Orders of Magnitude
What is so sad about this is that they take themselves seriously. What is the correct estimation of effort to get the job done? The "job" they are referring to is attaining a "Cleared Planet." It's what every scientologist has in their mind as the ultimate objective of their efforts. "Correct estimation of effort" and "Orders of Magnitude" are Hubbard catchphrases that scientologists use routinely. In simple terms, this briefing is purportedly going to explain what they really need to have and do to Clear the Planet. Of course, it would be a momentous thing if anyone in scientology … [Read more...]
STAND League Outrage: Blocked on Social Media
Scientology hypocrisy on display for the world once again. Now they are whining about someone blocking their hate tweets! In this piece they attack Rick Caruso's campaign manager because an ad "outraged tens of thousands of scientologists across the city" (they couldn't gather tens of thousands of scientologists across the entire country at this point). And then he blocked some of them who called him a bigot: Shocked Scientologists took to Twitter demanding to know if the Caruso campaign approved of its manager blocking constituents after they called out his bigotry against … [Read more...]
A Billion Years Event: Scientology is Losing Its Mind
On Wednesday November 30th I am doing an event at the University of Pennsylvania with Professor Marci Hamilton. This is causing great consternation in the hallways of OSA/Stand League. They tweeted about it using my daughter's account and even created a new video where she whines how she just got a "copy and paste" reply to her form-letter complaint to UPenn. Seriously, only scientology could come up with something like this -- a whineTweet for Thanksgiving. I thought Thanksgiving was supposed to be a day when you remember what you are thankful for, not an excuse to circulate the … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies on Saturday
What Does It Take? A LOT more than 20 people posing for a photo... It's why you are still not done 20 years into this program. Listen to Mr. Alistair Bennet And he knows? Because he has a Sea Org belt on? A Fundamental M/U Black Friday is supposed to be where you offer big discounts... Inspiration? More like desperation to get anyone to attend... The Chan Man Cometh All the way to Melbourne? Wonder who is paying for this? Thanksgiving Potluck? I thought it was supposed to be a turkey … [Read more...]

Happy Thanksgiving
For all of you in the United States, have a wonderful Thanksgiving today with family and friends. We will be celebrating with Mary and David Kahn, Aaron and Heather-Smith Levin (and girls) and Mat Pesch and Amy Scobee. We have a lot to be thankful for. If you have your family in tact, cherish them. For those who have suffered the loss of disconnection, keep the faith that eventually they will see the light and you will be reunited. In the meantime, appreciate the family and friends you do have in your life. I will publish the Funnies on Saturday. Over at the Underground Bunker, … [Read more...]

L. Ron Hubbard on the Christianity “Cult”
Here is another quote from L. Ron Hubbard expressing thoughts about Christianity: “It’s an interesting thing that there exists on Earth a cult which believes a hundred percent that it has the only god there is in this universe. And this is quite an interesting thing. See, this is terribly interesting. Anybody who says he has a total monopoly on all there is of something, which you can’t weigh, see or measure, is suspect. Christianity’s gain in the world and its departure from its own announced principles were in the main in the direction of control…It is not even a major group today in Europea … [Read more...]
Scientology Internal Hype
Scientology is hyping a new link and video that purports to tell the world about their astonishing accomplishments. But really it is designed for the sheeple inside the bubble to convince them all is well in the world of Miscavigology. They spew out numbers that are unverifiable and are only accepted at face value by their own people and perhaps a few gullible individuals who want to hear that scientology will get them votes. I'm going to comment on some of this and I took some screenshots of notable things. Of course, "millions" have already watched this propaganda, including 16 new … [Read more...]
