I am publishing this here as it is an invaluable repository of information that should be as widely available as possible. Thanks to TrevAnon (Trevor Horn) for sending this to me. Along with this extensive list are two other invaluable lists below. This list represents more people than can be rounded up for an event at Flag these days. If you want to see the complete list, click here. And remember, this is the people who hav e bravely spoken out publicly. There are perhaps 10 times this number who have left and said nothing, For some further information about this list, you … [Read more...]
The Death of Shermanspeak
The passing of Dan Sherman shortly before we left for vacation marked the end of an era in scientology. Dan Sherman was an interesting character. He fancied himself a spy novelist, and took on the role of real life "agent" to establish a line with Gerry Armstrong when he was engaged in litigation with scientology. Sherman convinced Armstrong that he was in contact with "loyalists" who disagreed with the "new regime" of Miscavige and were working inside to overthrow Miscavige and the "new breed of management." Sherman was known as "Sheepskin" and he set up the meeting with Armstrong for me … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Disdain for Law Enforcement
This is an earlier post I am updating, along with a new YouTube video today. In the wake of the Danny Masterson rape trial (soon to be retried after the jury ended up hung), many are curious about scientology's position with respect to reporting crimes to law enforcement. Scientology responded to reports they forbid this in typical fashion -- quoting the LA Times: The Church of Scientology declined to comment on the pending criminal matter, but said the religion has no policy against reporting crimes committed by Scientologists to law enforcement. “Church policy explicitly demands … [Read more...]
LA County Sheriff’s Department Still Shilling for Scientology
I was surprised to see one of the scientology OSA Bots retweet something about the scientology Super Bowl ad from something calling itself MultiFaith CPAC. Anyone who watched the game no doubt saw the Jesus Gets Us ads and this group put the scientology ad into the same category of "religion represented well." It's impossible any organization not influenced ("safepointed") by scientology would put out such a tone-deaf and ridiculous tweet. This is their Twitter home page: As you can see, it is a Council of the LA Sheriff's Department! Scientology has had a long history with … [Read more...]
More Scientology Desperate “PR”
The desperation is oozing out of the bubble as scientology becomes more frantic trying to salvage their dismal PR in the eyes of the world. Because they don't actually DO anything good that is newsworthy, they resort to sending out paid press releases to try to get some coverage. Within the bubble, they blame the lack of media coverage on the "Chaos Merchants" run by SPs -- of course they are not going to cover the good works of scientology! They are blind to two obvious contradictions -- you can find plenty of stories by those same chaos merchants about the Red Cross or Salvation Army or … [Read more...]
Scientology Haters Gonna Hate
Haven't gotten around to this one until now. A journalist tweets about the Jerrod Carmichael joke at the Golden Globes and the 3 usual "STAAD League" bots rise up as one (they probably are literally one person in OSA Int) to scream their disgust and accuse him of bigotry. "A lady living a great private life away from the unstable" -- wonder who came up with that piece of idiocy? The people writing these tweets have never even laid eyes on Shelly Miscavige. They know absolutely NOTHING about her life. But they believe everything they are told. This statement … [Read more...]
Photos and Videos
I have noted many times that the "humanitarian" and "4D campaigns" engaged in by scientology are simply photo and video opportunities that are then used for fundraising pitches. It's a repeated pattern that permeates all aspects of scientology. Staged events for video footage. Even inside the orgs we have routinely seen announcements for people to "come on course because SMP will be here filming," or "we need people to gather on the street in front of the org for an SMP shoot." But the Volunteer Ministers/Drug Free World/Youth For Human Rights/Way to Happiness activities are the ultimate … [Read more...]
Scientology Internal Hype
Scientology is hyping a new link and video that purports to tell the world about their astonishing accomplishments. But really it is designed for the sheeple inside the bubble to convince them all is well in the world of Miscavigology. They spew out numbers that are unverifiable and are only accepted at face value by their own people and perhaps a few gullible individuals who want to hear that scientology will get them votes. I'm going to comment on some of this and I took some screenshots of notable things. Of course, "millions" have already watched this propaganda, including 16 new … [Read more...]
Karen Bass — L.A. Mayoral Candidate
Scientology has become a key issue in the LA Mayoral race between Karen Bass and Rick Caruso. Of course, scientology is freaking out as their "good name" (haha) is being used to smear opponents. It stems from Karen Bass' ill-advised participation in a 2010 ribbon cutting ceremony for the "new" LA Org building (the building was not new of course, just refurbished). This came up two years ago when Rep. Bass was touted as a possible VP candidate to join the Biden ticket. I have some relevant information on this matter, both from my time in scientology and subsequent to this becoming an … [Read more...]
Where Did Scientology’s Spokespeople Go?
You used to see scientology spokespersons in the media. I was one of them for many years. So was Heber Jentzsch. I escaped. Heber was put in The Hole and became so physically incapacitated he could no longer appear in public (and Miscavige didn't trust him anyway). Tommy Davis was the "it boy" for a while, but he also departed, though he remains a Miscavige brown-noser ion his post-Sea Org life. If you look on the scientology website they list a number of "spokespersons" who actually don't speak: Karin Pouw was never allowed to talk publicly, though her name … [Read more...]
