This is a couple of weeks old now, but the hypocrisy remains current and fresh... Scientology seeking to gain credibility for itself by pretending to align with the ADL. Of course, scientology CLAIMS they "stand with the ADL" and are champions who fight at every turn against anti-Semitism. But what is the real story? Scientology fully supports the Nation of Islam, and presented its highest recognition (the "IAS Freedom Medal") to Tony Muhammad (he now goes by Abdul Malik Sayyid Muhammad). This is very well documented in numerous previous articles on this blog (and elsewhere) … [Read more...]
Blowing More Smoke Captain Miscavige’s Way
I recently posted about the sycophants gushing over Captain Miscavige. Here is another one. In celebration of his birthday on Saturday, the brown-nosers at the Stand League sent out this tweet (not a word these days from Fast Eddie Parkin -- he was so righteously right, but I guess not good enough in the end and now scrubbing dumpsters somewhere): Obviously, as the celebrations for Ron's Birthday are on the decline in terms of importance and attendance, Captain Dave is taking Source's place. The official propaganda organ of scientology is tweeting out about how it's a "privilege" to … [Read more...]
Scientology Hypocrisy: Champions of Religious Freedom
More scientology hypocrisy. They often shout they are champions of "freedom of religion" and of course "protect everyone's right to practice the religion of their choice." Unless they believe that choice is in some way harmful to scientology. This article on the STAND League website claims that they have created a "case library" with all the important First Amendment cases included. The article was published on 26 January 2022. Of course, this article appeared just a week after the most recent First Amendment case ruling, specifically addressing the freedom of people NOT to be … [Read more...]
Scientology Hate and Discrimination Exposed
This is the bleat they repeat over and over. "We stand for everyone's human rights" and "we protect the rights of everyone to practice the religion of their choice" -- what they don't say out loud is the rest of the sentence: "UNTIL it is inconvenient for us." One need look no further than the recent California Appeals Court decision in the Masterson case. Tony Ortega covered the decision at the Underground Bunker It held in part (emphasis mine): Individuals have a First Amendment right to leave a religion. We hold that once petitioners had terminated their affiliation with … [Read more...]
The Blind Leading the Blind
The fools at STAND either: a) Believe everyone is so stupid they don't see right through them, or b) Are only interested in communicating to their KoolAid drinking bubble-dwellers who accept anything and everything they say at face value as if it is unalterable truth, even if it contradicts something they said in the previous sentence. The drivel they put out is so easily exposed as lies and propaganda it's hard to believe they even bother. The image above is a screen shot from their website. Trying to sound like freedom of religion warriors for truth and media ethics … [Read more...]
Scientology and Litigation — the Real Truth
Among the many falsehoods perpetrated on the STAND League website are a series of FAQs where they try to present the image of scientology as victims of predatory, greedy litigants ... It's a typical fable that gets off to a rollicking start: During the history of the Church, some individuals sought to make money from unfounded allegations, but the Church successfully defended against those claims. It's a false premise for a number of reasons. There have been successful litigants -- notably Lawrence Wollersheim and Julie Christoffersen who were awarded multi-million dollar … [Read more...]
More Scientology Anti-Semitic Hypocrisy
The STAND Leagues crazies carry on as if their lies are not noticed. Sockpuppet Norm Shannon just put forth a new plea to end anti-Semitism under the guise of explaining Rosh Hashanah. He says: Hate crimes, according to the report, overall increased by 6 percent over the previous year with nearly 60 percent of the incidents targeting Jews and the Jewish community. There is no question there has been a marked rise in hate directed at Jews. Far right groups have been stirring the anti-Semitic pot over recent years. Norm goes on to quote Jewish leaders and expresses his moral outrage … [Read more...]
STAND League Goes After Another Journalist
The champions of free speech lash out at another journalist who said something they didn't like. In fact, his article takes the NY Times to task over its puff piece on Rebecca Minkoff -- excerpt below: Fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff is a member of a religious cult. She reveals in today’s New York Times that she’s a practicing Scientologist. This is a smart, talented woman raised Jewish. I wouldn’t buy one more thing from her if it was on sale, discounted, or free. She’s crazy. “I think there’s a lot of confusion when people hear the word ‘religion’ — immediately you hear that I pray to … [Read more...]
STAND League — Fair Gaming Journalists Is Their Thing
Everyone familiar with scientology knows there are two things that really get their hackles up. Saying something they consider unkind about Tom Cruise, or saying something mean about David Miscavige. It does not matter whether what is said is true, if it casts either of them in a bad light, the STAND Minions are activated to come out with pencils blazing, firing off volleys of accusations of bigotry and hate. Martha Ross wrote an article about Tom Cruise in the San Jose Mercury News. Here is some of what she said that so incensed the Standbots: While the move was widely … [Read more...]
Unable to Confront and Shatter
How is it that Ed Parkin, who writes about me constantly, who organizes protests against me, who gets others to put things on social media about me, is so cowardly that he blocks me? What happened to "confront and shatter"? He is supposed to be the spearhead for scientology dealing with SP's like me. The guy who has the job of "protecting scientology." I don't block him. Or anyone else from scientology. I am not afraid of what they put on social media, disgustingly untrue as it is. I welcome them responding to anything I have to say. Would love to interact with them. Not … [Read more...]
