Tampa Bay Magazine: Scientology Edition
This month's edition of Tampa Bay is evidence of how hard scientology is still working to "safepoint" the Clearwater community. There is a concurrently published YouTube video on this subject: Tampa Bay magazine is typical of this sort of publication you find in many major cities -- it's glossy pages feature full page ads for the restaurants they review, ads from realtors for the homes they highlight, ads from lawyers who write columns in the magazine and a bunch of "social" shots of the local luminaries attending events in the area. There is no real reporting, it's all puff … [Read more...]

The Scientology Way: Overpromise and Underdeliver

This is called rip-off. It is the exchange condition of robbers, tax men, governments and other criminal elements." This is today the hallmark of scientology. Taking money and delivering nothing. The latest promises concern the "National Church of Scientology for Australia." Canberra is a small city. Nobody ever goes there unless they have government business. Everything that happens in … [Read more...]

Some Scenes from the Circus Tent
The IAS circus came to town, complete with R6 angels, helicopters, movies everyone was required to watch. The sheeple filed in, subjected themselves to 3 hours of loud noises, flashing symbols and lies about their accomplishments, dutifully stood and cheered, whistled and applauded at all the appropriate times, then filed out again, re-dedicated to the idea that they alone are saving mankind. A few notable images below. Some of them we showed on the The Aftermath fundraiser yesterday. Mr. Tom Cruise was in attendance -- one person (appears to be one the Freedom medal … [Read more...]

A Committee of Evidence Explained on You Tube
Something a little different. It's not often we get to see a scientology "goldenrod" these days.
