The Hollywood Reporter published an open letter written by Paul Haggis this morning. In typical Haggis style, he zero'd in on the crux of the matter and showed himself once again to be a man of principle and dignity who clearly articulates his calm and well reasoned points. Of course, Karin (David Miscavige) Pouw just HAD to respond. In a page out of their normal "attack the attacker" playbook, they launched an illogical, poorly composed ad hominem assault on Paul Haggis. It does not respond to a SINGLE POINT of his Open Letter. It is so ridiculous that I am reprinting it here in full. Th … [Read more...]
Piss on The Psychs
A short commentary from a local Correspondent. The bubble world is becoming more fundamentalist: Mike, There I was minding my own business, driving up a street in Clearwater today when I noticed a sticker on a van window two cars ahead. At first, I thought "uh?", then it hit me - WTF?!?!?! I have never liked the stickers of a little s%^&head micturating on some other symbol (i.e., a Ford pick up will have a sticker of this character voiding on the Chevy symbol, etc.); I find it offensive actually. It remains me of high school punks who compulsively tried to create effects - ver … [Read more...]
Brainwashing — The Proof
The Corporate Church of Scientology is going all out to attempt damage control internally on the withering blasts that have been exposing some of the nasty, not to be spoken about underbelly of life in corporate Scientology. We see the media "handling" of claiming its all just lies made up by a couple of "self-promoting bloggers on the fringe of the internet" or a "small handful of bitter, defrocked apostates", but where the real panic is occurring is in trying to keep the faithful on board. The Ethics Officers are working overtime, but Miscavige's personal troops, the "OT Ambassadors" are … [Read more...]
Let The Sliming Begin
The Dark Side of the Radical Church of Scientology is revealing itself piece by piece. Today, sort-of-celebrity Stacy Francis took a cheap shot at Nicole Remini after she spoke up in support of her sister. And with that the sliming of Nicole has begun. In a non-sequitur, offensive tweet, Francis put on display the level of hatred the church of Miscavige expects from those seeking to prove themselves “on the team.” One is supposed to "take off the gloves" when someone has been labeled “fair game” (meaning “connected to someone who is no longer toeing the party line). Francis decided that thr … [Read more...]
Pinocchio Pouw “Speaks” UPDATED
Miscavige and his pinocchio sockpuppet letter signer, Karin Pouw, are getting closer and closer to calling Leah Remini a liar. Their latest effort at damage control is reported in the NY Post: “We won't dignify the myths, radio gossip, rumors and off-the-wall tabloid tales that have their origins with self-promoting bloggers living on the fringe of the Internet.” Pouw also emphasized, “We would appreciate if you run this verbatim.” The carefully selected words and structure of the sentence is classic Miscavige. Though thinly veiled, this is not literally a frontal assault on Leah. It blame … [Read more...]
Nicole Remini
While I am trying to catch back up, I once again recommend everyone read Tony Ortega's interview with Leah's sister today. GREAT reporting and a lot of fascinating insight.... Thanks Tony. And thanks Nicole. Wish I had a sister like you! … [Read more...]
Disconnection? No Such Thing….
Watching the saga of the church of Scientology deal with Leah Remini and her family unfold is like watching a clogged toilet overflow. The inevitable unfolds before your very eyes and you know nothing is going to stop it. You know exactly what's coming and hope by some miracle that it will stop before it overflows and the shit goes everywhere. See the story this morning on Tony Ortega's site about the orchestrated campaign to turn Leah and her family into "unpersons". The RCS in its typical style is not just overflowing, they are backwashing their entire septic system over the ai … [Read more...]
Church of Computer Generated Imagery
Bomb is loaded. Until it hits the ground, here is a little something to go on with....The latest angle on "PR by redefinition of words". What you get is not an ORG, it is wood floors and a reception desk. With a completely disrelated quote that gives the gloss of "On Sourcyness". Funny, it IS "what your donations buy" -- MEST. And its even degenerating into PICTURES of MEST. But not even REAL pictures. It is mock ups of MEST generated by computers. And that pretty much says it all about the Church of Scientology today: Creating mock ups of MEST. Perhaps they should get their PR … [Read more...]
Handling For All The “Entheta”
This is the email being urgently sent around to "handle" the entheta "that comes up in your life" (ie if you have been anywhere near the internet, TV or print media over the last week). The "positioning" game is going full roar. By their very actions the church are PROVING exactly what Leah said. When she asked "Where's Shelly" Tommy Davis told her its "above her fucking pay grade" to even ask and she ended up being sec checked.... For expressing concern over the whereabouts of someone she had known for MANY years. Of course, such a question is only "entheta" if it misses the withholds of … [Read more...]
Leah Remini Statement
For anyone who has just emerged from an isolation chamber, or if you don't read ANY media or look at Facebook or Twitter and rely on finding out what is happening in the world here (you really need to do something about that...) I republish the statement Leah gave to the press last night. It is to the point, sweet and classy -- just like her. "I wish to share my sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the overwhelming positive response I have received from the media, my colleagues, and from fans around the world. I am truly grateful and thankful for all your support." All one need do is l … [Read more...]
