Episode 0 (Introduction) is now available to download on iHeart and everywhere else podcasts are available. You can even google it directly. Unfortunately, the website that was going to accompany the podcast has been hacked and sabotaged. Should be fixed in the next few hours and as soon as it is live I will update with the link here. Update: Site is now live. It is simply a resource for documents and will be updated as each podcast goes live on Tuesdays. Meanwhile, for those who are looking for the documents that are talked about in this episode, I have included them … [Read more...]

First Podcast Episode Available at Midnight EDT Tonight
The first episode of the new Scientology: Fair Game podcast will be available at midnight EDT tonight. (When iHeart says July 21st, they mean one minute past midnight, something I learned yesterday!) It can be listened to on ANY podcast App. Of course, if you don't already listen to podcasts, we would like you to download the iHeart App as they are the ones who are producing the podcast. But it can be listened to on iTunes, Spotify, Google, etc. etc. Anywhere you currently listen to podcasts will have Scientology: Fair Game, though the producers at iHeart told me it might take an hour or … [Read more...]
Theatre of the Absurd
As they become more desperate, the crazy becomes absurd. Their "successful action" is apparently to hold "potluck dinners" (success is, of course, a relative term). So, with typical scientology “enthusiasm” (Hubbard coined a term for this: "glee of insanity") they proclaim how excited they are to have a VIRTUAL potluck dinner where people share pictures of what they are eating. If The Onion ran a headline and article about virtual potluck dinners it would not seem out of place. That these deadly serious thetans are NOT joking and this is not a parody, is just sad. Involvement in sci … [Read more...]

Scientology’s “State of the Art” Technology
This ad is so scientology. Caught in a time warp. They still send "telexes" and wash windows with newspapers. They have a hard time moving with the times. Literally nobody on earth uses CD's any more, but this is still promoted as the "ultimate high-fidelity system." It is not. It would be like them trying to sell rotary dial phones as the "ultimate" in communication technology. They even try make the "Clearsound" CD system seem so convenient because they all fit in the custom carrying case "with ease" (how could they NOT fit in the "custom case"?) Everyone else on earth … [Read more...]
This is the Freewinds — It’s Always About the Money
What the Freewinds has been reduced to... Hawking virtual seminars with AMAZING (all caps) "new speakers". Though there is not a single new speaker among them? And of course, they are all offering "business" expansion seminars -- they disguise their "learn how to make money" pitches as "expansion." Some talk about "prosperity" and one even explains that you can become the "Master of All Universes." Everything these guys is selling is designed to make it possible for you to pay for scientology. It's expensive. Especially when you get to the highest levels. People need hundreds of … [Read more...]
Hmmm, Something’s Not Right….
This is a recent promotional piece trying to persuade the sheeple to do a "chronological study" of the materials. Somehow, this seemed a bit strange to me, because this is a quote from 1973. These materials (apart from the books) were generally not available to the public then. So, I checked the quote. Lo and behold, it is about the BRIEFING COURSE, the course that Miscavige canceled a decade ago and has never replaced. Hubbard is referencing the 300+ lectures he delivered to Briefing Course students. It tells you how far from the Hubbard version of scientology the current … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Clearwater Scam
The scientology scam continues in Clearwater. How revealing this FB posting is. This public person is "helping" the Freewinds to get a 17 year old kid to the ship. She is begging someone to give him a room (if he is going to "pay" why isn't he just staying in a hotel?) and that's OK because "he is not going to be on services." For anyone who doesn't know this, people who come to Clearwater for services at Flag must stay in a scientology owned hotel. They would not want any of their money actually going INTO the community. Remember this City of Clearwater when scientology … [Read more...]
Scientology Front Groups
Scientology has many front groups that are designed to create the impression that the organization is a benevolent group that does good work in their community. I have noted many times that the "good work" does not happen if it cannot be documented by a video team who then use the video to fundraise and for propaganda pieces about the great things they are doing around the world. Here are some very recent pitches from some of their main front groups. They tell the sheeple literally anything to persuade them they need to participate — but if they don’t they are shamed into giving money. A … [Read more...]
