Another recent tweet from the genuises at STAND League led me to yet another of their brain-addled articles. John Logothetis has apparently caught some sort of mental incapacity from riding in Rodger Clark's clown car of flawed logic... As a note, right at the outset, he excuses the "professional critic" who gets paid for their "opinions." Of course, he must know that this is scientology's repeated claim about me and Leah. That we are simply "paid critics" who have nothing better to do than make a buck off "scientology's good name." But don't think he actually … [Read more...]
What’s Up With Scientology TV?
STAND League makes a big deal out of the "ratings" of The Aftermath and A&E. Still at it more than a year after the last episode aired. This is one of their recent headlines, exhorting Disney to "pull the plug" on A&E. The hypocrites at STAND proclaim "the audience has spoken and they reject hate speech"... Actually, the audience spoke and made The Aftermath the biggest hit A&E had when we were airing -- though Live PD had higher audience numbers, The Aftermath was their "prestige" show. Emmy nominations across 4 years for 3 seasons and numerous other awards … [Read more...]
Scientology Hates “Experts” — Unless They Are Paying Them
STAND League is a constant source of ideas of what should be discussed about scientology. They accuse others (usually Leah Remini and me) of exactly what they are doing. They rail again anti-Semitism, it spurs me to write about scientology and the NOI. They complain about "anti-religionists" it prompts something about what Hubbard had to say about religion. Scientology is "fun" - brings on a post about disconnection and crush regging. And now I noticed this one. Rest assured, every one of the "experts" scientology touts is paid. Massimo Introvigne of CESNUR., Gordon Melton, Brian Wilson … [Read more...]
COVID – 19 Propaganda
Someone sent me a link to this new "book" about how wonderful scientology is for their brilliant handling of the COVID-19 situation. But of course, nobody gives them credit for the amazing job they have done. This lady seems to be trying to make a case for the enormous aid that scientology has provided. I doubt she has seen any such thing herself, but has just glanced at some photos and videos of Defcon7 spraying in some outpost in Africa, and just "knows" this "sort of thing" is happening all over the world, because after all, the VMs ARE the largest private relief force on earth (if you … [Read more...]
STAND is Woke
OK, so a little more from our friends at the STAND League. The "Reverend" Ed Parkin has some vetted and cleared "volunteers" who write things for him and they put them on their STAND League blog. It is pretty much inevitable that every item somehow worms its way to rail against Leah Remini (and often me). No matter what piece of news or view they are expressing, somehow all roads lead to Remini and Rinder. This is one of their latest pieces. And I comment on a few notably ironies within it. It doesn't matter who Liv Watson is. All OSA flunkies are the same. They might sometimes write … [Read more...]
Why Would Anyone Want To?
Why would anyone in their right mind want to enter a scientology propaganda center, let alone during a pandemic? This "Scientology Information Center" is in the lobby of the old Clearwater Bank building. It is the ONLY scientology "church" building you can walk into off the street in Clearwater. You cannot enter the Ft Harrison hotel, the Super Power building, the Sandcastle, Oak Cove, Osceola, West Coast, old Lee Arnold building, Coachman or any of the other buildings scientology owns in Clearwater, despite their claim of being "open" to the community. The ONLY building you are allowed … [Read more...]
STAND League Clickbait
Apparently desperate to get some attention... This is how far down the tubes they have gone? A ridiculous headline that would shame the National Enquirer. And this is the text of the "article." It has absolutely no point. I suppose they think it's funny? Scientology are not renowned for their sense of humor. Secret documents obtained by this blog reveal that evil space mutants intent on the destruction of Earth have been secretly controlling the National Enquirer (purveyor of such scoops as “Adam and Eve Were Astronauts”) since 1999, when David Pecker (we do not make this … [Read more...]
Scientology’s White Savior Complex
Karen De La Carriere alerted me to this video that was posted on YouTube on 18 May by SkepticShe. I was not familiar with Lauren before seeing this. Obviously she has done previous videos of interest that I will catch up with. Her irreverent honesty reminds me of one of my favorites -- Carrie Poppy of Oh No! Ross and Carrie fame -- though Lauren is much snarkier. Anyone who reads this blog knows I have a snarky streak and I enjoy her mastery of the snarky burn. Lauren analyzes the "Decade in Review" International Scientology News that is a rehash of the "big" New Years event. Her take … [Read more...]
Fast Eddie Parkin: Scientology Sockpuppet Hypocrite
The sockpuppet who heads the "Stand League", Ed Parkin, is the poster child for scientology crazy. Fast Eddie has been a low-level gofor in the Office of Special Affairs for many years. As I recall, he started out as Heber's administrative assistant sometime in the late 80's or early 90's and has remained a drone since then. He is the "face" of the "Stand League" and he has his "own" Twitter account. Though I have never commented on any of his posts, and he tweets at me often, he has me blocked. So do the Stand League. And like the Stand League and every other OSA twitter account … [Read more...]
Scientology “Tech” Backfires Again
Marlow Stern has written quite a number of stories relating to scientology. They have often questioned scientology's practices and have failed to regurgitate the scientology propaganda they try to feed the media. That makes him an "enemy." And what does Hubbard say about enemies? You threaten what they seek to protect and cost them their jobs. See this post for the exact words from Hubbard: Dealing with Critics of Scientology: The L. Ron Hubbard Playbook What never ceases to amaze me is how proudly scientology comes right out with the very worst of themselves, proving time and time again … [Read more...]
