					<description><![CDATA[If you read the new book of Eliot Weinberger on America , you finally get the wish to die. America seems to be a graveyard, sucked by greed on money and greed on greed. If you follow these thoughts, you surely get a new or alternative opinion on the human mind. 

Scn is, compared with that, a unimportant small company. I guess, that the danger is the fascistic philosophy. Ready made for other dictators.

					<description><![CDATA[I believed into this front groups and also how effective they are. Of course I compared it with other groups, and it looked, that the most effective ones were the miscavige groups.

Unfortunately, when I was in the sea org, it became obvious, that scn is a pure money collecting company, with Mafia methods. It was then obvious, that these groups do nothing. Only existing for PR.
The good thing, as schooled with the policies with my infantile mind, that I was not educated on a gun.

At this point, weapons, I guess, this group would instantly install big concentration camps and gulags. Be sure.

These front groups are a fancy trick, to show how sheeple a monster can become if you feed it with enough money.

(hmm, no, wrong coclusio. 
As you see on Trump: monsters never get enough. Never. )]]></description>

In post-modernism, axioms are redefined by chaos theory while the Paradox states the theory and its inverse are simultaneously true. In fact, the Maya or illusion shows us that what we know to be fundamental and objective truth, eternal and universal, is a manifested dreamlike ether, yet I know hard concrete materialism can seem indestructible and immovable. If the malleability of existence wasn&#039;t true, then the double slit experiment would have yielded a singular result. 
I don&#039;t mind self-authority. The book that I am reading now shows how modern dictators were fulfilling a compulsion people need to give up authority so they don&#039;t have to think themselves. They literally said they could move mountains with the backing of the people in speeches (Moussallini and Hitler). It also applies to charismatic leaders like LRH. The book is called Dark Star Rising. We should all learn to create our own individual subjective truth based on our objective observations, and have that in mind when truthisms arise and intellectuals feign superiority in philosophy, or charlatans in religion.]]></description>

PS: Several corrections to my story; first, Cybill Shepherd was Miss Teenage Memphis, not Miss Tennessee, in that Miss Teenage America contest,  and then, above is the correct spelling of her name which I misspelled in the my earlier post.   So, at least in this long ago contest,  the hands down most stunningly beautiful girl didn&#039;t win and was instead runner up and &quot;Miss Congeniality&quot; and the more cute than pretty,  friendly and very athletic girl won the crown  Actually it was her talent - those batons - incredible.  Takes a lot of coordination to do what she used to do.]]></description>

A girl in my high school class became Miss Teenage America.  She beat out Cybelle Shepard who was Miss Tennessee in the Teenage America contest back in the day.   Her talent was absolutely amazing;  she was an expert baton twirler.  She had already won many contests.  She was really good.  In the pageant she twirled flaming batons.  A terrific show.   Unlike Cybelle Shepard she was not classicly beautiful; she was pretty and also unlike her she was rather thin and undeveloped.   In school she was popular.  Friends, boyfriends.  She also got top grades.  All of this makes you think like you&#039;d want to hate her, but you couldn&#039;t hate this girl.  She was unaffected, unconceited and genuinely nice.  You couldn&#039;t not like her.  The point is that at least in this particular pageant, with something of a pretty face and a friendly, down to earth disposition and an amazing talent  she beat out an acknowledged beauty with stunning looks who went on to become a Ford model and a famous actress.  Today she  is a tenured professor at a major university - BA, MA, PHD - she went the academic route.  She never pursued the beauty route, although I believe she was Homecoming Queen at the university from which she graduated.  She and I were never friends but we were friend-ly  and I always admired  and liked her.  Possibly my anecdotal example is unusual but just to say that looks alone don&#039;t always win these contests.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What&#039;s needed now is the expertise of someone ala Gracie Lou Freebush aka  FBI Agent Gracie Hart,  who, undercover as &quot; Miss New Jersey&quot;,  infiltrated the Miss United States Pageant in the film, &quot;Miss Congeniality&quot;.

Well, first off, a quick glance at the website displays the usual CoS nonsense: a flashy website filled with information about pamphlets and self-produced education content, but without a whole lot of substance.

Second, they are advocating for a completely drug-free world. Nothing is ever that black and white, and anything from LSD to marijuana to prescription drugs can have its benefits in the right circumstances. Rather than any approach from nuance, they make sweeping generalizations and blanket statements founded in fearmongering, up to and including completely erroneous information about marijuana and its effects on the brain. They&#039;ve even included citations to a number of studies--that have expired and are inaccessible. In one case they do have a working link, but it&#039;s to a sensationalized article about the study, which the same journal posted an update to later confirming the findings to be unrelated.

All their breakdowns function about like this.

There&#039;s no information about credentials or the validity of any of these booklets apart from the cited studies and the fact that one of their directors is a pediatrician.

Most importantly, and I can&#039;t stress this enough, it is not just supported by the Church of Scientology, it is a division of the Church. That means that regardless of the information on that site (which is on its own a radical position) they are going to subscribe fully to the doctrines of the CoS.

The don&#039;t mention Narconon or the purif on the page, but if you call their numbers on the pamphlet that is where they&#039;ll direct you. Further, many schools and agencies have been involuntarily associated and had to ask to be removed from their websites and literature.

Even the devil can&#039;t defend these folks.

That being said, yes, it would be helpful to note that in the blog post so it doesn&#039;t come off as being biased or targeted, even though it&#039;s completely justified.]]></description>

Why thank you my friend!  How very kind of you!  Sadly, as many of us know, it&#039;s so true.

 There is so much competition OUT there to be photographed, having media request interviews one on one, to get one&#039;s FACE continually out there to be recognized by young &#038;old. We&#039;ve seen far too many times &quot;nasty photographs&quot; being &quot;somehow released&quot; to the public to whet out appetites &#038; THAT is what kept certain people making millions from a TV Show.

WHO ARE these people???  Well, if you do NOT know, now you&#039;ve seen their photograph so your interested  is peeked...&#038; you&#039;ll investigate.

Staying relevant to many is a necessity...it brings in COLD HARD CASH....]]></description>
