Scientology's hyperbolic claims about itself have hit a new high (low?) Gathering at the Advanced Org (why there are not Joburg org?) -- a "diverse and eclectic team" mobilized on election day to hand out Way to Happiness booklets. As a result of the "more than 400" who joined in passing out the booklets (the photo shows about 50 and you can bet it's a staged shot to include as many people as they could) the "predicted riots" were "everted." Not since the claims that OT VIII's brought down the Berlin Wall have we heard such unadulterated poppycock. The delusion is breathtaking. Surely … [Read more...]
No Scientology Volunteer Ministers Activities Since January 2022?
Looks like the "largest private relief force on earth" has become the most inactive private relief force on earth. This is their official website: "News" section Apparently, nothing has been done about it since February 2022? Not that there has been a shortage of things that needed some volunteers. The area an hour south of Clearwater was devasted by a Hurricane. A monstrous earthquake in Turkey. Tornados in Mississippi and Alabama. Flooding in California. And MUCH more. Let alone issues of homelessness, famine, poverty and disease all over the world. Where are the … [Read more...]
Where is the Largest Private Relief Force on Earth?
Hurricane Ian has devastated a huge swath of Florida, a swath that includes Flag and the "ideal" orgs in Tampa and Orlando. Where is the "Largest Private Relief Force on Earth?" There are more scientologists in Clearwater/Tampa Bay than anywhere on earth according to scientology. 14,000 of them if you take them at their word (other times they have said 12,000 or 10,000, it's probably more like 5,000 total staff and public). They even have a dedicated building along the Potemkin Village row on N. Ft Harrison in Clearwater: You know if they WERE doing something, they … [Read more...]
FEMA Beware
Pictured above is a recent Scientology press release... Typical of scientology, they are trying to position themselves once again with the Red Cross, Salvation Army and FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). This is a very important thing in the scientology world -- "gaining acceptance" and "creating allies" who legitimize the organization. They hope these people will throw them some bones and recognize them in some way which they will then use when their abuses are exposed. "Look at all our good works, we could not possibly be abusing people. See, we are … [Read more...]
Hawking Hubbard’s Baby Formula
Typical scientology. There is a situation in the US with a shortage of infant formula. An opportunity to move in with some Hubbard "tech" -- the "barley formula." I hope nobody falls for this. Hubbard claims it is a formula used by the Romans 2200 years ago -- that "barley sustained the Roman legions" and that this concoction, featuring a liberal dose of Karo syrup (cornstarch syrup) and cow's milk is better than breast milk and commercial baby formula. Here is the page giving the ingredients and method of preparation from the Scientology Handbook. Like much of the … [Read more...]
Making Clearwater A Scientology “Ideal City”
If anyone in the Clearwater community does not believe scientology is determined to own their city, let this be another warning. This woman apparently doesn't have enough to do in Venezuela (everything is going along so well there) so she is in Clearwater delivering seminars (in Spanish ?) "in alignment with our purpose of making Clearwater an ideal city." For those who don't know, "ideal" in scientology means "fully in accordance with the dictates of L. Ron Hubbard." Scientologists are learning and "drilling" to infiltrate the community. They are proud of this effort and want every s … [Read more...]
Is Leigh Dundas Pulling a Scam for Scientology?
After the revelation that 2 OT 7 scientologists were arrested for their participation in the June 6 insurrection, we were sent a video clip reportedly taken (and narrated) by wackjob "human rights attorney" Leigh Dundas (who seems to have returned from hiding out in Mexico following her participation in the January 6th insurrection). She was apparently helping to organize the "People's Convoy" in Adelanto California (not a very glamorous spot for a sendoff I must say). For some reason, a bunch of the people in this video are wearing yellow t-shirts... A coincidence? I doubt it. I suspect t … [Read more...]
VM’s Swing Into Action
Once again, the "largest private relief force on earth" has swung into fundraising and photo op action following the deadly tornados in Kentucky. As you can see, the ideal orgs in Nashville, Cincinnati (actually located across the river in Kentucky) and Columbus poured thousands, hundreds, tens of a few people into the relief effort a week or so after the event. They never said they are fast, just the biggest. Actually, the ideal orgs in the region, despite having yellow vans, are not the ones coordinating the effort, it's being handled out of Los … [Read more...]
Celebrity Center: Nothing Can Be Done About It
Anyone who has visited Los Angeles in the last decade knows there is a homeless problem. Apparently since COVID it has gotten even worse. A lot of homeless people have come from colder states where winter can be a literal death sentence for a homeless person. It might get chilly in Southern California, but never deathly cold. A lot of homeless people have moved to the LA area, and you see them everywhere. Below is a fairly typical sight on a freeway overpass. This one happens to be on North Bronson Ave. Here is a shot a few yards further north on Bronson. You can now see on the … [Read more...]
The House of Cards is Collapsing
"Freedom" magazine recently put out this tweet: Curious (?), I clicked on the link. This is what it takes you to -- an article reporting on their supposed accomplishments in 2017! For the "largest private relief force on earth" it is just a little strange that they have nothing to report about for 3 years? No disasters in the intervening period is not the reason -- remember the wildfires in California? The Hurricanes in Louisiana? Just this year.... The real reason for no update is no action. This is a reflection of the fact there are no international … [Read more...]
