CCHR has gone "stealth" to reveal the REAL story that psychiatry is behind the pandemic... Not sure why they would not want everyone in the world to hear their vital message? Maybe it's such garbage they are afraid they will be laughed at? Only the already brainwashed will accept the drivel they dish up. You can bet there will be a heavy pitch for money. Every "briefing" in scientology is an attempt to get money for one thing or another. At the same time this pitch is happening, you know the IAS is sucking money out of people for exactly the same thing. … [Read more...]
Codependence in the Bubble
From long time commenter Clearly Not Clear. Codependence in the Bubble Being in a cult like scientology, is like being in a codependent relationship. I thought codependence had to do with living with an alcoholic or a drug addict. Evidently it can be more subtle. Here’s an internet definition: “Excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a partner, typically one who requires support on account of an illness or addiction.” – Google answer Let’s try that on with scientology - “Excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a cult like scientology, typically one who … [Read more...]
The Sole Cause of Decline in This Universe
Hubbard created an environment in scientology of "Us v. Them" -- a hallmark of cult indoctrination. You must have an "enemy" upon whom you can lay blame for all failure/terrible conditions and if you can then convince your followers that you are the only one who understands the dangers and can vanquish this scourge and set your followers free, then you have them hooked through fear. And if you can then also promise unlimited happiness/spiritual freedom/eternity then you have both the stick and the carrot. L. Ron Hubbard the "whole track SPs" as psychiatry. He at first sought their … [Read more...]
Occupy Territory
Scientology likes to say they are not trying to compete with psychiatry. But the reality is that despite Hubbard saying he had developed the Introspection Rundown and thus gotten rid of the last reason for psychiatry to exist, Hubbard's policy remains that no "institutional" cases or people with "psych histories" are allowed in scientology orgs. In 1972 Hubbard was intent upon using "Big League Sales" to get governments to offload psychiatry and take on scientology. No explanation though about what to do with those in institutions or needing treatment for severe mental … [Read more...]
Scientology in Germany
Though there are 3 "ideal orgs" in Germany -- Berlin, Hamburg and Stuttgart and 6 "regular" orgs -- Dusseldorf, CC Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hannover, Munich and CC Munich (3 of these really exist on paper only) — things remain moribund for scientology in the largest nation in Europe. No new orgs in Germany since the 1980's. None in the former East Germany ever. And some updated news as the Office for the Protection of the Constitution issued its latest annual report last week: Again in 2018, the Scientology Organization did not come closer to achieving its objective of establishing a … [Read more...]
Inside the Mind of a Scientologist
This is NOT a post about politics. This might just easily have been a scientologist's Facebook post about Pro-Trump people and Fox News as about anti-Trump people and CNN. What this Facebook post actually illustrates is the blinkers through which scientologists "see" the world. Anyone who disagrees with their view is "psych-controlled" and "bought by Big Pharma." These are the scientology boogeymen that "explain" all failures, all opposition and all that might be bad in the world. Literally. It's "The Psychs". Why this woman believes psychs are partial to CNN but not Fox News, or … [Read more...]
Scientology and Psychiatry
You trace what is wrong with this planet and you trace it straight to psychiatry. L. Ron Hubbard If there is one thing everyone can agree upon about scientology -- ardent fans and ardent critics alike -- scientology HATES psychiatry and all things psychiatric. Why? Hubbard originally sought the blessing of psychiatrists and the American Psychiatric Association for his theories in Dianetics. When they rejected him as a quack and Dianetics as "nothing but the bunk," they instantly became his sworn enemies. Overnight he shifted from seeking their approval and support to proclaiming … [Read more...]
Scientology Medical Quackery
Scientology is often criticized by those who claim it practices medicine without a license. They protest this heavily, claiming they do NOT treat or cure illnesses. Of course, in the scientology world, mental illness is NOT an illness. It is just a bunch of false labels used to persuade people to buy drugs (kind of like scientology is a bunch of false information used to get people to buy scientology)... In scientology, being prescribed a "psych drug" makes you an "illegal pc" ineligible for auditing (though plenty of illegal pc's have been persuaded to hand over money, only to later be … [Read more...]
Unnamed Sources
What are they afraid of by never including anyone's name? I'll tell you: Either the person does not really exist, and this is just made up copy like testimonials for the local greasy spoon written by the owner, his wife and family members, or They are scientologists who happen to be "a police officer" or a "crime documentary producer" (who makes videos for CCHR...), or The people who write these have NO IDEA they have anything to do with scientology, or that their statements are going to be used to promote scientology. If their name was included someone might contact them and ask … [Read more...]
Jeff Carlson Talks About Elli Perkins
Something a bit different, but newsworthy and interesting. Aaron Smith-Levin has just interviewed Jeff Carlson, the former ED of Buffalo Org and son-in-law of Elli Perkins who was murdered by her son. Though there has been extensive media coverage about this murder and how scientology contributed to the tragedy, Jeff has not spoken publicly about it before now. He decided to speak after watching The Aftermath. Aaron provides an introduction to the video: On Scientology & the Aftermath, Mike and Leah have consistently expressed their desire to not attack the beliefs of Scientology … [Read more...]
