Ciao Aqua, I hope you got that email address I sent you recently. Let me now. Stay well.

Two things I observed during the last few years (when Trump was not in office) are 1) Trump was a revered Interview Guest on-stage with Grant at one of Cardone’s massive “10X” summits; and 2) the Cardone’s initiated a “Go Fund Me” campaign to pay for Trump’s legal bills.

This second one was so odd. Those of us Previous-Ins know the credo around “No charity!” If you reward a downstatistic, you only will engender a further decline.

Also, both the Cardone and Trump households tout that they are billionaires. The Go Fund Me platform is typically employed by individuals with limited or no resources to underwrite their documentary film, produce a CD of their music, or pay off medical debt. I found it be AN OUTPOINT of magnitude that a billionaire household was orchestrating a Go Fund Me campaign for a fellow billionaire household.

This tact begs the question…. Why don’t the handful of billionaire households who endorse Trump simply come together (quietly) and write him a check? Or better yet why doesn’t the self-proclaimed Upstat Trump (quietly) (and efficiently) pay his own bills?

There is LRH financial policy on a person addressing their own obligations, and PTSness or “being a magnet for trouble” is not an excuse. A justification perhaps but certainly no excuse. To not take responsibility for one’s own condition is assigning oneself the status of ‘Victim’ (complete effect) and a big No-No to anyone practicing Scientology.

Bringing me back to what an outpoint that Grant & Elena Cardone—two OT 8’s, right?—would seek to bypass Trump in this way. If they bypass Trump, wouldn’t that de facto put Trump in the condition of ‘Danger’? Who is the Div 5 Qual officer for Grant & Elena to guide their actions and make sure they are operating in a strictly pro-survival on-policy fashion? [Rhetorical question, of course.] Or I know… the Cardone’s must be employing, “Purpose is Senior to Policy,” the refrain oft heard from IAS fundraisers to get you to dismiss Standard Finance Policy of “Do not spend any money not in the bank” and, instead, put your donations on credit cards.

If anyone can locate that parody, please let us know. It’s both hilarious and appropriate!

However, once Trump entered office, the media’s near-exclusive focus on him allowed Scientology to slip out of the public eye, sparing it from further significant attention or criticism. So, over the next four years, it’s likely that the diminished interest in Scientology will continue, as the media remains preoccupied with him…

Take care Mike!

Will do, Mark, thanks.

Honestly, Mark? He is what he is. and he is who he is. That he has actually been RE- elected via not only the Electoral College but with a clear majority vote to me says who we really are as a country, who and what we are as Americans. For 8 years I’ve been reading that people like me live in a bubble, that people like me don’t know the real America, that we neither know or understand real Americans, etc. I didn’t believe it, couldn’t perhaps. I thought I knew the real America today. Well, I didn’t.
they were right and I was wrong. Its that simple.

Agreed in part but they’re not HIS policies. He doesn’t really have any policies. All he will be doing is holding rallies and entertaining his worshippers, “truthing” his untruths and outright lies via stream of consciousnessness inane/non-sequitur/vulgar crap, and providing fodder for endless clicks benefitting the various media both pro Trump and anti Trump spewing out endless praise, cesure, speculation as to what he really means, speculation as to what could be the consequences to the US and the world, etc. if he actually follows thru with whatever threats he happens to be making in the early morning hours, etc., etc., and on and on about him ad nauseum, informing us not at all about what we actually need to know.
The Trump Show is our 21st century Corn and Games. He is the bright shiny object to be dangled in front of us for the next 4 years to delight, entertain, amuse, bore, repel, disgust and utterly horrify us so that our attention is one way or another captured while Project 2025 gets implemented.

Steve Bannon came right out and explained the stratagem: “Flood the media with shit”. That’s waht he said, exactly and that’s what they’ve been doing for the past 8 years and that’s what they have planned for the next 4 years. I made up my mind, though, I won’t be watching, reading or listening to the Trump Shit Show, and its not sour grapes because Harris lost. Its because I realized that paying attention to this is a waste of time. I’m not going to learn anything. Admittedly, I am horrified. I never thought I’d be embarrassed to be an American, but I’m embarrassed and ashamed now. And horrified. So that makes me owned, I suppose. OK, I admit it. I’m owned. But also because I see the game, I’m also bored. Is it possible to be both horrified and bored? Maybe I’m just bored of being horrified. I think that’s it.
