Clearwater PR – Xmas Carolers Surprise

December 18, 2017 By Mike Rinder 86 Comments

Carolers hoping to snare some unsuspecting victims in the Clearwater scientology “info center”

Another Freudian slip.

This is a couple of weeks old. Scientology put out a press release about their wonderful goodwill gesture of caroling for Christmas.

Of course, scientology and Christianity have nothing to do with one another. Scientologists do NOT celebrate Christmas. Their Christmas is March 13, they hold a massive celebration (at least massive for them) to commemorate the birth of L. Ron Hubbard. It is the most important day on the scientology calendar.

So, it is quite hypocritical for them to make themselves appear to be “Christian observant.”

But then Amber inadvertently lets slip the real reason for their effort.

To get people into the building to “view the panels” and watch “several videos” about scientology and Hubbard.

 

Some real Clearwater PR

Please watch this short video from Aaron Smith-Levin.

We are embarking on a downtown Clearwater revitalization project…

      It’s been oddly difficult — but both he and I have had other things we have had to do.

      I hope it will be fully resolved by tomorrow.

    Scientologists posing as Christians singing Christmas songs to Christians while respectfully keeping silent about the R6 bank on which Christianity is based. Nothing weird about that. Seeking approval from bodies much?

    Cult Of $cientology is truly made up of whatever remaining boneheads with their transparent & pathetic luring schtick methods. You really have to be more than a couple cards short of a deck to fall for it. $cientology knows no shame in order to get their numbers up especially sickeningly using people’s religious celebrating as a me-too touchstone. “Oh come, all ye Thaaay-tans…”

    Clearwater needs to clearly take back their town.

    Once again, I’m repulsed by the underhanded attempts to lure unsuspecting innocents into their clutches. It is just so mean spirited and manipulative. A good analogy on par with this behavior is of the sicko’s who offer candy to sweet little kids to lure them away and then abuses them . Seriously…this is what I thought of when I saw that caroling picture.

    And, right the fuck on, Aaron!! Take back that beautiful town that has been defaced by this despicable cult. Create concerts loud enough to blow out the windows of Flag. I picture a HUGE TV screen blasting the “truths” to the inhabitants of the cult. A few may blow in the process or, at least, may make subversive contact. They could easily get lost in the crowd and the crowds help them escape. This is great!

    Xenu’s Bar. An eerie, dry-icey ufo bar. House cocktails include Arp Cola, Goof The Floof and the So On And So Forth. Toilets are hidden behind a wall (of “fire”). Thursday night cabarets include drag queen Little Miss Cabbage performing disco versions of Thank You For Listening and Wind Splitter.

    Aaron, I though of a name for this movement to take back Clearwater… “OPERATION PEST CONTROL”!

    What a great idea, to take back Clearwater downtown from those soulless robots filing here and there to fulfill their useless busywork.

    What if everyone goes downtown, and every time a scientologist is within earshot, start divulging OT VIII “mysteries”? This might eventually drive them away.

    Scientologists are totally deluded. Here is the real
    Lucifer (Hubbard) in Milton’s “Paradise Lost” Book Nine:

    “If I could joy in aught, sweet interchange [ 115 ]
    Of Hill, and Vallie, Rivers, Woods and Plaines,
    Now Land, now Sea, and Shores with Forrest crownd,
    Rocks, Dens, and Caves; but I in none of these
    Find place or refuge; and the more I see
    Pleasures about me, so much more I feel [ 120 ]
    Torment within me, as from the hateful siege
    Of contraries; all good to me becomes
    Bane, and in Heav’n much worse would be my state.”

    In real Scientology, Hubbard is the anti-Christ.
    Hubbard had Jesus as a pedophile. There is no
    Christmas in Scientology.
    I have a friend who called me twice. Christmas is a terrible time
    for him because his children are under threats from the International Justice Chief.
    He is a father and a grandfather with threat of disconnection.

