					<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, this is an oft-heard phrase in the scientology bubble. &#8220;Ron says&#8230;&#8221; or &#8220;Do what Ron says&#8221;. It does not matter if what &#8220;Ron says&#8221; is gibberish or pablum or ridiculous. The fact that HE said it makes it worth repeating and recognizing as an invaluable tool for life. The quote above is a classic [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is an amazing piece from Jeanie Franks/Bogvad&#8217;s current husband. It is a distillation of how fundamentalist scientologists view the world and their role in it. First off for every good scientologist, an &#8220;LRH quote&#8221; must set the stage and prove to everyone how &#8220;On-Source&#8221; you are. It is proudly proffered, without irony, to demonstrate [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Tony Ortega has a must-read article on his blog this morning. Researcher R. M. Seibert obtained Freedom of Information Act documents from the FBI about the &#8220;ops&#8221; (the scientology term &#8212; short for operations &#8212; to describe campaigns against enemies) against former Clearwater Mayor Gabe Cazares. The stories about what was done to Cazares are [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Just some random thoughts. Super Bowl ads: What a colossal waste of money. IF scientology really had an interest in &#8220;humanitarian works&#8221; they would not spend a dime buying airtime to pat themselves on the back &#8212; because the money would be needed for their humanitarian works. In fact, these ads serve absolutely no purpose than [&#8230;]]]></description>

This is an example of a scientology fundamentalist (he also happens to make his living collecting donations for his &#8220;psychsearch&#8221; business in addition to being the &#8220;Overt Data Collection&#8221; guy for OSA Flag).

					<description><![CDATA[This quote from L. Ron Hubbard encapsulates what fundamentalist scientologists believe as an article of faith. They are literally the only people on earth with access to ALL knowledge and without scientology,  every wog is ignorant and blind. This is not really unusual in the world of the fundamentalist &#8211; so too go the fundamentalist [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here are some more outrageous claims about Super Power, including from the mega whale himself. The most outrageous statement is in the third paragraph. And the scientologists wonder why people think they are &#8220;anti-doctors&#8221; and the church loudly proclaims this to be a lie. Meanwhile they promote this sort of nuttiness Scientologists generally ARE &#8220;anti-doctor&#8221; [&#8230;]]]></description>
