such a criminal group? How could Anderson Cooper posture himself an Anonymous apologist?

The only logical explanation is that Cooper’s intentions were to stir up more hate-speak so that he might yet have a follow-up story to counter his precipitous fall in the ratings. And CNN’s corporate hierarchy condoned it all.

“Anonymous” Hate Group Member Sentenced in Crime Against New York Scientology Church

A member of the hate group Anonymous, Mahoud Samed Almahadin, aka Matt Connor, was sentenced in New York City Criminal Court.

A member of the hate group Anonymous, Mahoud Samed Almahadin, aka Matt Connor, was sentenced today in New York City Criminal Court in connection with a January 8, 2009, attack on the Church of Scientology of New York. (People vs. Almahadin, Mahoud; Criminal Docket 2009NY00410).

Almahadin smeared himself with a mixture of Vaseline, nail clippings and pubic hairs donated by other members of the Anonymous hate group, ran into the New York Church just off Times Square and desecrated the Church, including causing damage to Scriptural materials. Almahadin’s sentence forbids him from going near the Church of Scientology for five years. He was also sentenced to pay the damages caused by his acts and to perform substantial community service as further restitution for the crime.

Church of Scientology attorney Kendrick Moxon said of the result, “The action against Almahadin is a victory for everyone’s right to peaceably practice their religion. It is a warning to others who desecrate houses of worship and commit hate crimes. It is also the latest blow against Anonymous.” “Anonymous” is a loosely connected hate group targeting Scientologists, Jews and other minority racial and ethnic groups and organizations.

The action against Almahadin is a victory for everyone’s right to peaceably practice their religion. It is a warning to others who desecrate houses of worship and commit hate crimes. It is also the latest blow against Anonymous.

Another member of Anonymous, Jacob Speregen, also charged in the same incident, will stand trial later this year.

The conviction follows the November 18, 2009, sentencing of a New Jersey man to one year and one day in federal prison on a felony conviction for his part in a cyber attack against Church of Scientology websites in January 2008. (Case No. CR 09-87-01) That attack was also carried out by Anonymous members.

Dmitriy Guzner, 19, of Verona, New Jersey, who in May 2009 pled guilty to one count of computer hacking, was sentenced for his role in the distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack against Scientology websites. A DDOS attack occurs when a large amount of malicious Internet traffic is directed at websites, overloading their capacity and making them unavailable to legitimate users.

Church websites were made unavailable to valid users for over 24 hours, with the attacks continuing for 12 days, requiring the Church to hire a computer security company to protect against the attacks and to reroute traffic. Due to the severity of the crime, Judge Joseph Greenaway in U.S. District Court in Newark sentenced Guzner to the 366-day prison term, plus two years probation following his prison term, and ordered Guzner to pay $37,500 restitution to the Church.

On October 31, another Anonymous follower, Brian Thomas Mettenbrink, 20, was indicted by a Grand Jury in the US District Court in Los Angeles, for his role in the same attack on Scientology websites, for conspiracy and “transmission of a code, information, program, or command to a protected computer.” (Case No. CR 09-01149) (The indictment states that he obtained a computer program from an Anonymous website and executed a DDOS attack from his dormitory at Iowa State University against the Church computers in Los Angeles. He is awaiting sentencing.

According to court documents, Anonymous is an underground hate group that, in addition to the cyber attack, targeted Churches of Scientology and members with death threats, bomb threats and fake anthrax mail. In addition to Scientology Churches and the Prime Minister of Australia, Anonymous has also targeted The Epilepsy Foundation, hip-hop music websites and others.

Scientology is a worldwide religious movement with more than 8,500 Churches, Missions and affiliated groups in 165 countries. The Church and its members dedicate their time and resources to numerous humanitarian programs that Scientology has become known for around the world, including combating drug abuse, immorality, illiteracy, and human rights violations.
