Here's a new one from a tipster in the Clearwater area: My friend got into an Uber and the driver handed her a scino booklet. See below. My friend immediately got into it with the driver asking why is she promoting a cult during her Uber experience. This is all pretty odd. Flag is NOT a place that wants new public. So, why promote it? As they aren’t trying to recruit, what is the QR code about on the front of this little booklet? Perhaps this is a "goodwill" item trying to get people to come visit the "Community Center" where they can be regaled with videos of the humanitarian works of … [Read more...]

Episode 47: The Life and Lies of L. Ron Hubbard Part 2
We continue with our deep dive into the life and lies of Hubbard with Jon Atack. Once again, we have quite a lot of documents to include -- but always at the top of the list are Jon's Let's Sell These People A Piece of Blue Sky and Barefaced Messiah by Russell Miller. I should also note that though we didnt mention it, for those of you interested in what Hubbard did or didnt do in the war, Chris Owen's excellent and thoroughly researched Ron The War Hero: The True Story of L Ron Hubbard's Calamitous Military Career is essential reading. Hubbard told so many lies about his naval his … [Read more...]
“We Wanted a Big, Booming Org” — And We Don’t Have One
Well, I have to ask. Where IS the big, booming org in London? (Or anywhere...) And what does a staff member completing the PTS/SP Course have to do with a big, booming org? Now she is going to be able to confront and shatter the suppression that is preventing the org from expanding? In fact, this course teaches scientologists to stay the hell away from "suppression" -- they cannot confront nor handle it, let alone shatter it. So, that isn't going to help... Once again, this is the blind sheeple demonstrating their cognitive dissonance. 40 years ago, Hubbard said in an LRH ED "we … [Read more...]
The Unhinged Rants Go On
The minions of the STAND League are always on the lookout for something to cry victim about. Wil Seabrook must have a big amends project he is trying to complete. He racked up a couple of hours and an item for his Liability formula ("I published an article attacking the SP's"). Even for the whiners at the STAND League, this one is really a stretch. Apparently, Kohler had the nerve to advertise in publications that run stories that offend scientology. Frankly, these days, just about every media outlet has something negative to say about scientology. So you could do an article like this … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Scientology Running In Circles. Literally
The "Cause Resurgence" Rundown is one of the greatest boondoggles scientology has ever foisted off as a "standard tech" "religious" service. The Running Program, as it was originally called, was used to punish crew at Golden Era who were, in the estimation of Miscavige, performing poorly. "Run around a pole until you get your shit together." The first person to do it was David Mayo, when he had been declared a terrible squirrel. Hubbard ordered him to run around a tree at Gold "until he wore a trench in the ground". He did so for weeks on end until he was physically spent. He escaped … [Read more...]
How Long Will They Try To Milk This?
They are still being "inspired" by their PR response to the pandemic? "Events are held daily".... meaning they put this on a video screen somewhere and if there is anyone who happens to be sitting around in the vicinity they count it as an "event." Everything scientology did to respond to COVID 19 was simply for photo and video ops -- and months after the fact they continue to try to beat the last whimpers out of this dead horse. It's only because they have nothing else to present as there is nothing happening in the world of scientology. The pandemic has proven there are only two things … [Read more...]
Episode 46: The Life and Lies of L. Ron Hubbard Part 1
Tonight we begin a new series of episodes we are calling "Deep Dives," where we take a detailed look at specific areas of scientology. It seemed only appropriate to begin with L. Ron Hubbard -- the "Source" of scientology and "Founder" from which everything flows. There is no way to cover his entire life in a single episode. Or even 5 episodes. We broke this into 2 parts, the first focused on his life and claims up to Dianetics. Even in two episodes we can only touch upon some of the highlights (lowlights?) as there is a great deal to know. If you have not already done so, I … [Read more...]
The “New” OEC — The Latest Wrong Reason Orgs Aren’t Expanding
Miscavige is finally rolling out the "new" OEC. This is the next "big thing" that is now going to guarantee his "ideal orgs" actually expand. It will be announced with great fanfare that Miscavige has "discovered" a new "why" for orgs not making it to St Hill Size. The "new" OEC will be presented by him as his brilliant solution. Just like the "ideal orgs" was a "solution" to the same problem almost 20 years ago "because they could not perform all the functions of an org" (supposedly because they didn't have enough room) and like an auditing session couldn't be delivered without an auditing … [Read more...]
Germany on Scientology
i Germany has just released its annual "Constitution protection report" for 2020. The last section of the report concerns scientology. One of our readers helped us with a translation: "Scientology Organization" (SO) The "Scientology Organization" (SO) intends to establish a worldwide "Scientology Society". The number of members in Germany in 2020, as in 2019, was around 3,500 people. In the year under review, SO online activity increased again as the otherwise usual information stands in cities throughout Germany could not be operated due to the corona pandemic. The SO … [Read more...]