      “I have a friend who called me twice. Christmas is a terrible time for him because his children are under threats from the International Justice Chief. He is a father and a grandfather with threat of disconnection.

      What you’ve shared applies to many people reading posting here, to many Ex Scn suffering Disconnection from their loved ones, George. These are the people that brave;ly refused to cave to these threats, who effectively channeled their Inner Dirty Harry and said, “Go ahead, make my day” to the cult. Brave people!

      “There is no Christmas in Scientology”. Truly, there is none, even for those Still In, in and in Good Standing.

      You’ll see Christmas trees and Santas but its all just for show, it means nothing to the cult except as an “ethnic” PR ploy with end “product” more sales or donations to the cult. If the majority of Scientologists were, say, Jewish or Muslim, you’d see Minorahs, and Islamic symbols all over the orgs.

      Which gives me an idea. I think at this time we all you use a reminder of why we left – one of the reasons, anyway.

        I’d like to add that appearances to the contrary my comment above was not intended as a pejorative of any Still In remaining in the cult and/or UTR solely in order to remain connected to loved ones. Every person is different, each situation is different. I know what its like to lose people, people who are everything, in one’s life. Nothing about the ramifications of Scientology’s abhorrent, cruel Disconnection policy is simple, black/white, right/wrong. Its not for me to judge. I never had to make this kind of decision. Just say.

I have known after the application is published in the “Diario Oficial” (Official Diary), any Mexican citizen can file a motion not to grant scn the religious status.
    And in any case, if they succeed scn will have to avoid RPF, endless fundraising and more, behaving as a truly civilized organization…

      On His Stage
      Gold is glistening
      A horrible sight
      You’re pissed off tonite
      Listening to a Miscavige Event.

      Dave is awe – fully boring
      Still you act so adoring
      You stand, cheer and clap
      You do all that crap
      When you’re at a Miscavige Event.

      Int Events exist to sell you something
      Flows, donations, DM’s New Release
      You will have to buy or donate something
      To earn yourself some temporary peace.

      All the time as they’re reg’ging
      Borrowed funds you are pledging
      You scarf down some food
      Once more you are screwed
      Trapped inside a Miscavie Event.

      After the Event you’ll get a Survey
      Staff will ask What Did You Like The Most?
      You’ll say Every Thing Was Really Great, Hey!
      Cause if you don’t you know that you’ll be toast.

      Out the door, you are legging
      Give us MORE, they are begging
      As one might expect
      They show no respect
      Ever, at a Miscavige Event.

In that class, if I wasn’t re-reading “Gone With The Wind” with the book in my lap I was doing this nonsense. Miracle that I passed. Today, I do it just to mentally escape, or to make myself less serious. Something like that.

    Suggestion as a fun event. Do a big arts and craft show…the city can grant a permit for this to close the streets, have live music, have lots of artists and crafters and the booth space can go for say $100 a space…the city could host it and charge more for the tents.. Like the Howard Allen shows but hosted by the city. We do one a month in Nokomis, hosted by our co-op, and we charge $35.00 per booth space, have a 2 musicians, and the local restaurants and bars clean up too. Do a newspaper article, get a friendly reporter from the local paper who is on the same page and wants to see Clearwater thrive again…(it’s such a great town) Promote it big time ….and you will get lots of folks. Art shows are big! Would be big biz for the Lucky Anchor, if there are any restaurants there at all it would be biz for them, or food trucks too I suppose. But quality art.. not like a flea market. Venice has them, Sarasota has them and Englewood, and Port Charlotte. I wouldn’t suggest a Howard Allen run one. wayyyyyyy to costly for the artists and the promoters , the Allens, are the only ones who make good money…. that could be fun.. especially to launch into off season when the artists need to make $$ as do the local businesses. If you have time to promote it for say March.. then you still get all the snow birds. If you need help or ideas on this Aaron, let me know. Mike knows who Madge is, so ask him for my contact info…. or go read one of your new books you got on Saturday. (hint) :0)

    Well said Arron, but I suspect that most in the Clearwater area only do occasional drive bys to laugh at the Borg. Like much of the US, the downtown has been abandoned for the suburbs. I doubt that enough care to protest or claim back the town. I have to think that Miscavige will try to close those streets for some stupid excuse. That will be enjoyable too. We will get to see what city officials or employees are in the clam basket.

