I was sent this Facebook message by Aaron Smith-Levin, who received it from Aida Barbosa in Mexico City. He does not know Aida. But she is very concerned that Aaron may know someone who is connected to Mark Bunker and that he should unfriend that person on Facebook as soon as he figures out if that person has other friends connected to Bunker. Obviously she does not know who Aaron is or that he is more than Facebook friends with Mark Bunker. But it gives some insight into the world of scientology and how panicked they are about Mark Bunker. And that, as has been said so often, it is OSA … [Read more...]
PTS to the Corona Virus
Our old friend Terra Cognita weighs in on the pandemic... I couldn’t help wondering about what Scientologists must be thinking about the Corona Virus. L. Ron Hubbard wrote that the only reason a person gets sick is due his or her connection to an SP—a suppressive person. In laymen’s terms, SPs make up about two and half percent of the population and are the real baddies of the world. They’re masters at disguise (unless, of course, you’re a Scientologist and have the tech to identify them) and account for most of the misery on planet Earth. LRH said that people connected to SPs were … [Read more...]
It’s “Damagingly Commercial” – LRH (and some hair-raising Fair Game docs) first published May 16, 2014
See my announcement on Friday -- I am revisiting earlier posts during my vacation. Each day there will be a different one. A Special Correspondent sent this to me and it is an interesting study for a couple of reasons. First -- you can see the contempt LRH had for The Auditor being "damagingly commercial" and "putting emphasis on speed through courses." How do you think he would view the current scene in scientology? The statements made in this Auditor are positively pathetic compared to what is said today about the "speed up the Bridge" and with GAT II ESPECIALLY focused on the … [Read more...]
The Metrics: Global BS
This is a recent tweet from Freedom magazine. The level of bald-faced lies is breathtaking. 1.5 million volunteers? Where? I can only assume they now count everyone in the Red Cross wordlwide because a Volunteer Minister in Manila had a photo taken with the local Red Cross coordinator. Scientology could hardly scrape together 1.5 million BT's if they rounded up their 6500 OT's and had them pool their resources. This is simply absurd. And apparently they say it with a straight face. Seeing this, I just had to click on their link to "get the story." So, here is their … [Read more...]
LA County District Attorney Election Tomorrow.
The election for the District Attorney of LA County is on "Super Tuesday" (tomorrow, 3 March). This is not something I would normally write about, but the actions of Jackie Lacey have concerned me for some time -- since I was first contacted by the victims of Danny Masterson. Leah and I have been personally involved trying to help these women get justice and have witnessed the frustration of Jackie Lacey sitting on the proposed prosecution of the crimes without rejecting or filing charges. She has left the case and Masterson's victims in limbo. It is the coward's way out -- if a … [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...]
Planetary Clearing in Reverse
This is a new Clear proudly displaying his "Clear Bracelet" numbered 73,357. Let us assume for arguments sake that there have in fact been 75,000 Clears made. The number is significantly lower, most of the lower numbers are for people who were subsequently declared "Not Clear" and also every org is allocated a certain block of numbers -- there are probably 5,000 numbers out there waiting to be claimed, Salt Lake City gets 71,401 to 71,500 and Atlanta has 71,901 to 72,000 etc etc. But 75,000 is a nice round number that is pretty easy to do the math with. Since 1950 that is a little over … [Read more...]
Scientologists “Shattering” Suppression
This is a recent Facebook post from one of the deluded scientologists who believe they are "changing the world." She actually believes the magazines disappeared from the shelves permanently? And even if they did, that she makes any difference to the impact of this story? Here is what she was so upset about, last week's Us Weekly (they are dated for the day they "expire" so readers don't think they are getting "old" fake news) cover story.... Typical of tabloid mags, the story actually doesn't have anything to do with the headlines. It reports on the … [Read more...]
Scientology’s Happy Valentine’s Day Messages
Scientology uses any opportunity to try to get people to step inside their buildings. Each of these supposedly non-church activities is part and parcel of the same big ball of wax. And you can bet that if anyone is silly enough to attend any of these things and give their name, phone number or email they will be receiving SCIENTOLOGY promotional materials for the next 100 years. And here is another "Valentine's Day message" put up on my daughter's web page. The twisted logic of this one defies description. My message to you on this Valentine's Day is "hate your father and do everything you … [Read more...]
STAND League Rises From The Dead — Not Really
Nothing from the STAND League for some time, and then out of the blue they drag out the old "Rapist Apologists" tag line? Why? The upcoming hearing that is going to put this in the spotlight again? Some media contacted them about the allegations? The D/A sent a subpoena? Miscavige asked what they are doing about Remini and Rinder and they had to have something to show him? Who knows, but something happened, so they posted it twice in succession. And couldn't garner a single "like." Because they brought it up -- let me refer you to what we DID in fact say about … [Read more...]
