Thursday Funnies

March 30, 2023 By Mike Rinder 17 Comments

  Of course. we kick off this week with the hype about the magnificent, epic, earthshaking, LRH Birthday celebration. Finally, the final component... How stupid were we, thinking the ideal org "movement" was the "final component" for Planetary Clearing? There is in fact a final component to the final component... And next year the final, final component will be the new "on Source" KTL because nobody who actually studied the OEC/FEBC had done KTL and that is why they couldn't apply the tech and the stats didnt go up... And after that it will be the now "on Source" False Purpose … [Read more...]

How Many Taxpayer-Subsidized Mansions, Homes and Offices Does A Dead Man Need?

March 29, 2023 By Mike Rinder 26 Comments

  This might seem like a foolish question -- but not when it come to L. Ron Hubbard. He apparently needs a whole lot of homes and even more offices... It is one of the lesser-known bizarre facts about scientology and the worship of L. Ron Hubbard that subsequent to his death (or in the words of David Miscavige he "discarded the body... he had used to facilitate his existence in this MEST universe," because it  "had ceased to be useful and in fact had become an impediment to the work he now must do outside of its confines”), many fully furnished mansions and lavish homes were … [Read more...]

Captain Miscavige Doing His Thing

March 28, 2023 By Mike Rinder 14 Comments

  We all knew that despite his protestations to the court that he really isn't a Florida man, Captain Miscavige has been hanging out in Clearwater for some time. He did the New Year's Event at Flag and now we have confirmation he also conducted the "March 13th" event in celebration of "Ron's 112 birthday"... Chicago is basically the only thing happening in the scientology world right now, so there are 3 different renditions of what the great man imparted to his faithful flock of mesmerized sheeple. First, from our old friend Dave Parker -- the first ED of the Chicago org back … [Read more...]

“Doctor” L. Ron Hubbard

March 27, 2023 By Mike Rinder 14 Comments

  L. Ron Hubbard referred to himself as a "nuclear physicist" and assumed the title of Doctor when it suited his plans to sell his "wisdom" to people. He authored a book, All About Radiation (no longer published because it was SO provably false) and delivered a series of lectures that he sold to the unsuspecting filled with his crazy theories about radiation -- cashing in on the fear of nuclear war in the 50's. He even claimed he was offered a position as a nuclear physicist by the US Government, but of course he turned it down. As is very well documented, he took a course in atomic … [Read more...]

Psychosomatic Conditions: An Analysis of Hubbard’s Claims

March 26, 2023 By Mike Rinder 24 Comments

   This article was sent to me by one of our readers, David Chirko. It is an academic analysis and thus rather dense and uses plenty of big words. It deserves to be recorded, it is thorough and cites to many sources, which in itself is an invaluable resource.     Psychosomatic Conditions and the Church of Scientology By David Chirko, A.B. chirkoart.ca Sudbury, Ontario, Canada Psychological Researcher/Author Professional Affiliate Member, Division 49, American Psychological Association   “Psychosomatic adj. 1. of or relating to the role of the mind…in diseases or … [Read more...]

Ex-Scientologists Who Have Spoken Out

March 25, 2023 By Mike Rinder 51 Comments

  I am publishing this here as it is an invaluable repository of information that should be as widely available as possible. Thanks to TrevAnon (Trevor Horn) for sending this to me. Along with this extensive list are two other invaluable lists below. This list represents more people than can be rounded up for an event at Flag these days. If you want to see the complete list, click here. And remember, this is the people who hav e bravely spoken out publicly. There are perhaps 10 times this number who have left and said nothing, For some further information about this list, you … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Scheme to Use Rape Victims for “Positive Press”

March 24, 2023 By Mike Rinder 19 Comments

    More scientology sickness hiding in plain sight. This is one of Hubbard's most important edicts on dealing with the media. It lays out scientology's policy on how to "control the press." It is the first policy in the "hat pack" of every scientology PR person.   This is not "historical" or "we cancelled that" (like they claim about the Fair Game policy). They proudly stand behind this and even more proudly follow exactly what it says in their day to day actions. If you want to read the whole thing, you can do so here: Scientology Five Press Policies I … [Read more...]

Thursday Funnies

March 23, 2023 By Mike Rinder 17 Comments

    Of course, Chicago is the main thing happening in the world of scientology right now, so a substantial percentage of the outpouring of promotional items relates to Chicago. The desperation to try to get a single org manned with enough people to fill it's unnecessary building is quite a sight to behold. The entire scientology organizational structure is focused on this and they cannot get it done -- what about "Clearing the Planet" if this is such a tough assignment.... I'm not including everything concerning Chicago because it's terribly repetitive, but I have included a … [Read more...]

More Hubbard Lunacy

March 22, 2023 By Mike Rinder 19 Comments

Leah reminded me of a piece of Hubbard crazy that I had totally forgotten about. This is CURRENT policy of scientology.   These are the covers he is referring to:     According to Ron, any Immigration Official seeing these covers is going to fall all over himself to let the good scientologist into their country. And he is SERIOUS.  Scientologists believe this is true because Ron said it is, even though by observation these paintings are middle-school level efforts, especially the boy looking out the window. How this image is supposed to cause … [Read more...]

Justice systems are "a cancer," and police and courts are composed of the "vicious and corrupt" according to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Bear this in mind as the retrial of #DJDonkeyPunch Danny Masterson unfolds...

How Many Taxpayer-subsidized Mansions, Homes and Offices Does a Dead Man Need? It turns out to be a LOT when it comes to #scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Once again, where is the #IRS? How is this a valid exempt purpose? https://youtu.be/JfmJHiGfevA via @YouTube
