Funny how transparent scientology is. Under the guise of being "standard" and "on source" these clowns stumble and bumble around doing the most incredibly foolish things that invariably blow up in their faces. I recently received two separate emails, both containing the same text, though they concern two different people. Under the guise of conducting an "ethics interrogatory" the emails are intended only to create mistrust and worry about Glenn Samuels and Candy Swanson in the minds of the people that are the recipients of the emails. How can you tell these are not a real … [Read more...]
2016 — The Year Of BS
Haven't had a chance to get this out yet. It perhaps encapsulates the reality within the scientology bubble better than anything. It is not only full of typos and spelling mistakes (Narcannon?), it is full of "scientology-think" - a strain of illogic that is sometimes hard to believe. And as an added bonus, it has a generous helping of shermanspeak ("the moment we synchronize with eternity" - perhaps it's some sort of get-together on infinity's porch?). You can read it for yourself, but don't spend a lot of time trying to make sense of the nonsensical. It will make you insane. Some … [Read more...]
The World’s Largest Scientology Field Group
Is it in India? China? A large US city where there is no scientology org? Houston perhaps? Anywhere in the upper MidWest of the US? New Jersey? Perhaps Africa? Or in Russia? Nope. The "world's largest scientology field group" is right in Clearwater less than a mile away from Flag. And it specializes in auditing children of Flag public. This is yet another indicator that the massive, straight up and vertical expansion of scientology is a complete fabrication. If this field group is the best they have got on planet earth it means there is virtually nobody newly coming into … [Read more...]
Scientology Delusions
You have probably read mentions of the idea that scientologists believe they cause things to happen that are quite mad. OT VIII's claiming it was their intention that brought down the Berlin Wall for example (meanwhile, they cannot make all orgs ideal and then tell Dear Leader "We are ready for you to release OT IX and X") But many of these things are the stuff of myth. You didn't hear anyone say it, so you don't really know if it is just an urban legend. The Berlin Wall coming down was before the days of social media. Oh how Instagram/Facebook/Twitter etc etc have opened the world … [Read more...]
The Scientology Circular Bridge to Nowhere
How pathetic is this? They try to make it sound so wonderful -- after years (likely decades) and many hundreds of thousands of dollars, the big news is the "excitement" of doing the Purif and SRD over again. And then, the "wins" of redoing the Student Hat and "the Basics". Apparently, the pinnacle of scientology today is the bottom of the Bridge. The PhD's of scientology are promoting the "wins" of going back and redoing Primary School as if they are so much more important now that they have attained the highest available levels. It used to be that the "prerequisites" for each OT … [Read more...]
Scientology: The Answers to Every Question Anyone May Have…
This IS what fundamentalist scientologists believe. They are taught NOT to think. And it is the greatest, all-encompassing "thought stopper" in scientology. The perfect fallback when all else fails. If you know a truly dedicated fundamentalist scientologist, you will know that this is the mindset of them all. An absolute certainty that they know the answer to everything in the universe if they study enough L. Ron Hubbard. Within his words are contained "the answers to every question anyone may have about life..." And this is truly everything. You want to know all there is to know … [Read more...]
Amazon Ain’t No Scientology
My old friend, Andy Porter, sent me this article. It's an eerie look at scientology from a different perspective. What I find especially interesting is the fact that this gave rise to an outraged piece in the New York Times, yet, as you will see, the conduct they deemed worthy of a lengthy article pales in comparison to scientology. I would probably have added a parenthetical note to Andy's title -- Amazon: The New Scientology? (Not even close...) That said, Andy is a great writer and draws many excellent parallels. Amazon: The New Scientology? Back in August I heard about … [Read more...]
64X Expansion
42X was not good enough. Let's make it 64X in 17 months. 64 is a good number. 8x8. 4 cubed. 2 to the 6th power. It just has a nice ring to it that connotes exponential expansion.... 17 months I am not so sure about. 18 would have been better, but someone probably decided 17 sounded less contrived. Like instead of saying there were 12,000 people at the SP building ribbon cutting there were 12,311, because nobody would make up an exact number like that unless it was true. But really it is 19 months since GAG II. I suppose if you are going to just make up numbers it doesn't matter wh … [Read more...]
Wake Up The Government
This was posted on ESMB and then Karen De La Carriere reposted it to Twitter and Facebook. It is worth taking note. Letters from CONSTITUENTS are treated seriously by elected officials. The more US Congressmen there are who have been made aware of the issue, the greater the chance of something being done. The IRS is answerable to Congress. Sooner or later this is going to become an issue that one or more politicians will feel they can gain popularity with. When that day happens, the more there are to jump on the bandwagon the better. Writing to your Congressman IS an effective means of … [Read more...]
Mike Rinder Coffee Waiter
The latest video from scientology attempting to 'dead agent" me is quite amusing. Though, if I was David Miscavige I would be screaming bloody murder claiming I was the subject of terrorist threats and hate crimes because they frame me in "scope sights." This is especially concerning after David "Let Him Die" Miscavige hired PI's with an arsenal including assault rifles with silencers to tail his own father. If anyone put up this sort of video with David Miscavige framed in armament sights it would take about 3 minutes for the stuck pig squealing to begin. Tony Ortega c … [Read more...]
