This is the last post on this site. I have shuffled off this mortal coil in accordance with the immutable law that there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. The site will remain as an archive of more than 4000 posts and 300 thousand comments. It has been a labor of love and passion which has allowed me to speak my mind and offer my perspective with no outside filters. I have been lucky — living two lives in one lifetime. The second one the most wonderful years anyone could wish for with all of you and my new family! My only real regret is not having achieved what I s … [Read more...]
The Real Legacy of Scientology
L. Ron Hubbard made many lofty claims about what he would bring to the world. End war, insanity, cruelty, criminality and unhappiness. Not even a blip. He promised to raise everyone’s IQ, free them from fears, unwanted emotions, upsets, disease and usher them into an eternity of enlightenment and spiritual freedom. Instead, he created a bubble of people who lightened their bank accounts in exchange for status — on one hand certificates that recognized them for achieving states and abilities that they can never demonstrate and on the other handing out pins and bowling trophies for … [Read more...]

Hubbard on Lawyers and Litigation
This is a follow up to the recent post: Scientology Lawyers and Litigation A selection of his orders/dictates that must be followed to the letter in perpetuity. People attack Scientology; I never forget it, always even the score. People attack auditors, or staff, or organisations, or me. I never forget until the slate is clear. The DEFENSE of anything is UNTENABLE. The only way to defend anything is to ATTACK ...those who try to make life hard for us are AT ONCE at risk The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on … [Read more...]
Scientology Lawyers and Litigation
This is the third post in a series that began with Scientology's Cowardly Celebrities And continued with Scientology’s Cowardly Whales Prompted by Tony Ortega’s recent post below, Leah compiled and wrote most of this. Tony once again did an excellent job of exposing Scientology and its operatives, shedding light on the actions Scientology and its members have been carrying out for decades. Sadly, this is just one example of what Scientology continues to do, and will persist in doing-without government intervention It’s exhausting to keep sounding the alarm, only to see t … [Read more...]

Scientology Safe in US for 4 Years
Scientology has finally achieved "safepointing" the US government. It has been a dream for decades and the closest they have ever come in the past is getting John Travolta and Tom Cruise to canvass the State Dept to condemn Germany for "discriminating" against scientology in their country. With the election of Donald Trump, two high profile scientologists, Grant Cardone and Trish Duggan now have direct access to the President of the US. And he will dictate any actions of the Department of Justice -- his Attorney General will be a lackey no matter who it is. If he tells them to jump they … [Read more...]
An Update
I have just uploaded am putting out a series of short YouTube videos on my channel to update why I have been somewhat invisible recently. For all the people who have sent me messages of support and concern, this will explain, plus a lot more. This is the first of them -- you can access the rest on my YouTube channel from this one. I make reference to some things in these videos and am including them below: Redacted Colombia Email Tampa Bay Times article Sociopathy Series Sociopathy: What is a Sociopath?

Freedom Magazine Off the Deep End…
There have been plenty of unhinged articles published in Freedom magazine over the years, but this one just popped up and it is so absurd I thought it was perhaps a joke. Scientology has a long and well documented history of smearing reporters who say things they don't like. From Paulette Cooper to Anderson Cooper, Alex Gibney and John Sweeney... They have set their sights on Martha Ross who writes for the San Jose Mercury News. They target her for having an undisclosed "conflict of interest" in writing anything about scientology because: "Martha Ross and her husband, John Sterns, … [Read more...]

Grant Cardone Sucking Up To Donald Trump Hard
Grant Cardone is a big fan of Donald Trump like his big Scientology donor friend Trish Duggan. Cardone recently flew to California to speak at Trump’s Coachella rally. He is now promoting his appearance at an upcoming Madison Square Garden rally. I usually try to steer clear of things political here as it is generally off topic and tends to descend into back and forth name calling. But this stuff if putting it front and center, so here goes with my observations. As I have said before, many Scientologists are one issue voters — the fear and hatred of psychiatry … [Read more...]
Remember 6000 Predicted to Hunker in Ft Harrison Auditorium?
Remember the recent post (Hurricane Milton) where Lorianne Isaacson said there would be 6000 people sheltering in the Ft Harrison for the hurricane. It was ridiculous. Now the reality of the "6000" is laid bare. The idea that scientology is large and expanding, even in Clearwater, where they have been circling the wagons for years, is disproven daily. But not before a bit more magical scientology thinking about "admiring" the hurricane away. … [Read more...]

Scientology’s Cowardly Whales
See most recent post: Scientology’s Cowardly Celebrities. Along with those celebrities is the other category of major enablers who remain conspicuously silent in the face of the abuses; the financial supporters, especially the "Whales." Here is a list of the biggest supporters of the IAS Not by any means complete and it excludes anyone who has given less than $1 million (there are many). Most of those named below have also give a lot of cash to the “Ideal Org,” L. Ron Hubbard Hall, Planetary Dissemination, “4th Dynamic: campaigns” and various other fundraisers. The figures are just their … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Cowardly Celebrities
by Leah Remini and Mike Rinder The recent controversy surrounding Emily Armstrong’s role as the new lead vocalist for Linkin Park, paired with her status as a practicing scientologist, sparked public debate. Yet the real issue remains largely overlooked: scientology’s deeply ingrained culture of abuse, secrecy, protectionism, harassment, and retaliation. Members like Armstrong choose to remain silent, tacitly supporting an organization that not only condones but perpetuates a range of abuses. Armstrong’s post about not knowing Masterson’s history as a serial rapist is deliberately mislead … [Read more...]
