This is the sort of thing that is announced with enormous fanfare by the IAS with "this is what your donations buy". When something like this is found, CCHR jumps on it and claims it as a "psych prosecution" and not only that, it is "President of the Alaska Psychiatric Association." It will be added to other incidents they can scrounge up from anywhere they can find them and become part of a typical announcement in the category of "CCHR Wins" -- “this year more psychs were prosecuted than ever, a total of 1,047, thanks to the leadership of CCHR" and then at the end "You contributions to the … [Read more...]
CCHR Uses the NAACP
This was sent to me by long term contributor Clearly Not Clear, with an introduction. I don't think anything further need be said... Do you think the NAACP is aware that the church's CCHR outreach of conspiracy, is claiming a relationship with them? I wonder how long it took some flunky to comb the human rights websites, to come up with the statistics that they came up with, to populate this transparently topical plea for bucks. Or did they make some of this up for sensationalism? The psych part especially. Whether the stats are false or true, I find their grouping of all the stats about … [Read more...]
CCHR Hysteria
Snark of the day. This was the commentary that accompanied this piece from CCHR (Citizen's Commision on Human Rights) that had been sent to one of our faithful readers. Unfortunately, the bad news is, that unpaid and underpaid CCHR workers are tirelessly bombarding legitimate news, newsletter, and aggregating websites, and pseudo-news outlets, with their 'facts' which they don't fact check, at all. These overworked and understaffed decision-makers are just looking for interesting topics to publish in these COVID-19 times. CCHR's massive spewing out of their bullshit articles are clearly … [Read more...]
Secret CCHR Briefing
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...]
