I remember well when the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) started its live coverage of the 134-hour voyage along the Norwegian coast line and fjords. I was spending time with my father in Norway during his cancer treatments and the Slow TV was running in the background at his home. It really had some mind quieting effects. The beautiful visuals and the classical music accompanying it.

Take a look at this one hour excerpt if you want to explore more:

What do you think, is this the new future reality TV?

Could this be the last photo of Heber as the president of the Church of Scientology?

The above photo (click to enlarge) was taken in Sri Lanka, January 15 of 2005. Heber made an official visit on behalf of the Church of Scientology. He visited the sites struck by the tsunami on December 26 of 2004. The Church of Scientology gathered volunteer helpers from around the world, and organized local groups that helped survivors in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia and India. I was one of them.

IAS (International Association of Scientologists) – A FRAUD ORGANIZATION

IAS claims to sponsor the volunteer helpers. It is a lie! I had a meeting with the IAS’s European office in Copenhagen, Denmark, before I went to Sri Lanka. I believed from what I had seen at the events, that the IAS sponsored campaigns like this. Especially a huge disaster like this one. At least so they say. What could be a more important campaign to sponsor? I mean, this was about saving lives. But no! They told me they had no money, so I had to finance the entire trip myself.

But IAS sure knew how to use footage from these sites to feed themselves. I was spending quite some time with the Golden Era Production, the Scientology film team in Sri Lanka. They took lots of footage of Scientology volunteers in action, for the IAS to show off their so called “sponsored” campaigns to the world! Excellent PR to extort more money from parishioners into the IAS slush fund.

Where are the other Scientology senior executives?

Heber is missing. The only person we see speaking at events today is David Miscavige, the pope of Scientology. Other executives have reportedly been confined within Scientology prison camps for months or sometimes years. Luckily, more and more people are managing to escape the iron grip of Scientology, and dare to speak out about abuses, lies, extortion, human trafficking, mind control and human rights violations.

Official statements from the Church of Scientology raise more questions than answers.
Please let us know, where is Heber?

UPDATE:

Let’s hear what Karen De La Carriere, one of the few highest trained Scientology counselors (Class 12 auditor), personally train by L. Ron Hubbard, has to say about this:

Geir’s father showed us placed where he and his parents used to live. Some places only accessible by boat. Many of which are vacated today. Bridges and tunnels have since been built to prevent people from leaving.

Here are some shots of the surroundings where we stay. A valley of grass fields and a fjord with mountains hiding behind clouds on both sides.

Long rocky beaches.

Growing grass to feed the animals. The weather is too harsh to grow ordinary crops.

Mountains hiding behind the clouds.

Mountains behind the house.

A hint of blue sky. More grass growing, and marshmallows too!

Rocky beach with colorful seaweed.

Surrounding landscape.

An abandoned farmhouse.

The midnight sun is behind those clouds somewhere. There’s daylight both day and night.

I want to share some snap shots taken around 9PM from the car:

They even sell stockfish (dried fish) snacks in the local kiosk:
