They hawk a lot of really dubious stuff in the scientology world -- from $5,000 Easy Bake Mark VIII Sooper Dooper meters to "state-of-the-art" "Clearsound"CD players (?) to worthless "limited edition" prints of Hubbard sci-fi art. But there is perhaps nothing quite as useless as the "Hubbard Administrative Tech." For the "cheap", special holiday price of only $1300 you can get 12 volumes of secularized Hubbard drivel all for yourself. And for the very reasonable starting price of only $195 per year, you as an individual can buy the right to actually USE the "technology." And if you … [Read more...]

Leah Remini on Tom Cruise’s Rant
Tony Ortega posted something written by Leah to put the recent Tom Cruise rant into context. I think it is important information that should be shared as widely as possible. Perhaps there are some readers who come to this blog but don't visit Ortega's. Here is Tony's posting with Leah's statement in full. Leah Remini sent us this statement about Tom Cruise’s on-set rant that was caught on tape and released by the Sun yesterday… Tom Cruise claimed he does not get so much as a cold because of Scientology. All Scientologists believe that if they aren’t connected to what they label … [Read more...]
Solo NOTs – Top of the Delusional Bridge
The delusion is real in scientology. Here is a promotional video for the infamous "Solo NOTs" level that all scientologists must go to Flag to participate in. And though it is a "solo" level, meaning you use an e-meter to audit the invisible thetans in, on and around your body yourself, they require you to pay to do the auditing at home and also you must return to the "Mecca" every 6 months so you can pay them to sec check you on the meter to see if you have been good. It is one of the more lucrative (for scientology) levels on the Bridge. This video states right at the … [Read more...]
Episode 20: Jonestown Survivor Capt. Yulanda Williams
This week we welcome Acting Captain of the SFO Police Department, and survivor of Jim Jones People's Temple, Yulanda Williams. Yulanda has an incredible story that was only touched upon briefly in her appearance in the final regular episode of The Aftermath Season 3 Episode 13 Church and State. I will post a link here as soon as it's available: Yulanda's parents joined Jim Jones's People's Temple when she was young, and she eventually ended up in Guyana, where Jones told his followers he was creating the utopian society. Her story of how her family became involved and … [Read more...]
“Unemployed Blogger” Dominating Scientology
The huge, international scientology organization is at the mercy of an “unemployed blogger.” STAND League flounders as they are pressured to "handle" him. These are the real (if unspoken) headlines for STAND League’s latest attempted smear on Tony Ortega. To be fair, I will give them a point for using a decent photo of him. Not their usual style. But that is the only thing worth noting that is not a terrible lie. Obviously, Fast Eddie and his minions have gotten some heat from David Miscavige to "get effective" shutting down Tony Ortega. They have failed for more than a … [Read more...]
No International Events. No Fundraising!
This is now a bit old, but still telling. No international events: the only way Miscavige has to keep the sheeple convinced the scientology world is expanding faster than ever and that everyone wants Hubbard tech. Without the briefings, all they have is the evidence of what is happening in their own city, and that is invariably NOTHING. Those events are the propaganda machine that keeps scientology afloat. Without them, they must be hurting bad... You may recall they recently tried to substitute a video SuMP put together and call everyone in to watch it. They touted it as an … [Read more...]

I bear good news: RB welcomed a new member to the family this week. Thus, we have an oldie but goodie from the vast library of timeless RB comic gems. Congratulations on the new addition to the fam RB! … [Read more...]
Clearing the Planet is Hopelessly Bugged
The claim "we are Clearing our area" or "we are Clearing the planet" is almost a mantra inside the scientology bubble. It seems they believe if they say it often enough, it will make it true. What they are willfully oblivious to is the fact they are doing no such thing. And every measure of this is glaringly obvious. There have been no NEW Class V orgs opened since Taiwan. There are the same number of scientology orgs now as there were in the 80's. The number of missions is shrinking. So too Narconons and all the other front groups. There isn't a single Class V org in … [Read more...]
Peter Gillham 13 Nov 1927 – 6 Dec 2020
Peter's daughter, Janis, informed me that her father had passed away. She and her sister Terri and brother Peter, wrote this tribute and made this video. I have known the Gillham children for nearly 50 years. They are a wonderful family and have always been people I liked and trusted, both in and out of the Sea Org and scientology. Their father lived a full, accomplished and in many regards astonishing life, as they have documented below. Peter F. Gillham 13 Nov 1927 - 6 Dec 2020 Sadly, Peter F. Gillham at the age of 93, passed away on Dec 6 at 6 pm. … [Read more...]
