So the bastard is still in, just keeping it real subtle.

I am SO UNHAPPY about this. I'll still buy his work but only second hand, and I'll never big it up in public again.

It makes NO SENSE. He is so in favour of free speech charities like the CBLDF and the ORG in the UK. I saw him speak to raise funds for ORG. Yet he supports the biggest free speech killer online?

Based on what Neil wrote, he must have loved his father, warts and all. That doesn't make him a Scio.

I don't like it. I wish it weren't so.

But dox, if you have them, that he isn't. I'd really like to buy the Annotated Sandman #3 and #4, you know.

Well after the events you mention, Mark Pope... claims on 4.4.1995: "Neil (Gaiman) is a long time Scientologist".

In 2004 and 2006 “The Gaiman Family” of the USA were awarded “Patron” and “Founding Patron” status. According to ex scientologist Jon Attack, “Patrons (are) the highest ranking membership - of the International Association of Scientologists.” They give the most money and the Gaiman's are right up there with the other celebrities.

Neil Gaiman's wife Mary was declared "clear" in 2002, 19 years after "they blew" to the USA. That same year Mary Gaiman was awarded The "Patron with Honors" according to the The Magazine of the International Association of Scientologists December Issue. Oh yeah, and just above her listed as "IAS Patron Meritorious" is Sheila Gaiman, Neil's mother.

Scientology Kills - IAS 2002

Why do people keep citing that in 1983 Neil Gaiman is declared "suppressive" when in 1988, FIVE YEARS AFTER THE DECLARE, Neil’s name appears in graduate lists in The Auditor Worldwide (published by AOSH UK) as 
Auditor #202 (copyright 1986). Neil is listed as completing three courses: the Hubbard Senior Sec Checker Course #222 (1988), the 21 Dept Org Board Course #227 (1988) and 
the Hubbard Basic Art Course. Gaiman's not out, he's attending courses like a good little Sceino robot.

If Gaiman is "out" in 1983, why is he taking Scientology courses in 1988 and listed in The Auditor? Seriously, do the math.

Or go to the Scientology Celebrity blog NOW and search Neil Gaiman who is listed on the Scientologists blog with links and Scienos gushing over how the "tech" works so well for Neil, including this remark from Scieno Grahame when asked about Neil: "My answer is that I heard from a close relative of his that he (Neil Gaiman) is taking services at Flag."

Celebrity Scientologists

Declares mean diddly, they are used as a form of control, as evidenced by Neil Gaiman's father, the infamous David Gaiman being declared suppressive briefly during the CMO takeover of the GO and now an OT VIII (having just finished a big course in 2007) and happily recruiting the RUSSIANS (see my earlier post). So where is this mythical declare on Neil Gaiman? Nowhere to be found.

It is naive to think Neil is somehow surrounded by high-ranking Scientologists, some of the biggest Scienos in the world, and yet not involved in the cult? Neil Gaiman is probably playing both sides, he never talks about it because he is deeply involved. He contributes money, big money and downplays his involvement, he is taking services at FLAG. He is a Scientologist who is either ashamed or is just a canny businessman who knows that his fans freak out whenever the obvious is brought up.

There have been a lot of great artists who are dorks. If Scientologists thought they could get money out of you, they would pretend they were ducks, so depending on the audience they will downplay their involvement. Tom Cruise downplayed his involvement until he was outed by journalist who were then fair-gamed.

The Gaiman Family USA is Neil Gaiman's family, NOT Gaiman's sister Claire Edwards, head of Scieno recruiting. See the ugliness for yourself.

Here is some of the Gaiman family money trail.

Neil Gaiman funds Scientology to the tune of six figures. The Gaiman family USA are listed as "Patrons with Honor" and "Founding Patrons"of Scientology for 2003, 2004 & 2006. According to ex scientologist Jon Attack, Patrons (are) the highest ranking membership - of the International Association of Scientologists.

The Gaiman Family USA are Patrons with honors, meaning they donate $100,000.00 on a regular basis, and that's just Neil Gaiman...

Patrons = a one time donation of 50,000 dollars. If more money is given the Patron status is upgraded to Patrons with Honors which is a one time additional donation of $50,000 dollars for a total of 100,000 dollars.

If more money is given the Patron is upgraded in status to Patron Meritiorious which is a 250,000 dollar donation (in total).

If the Gaiman family donated $100,000 to be a Patron with Honor it was only once and not on a regular basis.
