It's a powerful stiff right uppercut straight to the jaw of $cientology.

Bunker's videos are also available on LiveLeak which doesn't fall prey to threats and intimidation nearly as easily as YouTube.

The irony is that Scientology itself is the organization which is truly "suppressive." The only "SPs" in the world are Scientologists themselves. Everyone else is simply open to seeking the truth, debating the truth; but oh no, not Scientologists. The capacity of rational debate is brainwashed out of them beginning on day one. No more thinking for yourself once your in the cult and they're able to get your money.

Look, when your head spokespeople are a bunch of Hollywood actors (not the brightest stars of humanity), you got to know something is rotten.

It's wild and woolly!

Scientology has money, and so youtube has lain down iin a craven manner before the threat of litigation. They're not interested in the truth of the situation, simply in protecting their own backsides.

Why hasn't the Times covered the anti-Scientology protests in London, which have had in attendance between 300-800 people each time? Will you cover the next protest on May 10th?

I think the fact is, Scientologists don't know any better way to behave. They have many groups inside their organisation (The Orgs and the Special Operations groups for example) which are used to attack their critics.

All of the user content of Mark Bunker - an Emmy award winning journalist - was filmed himself. No possible issue exists on YouTube except complaints from the Cult.

This three minute video is but a teasers of what Mark claims is an open, honest and truthful account of Scientology's many scams and secrets - and they don't want the full video released as it was going to be today.
They won't stop the 'Anonymous' group which has globally picketed them for three months running, nor will they silence those remaining critics who have not died in mysterious circumstances (Google 'Sean Lonsdale').

This is not the only scientology critic to have their account suspended this week - are these suspensions in proportion to the advertising the Scientologists have just bought on YT?

Rob, London,

The interview clearly doesn't violate any of these 'clear' content policies so we are left with absolutely no explanation as to why the account is gone.

For every Jason Beghe video the Cult/YouTube removes, ten more will reappear! Free speech and the TRUTH about Scientology will not be suppressed!

Mavis, Charm City,

Scientology is an evil cult started by a man that stated "If you want to make money,start a religion."
What it teaches is pure bunk.What it does is pure evil.
When will governments act to shut down this cult once and for all.Like other cults it prays on the most vulnerable in our societies.

James, London, U.K

We have Youtube, a commercial organization offering a sort of international community center. The service they offer is free. People like it. But it is a free service. They make their rules, they monitor their site and they are successful.

They are a private company, they can do any damn thing they want to. And people do like it, as witnessed by their success. Certainly they don't answer to a man who runs his own TV channel.

Terryeo, San Francisco, California

Mark Bunker had no copyright infringing videos on his profile. All of them were discussions or legally made videos of Scientology centers.

Actually, Mark Bunker's YouTube channel, XenuTV1 is still in suspension. The Jason Beghe is only available because it has gone viral all over YouTube.

Just what happened with the Cult tried to remove the now, infamous, Tom Cruise Mission Impossible OT 8 out ethics did you ever meet an SP video. There are hundreds of copies of it floating all around the internet now.

Thanks for covering this. Scientology continues to make more and more bad press for themselves in the way they handle decent.

radu , Bakersfield,

YouTube did not act quickly. Mark Bunkers account is still suspended on YouTube. It's just that people are reposting the video on their own accounts.

Len Renberg, Erlish,

NO, YouTube has NOT acted quickly. Mark Bunker's XenuTV1 account is STILL canceled -- with no explaination given. The Jason Beghe teaser has been re-posted by many individual YouTube users who are appalled by this censorship.

If you take exception to Mark Bunker's account being canceled, please let YouTube know about it by e-mailing:

It's only up because people made copies of the video and re-hosted them. The original video, and the owner of it, are still suspended.

Lerroy, Jenkins,

Where is the full lenght video of this interview?
Why hasn't it been released yet?

jj, Atlanta, Ga

Scientolofy is pathetic in its half-witted attempts at sabotage and censorship. The saddest part is, that by taking down the video (which was viewed more than 500 000 times in the 48 hours it was up) they have blown the story even wider. Major news outlets are covering the removal of the videos even more entusiastically than they did the actuall video.

David Suminona, Netherlands, Amsterdam

Thanks for the report. YouTube acted quickly and allowed the video to be put back up. Scientology manipulates society similar to how authoritarian communist China tries to enforce it's authoritarian control. If YouTube wants to succede they won't censor, and smartly YouTube has re-allowed the video, good for them.
