The asbestos on the Freewinds, which do not exist and never have existed, are being removed by a team of asbestos removers. These asbestos removers are probably being paid to hang out and do nothing, since there are no asbestos on the Freewinds. This contract job was issued presumably because the Church of Scientology loves handing out money for no reason to completely random people.

Radar has it:

A special team from the United States, supervised by an independent bureau from the Netherlands, has arrived on the Caribbean island of Curacao to remove asbestos from Scientology Cruise ship Freewinds, according to Amigoe, the longest running daily paper in the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The Freewinds is still reportedly sitting high and dry at a Curacao facility owned by docking company CDM….

At 4 p.m. EST, Radar called and e-mailed a Scientology spokesperson who had previously claimed the boat was completely up to snuff and on schedule for renovations—the Church was advertising a cruise departing May 7 (tomorrow). about the looming asbestos issue at about 4 p.m. EST. We did not immediately hear back.

I look forward to hearing the response of the Iraqi Information Minister Karin Pouw about this non-existent issue.
