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...]
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...]
Thursday Funnies
Free Dinner Really wonder if anyone shows up to these things... Native American dance -- do not want to miss! Battling for a lost cause. More dinners on offer Double Dipping You need to be an IAS member AND a local Malmo org member? This quote... Presented with "much love" Why? Because it's cheaper than anywhere else Their unattainable target Flag has 25K SNOTs, AOLA has 150 Solo auditors. 250 is such a drop in the bucket it won't accomplish anything even if they make this impossible … [Read more...]
Thursday Funnies
The Chan Man is back He is playing football for freedom now? I suspect he is not very good... But there is a free dinner. So maybe some hungry people will come. I get invitations like this all the time -- free dinner and we get to pitch you on our MLM scheme, Time Share, investment planning options or funeral service... Oh-oh... No confidence all those OT VII and Superpowered people aren't going to be able to keep the place safe even though the predictions are that it will NOT hit Tampa Bay? And why move it to the Mission and charge an entrance fee and not offer food? … [Read more...]
An Event You Don’t Want to Miss
Scientology advertises every event as "epic," "monumental" etc etc and every one of them is something nobody can afford to miss. But this one stands out. "In support of the Gothenburg ideal org" it promises to be memorable if only for the choice of title. It is also interesting as there is not a peep about the "ideal org" in Stockholm -- which should be where the effort to build a second ideal org (after Malmo) is directed -- the capital, cultural center and largest city in Sweden. But back to the "Have You Lived Before This Life" event. There used to be a book of that title published … [Read more...]
Trish Duggan Throwing Her Political Weight (Money) Around
This article recently appeared in local Florida media It states the following: A political committee linked to Gov. Ron DeSantis raised more than $1.11 million from Aug. 24 to 30, and the bulk of it came from one local Scientologist megadonor. Most of the money received during the period came in a $1 million contribution from Belleair Shores resident Trish Duggan, who is also the "world’s top donor to Church of Scientology," reports the Tampa Bay Times. The Times also reports that she and her now ex-husband, billionaire venture capitalist Bob Duggan, have donated more than $3 … [Read more...]
More on High Conflict Personalities
This is a follow up to an earlier post on this subject. High conflict people (HCPs) tend to have four characteristics: 1) Preoccupation with blaming others; 2) all-or-nothing thinking and solutions; 3) unmanaged or intense emotions; and 4) extreme behavior and/or threats. This is not a diagnosis, but rather a description of conflict behavior. However, those with high conflict personality patterns often have personality disorders, which is a diagnosis. This means that they have an enduring pattern of dysfunctional interpersonal behavior. The personality d … [Read more...]
