Scientology's international headquarters, and the center of so much of the physical abuses, mental torture and human trafficking over the years, sits in the center of Riverside County CA. Yet, in all this time, no government agency has done anything to curtail the abuses that have been occurring under their noses. Not the Riverside County Sheriff's Office, nor the District Attorney's Office nor the Adult Protective Services. Nobody. Meanwhile, scientology seeks to influence officials in Riverside. Tony Ortega wrote an article about this just prior to the election in November … [Read more...]
The IAS is Shrinking
Here is a truth you can always rely upon. Nothing in scientology is free. They give NOTHING away, unless it is some sort of loss leader to put you within striking distance of a reg to get more money from you. Thus the "Free Personality Test," "Free Introductory Lecture" and "Free Film." But once you are done with them, you PAY. No more free services -- because that would violate Hubbard Policy. Also part of the bait before the switch is the Free 6 month membership to the IAS. And when it comes to "nothing is for free" the IAS makes scientology org regges look positively warm and … [Read more...]
How Scientology Views Law Enforcement
In the final chapter of Introduction to Scientology Ethics, L. Ron Hubbard distills a lot of his thoughts on the subject of Law Enforcement, the Judiciary and the handling of justice in society. There are many other places where he says similar things -- some of the confidential advices and OSA issues are even more explicit, calling FBI agents "cockroaches" among other things. Hubbard's fear of the government, FBI, law enforcement, DOJ, IRS etc being after him is apparent starting in the early 50's and descended into complete paranoia by the end of his life. Realize this passage is from a … [Read more...]
Scientology: The No Responsibility Case
L. Ron Hubbard talks a LOT about responsibility in his scientology writings, and often laments the sad state of those who cannot be responsible for their actions. His derogatory term for this type of person is "a no responsibility case." This is a famous, and oft-used quote taken from Hubbard's Advanced Procedures and Axioms book: A soldier shot on the field of battle may "blame" the sniper, the Selective Service, the stupidity of government, but he nevertheless had full responsibility not only for being there and getting shot but for the sniper, Selective Service and the stupidity of … [Read more...]
Empty Buildings, Empty Promises
The saga of empty "ideal" orgs continues. Miscavige shows up to yank his ribbon, they import people from out of town to make a "crowd" -- always inflated by a factor of at least 5 -- they take photos and video and then the circus leaves and things settle back into the normal void on nothingness it always was. Except the few footsteps echo in large, deserted marble halls now, instead of the moldy carpets of an old strip mall. Desperate to get anyone to come into their empty palace, they start promoting for people to hold "events and functions" -- because they don't know what else to do … [Read more...]
Fast Eddie Goebbels
Fast Eddie is a one-man dumpster fire of crazy. His tweets become more and more unhinged as he frantically tried to think of something to say that is going to get anyone to believe that the abuses (and policies) exposed on The Aftermath are not the truth. I am variously a bobblehead, wife-beater, liar, Big Pharma Whore, bigot, anti-religionist, hater and now Goebbels protege. Now, if we apply a little of Hubbard "technology" of a "criminal accuses others of what he himself is doing." This is the entry on Goebbels from Wikipedia: Paul Joseph Goebbels was a G … [Read more...]
Regraded Being
Thursday Funnies
There are a lot of postulates happening this week... Reg Event When an event is put on by the FSC Office -- you know it is for only ONE purpose. This makes sense... To nobody. Let's make Brisbane ideal -- because we are proud of a dingo fence? You know this would be the same reason Adelaide and Canberra should be ideal. They too are protected by the same fence... Clear the dingos! Come as your alternate identity Wow. Talk about out of valence... No reason for them But as Ron says, letters out = Gross Income. So, we will just … [Read more...]
St Louis Blues – An Epic Ideal Org Scam
In truth, every "ideal org" is a scam -- but some are scammier than others. Boston comes to mind. New Haven and Battle Creek that have sat empty and neglected for more than a decade. But St Louis might be the greatest scam of idealiness of all. In terms that scientologists can really relate to -- it is epic, monumental and watershed. Here are a few relevant details: In 2007 scientology bought a new building that was to become their "ideal org." In 2010, the org ED, Chad Lane, announces in the St Louis Post Despatch * "the nearly 65,000 sq.ft. building is the ideal size for expansion in t … [Read more...]
Holocaust Remembrance Day
According to Scientology and CCHR, this is a day to "honor survivors of human rights abuse". That is verging on holocaust apologizing -- calling the mass murder of millions "human rights abuse" is like referring to the Titanic as a "boating accident." They are also going to "challenge" the predjudice [sic], discrimination and hatred in our own society today. Here is a tough question for you Dakota. Are you inviting the Freedom Medal Winner Tony Mo to your event? Oh, looks like he is busy doing a speech elsewhere -- including on the poster promoting his speech some of the most disgusting … [Read more...]
