SuMP Wins “Awards”

October 7, 2020 By Mike Rinder 39 Comments

The latest Emmy for The Aftermath seems to have gotten under the skin of Miscavige. His multi-million dollar media "empire" (Scientology Media Productions) has been a dismal failure. No shows worth watching. No audience. Not a single Emmy nomination for anything, let alone a win. In fact, they don't even make any Emmy ballot categories to even be considered for a nomination. So we are now seeing them hyping the "dotCOMM" awards they garnered. You are no doubt wondering what a "dotCOMM" award is. Their hype machine spit out this description. So I took a quick look at the … [Read more...]

“Come On” Gibberish

August 15, 2020 By Mike Rinder 37 Comments

Word is going out to try to get people to come back into orgs to watch the screening of a new "event." Apparently, "It's Time" and the subject is a "Brief Breath in Eternity" (which is a rather unfortunate subject for a briefing that is apparently about the amazing work scientology has done dealing with the "planetary bullbait" of COVID - 19) or how everyone is "stepping 3 feet back" (like 1 step forward and 3 back?) They are getting the hype out right away in typical scientology style -- "as soon as we have a date we will let you know." Hope the brief breath hasn't expired by the time … [Read more...]

SuMP is “About to Start Broadcasting”

March 27, 2017 By Mike Rinder 65 Comments

Scientologists live in a constant dream world of what is "going to happen." All orgs are going to be ideal. OT IX and X are going to be released. We are going to disseminate to the entire world through SuMP.  Scientologists, in their own vernacular, need to "get in present time." They are not stuck in the past. They are stuck in the future. Operating in a completely unreal world that exists in their minds sometime "soon." And what is so laughable about this particular promotional item is that it is selling people what THEY have to do to be able to disseminate, when the whole pitch of SuMP … [Read more...]

SuMP Mystery Solved!

August 24, 2016 By Mike Rinder 62 Comments

They are making fundraising videos....   This is the ONLY thing that has emanated from the Sump since the grand ribbon yanking ceremony. The irony is amazing. Even for scientology. Miscavige decides he wants to be a Hollywood mogul and purchases and old studio lot. Let's not forget he already HAS a "state-of-the-art" studio at Golden Era Production with "the largest free standing sound stage in California" and a purpose built "Film Lab" to process film (of course that is like his specially built CD line -- horse and buggies in the digital age).  Nevertheless, the … [Read more...]

SuMP: An Update on Progress

August 16, 2016 By Mike Rinder 126 Comments

Why am I not surprised. The mystery has been solved:  How come the greatest advance in planetary dissemination in history has been unnaturally quiet? Not a single ad has appeared. The airwaves have not been flooded with all the good news about scientology. In fact, it is deafening silence from the center of the universe as we know it. Remember how much hype there was about how this was the "uncorrupted communication line to the billions" and all sorts of other vast overstatements? This is the headline and first paras of the article on scientology.org.... But the explanation of SuMP's … [Read more...]

More SuMP Insanity

May 29, 2016 By Mike Rinder 91 Comments

Tony Ortega has some excellent material on his blog today about the opening of the SuMP. A few other/additional/redundant thoughts on this subject. First, one of the more insane emails ever to come my way, Pasadena org sent this out at 8 pm on Friday night to let everyone know to come to the org at 7am the following morning because "course starts at 8am" -- the most important thing about the most important event in the history of scientology, in fact the entire universe, is to keep those student points up and NOT MISS A MINUTE of your "enhancement"! Of course, the email also contains … [Read more...]

The SuMP is Upon Us

May 28, 2016 By Mike Rinder 117 Comments

It's finally arrived... the day for the ribbon yanking of the greatest boondoggle in scientology history (and that is saying something). After all the put-off dates and promotion with NO dates and emails from anyone and everyone, the crowds will gather, the video crews will be capturing every word and every angle, and scientology will launch itself into the 20th century with a white elephant for the ages. Below is just a sampling of the frenzy of urgent messages to implore all scientologists everywhere to show up for this event. You have to wonder how many "celebrities" will be there, as … [Read more...]

SuMP Suckers

January 13, 2016 By Mike Rinder 135 Comments

You sort of have to feel for the people that buy into the SuMP (Scientology Media Productions) pitches, and this woman has obviously jumped in with both feet. Instead of getting her roof fixed, she gives money for SuMP. A completely useless activity that serves no purpose other than as a hook to get money. And she actually believes that "we changed the whole dynamic in South America with WTH". And then the "media is all distorted" so you cannot rely on them to report about this massive success of changing Colombia, they never get it right. So, the ONLY source of "true information" is … [Read more...]

Part 2 with @sheltondesigner now available on #FairGamePodcast. We go deep into the RPF, #scientology's Thought Reform Program and the Truth Rundown "security checking" designed to gaslight a person that anything bad in #scientology is an invented lie. https://www.mikerindersblog.org/episode-36-critical-thinker-chris-shelton-part-2/

If you are a Scientology watcher or someone who wants to know more about cultic control methods, you're going to want to see this. The Truth Rundown is concentrated gaslighting and is the subject of the @MikeRinder and @LeahRemini podcast this week. https://youtu.be/x9fJkVJD0yQ

Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful birthday wishes yesterday. The best thing about birthdays is being reminded of all the friends I have. It’s amazing. You are amazing. And along with family, the single most important thing in life.

You learn about what they've tried to do to me on @LeahRemini and @MikeRinder's podcast.

We talked about some of it in the interview.

But I don't care...Scientology is a paper tiger.

@yashar This whole week, I’ve been wondering how many people Scientology has following you in the streets or working to hack you. I know the answer isn’t zero. I don’t recall ever thinking that about someone speaking out against the Catholic Church.
