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”
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
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
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...]
New Haven “ideal org”
Scientology is making headlines in a new article the New Have Independent. They have owned the "new" ideal org for 20 years -- yes TWENTY and have done NOTHING with it. It was one of the early announcement that Miscavige made, touting his "ideal org" program, and even had a "fly-through" CGI video showing what the renovated building would "soon" look like. This and the Battle Creek Michigan "ideal" building are probably the two oldest unrenovated ideal orgs (unless you count Toronto which has been there since before the ideal org kick even started). The locals are not impressed. Here … [Read more...]
The Death of Shermanspeak
The passing of Dan Sherman shortly before we left for vacation marked the end of an era in scientology. Dan Sherman was an interesting character. He fancied himself a spy novelist, and took on the role of real life "agent" to establish a line with Gerry Armstrong when he was engaged in litigation with scientology. Sherman convinced Armstrong that he was in contact with "loyalists" who disagreed with the "new regime" of Miscavige and were working inside to overthrow Miscavige and the "new breed of management." Sherman was known as "Sheepskin" and he set up the meeting with Armstrong for me … [Read more...]
Scientology: Psychological Terrorism
The last in the "vacation series" — now home but haven’t yet had a chance to put together a new post. Stay tuned tomorrow for another new post. Scientology is the only organization claiming to be a religion that has it's own "intelligence"/dirty tricks branch. It is unique in that the "doctrine" of scientology (i.e. the written and spoke words of L. Ron Hubbard) contain directives for scientology to engage in intelligence activities, including gathering information, spying, executing operations to intimidate and ultimately destroy people and even framing them. You can read many of … [Read more...]
Stratospheric Expansion
This letter was recently received by one of our readers in Australia. They have entered the stratosphere and are building a whole new world of stability and command over the environment using the most powerful tech in the Universe. No hype here at all... Apparently they have "come up through" the Golden Age of Knowledge, the Golden Age of Tech II and the Ideal Org Strategy? Those things didnt "do it" but it is going to happen now. Not sure how they came "through" the Ideal Org Strategy when there are still 3 orgs that are NOT ideal and Sydney, Melbourne and Perth are ideal … [Read more...]

Revoke Scientology’s Tax Exempt Status Immediately
This was originally posted under the title: Auditing Scientology: Reexamining Tax Exemption Eligibility which was the title of the article written by Taylor Holley. I believe the ongoing public policy violations alone should be the immediate end of scientology's tax exempt status. Taylor points out how "Public Policy" has been narrowly interpreted to mean discrimination, but this is not what the intent of this regulation is. Spending tax exempt money to spy on people, smear and destroy them is NOT in keeping with "public policy." Scientology violates this every single day. The IRS sits on … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Disdain for Law Enforcement
This is an earlier post I am updating, along with a new YouTube video today. In the wake of the Danny Masterson rape trial (soon to be retried after the jury ended up hung), many are curious about scientology's position with respect to reporting crimes to law enforcement. Scientology responded to reports they forbid this in typical fashion -- quoting the LA Times: The Church of Scientology declined to comment on the pending criminal matter, but said the religion has no policy against reporting crimes committed by Scientologists to law enforcement. “Church policy explicitly demands … [Read more...]
The Black Bag Department
Reposting earlier posts during my vacation. I may do a YouTube piece about this, as it fits with the general theme of scientology Fair Game and disdain for the law... I just wasn't able to get one put together before I left. Marty has been doing a good job of exposing the unalterable policies of the church concerning dealing with perceived enemies. One aspect not much discussed is who are the "outside professionals" hired to do the dirty work. And while there is a lot that is done by Sea Org OSA staff, Class V (local DSAs like Mark Warburg and John Carmichael) and public … [Read more...]
L. Ron Hubbard’s Birthday
Today is L. Ron Hubbard's birthday. Born in Tilden, Nebraska on 13 March 1911, this may be the only consistently true statement he made about himself. I cannot think of a better occasion to recommend yet again, reading Russell Miller's excellent, unauthorized biography of Hubbard, Bare-Faced Messiah. Hubbard was always talking about "truth" and how important it is. His life was fictionalized by him for his own gain. Almost every aspect of it. Miller's thoroughly researched and documented account will put the lies to rest about Hubbard's life once and for all. What could be a … [Read more...]
Silicon Valley — Scientology Dead or Dying
There are 3 "ideal" orgs in Silicon Valley and a Mission. The last one to open was the "Silicon Valley" ideal, nestled right alongside the freeway and virtually inaccessible. But, it was a big enough building. AND it was close to Google HQ (on the other side of the freeway). So the grand announcements rang out that this ideal org was poised to rock the entire planet -- because of course they would be getting the brightest and wealthiest Google employees onto and up the Bridge and with that, they would be able to influence the world. How ironic that it is Google searches that are doing more … [Read more...]
Spring Break Vacation
Today, we are heading off on a 7 day cruise with the Headleys and Smith-Levins. The blog will go into "vacation mode" -- there will be some new posts, and I will also republish important articles from earlier -- though not the same ones I did when we took our cruise to Alaska last year. I will still moderate comments as I can -- probably not as fast as normal. I encourage you to read the republished articles again, even if you have read them before, as they contain important information. In some cases I have updated them. And one of them has an accompanying new video on my YouTube … [Read more...]