    Still, it would be so much fun to poke the clam and stop at the beer pub for more fun. And ti would be even more fun to see if enough area residents wanted to poke the clam too. Good Luck….And happy R6Implant day to you and yours.

      The Dickensian type caroling garb may also be a Freudian slip of Bob Cratchet, the Dickens poor sod who was a slave to Scrooge who had to beg for a little wood for the fire and never got a day off and was paid half of what he needed to barely survive.

    Hello from Utah!
    Great idea on revitalizing CW.

    Out here there are events that draw people out to visit with each other.

    Car and chili cook off (with a fairway offering games, challenges, entertainment)

    Pinterest had an event PINNERS. I went and was shocked (not a big Pinner) at how many clever and creative people there are. Tons of hands-on workshops for adults and kids.

    Roller Derby and/or similar unique sports represented. The athletes are amazing.

    In soCal we had The Highlander Games. Tons of people finding their heritage and roots. Also there was a Scandinavian Festival, Margarita Festival…

    Lastly, they had an Antiques Rummage Sale that was so exciting you couldnt even MOVE. So many people!

    I would LOVE to help and open a business just to fight the insane group of humans that think they are better than anyone else.

      Toot to OT, I travel to UT on a regular basis. I’d love to meet you in person on my next visit if you’d like. I like making the acquaintance of other people who have left the church.

    I’m never in, and I’ve never been to Clearwater, but I ALWAYS have suggestions. Have a street fair. If the City would approve it, booths and tables could be set up, autographed books could be sold, suppressive af tshirts. Dog hoodies. People visors, And crafts and artistry to show off local talent.

    Hmm thinking out loud, each vendor contribute a small percentage to Clearwater funds for new downtown businesses.

      Love the book sale idea. Marc and Claire, Karen Pressley, Maybe Paulette Cooper, etc could sell and autograph their books.

      I have been a frequent visitor to Clearwater over the last forty years. Some things never change. Scientology owns the most buildings but the public stays away. It is an amazing paradox. In the late 1970’s there were thousands upon thousands of Scientologists walking the streets around the Fort Harrison Hotel which was in constant inept restoration. Suddenly the beautiful buildings sprang up one by one and the public went south. My idea has been to start a “Religious Freedom Center” which merely tells the truth about Hubbard, Cults and “brainwashing”. But who would come to see it?
      Clearwater just voted for a $62 million restoration of the downtown area in a desperate attempt to contain Scientology. The city has been attempting to restore the downtown area since the years after WWI when the businesses merged into the suburbs. The new Tax Act is causing major alarm in Clearwater as we may see Scientology political candidates. It might be a good time for me to invest a few dollars in my plan to develop the “Religious Freedom Center”.

        Aquamarine: Take a gander at the definitions of “fair use”. That could allow that sort of thing even if DM HAS TM’d “Xenu” as a word WRT his “religion”. My vote would be for “Xenu and I are BFFs!”, possibly with the image of Terl (Battlefield Earth)included, though that’d be a complex set of silkscreens($$$).

          Will do, jere. I’ll bone up on “fair use” Love your vote too. Endless possibilities for J & D ing using the Xenu theme. Your suggestion would be HILARIOUS!

    Exciting to hear about what you guys are going to do for Clearwater! And will be great for people to see what can happen when people come together for the GOOD of a community w/no strings attached.

    I mean, c’mon, you guys aren’t requiring the city to give you a specific parcel of land or anything? You’re just doing something like this because… it’s good for the community?
    (Queue shock & awe at the out-exchange-ness of it all!)
