The Tony Muhammad (now known as Abdul Malik Sayyid Muhammad) story continues to grow stranger and stranger. You have to wonder whether he is abandoning his NOI beliefs or faking his scientology ones? Of course, he has not yet been exposed to the "Wall of Fire" and the Xenu story. That is going to be a moment of truth. Can he buy into this when it is so contrary to fundamental NOI teachings? Will he try to span the widening gap between his two commitments? Will he still try to make money as an FSM for scientology and fall away from his NOI connections? Will this affect the lower level NOI … [Read more...]

They're hopping in Brisbane... All 10 of them. They're heading for Planetary Clearing in no time with this army. Dianetics hitting the streets in Chicago Wonder if they actually sold a book? Graduation? I thought that was for people completing auditing and courses? The Chanman cometh Take your life to the "next level"... Whatever that means. The 'home stretch" Yeah, they've been saying that for a year now. If you've read History of Man, you'll know what I mean... Oh dear. You mean you think that is … [Read more...]
Alex Gibney Urges IRS to Revoke Scientology’s Tax Exempt Status
A recent interview with Alex Gibney in Rolling Stone where he was asked the following question, jogged my memory. I had the pleasure of seeing Going Clear at its Sundance premiere, which was pretty wild. Is Scientology still on your case? And I’ve done a lot of reporting on Scientology as well, so what’s it like to see Tom Cruise still be the king of Hollywood? It seems he hasn’t had to answer a single question about this stuff in the eight years since Going Clear. I agree. And I’m kind of surprised. I think he took a step away, so he’s not the kind of ambassador for Scientology tha … [Read more...]
ScientologyTV “All New Season”
Well, the "All New Season" of scientologyTV was an underwhelming flop. We have a LOT more new and original programming on SPTV. This is what is listed as the programming when I clicked on the site. "A Description of scientology" which has been aired several times a day every day since they started their "TV channel." Then a tour of the Sydney "ideal org" -- really a sort of travelogue of the city itself. Don't know if it was there previously, they have had these videos about "orgs" since day one and they all look the same other than the city they are in. Then they have 3 "shows" … [Read more...]
How Many Sea Org Members Are There?
According to the good people at AOSHUK, there 6,800 Sea Org members on earth. This is of course a high number -- every number scientology proffers is inflated. It is just how things are done. But let us take their hype figures at face value. Even they admit that every SO member is going to be responsible for clearing more than 1 million people. ONE MILLION. They have not cleared 100,000 people with ALL Sea Org members and all staff in 73 YEARS. They are so far in left field they are not even in the same country, let alone the stadium. If we give them the benefit of the … [Read more...]

The “OT Bubble” Miscavige-Movie-Thon
It seems scientology has reached new depths of cult-leader worship. Captain Miscavige has officially become the only person who matters in the world. The source of all wisdom and inspiration. The man who can do no wrong and may not be questioned. It is he, and he alone, who is "keeping the show on the road." It was he who was "gearing up for planetary expansion" (as he shut scientology down harder than than any circumstances required, mostly to cover up the fact that the "Chase Wave" required wholesale removal of registrars and executives to avoid a catastrophic prosecution). And … [Read more...]

It's ALWAYS "around the corner" Or "coming up." Never happening NOW or "already happened." Why is it just the same 4 "beautiful people"? Isn't there anyone else in Vancouver? Good luck with that... They're about as valuable as last week's newspaper. Going back to the 50's Scientology has been stuck in the 50's, well, since the 50's. You need a Class IX to explain this? That's what the Comm Course supposedly teaches you? Power Up Your Life? They bring in someone from Twin Cities -- one of the deadest of the dead … [Read more...]
